tv   Lockup New Mexico--- Extended Stay  MSNBC  January 21, 2018 9:00pm-10:01pm PST

9:00 pm
a good evening, i'm richard lui at msnbc headquarters. it's 10:00 p.m. on the east coast. we're nearing the second day of a government shutdown, actually the third day, but there is some hope on the horizon, a scheduled vote for noon tomorrow in the senate. that's what new this hour. that will likely determine whether the government will reopen. senator mitch mcconnell made the announcement in the last hour or so on the senate floor. >> should these issues not be resolved by the time the funding bill before us expires on
9:01 pm
february 8, 2018, assuming that the government remains open, it would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address daca, border security, and related issues. it is also my intention to take up legislation regarding increased defense spending, disaster relief, and other important matters. the shutdown should stop today. >> now, after mcconnell's announcement right there. the number two senate republican rb john cornyn told reporters he was optimistic about the vote to happen tomorrow. this while senator minority leader chuck schumer said he went to the microphones thereafter, no agreement has been reached. take a listen. >> i am happy to continue my discussion with the majority leader about reopening the
9:02 pm
government. we've had several conversations, talks will continue. we have yet to reach an agreement on the path forward acceptable to both sides. >> let's go to nbc's case see hunt. holding a marathon. i now know you have a very important discussion ahead of you, because senator jeff flake also took to the floor as well. >> that's right. it's gracious of you to share a few minutes of your time with us. because senator flake did come over here to explain a little bit of this. you described it as a shuttle diplomacy over the last few days, you lindsey graham, saying you'll side with the majority leader. >> the majority leader did two things, one he decide today move it up a week later. >> a week of the government funding. >> yes. . we want add shorter c.r., it
9:03 pm
will be on the 8th of february it runs out. two he agreed to move to an immigration bill if we don't reach agreement by that time on daca and other related issues. >> you think that's a significant commitment. >> i do. before that i received an agreement on the tax bill on immigration. but it became conditional on the president supporting that proposal. we haven't seen the white house settle on any pro po sal so the senator wasn't going to move forward. and now, we're going to be the senate, move ahead and deal with the house and the white house. >> where do you think democrats are right now? is chuck schumer happy with this? is his caucus happy with this? >> i know they would have liked more of a commitmentcommitment, like a motion to proceed. >> essentially the senate floor would take a step in public
9:04 pm
before february 8th? >> yes. the problem is unless you finish the immigration bill before february 8th, then when we have to deal with the next shutdown, february 8th, that kick it is bill off the senate calendar. and you can only bring it back -- >> so there are a lot of procedural hurdles there. >> yes, we want to start the immigration bill and finish the immigration bill. >> what does that mean for where schumer is now going to talk to members of his caucus, is it your sense they're going to be receptive to this? >> i think some will, and some remain reluctant. five democrats voted to keep the government open. >> you need seven more? >> i believe that's it. lindsey and i voted to have the shorter time frame, we're going to vote yes. we believe that this commitment is significant. and i hope we have enough so we can open the government back up. >> behind the scenes are
9:05 pm
democrats feeling the pressure? are they taking the blame for the shutdown that they're having trouble communicating? >> i don't know. both sides are saying we're getting the better of that, but nobody wants to test it when it really matters, the first of the week. on the weekend, the effects are muted. but on monday they start to be felt. i don't know that anybody really wants to test that for any side to say that the other side is going to get the blame. i don't think they really know. >> do you know where the president is? has anybody talked to him about whether he could support going forward in this way? >> i don't know. we're saying regardless of where the president is, we're going to move ahead. we'd like to work out a deal with the president before the 8th, that would be best and put that deal on the senate floor. but if that can't happen we're not going to say we can't move. what we don't want to do with regard to daca is get to march 5th, where you have to jam some
9:06 pm
solution through -- >> at that point kids are losing their jobs, potentially losing their status. >> that's correct. and then you'd have some legislative equivalent to daca, which would be kons constitutio but not any more certain for the kids, could they become citizens what happens with their parents. >> what would the house need? would they need the president to sign on? >> i think in order for the house to pass something, the president is going to have to sign on. i think if the senate passes legislation with 60 or 70 vote, it has to be 60 votes to pass the senate, i believe we can get more than that, i think then the president will say what he did in the famous meeting we had a couple weeks ago, i'll sign it, i'm flexible here. and i think if he gets behind it, the house can pass it as
