schumer begged off. he says you need to talk to somebody who knows the white house better than i do, but in response to that last question, what is the endgame, schumer did not provide a lot of guidance. that was one of the big question marks hanging in the air after the press conference. what is the endgame? how do democrats get out of this situation? so much of the republicans in the 2013 -- they are the ones who defeated the funding measure. a need to come up with a solution to get us past this. i think that's why they are feeling pressure. i just saw a report by nbc news, and anonymous democratic aide aide saying i don't think we know what our endgame here is. that's what mcconnell is counting on. that's why i don't think he's interested in negotiating. he's going to bring this new measure to the floor. he's going to give the same speeches he did friday night, putting pressure on these 10 democrats, running for reelection in 2018 in straits -- states that trump won and see if they voted down again. i

schumer's mischaracterization.ne of the things that he told the president was, i will give you all the money you want for your wall, and the president said, that's great, i need $20 billion. billion,no, only $1.6 that is all you asked for in the 2018 budget. $1.6 billion request in the 2018 budget that we would like to see in the 2018 appropriations bill. that is not all the money for the wall, nor was it ever intended to be all the money for the wall. but chuck schumer had the gall to look at the president and said i am giving you everything you asked for. that is the type of negotiation mr. schumer has been engaged in, and you have to ask yourself, at what point is this even become profitable to work with someone like that? mr. schumer will have to up his game, be more honest with the president of the united states, if we will see progress on that front. >> how long will the shutdown last? >> you have to ask congress. democrats in the senate could end the shutdown today. we -- there are different things on the ho

it probably is chuck schumer.rom my understanding he talked to a kooucouple reporters sayin hoped to work out a deal. so if there is someone talking, i would bet it is chuck schumer. >> and you and i have been there and know how it works. sometimes it is just somebody from a staff coming out. kristen welker is there as well. she is inside the briefing room. what can you tell us, what is the expectation on the part of the president going into this meeting with chuck schumer? >> i can tell you that things were looking pretty grim prior to the white house announcing that there was going to be this meeting with chuck schumer, significant that the president is only sitting down is with the democratic leader of the senate. i think he clearly wants to talk directly to him to see what needs to happen to potentially overt this looming government shutdown. we know that they have reached across the aisle, struck a deal in the past when it comes to a short term spending measure, can they do that again this time. i just spoke

chuck schumer, come over, let's have a sit-down. >> chuck schumer, chuck schumer's chief of staff and john kelly the only ones in a white house. >> shepard: in the room at least. >> in the room with the president. in accounting there's a thing called lyfo, a cost flow accounting in. last in, first out. this is what the republicans in the senate and the house are worried about. the last word in to talk to the president will be the first decision by the president made. last person that will have influence with the president now decides. so the republican leadership is saying, now what? is there going to be a schumer-trump agreement as a result of this conversation and perhaps additional ones before midnight tonight similar to what happened in september when the president decided to reach an agreement with the democrats over the debt ceiling. much to the chagrin of republicans. so when you ask who is it that we should be watching for, which direction this is going to go, it's donald trump. where he decides to take it, the leadership in the republican party will likely fall into place as

schumer, that's what we call the schumer shutdown, in order to try and get a shutdown. >> dana: why areocrats planning to vote against something they actually want? senator chris will join us next. mercedes schlapp with a view on the white house and how president trump is trying to had it all. ♪ i'm never gonna be able to sleep with this cold. i'll take a sick day tomorrow. on our daughter's birthday? moms don't take sick days... moms take nyquil severe. the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold, medicine. it's ok that everyone ignores it's fine. drive. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. and i don't share it with mom! right, mom? righttt. safe driving bonus checks. only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. i need my blood sugar to stay in control. weekends are my time. i need an insulin that fits my schedule. ♪ tresiba® ready ♪ (announcer) tresiba® is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. don't use tresiba® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood suga

that is what chuck schumer wants. chuck schumer said, let's keep the pressure on. if you let this go for 30 days, then we're on daca. i think the critical point of this is the democrats are sotomayso emboldened. everybody is playing base politics in this. you saw john tester yesterday from the state of montana. very red state. not going along with this. so the democrats the republicans thought they could depend on, they cannot depend on it. >> just to be precise, the republicans control the house of representatives where there is a simple majority, but the republicans don't control the senate when it comes to this legislation. they only have 51 republican senators. they need 60 under the rules of the u.s. senate. they don't have 60 unless they include something, presumably, on the d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> yeah, but you know, these 12 democrats they need, they're not going to get. they've got to sweeten it and they have to know for sure that the president means this. it's not going to shift, it's not going to change. this d.r.e.a.m.er issue is not just a piece of legislati

