the republican president, the republican house, the republican senate. the republican house came to texas in particular and bent down to speak to those of us on the tarmac and said, we will provide for you everything you need. right now, in many places in our constituencies, there are people with no power, their houses are gutted, and there is no response. heard --e you may have many of you may have heard $5 billion was allocated in september. this republican administration has not rendered that money anyway. we don't have $5 billion. nowhere has discussion been in the cr of disaster supplementals or moneys, which is what we are standing for. with 51 trillion gallons of water, and with people still suffering or living in tents in texas, i can say to you that this is a failed government, this is a failed process, and in good conscience we cannot vote to not help the people throughout this area who have suffered from hurricanes, mudslides, fires, and anything else, and i think that we will see this again, and we just cannot stand for it. >> either anymore

republicans and the top of the ticket, trump. let us be crystal clear. they have a large number of votes in the house. could have passed this appropriations bill without one democratic vote. they cannot get the votes within the republican caucus to pass a spending bill on its own. passu want us to help you a funding bill, it has to be moral. fair. and anything absent there. thank you all for coming in. >> now we will look at the house as they debated the short-term spending bill before the final vote. this is 15 minutes. watched as tens of thousands of federal employees were forced to stay home. as our men and women in uniform went without pay, as opioid treatment centers got cut off, and as parents faced the harrowing prospect that their children would lose their health insurance. the american people never wanted this to happen. republicans in the congress did not want this to happen and

oh the president is republican. house is controlled by republicans. senate is marginally controlled by republicans. what is really the fact is, they're using the filibuster to shut down the government. so a minority in the senate, the senate democrats are using their filibuster to shut down the government. let me say it really clearly, we saw this last night at about midnight, we know there are enough votes to open the government if it came to a vote, there would be more than 50 votes to open the government back up, but senate democrats are using filibuster making it 60 votes and shutting down the government. here is what is weird, ainsley, the bill we passed in the house, they support it. they don't oppose the underlying legislation. that is what is so weird about this. brian: some of the scariest words you could ever hear, paul ryan, the president just tweeted. i have to fill in the gap for you. here we go. he tweeted this out while you were speaking. democrats have shut down the government in the interests of their far-left base. they don't want to

republicans are working harder for putin or for the american people, at least those house republicans that put together this memo. mr. president, this republican talking points memo is part of a pattern of behavior from this white house and their republican allies in congress -- not everybody, just some -- and the media, the hard-right media. they do not welcome the results of special counsel mueller's investigation, so they are trying to smear the investigation and the entire f.b.i. before it concludes. the attacks on the credibility of the f.b.i., we all know agents, we all know how hard they work, how decent they are. the attacks on the credibility of the f.b.i. are beyond the pale. they have fueled wild speculation and outright paranoia, talks of coups and deep states and secret societies. it brings shame on the folks propagating this nonsense. but more crucially, it diminishes our great country. when prominent voices in one of our country's two major political parties are outright attacking the f.b.i. and the d.o.j., the pillars of american law enforcement, they are p

in 2017, a republican president, republican house, republican senate brought back bedrock free market principles. tax less, regulate less, micromanage less, and empower the american people to work hard and keep more of what they earn and we're already seeing results. the most significant accomplishment was the historic tax reform law the president signed just over three weeks ago. it hadn't been done in 30 years, but in 2017 congress and the white house worked together to overhaul the tax code. we cut rates for families and businesses, expanded key deductions, closed wasteful loopholes, and repealed obamacare's individual mandate tax. it took a lot of money out of wesh's pockets and put -- washington's pockets and put it back in the pockets of middle-class families who, after all, earned it in the first place. earlier in the year we made major progress in rolling back the tangled web of obama era red tape using the congressional review act congress repealed 15 major federal regulations that were literally stifling american enterprise. this alone is expected to save employers up to $36

house. basically, there is no chance that we're going bring this up. you see the hard-liners, the super anti-immigrant hard liners in the republican caucus. >> yes. >> now thinking that they're going get the most anti-immigrant bill they could hope for passed through the house because they got a scalp here in the shutdown. do you think that this politics is hardening in the republican party? and if so there s if there a democratic public to try to undermine it? >> well, first, the hard right has always oh posed immigration. donald trump ran on an anti-immigration platform, the tea party is one of their fundamental values is anti-immigrant, which is horrible, disgusting. but that's who they are. but here is what we think. if the senate passes the bill and it's bipartisan, we may be enough moderate and mainstream republicans in the house, many of whom are vulnerable for reelection who will feel they have to come across particularly if these sons of guns wait until after march 5th. and i think, god forbid, but the pictures of people being deported will rally the nation, and these more mainstream republicans admit lid, not a majority of the republican party

