Chuck schumer said about all the events that led to the shutdown. lets listen in. >> during the meeting, an exchange for strong daca protections, i reluctantly put the border wall on the table for discussion. even that was not enough to entice the president to finish the deal. there is no one, no one who deserves the blame for the position we find ourselves in more than president trump. >> what do you make of that, joe? >> well, i think that what zerlina said is right on point. when you have the...

Chuck schumer tonight. the republicans have called this the schumer shutdown. shier schumer in his speech talked about this is all on the presidents shoulders and thats where the blame should fall. what does schumer have to do now? >> well, schumer is absolutely right. all senator schumer has done for the last weeks and, you know, renewing those efforts today was trying to find a deal. he went to the white house personally and thought that he had a deal. you know, he walked out of the oval offic...

Reach an agreement with president trump and republicans that would have not only spared a government shutdown but cemented an agreement on spending caps, including those for our military, the health care issues, disaster relief and immigration issues. president trump reached out to me today, this morning, to invite me to the white house to talk all of these issues over. and i accepted. we had a lengthy and substantive discussion. during the meeting, in exchange for strong daca protections, i rel...

And in a volcanic meeting at the white house, the same script played out with myself and the president yesterday. the president called me in the morning and asked that i come to the white house. and of course i accepted. we had an extensive and serious negotiation about every single outstanding issue. we came close to a tentative agreement on the budget, after i offered the pentagons full budget request. on the thorniest issue of immigration, the president said many times he would take a deal th...

Much -- theres normally animosity but theres just -- you can feel it, right? its very palpable. does it help to give everyone a little breathing room for a month? >> i think time heals a lot of wounds and you would rather take the heat off of this. it feels like a month but its been less than a week since donald trump had that immigration meeting in the white house. so sure, in theory, but id remind you, they had issues with daca -- this is not -- the border security funding versus daca protecti...

Daca. but that seems like a stretch when republicans have so much control. >> republicans do have control. they had hoped to have a deal where they could trade-off priorities the democrats would get the dream act fixed that they had been seeking. republicans would get some money for border security, if not everything the president wanted. it seems like a pretty straightforward deal in previous times. washington would have signed, sealed and delivered it and sent it to the president. in todays at...
