Bad bill written by nancy pelosi and chuck schumer? that certainly is a recal ality freedom caucus has to face. >> i would hope all members face that. in my view presidents out united states should never be prisoners to any party. dwight eisenhower was good at getting people to work with sensible solutions. the president obviously is aligned predominantly with the republican party, but he needs to be flexible. he needs to be able to reach into both caucuses to get major legislation done. that's a reality particularly in the senate where there's a 60-vote flesh hothreshold. i think this was a d...

Pathway to citizenship for d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> we said we would support a permanent solution for those in the daca program and i think that would address that. >> any legal status versus pathway to citizenship or does is it not matter to the president. >> i think that is part of the negotiation process. but right now we want a permanent solution for that program. but we also want to keep a big priority for the administration as making sure we don't find ourselves having the same battle in two, three, four or five years down the road. so we have to have a responsible immigration reform that -- ad...
