Our breaking news, the federal government has shut down. senators fail to pass a deal to fund the government. 50-49, 60 is what they needed. >> i said you get the first word out of the break, bill. there you go. >> its not true donald trumps been consistent on daca. he has said before, i love the d.r.e.a.m.ers. im going to help the dreamers. two weeks ago, he told dianne feinstein he would sign a clean bill, clean daca bill. five months later he changed his mind. last week he told durbin and gra...

Under way. senators fail to pass a deal to fun the government. the vote 50 to 49. they needed 60 to pass the bill. what happens now that the government shut down? >> 850,000 government workers locked out of their offices and left out of their paychecks. thats what happened when the government shut down in 2013. and it would likely be the same this time. many services would be stopped or delayed for the public. the centers nor disease control and prevention for example back down on the flu tracki...

>> that is probably good news to you, careen juan pierre. and the graham-durbin bill, where is it, it has a path to citizenship for people eligible for the d.r.e.a.m. act. it ends this chain migration by preventing d.r.e.a.m.ers from sponsoring the parents. and it eliminated diversity visa lottery and aappropriated $2.7 billion for border security. do you believe that would pass if it were to go to the floor of the senate today. >> here is the thing. donald trump is responsible for this shutdown...

Important that i think is overlooked here, is that the daca solution ahead, i think that -- i think that michael would agree with me here, there is support among a set of republicans in congress, house and the senate and it sounds like the white house who actually agree that there should be a solution for the d.r.e.a.m.ers, if you will. so this idea that going forward that republicans are not going to work with democrats to come up with a solution, i find ludicrous. >> where is the evidence of i...

Going to do waver whatever i want. mitch mcconnell hold the supreme court hostage, what happened. i thought he could do whatever he wanted. >> under reconciliation rules he could pass a tax bill under strict party line vote. that is not possible on this spending bill. republicans voted for four more weeks of government funding. >> which means your -- you didnt even have the votes, if democrats waived the rule. i want to go to jason johnson. even if democrats had waived the rule, the 60 vote rule...

Michael steele, john boehner had a hell of a time as you well remember trying to corral congress because you had, as jen was talking about, the tea party this there making his life miserable. is there -- can you just assess, so far, the leadership that has been exhibited by the republican leadership and the white house in trying to get a government funding bill through. give them a grade. >> i think they get an a-plus. i think they offered a bill to keep the government running for 30 days. coupl...

Happened on the floor. because if you recall, the vote was open for about two hours with senators kind of fleurying about, talking in these really intense negotiations. of course we asked senators when they got off the floor what happened, what went on. and basically the outlines of this deal that hopefully will kind of start to move the ball again, people agreed instead of the four week funding resolution, lets do it three weeks. it runs out february 8th. and senator flake told us there does se...

[ overlapping speakers ] >> who controls the house of represents. >> they passed a funding bill. >> who controls the senate? >> at this point, given the filibuster rules, senator schumer is in charge of whether they pass this funding bill. >> not true. what about the four republicans who voted no. what happen -- what is their role in this. because four republicans, of your own party voted against this deal. >> they did. but it easily would have passed if senator schumer -- >> but it is their fau...

Couple of them, i have every reason to believe they did so on principle and it is the right to do so just as it is chuck schumers right to obstruct and shut the government down. >> so you are saying only one party has principles and chuck schumer is some sort of abject evil and your party, when they dont vote against their own leaders bill have principle but the democrats do not. >> no. im pretty confident i didnt say that. >> because their principle was you cant take 9 million c.h.i.p. kids hos...

Whoo! i got my money! pointless, irresponsible shutdown, funds the pointless, irresponsible on the floor of the senate -- >> -- and low income families. none of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle could point to a single thing in the bill that they oppose. not one thing. that is why -- voted for it last night. [ technical difficulties ] >> it would have passed smoothly and been sent for the presidents signature. accept -- except that the democratic leader took the extraordinary step of ...