and #schumer shutdown. even though republicans control all the branches of government, that this was going to be blamed on the democrats. and we know the president has been telling allies in recent days he feels the same way. we heard him mention it yesterday in pennsylvania before that event, and he believes truly that this is going to be their fault and not his. it's a president who shall we say is reluctant to sometimes take responsibility when things don't go well. the buck stops here, a sign that's not on his desk. but it shows you the political fight that's brewing over this is perhaps the unrealistic expectations of republicans that democrats are going to get to blame even though most polling suggests otherwise. >> well, you make a great point there. and just for one more word on that we were just treated to a very interesting gathering of people. nelson of florida, coons of delaware and flake and schumer. the kind of fellows when you take 150 people from 50 states, those kind of pairings take place

schumer: ok, good afternoon, everybody. it is 1:00. all right, so, after midnight last night, after a lot of effort on the democratic side to negotiate a final deal for the american people, republicans in congress plunged headfirst into the trunk shut down -- trunk -- trump shut down. how did we get here? why is it that republicans and president trump are unwilling to do the job they were elected to do and reach an agreement to fund the military, critical programs for the middle class, address daca, fund children's health, and take care of disaster aid? over the last several months, democrats have over backwards to negotiate with the white house. unfortunately, the president and republican leaders in congress are like abbott and costello. the congressional leaders to lead to negotiate with chops or fire. president trump tells me to figure it out with the leaders. -- congressional leaders tell me to negotiate with president trump. let me tell you a bit about what transpired in negotiations. last year, when president trump ended the daca

you had the quotes from schumer. they were calling republicans arsonists, anarchists in 2013 for shutting down the government. let's be clear on one of these points. democrats are saying republicans control all blanches of government, they are getting blamed. that's right, we control the white house, we control the house, but when it comes to the senate we have to be very clear on that front. if it was simple majority to pass a continuing resolution i would buy their argument but i know that is deeply dishonest because you have to have 60 votes to a pass a continuing resolution in the senate. to say we actually control both chambers of contest is deeply dishonest. trish: that is very true, you're absolutely right on that. scott, they're trying to message. they have their talking points, scott is about to give us. scott hit first with this, how is it right we penalize hard-working members of our military risk their lives, now these folks will have to go without pay because congress can't get their act together because

that being chuck schumer. what do we know about this last-minute meeting between president trump and minority leader? >> we know that in just about's last hour, david, president trump reached out to senator schumer, the leader of senate democrats, invited him to the white house. senator schumer is now here. my colleague hallie jackson saw him just outside the west wing. asked if he might be able to broker some sort of deal, too void a government shutdown. the response from senator schumer is, i hope so. what's interesting about this is just earlier, just a few hours ago, we heard from a couple of white house officials, including mick mulvaney, the director of the office of management and budget. he was preemptively shoveling blame for this shutdown that hasn't happened yet onto democrats saying they haven't been specific about just what they want. we know they want a deal to enshrine daca protections into law. but he said beyond that, no real legislative text. take a look. >> the bill simply is not ready. you

chuck schumer, fake tears, remember him talking about that. >> clown schumer. >> crying chuck. >> he happened to give him a lot of money to him. >> yes. they've known each other. he values loyalty and relationships more than anything else. schumer is the person on the democratic side he feels like he could talk to -- not going to bring nancy pelosi or dick durbin after the meeting last week. it makes sense. i do think it's worth noting that donald trump asked for chuck schumer to come. it's noteworthy in that it suggests that -- and i take senator rounds at his word that there's no deal that's going to come out of this. at least donald trump wants to talk. the why behind that, i think, is more complicated. he wants to talk, which says something. the one that i caution against -- let's say they come out of this and say we've got a deal. they, too, donald trump and chuck schumer might have a deal but house republicans, senate democrats, senate republicans -- it's not as easy, even if they do settle on something. it's not easy to snap your fingers and it's a done thing. >> there was a h

