i hope senate democrats are starting to realize all this. i hope they're starting to realize that their constituents, the president, the house, and a majority of the senate, are on one side of this. on the other side, all alone, is the democratic leader, who invented this unfortunate hostage situation and led his party into this untenable position. the solution is to end the foolishness. it's hurting millions of americans who have done absolutely nothing to deserve this. so i would invite all of my colleagues across the aisle to join together and do what is obviously responsible and right for the people we represent. pretty clear here. let's reopen the government. let's resume the bipartisan discussion on funding our troops, daca, on government spending, and on all the other priorities that all of us can work together to resolve. >> and there you heard it from mitch mcconnell. it would seem as if he and paul ryan squared the talking points and the way they would present them for political gain exactly the same, lots of the same phrases being

democrat and senates basha democrats and senate, step up. you already saw the movement. been negotiations taking place over the last several weeks. the president and i are few more that within a weeks, we can solve the issues related to the budget. we can resolve issues related to the border wall, chain migration, diversity lottery, daca. now is the time for us to remember, we have troops -- announcer: vice president mike pence on his way to meet leaders stopping in ireland at his -- and his comments from yesterday. here is where things stand in the u.s. house. our capitol hill producer tweeting the houses in recess, subject to they call a chair with their return time later today, tba. thisare possible later afternoon and evening. we know they house republican conference will be meeting in 20 minutes, 3:00 eastern. any briefings or news out of that, we will bring that to you as well. the senate is in session. the debate continues on the senate floor to you can follow that over on c-span two. here on c-span, we will take you back to the discussion from this morning's wash

last month senate democrats opposed the tax cuts which clearly benefit workers. and now last night senate democrats shut down the government in and ugly effort to smear the president while distracting the american people from the president's achievements on his anniversary. i just learned that senate democrats are closing national armories across our state today at noon, putting our military readiness and troops at risk. i am confident with the positive leadership of armories today at noon, putting our ryan will be-l continue to be the sp paul adults in the room for american families. conclusion, god bless our troops. we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. thank you, president trump, for your heartfelt address to the historic right troops. we will never forget september 11 and the global war on to lif yesterday on the mall. the speaker pro tempore: the entleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from cal

the senate democrats have filibustered it. we passed all 12 appropriation bills for all of government last september in the house and the senate democrats have been filibustering those bills. we passed in december funding for these natural disasters in the hurricanes and senate democrats have filibustering the bills. the point i'm trying to make the senate democrats have chosen filibuster chip, filibuster appropriations, filibuster getting these things done then blame the dysfunction on everybody else. the point i'm trying to makes if you want to get these problems solved, open up the government, resume negotiations and let's solve these problems. >> dickerson: their argument would be, if you want to get the problems solved in the senate where you need 60 votes, you need to do a little outreach and be ready if you're going to say it's my way or the highway, be recognized -- >> bring a bill to the floor. take appropriations. you know you can get bipartisan in the house and senate the president would be on his desk in minutes. >

i call on senate democrats and senator schumer in particular. we have done our job. now you do your job. stop this partisan obstruction. and the schumer shutdown. vote with us to reopen the government immediately. pay our troops and help these children in need. thank you. >> good afternoon. thank you, all of you, for being with me. i want to first say that it is unconscionable that there is government funding being held up for an issue that has nothing to do with funding the government. it's an abdication of the basic constitutional duty by the congress to hold this government up for an issue that would be negotiated in good faith, by the way, continuing negotiations are going on in good faith -- by an initiative that has nothing to do with holding the government up. i want to read a quick letter to you. i have been getting messages from folks domestically and abroad. as you know, i represent a district that has more active-duty military veterans than anyone in the nation. i am aith great respect, retired air force veteran, civil service employee, and single s.ther o

this schumer shutdown could have been avoided if senate democrats prioritized at-risk children and our military. the democrats' stance is give us amnesty and blame the republicans. this is an unreasonable position. hang tough, republicans. god bless our troops and we will never forget our troops and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from new jersey seek recognition? >> permission to address the house the house. mr. pallone: i want to address this cynical effort by the republicans to link the trump shutdown to children's health insurance program. the fagget of the matter is if the republicans cared about children's health insurance or anybody's health insurance, they wouldn't have tried repeatedly to repeal the affordable care act or put in a provision that says people don't have to buy insurance which will result in about 13 million americans losing their health insurance. they wouldn't have put a chip bill earlier this year that eliminated or cut back on the prevention fund and at the same time said if you didn't pay your health

