let me read you what hoyer wrote. "if republicans announce their intention to bring," in his words, "their harmful trumpcare bill to the house floor tomorrow or saturday, i will oppose a one-week continuing resolution." he'll oppose the funding extension and will advise house democrats to oppose it as well. are you on board with that? >> well, first and foremost, i think it's very improbable that the republicans would do that. the health care system is some 17% of our economy, and the idea that they're going to cook up a bill after the last one failed and bring it to the floor without any hearings, without any debate, without any preparation, without their own people even being able to fully understand what this thing involves i think is very, very improbable. look, i think we're pretty close on a deal to keep the government open. it seems that we have a clean bill without any of the wall or other sort of poisonous riders that were going to make it problematic. so, my hope is that at this point, the republicans do the

hoyer, for five minutes. mr. hoyer: ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. hoyer: thank you very much, mr. speaker. at the end of the week president trump will reach his 100th day in office. these first 100 days, unfortunately, have been defined by chaos, contradiction, and conflicts of interest. and he's broken campaign promise after campaign promise. he claimed he would be the greatest jobs president god ever created. yet he has failed to put forward a single jobs bill and is taking credit for jobs that were created or announced long before he took office. he said he would fight for working families, yet his budget would slash investments that create jobs and opportunities. he said he would drain the swamp, yet he refuses to release his taxes which would shed light on his own conflict of interest. washington is now practically drowning in the swamp president trump has rained down on our capital. he promised to balance the budget. in nine years. it took him, unfortunately, mr. speaker, less than 30 days to aba

and say they would not accept a bill without that cost-sharing money in there and it believe steny hoyer, the number two ranking democrat has said something similar that they are not drawing those lines. two weeks ago schumer and nancy pelosi were drawing that line. both sides seem to have come off of that sticking point that leaves us with a cost payment sharing issue, has not been finalized the way that the law has. it is one of those issues that looks like we are getting resolution, still the other issues hanging out there. >> with regard to the negotiations, who is at the table, who are the key people you are watching? he said president trump and his team were not particularly help offering the wall demand late last week. now that trump is out it is the top members, the top roof a look in and talk democrat on the appropriations committee in the ones that are most involved in writing the deal but the leadership also as well. >> the funding of the wall issue is a big development, there had been talk yesterday, lawmakers trying to punch, delay it for another week to give congress time,

i believe that steny hoyer, the number two ranking democrat in the house, has said something similar. that they aren't drawing those lines. where two weeks ago schumer and nancy pelosi were drawing that line. so both sides seem to have come off of that very big sticking point, that leaves us with a bunch of -- with still the cost payment sharing issue hasn't been finalized the way that the wall apparently has. but it's one of those issues that looks like we're getting to a resolution. still the other issues hanging out there. >> with regard to the negotiations, who's at the table? who are the key people you're watching? reporter: it appears to be one of the things that schumer said is, basically they wanted to get the president out of the negotiations. he said that president trump and his team weren't particularly helpful in particular with offering the wall demand late last week. so now that trump is out, it's essentially the top members, the top republican and top democrat on the appropriations committees in both the house and senate, are the ones who are most involved in writing th

steny hoyer and democrats say that they will -- speaker ryan: uh-oh. [laughter] i was repeating what she was saying. not what you said. reporter: democrats are saying they will withhold votes for a funding bill. speaker ryan: yeah. she said to me about that. reporter: a vote this week on obamacare repeal, what's your reaction to that and can you pass a funding bill with just republican votes? speaker ryan: i would be shocked they would want to see a government shutdown, that the democrats would want to do that. look, let's just take a step back. the reason this government funding bill is not ready is because democrats have been dragging their feet. periodically they haven't been showing up for negotiations. so the reason we need an extension in the first place is because democrats are dragging their feet. even if we get an agreement, let's just say, in 10 minutes, we simply can't process the paperwork that long and we have a three-day rule. people need to be able to read the bill. so it inevitably under any scenario or circumstance requires a short-ter

as much as steny hoyer could -- you see a vote come together quickly. >> host: on spending, assumingthe short-term measure passes, the one can week mush and then the spending bill for the rest of 2017, how does that debate so far shape up the budget talks for 2018 appropriation. >> guest: that's a very good question. the 2018 budget, we're waiting for the administration to release their full about request. it's coming in late may. diane black, the house budget committee chairwoman is working on her own budget resolution that she says they're aiming to balance within ten years. has to be a lot of deep suspending -- deep spending cuts. you have to look at some very deep spending cuts and remains to be seen exactly where the house and senate come out on a toppine number for appropriations for 2018. if it's anywhere near the $54 billion in cuts at that time president trump has proposed already it would be very difficult to get through congress because the democrats would not be able to support that. >> host: eric watson writes a daily financial column every day. thank you for the update.

