Compare it to what a cr would have done, a continuing resolution, which my colleague mentioned as an alternative and how that would have affected our key priorities as well. this is the better offer on the table and thats why were carrying it forward. >> how about a couple of what ifs. is it going to be a two-week thing because at least youre talking and making progress. is that something youre open to? how about the daca stuff? we saw what they offered up. it was a digging into daca, not extend...

In order to keep the government open and this is the best that we can possibly do at this point. >> what are they telling you about the chance to get the votes? any trouble on your side? the other side? >> were going to have a conversation in the morning and well walk through this dynamic and so our job is to make the case and to tell folks exactly what is in this and exactly compare it to what a cr would have done, a continuing resolution which my colleague mentioned as an alternative and how t...

Building the wall and keeping the government open. we have a bipartisan congressional committee, they have agreed to allocate a whopping oh, $1.375 billion for new border wall construction, that pales in comparison to the presidents request for a $5.7 billion, but funding approximately 55 miles of new wall, construction on a border that is 2,000 miles long. we havent seen the language, nor has the white house, sources telling me it is still being worked out. but if democrats going to put a lot o...

Be to in to follow their lead. >> you think about the freedom caucus chairman, those voices on the right, they could be in the republican presidency. and they know the president is lierkly going to sign the deal but theres a chance they worry he could sign a cra continuing resolution that doesnt appropriate anything that just keeps the government open. and that could happen if the right puts that kind of pressure on 4i78. at this point i think the white house wants to move away and have a deal b...

Where we need to be. it does not even address priorities border control agents and chiefs have outlined for us and while we can applaud their efforts and know that they were serious at negotiating democrats failed to offer a real compromise tonight so it is not adequate. it is not something that will be received well by most republicans in the house for sure. shannon: of it comes down to voting for the are facing another government shutdown where does your vote go? >> my vote goes for continuing...
