leadership on the funding bill and one of the house freedom caucus members, mark meadows, urging the members of that caucus to vote yes and a lot of this having to do with promises that speaker ryan has made. what are those promises and what's the likelihood then he's got the freedom caucus now on his side? guest: it looks like they have the vote, that republicans will have the votes to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government and avert a shutdown, at least on the house side. so let's just take the house first. what this deal means is that they will be able to pass a c.r. and then there will be separate votes, it turns out on boosting funds for military preparedness, sort of what i was talking about before on national security. we don't know, we only have the contours of this deal, since it just broke. mark meadow the freedom caucus chairman, and jim jordan, are taking this agreement with the speaker back to their rank and file members. in the rayburn house building. as we speak. and so we are expecting that republicans will be table come together and pass the c.r. on a pa

you had freedom caucus leader mark meadows speak to the press saying republicans didn't have enough votes to pass the c.r. he was on his way to a meeting with speaker of the house paul ryan. here is what meadows said 20 minute ago, then it changes. watch. >> he said he hopes the freedom caucus doesn't kill the c.r. >> you have to have leader mccarthy. i haven't had that conversation with leader mccarthy. we have got to make good progress. >> your math is they don't have the votes to pass this? >> yes. >> you did not vote as a block to oppose? >> we did not take a position. >> is that still a possibility? >> it is not. reporter: here is what gop aide are telling us. they met and agreed to hold a separate vote to bolster national security and the military and other issues. there will be a separate vote at some point on helping fund national security issues, but that's what it took to win the support of the freedom caucus to pass the c.r. it's expected to pass sometime in the 7:00 hour. charles: we'll be right back. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but whi

joining me now, mark meadows the chairman of the powerful house freedom caucus.t has 30 members. >> a good 25 or 30 votes are representative of your caucus? >> we try to get together and make sure we have a united front when it comes to the conservative voice. more importantly it's not about the 35 members, chuck. it's about the millions of people who feel like washington, d.c. has forgotten them. that's why the caucus was formed, certainly it's why they have influence on capitol hill. >> you definitely have flurchs and these building blocks to get the deals, the compromises done. let's face it you are not going to get everything you want. chuck and nancy won't get everything they want. >> i'm shocked. >> and the president won't. what's fatalistic and what's possible? let's start with daca and the deferred action for the d.r.e.a.m.ers. is this going to be a narrow deal -- first of all, are you supportive of some form of protection for these folks? >> we have been working closely with the administration and some of my democrat colleagues even some republicans that

this is republican mark meadows, not me. and passing just another continuing resolution in the hopes things get better in a few weeks. democrats don't want the government to shut down. may i have one additional minute? we don't have the power to shut it down either. that's entirely in the hands of the majority. and by the way, on there previous c.r., 90 of your members voted against it. did they vote against the military, did they vote against the first responders, did they vote against education funding? and we wring our hands about the military funding. you think it's any easier to run a nondefense agency with a c.r.? you're wrong if you think that. they undermine our deposk agencies as well. and i hope -- domestic agencies as well, and i hope they are equally worried about the impact of doing one short-term funding bill after another on the domestic side. americans are frustrated that their congress can't agree on what we agree on. republicans have previously supported the principles of parity when raising spending caps.

let's bring that to mark meadows. you heard the congressman right there.ling to trade what he calls an idiotic wall in return for freeing the daca. is that good enough? >> what this is all about we're in the middle of a shut down talking about immigration. is this an amnesty shut down? i find it interesting that schumer said what he did in your lead up to this particular show about immigration and the fact that shutting it down over immigration is chaotic, yet here we are on that subject today. let me answer that question. the president has been clear it is about border security. border security is not just what we do at the southern border. it's about visas, chain migration and interior enforcement. he put forth three things he would do in exchange for making sure daca recipients don't face deportation. we were making good progress. the president called me a number of times saying he wants a solution for the daca recipients. here we are trying to use a tactic to force the president's hand. i can tell you the offers that have been made to date, whether the