house. and threat of a shutdown over obama by republicans and it happened. tor chuck schumer said something really important to hear now. this is what he said then. >> basically, it's sort of like this, someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage, and then says let's negotiate over the price of your house. you know, we can do the same thing on immigration. we believe strongly in immigration reform. we could say we are shutting down the government. we are not going to raise the debt ceiling until you past immigration reform. it would be governmental chaos. >> okay. here we are senator democrats are about to let the government shutdown because they aren't getting immigration reform. it count be more perfect here. is this hypocrisy at its height? >> the president and the republican leadership in the house and senate are holding 700,000 young d.r.e.a.m.ers hostage to the political paralysis which the republicans have created. it is morally wrong to take these 700,000 kids, almost all of them in high school and college graduates, in the mili

after almost every republican voted to approve a house bill passed by the house republican majority, almost every senate democrat voted to turn off the government. they shut erred the federal government. what does that mean for the country, for the military, for you? joining me to kick off days of coverage the best and brightest, fairest and most prepared reporters inside the beltway. two of the news organizations best young reporters seung min kim and tim alberto. and courtney

there is no reason republicans who control the white house and congress should be once again to the precipice of another completely unnecessary crisis. we can get our worked on the moment republicans decide to stop focusing on president the latestt tweet or way he disparaged immigrants as soon as they stop with the brinkmanship and dysfunction. and as soon as they come to the table in good faith to work with us to get the votes needed to get this done. i am hopeful that that will happen, but time is running out. >> thank you, leader. i am going to be very brief. i think it is a sad state of affairs when a america's vulnerableake a -- take a backseat to wealthy donors. here is how you get to that judgment. this bill does not take care of community health centers. it does not take care of the home business program. it does not deal with key health services, rural health expenditures. but what it does do is it delays the health insurance tax. you get a sense that people who got a big chunk of tax relief at the end of last year, they are going to get even more in the house though. really a miss o

yet the republican-controlled house continue to plot democrats' efforts. last week i sent a letter calling on speaker ryan to allow the intelligence committee to continue its investigation but received no response. to date, the house has held only one full committee public hearing on the most significant findings of the report, the continued vulnerability of our elections to foreign interference. house republicans must show real leadership and join democrats to find answers to a multitude of vital unanswered questions. nothing less than the strength of our -- and integrity of america's democracy and national security are at stake. and that is what we take an oath of office to support and defend our constitution and the american people. i'm very pleased to be joined here by leadership of the committees of jurisdiction. i'm going to yield to

confidential. >> katie: and we find out who is deliberate. >> marie: we don't know. >> katie: house republicans hopeful in a memo they say shows the obama white house spied on the trump campaign will soon be public. a republican from ohio says the intelligence committee plans to release on releasing the four-page document but ones that once americans see it, they'll be surprised how bad it is. >> i read it twice just to make sure i read it properly and it was deeply disturbing. has anyone who's been in law enforcement, any american would say termination would be the least of these people's worries once they get to see the document. >> katie: sources telling fox news that republicans are moving ahead as quickly as they can to get the memo into the public domain. according to sources, republican house and tell leaders have so far denied the fbi access to the memo citing concerns the bureau has not been an honest broker and sharing information. ranking democrat in the house intelligence committee slamming the memo saying it is "rife with factual inaccuracies and referencing highly classified mater

house. republicans will say, oh, that's the dnc talking point. no, that's the reality. and the reason we got to this point is because it took mcconnell a beat to figure out where the white house stood. so when you go around and you go back, try to unpack how we got here, part of the dysfunction was in donald trump after diane feinstein spoke at that televised meeting which was televised to display donald trump's governing prowess, where diane feinstein said let's do a clean daca and he said, yeah, that sounds great. the white house has cast confusion, but the body is hobbled by dysfunction. >> that was a great article about you in the "new york times" yesterday. by the way, nicole, you're as good as that article, which is one hell of a statement. >> thank you. >> let me go to kasie hunt to answer the question. this idea that the president has been waiting out there, that he's not quite -- has he committed to pushing the house to do what the senate's doing? >> to my knowledge, chris, my reporting does not indicate that the president has done anything of the sort. now, obv

