, period, end of story. >> bill: is lindsey graham wrong then? >> yes, sir. >> bill: tom cotton says democrats are misrepresenting the good faith effort on behalf of the white house. how would you characterize that? >> that's a true statement. no one has asked mr. schumer the follow-up that needs to be asked. running around town saying he offered the president everything he wanted for the wall and everything he wanted for the military. the better question for mr. schumer as we try to prevent the schumer shutdown from going another day, did you really offer appropriated funds or did you just offer to authorize a building of a southern wall? there is already a southern wall authorized in 2006. voted for by mr. schumer. it has never been built because the funding has never been there. so i think senator cotton's representations there probably fairly accurate. >> bill: marc short said the relationship with democrats is likely deteriorating. the phrase he used is probably deteriorating. is that a fair characterization? >> the president is finally start

and also i have comments, public comment, about bill graham. his production and everything. because all that originated in the -- and history shows without a doubt bill graham came to my community and took away all the things a black man had, mr. sullivan. and now, on fillmore and gary street, i don't know if you have the same people there renting out the property, called the fillmore auditorium, no blacks, we go in there, we don't have no kind of benefits, so y'all talking about benefits over here, y'all ain't did jack frost. by the way, since i'm up here talking politically, all the politicians around here playing politics, politrick, i'm going to use this tv that you are watching, that i created, to do like what trump is doing. he's a master at what he's doing in that tv, i'm the master down here locally. and i'm going to use this until y'all give me my right to be in the media back there where there was no black media there yesterday, or the day before. all these blacks came in talking about racial and ginger, no, it was politics at its best. and i want to commend the su

i'd rather they be there then in front of bill graham or on the streets. you've convinced me. it's with that i would like to ask to make a motion, if i can, before our colleagues. i think we're going to be requested for some action to at least at this point support the final report or support the recommendation. i think there's a lot of work that has to happen. ab-186 is like bouncing back and forth there's a lot in the work plan, how many will use it, what's the cost, how many facilities, how many washing machines and do you put quarters in or is it free. that has to be worked out. as a place to start, i think the report as a basic recommendation, if people are willing today or do it next time i'd like to make a motion we consider it as a commitment to >> such a motion is out of order because it's not slated as an action item because we wanted to first receive the report. with the sentiment that's been discussed we will move forward to create a resolution that can be voted on working with staff to determine what would be the best way to be supportive as not only merely suppor

the part of some skeptics certainly in the united states and elsewhere derren got it thank you bill graham on weber's from now on the young technological university he says the talks could result in small compromises on both sides. i think we have to manage expectations about the talks that are going underway right now i mean certainly what needs to be discussed at some point in time i mean ideally at this very meeting they're looking at is what stands at the heart of tensions which is the ongoing nuclear weapons development program by north korea but i think having said that if both sides cannot get something as simple as the winter olympics right i don't think they can get anything else right going forward so therefore just focusing on on the more reachable outcomes the low hanging fruits which would be to have north korea participate in the winter olympics and then to leverage on that on that positive outcome i think would be the best way to go about dealing with the discussions on the way i think the talks will set the tone for twenty eighteen as to how the tensions are going to be man

lauren: josÉ, these are the senators working on the bill, graham, flake, gardner, durbun, menendez, endingthing that the president wanted, getting dreamers 3 to 10 years path to citizenship, right and grants green cards to people in the country under temporary protective status program and that, josÉ, is what set off the president reportedly and we got the vulgar comment. why is he so angry about that? >> look, i mean, i'm not surprised that the president says these types of comments when it comes to immigrants, he did this when he announced when he was running for president ch it's very sad, i'm not surprised. now what i am surprised is that the senate came up forward with this bipartisan deal and now the president is pushing back. i mean, he's got what he wanted, we are ending lottery visa and extending border security and extending daca, here is the bill of love, mr. president, let's get it signed and lets move it forward. lauren: john, just paw few days ago we had the bipartisan meeting with all lawmakers in a room talking about the president said, whatever these guys agree to, that's

