Election in president. >> doing his best trump. that was trumpy in the response. and i saw mark meadows claim that if the freedom caucus that he has the presidents word that -- that he will not agree to a daca deal that tom cotton doesnt vote for. how does a daca deal come. >> it couldnt under that circumstance. the president is surrounded by radical voices when it comes to daca. and but he is proven that hes often taking the advice of the person who is last in the office on this. >> white house...

There saying we have to take a stand here. the obama guys that run pod save america has some chart going around with the fight club versus the waffle house. this is how democrats across the board are feeling about this. and that is a real squeeze for chuck schumer. between the progressive bhoz are already running for president and the guys he needs to keep and fight for a majority. >> my be is chuck schumer is willing to take bullets for claire mccaskill and donnelly. but well see. to the other ...

That were in the meetings for the -- the daca negotiations that sandbagged by the president himself in the tweets. so i think he has a lot of leeway in a certain way because he doesnt have any consistency. >> perhaps. >> i think that is how it comes together. because in one day he can -- he can get if a room and decide that is what he will do or do it administratively or say -- he could see how attractive a deal it and go for it and triangulate against his own party. there is a lot of ways. >> w...

Things. he turns against republicans and democrats. if there is a shut down tomorrow night, what does donald trump say? this is the problem with washington. i tried to fix it but the guys on the hill are stopping me. mcconnell, youre as bad as schumer. its a chance for him, its a bad thing to shut down and i do think its bad for the republican party but if youre trump, you take advantage of the drama or try to and try to liberate yourself in a certain way. hes always been independent at heart. t...

Table everything which was -- which is a vital every morning national interest. none of those were being affected. and people will let you fight over the interior department or housing and urban development for a year. i mean, they are not going to get all excited whereas when you have the defense department and have you the fbi and you have the border patrol, all wrapped up in this continuing resolution, its very expensive to vote no. and i dont think the democrats yet realize the kind of recor...

Funding for the pentagon? democrats, do you want a cr or daca deal. if they were to shut down the government i think it could be days before theyd be able to work this out. this isnt something, all right, fix it up. i think it will take a surprisingly long period of time if this government shuts down before they are able to reopen and get a majority. >> harris: first you said in the republican party and you did get to the democratic party, cuellar may be standing in no field along with a few peo...

Tamron keith, white house correspondent for npr. let me just ask you the simple question, how is his use of the word he used african countries and haiti, what has that done to the chances of the democrats wanting to sign on to any deal? heidi? >> aside from the language, theres the language itself and theres the erratic behavior of seeming like youre going to accept this deal. you invite them all to your office and trash it. so that basically introduces this element of total unpredictability. th...
