>> senator schumer put forward a number the other day. just 3 days ago senate republicans and senate democrats unanimously passed a clean continuing resolutions so we could further discuss this issue, enhance border security in february. but right now i think the two sides should come together, choose a number and move forward. >> nancy pelosi said you couldnt house a $5 billion bill which is why the senate voted the way they did but you are recognizing in february you wont have any leverage at ...

Leader nancy pelosi wont go higher than $1.3 billion. how they get resolved by sunday night is anybodys guest but if they can get an agreement, the universal agreement with a republican senator from tennessee on all the appropriations bills, then they are in business, that is the reason they were willing to get that bill on the floor. they did that with the democratic vote. doug jones from alabama, that is why there is bipartisan cooperation behind the scenes but the key is what will donald trum...

Substantive a matter as you just discussed there, going through all the appropriations bill, talking about wall funding -- a trade around daca, if they are going to have those substantial discussions, who is going to do that? arent a lot of members gone? >> a lot of members are gone. a lot have been told you can go home. we will give you notice before we come, about. as we approach christmas a lot of these members arent going to be coming back. for christmas holiday. they are going to be trying ...

But ultimately because theyve got all the card right now they cant. they have to show their power. bring daca back up in a way that its generated by them and not through something that was by trump. >> i keep thinking back to the oval office meeting. so many things to talk about there, but so many reveals, i think, just about the bake psic bottom line posture. you saw pelosi and schumer visibly recoil at the word wall being used. no wall. not giving you a wall. strikes me. a real sensitivity on ...

Foreign affairs and judiciary committees. with a welcome to you, give me a sense of where things stand right now, the conversation among your colleagues today. are democrats ready to compromise on a wall, the wall? >> thank you alex for your question. let me remind american people what donald trump said last week, quote, i am proud to shut down the government, end quote. we are now in day one of the trump shutdown. it is not a proud day for, he ma. it is a failure of the republican leadership. t...

Politically by this shutdown. we begin with mike very kara who joins us from capitol hill. the house -- they gavelled in, they were in for about a minute or show before they went into recess. lets talk about the latest on the negotiations there. >> the house is in suspended animation. they are waiting for these behind the scenes negotiations to bear some kind of fruit. unfortunately we have no indication there is any progress at all. i guess the good news is that chuck schumer did confirm in his...

Prevent gridlock. in the poll, overall, close to 60% say yes, that he should compromise. then it asked, well, president trump, should he not compromise. overall, 36% say no, i dont agree with that or i agree with that, that he should not compromise. youre seeing a two to one variance. >> most people want to see things get done, and heres the thing, when you go back to trumps campaign rallies, when you ask people there, do you really think hes going to build a wall and mexico is going to pay for ...

Werent there for very long, jake, which is raising questions about what it is that could have gone on behind closed doors, but since they are meeting with chuck schumer, it seemed to be that the democrats have got some leverage here. president trump was scheduled to go initially to mar-a-lago for his holiday vacation about an hour ago, but hes still here at the white house, and as long as this shutdown is till still on,e are no plans for him to travel to palm beach tonight, jake. >> we go to cnn...

Okay. now it is back to the senate. what is the senate going to do is quite correct? the ball is in their court. i dont know. well see what happens. but schumer and others were quite clear they did a deal. they came to a compromise and now well see. >> quickly before we move on, your over/under on this, yes or no, does the government stay open past midnight tonight? >> i believe we get there, yes. >> we have to get there. its just not good to shut down the government. >> do we? do we? so youre b...