steny hoyer and democrats say they will -- uh-oh. >> she's. >> i was just repeating what she said. not what you said. >> democrats are saying they will withhold votes for a funding bill. >> she said something to me about that. >> will you press forward with a vote this week on obamacare repeal? what's your reaction to that and can you pass a funding bill with just republican votes? >> i would be shocked they would want to see a government shutdown. let's take a step back. the reason this government funding bill is not ready is because democrats have been dragging their feet. periodically they haven't shown up for negotiations. so the reason we need an extension in the first place is because democrats are dragging their feet. even if we get an agreement lets just say in ten minutes, we can't process the paperwork that long and we have a three-day rule. people need to be able to read the bill. so it inevitably under any scenario or circumstance requires a short-term extension and i'm confident we'll be able to pass a short-term extension. i would be shocked the democrats would want t

certainly right now what the democrats like pelosi and hoyer are trying to do is, you know, create a juxtaposition? which is it? either you're a deficit hawk or cut taxes. they're probably trying to play a little of this inside game where they're trying to provoke those deficit hawks to basically jump ship so that the president's tax proposal won't be successful. as was mentioned, you'll need everybody to get it done. the democrats are not getting on board on capitol hill. >> so sarah, there's a number of republicans leading the healthcare bill and get it done because they want to use the baseline to get a lot of this paid for. there's talk of a border tax that might be going nowhere. there's some in the republican party that while actively supporting the notion that tax cuts create revenues, they don't want to be blamed for worsening the deficit by pushing the tax cuts right away. where does this stand? >> the truth is we don't know enough about the tax plan to judge how it will affect the deficit or how it will affect middle class families. the administration only put out a broad f

i saw stenny hoyer say that while chuck schumer was on the floor talking about the bipartisan naturethe current cr negotiation. perry is right. you could see he didn't offered a qualified opinion there. there won't be a vote by saturday. i think this process now is actually taking on -- it is more reflective of a normal process, of growing the vote, having house leadership go out there and find a number of folks that are no, but are then maybes and then turn them from maybes to yeses. that will take a lot longer than by saturday. >> what do you make -- this is something that happened this week and all of a sudden wasn't happening anymore, which was president trump talking about how he was going to withdraw the u.s. from nafta. it was kind of leaked from the banion wing of the white house, that they were preparing to do this. trump did tweets about it and all of a sudden phone calls between president trump with the leaders of mexico and canada and now he was renegotiating. it seems to me this is what we're going to get a lot of, president trump saying something very drastic and forcef

stenny hoyer said in a statement if republicans announce their intention to bring harmful trump careill to the house floor tomorrow or saturday, i will oppose a one-week continuing resolution and will advise house democrats to oppose it as well. >> i'm not sure they would tie the health harbour town care bill to what -- that would be the height of stupidity. >> reporter: the sudden return of the shutdown drama threatens to spoil white house efforts to tout their 100 days achievement. on monday press secretary shun spicer said the government would remain open. >> we feel confident it is not going to shut down. >> reporter: about a key agenda item, his vow to renegotiate or pull out of nafta. >> we will renegotiate. now, if i'm unable to make a fair deal, if i'm unable to make a fair deal for the united states, meaning a fair deal for our workers and our companies, i will terminate nafta. >> reporter: 24 hours ago, the white house signalled the president was about to give notice that he may withdraw from the free trade agreement, but after phone calls with the leaders of mexico and can

hoyer here a couple of weeks ago, i asked for them to tell us what they had to suggest that would make things improve in obamacare. i have spoken with at least one of them since then. i hope all will play a role, democrat and republican. these are two members of the house that just chose to get themselves involved. i appreciate you doing that. i hope every one of the 435 members of the house will do the same. thank you and i yield back. mr. sessions: thank you very much. the gentleman from washington. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i thank the two gentlemen for being here with us this afternoon while even else has -- everyone else has gone home and we're still here working hard. i just wanted to add my voice to the support of helping to find the right solution. adding value to what we have on the table. it's an important part of what we're doing here to get it right. and we're taking the time that's necessary to have the discussion. there's been a lot -- discussion. there's been a lot of talk about process. that's important. but i want to talk a little bit about policy and ask a little bi

hoyer says congress needs to get it together. >> the funding of government on a sporadic basis on a continuingesolution is very bad for morale of the federal service, very bad for anybody who wants to plan on how to execute their obligations and responsibilities. >> there was a serious push to hold a vote in the house on the revised republican health care plan by tomorrow. margaret tom macarthur from new jersey and conservative freedom caucus chairman mark meadows cut a deal that would give states more flexibility and many conservatives jumped on board. >> i think we are there early next week. i think today everyone wanted to get it for the 100 day for trump, but i think a lot of scheduling, 450 people here, booked on saturday and sunday. i think early next week. >> democrats do not intend to health and thus the focus shifts to fixing obamacare. >> take repeal off the table, we are ready to talk to them. i like what the leader said when he said that their bill is coming back from the dead. i thought maybe we could call it the zombie because this thing just keeps coming back words come up scary
