rand paul, the republican senator from kentucky said no. had 99 other senators saying yes, let's vote on thursday afternoon and get this under the wire, move it through the senate and the house before midnight. rand paul said no. he wanted to have a longer debate. he wanted to have amendments. he said we will drive up all this bending here and we should not be doing that. we should at least have a debate and vote on lifting their spending caps. so he went to the mat, he received some very hardy criticism from john cornyn, the republican rep, also tom tillis, republican senator from north carolina who called the theater. he apologized to federal workers indicating that they didn't have clarity on whether or not they should be going to work in the morning. he said why are you trying to make a point? rand paul says they want to make a point that we shouldn't be approving the spending without having a full debate. thom tillis shot back, you don't see anger like this in the senate floor, these harsh words exchanged between senators very often. he

by and large, republican senator chuck grassley from iowa and lindsey graham, republican senator fromhey're by no means trump lackeys. and their memo really does substantiate the idea that members of the obama administration or the fbi got a fisa warrant out on carter page on relatively flimsy evidence. it's a partisan issue, but i do think there's been some serious evidence submitted to the american public that this fisa warrant was taken out on flimsyish evidence. >> so is chris wray protecting his people because he wasn't there at the time, or is chris wray disagreeing? >> i don't want to speculate on what his motivations are, but the news memo did come out and it strikes a lot of people, what were the national security implications here? that caution or all the hysteria beforehand was sort of dismissed out of hand by people who read the memo and couldn't see what the national concerns were. >> and the next chapter will be if the democrats can come to some kind of agreement to get their redaction out. >>> president trump supports victims of domestic violence? rob porter's ex-pooiwi

now just a short time ago, a group of republican senators introduced a proposal for debate in the senatemorrow and one of those republicans joins us now. oklahoma senator james lankford. >> this is dealing with naturalization of 1.8 million dreamers. those are folks in damma wrak oa eligible. if you have 1.8 million people going through naturalization that effects a lot of people unless you do the family reunification. this is a compromised proposal. it doesn't deal with big issues that have been controversial like things about material enforcement or sanctuary cities. it deals with just those key issues. >> your proposal we do know has support from republican senators. chuck grassley, cornin, purdue, cotton, earnest. all republicans. tend to be further right than some who are more in the middle. how are you planning to get to 60 votes? do you have democrats on board with what you are proposing? >> this is an ongoing conversation. now to get things on paper, get them out and initiate the debate. we think this is a compromised proposal over a lot that have come out the past few months and

eight of us got together five years ago and for republican senators and four democratic senators and we spent months debating a new immigration systemri for america. you might say it modestly but we've done a good job. he presented it in the senate judiciary committee and faced over 100 different members, people who wanted to change it. at the end of the day we had a bill thought to the senate floor in the past with a substantial overwhelming bipartisan vote. it was comprehensive, immigration reform. we tackled every aspect of it from ag labors to each one of these to the dream act to undocumenteden right on through and we passed in here in the senate but of course with our bicameral system of the o government we needed the house to tackle the same problem and they refused. they wouldn't even consider the bill we passed. they wouldn't come up with an alternative and they wouldn't try to amend it said will not talk about it. and they didn't. for five years we have done nothing in this year we have a chance to do something. the fact is we need to do something. on september 5th of last

after a lot of negotiation back and forth, senator mcconnell, the republican leader, agreed that this week, we would debate immigration and daca. the dream act. it would come to the floor of the united states senate. i am excited about it, although i have no idea how this debate will end. most good debates you don't know. depends on the strength of an argument as to whether a measure is going to pass or not pass but certainlien issue i've been waiting for. in fact i've been waiting fife years for it. it's a long time, even by senate standards every time been five years since we actually debated immigration on the floor of the united states senate. it's not because the immigration laws of america are so perfect. far from that. it's because it's a tough issue. it's a delicate issue. it's a -- always has been in america. i just have this notion that as soon as the may flower he land, the passengers said hope no people are coming, perfectly happy with this country the way way see it. throughout our history, waves of immigrants have come to make america what it is today and there's always