schumer, that's why we call it the schumer shutdown that the president gets blamed for it. as soon as chuck schumer got to the you twos talk about the president about avoiding a shutdown, he wants that to stop the schumer shutdown thing. defended by no doubt, the blame is cast by him when he says republicans back and forth we go. adam shapiro with the shapiro shutdown, i guess we can call it that. what's going on. reporter: in efforts to avert the shutdown, which mick mulvaney, the director of omb was referring to 50-50 chance of a shutdown. schumer shutdown.com, the republicans here on the hill on wednesday started referring to the schumer shutdown and putting pressure on the democrat minority leader in the senate to come to agreement in. the web page they play a clip from senator schumer which you heard from mitch mcconnell, different people talking about from 2013, pure chaos to shut the government down demanding for immigration reform. that's one of the things with senator schumer. there is his partner in the senate, mitch mcconnell who put it like this. >> this vote sh

schumer has been engaged with the president. you have to ask yourself at one point, does it even become profitable to continue to work with somebody like that. chris: now this gets complicated, you raised a new issue here, schumer staff said in response to that that you're not telling the truth. they say -- they say that he offered not one year's funding which was what was suggested yesterday but full funding, 18 to $20 billion in year one that they were going -- they were going to put that on the table. not offer, i should say that they were willing to discuss that and that you guys walked away from that. i mean, if you got full funding for the wall, that would be the deal of the century, why not take yes for an answer? >> it would be the deal of the century because that was not the offer. the offer again, i don't want to split hairs -- chris: i understand, authorization and appropriation. >> ask mr. schumer's office if they offered to appropriate $20 billion. go to next thing on the list about full funding for defense. not tru

majority leader mitch mcconnell was on the floor attacking minority leader chuck schumer and schumer using his speech to criticize the president of the united states. >> on friday the democratic leader made the extraordinary and destructive choice to filibuster our bipartisan deal and guarantee the american people a shutdown of their federal government. now it's the second day of the senate democratic filibuster and the senate democrats shutdown of the federal government. because the president wouldn't resolve months of ongoing negotiations over massive issues

schumer is well aware of the priorities we share. i'm optimistic that that overture was made, hopefully to be constructive. reporter: they pass the bill last night, the republican c.r., with just their side, no democrats went up on the board until they went to 220. the bigger problem on this bill was the senate. you said senator schumer can represent your priorities. they have to figure out something first but they have to enlist your side so the buy-in over here, there are going to be a lot of republicans who won't want this. what will that potentially look like depending on the message senator schumer delivers? ms. pelosi: that was quite a convoluted statement, chad. do you want to repeat the question? just the last part of it. what does that look like? i'm going to defer that one to steny. it's far too complicated for e. we'll know what it is when we see it. mr. hoyer: the reality is, the republicans over the -- since 2011 have not had the votes on the house side in almost every matter of fiscal policy. mr. pelosi: they've had the

but what do you think chuck schumer got out of the republicans? >> just to day that's point quickly, i'm never happy when i look at my twitter feed. i feel your pain, chuck schumer. >> i thought you stopped following me, chris. >> never. >> you love the trolls. >> i do. they love me. i think what you get here is dana is right about potential short-term pain for -- actually, no. actual short term pain for potential long-term gain. >> long-term gain, yeah. >> chuck schumer will get hammered on this by the left who view it as a capitulation and rightly so. chuck schumer said on saturday no three-week continuing resolution and we need agreements on planned slovotes issues including daca. mitch mcconnell is saying it is my intention to do these things and it is not the same. the way he gets long-term gain, speaking of schumer, is they get some sort of daca/border security funding deal that looks overwhelmingly favorable to democrats. you know, if you see $8 billion allocated to a border wall and some daca protections, i don't know that -- that happens

schumer today? >> not with mr. schumer. >> bill: others on the democratic side? >> i'll be meeting with the president later today to go over the mechanics of the shutdown and we'll be meeting with the cabinet secretaries to go over how they'll manage the lapse in appropriations at various agencies. the president is very engaged with that. i'll speak with him several times. as for individual meetings or phone conversations that's handled by others. >> bill: how would you define the way the president has been involved? >> he is heavily engaged. i don't think anybody can claim the president wasn't actively engaged in trying to prevent the shutdown. he had bipartisan meetings all last week and met with mr. schumer on friday. since they've gone into the shutdown he has stepped back from the negotiations. we won't be held hostage. he shifted gears to being the person who is supposed to manage the shutdown. this is the executive of the nation and he is responsible to manage how it plays out in terms of every cabinet agency and that's what he has doing. he has gone from