9:07 pm
well. >> do you think stephen miller and john kelly will blow this up. >> i think there are certain members in the house and senate that won't go with it, i think there are certain aides in the house that won't go along with this. what matters is whether the president is. that doesn't matter in terms of the senate process, but it does matter in terms of the house process. i think he'll find a way to do it. >> senator jeff flake, thank you for running over here tonight. richard lui if you're still on the other side there, i'm going to toss it back to you. i know you and i share michigan, but i have to throw in a fly eagles fly, i missed it at the end of my hour. >> what a night, kassie, i appreciate it. host of kcdc. let's bring in garett hague, who's also covering the story
9:08 pm
for us. and jeff bill. >> i want to start with you garrett, what's your reflection, you were doing the play by play as i was watching you on air the last two days. is this a step forward based on what you saw from mcconnell just within the last hour? >> it absolutely is a step forward. even the speech from mcconnell alone was a marked change in tone. every speech in the leadup to the shutdown has been to throw democrats under the bus and blame chuck schumer for the shutdown. this was the first time he has given democrats an off ramp, here's what i'm willing to do different to make it end. you would be encouraging this type of tactics used in the future. democrats could say we're going
9:09 pm
to who would for anything we don't like to get what we want going forward. they didn't sooe want to see a substantive giveaway by the majority leader. instead you see mitch mcconnell saying, i will commit to dealing with these things on the floor of the senate, not to a specific bill, not to guarantee their passage. not to attach them to things. but to say i'm willing to let the senate be the senate and discuss the issues. the question that hangs before us now hangs before senate democrats. is that in and of itself good enough or between tonight and noon tomorrow or as far along as thoe they want to take it, do they need the same thing from speaker rin ryan or president trump that he would support them. do they need the graham durbin be a bill they can sign on to.
9:10 pm
that would be the possibility in the next 24 hours, tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. is a good spot to circle on your calendar. the democrats are going to meet and at the same time scheduled right now that bipartisan group of senators we've been watching over the last two days they're also going to meet to talk about this. if it's those six or seven votes that jeff flake was talking about they're coming off out that bipartisan meeting. i don't expect to see some of the democrats be part of that. but there might be some that say enough is enough. >> your math is spotless, my friend, despite staring at the camera. >> jeff to the you, you heard what was asked to senator flake, if if it comes down to the house, if the senate does move
9:11 pm
forward with what mitch mcconnell just described on the floor about an hour ago, will it be a president donald trump that needs to get behind this before the house then signs off on what mitch mcnnell is suggesting sneer. >> it could be the case. the white house has been the wild card here for a while. you have democrats and some republicans, including majority leader mitch mcconnell, saying he didn't know what the president would agree to or what he would sign off on, and, of course, we know the president has his own hard line views on immigration and tonight a senior administration official tells national weather service news th -- nbc news that the president's chief of staff john kelly and stephen miller have worked to torpedo the immigration deal that chuck schumer thought he walked away with on friday with president
9:12 pm
trump. that's what we're waiting to see how receptive people in president trump's orbit might be to the outline of this deal coming together. the president has been criticized for being a passive player in this. i can tell you, we're told president wanted to give senators time and space to hash out the deal. >> will the tuesday, thursday, donald trump show up and in this case will the monday donald trump be different than those other two. jeff on this very point, any indication in terms of response from the white house as you look over to the residence to your side, are the lights still on? >> hold on. from my advantage point i can't entirely tell. we're told the president has spent much of the day here at the white house monitoring the developments. but again we haven't seen him all weekend. apart from some photos the white house took and released to the
9:13 pm
