He should not have said that last year. it was reckless. >> martha: why is it not reckless now? republicans dont want a shutdown and you say it would be reckless? >> i said the ball is in the republicans court to avoid a shutdown. >> martha: the house passed the bill, right? this continuing resolution including the chip program. the white house said they would sign that bill. >> its within the republican leaderships ability right now -- >> martha: if they add opioids? >> to do their job is what ...

You are saying and what were hearing from stenny hoyer, he says were at the table and we want a conversation. where is that getting lost? >> well they have been at the table and weve been at the table and those negotiations have actually been going okay. weerp ee closer today than we were before. we cant shut the government down that, doesnt do anything to move the negotiations forward. theyre unrelated topics to tie them together. this is a problem. we need to fund the government. our military ...

Trajectory as we were watching it play out, shannon, clearly, you had a glimmer of hope, maybe, around 5:30 or so. let me take to you twitter. give the folks at home an idea of what we were sort of experiencing with the president as he took to twitter. you may call he had the meeting with chuck schumer, president said it was an excellent meeting saying the following. excellent meeting with chuck schumer. then we noticed a few hours later that he began to say what youve been saying for the most p...

We funded chip, we reauthorized chip in november. we sent it to the senate, the senate hasnt done anything with it. we passed it in december, stand-alone, senate hasnt done it. we added it to the continuing resolution, states like ohio where i live are starting to run out of money and this is a compassionate thing to do to add to it the funding bill. theres nothing in the funding bill that democrats disafree with. theyre -- disagree with. theyre putting politics ahead of paying our troops and re...

Opioids, i didnt hear him mention the kitchen sink but it was a long list. >> schumer, the architecture of shutdown is making up excuses, its clear that the republicans in good faith and those democrats who have supported the short-term spending bill has what the democrats need, we are talking about the reauthorization of the chip program and other components that are critical and its something that the democrats should be supporting, i mean, thats the deal that could work, thats the deal that t...

Senate you need 50 votes to break a bill buster. -- filibuster. thats why its called the schumer shutdown. it includes funding for the chip program which they said they wanted badly. dont believe that the democrats care about daca or the dreamers. they dont want a daca solution. they want to run on this in 2018 and use it as a political weapon for mid-term elections. democrats are praying this shutdown drags on for as long as possible because they want to stop the trump economy which is not goin...

Not both. in that situation, did democrats do the right thing in holding out and refusing to negotiate? >> well, there are a couple of different ways you can look at this. first off, the example you just gave me was more of sophies choice than it was a hostage standoff. using the analogy of a hostage standoff, what we are seeing here is when you have a hostage takeover, a criminal hostage takeover, he just need a concession. his concession he need and he needs it as expediently as possible is th...

People to sign. go to sherrodbrown.com, a petition, send to mitch mcconnell, negotiate for a couple more days. come to the floor that wont shut the government down. mitch mcconnell can do that, but he chooses not to, to play politics. >> that seems the play from schumer and the democratic caucus. lets do something for three or four days, keep negotiating in good faith. i want to go to the c.h.i.p. issue. you did raise this with senator hatchback in november, about c.h.i.p. i want to play that so...

Including government spending levels, daca, border security, childrens health care, the c.h.i.p. program, disaster aid, the list goes on and on. but with regard to daca, which seems to be the issue that is the focal point of much of this, could democrats have gone a different route to getting daca resolved? >> you know, its really hard to see how we could go a different route, because the president created an artificial crisis by rescinding daca and basically saying in march, you know, all of th...

Campaigned so much in his alabama senate bid on the importance of the chip program. the house passed bill does include six years of funding for the childrens health insurance program. it was put up there as a way to lure more democratic votes. in the end it looked like standing firm on the immigration issue and other issues that were kind of part of this global issue dealing with the spending caps was more of a priority for democrats. >> lets take a look at the republican list. poor tim alberta ...
