Mitch mcconnell is saying it is my intention to do these things and it is not the same. the way he gets long-term gain, speaking of schumer, is they get some sort of daca/border security funding deal that looks overwhelmingly favorable to democrats. you know, if you see $8 billion allocated to a border wall and some daca protections, i dont know that -- that happens on february 6th. i dont know that chuck schumer has a victory here. i cant imagine a clean daca vote. just daca. just the extension...

Work on their behalf. in that regard, mr. president, i ask unanimous con sent that rule 22, the senate vote at 10:00 p.m. tonight on the motion to invoke closure on the motion to concur with amendment further all time be. considered expired and the senate immediately vote on the motion to concur with further amendment with no intervening action or debate. >> is there objection? >> yes, the majority has the right to object. >> i am happy to continue my discussion with the majority leader about re...

Cornyn, who also is expressing some optimism. he said u schumer wants to give people a chance to chew on it. thats why he didnt want to have a vote tonight. its better to have a successful vote tomorrow at noon than a failed vote tonight. ron? >> cornyn was one of the most pessimi pessimist, so the shift in tone is noteworthy. you have to be realistic about what you can achieve through it. it is i dont think -- i think the evidence is clear. a shutdown cannot make a president do something he doe...

Next move? >> yeah, good evening, anna, so im with ron on this, picture if youre a member of the democratic -- a democratic member of congress and youre looking at what senator mcconnell just laid out there, youve been through 2006 where there was an agreement on comprehensive immigration reform that fell through. youve been through 2013 where the gang of eight bill was passed in the senate and house leadership would not bring it up for a vote even though the votes were there to pass it in the h...

Border security will continue. it would be my intention to e resolve these issues as quickly as possible so that we can move on to other business thats important to our country. however, should these issues not be resolved by the time the funding bill before us expires on february 8th, 2018, assuming that the government remaining open, it would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address daca, border security and related issues. it is also my intention to take up legislation reg...

Short. they did pick up at least one key vote. jeff flake as well as lindsey graham, those are two members that voted against the last version. so they are a little bit closer, but they are r still not at that key 60-vote threshold because of chuck schumers objection to mitch mcconnells proposal tonight. its interesting to hear what mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer were saying. rae mcconnell is making it clear he want was willing to move on these issues that schumer has been demanding. disaster...

Daca to the budget which is what they just lost on. its a terrible idea for them and i think republicans should stick to their line. if if you want action on daca wh is effectively amnesty, which it is. we better get the wall as we campaigned on it. >> katie: schumer senses about the agreement, whats the agreement. one of the terms of the agreement? what are the details? >> harris: what chuck schumer said on the floor, the senate will immediately proceed to legislation on daca and dreamers up or...

Its not really about the democrats or the republicans, its about how do we move forward as the strongest government in the world and we are on day three of a shutdown. that is a big issue. rob: okay, the magic number will be 60 in the senate. we have to get to that number. theres going to be an attempt today at least procedural vote to try and get there and its going to be a deal basically on a three-week cr which is a continuing resolution that we will put a date on a daca vote and we will vote...

From me mitch mcconnell. >> so long as the government remains open, it would be my intense to take up legislation here in the senate that would address daca, border security and related issue. >> we expect that a bipartisan bill on daca will receive fair consideration and an up or down vote on the floor. >> now this deal is under voting right now, but the reaction has already been swift. d.c. democrats say they got a republican concession they didnt have last week. a plan in some form to get the...