senate democrats shut down this government and now senate democrats need to open this government backed up. stop holding our troops and children's health insurance hostage. end this reckless shutdown. heads prevail. open this government backup. i yield. >> house speaker paul ryan at about noon eastern today. the house will return in 25 minutes at 4:00 p.m. eastern. live coverage here on c-span as they take of a same day rule allowing them to give it a legislation, in particular the continuing resolution on the same day as introduced any day between today and monday, january 29. we will have live coverage of the house here on c-span, as we mentioned. the senate is in session over on c-span two. as we wait for the house to come in, we will get back to your thoughts and input, your calls on the government shutdown, now 15.5 hours into it. here in washington, natalya on the line. she is a federal employee. thanks for waiting. go ahead. >> i have been a federal employee for over 30 years here in washington, d.c. i have to say i am a democrat. i do not support truck for various reasons. howev

only because senate democrats, senate and house democrats would like to join them, in forcing through an unfinished hurried immigrationpolicy. this fole here, i won't name his name, is on trial in northern california for killing two police officers. he was twice deported from arizona. when the killings were described by others in the court, this fellow laughed and smiled as it was recalled. he then launch add profane tirade claiming his own regret he didn't kill more than two officers and heed escape from jail and do it again. ill queet part of him. i don't blank regret that. the only thing i blank regret is i only killed two. i wish i blank killed more. i will break out sooner and kill more. he's promised when he gets out he will kill more. does anybody out there believe that under current policy with the receive of a border we have he won't fulfill that promise? do we think that the families of danny and michael or the families of kate steinle have confidence that it isn't going to happen and justice will ever be served? we don't link this -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's

unfortunately the democratic leader had other ideas. in the senate the minority has the power to filibuster. i support that right from institutional point of view, the question is when do you use it? leaderay the democratic made the extraordinary choice to filibuster a bipartisan bill and guarantee the american people a shutdown of the federal government. now it is the second day of the senate democrat filibuster and the senate and the pratt shutdown of the federal -- and the senate democrat shutdown of the federal government. because the president would not resolve months of 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. he did not get everything he wanted in one meeting on friday with the president. who praise -- who pays the price for that? health care for needy children? training and resources for our men and women in uniform? care for our veterans who came home and survivor benefits for familie

senate democrats shut this government down. this is a schumer shut down. once opinion a time, chuck schumer called shutting the overnment down politics of idiocy. senator feinstein said shutting the government down is a very serious thing she said, people die. accidents happen you don't know, necessary functions can cease. so how did they change their mind? why did they do it? i'd like to know because nobody knows. it wasn't the bill. the funding bill is clean. it wasn't chip, the children's health insurance legislation. whose path came straight from the bipartisan deal in the senate. they say it's about immigration. about daca. they're shutting down the government, cutting off funds for our troops, cutting off funds to opioid treatment centers, and cuts off health insurance for american children over immigration. over something that has nothing to do with this funding bill. or with putting the american people first. so i think if it's only reasonable we ask what exactly their demands are, why are they holding our government and our troops and american chil

but unfortunately, my friend the democratic leader had other ideas. we all know in the senate, the minority has the power to filibuster. i support that right from an institutional point of view, the question is when do you use it? on friday, the democratic leader made a destructive choice to filibuster or bipartisan deal and to force a shutdown of our federal government. now it's the second day of the senate democrat filibuster and the senate democrat shutdown of the federal government. because the president wouldn't solve months of ongoing issues and give the democratic leader everything he wants, my friends across the aisle have shut down the government for hundreds of millions of americans because he didn't get everything he wanted in one meeting friday with the president. so who pays the price for that? health care for needy children, training and resources for our men and women in uniform, care for our veterans, who came home and survivor benefits for families of heroes who did not. full funding for the cdc, the nih and the safety inspections of food and water. you know,

senate democrats did this. senate democrats can stop this at noon today. steve: republicans are dug n there will be no daca in this deal. democrats are dug in because they think they have maximum leverage. somebody has to budge. >> this is what is so weird about this issue. we were in bipartisan, earnest, good-faith daca negotiations before the government shut down. i would maybe sort of understand these moves, if we were saying we want to deport all these kids, we don't want to do anything. ainsley: exactly. >> that's not what we are saying. we are for fixing this problem. we want to make sure we fix it more comprehensively so we don't have another daca problem in a few years. that is the point. that is what is bizarre to me. we had bipartisan negotiations between the house and senate republicans and democrats already taking place. they still shut the government down. let me read you a couple quotes from the 2013 government shutdown. when you open the government, we'll open negotiations. dick durbin 2013. or this. i believe in immigration reform. what if

