Shockingly, but coincidentally, every member of the house and the senate is still in town this weekend. many hoped to have been back in their districts, but instead waiting for a be po-- possible vote to reopen the government. as always, thank you. quickly, your reaction as the shutdown continues? im guessing you pretty much agree with the republican theory were not going to negotiate daca as long as the government is shut down. >> this is what nancy pelosi called in 2013, arson, and with good f...

And here at the white house were told that president trump is working the phones, trying to find some kind of deal, although they are coy about who he is talking to, whether its people on both sides of the aisle or just republicans, and with that, we bring in republican senator cory gardner from the great state of colorado. good to see you, sir. >> good afternoon, leland. >> you look awfully good without so many sleep. >> im one of the younger ones in the senate. leland: you are one of the young...

In a volcanic meeting at the white house. the same script played out with myself and the president yesterday. the president called me in the morning and asked that i come to the white house and of course, i accepted. we had an extensive and serious negotiation about every single outstanding issue. we came close to a tentative agreement on the budget after i offered the pentagon request on the thorniest issue of immigration the president said many times he would take a deal that included daca in ...

Something that is extremely harmful to the military right now. >> training for reserves have to stop, guardsmen have been sent back home. a number of states are going to run out of money for childrens health insurance and all of this, all of this is completely unnecessary. but senate democrats believe that none of it is too high a price to pay for appeasing their political base. >> mitch mcconnell last night started talking about a three-week long resolution to fund the government and the house ...

Good faith -- leland: that was the president himself in 2011. >> here is the deal leland, the president brought schumer to the white house yesterday. they were -- they talked it through, the president listened to schumer, schumer has unrealistic expectations, we have a short-term bill that works, schumer clearly understands and many democrats understand that including daca in the short-term spending bill is incredibly problematic, the daca deal is a complicated issue, they need to keep working o...

Up with a resolution for the dreamers. so why the emphasis this has got to get solved now today? i think that is at the heart of the republican claim that you guys are holding the federal government hostage. >> first of all, finger pointing is not going to solve the problem and theres an awful lot of that going around and i hesitate to do more than what ive done which is finger pointing. but the reality is the daca issue is important, as is the funding for health care centers, i know that there ...

Its hurting millions of americans who have done absolutely nothing to deserve this. so, i would invite all of my colleagues across the aisle to join together and do what is obviously responsible and right for the people we represent. its pretty clear here. lets reopen the government, lets resume the bipartisan discussion on funding our troops, daca, on government spending, and on all the other priorities that all of us can work together to resolve. >> that was the senate majority leader. he says...

American people closing the wallets to the president and the gop? >> that was a remarkable exhibition of a deep-held delusion on the part of senator schumer. i mean, every since this mans election -- trumps election a year ago democrats have been telling themselves that he wasnt their president. he was forcibly campaigning on border security. the democrats have you believe that the problem is daca. its just a symptom of broader problem which is failed immigration policy. i dont think anyone will...

Descended on washington, d.c. doubled down on the president, he said that for the one-year anniversary, president trump has had his government closed its doors to the american people. so scathing words from the senate minority leader for the president. so hes certainly not backing down either on the political side or on the side of the spending bill. leland: or on the personal side, gillian, with the name-calling, the minority speaker spoke a lot about hearing deals being floated around capitol ...

>> joe, it may not be a tenable position among republicans, republicans love that taking point and even independents in their polls say its not worth shutting down the government over daca, but we have live pictures right now of the womans march, this is looking from the lincoln memorial back towards the washington monument across the reflecting pool there, thousands of people coming out and many of whom with signs talking about immigrants. this is something that is much more about principle tha...