the drama began last night when republican senator rand paul used a procedural tactic to block the senate from speeding up the vote so that congress could meet the midnight debt line to approve the bill. paul wanted senators to keep him on a vote. he protested the large price tag of the deal. senate majority dealer mitch mcconnell and majority leader chuck schumer pleaded with paul objecting to the plan to allow the procedural vote to happen so they could finalize the deal. but paul did not waiver, beginning an hours long filibuster. take a listen. >> speaker of the house supports the bill, is waiting for it to pass the senate. the president of the united states supports the bill. and is waiting to sign it into law. now, i understand my friend and colleague from kentucky does not join the president in supporting the bill. and it's his right, of course, to vote against the bill. but i would argue that it's time to vote. >> i very much appreciate my good friend, the junior senator from kentucky, his fidelity to spending, something we don't agree with, his fidelity to trying to get his amend

joining me now is a cosponsor of that piece, republican senator senator of iowa.hank you so much for being back with us. >> thank you so much. >> shannon: we want to give people -- a pathway to citizenship. $25 billion for border security trust fund. you will limit chain migration, not get rid of it, but then reallocate diversity visa lottery slots as well. it sounds a lot like we heard from the white house. some tweaks. >> it does mirror with the white house has put out previously. we are excited about the opportunity to really work on this legislation. we think that it will be a good pathway forward for those daca recipients and important for the folks back in iowa, that it does have border security and protections in place in this bill as it is. we are excited. >> shannon: how do you respond to those who say, but you are not getting the wall, per se. >> we are. in certain areas of course there will need to be a physical structure. but in other areas, that may not be necessary, so we can rely on other technologies like radar, overhead security with unmanned vehi

in fact, the only reason it didn't clear this chamber already was because the republican senator from utah objected to it. such is the vice script that the ideologues from the gun lobby have on the entire republican party. they are so against what america wants. they are so against what rank and file republicans want. even on something as limited as fix nics, the gun groups find a way to get in the way. now, i believe the priority of this chamber should be to pass universal background checks. that would accomplish what fix nics does and a lot more. president trump has said, quote, that he would push strongly comprehensive background checks, unquote, in the wake of parkland. well, we democrats are calling on him today to keep his word. we sent him a letter and we're asking to support existing legislation, bipartisan legislation, that close the loopholes that allows anyone to purchase a gun at a gun show or the internet without a background check. these loopholes make no sense. leaving these loopholes unclosed would be as if we checked someone's i.d. at the liquor store but not at the b

republican and democratic leaders of the senate announced an agreement today on a long- term budget deal that could head off another government shutdown tomorrow night if the house goes along. but the bill is facing opposition there, including in the form of a record-breaking speech today. nancy pelosi, the minority leader, spoke against the bill for more than eight hours, the longest continuous speech on the house floor in well over a century. she just wrapped up. chief congressional correspondent nancy cordes is at the capitol. >> i'm pleased to announce that we have reached a two-year budget deal. >> reporter: the massive agreement directs relief to all corners, from a cash-strapped military to storm-ravaged states. >> this bill is the product of extensive negotiation. >> reporter: it addresses several looming crises, funding the government for six weeks and raising federal budget caps for two years with the increase divided almost equally between defense and domestic spending. the bill also lifts the nation's debt ceiling for a year and allocates $90 billion in emergency funds for ar

and pushing and doing everything they can to get their trillion dollar deficit through. >> republican senatornyn blamed senator paul for missing the deadline. this deal is good for section weeks. lawmakers have until march 23rd to work out a longer term deal. a daca deal is not part of the budget but house speaker paul ryan intends to bring the issue up soon. >>> stocks are open higher on wall street following a tumultuous week. the dow is up about 304 points. don't celebrate just yet, though. in days past the dow has opened up -- [ laughter ] >> -- and closed way down. we'll continue to keep an eye on this all day long. >>> the white house is under scrutiny for what it knew about a staff member rob porter. he was fired after allegations of spousal abuse by two women. the white house says that chief of staff john kelly only fully knew of the accusations this week. sources claim that the fbi informed the administration back in november. >>> a leading figure in the antisexual harassment movement is being accused of groping a male staffer from another lawmaker's office! politico first reported t

