>> i cant say what is going to happen. mick can answer how the shutdown looks. the deal is lets not shut the government down. lets keep the government going. lets keeps our troops funded and get childrens health insurance. seven states will run out of money soon and have to cut off the chip program. we funded it for six years. we want to get a daca solution that is balanced and that works and everybody knows this. those talks are underway right now. i just talked to kevin mccarthy on his way to ...

That schumer walked in and presented a list of demands on a number of different domestic topics, not just daca but going well beyond that. the president sort of talked to him about it for a while and said, you know, youre not going to get all of that into a continuing resolution. im told that schumer was open to the idea, possibly open to the idea of a five-day continuing resolution. so theres your gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today. the white house still insisting on a 30-day spending...

Preferred 30 days. but privately they are saying that five days is absolutely a nonstarter with the white house. that said, the white house seems to be a little more optimistic tonight than it was earlier today, now putting the chances at greater than 50%. with the prospect of his first government shutdown looming, president trump dispatched his budget director to start making plans for the worst. >> and b is preparing for what we are calling a shutdown. >> the nickname schumer shutdown is an ef...

These politicians pull us into the silly drama and everybody with the countdown clock, its ridiculous. im sick of it. >> kimberly: youre going to be great for ratings today. >> greg: if this happened in a regular company -- it would never happen in the private sector. only happens with these guys. >> dana: i saw the republican saying that every democrat senator who is running for reelection in a red state, they should have ads run against him this week and that say "you are choosing illegal immi...

Congressman luis gutierrez bluntly said we want a clean dream act in return for funding the government. in other words, just give them amnesty. just a week ago "the washington post" was totally unambiguous on this question. quote: the thorniest issue they said holding up funding agreement is democrats demand daca recipients be protected. everyone knew that no one denied it. and yet oddly with the shut down imnegligent, democrats are abruptly changing their story. the issue they say now is health...

Down will be devastating to our military. something the dems care very little about. now, its important to remember that even if lawmakers are able to reach a deal, this is only a short-term spending bill. meaning well be right back here in just a few weeks facing another government shut down as congress tries to pass a long-term funding bill for the fifth time in the last year. steve: thats the way things work now. ainsley: we are all used to it, garrett. thanks so much. steve: unfortunately. b...

Continue to do so. >> we dont know how much headway the president will be able to make on the phones today. what we saw a second ago is two-fold exercise really. an exercise to save the dem -- shift the blame to the democrats because the obama administration very effectively the last time put the blame on republicans. its to say were not responsible for this. it is also to try to shame the democrats into coming on board and supporting this continuing resolution. the bottom line for the white hou...

For more, were joined by frank thorp. the senate opens for business at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. what happens then? >> well figure out who blinks first, to be honest. were in a situation senate democrats hope to bring republicans to the table, hoping to bring president trump to the table to negotiate something on daca but this is something senator mcconnell said repeatedly doesnt need to be addressed until march. senat senator mcelderconnell doesnt believe that. we expected a vote tonight, that this ...
