Page 714 - Cr News Today

Week in january. then we were told maybe next week. now we understand the president may sign the bill as soon as tomorrow with the following caveat. congress has to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government running, plus that continuing resolution needs to include waivers to prevent cuts to entitlements because of tax reform. the president is pointing fingers at house democrats accusing them of wanting to hold up funding. in a tweet saying, quote, house democrats want a shutdown for th...

House republicans, dont let this happen. pass the cr today and keep our government open. but democrats that weve heard from this morning are feeling left out. >> we think we need to deal with the ba and fisa. we need to deal with them in a constructive, bipartisan way. if we dont, dont look to us for help because we arent included. were shut out. as the tax bill. >> bill: something democrats arent getting, a deal for daca by the end of the year. republicans are offering to work on a legislativ...

In order to distract from a very popular, just passed tax cuts. house republicans dont let this happen. pass the cr today and keep our government open. so lets ask one of those democrats what he thinks. house minority whip steny hoyer is with me. the president says it is your fault that you and other democrats want a government shutdown. do you? >> thats absurd. the only president -- i mean the only person who has talked about shutting down the government in the last four months has been preside...

Everything they do for our wounded servicemen and women. but to jeff zeleny we go, our senior white house correspondent, you can hear them shouting questions, the press, a big day, and still cr tomorrow. pretty short and sweet. >> it was, brooke. we tried to ask questions about the u.n. about so many things this white house is facing. and the president heard them all, of course, but he makes the decision when he answers them and does not. one thing we are still waiting to hear is there ha year e...

Theyre waiting to see what gets over to them. this is not like the reconciliation bills weve been talking about. they have to have some democratic support even for this vanilla super bland ice cream flavor of a bill to keep the government open. the house is the most interesting on all of this. thats where you see the stress infrastructu fractures here. republicans are probably going to have to produce all these votes by themselves to pass something. there are a lot of conservatives who dont like...

Distract from the popular just passed tax cuts. the president went on to say house republicans, dont let this happen. pass the cr to keep our government open. that means continuing resolution. that keeps the government open instead of passing a budget. it would be cosmic if a government shut down happens. dont mistake it as an bipart saj wish of how to do that. across the aisle between democrats and republicans and the conference. just a few of the unresolved issues, they want to shore up obamac...

To laurens point, they promised they would pass budgets like they used to. they havent passed a budget like its supposed to work since bill clinton was president. that will care over to 2018. a deficit question and obamacare fixes question. in a year in which republicans are trying to protect the majorities and you see the beginnings of a democratic wave because of the presidents unpopularity. huh? >> it says that donald trump is right on the politics. a shut down will be terrible. it would be t...

About that again, whos this tweet for? >> reporter: well, house democrats do not want to shut down the government. this is a tweet designed to allow people in the freedom caucus, conservatives, folks who might push back against this cr to vote for it instead and call it a win. to say, look, were standing with the president. were voting for this cr so we can stand with the president. it is designed to allow conservatives to take a vote they dont like, call it a win, and get on a plane. >> garrett...

>> the fact is the program has money in it, as we all know. as the wonderful mother of that little girl said, her program hasnt been cut off. why? because there is money in there to continue to provide subsidies and support for the chip program. so with all due respect, this is a chess match and a lot of pieces on the chess board. but let me a sure you this is the most popular health care care program that both democrats and republicans support. so i would say to the mother on the show, you have...

Really negotiations happening right now between republicans and democrats in the senate and white house. which may bear fruit shortly. every single week you go without a solution for the kids, i mean, more and more of them lose their ledgeability. march is not the only date that matters. every week kids lose their eligibility, that means they cant work, they cant maintain a drivers license. there are some really important negotiations happening, in a you may allow us once the c.r. expires in jan...
