called the dingell jingle. and this is the two closing verses of this year's jingle. in the congress we will keep on fighting, maybe we can find some common ground, how about funding c.h.i.p. and fixing daca before we take those jet planes out of town. no matter if red or blue, let's keep taking a stand, let's work hand-in-hand. so congresswoman dingell is a hard working -- listed as one of the most hard working members of the house. she is a bridge building and apparently a rhyming member of congress. and so the questions we ask her to offer a few thoughts is how can you be both principal hled civil in a time of great division. what are the behaviors and actions that help and hurt. and what advice would she have for young leaders who are trying to practice politics as a vocation. so thank you very much, congresswoman. >> thank you. first of all, i've been losing my voice for three months, which you could joke and say republicans are happy, but not the right thing to say as we're standing here today. thank you

let me welcome the congresswoman from the great state of michigan, debbie dingell. rep. dingell: we are here urging the republicans to join us and reopening the government and -- in reopening the government and addressing the critical issues that face the american people today. each of the issues we are talking about matters to the american people. one of the most pressing is the pension crisis facing working men and women in michigan and across the country. president trump came to our state, into west virginia and other states across the country and connected with those working men and women and said i will help you. we need to help them. when i go home to michigan, someone is coming up to people and saying will you help me. i am here for these people that are scared to death about what is going to happen to them. i have the largest group of central pension fund members that live in my district. it is not only them, it is fieldworkers, it is mine workers, these hard working men and women were made a promise. they played by the rules, they put money into their pensions a

but congresswoman dingell as i bring you back in. nancy pelosi making a point there about how much this cost the country. the last shutdown in october 2013 lasted 16 days and cost the country something to the tune of about $24 billion. your husband was in congress during the last shutdown. i'm sure you know all of what's involved in these negotiations. does this one feel different to you? is it playing out differently than in 2013? >> i'm not old, but i'm seasoned and i've watched this a lot. we need leadership. i mean i agree with the president trump of 2013, the leadership has got to come -- president trump has to put everybody in the same room. this isn't good for the american people. it's not good for the economy, and what i fear is right now, that we have this stand-off with no one wanting to come to the democrats, the democrats want to come to the table. we do want to get this figured out. it's not good for the country. let's get in the room. if we have to have a few days to allow people to work out the nitty-gritty, that's oka

joining me now is democratic congresswoman debbie dingell of michigan. it's a pleasure to have you here and you are one of the few democrats that i've heard recently saying look, i'm open to working with the president. you also said, congresswoman, that you do not think that the issues that voters are going to the polls on in the midterms are just about the president. so is it a miscalculation among fellow democrats who say we don't want to give this president a win? >> i think it's complicated. i think there are a lot of people that were just not happy. i was someone that predicted donald trump could win because i saw two things -- i saw anger, a lot of anger among people about people not caring about them and they were mad at republicans and democrats, and then there were a lot of people that stayed home just because they didn't like any of the candidates. i think that many people stayed home who stayed home last election, are energized. i have to tell you honestly, my town halls, i'm not somebody who is afraid of town halls. my town halls last january

but again if you heard debbie dingell she wants clean daca. that seems like that is going to be impossible. >> separating those issues. >> seems like impossible. >> garrett: a mere suicide mission for the white house if it were to go that route because it would invited amnesty rolling over, giving in and abandoning the things that were central to your campaign. >> remember on calendar you have january 19 which is next spending bill expires, when they want to come up with solutions to this problem. otherwise, march 5th -- >> garrett: next shut down. >> then march 5 is it is deadline for daca. did you hear anyone present a proposal? >> garrett: or timeline. >> no why where near agreement. i think as julie was saying the real break can point here is going to be, once they put down what the compromise is for daca, we're going to save these kids. not just kids. they're adults. anywhere between 640,000. once you figure that out, what are you going to get in return? i'm less interested in what the republican response to that will be. than the democra

a bipartisan pension protection caucus that i co-chair with representatives rick nolan and debbie dingell raises attention to this crisis before it's too late. congress must come together and find a bipartisan solution that works for all of these critical funds and takes care of the families that need peace of mind. so on behalf of the -- american coal miners, the teamsters, the builders, bakers, boilermakers and many others, we must act now. thank you and i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas, mr. green, for five minutes. mr. green: mr. speaker, i'm always honored to stand here in the well of the house. exception. i love my country, but i'm not proud of my president. mr. speaker, i'm saddened to that the level of discourse hat our country has been brought to an all-time low. there are people who were very concerned when the esident indicated that there would be a ban on persons from certain countries. on muslims, if you will. there were people who were that ed when they learned the president was of the pinion that members of the lgbt

. >> although we have representative debbie dingell coming on the show later and wants to work with thesident. john kelly said "the norms and conventions are exactly what he, the president ran against and in his view are why we're in this fix. he doesn't intentionally make decisions that are opposite, say of what a previous president would make." he's got a view of what's better for america." >> it's disingenuous. every other statement, let me put it more totally. it seems that president trump is fairly consumed with undoing whatever president obama did. just look at how he frames his decisions. he doesn't say here's a policy and here's why i'm executing it. here's how i'm fixing a disastrous obama policy. if that's what he really means to do, then maybe chief of staff kelly is saying it in a smarter, more cogent way than the preside president. look at the vehemence when he writes about the former president and what he says. that doesn't square with whattet told the "new york times." >> let's talk about the attacks on special counsel bob mueller. amie noted the investigation conditions