press. we haven't seen him or heard him, besides getting a peek in his mind via twitter feed. i'm sure we'll get tweets before the vote tomorrow. but the question is how much of a complicating factor is the president in the deal as it comes together. >> jeff and garrett thank you so much. we have many more questions and nuances to what will be happening in the next 24 hours -- or 14 hours. let's bring in john gar men dy of california on the house side. you have been part of the discussions going back and forth as you look over to the other house, to the senate, what's your releks on what may have happened or what will happen in the next 14 hours. hink>> i t we're getting closer finally get this issue of immigration, large and small,
9:14 pm
daca as well as the larger immigration issues on the floor of the senate. that's good. i think they're going to need to go a little bit further. clearly there is going to be negotiated first in the senate. the big question i have is what can you get through the house? the house is a conservative operation. been trying to put together some folks on the house, some conservatives and some interested in the daca deal to try to talk early on about what is the art of the possible here. >> what is the art of the possible, sir? >> we're going to be see. there were three different plans that had been put together over the last several months. if you look at those plans and lath laythem out, you'll see there are opportunities. i think we can get there, i really do. we have to. the public needs to deal with it and we have to get the government funded. >> as it stands, representative, when you hear what mitch mcconnell is saying, similar to
9:15 pm
rand paul's suggestion earlier, let's put in writing we will discuss this issue of immigration, daca as well as chain migration and other elements, the wall for instance, lay out a day by day or date by date schedule, in black and white, is that enough for the folks on the other side of the aisle for you. >> there's better than we had, but there's still a big question mark, where is the president on this? and he bet r be signing a document because he's been a fault line in the negotiation process. >> before this bill comes to pass here, and it hits the house, it is going to need donald trump, the president, coming down and saying i support this, and then maybe
9:16 pm
i think he's going to have to be a leader otherwise you have very conservative folks and people heat odd this entire immigration over in the house of representatives, so that is a problem. but the senate should be very aware of the mistake the house made. the house republicans did not negotiate with the democrats at all on this continuing resolution. so it went over to the senate really without any democratic support. we don't need that coming back to the house. we've got to have an early discussion, make sure there's some signoff among some of the key players in the house of representatives. >> what are some of the discuss that happened in the last hour, what are some of the nuances going back and forth, either right to left or two respective parties in the house? >> i just really can't tell you
9:17 pm
that. i can kind of guess about what's going on. obviously there were 20 senators working together. they're working on some detail that's critically important at the top leadership level. i think it's a matter of nailing down some of the details so there's absolute assurance there will be a vote and some clear outline oswhat will be in that. >> is this enough for you, sir? putting it now in schedule, would you vote for this? >> we don't know what it is, but i want this over. this is a very serious problem. in california we have people dieing because of the influenza. and at the same time we have the center for disease control shut down. we know there are some 40 clinics in california not operating. they'll be the ones as the flu hits my state. that's one of the many problems we have to get the government back operating. >> you're going to wait to get more detail, you cannot support
9:18 pm
it based on what you heard from mitch mcconnell so far, we're going to put it in the schedule february 8th, if we've not reached a solution we'll put it in calendar. >> that's nice words. this is not going to start in the house of representatives, this is a senate action right now. if they get their act together and get some detail, even though it may not be the final version, i suspect there will be plenty of votes in the house of representatives, there were before. >> california representative thank you so much from california, democrat john germandi, i thank you for stopping by. >> my pleasure. we have more reaction to what happened an hour ago. bottom line, the 1:00 in the morning, the proposed vote for mitch mcconnell now pushed to tomorrow. that's what has changed if you're just joining us on msnbc,
9:19 pm
more reaction and what this might mean when we come back. ead of your brother. hey. oh. that's my robe. is it? you could save seven hundred eighty two dollars when liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance. my bladder leakage was making me feel like i couldn't spend time with my grandson. now depend fit-flex has their fastest absorbing material inside, so it keeps me dry and protected. go to depend.com - get a coupon and try them for yourself. the winter of '77.uring i first met james in 5th grade. we got married after college. and had twin boys. but then one night, a truck didn't stop. but thanks to our forester, neither did our story. and that's why we'll always drive a subaru.