>> republicans control the house, the senate and the white house. that's a fair point. but you also know it requires a 60-vote threshold in the united states senate. we have 50 republicans present with john mccain's absence. therefore we need 10 democrats. they need to pass it in the house to keep it funded. what happens in the senate? senate democrats appear willing to shut down the government, stop paying our troops, stop paying our military in order to fight for illegal immigrants. >> but you think the freedom caucus on board, do you believe -- >> we believe they'll be able to secure enough republicanotes in the house to get this done. >> wolf, there you hrd mark short. he's keeping track of all these votes in the white house. he believes there are enough votes to get through the house, particularly the house conservatives who have blocked these things before. he thinks they're on board, but he says there is, of course, much more concern in the senate because they must hit the threshold of 60 votes. some democrats are saying they will not vote for this, but some repub

republican president, republican house, republican senate. republicans are, understandably, annoyed that congress can't actually pass a big budget, can't do the one basic thing they're elected to do, keep the government funded. they have every right to be annoyed. differences over defense spending, differences over other things. let's start with the internal republican divide. rachel, you walk the halls all the time. take a listen. >> do you have the votes? >> i don't know. we just -- you know, we're kind of figuring out what we're doing as of last night. we're hearing the plan. i guess our friends at the freedom club decided they wanted to oppose this. so we'll see. but you know, i ultimately think we're going to get through. i'm a little less optimistic this time than i was, say, december 23rd. that's not what i'm hearing from the freedom club, our friends over there. i don't know what their reasoning is because they're not the ones that have been advocating for robust military spending. in fact, many of them in the freedom caucus were fran

he is the eighth house republican committee chair who has decided to retire or run for a different officerall, the number of house republicans decline to go run for re-election has hit a record level this year, totalling 33 in what is shaping up to be a challenging midterm election year for republicans amid the continued retirement elections. a growing amount of data suggesting that the midterm elections may result in democrats taking control of the house of representatives from republicans, but a democratic takeover appears to be harder to achieve. you have andrew mccabe stepping aside, now the house is focused on rosenstein. a lot of liberties the president seems to have taken. should the democrats manage to win back the house if not the senate, what is the likelihood they will seek impeachment here? >> there's an absolute certainty that many of them would. there were 58 democratic members of the house who voted in december to impeach president trump. that's -- impeachment resolution did not cite high crimes and misdemeanors. the if democrats were to pick up more seats, there will be mo

house republicans and what's going to happen in the senate. obviously, in the senate, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell needs votes. there's a lot of interplay right there. in the house, they can pass this on their own. they have a simple majority, enough to pass a spending bill in the house. speaker paul ryan tonight had a closed door conference meeting with house republicans where a lot of republicans and a lot of senior aides came out of that meeting saying, things are pretty good. we think we can get this four-week spending bill done. we think we can get the majority to move this through, kick this over to the senate. now with this group of conservatives meeting behind closed doors, deciding that they are not in support of this, they're back to square one. right now, they need to figure out a pathway forward, or for republicans who don't want to deal with the daca issue now, who have made very clear that the bipartisan deal that's on the table right now is not sufficient, the deal the president himself rejected, if they can't pass a sp

now, republican leaders in the house have offered a continuing resolution that does not address some of the most pressing issues that face our country. instead, it just kick the can down the road. cr after cr. the house republican build a log of our veterans, who wait in line for service, the health they need. it does not make necessary investment to fight the scourge of opioid addiction, which has a stranglehold on so many of our communities, urban, suburban, rural. it does not honor the promise made to over one million pensioners who contributed to an earned every penny of their pensions. it does not fund community health centers or other important health programs that have lapsed. and i would say the defense also the republican side of the house , it does not give our military and our troops with secretary mattis said they need either. and of course, as senator durbin will get into, it does not provide the necessary protection for the dreamers. democrats have been negotiating in good faith. as many of our republican colleagues have noted. there is a bipartisan legislation. it does