mark meadows says he's a big fan of yours. lou: well mark meadows, it is absolutely mutual. thanks you so much, congressman. >>> we're coming right back with much more. stay with us >>> it's bigger than watergate, a growing number of republicans demanding the release of the explosive house intel memo that details the government's abuses of fisa. >> there are a couple of times as i'm reading this sthing where i'm just shaking my head, you've got to be kidding me. i can't believe they did that. the american people need to see it. >> former congressman jason chaffetz says republicans should release the memo and has an idea on how to do that. he joins us next. >>> president trump caps off his historic first year in office, he becomes the first sitting president to directly address the march for life rally. next we take up the president's historic year of achievement and accomplishment coming up here next. stay with us. we use our phones and computers the same way these days. so why do we pay to have a phone connected when we're already paying for internet? shouldn't it all just

up next my interview mark meadows of north carolina. his take on daca and the president's comments behind closed doors. and later democrats look to ride the wave of republican departures in congress. we'll map out the races in place. kasie dc will be back right after this. >>> welcome back to kasie dc. earlier this evening just a little bit before the president made those comments defending himself as not a racist i spoke to congressman mark meadows. he insisted he does not believe the president is a racist. first of all, i want to ask you about the president's reported comments, he referred to immigrants from african countries from haiti using an expletive. what's your reaction? was that comment racist? >> we won't be debating what he said or didn't say in the oval office, we'll be talking about daca and how to fix that. so, i don't see the president as a racist at all. i've probably spent more time with him on one-on-one than most members and i can tell you he's never, never had a racist comment in private and so i have it on good aut

on the other side, mark meadows say his members may have enough to save this. who will take the blame if we shut down the government? >> well, i mean, democrats are certainly, they have one piece of leverage in washington now. that's spending bills. on the other hand, republicans control the white house, the house, they control the senate. it's hard for me to understand how republicans wouldn't take some or most of the blame for this in the public's eye if the government shuts down. simply because nay control the entire government. on the other hand, democrats are standing up here. you know, could potentially stand up here on the daca issue. >> and there's also this just back and forth over the president, what role the president is playing in all of this. you know, this 10:00 to 12:00, two-hour period where the president seemed to really change his mind, you know, dick durbin, democrat, say the president was sandbagged in his position about daca and the immigration bill. senator lindsey graham seems to say the same thing. listen -- >> i think somebody on his st

mark meadows, like mark, think a lot of mark.say all he wants to about jeff sessions stepping down. at the end of the day jeff works for the president and if the president wants a new attorney general i think that's not so much our calling here in the house or the senate, that's more with the president. >> do you agree with them, that jeff sessions has in their words no control of the premier law enforcement agency in this country? do you agree with that assertion? >> i think -- i think we're lucky to have an fbi, we're lucky to have the leadership of the fbi we've had for years, that includes jim comey and includes bob mueller and includes the guy that's running the place now. they're good people and need our respect. and i don't know that the involvement of all that much of the attorney general is all that important. they're going to continue to go to work and continue to go to work and do their jobs and work hard. >> senator, i want to ask you a question about something that has come up in the news in the last few weeks, a uni

joining me congressman jim jordan and mark meadows. they penned a joint op-ed saying it's time for attorney general jeff sessions to go. all right, guys. congressman jordan, do you still think sessions has to go? >> i think we have seen some changes. the fact that they are investigating the clinton foundation, they are looking at the uranium one issue. hats off to mark meadows, mark gates and chairman nunes for putting pressure on the justice department. sometimes my dad would have a little attitude adjustment meeting with my brother and i and oftentimes after those meeting we had a change in behavior. because of the push from congress i believe we are seeing some change. if that continues, great. but if it doesn't we may have to change who is serving as attorney general. we called fear special counsel to look at all the things we talked about in your opening statement. judge jeanine: i'm impressed right now. i want to give him the benefit of the doubt. but i'm ready to go back at him, fit isn't the case. but congressman meadows, i hav

