needs to change is just that we need to change the way that people respond to children when they cry for help and, you know, people take advantage of little kids because they think that we're not smart enough to understand what's happening and we must be mistaken it needs to change. when a child comes to you and they need help, just help them. they're not trying to get attention, they're not trying to be mean to somebody else. they know that somethings wrong. these organizations like usa g when you see these children that are working so hard to reach their goals and they're willing to do anything and you're willing to put them through anything to do it and that's not fair to them and it's the same way where, you know, larissa said she felt honored to have cathy as a coach and when someone looks up to you like that and you betray them, that wrecks somebody and it goes to show that this happened to some people 20 plus years ago and you hear in court today, you can still hear how angry they are and feel the mood in the room. you have to be able to -- when a
5:01 am
child tells you something to listen and you have to believe them. not make them second guess themselves because then they're so insecure that it does take all of this courage and strength to have to speak to their abuser and talk to him straight in the eye and it's not okay. >> believe us, protect us. that is all you are asking. your bravery is an example to all of us. ladies, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you. we have a lot of news to get to. good morning, everyone. again, a lot to get to this hour. >> let me tell you that is the right move by that circuit court judge. empower these young women, and women. it helps them. even if it delays the process, so what? welcome to your new day. allison is off. poppy joins us right thousand this morning. we are three days in to the u.s. government shutdown. is there going to be progress? here's what we know. in just hours the senate will hold a procedural vote on a plan to reopen the government and fund it for three weeks but there is so much on the table.
5:02 am
they're probably fair criticism trying to get too much done on this bill. the big dividing line, is there really a bill of love for d.r.e.a.m.ers in the heart of the gop? because right now there doesn't seem to be any consensus. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he's willing to start debating immigration legislation if there is no agreement by february 8th. the democrats aren't buying it. the senate minority leader says he needs a firmer commitment. >> so where's the president in all of this? his role in striking a deal is the focal point today. will he bring lawmakers from both sides together to try to end this stalemate and will mitch mcconnell trigger the nuclear option as the president is calling for? >> joining us now is marc short. mr. short thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me back on. >> you're always welcome whenever you want to come on and discuss what matters. i appreciate it and i want the audience to know, yes, in the 6:00 hour i said we couldn't get
5:03 am
anybody from the white house on. that was true at the time and after that you guys agreed to make time in your schedule so thank you for doing that. >> thank you. i'm not going to play the commercial that is being run out there by the president of the united states because i believe it is unfairly demonizing illegal entrance into this country. if the president wants a bill of love, consider are you guys running an ad that paints illegals as monsters? >> what it's trying to do is we have a real security threat on our borders. what you saw last week report from dhs says there 2,500 people on the terror watch list trying to get into the united states each and every year. ta means seven per day that are either apprehended or turned away. we have serious security concerns and it's being ignored in this debate right now. i think when you talk about a bill of love, let me just step back for a second and say where
5:04 am
we are in the negotiations. i'm perhaps too optimistic. i feel like there's been significant progress. democrats have moved significantly toward our position of the physical barriers that we're asking for. the front line officers have asked for and democrats have asked us to say, as opposed to 600,000 people, would you be willing to consider that beyond, their position is there are some who were either afraid to come out of the dark and to register or what not and we said, yes, we'den willing to do that. there's a lot of progress here. why we're having a manufactured shutdown when you're having progress and negotiations so you're shutting down the government over an issue that's not in front of you in the actual bill to keep the government afloat. >> the democrats answer to that is, lack of clarity and consistency and leadership from the white house. they say if you put the durbin-graham amendment on the floor in the senate it will pass and mcconnell is not doing that why?
