Effort. in this speech last night, you heard about immigration and the border security and you have and daca compromise. you heard about prescription drugs, the minneapolis cri-- th and national security. theres an old robin williams joke about retracting back to american borders and the statue of liberty shaking her fist particularly lard, and that should be the -- particularly harksd a hard, and that should be the new foreign policy. i think thats the stuff trump talked about on the campaign t...

Senate, and i think there is strong bipartisan support, the whole country will are to pile on the house. hire here is what we know about the house. there are a majority of house members in favor of a bipartisan daca compromise. the key is getting them to act on it. and there are some tools like discharge petitions and other things you can use in the house, but first step is to get everybody to come together, focus on getting this out of the united states senate, and over to the house. >> do you ...

Which was getting rid of obamacare. i dont know that the democrats may not be blamed if this goes on for a while. as the white house likes to say, holding the country hostage to force a deal on daca. if there is no trust between the parties, if the democrats dont believe the republicans are going to negotiate in good faith in three weeks, on a daca compromise, i dont know how this thing ends. i think its going to because the president wants to go to - - hes lined up very important meetings. they...

>> the house of representatives, the president and a bipartisan majority of republican and democratic senators all agreed on a compromise bill that would have prevented a shutdown. we can pass this bill today, have it signed into law so we can end this nonsense. there is one way to do all of this and its right in front of us. a pending measure. to enable congress to do the commonsense thing. keep negotiating other issues while providing for our troops, veterans and millions of vulnerable america...

Essentially denying services to law-abiding americans and denying funding to our border agents, how you can negotiate on daca during that. i think the administrations position is as soon as they reopen government, we will resume conversations on daca. its hard to negotiate when they are keeping our border agents not paid, troops unpaid and not paying for american services. >>julie: what do republican lawmakers want to see out of any deal? >> i think they want a complete win on this one. presiden...

Question about closing the pay gap. right now women in america are paid $.79 on the mans dollar. is that going to change under president trumps policies? if you dont have paid sick leave for these mothers so they can take care of their children, those children are not going to be cared for. they are concerned about that. you should be supporting paid maternity leave, policies that republicans have treated as - - for decades. i understand you want to say how great the economy is but its a lot mor...

Thats two shutdowns too many. you heard mulvaney and roberts talk about everything in this bill that the democrats agree to. they want daca in. daca doesnt even have the so-called republican democratic compromise doesnt have any legislative language at this point. you couldnt get it done by tonight if you wanted to. it would be difficult to do after four or five days as well. so theres a march 5 deadline for daca. so what is big deal? lets keep the government open and get on with it and do the o...

Argue why we shouldnt secure our border and enforce immigration laws. when you go to modernization like making a merit based or getting rid of the diversity lottery. going to a person based system. >> laura: im sorry to interrupt, but arent they doing amnesty at the same time mexico that everybody, but they are doing 800,000 at the same time. theyre kind of doing a smaller version of what you guys try to do in 2013, and that obviously didnt work out well. the president is still willing to give. ...
