Kill The Graham News Today

From the other the side. chris coons. i assume a more narrow bill like you heard, if that got through the house, that would get through the senate rather easily. what is the sticking point as far as yourself concerned? >> i hope it would, it is encouraging to hear congressman hurd working so well across the aisle to come up with a narrow and focused solution. the sticking point is that we have a president whose engagement and role here shifted back and forth from welcoming and supporting and con...

Done. >> you sound like a senator that says i will not shut down the government if there is no deal. is that correct? not a deal breaker for you? >> we have enough time, i dont want to give up hope yet that we will get it done. i have been here seven years. i lived through far too many cliffhangers. one of the things that make it harder to get it done is sharper leans in the sand. the government has a good bipartisan deal -- >> youre not ready to draw that line in the sand? no daca deal? no budg...

Im puzzled at the number of times he has done what he did last thursday and defeating something that is just two days before he so openly supported it. >> will you vote to keep the government open on friday if there is no move on daca. were months over do. florida, texas, wildfires, community health centers, a resolution to daca. were all struggling to believe there will be a deal here they should be getting it down --

The white house is able to -- after this messy disappointing incident, my hope is that in the next couple days, chuck, we can save this and do a barn deal to get us moving forward again. >> chris, thank you for coming out, i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> up ahead, this break down in trust has consequences far beyond this moment and this deal. well talk about that next. and the results are in, we crunch the numbers from president trumps white house physical. and 640 muscles in the human body, n...

Joining me now is will hurd of texas. welcome, thank you, sir. >> thank you, chuck, thank you for having me on. >> i know you have your own bipartisan deal on daca, a more narrow version. i want to get to that in a minute. where are we and how far away are we from an actual deal as far as you understand it in the house. >> well, as you know three or four days in washington is still a lot of time to try to get something done. this lack of trust up here in washington dc is real and thats what were...

Public? >> i think when a president is hosting a meeting that important, where a bipartisan deal is important, and where the motives spoken by the president for breaking the deal are that base, i can understand why certain participants felt it important to be clear about why that deal was not embraced. >> as your view of senators cann cotton and purdue changed? >> i think it is unfortunate were in a mud pit of he said he said. it was really unconstructive for them to go on sunday shows and go ou...

Understands how he looks at the world. he is furious because he put a lot on the line for it. he has a deal here. that credibility is hard, what do you think? >> i think with the republican caucus i dont know how far it has fallen. im not sure how they have gotten along with other senators. they come and go. >> you keep having goalposts -- >> is the president conditioning

So if we knew that they have a deal, and we have a good one, that sees up border security and a dava fix, we could get this done. we have several days. i dont understand in this tale of two trumps from last week, why he keeps going back and forth. do you trust the president? >> he was elected by the american people in part because he had some success in business. while we differ on lots of issues, i have to be hopeful that he could still be successful as president. getting this deal over the lin...

You may be right, but a deal is not really in the presidents interest. but i disagree in a sense that the complete break down of the government for a president whose ratings are 39%, i dont think you can continue that way. that 2018 is not going to work. but but the republicans can technically go and put it before a vote. he controls that legislative calendar they realize they do have the votes. the president no longer is no longer in control of immigration policy, it goes back to congress, that...

Crazy if he doesnt. here it is, his government, his effort to get this deal is blown up. >> but i dont see what upside is there for him to do a deal now? >> im trying to just see, politically, what is the upside? anybody in the latino community going to give him credit if he does a deal? >> i dont think anyone in the progressive movement or independent republicans will give him movement. they gave him a laundry list of getting things done. it sended the lottery system and ending chain migration....
