Things that i am hearing from sources on capitol hill is some discussion about whether or not the cr, the continuing resolution should go through the state of the union. that is what joe manchin the west virginia democrat is saying to reporters in the hallways. i was told by administration force that this is not a white house demand. >> gloria, for what we just saw, the past government shutdowns they have lasted in weeks. real consequences for very real people especially people who live paycheck...

Working behind the scenes. do they feel theyve made any progress? >> reporter: at this point, not really. i will say one of his top deputies, mark short, the head of legislative affairs, hes been um on capitol hill talking to senators. he just came out and spoke to reporters a few moments ago and said he still feels like theres a chance they could get a vote on this c.r. tonight. as you heard from phil mattingly, it is becoming exceedingly unlikely theyre going to have the votes to get that hous...

Protections in the grand durbin compromise. it was a generous offer. and i believe president trump was inclined to accept it and was willing to do a very short-term cr. he suggested tuesday night in order to get the deal finalized. hours later, i got a phone call telling me this is not good enough. first from the president saying i hear its three weeks. i said no one told me about that. thats not what we discussed. and then a few hours later, well, we want what youve offered and four or five mor...

Against the law because they dont have the authority or the resources to pay them with. so it has been a lot more confusing than in the past as to what is going to be essential, nonessential, and who is supposed to work and who is supposed to go home. >> just cant imagine the burden for people who work paycheck to paycheck. >> we heard pick mumick mulvane national parks will be open, but the trash wont be picked up. would your suggestion be to just shut them down until there is funding for the g...

Whats not in the c.r. >> doug. >> think the problem that president trump has is when he called it a bill of love and it seemed like he was going to get this done. then suddenly he abandoned that because ann coulter was mean to him and sean hannity was mean to him. >> it did seem like he didnt know the detail. he was agreeing with senator feinstein and then -- >> he realizes dont break with the alt-right movement on immigration. >> well talk more about this. we got new word on a potential way o...

First year. so it is no use having another c.r. unless we have the terms of engagement on how we go forward on the parody and the pay for and the pensions, on the daca and on the border security. >> isnt it better to have the government open while you negotiate these matters on the side? have a c.r. for a few days -- or a few weeks. >> this is the fifth one. secretary of navy has said -- his comment, he said that -- well secretary matt is said, it just created unpredictability and makes us rigid...

Not consistent with what were hearing out of the white house where they say that democrats do not disagree with anything in this bill, in this cr. youre saying this is about policy. the white house is saying this is about not giving the president a victory. >> there are people in both parties that dont want the president and opposite party to have a victory. but if you think about it, clinton survived the shut downs as did the senate and house members. it is dicey, but if you look at the politic...

In that bipartisan meeting at the white house it was very clear, feinstein made it clear, that we want to address immigration, daca first. the president had i different interpretation of what she was saying but then tried to seemingly bring people together to say something is going to happen. and no matter what, i will sign anything and i will take the heat. what changed? >> well, look, i think the president is a unreliable negotiating partner. it is really hard to cut a deal because depending o...

Reopened. but at the same time, make a good faith effort and commitment that we also address the long-term budget issue that we have to do for the year, the bipartisan bicameral budget agreement. at the same time, say theyre going to sincerely allow for a vote on a bipartisan daca, border security bill that dealings with family reunification and also theres another issue too they want to deal with. theyll deal with all these issues, four issues. let them deal with them. i think well be fine. and...

Legislation. >> got a huge laugh in that meeting two tuesdays ago. >> because this is about much larger issues. and to democrats and republican, it is about in part the fact that running government can be about short term cr to short term cr to short term cr. and if you talk to against hade hawks, many democrats, that is the concern that they have. they want long term spending. the other issue that is much bigger than earmarks to democrats is daca. because you are talking about 800,000 people wh...
