President being very clear he was not going to sign that short-term spending bill that didnt include the $5 billion for his border wall and then the house added it and passed it. that has a lot to do with it as well. but you see the president not missing an opportunity to hit back at nancy pelosi, essentially saying hes correct here even though of course it passed in the house. it is dead on arrival in the senate. those talks on capitol hill today that involved the vice president, jared kushner,...

Nancy pelosi saying i dont have the votes. it turns out he did have the votes. now you have him calling her out. now you have a partial government shutdown happening. so now what? >> its very simple. hes got to pick up the phone and call chuck shierm, and they got to hash it out because the republicans in the congress will not undermine the president. theyll go with whatever deal that he says to go with, and schumer has to deliver some votes. yes, pelosi was wrong by the way. trumps right. she j...

And this two days after a bipartisan, you know, panel came up with and agreed on mcconnells plan to keep government open until february 8th, but then the president changed his mind, acquiesced to pressure from conservative lawmakers and commentators, and schumer said if you want to keep the government open, youve got to abandon this whole wall concept. >> right, so its okay for chuck schumer to put an absolute line in the sand, but its not okay for the president to try to actually fulfill a camp...

He sent mike pence and mick mulvaney on capitol hill to continue with negotiations but both sides appear to be very entrenched. >> lets go to political, phil. we heard the vice president is where you are on capitol hill. meeting with the senate minority leader, perhaps. what is the expectation here that the two of them can break this log jam, and get the government fully started again? >> to be bluntd, the expectations are very low. going into that meeting and it is happening right now, vice pre...

Democrats and the white house, a negotiation that has been happening in fits and starts with no clear resolution over the course of the last day or so. what senator chuck schumer made very clear is any deal cannot include money for the wall, which up to this point as the president has made clear is his baseline. if you listen closely to what senator schumer said, he did open the door to any proposal as he said that included perhaps extra funding for border security that did not have any ties to ...

Have them in one session and it would be done. >> go do it. >> i will take the mantle and be the one to shut it down. im not going to blame you for it. the last time you shut it down it didnt work. ill take the mantle, ill shut it down. >> the president has flipped on who is taking the mantle. doesnt he get credit for the fact he called out pelosi and schumer to the faces in front of the cameras sapped i can bring it up in the house. the house republicans brought up money under his direction and...

Whether or not they are going to spend three tenths of 1% of deficit spending to secure our southern border. pete: see that countdown clock right there. 7 hours the government is shutting down. ticking up. counting down to the shut down. now we are seven hours into a shutdown while you were asleep. turns out the senate couldnt figure out what they wanted to do. the passing the bill that included $6 billion in funding it moves over to the senate. they voted to vote. but they havent figured out wh...

Reality check, taking stock of where they are in negotiations and how far they can go in negotiations. there was no encouraging sign on the senate floor this afternoon when mitch mcconnell skewered democrats for their hypocrisy over border wall funding noting that 12 years ago democrats loved border wall funding is 26 of them including senators obama, clinton and schumer voted for bill for hundreds of miles of border wall barriers on the southern border and they did so again recently. >> this ye...

It was enough to move to debate on the measure, but not enough to avoid a shutdown. >> this ball does not have 60 votes here in the senate, let alone 50 votes. that much is now clear. >> republicans in the senate quickly announced after that they werent going to take any more votes on anything related to border wall funding until they could guarantee 60, and that is far away. so they adjourned. of the house also called it an early night, and leadership they remained satisfied they did their job,...

>> i know that senator schumer put forward a number the other day, you have to remember just three days ago senate republicans and senate democrats unanimously cast a clean continuing resolution so we could further discuss this issue of enhanced border security in february. right now i think the two sides should come together, choose a number and move forward. >> shannon: congresswoman pelosi said you couldnt pass this bill and thats why the senate voted the way they did. youre not going to have...