5:05 am
>> let's get at both of those issues. lack of clarity, skrn kelly went to congress when he was dhs secretary a year ago and said these are the things we need fix. we dwaf plenty of notice that we felt the position the obama administration was untenable. the federal government was sued. we'll have to end the program. we then extended six months and said congress please fix this and we gave to them a list of our priorities. we refined that list at their request weeks ago and said here are the four things we're asking for. fix daca population, help border security, end chain migration and the visa lottery program. we've been crystal clear of our priorities. on the graham-durbin bill, we are encouraged that they focused on those four areas. there's a lot of other things that they wanted they were put aside as well as us. inside those four buckets we felt their proposals was woefully insufficient that on the border security what they're doing is appropriating one year and tieing our hands and saying no new technology can be used.
5:06 am
well, we're experimenting with new technologies and prototypes on the border every day to say you can't use that was a clever way of saying we don't want the wall being built. >> any negotiation that the president is building a new wall is the context demands is going to be seen as progress. two questions. >> can i stop you there for one second? the president actually on the campaign trail said and we have plenty of documents of him saying that we know the wall cannot be built from sea to sea. there's plenty of places where there's mountains, there's valleys and places of physical limitations. >> his call was, what are we going to do, build a wall? who's going to pay for it mexico and he gished himself from the rest of the field by refusing to acknowledge the complexity of it along the border and that you couldn't have a wall that the border agents don't even think that bar krr is their main concern. you know he made this a signature issue. >> it was a signature issue.
5:07 am
>> and he medade the mexico par was a myth and the wall he's back and forth on. >> we'd be happy to pull the campaign footage where he recognizes he can't be in every place. >> why did kellyanne conway will he's met with experts and learned that their top graphical issues looking at the map and there are rivers in involved. did he learn there are issues or not? >> one of the things that he is helped to be informed on is when cvp says there's places for the wall to be porous. and so that impacts what that physical barrier is. >> i don't disagree with what you're saying. i'm saying the president didn't embrace it. i have to correct one thing, marc. i get what the message is in the ad. my 7-year-old gets what the message is in the ad but it's just not true. is there a security threat? yes. are there illegal entrants who pose criminal threats and are
5:08 am
here to create crime? yes. but by numbers and statistics, you cannot make the case that the illegal entrance are more dangerous than native born citizens but you are making that case. you're saying they're the terror threat even though you noel the statistics show that either white supremacists or homegrown people and radicalized here are a bigger threat than illegal entrance. you know if you look at the prison population or the criminal -- the committing of crimes by percentage of population they are lower than they are the rest. so why make them monsters when that's not true in the data? >> chris, i don't think that we're trying to make everyone here monsters. what i think you would look and say last week and the study came out we also showed that three of the four terrorist convicted in the united states are foreign born. you know as well as i do -- >> where were they radicalized -- >> chris you and i both know that the two terror attacks inside the united states last year in new york, the pipe bomb
5:09 am
and the terrorists who ran over people, one came in through visa lottery and chain migration. >> those are two. you had 18 deaths by white supremacists. why aren't you rounding them all up? >> chris, i think that the justice department is pursuing those vigorously. we want to round those up too, without a doubt. >> he said bill of love. i don't get how you put out an ad like that and say bill of love? i don't get how you attach the border security and the daca bill. if you care about them, do it solo. if you attach it to the wall then they're not your priority, finding a pathway. >> here's the difference, as the president looks at the daca population, these are recognized these are people aged 16 to 36 who have been in the united states in order to get a work permit. they are law-abiding. therefore they are productive to our society. we want to find a pathway for them whether or not that's legal permanent residents or even a
5:10 am
conversation about citizenship. the president is willing to go there and to make sure they are protected and stay in our country. what he is saying is that is an emotional issue for them. >> then why did he just tweet -- marc, while you're speaking and doing well obviously he's watching. he thinks you need help. the democrats are turning down services and security for citizens in favor of services and security for noncitizens. not good. how is this not exhibit a of a clear intention to divide people in this country along those who like illegal entrance and who don't like them? how is this true? how are the democrats choosing daca or d.r.e.a.m.ers or illegal entrance or undocumented entrants over american citizens, how is that true? >> chris, where we are in our debates we are actually making progress in our negotiations to get a solution. the democrats have decided we're going to stop paying american troops. we're going to stop paying custom and border control agents.