he wouldn't be re-elected or he simply disagreed with the values of the, as i said, radical republican house i will say this. it shows that the republican effort is losing some of its critical members if you notice on monday, another republican house member from california ed royce chose not to run for re-election. you can see people deserting their team in a very surprising way. and i think it says a lot about the kind of momentum that they don't have and the kind of internal support, which they are clearly losing >> but tom, how does it differ from any other midterm cycle we know how these things generally go >> i think this is a different midterm. to me, we have such a stark choice in this midterm between two completely different value systems and views of america's future i think that you can see that the republicans have chosen to have a very divisive, openly racist way of thinking about world, and i think that what we are trying to do is talk much more about an inclusive, just, and prosperous future. i think americans are going to have a very, very stark choice to make. i don't think w

you have republicans in the white house. you have republicans controlling the house and the senate. when president obama was in the white house, republicans were in congress, republicans got blamed for a shutdown. now they have everything. so obviously they're going to get the blame. i think the president thinks that somehow he can spin a shutdown to his advantage, that he's standing up for the wall, he's standing up for changing family migration and all these other immigration issues. but i'm not sure he's on the right side of the politics on a lot of that. there's absolutely no way that this president can avoid blame for a shutdown when there's complete republican control of government, it's just not going to happen. >> nan, how does this play out? >> i agree with you, ben. i think the republicans usually do get blamed. i don't think that's fair. >> does that make members of the freedom caucus step back and say look, we can't afford this, this is a short-term deal, we need to get this done? >> i've been on those kinds of negotiations on those members of the house. yes, i think the

the difference in 2013 is there was a republican in the white house. this is total republican control, and we haven't seen a shutdown with total republican control. a story that i heard this morning that really underscores the point you were making, both of you were, about it being a blame game in public and not a lot behind the scenes. i talked to. this is where a lot of deals and bipartisan discussions get done. democrats and republicans realized how much they were talking past each other. they said, wait a minute. do you really think we're not going to deal with the d.e.a.m.ers in the nt month or two before the deadline? and the answer was, why would we? look at the mixed messages we're getting from you and the president? that we're not going to stand firm and allow. and the fact that these conversations are not happening in a more formal way, they're just acting organically ming senators who know that's not the way to pass this. >> is it trust that brings dysfunction or dysfunction that brings trust? we're also waiting for president trump to speak a

house. republican capture the house. hold it to this day. for president clinton and obama, those were first midterm. president trump will step in the clal about 46% approval rating well below president obama and a little above george bush in second midterm. easy for the democrats to get it back? no. but republicans what they hope is speech can be part of a building block for the president to move up from 40 to 41 and beyond. they think every point or two saves house seats. this is why the democrats are optimistic. only at the end of january. check the number in october. but if the president trump is low 40s by the time we get to notify democrats think maybe it won't be 60. maybe it won't be 52. but they need 24. that would be enough. so if you look at the numbers today, president approval rating, democrats think pretty good chance to get the house, reasonable to raise money. so watch the president approval rating. president's approval rating number one bo number one bar number one barometer. and president trump in trouble there, wolf. >> ple

is this is very lightweight in terms of the the the you know before i think having republicans in opposition in the house and having a democratic president like barack obama there was a lot more tension with regards to the government shutdown issue but as is as as divisive as trump is having a republican president in the executive and having a republican house and senate it's not as bad of an issue i think i think the media is looking for a lot of divisive issues in order to cover and make stories out of when they really should be investigating and sort of well really looking at themselves and the coverage that they've dedicated to let's say russian collusion over the last eighteen months which is you know by all accounts now we can seize on an official conspiracy theory that's been promulgated mainly by the democratic party and also by the never trump republicans who this is gus this man i'm on the alleged to base of surveillance powers by the f.b.i. and the justice department and while handling the trunk pressure investigation what do you make of these allegations that russia linked accounts are trying

even if it's not a political strategy or going to any time soon given how house republicans have lined up behind president trump. >> and the nixon process, no one was advocating impeachment and then during the the year of the watergate investigation, a year of this investigation is enough, he got big applause in the room that night from the republicans at least who had no expectation of going into an impeachment process. >> look partisanship is a heck of a drug, and on both sides. i've been disappointed by how congressional republicans have chosen the rule of trump over the rule of law, but in some ways if you look at the history of this country, the idea that they would defend a president of their own party is not shocking. i think you're making the point there, just because this hasn't happened so far, just because people haven't flipped on trump so far, those of us that are deeply alarmed by what he's doing, the way he's flouting the law again and again should not give up. it's important to continue pointing out what's going on here because at some point some of his support could st