schumer and others, mr. durbin, who have been talking with him, theyust have more credibility than the president. >> let me ask you a couple of questions about the substance of the disagreements here, something we heard from mark short is that the white house is not willing to negotiate over the status of daca, d.r.e.a.m.er recipients while the government is shut down. how much is that a point for you? >> i think it's a nonstarter. it's the kind of bullying that the president does have a reputation for. and i suppose that's what he did on wall street and that's what he did in his business negotiations, where he would lay down a law such as that. i'm not going to talk to you unless you do this or that. that's a nonstarter. and that does not shows isity, that he really cares about getting to some kind of conclusion that we can all sign off on. >> let me ask you about the continuing resolution. it was floated last night that maybe there could be a shorter one, one that goes until february 8th. i was wondering w

is schumer's decaying hurts schumer.this his first major test since taking over from harry reid? >> yes. this is a party that's been languishing, they could make arguments on health care but ultimately republicans stopped that from going forward. this is the first moment where you saw democrats being able to actually exert some rev raj -- leverage and schumer got a lot of praise from the liberals in the caucus from liberal activists last week for the position he was taking but you're really seing that shift today. host: one final question, i'll first pose it to bob and then get your reaction, julie. if the shutdown continued into the week, where would that have put schumer? guest: i think he made the decision it would have hurt his party. democrats had a good 2017. trump did not get any big legislative win until the end of the year. he did get a big win on the tax bill. but i think some of these democrats in trump states who are up for re-election were thinking, things are going pretty well for me. this was risk. once th

let's go to chuck schumer. sen. schumer: after midnight last night, after a lot of a finalo negotiate jeffrey american people, republicans in congress plunged headfirst into the trump shut down. how did we get here? why is it republicans and president trump are unwilling to do the jobs they were elected to do? reached in agreement to fund the military, programs for the daca, andss, address take care of disaster. over the last several months, democrats sent over -- democrats bent over backwards to negotiate with the white house. unfortunately, the president and republican leaders are -- the congressional leaders still need to negotiate with president trump. president trump tells me to figure it out with republican leaders. bit aboutk a little what transpired in the negotiations. first, a little history. last year, when president trump ended the daca program, we immediately began working on a solution both sides could agree to. their policy and i went to dinner with the president. pelosi and i went to dinner with the

we plan to take you chuck schumer. he will be briefing reporters. ,ou can see in the capital reporters are gathered. let's stay here live and wait for senator schumer. [laughter] >> we will have this live for you once senator schumer comes out. we want to bring you comments. mark meadows spoke to reporters earlier this morning. here is a look. what is leadership saying? >> we did our job in the house. at this particular point, there was a decision last night, in the senate, to to shut the government down. a government shutdown under affectnt trump will not our veterans and military the way a government shutdown did under the obama administration. it is not good. it is a serious thing. we are calling on our senate colleagues to reverse course. we provide enough votes in the house less than 48 hours ago. it is time for the janet -- the senate to do their job. daca --ration and amnesty is the number one thing, this vote -- this light in the .enate -- stop the negotiations negotiations will not go on until we open the gove

what chuck schumer said. schumer at least three times or possibly four referred to this as the trump shutdown which is now trending on social media. as you know the president and the administration have called it the schumer shutdown for a while now, he's saying that the only person that can be blamed now is the president. he says something that's interesting that he thought they would come to some osort of dea. he said the president called him up and invited him to the white house and had a productive meeting and in the spirit of bipartisan and giving something and he said he everyone put the border wall on the table everyone though democrats did not want to go that far and the president rejected that. so i think that's important to point out in our conversation as we continue because you know the blame game is going to go around and we'll assess this to try to figure out what happened and how we got to this point. i want to bring in our expert here phil mattingly who's watching this and jeff that's watching

so chuck schumer made this decision.eople hostage for years ago when there was a shutdown. he is doing it now. it is so needless because i tell you what julie, if you had any democrat and asked them, what do you object to in this continuing resolution to keep the government open? they can't point to anything in it that they object to. what they object to is something that is not in it and that is the fate of 700,000 young illegal immigrants. what chuck schumer is doing is, these illegal immigrants are more important than 2 million men and women in harm's way that where our nations uniform were told today, report for duty but chuck schumer is taking you off the payroll. that is not right. the more the american people learn about this, they will be outraged. >>julie: federal agencies began shutting down for the first time in four years. it is up to the senators now to stop this madness. i want to play a quick tape from house minority leader - - and have your reaction. >> your speaker, our speaker, said and i quote, we will