5:11 am
we're going to not fund children's health insurance because their base is upset at all the administration's being accomplished. they're being held hostage by their base and holding american troops hostage to their demands. >> when the democrats offered to put a bill on the floor to keep the military paid, why wouldn't you guys allow a vote on it? >> chris, the bill that's already passed united states house of representatives kept the government open for another four weeks to continue negotiation. the president said he was willing to sign that. if democrats are willing to vote for a bill that does not include daca for five days why aren't they willing to do it for four weeks? we've now offered a new proposal to offer three weeks. >> because it's what's is in the proposal? >> five days is not going to give us time to finalize this deal. >> i agree. it's not my place to agree or disagree. i get you. that doing things in the small and minimal has not served well. i take that point. >> that's good news, we agree. >> as long as you embrace the
5:12 am
facts he'll always be on good footing. here's what i'm saying. i don't see how -- i get why you don't want to defend the tweet this morning, the democrats are turning down services and security for citizens in favor of services and security for noncitizens. why divide people along this line if what he says he wants is a bill of love? if he believes that the d.r.e.a.m.ers should be given dignity and respect in this country, why tweet something like this? why put an ad out like that? >> the democrats have chosen to say we're going to deny services to federal workers, deny services to our troops serving overseas, deny services -- >> they put our -- >> it's exactly what they're doing. >> pay for the military and you guys control both houses of congress in the white house. this is the first time we've ever had a shutdown under those conditions. >> you know from schoolhouse rock that we need 60 votes. they need 60 votes to actually move to this. that's our challenge. the democrats are able to shut down the government. >> he doesn't even have his
5:13 am
control of the house -- >> republicans have controlled of the senate. >> now senator graham and flake are in support of this bill. we have the votes to do this if democrats would actually assist us. >> but that's about working with the other side. >> five democrats crossed over from senator schumer and said this is ridiculous. we hope that more will actually come across. >> that's about what you're offering and how legitimate the conversation is that's going on. if you care about the military, there's a deal to extend it right now for the duration of any shutdown. you don't want to vote on it? why you're playing to political advantage with the shutdown and so are the democrats to a certain extent. i hear you on that. >> 95% of republicans are asked to keep the government open and 95% elected democrats are voting to shut it down. how can you make the case that we're the ones -- >> we have a number this morning. 56% of the american people say keep the government open. >> we're trying to. >> i'm not saying anything different. >> that's exactly what the proposal on the senate floor does. it's what the president is willing to sign.
5:14 am
is to keep the government open. the one shutdown -- >> but it doesn't protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers? >> chris, that is an issue that we're making progress on. there's been substantial movement in that. this is a manufactured shutdown because the base of their party is upset of all the things that were accomplished last year. >> no. >> that's what this is about. >> i hear that line. i get it. but -- if this is about the d.r.e.a.m.ers and protecting them and a bill of love on the part of president and the daca as a stand alone issue, then that's what it should be and it isn't. >> what you're doing is chuck schumer said you're basically coming into my house, stealing my wife and kids, taking them hostage and saying let's negotiate the price of the house. those are those exact words. >> it's bad politics and that's why we're hoping the president would make a difference. i'll tell you what, mr. short, i appreciate you coming on and being tested. it is helpful and welcome back any time and on the regular.
