Florida, not help puerto rico or the fires in california? those are things we have to do because our fellow citizens in these disaster-ravaged areas need assistance. that is a proper role for the federal government. a lot of that spending is one-time spending. the other domestic spending is something we all agree on. we have an opioids crisis in america. lets get on with fixing it. we think we can get pretty darn close on cancer research and getting some cures. lets keep that going. we all know ...

Policy should be and then we see where 60 votes would take us. whether it adds something to it or detracts from it. again, i think that theres no question that the senate will have an immigration depwaeurbgt assuming we pass the cr. dip want to run some polling by you. quinipiac out with a poll asking, do you approve or disapprove of the republican tax plan? up to 39%, you can see steadily growing from december it was back at 26%. is that reflective of what youre hearing from constituents in kan...

Those plans were change. so its nancy pelosi versus her caucus to see if they join the republicans and pass this. >> shepard: the far right, the conservatives, the freedom caucus, that bunch has different concerns. >> yes. theyre concerned about the debt limit. >> shepard: they think we spend too much and spending is going way up. >> yes. youll see possibly upwards of a third of the house of republicans conference voting against this. the spending cap deal on the six-week c.r. >> shepard: sounds...

Guiterrez. yesterday he said senate democrats melted like a candle in the heat, and now hes colluding from trump. they went from melting to collusion. >> right. so this is -- this is driven in part by the pressure she feels to hold firm and not to go forward with the caps deal without a commitment on a vote. chuck schumer got the commitment to move forward and he could bank that and move forward, if she doesnt get anything it is a tough situation for her. and as congressman guiterrez pointed out...

Tremendous pressure on paul ryan who keeps hiding behind donald trump that well put something on the floor that this president supports. well, he supports defense spending. the only way they get defense spending is if they bring democrat with them. >> it seems likely to pass -- >> they are now passing it first. the -- the house was going to pass it and then it was delayed. >> it is complicated because they have to do a c.r. before that but when it comes to the house, nancy pelosi will make a dif...

Is, the government still has to be funded beyond thursday. so whats probably going to happen is youre going to see the outlines of that deal attached to another one of these short-term crs. another continuing resolution to fund the government through late march, which gives howmakers time to actually write out a bill that can do all of the things that are set out in this agreement. now the question about a shutdown here is essentially two parts. you had the comments from the president yesterday ...

Schumer and leaders handled it. so he could possibly be blamed. weve seen him use this language before about, a year ago. this whole idea of maybe it is time for a good shutdown. certainly it throws a wrench into the plans in terms of what they want to see on capitol hill. weve talked about an extension of the cr of a couple of weeks or months. this is the president theyve been dealing with. kind of unpredictable in terms of what he wants to see. >> an unusual day in washington in that somebody ...

Really, the major impediment for this not to go through the senate would be a number we would agree to what they would call the non-funding side of the government. those numbers have pretty much been in place the last six or seven months. the big holdup has been an agreement on immigration, as you well know. were hopeful well go ahead and attach those numbers to this, fund the military, not hold it hostage and allow it to come back and have a fairly easy bipartisan vote here in the house. that b...

My question. as is the continuing resolution going to pass in the house or the senate in your opinion? you just heard congresswoman blackburn, she thinks it could. what do you say? >> i think the house will pass a cr with the military funding and a couple of other issues that are important. i think the senate is going to take out the defense, paying it back to the house and i think youll get democrats and republicans coming up to support it. hopefully well get some caps. >> harris: can you do it...

Nobody wants another. again, shep, nobody is talking about a shut down and nobody is talking about attaching daca to the c.r. im puzzled to what that is about. >> shepard: the president is, theres that. john roberts, thank you. look at the tv. look at this. the dow is up 500 points. how? why? i dont have any idea. i do know this morning, got up at like 5:30 because the overnight markets and you knew everything was crazy and footsy and everything. wow, look, look. got up at 5:30, the world was co...
