>> well, we heard from many house conservative members today really balking that first and foremost, this is another short term measure. that there is not a budget right now. the fact they're continuing having to push these continuing resolutions, short term stop-gap measures to keep the government funded. and that they will have this fight another day. just another 28 days. a lot of pushback from conservatives concerned over the fund go for the military. that we heard from many senators over here. lindsey graham saying he is concerned about that and of course the thorniest issue is that this has been really entangled with the fight over immigration. the demands p.m. democrats had over immigration. the big question that many democrats are facing, will they get blamed if they will hold that line on immigration saying i won't vote for any government spending bill, short term or otherwise, if it does not address the demands over daca. >> thanks very much. president trump says time is running out for an immigration bill. let's to go jim acosta. he is at the white house for us. what are t

so democrats used to balk at republicans adding must have features in spending measure, are quite open when it comes to daca and everything like that included in a spending measure. who will win this? >> democrats and moderate republicans need to figure out if it is worth it to keep pushing something like daca as a spending bill or cave in order, not let another government shutdown happen. so i do think republicans are probably have the upper hand right now just because like i said it is an election year and people are not trying to have a government of the shut downright now. neil: there are couple things ahead of this meeting senior congressional leaders will both have with chief of staff john kelly, mick mulvaney over at omb. obviously from the white house point of view, they will read the riot act, there are limitations what we can do. when the president proposed a budget that was draconian because it would only increase spending by inflation rate, they said that was dead on arrival. now we come to an an agreement spending will increase at 7% clip and they're balking about that. >>

you can gets 3 out of 4 things that you want, you have to look at that as a win, democrats may still balk, they have dug their heels in chain migration, and no funding for the wall, and visa lottery program. this shows that white house is being reasonable in this negotiation in offering something. liz: if the democrats reject it, then what? >> back to square one. this going on too long in washington, they waited until 11th hour, and then extended. at some point i believe that the senate president, mitch mcconnell, will have to look long and hard about this thing that filibuster, maybe end that. so they can get something passed. they are not trying to steam roll the democrats, they are trying to be reasonable, it the democrats that are being unreasonable. liz: the vi vim break -- immigration problem has been decades in the making. president is trying to fix it. and also he wants to fix family migration issues. we know that terrorists have come in visa family migration policies and attacked innocent americans. what he is saying new citizen can only sponsor immediate families not outer circl

one of the things the president is not balking at is the immigration deal. he wants to go through. this was drafted by his close team, including steven miller, who he dubs his policy wonk on immigration. i can't say this will move it past the finish line. there will be negotiations and concession that's have to be made on the white house's part, the democrats' part. no one's going to walk away fully getting what they want. this is going to be the framework, i believe, that they're going to move forward on. and if they can't get an agreement on it, then daca, the recipients, the 600,000 to 700,000 will remain in legal limbo. >> dave and i were remarking that when a republican president gives a state of the union, you hear something about deficits. did not hear a whisper. this is what the "washington post" says was miss, "mr. trump did not mention many of the nation's biggest longer term threats, the fiscal crisis, threatens future generations. economic inequality is high. the world warns russia poses a threat to the elections. sadly, the morning after a long speech, none of this is

republicans are balking at that. proposing this short term continuing resolution. is there any middle ground, leeway ground? what are you hearing? >> the only middle ground at this point is if democrats can save face for themselves and say that progress is being made. so this week, i expect there will be more intense talks and you may see democrats coming out saying look, we feel ground is being gained here. we're getting more of what we want. they need to save face. their base is getting frustrated. this is the fourth short term spending bill. people that are in support of the dreamers are pressuring democrats saying you're not going to vote for another one of these things because time is returning out. there's the march deadline coming and they claim hundreds of so-called dreamers are losing their protected status every week. they're being pressured from their base. however, democrats alone will be responsible if the government shuts down. you know republicans always get blamed for this. democrats have had some comfort level thinking well, if we vote about it, th

even the most weak need of the republican leadership, i think would actually balk at that. maybe i'm hopeful they will stand up for the rule of law. yes, it would have to be for cause and first you would have to fire rosenstein. there would be quite a series of events that would have to happen and seems impossible to me. >> jennifer, if you're team mueller, what does it remind us? what is it you want to ask steve bannon? >> they want to ask steve bannon a lot of things. he was right there in the president's ear according to michael wolff's book you have contrary forces working in the white house but he was a powerful person talking to him and guiding him. so you just want to talk to him about a variety of things but the comey firing. i do think regardless of the fact that of course, ultimately, mueller wants to get behind the purpose of these firings and see what the russia collusion case is about, he's honing in on obstruction because it's a potentially clean, easier case to make in case he's fired or something happens. i think they will try to wrap it up first. they will

intimating there will be a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million many within his base have already balkedt that and been very critical. might that also be kind of a spring board who the president may change his mind at the last minute on that. >> the president said at the bipartisan meeting he will sign what congress sends to them. so i actually think that the president has a lot of flexibility in it. you can say that critically that you don't know what he wants, but i think the fact that he's not approaching it in a rigid manner i think that's an indication to congress he wants both parties to sit down and hammer something out. i want to emphasize that you're not talking about 1.8 million people because you allow the nuclear family to migrate in and so you really talk about 3 million people, even more than that perhaps. and that's where the debate is going to be. how do you define who that's going to be and how will it play with the base groups. the democrats might not feel like it's enough. and it is something with 3 million people is a lot of folks. we all have to admit that's why the

democrats are balking at that. they don't want to go near the policy changes like e verify that would require employers in the united states to certify that everyone that works for them has like a social security number or green card, is hear legally and controversial for democrats. they're saying no to those things and that's where the standoff is right now. interestingly enough, we'll see border wall money. it's a question of how much. >> shepard: do we know when sarah sanders said today by monday they'll come forward with a proposal, do we have any details on that proposal yet? >> you know, i just reached out to sources while i was here getting ready for this hit. still haven't heard back. i was looking at twitter and saw good reporters that have good intel tweeting that think think this idea will basically be a more scaled back version of what republicans have been -- or trump has been demanding at the white house. there's talk about pathway to citizenship for dreamers. that would be a huge deal for democrats i