senate democrats need to take this seriously. they need to not shut the government down so we can continue good faith negotiations on these other issues. do not hold kids or our military hostage to doing the military's work. i think we've made our point. bille short-term spending passed in the house extends government operations through february 16. the bill is now being debated in the senate. you can watch live coverage on c-span 2. here's the house debate before the final vote. this is an hour and 20 minutes. i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise to present the house amendment to the senate amendment to h.r. 195rk the extension of continuing appropriations act of 2018. this critical legislation extends government funding through february 16. our current funding expires tomorrow night. if congress does not pass this bill, and the president does not sign it into law before then, the government will shut down. it is our congressional duty to prevent that from happening and to ensure the american people have access to g

think it is disappointing that congress has chosen to shutdown the government, particularly senate democrats have on the one-year anniversary. >> is it a reflection of the leadership coming out of the white house? >> i think it is a reflection of the position many members of the democrat party find themselves in. i think the democrats look at what the administration has a pushedshed and have leadership to shut down the government. they look at the added to the $7 trillion stock market. they see more circuit court judges ever confirmed in one year. a new supporting court justice confirmed. we look at those, a new supreme court justice confirmed. we are saying we demand a shutdown, so i think they are related. they look at the accomplishment of the last year and all the administration have accomplished. and their reaction is because we cannot beat them, we are going to shut down the government. mulvaney, on entitlement payments, social security, medicare, for the public, can you let them know and reaffirm that conversation regarding how long this lasts, what happens and what are the implicatio

earlier the majority leader was clearly irritated with senate democrats. >> this is completely unfair and uncompassionate for my democratic colleagues to filibuster government funding, harm our troops, or jeopardize health coverage for 9 million children because extreme elements of their base want illegal immigration to crowd out every other priority. >> most senators from both parties throughout the course of the day seemed hopeful and looking for an escape hatch to avoid a government shutdown. they didn't seem to know how they would get there. but the democrat stayed so focused on the immigration deal with the clock ticking on government funding. shannon? >> shannon: mike emanuel live on the hill for every twist and turn, we'll check back with you shortly. the schumer shutdown, that's what the white house is calling it. chief national correspondent ed henry joins us with the intense politicking and bickering. we have passed the midnight deadline and moving forward. >> what's new is that the white house is finally officially weighed in. we were talking a few moments ago, are they goi

>> i think the news reports made it clear that it was most senate democrats who did choose to block the spending bill last night. there were a handful of republicans who did so for their own reasons, whether military related, immigration related or other reasons. however, democrats are banking on the fact that voters just look at the dysfunction in washington and say, look, republicans control the white house and both chambers of congress. they should be the one to blame here. we know in the senate everything takes 60 votes. democratic cooperation is almost always needed. there were some republicans who did oppose this bill as well. >> sure. >> but it was mostly democrats here. >> courtney kube, let's talk about the actual impact. let's start very low to the ground and go high. e-1 in the army making 1,600 bucks. he's employed. she's deployed. the spouse runs out of money. they're not going to get paid. what happens to the young enlisted man and his spouse when the money stops. what do they do? >> they don't have money. i think back to 2013 when this happened. i was in southwestern afgh

i hope senate democrats are starting to realize all this. i hope they're starting to realize that their constituents, the president, the house, and a majority of the senate are on one side of this. on the other side, all alone, the democratic leader who invented this unfortunate hostage situation and led his party into this untenable position. the solution is to end the foolishness. it's hurting millions of americans who have done absolutely nothing to deserve this. so i would invite all of my colleagues across the aisle to join together and do what is obviously responsible and right for the people we represent. it's pretty clear here. let's reopen the government, let's resume the bipartisan discussion on funding our troops, daca, on government spending, and on all the other priorities that all of us can work together to: no, we're not. mr. schumer: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i address you and this body in the shadow of a government shutdown, something that nobody wanted and almost everybody strived to avoid. and yet, we are her

in takes democrats and republicans in this senate to move to cloture on a new funding bill. and it is simply a fact that a majority of democrats won'ted no, and that's why we're in a shutdown. the most recent c.r. would have run until mid-february and the daca program, this program for childhood arrivals, is not set to expire until march. so how does it make any sense to shut down the government over a program that will last longer than the temporary funding bill? it doesn't. and yet that is exactly what our democratic friends decided to do. to shut down the government on an immigration issue. here is a front page of friday's "new york times" -- not exactly known as a great friend to the republican party. it says, mr. president, "senate showdown looms as spending bill advances." this is the morning before the evening when our democratic friends refused to fund the government. house approves a non--- house approves a stopgap measure while democrats dig in on immigration. it was an immigration issue thatted the democrats to dig in, according to "the new york times" "the washing