9:20 pm
but some of us make somethinge make sommuch more. dinner. mom would be proud. with blue apron, any night is a chance to see what cooking can do.
9:21 pm
9:22 pm
government shutdown just in the last hour we had a new development, that's mitch mcconnell, coming to the floor and now suggesting again a new option here, perhaps the democrats agreeing to it at the moment. the minority leader, chuck schumer, saying no, that is not what we want at this time. we'll have to wait until tomorrow. the 1:00 a.m. original vote that was to happen in the senate is now being moved to noon tomorrow. this will give about 14 hours of d digestion on both sides. let's start with you, leann, give us what this wrinkle is. how big of a wrinkle is it and
9:23 pm
is it big enough for the democrats? >> well, i think that even though the senate adjourned today with no finality, no outcome, the government is going to enter its third day of shutdown, i think there's still some progress being made. i think a lot of the reason that schumer objected to holding a vote tonight is he still needs to go talk to his fellow democrats to see if this proposal is okay and if this is enough for them and if they can squeeze out a little bit more from the majority leader between now and tomorrow, senate democrats are holding a conference tomorrow morning to discuss. i'm talking to a lot of senate democratic aides and they say they don't know exactly what is in the bill yet, or the proposal, this so called deal, so they're not willing to go along with it until they hear the details directly from their
9:24 pm
leader. >> michael, i laid out over the last 20 minutes or so how we originally had a calendar of what was going to be changed because you were o'hare with cassie hunt for many an hour, were you surprised by mitch mcconnell and what he offered up? >> no. i think this may not yet been b the beginning of the end but it's certainly the beginning of the end for the shutdown. the sides are talking, they're making progress. they don't have an agreement yet the republicans are starting to come back on board, we'll have to see if the democrats come on board. but the agreement to push the deadline by a period of hours makes it seem as though we're not there yet but we could be reopening the government at noon tomorrow. >> part of the move potentially here is that we were facing hundreds of thousands of people waiting for that 1:00 a.m. vote, and we're talking about federal employees. some state employees potentially
9:25 pm
affected too because of pass through federal funded so they wanted to get it done earlier so folks could go to sleep. as you look at the next step, noon tomorrow, what's going to happen between now and then. >> first i want to say i have a lot of federal employee friends texting me all night say be what's going to happen, do i go to work tomorrow? as of now they don't. what happens between now and then, i think they're going to go home and sleep, it's been a long weekend, a long week people are tired, eating a lot of bad food, but the senate democrats are going to gather tomorrow to see if this is something they can support. they're talking about daca and d.r.e.a.m.ers but there are other issues they want commitment on, opioid funding, disaster aid, puerto rico aid, stabilization for the insurance
9:26 pm
market. there's a host of issues that republicans and democrats haven't agreed on that are outstanding from the past year. they're going to go and huddle and see if it's enough. we have to watch these red state democrats, this group of ten who are up for re-election in 2018 in states that trump won. these are the ones who are going to perhaps get this over the finish line while leaving room for more of the liberal senators to not have to vote for it. so it's this middle plank, these moderates that we have to watch. >> rule 7 democrats move to the other side of it. michael, who blinked in this back and forth, do you believe? >> i think democrats found they were not on as strong ground as they thought they were. this is a lesson republicans learned in 2013, there is overwhelming public support for dealing with the issue created by the d.r.e.a.m.ers, people
9:27 pm
want to help these folks who came here through no fault of their own. at the same time there's very little support for shutting down the government to get a resolution on the issue. so we're going to go back to a continuation of the bipartisan talk on the immigration reform, spending bill, and the other issues that leann discussed. thank you for staying what is it, hour four in this latest version of our coverage on msnbc. cannot appreciate both of your perspectives that we've been able to enjoy throughout the evening. hopefully you'll be back in our next hour and a half as we'll be here looking at the reaction from across the country. we want to get straight to the issue after we take a short break. daca, and that has been the political football in this continuing resolution to either open the government again or keep it closed now for its third

9:31 pm
government shutdown now as we get closer to a day number three, but we've had a development, if you're just joining us here, at the bottom of the hour, in the last hour and 15 minutes, mitch mcconnell coming to the floor and offering a new scenario here. and this is that they would open the government until february
9:32 pm