a lot of frustrated republicans. senator paul is saying in principle you are opposed to obama deficits but in favor of trump deficits? charles: the republicans' cried, screamed and warned us every single day that president obama was running up the credit card. now that they have the credit card they run out and use it. you don't come out and say you have got a deal unless you already know you have the backing of the rest of the party. >> they may still get to 60 votes. but you have fiscal hawks who won't vote for it. i think a lot are teeter-tottering. i don't know what will happen in the house. you have a split in the freedom caucus as to whether they would vote for it. but the democrats should take this deal. it gives them everything they asked for. charles: when chuck schumer was talking, it was like he was talking to nancy pelosi. >> there is nothing that got cut. charles: the freedom caucus and nancy pelosi join forces and hold their ground. are we in a bizarre world? >> nancy pelosi has been all over the map. i don't k

the democrats to start making some concessions and take yes for an answer. >> a couple of your senate republican colleagues, even just tonight, have said they are willing to do a one for one deal, border security for dak chld daca. why do you think they are undermining the president's plan? >> ultimately, if the senators in both parties have a choice between the president's proposal or nothing at all, i think the president's proposal will succeed. because it provides legal status and ultimately citizenship for 1.8 million people. it also secures our southern border. it also ends the practice of extended family chain migration, all of which are more than 70% popular among american people. put them together and two-thirds of the american people want them. >> senator dick durbin predicted no democrat would actually vote for this proposal. what role do you all see yourselves in going forward in this debate as it continues, is this your best and final? >> dick durbin and chuck schumer shut down the government over no strings attached amnesty for all individuals and that didn't go so well for them. th

republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina on the dhs opposing that says that it seems as if dhs is intent on acting less like a partner and more like an adversary, the comments from the south carolina senator. the president also weighing in on immigration more broadly this morning on twitter, saying that while the republicans and democrats in congress are working hard to come up with a solution to daca, they should be strongly considering a system of merit-based immigration so that we'll have the people ready, willing, and able to help all of those companies moving into the u.s. we will hear from a couple of those senators, part of that bipartisan coalition, next here on c-span3. the debate on immigration continuing on the senate floor with four measures, as we mentioned, under consideration. you can follow the senate debate on c-span2. >> nice to have such a good group. turn off your phone. >> come on in. >> i'm going to stand with the vertically

but the intervention of republican senator rand paul appears to have delayed a vote in the senate. ngs earlier. iranfor i ran for office because i was very critical of president 0bama's trillion dollar deficits. now we have republicans hand—in—hand with democrats, offering us trillion dollar deficits. i can't, democrats, offering us trillion dollar deficits. ican‘t, in democrats, offering us trillion dollar deficits. i can't, in all good honesty, and all good faith, just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits. but really, who is to blame? both parties. we have a 700 page bill that no one has read that was printed at midnight. no one will read this bill. nothing will be reformed. the west will continue, and the government will keep taking your money irresponsibly and 83 $20 trillion that. —— the waste. let's talk to our north american correspondent peter bowes. it is late at night here. this will be resolved by the time americans wa ke be resolved by the time americans wake up in the morning. that is how short lived it could be. and that is a short lived

now you're back again with a republican president, a republican house, and a republican senate. the way to get to a deal is increase spending. >> but one of the elements of those three that you mentioned, the republican president, is not a person who has ever demonstrated -- >> he loves debt. >> so he never demonstrated the same kind of devotion to deficit cutting that other republicans, some other republicans have. and in fact, he hasn't sort of demonstrated a core when it comes to fiscal issues on anything. so people are left to wonder where is he going to be. that's one of the issues in daca as well, that people that aren't exactly sure which side he's going to come down on in the end. i think the fiscal issues are the same. >> fiscal issues are the same. here's a remarkable thing. we'll talk about the substance of the deal. this is the senate side. you first reported this over the weekend. a big two-year deeal, which a lt of people thought was impossible. they're trying to put everything into this one basket, get it through the senate, and have the house sign on to it. yester

senate floor until 1:00 a.m. if he chooses to do so. he's been asked a couple times by republicanso end this debate early and go to the vote early so they can possibly save the shutdown. we'll be right back with live coverage and analysis of the situation on the senate floor tonight and in the house of representatives. in the modern world, it pays to switch things up. you can switch and save time.