that being chuck schumer. what do we know about this last-minute meeting between president trump and minority leader? >> we know that in just about's last hour, david, president trump reached out to senator schumer, the leader of senate democrats, invited him to the white house. senator schumer is now here. my colleague hallie jackson saw him just outside the west wing. asked if he might be able to broker some sort of deal, too void a government shutdown. the response from senator schumer is, i hope so. what's interesting about this is just earlier, just a f

here is a chuck schumer of new york.enator schumer: i expect the majority leader to abide by this agreement. if he does not, of course, and i expect he will, he will have breached the trust of not only the democratic senators, but members of his own party as well. through these complicated and lengthy negotiations, democrats have always sought to be reasonable, to act in good faith and get something real done. despite all of our entreaties, the president was obstinate. despite bipartisan support for daca, the republican majority dithered. host: the senate democratic leader chuck schumer. joining us live here is bob cusack. what a weekend. >> very much so. a very contentious weekend where both parties were playing chicken. now republicans are basically getting what they want and that's different than prior shutdowns we've seen in the clinton administration and obama administration. without a doubt there's a lot of frustration with senator schumer on capitol hill and among immigration activists. host: what happened between

we remember where schumer was in 2013.ething speaker boehner and mitch mcconnell did not want to follow, but did follow you and it led to a shutdown. it was very much when don republicans. ted cruz is defending it to this day. here's what he said today. host: the texas republican senator on capitol hill. sen. cruz: i am glad the government is going to open up again today. it was a mistake for chuck schumer to shut down the government. three days of a shutdown. and the reason chuck schumer four-star shutdown is his far left bases and rage. they are angry. they hate the president. resist everything, shut everything down. >> sounds familiar, didn't you say all this back when it happened to you? >> i realize that's the media narrative you love to tell. it's worth noting in 2013 -- >> green eggs and ham. sen. cruz: i voted repeatedly to fund the government. it was harry reid and the democrats who voted no, who voted not to shut the government down. just like this week. republicans voted to fund the government and chuck schumer

so senator schumer knows what our priorities are. and i'm sure he's going to be discussing with leader pelosi on a very close basis as soon as he gets back as to what was discussed. having said that, i hope they reach an agreement. i hope they reach an agreement on the things that i mentioned, on which we have agreement. including the caps, including dreamers, including chip. and including all the other things that i mentioned. so i'm hopeful that the president of the united states, as did he in september, we had a no-drama action, having to pass the c.r. every democrat voted for it. it was a no drama. why? because the president said, that makes sense, we have agreement. let's move forward. which is exactly what we did. i hope that senator schumer and the president get to that point and -- because i think we have a basis for agreement that, as i said, i think we could do as early -- later on this afternoon. reporter: \[inaudible] mr. hoyer: yes. did i see daylight? you mean differences? yes. reporter: how about getting something done

schumer said no way.xt call, the president said he was going over the objections from conservative republicans and his own staff in making this deal. the "washington post" reporting that congressman mark meadows met with the president on friday afternoon. by saturday it was finger pointing. >> chuck schumer said i'm giving you everything you asked for the wall and then when pressed admitted he wasn't it. that's the type of negotiation that mr. schumer has been engaged in with the president. >> that say you offered $1.6 billion. >> the person who said it was not in the room. he doesn't know the truth. i do. >> how much did you offer the president? >> i'm not giving you a number. he put a number on the table. we took it. >> the white house now tells the "washington post," quote, senator schumer's memory is hazy. his account of friday's meeting is false. the take away from this the president is saying he wants one thing. people who work for him are saying he wants something else. joining me now to hopefully

majority leader mitch mcconnell was on the floor attacking minority leader chuck schumer and schumer using his speech to criticize the president of the united states. >> on friday the democratic leader made the extraordinary and destructive choice to filibuster our bipartisan deal and guarantee the american people a shutdown of their federal government. now it's the second day of the senate democratic filibuster and the senate democrats shutdown of the federal government. because the president wouldn't resolve months of ongoing negotiations over massive issues in one brief meeting and give the democratic leader everything he wants, my friend across the aisle has shut down the government for hundreds of millions of americans. >> it all really stems from the president whose inability to clinch a deal has created the trump shutdown. i agree with majority leader mcconnell. the trump shutdown was totally avoidable. president trump walked away from not one, but two, bipartisan deals. and that's after he walked away from an agreement in principle on daca we reached way back in the fall of l

