Board with this short-term cr, the continuing resolution to keep the government funded for another week. so, complicates things up here. we will certainly hear more from this from speaker ryan, who will hold his press conference in just a few minutes. >> complicated. its that kind of status for capitol hill right now. good to see you, sunlen. thank you so much. joining me now, republican congressman leonard lance, moderate member of the tuesday group, at the center of the contract negotiations. ...

Extremely difficult. it resolves around the continuing resolution to fund our government. there needs to be a continuing resolution effective this friday. the president has done everything possible, worked extremely hard with congress to ensure that we maintain the government, keep the government open. the democrats at the last minute have come in and thrown a lot of monkey wrenches into the ability to get this done despite the president doing everything that he can to show good faith to keep it...

That is off the table. that costly wall with the pretty door is off the table for now. going back to health care. nancy pelosi is trying to make sure in the cr if there is money to fund subsidy for obamacare or aca. it is interesting, chris, yesterday, im going back to the tax reform sheet. they are still trying to deal with issues of aca. im looking at something from the tax sheet that the white house gave out. the one sheet. repeal the 3.8% obamacare tax that hits small businesses and investme...

Negotiators have been getting close to yes. it was a big thing to have the president earlier this week pull back from making the support for obamacare and the wall as sticking yes. it was sticking points that could have influenced the outcome. the negotiators from the house, senate, and both parties have been making good progress. the cr is just so they can o cross the ts and dot the is. >> i want to get your take on the mornings breaking news, the department of defense inspector general is open...

Week to allow us to dot the is, cross the ts, put in the commas where they should be, periods, exclamation marks, whatever. but keep it focused on the budget, not other extraneous ideological things that they have been using to keep the government at bay. >> what indications are you -- were late in the afternoon here on thursday, again, the deadlines tomorrow. what indications are you getting from republicans about their intentions for tomorrow? >> well, i -- the last thing i heard, we will vote...

And they have to fund the government. right now they have in one-week c.r., funding stop gap bill that looks like its going through. in terms of going against republicans right now, but for donald trump is probably not going to be an effective strategy. >> we all watched "school house rock." if you get it out of the house, its got to get to the senate. everything from the senate, theres no deal. >> this has been a very house-driven process right now. certainly youll see senate republicans want t...

Complicated in the sense that the presidents tweet and the presidents discussion revolves around the continued resolution to fund our government. there needs to be a continued resolution effective this friday. the president has done everything possible, worked extremely hard with congress to ensure that we maintain the government -- keep the government open. the democrats at the last minute have come in and thrown a lot of monkey wrenches into the ability for this to get done despite the preside...

Cetera. and then when rush limbaugh said exactly what donald trump was attributing to the fake media, that he changed his position on the wall, which he did, donald trump panicked. someone who probably looked a lot like sean spicer rushed into the president to tell him that they were losing rush on the wall. imagine the panic level in the white house. and so during a photo op when the president lately has avoided saying anything, he very deliberately went out of his way to take a question on the...

The president lately has avoided saying anything, he very deliberately went out of his way to take a question on the wall so that rush limbaugh will be able to play this to his audience tomorrow. >> wilu sign a cr to continue funding the government -- >> the wall is going to get built. i will say secretary kelly, formerly general kelly is doing an incredible job. i was with him a little while ago and he said we definitely, desperately need the wall. and were going to have the wall built. i dont ...

Different dynamic. you see a lot of the factions on capitol hill tell me, that the president, as much as he say may this or that about what he wants to happen, this is the same house, gop that speaker boehner dealt with and leadership aid struggled with over the decade and president trump despite of his personality cannot change the factual dynamics of politics. >> do you think, it sounds like what youre hearing, were not going to get a shutdown this week and theres not going to be border wall f...