will again host all annual earthquake safety at the bill graham civic auditorium, most likely in june, 2018, details will be forth coming, along with the save the date reminder from d.b.i. staff. and reminder to all deputies, managers, supervisors, keep an eye out for outstanding employee and select them, so employee quarter 12018 announcement winner at the april big meeting. thank you, madam secretary, that concludes my announcements. >> thank you. is there any public comment on item two, the president's announcements? item three, general public comment. public comment on matters in the commission's jurisdiction not part of this agenda. >> good morning. my name is mary anne bockers, my husband and i have resided in our home since 1989. i'm here today to bring the actions of a developer named ashall kural. he bought the home next to us, a steep hill and the houses abutt each other. the house the developer purchased was in bad shape. we on our neighbors tempted to work cooperatively with the developer. this did not work. we had to hire a lawyer and structural engineer. the developer si

they both support the graham-durbin bill. gentlemen, thank you for joining us. i know it's a busy morning. >> thank you. appreciate the opportunity stphrfp. >> angus, as of now, would you vote for the c.r. that is out there and floating around? >> no. and you mentioned the d.r.e.a.m. act. my frustration goes a lot deeper, chris. my issue, and i think mike agrees with me, i'm sick of voting for c.r.s. we have had five a year. this is the fourth this year. we have to close this escape hatch and stop voting for c.r.s and tell leadership they have to make their deals and we will get it done. to kick it down the road for another month, we're not going to know anything then that we don't know now. so i'm just through taking these half steps. this is a terrible way to try to govern. >> senator rounds? >> i agree with angus. that's the reason why i'm opposing it as well. we both want to see an immigration policy put together. the proposal lindsey has been working hard on may not be perfect but a step in the right direction. it's a vehicle we can use long term to fix a l

bill, lindsey graham's bill that's amnesty.'m more in the camp of labrador and goodlap bill which is in line more with the president and tom cotton. leland: i understand that, but the question is how are you going to get enough republicans in the house on the same page on this? for as many opinions as there are in the senate, there's a whole lot more in the house here. you guys don't seem to be on the same page yet. >> because there's not a common bill out there. you know, we've got the graham bill floated out there. you've got tom cotton's proposal and we've got the white house. if we sit down and build off the labrador bill that's going to be tweaked and will bring people together. leland: the labrador bill doesn't have a prayer in the senate. >> i disagree with that. leland: you're going to get nine democrats to vote for that? come on. >> and what's best for people here illegally, these a need to be best for-- >> congressman, it's a great talking point. that's not a talking point. that's what i was september sent there for.

bill in place. >> you flatly rejected the lindsey graham, dick durbin bill snnchts i thi . >> i think it's narrowed conversation, but in each of the categoririst we felt they did not go far enough. >> is the government is going to shut down? >> i don't think p so. we need to make sure our troops are funded, national security is funded, government employees are funded. >> in routers, it said the lindsey graham dick durbin compromise is the opposite of what he campaigned on, now you're saying that could be the basis for some sort of compromise. >> i think it's all four of the areas that need to be improved. the border security element is what we're still asking for. they presented a $33 billion plan of which 18 was physical structure. the durbin graham provided 1 year of funding. we're testing new propertotypesr the wall -- >> here's the problem, the simple majority i expect you can get it in the house. but in the senate you need 60, you have 51 republicans, you need a bunch of democrats to support it. chuck schumer said there's revulsion to agreeing to short term spending. >> it would be hard for a

