back with me luke russert, david frum, and blake zeth. david, how is that line of argument going to go over with republican vote sners >> the republican party is divided on the marijuana issue, but let's remember what rand paul is advocating. he is not a friend to the groups he's speaking for. he's not a friend to people of color, he wants to make marijuana legal. the consequences are dangerous and they are going to fall on the people who will be exposed to all kinds of life risks. it is made easier to start taking drugs, easier to keep using drugs. >> blake, what i find so fascinating about this line of attack there's the obvious side of look at this guy, he gets away with it and he wants to put people in prison for what he got away with. there's also a clear line of attack about bush privilege. just bush life privilege in general. high school is not exactly the way we describe the school. this is andover, one of the most elite boarding schools in america where he was. let me just read to you, this was all revealed in "the boston globe."

luke russert? >> reporter: it would take speaker boehner to take a vote which he is unlikely wanting to do that. within an hour they should put the three-week dhs extension bill on the floor and they should get into 218 votes. but they ran into some head winds here and we thought this bill would be passed this morning and they did what we call here the blue screen of death and they did a delay to make sure they have the majority number they need to get this pulled forward. and nancy pelosi told me she would not give house republicans cover on this and they want to see the funding for the rest of the fiscal year. but steny hoyer said they might examine that gep if it got close on the floor with 212 votes and needed a few more votes because president obama said he doesn't want dhs to shut down and if this is the only way forward, it might be the only way forward. it will likely be funded or not. in three weeks, march 19th we could very well have the same conversation again and new american congress w

with me now is luke russert and eugene robinson. luke, you have the scoop. are boehner and mcconnell finally on the same page? >> i don't think it's fair to say they're on the same page. i think they're going through the options they have before them but essentially what mitch mcconnell has done here is if this does go through the united states senate through a final vote -- which the indications are it will -- then john boehner has a serious decision he has to make. there's three decisions he could make. he could take this plan run with it put the clean bill on the vote. it would get 60 to 65 republicans, pass it with democratic help. that would anger the right flank. he could listen to the right flank and do nothing. to have this fight over immigration right here right now. or he could come up with his own solution, which is idea of perhaps you do a temporary funding of the department of homeland security two weeks, two months and maybe use the court process, the legal process, to try to go against the president's executive actions. speaker boehner said i

let's bring in luke russert on capitol hill. luke, so leading with politics tom ridge there, and they are still marrying together these dhs issues regarding homeland security and immigration, which surprised me a little bit. i'm wondering how that struck you? >> reporter: well, it was the surprise, in fact that we got here from the government funding bill they passed last year because even some republicans were very -- i should say they were wore kbri -- worried how this would look because they were the party of national security and as tom rinl said there, they would be fighting this battle of immigration on the backs of those that go to work every day. and on the hill, the last hour harry reid announced he is okay moving forward with mitch mcconnell's plan to move forward to divide the two issues. a clean homeland security bill would go on the senate floor and another vote where republicans could have the opportunity to express their anger regarding the president's immigration executive actions. we do not know when exactly tha

i was asking luke about the end game. this has to come to an end, probably tomorrow night. it end? >> well, i think, you know i was saying people use words like infrastructure andkkp appropriations. they bore the hell out of people. but when we get attacked and don't have enough money going to tsa officials at the airport because the wrong person gets through, all the sudden you're in danger. so how many hours are the republicans willing to risk nothing bad happens starting midnight tomorrow might? that's saturday, sunday, monday. how many days will they let pass on the clock and calendar before they say our number is up, we're going to get hit with something bad, and we'll be blamed for it. i think we learned something from bill clinton. republicans get blamed for=luit&c% government shutdowns. they just do. they deserve it in most of the cases, but they get the credit for being the guys who screwed it up because they don't like government. >> let'sc" turn for a moment to this issue of immigration. you have the president now saying don't look in this direction if you want t

nbc's luke russert is watching it for us on capitol hill. luke, good morning. from here? >> that's a good question jose. it seemed that mitch mcconnell and the senate republican leadership want to reintroduce the bill that failed yesterday to essentially say to the country, look, democrats are obstructing this bill they're using the filibuster against us which mcconnell used so well in his time in minority. the idea is perhaps, once this bill goes down again today, because republicans are trying to make a confrontational stand against the president regarding that immigration order you mentioned, perhaps they would take out language in the bill controversial for republicans which was the repeal of the language from 2012 which allowed the children of immigrants to came here through no fault of their own not to be deported. that won't go anywhere because they vowed to block that. they want a kleenex tension of the department of homeland security. this seems to be the d.c. political food fight, house republicans waiting for the senate to move before they do anythin
