State of the union is a time when people come together and i think this shows a real lack of tolerance. steve: no kidding. brian: that number will grow but i dont think its going to be a big story by the time it comes up. especially if they can get a deal funding the government. at least a two week cr to postpone. maybe the heads are too hot right now and maybe disagree to fund the government for two more weeks and go back to negotiating. steve: stay tuned. 6:11 in new york city on this martin l...

Something racist, this element of the debate, whether it is fair or not, now that its been injected into the conversation poisons the well and lessens the incentive for democrats to come on board. >> harris: and when we head into friday you cover these things before, are we are already starting to see some time that there will be a continuing resolution, that there will be a government shutdown? you were there at capitol hill, what did you see? >> speaker ryan has indicated this is something we ...

Its not fair and its not right and its not just to do otherwise. i for one will not vote for government funding until we get a deal on daca. >> harris: the president is warning that any shutdown could hurt the military, you just heard congresswoman mick sally making a very strong case for that, saying she has been telling democrats herself. when you hear john lewis talk like this, coupled with the fact that hes going to boycott the state of the union, what is your reporting telling us? >> these ...

Is an indication they would play ball a two week a cr. lost thing this country needs is a government shut down. steve: wall only 10% of the funding in the wall in the senate thing so he had to say no. brian: wouldnt it be great if the president came out and said i have to clarify something. i think dick durbin portrayed me incorrectly. i want to clarify. i want to say i have nothing against the people in those countries. i have problems with the governments in those countries and part of picking...

Gives the president a big lead and also getting daca advanced. why not close that deal as opposed to endanger it right before the cr expires when its in the interest of the democrats to show a dysfunctional white house? >> chris, the votes are there. if we are looking at a bipartisan bill, the votes are there. there are enough democrats and republicans who will come together on this bill and support a daca fix whether its a clean daca fix or whether its a daca fix that actually has border securi...

If it walks like a racist, talks like a racist, acts like a racist, its a racist. we have a racist president in the white house who pushes his racism like a peacock. its clear how he feels about immigration. he puts basically a sign on the statue of liberty saying whites only. no one else need to apply. its troubling, and i really throw this to the republicans out there on the hill, what are you going to do? are you really going to continue to embrace all this racism policies that the president ...

Pass a short term spending bill that means that government will be able to pay its troops but the pentagon says it needs to plan for the long-term. >> the longer a cr goes the more damage it does. the president has already signed the national defense authorization act and it was passed by both houses overwhelmingly. so we need the $700 billion and lives. last year this nation lost 17 sailors aboard the uss john mccain and uss fitzgerald. running into short false were serious factors in the serio...

Leverage and threat and can speaker paul ryan get 218 members with no democratic support on a short-term cr. you dont know where things will end up next week. >> you hear a lot of people saying the president has taken several positions on this and we need more time. this is a cop out. this is more of a conservative thing. they take away the leverage and get a tougher bill that is more to the conservativess liking? >> whatever the president gets behind or tries to push forward on is likely whats ...

Report, i will let you know. go ahead. i usually dont do that, but go ahead. he just used it up. >> you talk about the need to fund the military. if you are going do another cr next week, isnt that having it both ways? >> i would be right about that, but we had to have a cap agreement in order to give the a appropriators what they needed to write the bill. >> part one. >> if the special counsel requests an interview with the president, you always said that part two, you have always said that adm...

But go ahead. he just used it up. >> you talk about the need to fund the military. if you are going to do another c.r. next week, isnt that kind of having it both ways because nothing effects the military more adversely. >> i think you are right about that we have to have a cap agreement in order to fund the military in order to give the appropriate. >> part one. >> is everyone going to use two parters for the year? just saying. >> request an interview with the president. >> im not going to go t...