is the spotlight on chuck schumer.his his first mainly test after taking over from harry reid? reporter: it was. it was the fist time that democrats saw they had lesk rang. this was a party that's -- leverage. this is a party that's been languishing in the minority for the past year. they did have much of a voice on tax reform. they could make arguments on health care, but ultimately it was republicans that stopped that from going forward. so this was the first moment where you saw democrats being able to actually exert some leverage. and again, schumer got a lot of praise from the liberals in the caucus from liberal activists, last week for the position he was taking. but you're really seeing that shift today. steve: one final question. i'll pose it to bob first and then get your reaction. if the shutdown continued into the week, where would that have put schumer? bob: i think he made the decision that it would have hurt his party. remember, democrats had a good 2017. trump did not get any big legislative win until th

yes, schumer -- the majority leader mitch mcconnell and the senate minority leader chuck schumer had been stationed a few feet away for a long period of time, 20 minutes, a half hour or so. now schumer has moved over. he is standing near mitch mcconnell. the other camera angle gave us a bit of a better shot that they were speaking. mcconnell is still at his lectern. there is now a bipartisan group of senators gathered round listening into what is being discussed and potentially what is soon to be announced. schumer is now, as you can see, has turned back and moved away from his republican counterpart, moving to his own lectern. >> this is your government at work. now, manila folders are being opened. senators are doing their best. this is a full-on scurry to scurry back to their positions. >> that was more of a scurry than a mosey. >> okay. for some, scurrying is more difficult than others. that's whitehouse of rhode island, warren of massachusetts, coons, van hollen, cardin is going back to his seat, here comes flake for another orbit. it looks like mcconnell is talking. let's open

of the united states, only chuck schumer and some of his key folks. republicans are wondering what went down. democrats are wondering what went down in that meeting. a lot of people are wondering what went down. we're less than eight hours away from a potential government shut down since 2013. it lasted two weeks and there was concern that it would hurt republicans that were deemed to be at fault for it. the next year, they capitalized in big mid-term wins. that was then, this is now. could be a different environment. to peter doocy on capitol hill with the very, very latest. peter? >> neil, the very latest is that right when schumer got back from that white house meeting that no republican lawmakers were present. he invited nancy pelosi and dick durbin to his office to go over everything that he and the president talked about. at this point, every senate democrat is still saying they will vote no on this continuing resolution to fund the government for a month unless they are also given a vote on a law that would protect daca recipients. some senator

aggravated after the they passed the extension rejected a dustup on house floor taking aim at schumer. >> majority of the house the majority of the senate have voted to prevent shutdown keep the government open. . >> bring the -- the -- poster to the chair for his observation. >> soon shutdown down will get real if by monday morning there is no deal, and much federal workforce is on furlough. >> chris. >> not gooded if arguing over posters, mike emanuel from capitol hill, thank you joining me white house budget she have nick mulvaney in charge of glementing the government shutdown director welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> describe the extent of the shutdown, in terms of personnel and programs. >> sure, as of yesterday, federal agencies started sending out furlough notices there is three categories of employees those who will come to work on monday, were those will not come to work monday and actually a smaller group will come to work on monday for four hours to help shut things down leave as well went out ed, and over the course of the couple days, we will start to see agencies

what does schumer have to do now? >> well schumer's absolutely right. all senator schumer has done for the last weeks and, you know, renewed -- renewing those efforts today was trying to find a deal. he went to the white house personally and thought that he had a deal. you know, he walked out of the oval office thinking that he had a deal with the president of the united states. >> let me just interrupt you, adam, because for our viewers who hadn't heard him say that, let's actually just play senator schumer talking about what happened when he was in the president's office trying to make a deal this afternoon. >> during the meeting, in exchange for strong daca protections, i reluctantly put the border wall on the table for discussion. even that was not enough to entice the president to finish the deal. in the room, it sounded like the president was open to accept it. this afternoon in my heart, i thought we might have a deal tonight. that was how far we had come. that's how positive our discussion felt. we had a good meeting. but what has transpired sin

schumer and policy.he senate leaders spoke with trump iphone, updating the president on the gop negotiating stance and intention not to budge. ryan and mcconnell agreed. not to seriously entertain offers from democrats that diverged from the house passed month-long spending bill. senator lindsey graham of south carolina shocked the middle round proposal. he entered mcconnell's office around 7:00 p.m. half an hour later, walked into , then back toe mcconnell's office. while he said he went to schumer's office to eat, some eight said he also pitched a deal to get out of the mess. [video clip] i know the democrats are meeting now. the key, to me, is to shorten the time beyond every 16th, but more than anything else is a genuine commitment by both parties that we are going to find a resolution on all of the issues that are outstanding, including immigration. we are on the 10 yard line, inside the 10 yard line, on everything, including defense spending, disaster relief, it immigration, border security, as wel

