As you know all too well and your listeners hear this quite a bit. when our bill went to the senate. you cant pass it with just republican votes. schumer extracted additional spending. we had a choice in the house. do we take the deal that chuck schumer threw more spending into which gets our military back on track to address the needs that we have in the world, or do we say no and keep these really horrible budget caps on the military that dont let them accomplish their mission. for me i dont l...

I supported the bill. as you know all too well and your listeners hear this quite a bit. when our bill went to the senate. you cant pass it with just republican votes. schumer extracted additional spending. we had a choice in the house. do we take the deal that chuck schumer threw more spending into which gets our military back on track to address the needs that we have in the world, or do we say no and keep these really horrible budget caps on the military that dont let them accomplish their mi...

Trillion to the deficit. you can talk out of both sides of your mouth if you want to, to the american people, and one day be concerned about the deficit and the next day not be, thats a fact. you cannot deny who has a majority in the house and the senate and who is in the white house. you can try to cast blame on chuck schumer. by problem is not with the vote that chuck schumer took. we are not here with a daca deal today. let me remind you, scott and let me remind anyone listening, the reason w...

Worth holding up this piece of legislation, a big bipartisan deal that phil mattingly noted in his report. pelosi and schumer have helped to craft this deal. is it more important that they block this over immigration? a repeat of the movie we saw a few weeks ago. i was here with you on the air, late night when the government shutdown, when democrats in the senate were protesting over immigration and the fact that it hadnt been solved. so, are democrats in the house going to do that, essentially,...

In the same way that mcconnell has. he just hasnt. >> well, we let them have it for a while. >> you know, i have to point out to america, listening to that debate, and listening to rebecca and listening to scott, you would forget that the president of the united states is republican. that the senate is controlled by republicans and the house is controlled by republicans. you would forget that republicans run congress. the reason weve had shutdowns, not once but twice, is because republicans do n...

Im sorry, but this is on paul ryan. and paul ryan is the speaker of the house. paul ryan is the one who heads the republicans in the house who are supposed to know how to whip a vote. and he has issues with his freedom caucus because now we have a group of republicans who all of a sudden are concerned with the deficit. where were they when they just passed a humongous tax bill that increased the deficit by $1.5 trillion? and now, theyre talking about principles in terms of being deficit hawks? i...

The senate last time they had a little bit of leverage because republicans knew they needed democrats to reach the 60-vote threshold. the republicans in the house have never approached democrats with that kind of respect because they thought they had it all on their own. and they should have it all on their own because they dont need -- they just need a clean majority. if they dont have a clean majority, dont put it on the democrats, if youre not willing to come to the table with at least an equ...

Shutdown for repeal and replace obamacare, something that was ancillary to the budget. weve been here before and seen things before. but democrats messed up a couple of weeks ago. theres no other way to put it. they depressed their base. the energy was tamped down. chuck schumer put his leadership in the hands of mitch mcconnell, which i think is a perilous play, at the least. now, we have someone that stood up, went to the well, who advocated the beliefs of nancy pelosi, im interested to see wh...

Constantly on this issue. paul ryan said the next legislative priority that he will take up is daca. democrats, leader pelosi and schumer will take him at his word. we have to get a daca fix. 75% of americans want to see dreamers have permanent status. this is not an amnesty issue. the fact that these people have been here since they were small children. the only country they know. and thats why you are seeing a majority of americans, regardless of political party who want to see a daca fix. >> ...

Her to say this is where our values are. she was speaking for the caucus even though there are members that are now released and will vote for that budget. on daka, she was speaking about the value center of the democratic party. i think that was important so we could draw that you line and that the public can really see there is a distinction between where we are as democrats and where apparently the republican conference is in the house. >> i noticed something, one of our producers dug this fa...