now, coming up on "morning joe," republican congressman and chairman of the house freedom caucus mark meadows says the bill doesn't have the votes to pass the house. >>> a bipartisan immigration bill, trump described the senate compromise a as, quote, hoebl for security and very, very weak on legal chain migration adding, quote, it's the opposite of what i campaigned for. trump told reuters that senator graham meant well, but i said, well? how many agree with this? yesterday, four senators got mind the deals. mike rounds, lisa murkowski, senator alexander and susan collins of maine. but senate majority leader said he would only bring a vote on something that the white house supports. >> i'm looking for something that president trump supports. and he's not yet indicated what measure he's willing to sign. as soon as we figure out what he is for, then i would be convinced that we were not just spinning our wheels going to this issue on the floor. >> and white house chief of staff john kelly attempted to clarify the administration's position on immigration and border security, this after controve

mark meadows is actually on the senate floor as we speak. so we are going to try to figure out how to get him back here. hopefully being called out publicly will incentivize them to come back so we can give you a little more insight into what's going on. if there were to be a potential deal here, it sounds like this would potentially be something along the lines of what we have been talking about for for more of the day. the proposal on the table is a continuing resolution for government funding that would extend to february 8th. in theory, what they were going to be voting on overnight tonight, remember, we were set for a 1:00 a.m. vote here in the senate. so the idea would be to stop the shutdown, provide a real path forward with certain dates over the course of the next three weeks to meet some of the other benchmarks here. now, the challenge, of course, has been and remains where the house or the white house are on this proposal. so my main question having been reporting this out all day is how far is mitch mcconnell going to distance hi

. >> lou: you know mark meadow and tim jordan, two distinguished republican on capitol hill demand jeff sessions do its duty or get out of the office. the practicality can that happen and should it happen? >> i am glad they join me. on the 15th of november i said the same thing to you on air and they may be slow getting to the point but i am glad they have. while i respect mr. sessions personally, he's been neutralized and he needs to step up the game and take affirmative action in and reassure the public and president he will be tough on law breakers or get out of the way. >> lou: should the president fire him? >> i don't know that firing is the immediate task. >> lou: someone needs to run the justice department that is not aligned. rod rosenstein is aligned. and many in the fbi and justice department and we know their names now. and that place needs to be cleaned out. the top floor of the fbi and the justice department? >> you are correct. it is it ripe with subversion and there needs to be, i don't want to call a ultimatium. that is too strong much a word. it needs a heart-to-heart.

i was sitting next to mark meadows reading this memo and before he was done with the first page, he turned to me and said he never those would see anything in his life that is worst than watergate. i think it's going to happen within the next two weeks, it may happen next week. lou: in large measure because of your efforts and jim jordan and mark meadows, and i shouldn't have started that list because it's a long one. we thank you for all you are doing. congressman matt gaetz. there is as you might suspect, a great dale more. stay with us. president trump promoting america first and touting a strong economy. president trump: america is open for business and we are competitive once again. lou: a simple message for the global elites of davos. we take up the discussion with pastor robert jeffress. president trump accusing of schumer whining about a daca deal. deal. a full report straight ahead. ooooooh snap!! every truck guy has their own way of conveying powerful. yeeaaahhh boy. kind of looks like a monster coming to eat ya. holy smokes. that is awesome. strong. you got the basic, and you go

in a new op ed, mark meadows and jim jordan cite recent leaks from the fbi and justice department as a reason they say to step aside. here's what they write. they write it would appear he has no control at all of the law enforcement agency in the world. it's time for sessions to start managing in a spirit of transparency tow bring all of this imprommer behavior to light and stop further violations. if sessions can't address this immediately we have one final question needing an answer. when is it time for a new attorney general? sadly it seems the answer is now. back with our panel for people who don't know, you mentioned this earlier. mark mettos and jim jordan are among the most conservative. they are premier members of the freedom caucus in the house. the fact that they are saying jeff sessions should go seems to be a way for the congress to try to give the president wiggle room to say the attorney general is gone and we can point a new 1 and get rid of the special counsel. wishful thinking. >> i think it is at this point. we are talking about how bannon has pull with the base. pa