5:15 am
>> thanks for having me. i'm so glad they joined an important conversation. let's go through it all. let's bring in our panel, josh green, jonathan martin. gentlemen, a lot of news out of that interview with marc short. two really big things, one we're making significant progress on the shutdown negotiations. i think we're all glad to hear that. >> and the president tweets. >> and the president tweets. >> mid-interview, by the way. not helpful for marc short trying to make his argument. the second headline here mr. martin to you, the democrats are tieing our hands because they schumer will only appropriate billions of dollars in wall funding for one year and that is not going to work. how do you see it? >> i think there's a lot of public posturing amid some more substantive and serious private conversations. i think that both sides publicly have to come out and sound tough to try to create the appearance
5:16 am
of hanging tough for their bases and trying to win the p.r. fight here. privately what is happening at this hour indeed all morning is that you're going to have senate democrats in conversation with senate republicans, not necessarily the leaders but more rank and file who are trying to get some kind of assurances that if, in fact, they vote, they meaning the democrats to reopen the government today that yes a daca bill of some kind will come to the floor in the next month. that is what i am told that right now they're trying to go beyond what mcconnell promised last night was a little bit vague and pin them down that yes, in fact, if we vote to reopen the government to today, we democrats will get an opportunity to vote on daca. if they get that assurance. i think there's a chance a deal could be struck today.
5:17 am
>> josh? >> i heard two big things come out of the marc short interview. republicans still seem very comfortable with their position. the idea that they're going to blame democrats for this shutdown. we've seen some public polling that indicates, you know, opinion tilts narrowly to democrats. i don't think it does enough yet that republicans feel any pressure. the other thing from that short interview was the idea that progress was being made as i heard him not just on the efforts to reopen government but on the issue of daca, which is at the heart of the shutdown. the one thing that's been absent so far from this debate is a clear expression of the president's position on daca and i know from talking to republicans that is one of the major sticking points. we heard paul ryan come out yesterday and say, i'm not willing to move forward with anything until i know what the president's position is. i think a lot of republicans are worried if they make these commitments to vote on some kind of a daca bill that trump will saw off the limb and abandoned
5:18 am
them the way he has in the past on other issues. so i think the president coming forward and getting beyond john kelly and steven miller and saying this is my position, this is what i need would greatly advance this process if he were willing to do it. >> you can't blame people for being confused about where the president is. you asked for something. >> he hasn't elaborated on it. >> he's confused about what he's for. >> his golf buddy come back two days later and they get into that fight that launch a whole new vocab for the american people and since then you have people both sides saying they don't know where he is. he started with bill of love but look at his most recent tweet. jonathan, he's clearly playing on the politics of division here. you're either for american citizens or you're for illegals. that is clear in his latest tweet. why would the democrats believe he's going to give them good faith in a negotiation to help d.r.e.a.m.ers after something like that and that ad that he's running on tv? >> that's exactly right.
5:19 am
they don't view this president as somebody that they can trust or even depend on in negotiations which is why from my conversations talking to democrats in the senate they want to get some kind of assurances from more trusted counterparts in the senate, not donald trump in the white house, not even mitch mcconnell. >> but who then? >> well, there are known senate moderate deal makers who's names you have mentioned who i think if they can come to an agreement, i think you will see the democrats necessary to reopen the government but again, chris is right, though. part of the challenge here is that you have a president who does not offer the kind of traditional leadership that we've seen in the white house where they land some where. it's clear how they view on issue or even a process matter. even on the substance or the process here, it's not clear where the president wants to go and the reason it's not clear is because he's torn between his
5:20 am
hawkish instincts on immigration that his base likes and his thirst for getting better media coverage and better treatment. >> exactly. >> he's torn between those two polls and that's why he shifts back and forth so much, guys. >> jeff flake, no fan of the president and his party but that's about it, saying it's not helpful for the president to be involved here but at this point three days of the president with nothing on camera, nothing with tweets about this, is there any benefit -- is there anything, josh, beneficial to mitch mcconnell if the president does come out today, does go on camera, does convene lawmakers from both parties? you're not sold? >> there would be if he came out and articulated a clear position but he hasn't, so john was just talking about the distrust that is sewed among democrats. it is also sewed distrust among republicans. you have jeff flake come out yesterday and say, no, we don't want the president involved. you had paul ryan and say, yesterday, we need the president to be involved and articulate a position so we know whether we
5:21 am
can move forward. the lack of a clear position, the lack of leadership from the president i think has scrambled this issue in both parties and made the shutdown harder to resolve. >> all right, gentlemen. i appreciate your take on what marc short said. we're happy to have him here. you need to hear what the positions and arguments are from the white house. you need it for the debate. gentlemen, thank you very much. breaking news, you may have a war of words here in the u.s. but you had something much worse than that going on in israel. this is what happened when vice president mike pence began speaking at the israeli. arab israeli lawmakers were removed from the floor for interrupting his address amid applause, which i think is a way -- that's how they celebrate taking them out and to somewhat diff fuse the situation. cnn's or rein lieberman. we have it right. they were applauding not the protest. they were applauding the efforts to remove the protesters.
