Truly, it should be a bill of love and we can do that. if we do this properly, daca, youre not so far away from comprehensive immigration reform. if you want to take it that further step, ill take the heat. i dont care. ill take all the heat you want to give me. ill take all the heat off the democrats and republicans. my whole life has been heat. i like heat. >> he cant take the heat. andrea, time and time again that he is as thin-skinned as they come. people were mocking him yesterday to michae...

I think diane feinstein tried to make it a negotiation. >> she set up a trap and he walked into it. it was complicated for republicans because he took a position that is anathema to where republicans have stood on daca and immigration, and the impact of that was immediate. it was not something that was a delayed response by conservatives. it was immediate realtime. you saw the majority leader come up out of his seat to clarify the record for the president that this is not something that were goi...

Even without methotrexate. ask your rheumatologist about xeljanz xr. president trump appearing to take a range of contradictory positions on immigration during that nearly hour-long televised negotiation session yesterday. both democrats and republicans making their pitch to the president who found himself in a tug-of-war over a so-called clean daca bill. joining me now is democratic senator mazie horono. thank you for joining us. >> hello to you. >> the presidents photo opportunity, welcome t...

And just hours after saying that a daca bill ought to be fueled by love, the president appeared to toughen his stance. on twitter just tonight writing this, quote, as i made very clear today our country needs it security of the law on the southern border which must be a part of any daca approval. now, our friends at the atlantic described the day as ends this way, quote, there was nothing more president trump could have done to more clearly illustrate the vexing politics of the immigration debat...

That chuck and nancy moment he threw to the congress. its in their court right now. and yesterday he aided the democrats in framing and shaping the argument on daca, which is whats driving republicans nuts right now, because the democrats already figured they had an advantage going into this cycle on this issue tied to the budget and the debt and shutting down the government. >> my question is how long it lasts, to jeremys point about taking the heat. >> speaking of taking the heat, lets look at...

That could very well be brought up. >> it seems to me not much has actually changed here in terms of your positions? >> i think its changed -- i think my positions are going to be what the people in this room come up. im very much reliant on the people in this room. i have a lot of respect for the people on both sides. and my position is going to be what the people in this room come to me with. i have great confidence -- if they come to me with things im not in love with, im going to do it, beca...

If the white house had done something like this earlier, perhaps we would be much further along and they never had to rescind it in the first place. >> a lot of folks scratching their heads after those on-camera negotiations, especially some of the presidents loyalists. later the president tweeted, as i made very clear today, our country needs the security of the wall on the southern border, which must be part of any daca approval. was that made clear in the meeting to you? what did you hear? >>...

This threat. >> is the intelligence community concerned about this, j.d.? >> i think it is intelligence community has already voiced its concern about this by issuing multiple reports, so yes. i dont speak for them, but ive seen them. >> from your experience you still talk to people back in the community. >> yes, absolutely. >> thank you for joining us today. barbara mccabe, ken delanian, thank you very much. did trumps immigration meeting bring bipartisans closer to a daca deal? youre watchin...

I think this is the difference between being on the campaign trail and actually being in the oval office trying to get a deal done, and we know that they are trying to get a deal done, trying to come up with a fix for daca, which is what democrats are pushing for. they say that has to be a part of this package but then also deal with these other issues, funding for some portion of the border wall, and then, of course, the other thorny issues the president has talked about. the visa lottery progr...

You were a prop? >> i went to the meeting today knowing fully well he can take one position one day and you never know what position hell take the next day. with regard to daca, there was consensus around the table in a bipartisan way that we needed to support the daca participants. but at the same time, you know, what else are we going to need to negotiate, and i would say that after some discussion, there was a moment when i thought the president was going to go ahead and support diane feinste...