you've already seen the white house and lindsey graham kind of spar with each other today over what kind of billt the white house wants versus what senator lindsey graham wants to see. we know that, in 2013, enough republicans worked with democrats to support a comprehensive immigration bill in the senate, but we also know that the house republicans are much more conservative. they're never going to go along with something that could get enough democratic votes in the senate. and then for the democrats, there's a lot of focus just simply on the daca plan, but we've already seen that they moved a little bit on whether they would fund a border wall. remember earlier in 2017, it's no money for a wall. now they're saying we'll give you a little bit of a wall. but what else are they willing to compromise on to be willing to say we're going to protect this group? >> woodruff: we heard from the white house affairs director the president is willing to talk about citizenship for these young dreamers. the midterm elections, there are a lot of polls, several in the last week or so, asking people whether th

but the graham-durbin bill ensures that we will be right back here in a few short years. when we want is to give the solution on the daca side and protect america from repeating this mistake again and again and again. let me be very clear. if we do what's on table today in the graham-durbin bill, it would allowed the parents of daca recipients legal. it would put other children at risk as they come across the border illegally. thank god most of us have never had to deal with that. imagine putting your children at risk and coming across the border illegally. but according to this precedent, they will be given legal status and be able to sponsor their parents. here we go reigniting another way. we have not done anything to being right back here a few short years from now. i believe times for action. my colleagues, last night, talked about, welshing nobody else has offered up any sliewghtses. with, that's not true. there are three republican senate bills that relate to this issue, active bills, that have been filed. the language is out there. you can read them. there is one

bill. lindsey graham explained why he won't support another short-term spending bill. >> every time we havenuing resolution it costs the military billions of dollars, won't going to shut down away 34 days. i want to fund the military and deal with daca and we won't get one without the other. i'm tired of playing this stupid game. >> reporter: even if lawmakers reach a deal, this is a short-term spending bill, right back here again with the same debate as lawmakers pass a long-term funding bill. >> if lawmakers worked as hard, continuously. >> reporter: no shutdown here. jillian: never-ending. the story we have been following for a few days. starved, chains, only allowed to shower once a year. in a disturbing picture of the physical and emotional abuse, and children endured for years. heather: todd: they claim they are innocent. anita vogel in los angeles with the latest details. >> reporter: it is hard to believe, new horrifying details emerging about the shocking abuse 13 children endured at the hands of their own parents. the tables turning on david and louise turban in a california court

bill. lindsey graham, rand paul and jeff flake now. the arizona senator flake who isn't getting the vote on daca he wanted says he opposes a funding bill for a month but kicks the can into next week something shorter. the top democrat in the senate chuck schumer has been pushing a four or five day long cr even though democrats are demanding a deal for the dreamers in exchange for any votes. >> there is no promise and no likelihood that another kicking of the can down the road will get something done. we have to sit down together and solve this. with the president or without. until that happens, no amount of crs will get this done. >> if they start making progress in the senate and they follow their own rules about timing, there may not be a vote on this bill to fund the government until after the government runs out of money. >> bill: how worried are republican leaders about a shutdown? what are they telling you, peter? >> it sounds like they're ready to blame democratic obstruction for any kind of shutdown, any kind of problems later o

graham. three republican senators had been negotiating that bill, senators flake, gardner and graham. bill if donald trump supported it would pass. the truth is donald trump has said from the beginning he wants a government shutdown. he's opposing the deal in front of him on daca. he basically is doing everything he can to hurt immigrants in this country. it's plain as day. what happened today with jorge garcia is heart breaking. he doesn't know mexico. america is his country. 80% of americans want to do something aboutda coto make sure this doesn't happen. and i think we're heading a shut down at the hands of president trump. every american should know that. >> let's here what senator coops said that about this. >> we will not fund the government without a daca deal. the challenge is, to make it clear to the american people, this is not just about immigration. >> how do you see the democrat strategy going into this? >> i think they have to remain strong. there's going to be some democrats who don't want a government shutdown because they're going into a tough election in 2018. who co