we're back in the ball game. >> republican senator susan collins adds majority leader colonmitch mcconnell could begi immigration debate by allowing both sides of the aisle to offer amendments as opposed to introducing a bill written behind closed doors exclusively by republicans. >> john kelly says he expects recommendations by tomorrow on how to handle the democratic memo rebutting republican claims of surveillance abuses by the fbi. kelly says the democratic memo is lengthier than the gop's and claims the white house is not leaning in either direction when it comes to releasing it to the public. but he did offer up this warning -- >> where the first was clean relative to sources and methods, my initial cut is this one is a lot less clean. but at the end of it all, it will be guys like rod rosenstein, chris wray from fbi, certainly the national security attorneys at the white house given the president's recommendation on it. >> important to note, fbi advised against releasing the republicans' nunes memo, but the president did it anyway. mr. trump met tuesday with deputy attorney general

. >> compromise version negotiated between two republican senators had backing of 8 republican senators and likely could have passed that this bill would undermine border security, lead to flood of illegal immigrants coming in that would hurt american workers and a lot of hyperbolic rhetoric. paul: a loss by six votes, basically. >> right, almost all democrats voted for the bill, we don't know if they would have if president trump hadn't issued his veto threat. paul: probably. >> enough would and garnered enough support from other republicans, moderate republicans. paul: jason, this is what puzzles me, the wall, one of the symbolic proposal, he got the money for it, why? >> i think the president has gotten too greedy on this issue. he has to decide whether he wants partial victory or total defeat. that's the decision he needs to make. traditionally the trade-off here is legal status for the illegal dreamers versus border security, instead the restrictions wanted more. we want absolute reduction in legal immigration as well. paul: they used this as political ledge to get large part of ad

you need to distinguish between what wayne lapierre is saying and what the congress and republican senatend republican house actually believe. and that is that they came up with this as their belief system, that they idealogically believe that the second amendment is a right and they don't want to do anything to infringe upon that. when that is your baseline, not just because the nra says something but because this is what they believe and this is, more importantly, what their constituents believe and why they get reelected and why they're in congress in the first place, i think it leads one to be skeptical of anything happening right now. the wild card is the president. the president is backed by the nra. the president who rally after rally after rally made so clear his pro-gun stance. if he is serious about various proposals, then perhaps that makes something happen on capitol hill. but i think it's also important to note that 240 characters does not a proposal make. what does bump stocks mean? raising the age for ar-15s mayor m may or may not happen. >> you have seen republicans change

and the reason for the last-minute drama was republican senator rand paul. who used a procedural tactic to block the senate from speeding up the vote. so that congress could meet the midnight deadline. paul wanted senate leaders to give him a vote on an amendment that would keep budget caps in place. and he protested the large pricetag of the deal. >> i can't in all good honesty, in all good faith just look the other way, because my party is now complicit in the deficit. really, who is to blame? both parties. we have a 700-page bill that no one has read, that was printed at midnight no one will read this bill, nothing will be reformed. the waste will continue and government will keep taking your money and adding to a $20 trillion debt. >> so -- jake sherman, i tweeted yesterday that i hear rand paul is delivering a speech the way conservatives i guess last century used to deliver speeches. you don't vote for 700-page bills that you don't read that are going to increase the federal debt, that are going to increase the deficit. that are going to do all the thin

senate has complained about that. this isn't just a part san issue. you have trump appointees, republicanste, versus devin nunes and the house intelligence republicans. >> people have been wondering what position paul ryan would take on this. we have a little breaking news on this. it's just been reported that he favors releasing the democratic rebuttal to it as well as the nunes memo. >> that is late breaking news because that hasn't been his position. >> let me say one thing, what we don't know, i don't think it's stated clearly, does he favor releasing them at the same time. that's the issue. the issue has been that speaker ryan was slow walking the democratic memo. >> i think paul ryan will look back on this episode with real regret. he's sewing his own reputation here. the institutional damage that is being done by this episode is going to be felt for a long time. >> meaning what? you think he should be on the side of the fbi and the department of justice over the president, and he's not done that? >> i think he should be on the side of the process of the institution. he has responsib