5:22 am
how did it go down? >> reporter: that's exactly right. we knew the arab members had something planned. they'd made it clear they wanted to boycott vice president mike pence's speech but we didn't know exactly what when pence took the speech that's when they held up a sign in the old city of jerusalem, one of the holiest sites in islam. the arab members were not inside the chamber for pence's welcome and that gives you a sense of the arab anger that still is here, not only in jerusalem but throughout the middle east at trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. pence reaffirmed that decision and also said the u.s. embassy would be moving from tel aviv to jerusalem sometime next year. doubling down on what we'd reported just a couple of weeks ago. pence also said that the u.s. remains committed to a peace process. the u.s. is willing to commit to a two-state solutions if both
5:23 am
sides are. the palestinians will not meet with pence while he's here. >> sending a very clear message to this administration. appreciate it. thank you. republican senator john kennedy slamming congress is being, quote, run by idiots. he's a member of congress. what does he think about the prospects of reopening the government today? we will ask him live on new day. stay with us. they really appreciate the military family, and it really shows. we've got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. usaa was there hands-on very quick very prompt. i feel like we're being handled as people that actually have a genuine need. we're the webber family and we are usaa members for life. usaa, get your insurance quote today.

5:27 am
i am happy to continue my discussion with the majority leader about reopening the government. we've had several conversations, talks will continue, but we have yet to reach an agreement on a path forward that would be acceptable for both sides. for that reason i object. >> democratic minority leader chuck schumer rejecting any deal to open the government last night. will the government shutdown end soon? that's the question. let's ask republican senator john kennedy of louisiana. always good to have you, sir. marc short, he is optimistic progress is being made. do you think that there is a chance that this shutdown ends with this vote at high noon? >> nobody knows the answer to that, chris. here's what i heard speaking -- leader mcconnell propose last
5:28 am
night. democrats agree today to open government back up until february 8th. from then and until now, we will negotiate a budget and will negotiate an immigration bill of which daca will be apart. if we don't agree on either one of those, on february 8, the democrats have to agree to another c.r. to keep government open again. if that happens, senator mcconnell will put on the floor a bill that everybody can offer amendments to dealing with daca but dealing with all the other issues pertaining to immigration. now that's what i heard him say. >> i got you. do you know where the president is on these issues and has he been helpful to you in your process? >> i do not know where the president is. i don't think we should wait for the president presumably he's thinking it through, he's watching to see what we're doing. the executive branch, as you
5:29 am
well know, is separate from the legislative branch and it's our job to fund government and keep government open and i don't think we ought to spend a lot of time waiting to hear from the president. he'll weigh in when with he's ready to weigh in. i understand the democrats' concern is, will the president sign a bill if it passes the senate and will the house of representatives pass it, but nobody can make a guarantee like that. there are no guarantees in terms of a bill passing. that's unrealistic. >> so let's just try and get some of the ground rules straight here. the president had started all this by saying he wants a bill of love. he wants to help the d.r.e.a.m.ers. i don't understand how if you're worried about the d.r.e.a.m.ers and what's going on with them on a daily basis in terms of increased anxiety and uncertainty in their lives, why would you attach anything else to that proposition? >> well, i don't know what the president's thinking. it's clear to me he changed his
5:30 am
mind and as i've said before that's not an unusual circumstance for him or anybody else. all of us change our minds on occasion. >> i get you. i'm just saying if the republicans are taken at their word, most of you say, not in the house, in the senate, most of you say, these d.r.e.a.m.ers are different. they're doing the right thing. they're working, law-abiding. they're adding to us. we'll lose a ton of money if we don't have them. why attach a wall to that? if you want to protect them, protect them and then negotiate all these other aspects of an immigration system that needs fixing? >> it's not just the wall, first. let's supposed to that the president said and he hasn't, that in return for some sort of daca amnesty he will get a wall. >> but why is there an a"and"? >> i don't think that would be -- >> why not just deal with daca?