on one hand, you have the two co-sponsors of these bills, lindsey graham, as well as tom tillis, and on the other, you have people like mitch mcconnell who back in august when these bills were first introduced said it simply wasn't a priority for republicans. and back then, rumors were swirling that robert mueller was going to be fired by president trump. when there was assurances made by the white house and others in the administration there was no such plan in place, the push died down. in light of this new "new york times" reporting, democrats are picking up the push yet again. here's senator mark warner, the highest ranking democrat on the senate intelligence committee, making the case. >> i think if the president had gone through with this or tried to go through with it on a ongoing basis, we're into a real question of the fundamentals of our democracy. are we still going to be a don't whe a country where rule of law pervades and no one, even the president, is above the law. my hope will become next week the congress will take up bipartisan legislation that was around last year t

arizona's jeff flake and lindsey graham of south carolina agreed to vote yes on the stopgap bill. flake and graham had been key participants in negotiations with democrats, and they believed the white house has not done enough to strike a deal here. >> senator, do you really think you can come up with an agreement by the 8th? >> i don't know. i hope we can. but i'm doubting it. i have relied on the white house to actually work with us. we haven't seen that yet. >> the white house staff i think is making it very difficult. i've talked with the president. his heart is right on this issue. i think he's got a good understanding of what will sell. and every time we have a proposal, it is only yanked back by staff members. as long as stephen miller is in charge of negotiating immigration, we're going nowhere. he has been@an outlier for years. >> the white house using the senator's own words to defend miller and attack senator graham, saying as long as senator graham chooses to support legislation that sides with people in this country ill little, we're going nowhere. he's been an outlier

. >> what kind of play is the graham durbin bill getting at the table? really that graham-durbin is a bill that will be presented. i support the concept not because i agree with the legislation. it was starting point to bring people together to talk. i said, it needs more border security. it needs tighter reign in term of how we handle daca. from that point, we've continued to move on. what we do have are series of working group. republican and democrats trying to find a solution. i like we're making some progress. we know what the critical issues are. a border security system is going to be a part of any final product. >> senator rounds, when you look at the calendar, the legislative calendar, not the call dear that we all live by, the days that you guys are working are very short. it's only like a hand full of days. how are you going to get this done? will you be willing to work through weekends? >> we worked through the last weekend. we actually spent one heck lot of time just face to face with democrats letting them express their feelings. at the sam

so actually i think the belief, in my view, the unrealistic belief that somehow the graham-durbin bill was going to be the path forward without the president's signature, with a doubtful future in the house of representatives, hopefully that's been set aside. i say that with great respect because i'm not, i don't want to indicate or send any signal that i don't appreciate their concern or their passion or their effort to try to come up with a solution here. it's just that i think it should be clear to everyone that that is not going to be the path forward because of the circumstances i mentioned. the president doesn't support it, and it won't pass in the house of representatives and even get to the pr*edz -- president's tkefbgt. so we find ourselves here in a completely unnecessary situation. our democratic colleagues were pretty unanimous with, i guess, four or five exceptions in voting down a four-week continuing resolution and causing the government to shut down. the majority leader, senator mcconnell, has offered them another proposal which is a three-week continuing resolution whi

bill. last night on fox news lindsey graham explained why it is that he won't support another short-term spendingthe fourth cr, every time we have a continuing resolution it costs the military billions of dollars, it's not going to shut down and we are not going wait 30 more days. i want to do two things, i want to fund the military and deal with daca and we are not going get one without the other, i'm tired of playing this stupid game. >> and it's important to remember that even if lawmakers are able to reach a deal, this is only a short-term spending bill, meaning we will be right back here again in just a few weeks with a lot of the same debate as lawmakers try to pass a long-term spending bill. cheryl: we shall see, thank you. >> you've got it. lauren: let's talk about tax cuts because president trump certainly did yesterday, he was holding speech at its burr area factory saying tax cuts and economic successes will lead to big gop gain this year. >> we can keep it like this, we are going win a lot of elections, that i can tell you. it's something -- no, it's something.