>> is that schumer leading in the middle? >> it doesn't, schumer is still seated and i can't tell until they give us a better shot from senate tv who is making that point. but the conversation has gone back and forth. you still see senator jeff flake in the blue suit, his back to us the republican remains in the democratic treehouse there. garrett hate is our man outside in the hallway. what activity, if any, have you seen out there? >> reporter: brian, i was just inside the chamber watching this thing developing with graham at the center of what appears to be this back and forth negotiation with chuck schumer and a group of democrats. there was a group of republicans involved in previous efforts in immigration reform circling around that conversation. rob portman, jeff flake who you mentioned, john cornyn was auditing the conversation, if you will, coming over at times to listen in. frame's opponents over this last week tom cotton and david perdue across the aisle, having their own miniature huddle with other republican memb

this morning, schumer caved.e'll take it up with two of finest political strategists, and great americans ed rollins and michael goodwin. new warnings this north korea is only months away from possessing the ability it carry out a nuclear attack against the u.s. cia director mike pompeo said that nuclear weapon program is morad haven't -- advance, and re very quickly. we have ambassador john bolton among our guests. top story -- a stunning deep state cover-up, lawmakers demanding answer from fbi after they claim they lost 5 months of text-messages between anti-trump officials. fox news chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge with the report. >> of course we need a second special counsel to get to the bottom of this. reporter: conditional republicans call out fbi after learning that 5 months of text-messages. in clinton e-mail and russia investigation are missing. the text messages between strzok and page range from december 2016, a month after president trump's election to may, when then james comey w

that's why i think chuck schumer new this was the schumer shutdown. president trump stared him down. now we will talk about a real debate. they've got to be worried whether they can win that debate, too. they had to decide which part of their base they are going to cater to whereas president trump and republicans -- trump taught republicans how to fight. where will democrats be? >> sandra: our producer on capitol hill just writing that we are now waiting for senator corker to vote to reopen the government. senator mccain should be the only absence when they close. >> pete: bob corker, former republican. >> sandra: they've gotten the vote they need, the government will reopen. >> the crisis is over, everybody, it's going to be oka okay. >> pete: you can call the agriculture department and they will answer their phone. a procedural vote to end debate, they will vote again on something that only needs 51 votes. they will go back to the house, who knows how long that will actually happen. >> katie: i do think it's worth pointing out how the trump administ

schumer, it's why we call the schumer shut down. >> president trump earned an f for leadership. >> what will it take to break the stale mate and what does it mean for you? questions this week for the president's point man on capital hill and the democrat at the center of the talks and key talks about the immigration debate. >> plus at the one year mark -- >> the time for empty talk is over. now arrives the hour of action. >> where does president trump stand? new findings from a brand new poll with insight and analysis from the power house round table. we'll break down the politics, smoke out the spin, the facts that matter this week. >> good morning. at the stroke of midnight on anniversary of trump's inaugural the government shut down. the president says democrats did that on purpose to spoil his party. democrats insist that trump does not know how to close a deal. many of you at home might agree with louisiana senator john kennedy who said this on friday our country was founded by geniuses but it's being run by idiots. so far the trump administration doing what it can to limit the imp

the deal the democrats say they got for their leader in the senate chuck schumer, senator schumer says they got a deal to immediately tackle legislation for daca in the dreamers program. that and they had supposedly aa week ago, what happened that changed is that democrats voted with republicans to reopen the government. i'm harris faulkner, you are watching our continuing coverage today as though shutdown ends at least temporarily on capitol hill. this is "outnumbered overtime," let's bring in my very first guest because he is in the senate, colorado senator cory gardner. he sits on the budget committee and chairs the senate g.o.p. campaign arm. a very important person to talk with right now. what happened in that room that changed things? >> it is curious because the same basic offer was made friday night to senator schumer that we would have a three week cr, we would turn to the issue of daca immigration. that was rejected on friday night, here we are on monday after having shut the federal government down for several days saying basically we will go back to that same deal that was