8th, at which time if the discussion on the issue of daca was not resolved they would put it into calendar in regular order to discuss after that fact. the question is, all w all of that happening is that enough to reopen the government? for hundreds of thousands of employees not going to work tomorrow to go to work on day 4. as mch mcconnell came to the floor and offered this up and you looked at chuck schumer's response because he came to the floor thereafter and said we're not going to vote on it an hour later from now, we have to wait till tomorrow. is it because there's an issue of trust here? will the democrats, schumer, as well as his caucus, will they follow along and go with mitch mcconnell here? >> it is an issue of trust and i thought it was pretty telling that senator schumer immediately rejected to having a vote in an hour after that, because it
9:33 pm
meant he needed to go back to his caucus and they needed time as a group to decide if they take the deal. the question they have to ask themselves is do they trust mitch mcconnell to follow through on these couple promises he made in order to start debate on daca measures, security related measures before february 8th. i talked to senator flake earlier tonight he said one of the hiccups was whether they'll have to deal with government funding at the time, table a resolution and get back into immigration after that, which would take a lot of time and bring us closer and closer to the march 5th deadline. so these are things the democrats are going to have to consider when they decide to get on board with this tomorrow morning. >> from what you're able to see, you being there on the hill there, all we could see from our cameras, from the c-span supplied videos was the republican leaders on the
9:34 pm
right-hand side of our screen and mitch mcconnell going up and putting out what i was just describing. how much outside of the republican leadership did he canvas before coming up to the microphone that you know of? >> well, we do know that he met with senator schumer off the senate floor earlier this evening for a short time, but also a group of around 22 senators from both parties met earlier in the afternoon to sort of draft what would be a proposal that republicans could take to their leader and democrats could take to their leader. i spoke with john cornyn, the number 2 republican in the senate, and he shot down a firm commitment on february 8th because it gives the democrats a political win and rewards them for shutting down the government. so it comes down if the democrats can trust mitch
9:35 pm
mcconnell, he doesn't have a good history of doing that. senator flake sported a bill and it was contingent on getting daca. also senator susan collins got a promise last month about votes on affordable care act stabilization bills and they never came to fruition either. so mitch mcconnell's promises i think democrats have to decide whether they're going to trust them in the end. >> and will they be black and white in what they're voting on the c.r. they need 7 democrats, who do you think if it goes to vote? >> you have the moderate senators from red states up for reelection this year that are going to vote for any sort of continuing resolution, like the one they voted for a couple days ago. but you gearing to see more moderate senators get on board
9:36 pm
who are getting worried about what the democrats' end game is here. i think a lot of folks are getting worried they might be getting the blame for the shutdown in the end. it's going to come down to whether they have the numbers in a small number of democrats to get them over that 60-vote threshold tomorrow is going to do it. >> andrew, thank you for stopping by and giving us your reporting there. speaking of who might, at least on the left, when we look at the senate, any democratic senator that may move over and support what mitch mcconnell has suggested an hour and 15 minutes ago. let's go to senator jeff merkley of oregon. you voted no initially. would you vote yes to this? >> i think it's doubtful right now because we haven't seen anything that puts any solid foundation under a pathway to
9:37 pm
pursue fairness and justice for our community members who had their legal status ripped out from under them by president trump. >> you heard what senator mcconnell is suggesting. 's saying, i will put it, basically, on regular order here if we do not come to a solution by the february 8th, the end of the c.r., is that enough for you? >> no. no. it's sure not. there has to be a pathway that is nailed down much better, because mcconnell's version of regular order simply means he controls the place and he does what he wants. and he has preached about regular order and previously that meant he wouldn't lockup the amendment box so people would have a chance to do amendments, apart from reconciliation, we basically had no amendments throughout 2017 from the democrats. he's proceeded to just -- for
9:38 pm
example, shutdown our ability to have a bipartisan vote on keeping the government open for three days during negotiations. he sealed the deal on the trump shutdown and then he blames democrats when he's the person who made the shutdown happen. so there's very little trust if the old saying goes your word is your bond, we haven't seen mcconnell ever stand up for his promises. >> that's what andrew was just saying. you know tomorrow is the day where hundreds of thousands of federal employees will not be going to work. this is where the rubber does hit the road for a majority of federal employees and some departments we're seeing 50 to 90% of those employees not going to work and being furloughed tomorrow. what do you say to some of those -- i was just reading the san antonio express, for instance, not from your state but those who are reflecting saying, those are two different