jeff flake and lindsey graham voting on the stop-gap funding bill. flake and graham have been participates in the necessity dpoesh yags -- in the negotiat with the democrats. they believe it is not enough to strike a deal. >> do you think you can come up with agreement by the 8th? >> i hope we can, but i'm doubting it because that relies on the white house to actually work with us on this and we have not seen that yet. >> the white house staff, i think, is making it very difficult. i've talked with the president and his heart is right on this issue. i think he has a good understanding of what will sell and every time we have a prop e proposal it is yanked back by staff members. as long as stephen miller is in charge of negotiating immigration we are going nowhere. >> friendly fire in the republican party. the white house using the senator's words to defend miller and attack graham. quote, as long as senator graham is supporting legislation that sides with people in the country illegally, we are going nowhere. he has been an outliar for years. >> the w

have republicans and democrats who voted against this bill, who are voting against this bill currently. lindsey graham voted against this. >> jeff flake, lindsey graham, mike lee, rand paul. i mean on the democratic side, those who voted yes were joe donnelly, heidi heitkamp, doug jones, joe manchin, and claire mccaskill. carry on. >> exactly. the point being -- >> there's lindsey graham and chuck schumer on your screen. >> this is not some sort of democratic conspiracy to shut down the government. democrats have historically wanted to fund and keep the government operating. it's been traditionally the democrats who have done that in the face of opposition from republicans like ted cruz and newt gingrich in the past who have tried to shut down the government. what we have going on right now is a situation where we have a president who just said last may that we need a good government shutdown. he said that on twitter just last may. a president who said just seven years ago that if there is a shutdown, that the people don't care about whether it's the republicans or democrats in congress. they look to

bill. people like lindsey graham and dick durbin took him at his word. they came back and the meeting blew up and triggered the shut down. we tried to get opioid funding, tried to deal with community health centers and a commitment from mitch mcconnell to have a vote on a bipartisan daca bill. we will have to negotiate what does in that bill. everyone is in favor of border security. we need border security. the issue is smart use of taxpayer dollars. you know many of experts have said it's a waste of money to build a huge wall, one that the president said mexico is going to pay for. border -- >> neil: he seems to dial back the wall and some areas there wouldn't be a wall. what prompted that reversal -- i wasn't there. you probably know more than i -- that if there was no provision for that in this measure that was submitted to him -- we'll never know for sure, but is it your sense that we could re-visit this whole potential shut down talk in a few weeks? >> well, i hope we don't have another shut down talk. i hope that mitch mcconnell lives up to the com

one is the senate bill with durbin and graham on it. the other is a house bill that will be unrolled tomorrow. it will address such things as chain migration, you know, it's going to have e-verify in it. but it will address other things like perhaps sanctuary cities. it will cover a lot of topics, border security of course. and visa overstay. kennedy: when you say the house bill addresses chain migration, does it end chain migration? >> for distant relatives. if you have a minor or spouse, they can still get a green card. kennedy: what would the status of the dreamers be under the house plan, would they be given amnesty or is citizenship folded into expert groups of people who obey the law or join the military? >> the specifics aren't released yet. i don't want to get into that. but i don't think there will be amnesty in here if that's what you call it. i think you will deal with the daca, the children who are here. by the way, kennedy, i think this is a manufactured crisis. obama's allowances that he made for niece children that arrived

we are expecting for them to roll the dick durbin bill with lindsey graham for example is not only daca, it is daca plus. folks should get ready. >> shannon: even if you get something passed on the house, you need nine senators, nine democrats to join republicans on the senate. you know that's never going to happen. >> you start negotiating from that strong position. then you negotiate. if you listen to the liberals, they thought president trump came in very strong. they were worried we were going to have a dramatic move. the goodlatte is a compromise bill. if the senate gets their way, we might end up voting. this city is more concerned about the dollar. keep your eye and the money. they let these bills go by but if we fail on this issue, mark my words, this issue, if our party fails, the party is done. >> shannon: "washington examiner" outlines what you are facing the midterms, 31 income big g.o.p. lawmakers have decided not to run again. one-third of them hail from districts that are competitive for a takeover by the democrats. congressman said "a a bigly blue wave is coming. nancy p

