Meeting about daca where there were senators from both sides of the aisle, i have no reason to believe there isnt communication going on. >> here is the thing though, right, the speaker supports this plan being put forward for the temporary funding and continuing resolution that involves a six-year extension of the childrens health insurance program, correct, which is something that some democrats might like, might actually be inclined to vote yes just to get the extension. im sure you support t...

Operations will still be done. it is not going to be affected in real practical terms by a shutdown. that said, it continues to be harmed and i think in a very significant severe way by these continuing resolutions. what that means, and, again, barbara touched on this, they have to use funding from last year. they cant buy new equipment. some of the modernization and maintenance efforts will be damaged, there may be training curtailment. there is a real damage by the continuing resolution. that ...

Vote no, too. >> theres all kinds of legitimate reasons to be against the short-term continuing resolution resolutions. this is a completely dysfunctional broken appropriations process. but now we are facing this reality and i dont like playing shutdown politics, i dont like playing this gamesmanship. >> theres a relatively simple way of guaranteeing not just 60, but maybe 70, 80 votes in the senate if you attach what lindsey graham, dick durbin have put forward, a compromise that would allow hu...

We have to make sure the government remains open. >> let me ask you about what kind of partner you think you have in the government and the white house now? "the washington post" tweeted this, lindsey graham said this, we dont have a reliable partner at the white house to negotiate with. lindsey graham wont vote for a continuing resolution without daca included. despite that difference you have in ideology here, he says there is not a reliable partner for republicans in the white house to negoti...

Republican side they were about to jam the democrats and get them to vote potentially vote against childrens health care. i mean, just looking at the raw politics here, what the president did is he also undermined them politically and not only in order to keep the government open. but at the same time, hes also saying he doesnt want a shutdown. so you can forgive mitch mcconnell for being confused and throwing up his hands in that clip there. >> so simone sanders, who used to work for bernie san...

23 hours. >> reporter: we need that time. a tale of two chambers. the house republicans seem increasingly confident that they have the votes they need to pass this one-month continuing resolution with republican votes alone, if necessary. they seem to think that they could get this done tonight and throw things over to the senate. there it is a very different story. we have increasing amount of democrats and a handful of republicans who say they are not going to vote for another c.r. whether bec...

Nbc news correspondent peter alexander. to pick up exactly on what he was saying. president trump tells reuters a government shutdown could happen. he responded to comments by his own chief of staff. undercutting it seems because its what john kelly said, to undercut the presidents pledge to build a wall. now the president is cutting off his own chief of staff. i mean, to garretts point, here you have a situation where the right hand doesnt seem to know what the left hand is doing. >> thats exac...

That the measure will not pass with just gop votes. democrats face their own tough choices, many of them coming out against stopgap funding without a long-term fix for daca. some democrats, especially those facing tough races in the fall, worry about a shutdown over d.r.e.a.m.ers if theres no real agreement in sight. >> white house chief of staff john kelly meets with the congressional hispanic caucus later today. from capitol hill, phil mattingly with more on the search for a funding deal. >> r...

Some democrats, especially ones facing those tough races in the fall, worry about taking the blame for a shutdown while fighting for d.r.e.a.m.ers if theres no real agreement in sight. >> on that front, white house chief of staff john kelly meets with the congressional hispanic caucus later today. from capitol hill, phil mattingly with more on the search for a funding deal. >> reporter: were basically at the point now of waiting. waiting to see whats going to happen in the house, waiting to see ...

In a -- a.b. and i will be here in a months time. the dynamic remains the same. at some point democrat also have to decide if they cant cut a deal on daca, are they willing to withhold enough votes to keep too close to the government and that republicans cant get enough from the house freedom caucus? but the dynamic isnt changing. dick blumenthal was just on with you guys. this is the fourth -- if it passes, its the fourth short-term continuing resolution to keep the government open in six month...
