and everybody in it with their president crossed out boxing overnight which said that my fellow democratic reid to be guilty is not going to be deported yet here i am. we believe that anybody who was willing to risk their life for their country the united states. should not be subject to deportation. unfortunately there are hundreds if not thousands of federal who have dealt that exact fate. and governor jerry brown on easter this year issued three pardons full and complete parties and so i'm here today to present these to you. the first issue i mr hector of ross he's probably not. going to. need to. think but maybe next year. to. find the bundle. may he call. me he. yeah if you don't want to go over. this and who are roof or where i want to live it's. ok if there was a republican sid nothing like trump or somebody you have you. believe. right now it's do whatever the veteran support house tells me to do is for us filling out paperwork in applying for this and applying for that we're trying to game with this charge or trying to get letters of recommendation for that . the last time i seen my fa

caller: my question is -- i have not heard much about the democratic, i think his name is menendez, his trial, harry reid is implicated. can you tell me how that will affect congress? guest: great question, the menendez trial i believe starts tomorrow. menendez, a democrat from new jersey, accused of corruption in getting gifts for exchange for legislative favors. he said he is completely not guilty. .e will have to be at the trial he requested, because he is a senator, to be in washington that he just shows you will be at the trial. that could factor in, if there are close votes this month. menendez is not going to be testing many votes. if any. this month. that will be one to watch and democrats are concerned about that stealing headlines this month, when republicans are trying to move a lot of stuff. that is something to watch over the next several weeks. the republican national committee has been putting out press releases saying, if menendez is convicted, he should step aside. chris christie what a point, if he does step aside, his replacement, a lot of politics possibly. we shall see if he is convi

the most partisan hack, there is no other way to say it, in the senate on the democrat side is chuck schumer. the new harry reidtrump is laying this out and i think we are seeing the beginning of a negotiation. >> kat: do you think, jessica, that this will matter when it comes to democrats, will will e more likely to compromise? >> jessica: absolutely not. democrats being in the minority, they have gotten under credible amount done, or at least stopped an incredible amount. health care, tax reform. i think it is smart to be out there with heidi heitkamp. that's what she needs to do and nine other democrats in red states. trump needs to be talking to them more. the democrats have completely and utterly gamed the republicans and that's the frustration with mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. they have the numbers. they can't get it done. tax reform is more likely numbers wise because they all want to tax cut for individuals and corporate rate. then you have president trump talking about a 15% rate when paul ryan's has a 25% rate is reasonable. i think you are continuing to see that donald trump has no interest in bein

. >> my question is, i haven't heard much about the democratic menendez, his trial going on and i hear harry reid is implicated, how will that affect congress? >> guest: the menendez trial starts tomorrow. menendez is a democrat from new jersey accused of corruption and getting gifts in exchange for legislative flavors. menendez says he is not guilty, however, he will need to be at that trial. he requested to be in washington during the trial and the judge said no you'll be at the trial. that could factor and if there" this month because menendez is not going to be casting many votes, if any this month. they'll be one to watch. democrats are concerned about that stealing headlines this a month when republicans are trying to move stuff. that is something to watch over the next several weeks. asi i know the republican national committee has put out press releases say if menendez is convicted he should step aside because chris christie would appoint his replacement. a lot of politics possibly, but we shall see if he's convicted or not. >> host: and the hill newspapers covering that trial as well.bli

. >> let me just say this, if harry reid was still running the democrats -- which, thank goodness, he'se only had 51 or 52 votes, he'd get through what he wanted to get through. lou: yeah. >> that ought to be the role model. lou: what's it going to take? i'm hooking for the magic solution. >> well, you've got a very powerful president in his ability to go out and communicate the country. i think they're running a superb operation, like the dinner at no time -- lou: the white house. >> they're not getting full credit for it, but his going out and campaigning in 13 states concern. lou: can he get mcconnell out of the leadership position? >> if he decides to try and do it, i think he can. certainly, he's got a wife in the administration, so he can certainly put pressure there too. lou: referring to the secretary of transportation, elaine chao. thank you so much, ed rollins. >> thank you. lou: as tax reform languishes and as the president prepares to go full tilt supporting it, well, obamacare remains unrepealed, unreplaced, and you probably also might have missed one thing congress did fin

your boss, harry reid, when he was the democratic leader in the senate, i don't think he ever had as easy a meeting in the oval office as that. >> no, he never did. these negotiations usually go on for weeks if not months, and, you know, this meeting today was supposed to be the opening salvo of what was going to be a long series of meetings where each side would pressure each other. but, you know, i must have missed the part in "the art of the deal" where trump said to take your opponent's first offer because that's what happened today, and i've never seen anything like it. >> here's how breitbart greeted the deal today. here's their headline. meet the swamp. trump sides with democrats after leadership confab. jacks up debt, punts agenda, snubs gop. david, jacks up the debt, that of course refers to raising the debt ceiling, which is something congress has to do based on what the spending congress has already authorized. but punts agenda. this really could just knock the whole republican congressional agenda completely out of whack. >> yeah, they have a lot they need to get done ove

congresswoman stuffany murphy, democrat from central florida, she was there. congressman tom reid, republican from up state new york, he was there. an area we affectionately refer to as the southern tier. congresswoman, beginning with you, why do you think you were invited to the white house today? >> well, i've always said that i am committed to working on behalf of my constituents in central florida to get this done. so that's the way i'm operating in congress. and i'm really looking for ways to advance the agenda on behalf of the american people. so i think that's the reputation that led to my being invited today. >> congressman, reid, if indeed the president has backtracked on daca, which is part of the story a people are fussing and fighting over tonight, isn't there just going to be holeole hell to pay in your party. >> i don't know about holeo hell, but i will tell you from the meeting today and being the chair of the washington caucus, i was so pleased. what we had in that room were pragmatic government members. i applaud stephanie for being there, taking that leadership r

to joy reid, you know, in the trump era, you know what it's bad to be? a democrat. also bad to be a member of ms13 or isis or someone that works for cnn. >> greg: are you comparing her to isis? i want to make sure you're not. >> jesse: no, i'm saying those things right now are not good things to be in the trump era. >> greg: i would argue it's a good -- it's a good economic model. you're seeing the success and look, there's certain people that did really well being hyper critical of obama. i don't know -- i can't think of them off hand. but -- >> dana: also, everyone in media is doing better financially in the era of trump. >> greg: right. >> dana: he's thriving off the fights he has with the media. good news for him is most people don't actually get their news from the mainstream media anymore. they're getting it from social media and that actually for better or worse locks down the base. i think that joy reid had this interview to do over again, that's a line that maybe she said it flippantly sort of like when there was that report that donald trump said the white