bill. senator lindsey graham, myself, senator jeff flake of arizona, senator cory gardner of colorado, senator bob menendez of new jersey, and senator bennet of colorado, we all came together and we agreed on it. it wasn't easy. there are parts of it i hate. i gave on some areas that hurt me personally. so did they. and that's why we're sent here, to compromise and come up with solutions. so we anxiously called the president two days after our meeting on january 11. i called him because he invited me to. and darned if he didn't call me back in ten minutes. i couldn't believe it. i said, mr. president, we have a bipartisan agreement. it hits all the four elements you wanted us to hit. senator graham's going to come down to the white house to explain it to you. and he said good. i don't want to slow-walk this, he said. let's get this done. great. and then i get a call, the president would like you to accompany senator graham. i'm not going to go into details of what happened next when we got there. they have been widely reported. i'm just not going to return to that whole experience, but it's fa

don't we just put up the alexander bill or the daines bill or the durbin bill or the schumer bill or the graham bill. put it on the floor. let senators amend it and see if we can get 60 votes. if we can, then we can say to the president of the united states, mr. president, we've solved the problem here. we'd like your support. we can say to the house of representatives, we'd like you to support it or if you have a better idea, let's see it or put it in a bill we're going to send it. in any event, we're in much better shape. instead of just talking, we've actually done something. i think the majority leader could shorten the period of time or the continuing resolution. i think that would be a jest -- gesture of good faith to the democrats and second, say during if that period of time a group, such as the whips on our side and you can include the whips on the other side, but a group of senators cannot come to an agreement on a bill, then we will do what the senate is supposed to do. we will put the bills on the floor and we will vote on them. we will vote on them. we'll do it in the light of day.

more than a dozen are ready to vote no because the bill does not protect d.r.e.a.m.ers. republican senators lindsey graham and rand paul also saying they'll vote no. senator john mccain will be absent for the vote due to his cancer treatments. joe manchin will break with his party and vote yes. and republican senator mike rounds changing his vote is after a late night deal on defense appropriations. >> we could get this done in a few short days and not kick the can down the road. this is the fourth c.r. that we have done and accomplished nothing. >> senate minority leader chuck schumer tried to push for a vote last night but failed. he pitched a much shorter resolution to allow the senate to continue debate over the next few days. however, aides to senator majority leader mcconnell are skeptical. with just hours left, the blame game is in full force. >> democratic senators's fictionation on illegal immigration has already blocked us on making progress on long term spending talks. the same fixation has been threatening to filibuster funding for the whole government. >> two republican aides say a series of

>> no comprehensive immigration reform is enough to plesh by friday, but the terms of the graham/durbin billwhich i saw on paper, included 1.6 billion for construction of something that president trump would call a wall and the democrats would call virtual fencing or whatever would make them comfortable. but these concessions on chain migration should make conservatives very happy and i think liberal democrats. they are upset about it. this is interesting, he got a last-minute blowback from immigration talks, including his aide, stephen miller, that is now playing the steven bannon role as well as senator cotton who is pushing for restrictions on legal immigration. look, that was, i thought, a conservative compromise. it solved the dreamer thing but also gave a lot on legal immigration, new restrictions, new reforms that democrats on the way left are not going to be happy with, even steny said it was a friendly compromise. >> go ahead, chris. >> what's amazing here, let's assume -- let's assume -- i'm somewhat skeptical, but let's assume they get something to avert a government shutdown. amy

