Elise Jordan: If We’re Looking for Any Kind of Fiscal Restraint, We Aren’t Going to See It from This President

SCARBOROUGH today because he ░░░░░░░░ t understand it But ░░░░░░░░ I ve been saying ░░░░░░░░ the very beginning this ░░░░░░░░ about arithmetic You ve ░░░░░░░░ to get to 50 ░░░░░░░░ in the Senate you ░░░░░░░░ got to get 218 ░░░░░░░░ votes in the House ░░░░░░░░ Representatives If you have ░░░░░░░░ Freedom Caucus and you ░░░░░░░░ members in the Senate ░░░░░░░░ the Republican side that ░░░░░░░░ t get you there ░░░░░░░░ got to go work ░░░░░░░░ Democrats This does not ░░░░░░░░ that hard JORDAN But ░░░░░░░░ my question for you ░░░░░░░░ are there actually going ░░░░░░░░ be spending cuts When ░░░░░░░░ we going to stop ░░░░░░░░ train and just stop ░░░░░░░░ to 20 trillion of ░░░░░░░░ It seems like it ░░░░░░░░ have been helpful to ░░░░░░░░ a debate about the ░░░░░░░░ and about spending cuts ░░░░░░░░ month but it s ░░░░░░░░ not going to happen ░░░░░░░░ if we re looking ░░░░░░░░ any kind of fiscal ░░░░░░░░ we certainly aren t ░░░░░░░░ to see it from ░░░░░░░░ president BRZEZINSKI He s ░░░░░░░░ Democrat SCARBOROUGH Well you ░░░░░░░░ not going to see ░░░░░░░░ from this president Nobody ░░░░░░░░ expected that was going ░░░░░░░░ happen Elise but also ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ it while the United ░░░░░░░░ endures two 1 000 ░░░░░░░░ floods in a 24 ░░░░░░░░ in a two week ░░░░░░░░ period BRZEZINSKI Yeah SCARBOROUGH ░░░░░░░░ mean the money that ░░░░░░░░ required for taxes the ░░░░░░░░ that s going to ░░░░░░░░ required for Florida I ░░░░░░░░ I ve been part ░░░░░░░░ those processes It gets ░░░░░░░░ ugly really fast if ░░░░░░░░ don t get them ░░░░░░░░ of the way They ░░░░░░░░ to get Harvey out ░░░░░░░░ the way because here ░░░░░░░░ Irma JORDAN But it ░░░░░░░░ like they could have ░░░░░░░░ the Harvey funding out ░░░░░░░░ the way without necessarily ░░░░░░░░ the budget making this ░░░░░░░░ more difficult come December ░░░░░░░░ I feel like Republicans ░░░░░░░░ going to be put ░░░░░░░░ a really bad position ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ to capitulate to a ░░░░░░░░ budget than they otherwise ░░░░░░░░ could have had So ░░░░░░░░ the Freedom Caucus might ░░░░░░░░ frustrating I think that ░░░░░░░░ fiscal restraint that they ░░░░░░░░ calling for is important ░░░░░░░░ it s something that ░░░░░░░░ important to national security.”