5:31 am
why is there any and? >> i don't think that will pass. >> why not? >> because i think the majority of the senate wants to consider daca along with other issues pertaining to immigration. that's why i've said -- i like what senator mcconnell proposed to do last night. i thought it was a step forward. i've said for about a week now that what we ought to do is wave all the arcane senate rules and just put some sort of instrument on the floor and let's debate it and let everybody offer as many amendments as they want to offer. we can start early, stay late, go seven days a week and let's see what comes out. now that's the way democracy is supposed to work. i know that's unusual for the senate. they're these arcane rules that date back to moses but we can waive those rules by mutual consent. >> right. the democrats say that they
5:32 am
don't trust that mcconnell if they give their consent to a continuing resolution, stop the shutdown, they don't trust that mcconnell will have an ernst debate. you can give all the amendments you want but the majority controls what amendments make it into the bill. >> i don't know what to do about that. i don't speak for senator mcconnell. perhaps -- to me if he says it publicly and he changes his mind, he's going to have a lot of explaining to do and i don't think mitch would do that, but i understand the distrust. there's a lot of distrust. >> mcconnell says we'll have it in good faith, we understand that the d.r.e.a.m.ers deserve attention and then the president puts out an ad saying that basically the immigrants are coming to kill you and today he says either you're for american citizens or you're for illegal entrance. >> i didn't think the ad was helpful but that's just my opinion.
5:33 am
in terms of senator mcconnell, i take him at his word. i understand there's mistrust, but one thing he can't do is guarantee that this particular bill will pass. maybe that can -- maybe that's the way it works in the house but in the senate it does not work that way. >> i hear you. >> and in the meantime, the american people are sitting here scratching their head. the ar dent republicans support the republicans, the ar dedent democrats support the democrats and everybody else out there in the america is kind of wondering how some people up here made it through the birth canal. why can't we just -- i mean, the american people paying $3 trillion a year in return for government services. >> right. >> that's 3,000 -- million will dollars a year and their government shut down and i don't think they're especially ennamered with any of us. >> that's true.
