Refused to bring up priorities that would allow democrats to vote for a budget. we all understand that republicans have the majority. they did manage to pass the bill, the continuing resolution here in the house. when you get to the senate and you know that you need 60 votes and let me be clear, the continuing resolution in the senate failed also with republican votes going over to the no side because they know that this continuing resolution is not a good idea. there are very specific things th...

Three-week continuing resolution instead of four, they would do a chip bill and attack daca last month. they were open to that but paul ryan was not open to doing that in the house. i dont think democrats are going to demand that daca be dealt with tomorrow -- >> but theyd like some reassurance it will be dealt with soon. >> right. >> before they lose all their leverage. >> and obviously thats something the house is reluctant to do unless the president sends a signal hes willing to take that dea...

The white house has tried to mitiga mitigate some effects of the shut down every shut down has its own weird snowflake. one of the period things today as i was on the house side of capitol hill for the afternoon was the fact that members spent a significant amount of time in a contentious of chuck schumer. that was what your members got done. >> it was a little lord of the flieses being. the republicans have said many times, it is a tag line now that this is the schumer shutdown and its about il...

Shutdown continues going on the more both sides continue to dig in. the feeling that this has to shake loose -- something has to shake loose in the next 24 hours or as one lawmaker put it the longer this goes, the worse it gets. >> absolutely true. thanks very much. and now to president trump hes holed up at the white house as we speak. the government he was elected to lead has shut down. lots of portions of it. lets bring in our chief white house correspondent jim acosta. this isnt the way that...

They control every ounce of the process and it is their responsible to govern and here they have failed. several republicans voted against the c.r. as well as democrats for the same reason we vote against it. one of the most serious consequences of having continuing resolution after continuing resolution is the damage it does to our military. as the pentagon spokesperson says last night, another c.r. is was wasteful and destructive. becau thats the navy secretary of what you have done. this is n...

Something to come with, so the government doesnt shut down? >> you first, brian. >> i dont know, you heard phil report that mcconnell is cooking up another cynical ploy of trying to expose democratic senators from trump won states to as many show boats over the next 90 minutes as possible. maybe youll see something where he offers a three-week continuing resolution or two-week continuing resolution. let me respond to two things scott said before you went to phil. he said democrats should want to...

It can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. several republicans joined democrats in rejecting the house continuing resolution which hurts our military, does nothing for urgent domestic priorities like opoid, veterans and pensions. nothing on disaster relief. and of course nothing on the immigration issues we have a real urgency to solve. it kicked the can down the ...

Health insurance. >> youre making good points, raj, but you have to have a deal. and he did meet with schumer yesterday. and right after that meeting, the president of the united states tweeted, excellent preliminary meeting in oval with senator schumer. he went on to say making progress. so what happened? all of a sudden, he was making progress. it was an excellent meeting, and then everything collapsed. what happened? >> lets go back for a second. there are a lot of issues to hammer out for a ...

Breaking news in here, some new information we have. this is according to brian fallon. at this point its guaranteed shut down of some duration because the house would need to also pass a new deal the senate struck. so it cant happen in only 20 minutes. so we are guaranteed a government shutdown in, what, 14 minutes up on the screen. also some new information that we have here according to our folks in washington. democrats proposed a cr that would expire on january 29th, which is the day before...

>> im not sitting here ready to make dinner plans but what i think is important is that the american people need to understand that just a three-week continuing resolution is necessary. its absolutely necessary for us to reopen the government and begin negotiations on these issues. on the issue of immigration, one of those that senator schumer mentioned, if hes ready to fund the wall, thats a great step. we walked away from a bipartisan meeting just last week where we had terms to talk about fou...