i can tell you somebody needs to look. >> bill: there is lindsey graham sounding off as president trumps he believes hillary clinton and the dnc colluded with russia denying there was any collusion with his campaign. ahead judge napolitano on where this goes next. >> sandra: plus a travel nightmare at one of the nation's busiest airports after a storm and a water main break leaves thousands of passengers stranded. and this. >> we can look back a year from now the warning signs were there. >> if this book is to be believed it is credible and frightening for the american people. >> bill: several members of the mainstream media raising questions about president trump's mental state after a blow-out book draws attention to it. so what's this all about? we shall explore in a moment. >> i spend 18 hours a day seven days a week next to president trump and continue to speak to him as he has assumed that office. i can tell you this, never have i seen anything like this. michael wolff hasn't spent any time with the candidate. my experience with usaa has been excellent. they always refer to me as

bill. it's lindsey graham, jeff flake and lisa murkowski.gration. byron: the big thing here is can trump get something on his wall to get started with it. one of the things i talk about in my piece, i talked about ask congress to set aside $18 billion the next 10 years for the wall. lou: in i may, let me interject. $18 billion would be a 10-year project to build a wall that still would not be 2,000 miles so that's not adequate for a president who promised to build a wall. this is a very difficult ground for the president it seems to me, particularly when not a single democrat has voted for a trump initiative and he's been -- there has been question that this is a democratic initiative that he would be sponsoring. byron: it requires 60 votes in the senate. so i think what trump is trying to find is a way to get a down payment on a wall -- lou: this is not what the president pledged. he said build the damn wall. byron: they are going to try to make it like a toll road where they impose fees on your visas. lou: you are talking about a fiction i

but a talk style bill, it only has lindsey graham, cory gardner, maybe a few others.donald trump and his staff are against it and talking like at the could now, i don't see how the republicans get behind it. >>> and you're assuming that all 49 democrats vote for it. and i don't know that you can make assumption. sever democrats today voted against reopening the government. among them were cory booker and kamala harris. stay with us. you can squeeze on between friday and monday at hilton? there's a vacation at the end of every week. whatever type of weekender you are, don't let another weekend pass you by. get the lowest price when you book at hilton.com we packed new banquet mega bowls full of majestic piles of cheddar mac n cheese, smothered in mozzarella. but it wasn't mega. so we topped it with protein packed chunks of buffalo-style chicken. now that's mega. there's somethingdoing toyou may be missing. a key part of your wellness that you may be... overlooking. it's your eyes. that's why there's ocuvite, from bausch + lomb. as you age your eyes can lose vital nutri

i think it's going to be a deal where the separate funding bill is passed and then a promise of a vote further on on this lindsay grahamne thing that may make this a tough sell for democrats is that they know even if the senate were to pass a bill like this, which is not all together impossible to believe it would happen, the house is probably not going to even take it up. so it's not clear what they would get out of it ultimately in terms of a deal, but it would get them a vote on this issue. now remember this is a deal they brought to president trump last we week. it is the more moderate immigration deal. >> they have been criticizing the president for turning it down. we haven't seen these type of fireworks on the hill for quite some time. schumer says dealing with the president is like negotiating with jell-o. republicans today said the democrats are 2-year-olds throwing temper tantrums. here's senator schumer part of what he said earlier. >> negotiating with this white house is like negotiating with jell-o. it's next to impossible. as soon as you take one step forward, the hard right forces the president three ste

senator dick durbin told me he will unveil a gang of six partisan bill tomorrow. senator graham is trying to work with republicans and maybe toughen it with some idea of how they could deport felons, for example. he's thinking about that. will this lead to a shutdown? will democrats withhold their votes in the senate if they don't get a daca deal, one senator sheldon whitehouse told me if they think there is progress, but right now they don't see progress. >> woodruff: so things seem to be moving in a more conservative direction in all of this? >> yes. i think that's because of what the president said last week and its effect on the house. the president's remarks were essentially a bolder boulder toa fragile compromise trying to be built on the house side. now instead of this durbin-graham compromise, what i heard from the house today, a generall moderate person, they said that deal is not possible because they said a daca passes citizenship. it's something they won't accept. that used to be middle ground. if that, in fact, is really where they want to change, the two sides are