. >> amy balk heads a san francisco nonprove that helps people with insurance.he believes the real reason disaster victims are required to do detail inventory is to reduce the amount insurance companies needs to pay out. >> they know that people will leave a lot of money on the table. >> only one company, safeco, say they play fire victims a 100% without written inventory. others pay but reduced as much as 75%. >> it was home. >> three months after the fires, holy said she has only been told to dot inventory. state farm is doing her two years when all she wants is to move on today. >> it is not just me. it is my neighbors. >> she's right. we checked with the california department of insurance. it told us hundreds of fire victims just like holly have complained about being forced to itemize everything they had in their home before their insurance company pays their claim. >> it is overwhelming. and we understand this. >> dave jones is california's insurance commissioner. he just issued this notice to insurance companies. urging them to wave their inventory requir

>> democrats balked claiming republicans were rushing through a half-baked bill to meet the president's artificial deadline. >> can you tell me what that word is? >> there's been a lot of criticism about last-minute additions and handwritten notes in the margins -- >> this bill was, you know, let's add in a special provision here or there. there's a reason that tax policy is hard. because it takes transparency. the last time it was done in a meaningful way, ronald reagan and a democratic congress took months, with months of hearings and lots of exposure of all the wa warts. none of that has happened here. >> but democrats could not stop the trump train. the first major tax overhaul in more than 30 years -- >> without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. >> passed the house. >> the tax cuts -- >> and senate. >> -- act is passed -- >> in late december. >> mitch, how about you start it. >> republicans were efuse 97 their praise of the president. >> it's been a year of extraordinary accomplishment for the trump administration. >> something this profound could not have

a lot of republicans are balking at some of the allowances on this. but again, it's expected to pass. a lot of anomalies here. chuck schumer was saying, this is rare for a party that has the unare of the town to shut the government down. he forgot a simple fact though. it has happened before with jimmy carter. three different times. we'll explain. when you look at the mercedes-benz glc... with its high-tech cameras and radar, contemporary cockpit, 360 degree network of driver-assist technologies and sporty performance what's most impressive about the glc? all depends on your point of view. lease the glc300 for $449 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. >> neil: all right. now looking live at the floor of the united states senate. by a simple majority vote, they got 81 to set this up, this is going to be pretty much a clear for take off thing we're told after it's approved here and expected to be. it goes to the house and then sometime later tonight, the government reopens. lessons from all of the above, larry

>> well, obviously there's still fiscal hawks and defense hawks balking at the idea of a short-term extension which provides no certainty to the pentagon. that is driving the opposition on the republican side. if you're a senate democrat up for reelection in a state trump won, you hope it never gets to counting your votes. it was held up by conservative republicans and therefore the whole mess is in their laps. they a are trying to assuage them in terms of the length of spending for defense and they get something over the line, it goes to the senate. at this point, the reporting is there is not nine democrats. , which leads to a government shutdown. when you listen to mitch mcconnell and senator graham, they repeatedly say we're not going to shut the government down. it is something not going to happen. i don't know what it is they would do to get there. if you're a democrat, you hope it gets bungled up on the house side. >> don't you think there is one other factor here, which is on the democratic side you have the joe manchin's in west virginia, a state that trump won where he said we don't

setting up situation to tack final report or maybe fire him and balking with things that mueller asks. what in the book rattled trump i don't know, could be steve bannon saying -- for sure hyperbowlic, but donald junior walked the russians up to office. i don't know if he knows or whatever, saying he didn't believe that donald trump didn't know about the meeting before or after. trump said he hasn't. air force one statement. i don't think that trump wants to testify under oath before bob mueller. >> putting finger on all of this. everybody knows tell-all books. may not be literal in the sense saying that literally donald trump jr. is an egg with yolk inside. what he's saying is at point that steve bannon was feeling comfortable to make these claims, he obviously as insider also sees something big and important about the trump tower meeting. what you're saying bill, what bannon said is so concerning and matters not because embarrassing or critical but seemed to reveal or suggest there is a there there. >> put together with behavior on air force one where he takes over and dictates a fa

says it plans to raef its immigration plan tomorrow, both hard line conservatives and liberals have balkedthat plan, at least from what we know of it so far. so what does the president need to say to get both of these groups on board? >> right now, there is actually nothing that president can say, except that if he were to change the numbers of the number of undocumented immigrants that he would give a pathway to citizenship to. right now 1.8 million undocumented immigrants are far too high for many of his base, as well as congressional republicans. you're looking at, obviously, a limitation to -- migration and that would end entirely. then $25 billion for the border wall is something that is actually probably a good thing for them. but if you're looking in this in terms of sports, donald trump winning the election is akin to going to the super bowl and with sarah westwood being from georgia, this is akin to the atlanta falcons basically giving up 25 points to the new england patriots and fumbling this opportunity, because immigration for them is a super bowl, stanley, world series, all wr