9:39 pm
issues. why are we closing down the government -- we do care about daca as a citizen, as a resident of texas, but why are we putting those two issues together? that's what some americans are saying? >> i would say they should be very angry with the president. he bragged about want ago shutdown, he created the shutdown. he didn't intervene with mitch mcconnell when we put forward let's keep the government open, mitch mcconnell blocked that and you have to assume, therefore, that the president was behind blocking it as well. so they should be very upset with this president and this republican team which took these issues, including our community health centers, funding to take on the opioid epidemic, our c.h.i.p. program, thing that is should have been done before the end of the fiscal year in september, but the republicans said, no, it's too important to pursue a health bill that would
9:40 pm
destroy health care for 30 million americans and it's too important to have a tax bill to rip off the treasurer and give money to the richest americans, so we won't bother governing on things like health care for our communities, our children and opioid treatment. and enough is enough. the republicans have shut the government down. they need -- they're in charge of everything. and they need to be held accountable for it. >> senator, as we look at some of the reactions so far in the headlines, and you see some of them. i know you're busy on an evening like this so we appreciate you stopping by. i'll go to politico, they are saying, one of the headlines, is that the republicans have been able to stay united in the messaging on this very shutdown. are democrats being able to also stay united? is the momentum now shifting towards the republicans saying it's a democratic problem?
9:41 pm
it's their fault? >> well, i can't say democrats are very good on staying united on messaging. but the facts are the facts. the only person who's bragged about a shutdown is the president. the only person who said it's a cool thing is his director of office of management and the budget. the only person who insisted and sealed the deal was the republican head of the senate to refuse to allow what would have easily passed for a three-day continuing resolution if it came to a vote. so all i can say is i hope the american people are paying attention to who's in charge and causing this to happen and why. please understand the reason the republicans want to drive a wedge between this bill and the issue of addressing our community members who have had their legal status destroyed by the president is because they know that if a bill is passed in the senate, that it's standing
9:42 pm
alone -- there's no path for that to get to the house to the oval office. so it's a very, very deeply cynical assault on our community members who are legal now, but are losing their legal status with nowhere to go, no other country, no other language, they're contributing members of our community and it's just a shameful terrible act by the republicans against our fellow legal residents. >> we'll see hopefully at some point what senator mcconnell is suggesting in that he will have a schedule to bring up all these related issues to immigration, daca, chain migration, et cetera. because like you were saying the devil is in the detail for both sides of this. when we remove that for a second and look at the political football, which this is. haven't the democrats gotten what they need for 2018, for june, july, august, post
9:43 pm
primari primaries, when the members have to go back to the house, they did stand up for daca during the continuing resolution debate? >> well, you know, this isn't about positioning for the elections. this is about fair treatment of legal residents who are contributing to our communities. and if we can hammer out a path where there is a completely legitimate process on the senate floor, then fine, but if it is a promise that simply is mcconnell saying once more well, some day something will happen if i decide to make it happen, that simply doesn't buy it. he's broken too many of those commit ms previoments previousl. and by the way, we need to have some strategy to say for this to be legitimate, it has to -- if it passes the senate, it has to get a vote in the house. we all remember 2013, bipartisan
9:44 pm
comprehensive immigration bill would have passed easily in the house, but the house leadership wouldn't bring it up. >> senator jeff merkley of oregon, a democrat and saying no based on what you understand from what we've heard from mitch mcconnell, you will not support what mitch mcconnell was throwing out there on the floor about an hour and a half ago. thank you so much. i know it's getting late there and a lot of folks are running around on the hill. so thank you, sir. >> you're very welcome. we're going to take a short break. when we come back we'll dig into what are the nuances related to immigration policy, what are the recipients or d.r.e.a.m.ers, recipients of daca, what are they saying in reaction to what mitch mcconnell has just suggested? we'll get some recent reporting on that. stay with us. i accept i don't conquer the mountain like i used to. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib,

a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but whatever trail i take, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis ask your doctor about eliquis. ♪ because um, i've been meaning to talk to you, uh oh.