the republicans are in control of the white house. the republicans through their appointees have a pretty decisive edge when it comes to the united states supreme court. in other words, when you look across the spectrum, the three branches of government, the republicans are in control. what are they offering us? the fourth c.r. now, a c.r. is washington talk. it's a continuing resolution. what does it mean? it means that the republican majority has failed, failed in 119 days to produce a budget for the united states of america. the republican majority in the house and senate with their president have failed to come up with a blueprint for spending for this great nation that we serve and are proud to be part of. their fourth failure to produce a budget in this fiscal year which began october 1 is before us now. was it negotiated between the republicans and democrats? no. it was produced in the house of representatives and with the senate. it was passed there by the republicans and a handful of democrats who supported it, and it was sent

after almost every republican voted to approve a house bill passed by the house republican majority, almost every senate democrat voted to turn off the government. they shut erred the federal government. what does that mean for the country, for the military, for you? joining me to kick off days of coverage the best and brightest, fairest and most prepared reporters inside the beltway. two of the news organizations best young reporters seung min kim and tim alberto. and courtney kube who covers our network and following closely the impact of the schumer shutdown on our army, navy, air force, marines, coast guard, reserved forces, intelligence community. thank you three for being up early after working late. seung min kim, he got it. he was too cool for school young kids who helped president obama's speeches were questioned this last night. why did chuck schumer do this? did his base demand it? >> i think there is considerable pressure from the democratic base for senate democrats to basically go all out in this spending fight to protect these d.r.e.a.m.ers who are in the united states

the republican house wants to see these 800,000 people deported. stephen miller, who was apparently running immigration strategy in the white house, he wants to see these people deported. so they're going to get deported. this is going to be a human tragedy that is a hell of a lot more important than who won some news cycle. >> so should the democrats have stuck to their line, avoided this deal? because the leverage they had is government shutdown? >> well, that's the only leverage they have, but you know what. there's a reason they call the minority party the minority. because they don't have the votes. and yes, it's true in the senate, you need 60 for a lot of things. but government shutdowns rarely work. the only reason ted cruz wasn't humiliated more when he caused a shutdown years ago, it's that the obamacare website went down right afterwards and everybody forgot about it. this is a disaster for these human beings. and they're the people i care about, not these politicians. >> jeff zeleny, a lot of people believe the only way, even if a compro

and they oppose it, you had a republican house vote handily to keep the government open. had the republican president support this bill that just has to be voted on to keep the government open, we'll have a weekend here, we have a grace period, maybe they can work out something new on the deadline, you get into monday, and then we have the big public relations battle and the polls become important. whoever's losing in the polls will probably over time -- >> where's jimmy kimmel on this. >> because he cares about the children's health insurance program, he's going on television talking about it, this was brought up as a clean bill in november. the deadline is today, and if they vote no. >> if this is -- >> the democrats win, trust me. >> i want to thank everyone on the panel. the senate vote expected just seconds from now, i want to hand things over to don lemon and cnn tonight. >>> indeed it is breaking news. will the government shutdown, you're going to find out in this broadcast. look at the pictures live, they're from the senate floor, can you see some folks still scurr

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 staff gave him really bad advice between 10:00 to 12:00 on thursday. i think the president i saw on tuesday is the guy i play golf with. actually like the guy. he's actually funny. i thought he commanded the room. and the conversation at 10:00 on thursday was pretty

the fact is the republicans control the white house, the senate, and the house of representatives. that means you get to set the agenda, you get to set the schedule, but republican leaders watched and did nothing as the deadline for chip funding passed in the fall. so what you had at the end of the year, mr. president, is this picture of how millions of american kids were lower on the list of the republican priorities than borrowing $1.5 trillion in order to give additional money to multinational corporations, the political donor class, and the multinational corporations were already awashed in cash. since then there's been a near constant stream of republicans saying in print again and again they are all for the children's health insurance program, by god, they just want to take care of the kids. the fact is those republicans speaking out on television had months to act. they had almost a year. the program expired 111 days ago, and the finance committee passed a bipartisan bill which really kicked this all off. i felt very strongly about doing that. the chairman has a long history

