White house reaction. it all goes -- i think its -- it certainly sounded like to me dras would like to find a way not to shut down the government but not agree to the cr. right? theyre looking for to see if there is any movement there. can they make an offer that will look, will make the republicans look bad if they cant, at least agree to that or something like this. lets see what it looks like. i think ultimately, again, i think the white house has to be the lead player here. and this is the p...

Military needs to and hold the line on the non-defense spending. >> but what changed? what did paul ryan or someone give you that got you to yes last night. >> theres a commitment to begin pursuing the goodlatte-labrador immigration bill. theres a stand alone bill that would fund the military for the entire year and we talked a lot about making sure that this memo we got to read yesterday regarding what the fbi did actually becomes public so that you guys in the press can see it and more importa...

Rooted for a shutdown, frankly, is our president. >> the only people standing in the way of keeping the government open are senate democrats. >> if it comes to that, it will be the republicans responsibility. >> if the democrat senators want to shut down the government to achieve some policy, thats their choice. >> neither speaker ryan, nor leader mcconnell, seem interested in finding bipartisan solutions. >> msnbcs garrett haake is on capitol hill. all right, garrett, by the time the senate gav...

Everyone is for and theyve given the president his border request in the 2017 budget and, in fact, on that issue if he wants more money they would give it to them. thats the deal thats there to be done so hes just wrong is. >> weak on the military, whenever he wants to go after anybody, weak on the military, like anybody in this country is not pro-military. >> well, the cr is damaging the military and hes not making it easier to pass a defense appropriations bill. but hes damaging the military a...

Outside the mainstream. 80% of the american people want the daca population to have a pathway to citizenship and most people want more border security. at the end of the day, if you break it up in two tranches, youre not going to get comprehensive for republicans just for daca. defense spending which drives my train, the military is in a world of hurt, a 30-day cr only exas per rates their problem. im not going to vote for a 30-day cr to continue the chaos where we all go home and get beat up by...

>> it feels as if, and the political danger here feels like it is generally feels like republicans will take more blame nationally. trump will take more blame as this sort of the guy who was supposed to be the deal but the red state democrats could take a hit on this too. is there a way that it becomes lose-lose for everybody. >> i dont think -- i think that what weve seen in this trump era, when the democrats make principle arguments and fight back and they are -- and in my view they are on the...

What the president and his family are doing. we dont care about the sex. we do care about a lot of other things, including money that could be coming in from foreign governments, whether its the t russians or anyone else. its critical to get to the bottom of it which means piercing through the corporate shells, following the money and finding out whats going on. robert mueller will be doing that and congress should be. if they dont start investigating whats going on with the trump business empir...

White house. i think hell call up tom cotton. the senator with whom the president has the closest relationship, i believe. i think hell call up mike pompeo and talk to jim mattis. hell talk to the people he talks to routinely about big decisions. including his family members. so i dont worry about chuck schumer tying up in knots. ive talked to a number of republicans this very morning. they are not budging in the house. they arent. and donald trump wants one thing out of this, which is a wall. w...

Votes for that or for daca or for the debt ceiling. theyll toll that in there too, my prediction. >> why did you vote for the short term continuing resolution? >> the only thing worse than a cr is a government shutdown. we need this budget agreement. >> thank you very much. thank you. lets go back to garrett haake on capitol hill. this is a breaking news story. garrett? >> reporter: yeah, thats right. were expecting this meeting between the president and minority leader chuck shumer to happen an...

You think? is that as much a signal as anything else? >> yeah, absolutely. this whole fight is about -- its as much about optics and blame. frankly, thats all its about. because republicans are right when they say theres nothing in the c.r. the democrats oppose, democrats are right when they say they are kicking the can down the road yet again and dont have a deal on daca, as they said was a condition for them supporting a spending bill. really, this is posturing back and forth, which is why im ...
