They say even behind closed doors this president obviously has a different style. its hard to say whether he thought or knew this would get out. but it certainly is in line with his tendency to speak in a controversial way to talk off the cuff with lawmakers when hes negotiating with them. >> so based on that, are we now in an environment in that meeting who feel they have a responsibility to make comments like these public? >> you know, i think it really depends what had happened in that meetin...

That he represents the inclusive ideal of american immigration when he has refused to negotiate on daca. theres a long pattern of this kind of vulgar language thats race based from donald trump. its not all together shocking to us. what is shocking is the inability of republican leaders to grow a spine in this moment. republicans have to decide if theyre going to stand with george washington who said the bosom of the united states must be open not just to the stranger but those repressed and per...

On thursday. the president trying to get back on democrats, not talk about his own language, a couple of tweets take this into a sharp focus. democrats are all talk and no action. they are doing nothing to fix daca. its something thats part of this larger immigration discussion. i dont believe the democrats want to see a deal on daca. they are all talk and no action. this is time but day by day they are blowing the one great opportunity they had. too bad with the exclamation point we see from th...

Rugged will. i do believe there is a compromise that is possible, indeed, probable. and that compromise should occur sooner rather than later. i would hope this week, if not this week, certainly by the first week in march. but lets all work towing to make sure that occurs. >> congressman, be that as it may, you are speaking out, others will perhaps echo your sent ichts. when you have this president saying derogatory comments thatco not help but capture the discussion out there. as much as you wa...

Is in davos as i understand he will be attending that conference. >> he is. >> the polling was conducted before these comments. it shows democrats with an even wider lead on the general ballot. theyve got a 17-point lead now. you add the presidents comments to this. well see what the numbers are then. has the political damage been done here? >> i believe we will be judged based upon our records in congress. certainly that will be true across the entire country. but i do think we have to work tog...

Yesterday. >> he said a lot of things yesterday. which ones are you talking about in. >> its a word i cant mention. its about african countries, about immigration. >> i spent my day in 7023 a fisa thing. i read their comments last night t. first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate, unhelpful. >> and you, sir, have said you want to move forward but after comments like these, how difficult is it to try to get policy on immigration on daca passed? is it even developed? >> it may be more...

Need to fix daca. its penitentiary we fix it in a way that gets bipartisan support and we dont have a problem or 10 years down the road. we dont want to just fix the sentiment and not the root cause. you have a balanced daca solution that has the security components along with the daca fix and that gets you bipartisan support for fixing the broken immigration problems. thats what i top twant to see out of this. not just this fix and lets put together a solution that starts knocking down these ot...

Leverage is concerned, but they wont be attached as far as legislation. >> is there going to be a government shut down? >> i dont think there will be. we are making progress on what we call the cap steal that im working on with schumer and mcconnell and pelosi. we are making credit, but i think the democrats and i understand why. its the only leverage they have. they want to see a path for daca. its not just going to get kicked down the road and going to get resolved. i want it resolved, too. i ...

That paul ryan was giving trump a template on how to speak about this, trump is capable of this. it has been far overshadowed. part of our interview yesterday before this other story came out, we talked to him quite a bit about immigration. he still wants a wall, but there is flexibility there. he doesnt want to talk about comprehensive immigration, but said its a possibility. when it comes to daca, he urged his party to have flexibility on it and talked about looking at it with his heart. talki...

Incredible citizens. i think its important that we celebrate that. having said that, you are trying to ask me about daca. >> you are trying to broker a deal, right? how do you do that with this? >> we just have to get it done. im hopeful that the talks -- it started about a week ago. we have been talking quite a bit its not as if we had, but we started at the white house with an agreement that the four deputies, the number two leaders in the house and the senate because dick durbin is the number...