house and senate. many say republicans in the house would not vote for a bill that republicans in the senate would vote for. what is the middle ground you guys would go to if it came down to an immigration compromise that the where could you meet? where is the point of compromise? >> the firstborn of operation is get the government-funded and stop this shutdown. negotiations were going on. there were negotiations in good faith in the house and senate, the white house over .mmigration, the daca x -- fix there was large support moving forward on that. we need more time, and that should not be used to put the country through this shutdown when the country -- the shutdown is completely unnecessary and hurting people when it does not need to happen. >> today, the first day of the shutdown. a couple hours old. it's clear you guys are trying to pin this on democrats. how long can it last, though, before you have to start worrying about the public turning on you and saying that republicans are in charge, why don't they just open the government backed up? -- back up? a senate democrats made choice last night, a

house, thank you very much. joining us now, senator ron johnson. he's a republican. he serves on the budget and foreign relations committees. senator johnson, thanks so much for joining us. >> wolf. >> if the short-term spending bill in the next hour or two passes the house of representatives, comes to the senate, will you vote for it? >> i'll definitely vote for it. and i think most republicans will. the only question is, will democrats join us so we can avoid the government shutdown? >> what do you think? because you need 60 votes in the senate. you got 51 republicans. if senator mccain, unfortunately, can't make it from arizona, because of his illness, you've got 50 republicans. you need ten democrats. you got ten democrats? >> at least. i don't know. and they're being somewhat coy. obviously, they're talking a good game right now, but when it comes right down to whether we're going to shut down the government, hopefully they'll have clearer heads and, you know, they will actually vote to have the government continue. >> reporter: because even some republicans in t

in the house, the republicans did their job. >> republicans control the house. republicans control the senate republicans control the presidency. republicans want the government to stay open, it will stay open. >> the bill would give both party more time to work through the differences they've been unable to resolve for months. white house officials say the problem is bigger than any legislation. >> what's missing in this conversation is the complete dysfunction of congress and it inability to actually complete appropriations process. >> in the event after shut- down, the interior department plans to keep national parks and other public lands accessible. shuttered parks became symbol of washington dysfunction during the last shut-down. weijia jiang, for cbs-3, " eyewitness news." >>> well, today president trump plans to address the annual march for life on the national mall. the nation's largest pro-life event. yesterday, the president was in pittsburgh, where he toured the h and k an industrial equipment company. president trump says his tax cuts are already hav

republicans control the white house, the white house and the senate. 've seen congress get blamed for past shutdowns when there was split control. '95, '96, republicans got the blame. newt gingrich got the blame. 2013, john boehner and house republicans took the blame even with boem in the -- with barack obama in the whougs. >> is there a case to be made that putting daca/the d.r.e.a.m.ers into this cr is a mistake? there's too much to it. you're not going to get just that, whether a wall component and/or security, chain migration, the lottery, do you think there's just too much to fit it in in two days? >> no comprehensive immigration reform is enough to plesh by friday, but the terms of the graham/durbin bill, which 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 interes

for the near term, that means all focus will be on house republicans. house republican leaders trying to figure out a way to craft the bill that can get their defense hawks that are worried about another continuing resolution without raising the current spending caps, as well as enough for conservatives to get the requisite number of votes to move it forward. that's the first step. then comes the senate. now, we wait. christine and dave? >> phil mattingly, thank you very much. three days to shutdown. >>> the trump administration not giving up its efforts to end the daca program. the justice department plans to ask the supreme court to intervene after a judge last week blocked the president's attempt to end protections for immigrants brought here illegally as children. it is rare to ask that the supreme court weigh in before the appeals court has its say. attorney general jeff sessions claims the decision by a california-based federal judge defies both law and common sense. the judge ordered the administration to resume taking daca renewal applications. and ho

negotiations to continue. >> and then on the first immigration -- >> what's going on -- these are house republican whose came up with their own bill to deal with immigration within the four pillars that were discussed yesterday. that is dealing with daca, border security, chain migration and the visa lottery. separately, house and senate republicans and democrats are meeting to try and carve out something else. this is democracy at work the way it goes these days. people just come up with their own bills and something will happen. clint watts is with me. is jonathan -- i want to check if he's -- go to jonathan a second to help make sense of this, jonathan. still have my panel with knee. with me. i don't really get it. i'll hearing we're close on a deal. they figured out, got rid of a bunch of stuff and focusing on four things calling it kp ing i comprehensive immigration reform. it's not. it's four things they're dealing with. what's going on in nyour opinio here? >> a bunch of different groups working on immigration policies and trying to compete to be the one that gets picked up. the most seriou