what does schumer have to do now? >> well, schumer is absolutely right. all senator schumer has done for the last weeks and, you know, renewing those efforts today was trying to find a deal. he went to the white house personally and thought that he had a deal. you know, he walked out of the oval office thinking that he had a deal with the president of the united states. >> let me just interrupt you, adam. for our viewers who hadn't heard him say that, let's actually just play senator schumer talking about what happened when he was in the president's office, trying to make a deal this afternoon. >> during the meeting, in exchange for strong daca protections, i reluctantly put the border wall on the table for discussion. easte even that was not enough to entice the president to finish the deal. in the room, it sounded like the president was open to accept it. this afternoon, in my heart, i thought we might have a deal tonight. that was how far we'd come. that's how positive our discussion felt. we had a good meeting. but what has transpired since that meeti

you know schumer, mcconnell. you have worked with them when you were in the white house in the obama administration. so they should be able to come up with a deal. who's going to blink thfirst, d you think? >> i agree with everything that's been said. the fact is that democrats are under enormous pressure from their base that feels very strongly about this issue and feels like they have been rolled in the past. they know that 80% of americans are on their side on this issue. they believe what the president said, which is that at the end of the day, the president of the united states will bear the brunt, whatever polling says now, the party that's in charge and the party that runs the white house and both houses will be blamed. nonetheless, i think that as this wears on, it's not going to be good for anyone. and my guess is that there will be some sort of short-term solution there. and with some, some triggering mechanism that would indicate to democrats or assure democrats that this daca issue is going to be take

schumer is seen as the biggest loser.elp people hopefully running for office in 2020. >> you will see a shift of people speak out against the leadership. we saw that in a special election, connor lamb, a real up and comer saying he doesn't want nancy pelosi to be the leader of the party any more. what schumer did do which was smart is he said to our blue senators in red states, vote how you need to. claire mccaskill and joe donely voted with it. because they have tough reef elections in 2018. but, you know, the truth of the matter is we got chip funding which is important to us. it's just three weeks until we do this dance again. but i get idea taking mcconnell's word doesn't feel good. kennedy: we talked about the mid-terms coming up later this year a little bit earlier. how does this affect voters fit looks like a smackdown for schumer and then at the same time people are kind of feeling the effects of tax relief? >> this is the first time basically generic balance slot between as congressional republican and congressio

we heard schumer's side of the story. hear what the president said. >> even beyond that. what give anyone who is negotiating with this person or this president, the confidence he's going to keep his word? in a negotiation. even making a promise to do something at later point. >> you raise a good point. he's had meetings and come out of the meeting everyone was on one page and a few days later, we hear something different from the president. but the reality is, when it comes to daca he has been clear. and republicans have been clear. they're willing to protect dreamers in exchange for funding -- >> republicans have been cloear on daca. many republicans don't necessarily want it to happen. but they think it should happen. >> certainly. that's the will of the people. >> i have to take issue with that. i don't think this president has been clear on daca. he laughed at bush about it on the campaign trail. and said it should be a billion of love. using the same language bush made. and wanted to do something about it. and turn a

you called it the schumer shutdown, peter doocy now calling at the schumer sitdown. take me inside that meeting. there is a bipartisan idea in the senate that hasn't been taken to the floor that's on the table, what gets done in that meeting in your estimation? >> i think right now, i'm hoping the president will persuade senator schumer to not shut the government down and give us more time to work through this. the truth is there is bipartisan commitment to solve the daca issue but we are not there yet. we need some time to negotiate this. keeping the government open in order for that to happen is the right way to approach this. the approach democrats have adopted really is a disaster. >> harris: please forgive me, i'm so anxious to get some questions and before you have to go. how do you make it happen so the democrats know you mean busines business? do you have a fancy handshake? if you say you give your word that you'll talk about daca next week after you keep the government open, why won't the other side believe you? >> i think that's what were trying to find out

right now it's in the hands of senator schumer and his colleagues. i'm hopeful that they'll see that that's not a good way to go. >> that would be a relatively simple way to avert a government shutdown and move on the for example the compromised proposal put forward by your republican colleague lindsey graham and dick durbin were simply attached as an amendment. you want the d.r.e.a.m.ers to be able to stay here in the united states in any case, right? >> i think getting a deal on immigration is important. but the key issue on that is we have time. we do have time. where we don't have time is with regard to the government. so tonight at midnight, the government shuts down. your program is doing a good job of saying here are all the americans who are going to be hurt. in particular the military is going to be hurt. >> you have to compromise with the democrats. you don't completely control the senate. in this particular case you need 60 votes. you have 51. senator mccain is not going to be here. you need democrats. in washington to get a job done, you'
