Schumer today saying that negotiating with the president is like negotiating with jell-o, and how do you respond to that some. >> that is not making sense. >> he doesnt move? jiggles a little bit? >> well, the idiom does not make sense, nail the jell-o to the wall. >> and you are at a place where you can have a deal and get something done on daca and put a fork or a pause on it, and say, listen, keep the government open, and real americans, and the lives are being impacted and not just the billi...

Unsure if the president will sign it. let the republican president veto it. >> i mean if the republicans had been interested in the chip program, cooperate they have done this a while ago. >> it has been up for vote four times and the deadline is now. we know there is going to be something happening. the chip program is in there. >> but if the republcans were so concerned about the chip program, isnt it something they could have done months ago? >> if you need 60 votes and you need something in ...