house republicans and what happens in the senate. mitch mcconnell needs democratic votes. that's in play right there, because of the daca issue. in the house, they can pass this on their own. they have a simple majority, enough to pass a spending bill. paul ryan tonight had a closed door conference meeting with house republicans. where a lot of republicans came out of that meeting saying we think we can get this four-week spending bill done and get the majority to kick this over to the senate. now, with this group of conservatives meeting behind closed doors deciding that they are not in support of this, they're back to square one. right now they need to figure out a pathway forward. for republicans who don't want to deal with the daca issue now, who made clear that the bipartisan deal on the table is not sufficient. the deal president himself rejected. if they can't pass a spending bill on their own in the house, they don't have a plan. so there's a lot of talks right now in terms of how this will progress. this all happened just within the last three hours. things seemed

house. we know what happened there. republicans gained a whopping 54 seats that year and control of the house. at that time, the first time in nearly two generations. we'll be right back. hello mom. amanda's mom's appointment just got rescheduled - for today. amanda needs right at home. our customized care plans provide as much - or as little help - as her mom requires. whether it's a ride to the doctor or help around the house. oh, of course! tom, i am really sorry. i've gotta go. look, call right at home. get the right care. right at home. >>> welcome back. so -- is the bannon banishment a cautionary tale for republicans overall? that is -- if you break with the president, he can break you. does that put some republicans in tight races this year in a tricky spot? joined by cory gardner of colorado, chairman of the senate gubernatorial committee meaning it is his job to get republicans elected this year. i'm guessing you want re-elections as well. a lot to talk about. daca, and this. start with daca. start about daca with you firs

there is the other chamber that republicans control. >> right. >> and a guy in the white house named d trump who is a republican. >> yeah. i'm surprised. >> when i heard -- i want to hear from you, dana. talking about diversity visa, ending chain migration, the wall, daca. but she wouldn't elaborate in talking about a permanent solution but not necessarily a pathway to citizenship. i'm left with a cartoon with the head spinning around. how will this not be groundhog day in three weeks because of your point about the other chamber and the house? game it out. what do the next three weeks look like? >> listen, that's a good point. because we have seen what's happened when the republicans and democrats have relied on the president to show leadership, my sense in observing both mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer and talking to sources around them is that this is taking the reins back and trying to force a solution. mitch mcconnell has a history of doing this. it's different now. he has one of his own party and the us who. but he was the guy who struck many deals with joe biden when he was v

the house is completely under water and the republicans in the house are playing with fire.f you look at where we are in this election season with democrats now having this big lead in the generic ballot, that is driven mostly by voters who are uneasy about trump and what more of a check and oversight on him. to the extent that house republicans send the signal they are unwilling to provide that check, i think they leave themselves open to what we probably be the most efactsive democratic argument that you need a counterbalance to a president that most americans at best are ambivalent. >> but when you're looking at and talking to the people who are in these districts, which are ruby ruby red for the most part -- >> right. >> you have a different kind of sensibility. >> all right. we're going to be speaking with mark warner, that's coming up very soon. everybody stand by. there are a lot of other developments unfolding, including involving north korea. how will kim jong-un respond to president trump's latest jab about the size of his nuclear button? >>> our breaking news, the

unwilling to accept that offer. >> reporter: a white house spokesperson said president trump spent a good part of the day on the phone. spoke with republican the house as well as senate majority whip. while the president has the yet to address the nation, he did record a statement, that was shown to guests at a gala held last night at his mar a lago resort to celebrate his first year in office. elaine. >> margaret brennan, thank you. >>> the national women's march held its main event today in las vegas with the goal of getting women to march off to the polls in november's midterm elections. in a cbs news poll out this weekend, 54% of women and 39% of men, say it is very important to them that more women are elected to office. 48% say the country would be better off. 42% say it wouldn't change much. here's mireya villarreal. >> reporter: from football stadium to swing state battleground. [ applause ] thousand filled the stands of san boyd stadium in las vegas sunday morning. >> equality for all! >> one year ago millions marched around the country for women's rights marking the largest single day demonstration in u.s. history. today's rally

yet the republican controlled house continues to block democrats' efforts to investigate the attack. last week i sent a letter calling on speaker ryan to let the investigation continue but received no response. today the house has held one full committee public hearing on the most significant finding of the report. the continued vulnerability of our elections to foreign interference. house republicans must show leadership and join democrats to find answers to the multitude of vital unanswered questions. nothing less than the strength of and integrity of america's democracy and national security are at stake. that is what we take an oath of office to support and defend the constitution and american people. i'm pleased to be joined this afternoon by leadership of the committees of jurisdiction. i'll yield now to representative thompson. thank him for his great leadership in protecting our system and protecting our homeland security. mr. thomas? >> thank you, very much, madam leader. as most of you know, at some point the trump administration finally acknowledged that there had been rus