. >> reporter: late last night, republican senator rand paul repeatedly objected to calls for a vote before 1 a.m. paul did so to protest what he calls runaway government spending. >> the hypocrisy is astounding. every republican complained about president obama's deficits and yet now we have them out there bragging and pushing and doing everything they can to get their trillion dollar deficit through. >> reporter: fellow republican senator john cornyn who was trying to get the vote to the floor before midnight blamed paul for missing the deadline. >> the senator from kentucky by objecting to the unanimous consent request will effectively shut down the federal government for no real reason. the outcome will be exactly the same. >> reporter: the budget deal that passed, though, only funds the government for another six weeks meaning if lawmakers can't work out a longer term deal in that time, the government could face a third shutdown. hena doba, cbs news. >> the shutdown will continue until president trump signs the bill. >>> canada's prime minister justin trudeau is waking up in san

what was the mood in the senate if you are watching rand paul continuously object to republican leadership trying to move forward with this stopgap bill and to your been expelled? >> this has been sleep deprived. you had senators who did not want to be there. they were blaming rand paul for this. take a stand, he didn't care about the consequences. he wanted to make sure that this package didn't get through without a fight. he certainly brought that fight. --was on the floor for about from about 1:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. when his time ran out, they got moving very quickly. it was a quick pace at the senate they had it all within a couple of minutes. the senators were ready to get out of there. >> it went over to the house and passed over there. you had democrats objecting in both chambers. they had the number to pass this. what happens now? >> we finally have the top line spending levels that everyone had been asking for for nearly one year now. appropriators can get to work and start writing the trillion dollar bill that will send the government -- fund the government. the bill that was j

we are joined by republican senator from south carolina lindsey graham, who just walked out the senateloor. what is the mood like over there? i got to say, i think that your colleague, senator rand paul, has done something that it's been tough to do lately, which is good bipartisan agreement on something. everybody's mad at him, including you? >> it's not that i'm mad at him, he's very sincere. i think he is doing a very dangerous thing. to president trump, if you are watching tonight -- >> shannon: i'm sure he is. >> thank you and god bless you for fighting for the men and women in the military. by the sunrise tomorrow, i won't get much sleep, but the military will have $160 billion they desperately need. we are spending at an all-time low on our military since world war ii, more people have been killed in training accidents than in combat. donald trump is delivering on his campaign process to rebuild the military. anti-senator paul, the deficit is a problem, the debt is a problem. entitlement reform is necessary and i applaud you for being courageous enough to talk about delaying ret

senate? >> no, and let me tell you why. in the house of representatives, the republicans control the house, and unlike the senate, there's no 60-vote filibuster. republicans can pass the senate deal, any legislation they want just on their votes. but if they want my vote, then they need to negotiate with us. and one of my reasonable requests is a fix to daca so we don't deport 1.8 million people, and if they don't need my vote, they can pass it by themselves on their own votes. >> nancy pelosi says if the speaker, paul ryan, agrees to do what mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate, did, have a fair, full debate on the senate floor or the house floor on the dreamers, on daca, that she probably will change her mind. right now she doesn't have that commitment from the speaker. if you get that commitment from the speaker, will you vote for it? >> i likely would. let's think how ludicrous this is. speaker ryan won't even allow a debate on daca, won't even allow us to just cast votes on legislation that is bipartisan, that could address this problem. it's because speaker ryan's position is so absurd and extreme that

. >> late last night, republican senator rand paul repeatedly object today calls for a vote before 1:00 a.m. paul did protest what he called run away government spending. the the hippocras is he astounding. everyone every these republicans complained about president obama's deficits, yet now we have them out there bragging and pushing and doing everything they can to get their trillion dollar deficit through. >> fellow republican senator john, trying to get the vote to the floor before midnight, blamed paul for missing the deadline. >> the senator from kentucky by objecting to the union mat request will effectively shut down the federal government. for no real reason. the outcome will be exactly the same. >> the bill now heads to the house, for approval this morning. some democrats there have said they won't give the go ahead unless they get assurances the house will set a date to vote on a daca immigration deal. conservative republicans also object. for them, though, over the increased deficit, the plan would create. the bill does get through the, it then heads to president trump's d
