Speaking with reporters up on capitol hill. an important day. the government shutdown about to be officially over. john king, he made an important point that even if they get some sort of compromise on the d.r.e.a.m.ers in the senate, its got to go to the house, and the only way probably it will come up for an up or down vote, any compromises that emerge from the senate in the house is if the president gets directly involved and supports it. hes going to be speaking shortly. well hear what he ha...

Responding? >> the criticism is largely focused at members of the presidents staff. chuck schumer continues to accused the president of being an unlee reliable negotiating partner. he says he and the president reached a deal and the president later backed out of that deal after meeting with his staff. press secretary sarah sanders pushed back on that. she said humanners memory is hazy. well not negotiate on the status of unlawful immigrants while schumer and the democrats hold the government for...

Easily passing the 60-vote threshold to reopen the government. this is essentially the same thing the house will take up in due course. its expected to pass. you dont want to say its a done deal but close. a wyoming republican senator, a big influence in leadership. how do you think this is going to go, senator? >> neil, were going to vote to reopen the government after the schumer shut down. its turned to the schumer surrender. the strategy they had was very misguided. you dont shut down the go...

Military personel around the globe and where they need to be and thats impacted. the military taking the brunt of this and they are the last people that should are have to take the brunt. again, this is chuck schumer and liberals putting amnesty above government and thats wrong. rob: i have to be fair here, i think both sides are pointing fingers on each other, on friday you had the big oval office meeting between schumer and trump and photos that came out that were close to something there and ...

Step in public before february 8th? >> yes. . the problem is if you finish the immigration bill before february 8th, then when we have to deal with the next shutdown february 8th that kicks the bill off the senate calendar. and you can only bring it back -- >> there are a lot of hurdles there. we want to start and finish the immigration bill. >> so what does that mean for where schumer is now going to talk to members of his caucus? will they be receptive to this? will the government be open tomo...