but let's be clear the white house is aware of these optics, this is a republican controlled white house and republican controlled congress. they know what the optics are going to be if the government does shut down while they are in control. yesterday at the press briefing, sarah sanders said that the white house was still looking to get a clean two-year budget deal but i've been speaking with sources inside the white house this morning after the republican leadership proposed plan b essentially last night and they said we can expect to see some kind of formal support for this proposal come out of the white house here today. now, we haven't heard from the president on this directly, but there certainly is a chance we could today as he travels to capitol hill this afternoon for a congressional ceremony to honor former senator bob dole. the white house said there are no plans for the president to stop into any lawmaker's offices while he's there but this is certainly a president where he makes up his mind on spot and can certainly choose to do so if he feels he needs to garner a little mo

the president, the republican leadership in the senate and house, republican members in the senate and house, as well as democratic members in the senate and the house. there are a lot of different views. things are going to be discussed. i want to go back to the central theme of the wednesday meeting with president trump. it was to do this in two phases. do both of them relatively soon, but to do immediately, according to the president, very focused on getting this done before the 19th of january when we have the continuing resolution under consideration of protecting the dreamers. obviously we all know there are other things that were discussed and brought up and added to discussion points by the majority leader in the house. they dealt with family reunification. they dealt with what i want to leasesportunity --visas.. what i want to call opportunity visas, diversity visas, but the principal perspective of the meeting, and i hope whatever comes out of the senate agreement, an agreement which would be necessary to have the president sign off on is compatible with the items we can supp

scalise said today no deal with the house, basically there's no chance that we're going to bring this up. you see the super anti-immigrant hardliners in the republicanaucus thinking they're going to get the most anti-immigrant bill they could possibly hope for pass in the house because they got a scalp for the shutdown. do you think that this politics is hard i don't knening in the party and, if so, is there a democratic plan to counter that? >> the tea party, one of their fundamental values is anti-immigrant, which is horrible, disgusting, but that's who they are. but here is what we think. if the senate passes bill, there might be enough mainstream and moderate s in the house, particularly if these sons of guns wait until the rally. and then you have the whimsical, that's a kind word, donald trump. he may wake up one morning and say "get this bill done, we're still in play, we're in better shape than we were five days ag ago," and you're right. and we got to maybe not lose the spirit of the fight. i'm not giving up. i hope you won't, rachel. >> keep us apprised. >> you never know what happens and you got to keep fighting. >> all right, we'll be ri

the house republican leadership is expressing confidence the house will have enough votes to pass the short term resolution. president trump said in this new reuters interview that he does think an immigration deal remains possible but he called the bipartisan deal presented to him by senators lindsey graham and dick durbin the opposite of what i campaigned for and unacceptable. that's a for cry from what we heard the president say to senators durbin and others just eight days ago. >> this group comes back hopefully with an agreement. this group and others from the senate and the house, comes back with an agreement. i'll be signing it. i won't say, oh, gee, i want this or that. i'll take the heat. i don't care. i'll take all the heat you want to give me. >> cnn is at the white house now. the president also in this interview took something of a shot at senator graham over the immigration deal. >> reporter: yes, although they've had a difficult relationship in the past, they've grown quite close. the president said despite the fact he thought lindsey graham meant well during those immig

house side. on the senate side, equally as tricky. tonight, senate republicanshe votes needed from senate democrats to get a passed through, and that's only if the house sends their bill s to the at some point. a lot of finger pointing going on up here, wolf, and there's certainly no absence of complicated fast-moving dynamics at play, but the only two d dynamics right now to remember is that as of tomorrow midnight, the government runs out of money, and right now, there's no clear path forward to avoid that. >> could be a disaster unfolding. all right, thank you very much. >>> with stopgap spending bill debated on the house floor, let's bring in the specialist, are we headed towards a government shutdown? >> very well could happen, absolutely could happen. you know -- there might be a way for everybody to take a breath and agree to do a few p days so that it does not technically shut down, but as laid out, and as you discussed with congressman meadows, the votes are not there for the current plan in the house of representatives, and that is to fund the governme