5:34 am
one of the things that unites the american people is their mutual dissatisfaction of what's going on in washington. the question is, what are you going to do about it and hope you start cherry picking points of agreement and start getting something going on? we will stay on the process and the specifics and senator kennedy you are helpful in that record thank you for joining us. >> thanks, chris. all right. so tonight in primetime the man at the center of the shutdown is motorcycle mulvaney. he has to put into effect shutdown. how does he make the case? 9:00 p.m. eastern. >> i think that's a collective sigh. give us answers. get the government open. >> they are in a bad place because this has become tribal. you see the president's tweets this morning. there's nothing in that that will engender consensus. so we have a lot ahead. our senate democrats who
5:35 am
5:36 am
5:37 am
you can't use that was a clever way of saying we don't really want the wall to be built. >> that's marc short moments ago right here on new day. is he giving you a fair statement of what's going on right now and is there any chance of an agreement to reopen the federal government any time soon? joining us now is democratic senator high did i heitkamp of north dakota. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> the audience understands you are one of the red states democratic senator. you were in favor of keeping the government open. you just heard what the legislate krif director said, marc short, is that the holdup, are the democrats playing cute with what they say they want versus what they'll fund? >> i actually don't think so. when you look at it there's money that's been offered for the border wall but also for surveillance and the increased technology, especially at the points of entry. the thing about border security is when you actually sit down with dhs and talk about what their plan is, it's eminently reasonable and every senator
5:38 am
should do that and so i think that this is -- this is kind of the pawn on the chessboard to avoid a real discussion about the d.r.e.a.m.ers and so i'm for border security. i've been briefed on the plan. i think they have a good plan and i think that we all could get behind it. >> it's a good point you raise, senator. not great for the democrats. why would you give trump the wall and the political win because he's going to call it a wall, no matter what it is, i delivered on the wall, the mexico part, who knows what happens with that but why? if you have the leverage right now with the shutdown, why would you compromise your goal of helping the d.r.e.a.m.ers as a stand alone and then negotiate all these other things? >> well, actually, there's a misnomer and there's constant discussion that democrats don't believe in security, border security. every person who has looked at the plan from dhs never mind the rhetoric, never mind the white house, let's deal with the professionals and the professionals have a plan we can
5:39 am
all get behind that is actually criminal proves structures but also uses technology and to my point, puts more beef on the points of entry where most of the very dangerous and hard drugs are coming through. and so we've got a plan for border security that includes the northern border, the -- the maritime borders and the southwest border. we ought to fund it and that's what we did in the proposal which is give the president exactly what he asked for in '18. >> where is chuck schumer this morning in terms of which way he wants you guys to go? >> i don't know. we're going to meet again. the common sense caucus which is a group that we pulled together, susan collins pulled together in '13 that was instrumental in putting the government -- getting the government back to work in '13. we've been meeting all weekend. we've grown in numbers. we're about 23 senators right now and i think this is -- this is a path forward. one of the problems that we have, chris, is i think we all
5:40 am
know what needs to be done but trust is so distorted here and it's been lost in the ongoing discussions and in the hard ball politics that gets played in this town, we need to rebuild that trust and i think that one thing that this group of 20 plus senators can do is begin to dialogue and to begin building that trust so that we can get government functioning again. >> is the president helping or hurting? >> you know i think at this point -- i wouldn't say he's ir. the president is always relevant to discussions, the senate has to get its house in order and the senate has to come up with a plan and i think that's where the focus is been is making sure that as a group, as a deliberative body that we are putting forth a proposal that can get 60 votes to reopen government. >> he shapes not only the perspective of his own party but the american people as well. the american people who while they overwhelming want to help d.r.e.a.m.ers they want the government to be open and this
5:41 am
morning he is tweeting that the reason you guys, the democrats, are shutting down the government is because you're playing to a far left base and you're powerless against them and that you are choosing the rights and interests of legal entrance over american citizens. >> one thing i know, chris, is that the american public wants us to work together. i wouldn't be standing here if that weren't true. democrat from a red state who came here saying let's work together. anything that divides us at this point does not offer constructive path forward it's not particularly helpful and it's white noise and so we need to be very clear that the senate as a body, as a legislative body, has an obligation and we need to build the trust to move this -- these issues forward and it's not just about d.r.e.a.m.ers. it's about central states pensions, it's about chip, it is about funding caps and making sure our military has the funding they need. it's about getting back to regular order and actually
5:42 am
appropriating as opposed to c.r.s which just kick the can down the road. it's interesting because one of the things the president hasn't talked about which is the pentagon tweeted out on friday, they don't want c.r.s. c.r.s are damaging for the military and so let's -- let's build the support and i think leadership comes in all forms and it doesn't have to just come from the white house. let's lead in the senate, let's get it done and have a path forward. >> words to the american's ears. let's see if they can be delivered on. we'll be tracking it. thank you for weighing in with us this morning. >> thank you, chris. show of anger this morning among arab-israeli lawmakers on the floor during a speech by vice president mike pence. look what broke out. the details of what was behind this next.