. >> what we have just witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision by senate democrats to shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political gains. >> every american knows the republican party controls the white house, the senate, the house, it's their job to keep the government open, it's their job to work with us. julie: are gop leaders in a hurry to end the shutdown? >> julie, republicans that i have spoken to don't think that it's on them to end the shutdown. there was a lot of positive energy in conference room a few hours ago first thing this morning with all house republicans got together and they were told that there are not going to be any negotiations about a fixed for daca recipients until the government is back open. >> ly tell you inside the democratic conference they are not happy about this, because they understand, too, daca is not shutting down or have any problems until march and you have court case on it where they they are filing is, military and children's health care program is being shut down by schumer and all the other items. >> mitch mc

senate democrats are clear. want a government shutdown as leverage and taking funding for the governments and our troops hostage. they are open about that. it's their strategy. in 2013 senator schumer said this very tactic represents governmental chaos and now he is actively orchestrating a shutdown. he started a new #by the way. #schumer shutdown. >> the democrats are exactly doing what they always blame republicans are doing, which is holding the federal government budget process hostage to their own -- what they would call extreme political views. think about this. what chuck and nancy are doing, pelosi and schumer, i'm shutting down the government and not allow the military to get paid and mattis the resources he needs to conduct these wars because i think illegal immigrant negotiations over daca and these other questions are the most important thing. more important than our soldiers. we've never been here before when president george w. bush was president, they worked out a deal because nobody believed sold

senate. we need to get our family together, democrats, republican, and independents. that's what's missing at this point. because when i listened to the speech by senator cornyn, i do respect him. there are so many things we agree on. there are so many things that we understand to be priorities. and i want to also set the record straight. there were some words said about senator schumer's opening remarks. the reason senator schumer continues to refer to the trump shutdown is because at last friday, senator schumer was invited by the president to come for lunch. this was before the critical vote on the continuing resolution, the funding of our government. and this really was the first opportunity for senator schumer and the president face to face to try to reach an agreement. and the good news reported back to me by senator schumer afterwards, there was an understanding of what we were going to do on a myriad of issues, including the controversial issue of immigration and dreamers and daca and what we would do about the wall. some of us don't think the wall is such a gr

shutdown is senate democratic leader chuck schumer. thank you for being here. >> hi, rachel, good to hear from you again. >> liberals and a lot of democrats are furious with you right now the way they see this shutdown is that democrats raise the prospect, raised hopes by sticking together through the shutdown and sticking to their principles, they could get protection for the d.r.e.a.m.ers passed into law that didn't happen. democrats split and voted to reopen the government without that happening. what is your response to that anger? >> well, look, we advanced the cause. what people have to understand and i think most people do, most of the democrats here on capitol hill perfectly understand, we don't have the levers of power. we have a republican president, republican senate, a republican house, all three of the most anti immigration that there is, so we have to be smart and thoughtful and careful about how we advance the cause. and i sat down with president trump on friday and offered him quite a bit. he made an offer for a wall. i

i hope senate democrats are starting to realize all this. i hope they're starting to realize there are constituents, the house, the president, the majority of the senate, are on one side of this. on the other side all alone. with the democratic leader. invented this unfortunate hostage situation and led his party into this untenable position. the solution is to end the foolishness. it's hurting millions of americans who have done absolutely nothing to deserve this. i would invite my colleagues across the aisle to join together and do what is right for the people we represent. pretty clear here. let's resume the bipartisan discussion on funding our troops, daca, on government spending. and on all the other priorities that all of us can work together to resolve. >> let's bring in our panel. to discuss what we just heard. cnn political commentator alice stewart. cnn political commentator and former counselor to president clinton paul begala. also steve cortez who ran the hispanic council for donald trump during his campaign. and jackie kucinich,

