Welcome back to "velshi & ruhle." moments ago republican who say met with president trump at the white house said that he will not sign the legislation that overwhelmingly passed the senate to keep the government open until february. joining me now to share his thoughts is a member of the house intelligence committee, congressman will hurd of texas. congressman hurd, thanks for being here. i wanted to talk to you about other things and we possibly still can about syria because youve got a backgr...

Jobs, especially for our president as well. we had a great discussion with him there. the president said what the -- what the senate sent over is just kicking the ball -- kicking the can down the road. we want to solve this problem. we want to make sure we keep the government open and well work to have that done and get something to happen. >> okay. well, that wasnt as much as we were hoping for. we thought they might have some announcement about how theyre getting to a deal. the problem with wh...

Thats a technical hold up on this bill, but most here on capitol hill believe that ultimately the bill will get passed. the government will stay open through the christmas holiday, and into the new year. all the key players seem to be on board with that idea of passing a clean, continuing resolution. of course, that means that the presidents key holding point, the thing that was holding up this process, funding for the border wall, will not be a part of this package. the president conceded that ...

>> so youre saying we are going to rely on iran in part? >> i didnt say that. i said there are other countries in the middle east fighting isis along with the united states. >> i want to move on to the budget debate. that is atop your agenda. a short term continuing resolution is coming here. not clear whether -- it looks like the president is not going to get his $5 billion for the wall. you have said the wall is necessary. do you believe the president has let you down on this? >> no. i think i...

Deadline, one appeared. essentially a $1.6 billion in border security with an additional billion-dollar fund the administration could use for its immigration priorities. wolf, its worth noting. democratic leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer met behind closed doors and rejected this proposal. that said, it was considered an important step forward, because people were finally talking. now, the big question now is, what are the next steps? what im being told by sources, the most likely scenario,...

Problems were the dreamers. people went to work on capitol hill. we got a bipartisan agreement. it got over 55 votes but didnt get to the magic number of 60 largely because after asking congress to come up with the bipartisan agreement, the president pulled the rug out of that proposal. he want to resolve this issue, not shut down the government. one way to do it is to have a short term continuing resolution. its not my preferred result. >> neil: but keeps the light on. >> doesnt shut down the g...

Present. >> bill: the deadline to avoid the shutdown is a few days away. where do we stand? >> looked like there was movement yesterday on a potential deal but it seemed to come to a halt at 5:00 yesterday. there is a continuing resolution out there which would fund border security at a level of 1.6 billion. we understand some democrats have agreed its something they could sign onto and there seems to be an increasing desire by some republicans to sign on to a long-term continuing resolution. bu...

Arthel: lets bring in francesca chambers. a correspondent for the "daily mail." >> i dont think the president is getting a big bag of $5 billion for the border wall this christmas. arthel: is the shutdown imminent or what will wait off? >> the white house is shopping a potential short-term continuing resolution which would push off this debate until early next year. the only problem with that is he currently has leverage because the republicans control the house of representatives. early next ye...

Colleague got this great reporting about what nancy pelosi says shes prepared to offer donald trump. were also to go into the policy wonk weeds here which i know you love. >> im always into that. go ahead. >> apparently shes willing to offer six appropriation bills, and then a year-long cr, continuing resolution, thats a temporary government funding measure for homeland security funding. if the president doesnt want that, then she would agree to offer a year-long cr for all seven bills but they ...

Government? >> maria, we have funded the defense department. that is funded through the full year. we have a large part of the government, including homeland security thats only funded through friday. so, we expect were going to pass another short-term continuing resolution. look, we worked out a compromise on this issue giving border security funds to the president. no, we should not be approving a wall. we shouldnt go forward with border security that we already have a bipartisan agreement on....
