Seen what hes done, he has changed the way hes looked at a number of things. he said very definitely changed his attitude towards daca issue. and even the wall once we briefed him. there are places where hygrograph kelley, geo graphically a wall would not be realistic. there are other places we think 800 miles additional wall to include the 600 that are already in place, the fencing, would suffice. >> and mexico is not going to pay? >> we have some ideas how things like visa fees, renegotiation ...

Then we just lost our voice too. and that is not wise. >> lets talk about daca. and if there are people in your community who have concerns about what the presidents position is on daca. >> there is a misnomer that this president is out to go into neighborhoods and tear families apart. so in my vocation, i have to be able to say, look, were here to offer hope. i cant break the law. i cant -- i cant use my church as a sanctuary church. but then im torn because im looking at families with the pote...

Floor. the real problem here is in the senate. democrats seem to have reached their breaking point after supporting cr after cr. there have been four since october. and each time that happens the democrats have to go home to explain why it doesnt include any of the their protesters, most notably the daca issue. i think some of them have just gotten to the point where they can no longer explain. the fact that president trump used that kind of language we heard from him last weekend in a private m...

Members in the freedom caucus? >> i know a lot of folks that are silently a "no." from what i think i know, theres enough it wouldnt pass with republican votes. thats not consistent with what democrats are saying. theyre saying theyre all "no" unless theres a daca deal. thats really frustrating because essentially democrats are picking 800,000 people whose parents brought them here illegally over funding our defense. what the house has been for since september is fully funding defense for the fu...

Shutdown, who takes the blame here? the daca deadline is march 5th. on the other side, mark meadows say his members may have enough to save this. who will take the blame if we shut down the government? >> well, i mean, democrats are certainly, they have one piece of leverage in washington now. thats spending bills. on the other hand, republicans control the white house, the house, they control the senate. its hard for me to understand how republicans wouldnt take some or most of the blame for th...

Ceremony for bob dole. i know you will be, too. what was mitch mcconnell just saying? is he saying that the white house needs to tell congress what he is willing to sign so that they can figure out a deal that they should pass? >> yeah. were getting the 11th hour here. unfortunately, the issue of daca has been married up with government funning. im supportive of keeping the government open. im supportive of fixing the daca issue. but these deadlines have been tied up. what were trying to say is ...

Entire negotiation over daca and the dreamers. >> i think, look, what you saw senator durbin doing was very calculated. as you noted, it was very planned. two fold. first to get on the record, in public, by two actual participants on either side. senator durbin trying to defend his remarks, something he wanted to do, and he wanted to have the fight on policy, have a very clear discussion about what his proposal on the daca issue would do, where the administration stood and why according to his q...

Of house this issues breaks. even the loyalty to the president, there is a sharp divide inside the republican party. in terms of where they actually stand on this. and all of this under scores the difficulty republican leaders are facing right now. when it comes to this issue, there is a bipartisan that is on the plate right now. the real question is what, and as they currently look at this week, as pam laid out so well, the difficulties, the complexities of just trying to keep the government op...

Issue breaks inside the republican party. its a complex issue. even the loyalty to the president, there is a sharp divide inside the republican party, inside the senate republican conference, inside the house republican conference in terms of where they stand on this. and all of this kind of underscores the difficulty republican leaders are facing right now. when it comes to this issue, there is a bipartisan deal that is on the plate right now. that republicans have rejected. the president has s...

Security. moving slowly but surely towards a merit-based system. >> dana: bret baier, this daca issue was for the democrats, good leverage for them. it also underscores just how important it is to get legislation done. just as we were coming to air, just department that it will repeal the daca ending. and congress is still without a law to handle it. >> thats right, dana. they will appeal the ruling from the noncircuit court. remember, it kind of prevented the ending of daca as he explained. the...