here on msnbc as we cover the break news tonight at 10:47 eastern time. this is that mitch mcconnell has now a new deal that he's pushed out. we have been discussing the nuances of it all evening. the very topic at issue has been daca. let's bring in nbc news.com contributor raul raiz. and you see what the senator the majority leader suggested here. in this is not that the issue of daca recipients. 700,000 some odd. are now -- that's going to be extended. he did not say that. he's merely saying that now come up to february 8 if we have not hammered out an agreement between both sides we will then put in calendar, in regular order is what we're hearing, the very topic that are of concern. is that going to be enough? >> it really depends on when we're talking about being pragmatic or being theoretical. the way i describe where we are
9:49 pm
now instead of kicking the can down the road like both parties have around this issue. they're kicking the can down the road a shorter distance. >> right. three weeks. >> because so much is going to depend on say, the parameters of any type of discussion. who even for example who is eligible for daca. because when we talk about daca or the d.r.e.a.m.ers, remember there's a difference. you have people brought here illegally as children. then you have the d.r.e.a.m.ers, who made the cutoff. and beneath that is the subset of the 800,000 people who applied for and were granted daca. people who are affected, people at the center of this, are wondering, would this include me? are they going to expand parameter. we were saying earlier the people say they are very concerned. they are concerned because on one hand they are so happy they're thrilled the democrats stood up for them. and responded and willing to go
9:50 pm
to bat over the shutdown. on the other hand they see the poll numbers. they know the 80% who support them, they see the numbers from the cnn poll that says a majority of americans don't think it's worth shutting the government down over. and recognize that say the longer this goes off, that this could go on, the table could turn. and i was looking at some -- >> are they worried the tide will turn? that is pushed too far? and at least for now, the majority that supports them and their community might go the other way? >> yes. and one reason is, when you look at conservative media on fox news and radio, they are framing the question bluntly. they say why should we shut down the government for undocumented people? and when you put it that way for people who are not d.r.e.a.m.ers or do not have a personal connection to the issue, i think there's a lot of american who is might start waivering. one thing i believe is heartening for them is just over

the last 24 hours, we've seen stephen miller as one who keeps injecting poison pills and killing deals. >> lindsey graham intimated as much. >> the fact that republicans are saying it, gives them hope maybe he'll be edged out. because he has a long history of an immigration hard liner. now he's he has a on the inner circle. >> i'm looking at chuck todd's reporting today. he was laying out why this community is going to be so important in 2018. it's been said before but especially now with all the other from the trump administration built up to today. we have the women's march that happened this weekend, for two days. now a second year in a row. when you lock at the number of districts, 52 for instance. gop districts. have 17.8% more latino american
9:52 pm
voters in them. he said 21% or more have latino voters. it may not poll. but when it comes to pulling the lever, it may e ner jazz them. >> a lot of activists like to say they are hopeful very hopeful that 2018 we'll see record turnout by latinos in the election. and typically they underperform in the off presidential years. that is all theoretical. between now and when we get to 1:00 tomorrow. noon tomorrow. there will be a lot of back and forth in seeing what they can nail down in terms of what the agreement might look like. who will be involved. it's remarkable to me that in a sense they're cutting the president out. they said, congress will deal with it and just send it to the president. that's bizarre to me they're speaking that way. >> senator tom cotton said that on meet the press today. thank you so much. always great to have you in the house. to reflect on the issues.