five democratic senators voted for it. fast forward to today on the procedural motion and there were 333 senators who caucused with the democrats who -- who caucus with the democrats who backed basically the same bill. the timeline was a little different. the republicans were unified in their message. very aggressive. in 2013 when they were trying to get rid of obamacare funding they were not. they were on their heels. this situation was different, the republicans felt they had the upper hand. a lot of democrats are saying they blinked. >> let's go through some of the senate democrats who did not support today's action. senator sanders of verm, elizabeth warren of massachusetts, ka ma la harris of california, kristen jill grand of new york. what do they all have in common? guest: they're all thinking about running for president. those candidate whors thinking bout, who are in the senate, they were critical of what senator schumer struck. another vote i thought was interesting, senator tester who is up for re-election voted

they can blame senate democrats all they want and keep in mind i believe john mccain has missed votes this week. that margin could narrower for republicans. they can blink those democrats all they want. the truth is the american people recognize that trump and republicans are in the driver's seat. it goes beyond a little bit what "the wall street journal" is saying. if they have leverage to shape any policy and if they are going able to ensure to get one of the most important policy priorities this year, it has to be done with leverage. that is why the mechanics of the government funding fight are dicey. they are trying to use the leverage to get as much off the priority list. >> tal, chief of staff john kelly says the president's attitude toward immigration and the wall have evolved. let's listen. >> he changed forward the daca issue and the wall. he has evolved in the way he looked at things. campaign to governing are two different things. this president is very flexible in terms of what is within the realm of possible. >> one of the oldest adages in campaigning and governing is pro

we cannot open the government without senate democrat support, we don't have that senate democrat support which is why we are where we are. another thing would be to get some of those democrats back home to work in a bipartisan fashion but don't. where are those democrats who say one thing back home and then do another in washington. we just want this thing to get fixed. >> five democrats voted for the continuing resolution and five republicans voted against it. minority leader schumer, he wants a commitment from republicans in the house and senate to agree that after the government reopens, it will authorize defense spending, they will authorize about $20 billion for the border wall and provide some sort of path to legal status for the so-called d.r.e.a.m.ers. i have heard this is more of an issue in the house than the senate. but that seems to be an area where a deal could be done, no? >> a couple of different things, the president is absolutely interested and wants to get daca fixed, but what you just read, needs a really close read which is says that the senate has to authorize the mo

where does this put the senate democratic leader? the headline at p.s. -- at a.p. spotlight on chuck schumer. was this 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 ge

will senate democrats take that offer, which we have been told is the best that they will do. hey take it and vote through today? this comes down to the math. senate republicans need at least seven senate democrats to break ranks and vote with them today when they vote at noon. so all eyes will certainly be on those senate democrats who as of now have not said whether they will vote, whether they will come down on the side of senate republicans. a flurry of activity out here at the senate russell office building. senators going in and out of meetings. the most important time is the noon vote they're pushing towards, will they have enough to end this filibuster if they need 60 votes to pass that through over in the senate? brianna? >> sunlen serfaty, sunlen in the basement of one of the senate office buildings. that's how we know stuff is going down. that's where all the work happens there in the basement there on capitol hill. i want to bring back david chalian and gloria borger to talk about this. this is really interesting. we don't know for sure that there are enough votes.

president, i united states is one day into a government shutdown that senate democrats have forced on our country. let's take a look at where we are. last night a bipartisan majority of senators, republicans and democrats, voted to avoid this. a bipartisan majority voted to advance a noncontroversial bill that already passed the house and which the president had already said he'd signing. of course, like any compromise this funding bill cannot be all things to all people, but this bipartisan bill does what we need to do right now. it ends this pointless, pointless, irresponsible shutdown, funds the government for our troops, our veterans, and millions of vulnerable americans and extends health coverage for millions of children in low-income families. none of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle can point to a single thing in the bill that they oppose, not one thing. that's why a bipartisan majority voted for it last night. it would have passed smoothly and been sent for the president's signature. except -- except that the democratic leader took the extraordinary step of filibu

i hope senate democrats are starting to realize all this. hope they're starting to realize their constituents, their president, the house, the majority of the senate are on one side of this. on the other side, all alone, the democratic leader, who invented this unfortunate hostage situation and led his party into this untenable position. the solution is to end the foolishness. it's hurting millions of americans who have done absolutely nothing to deserve this. so, i would invite all of my colleagues across the aisle to join together and do what is obviously responsible and right for the people we represent. it's pretty clear here. let's reopen the government, let's resume the bipartisan discussion on funding our troops, daca, on government spending, and on all the other priorities that all of us can work together to resolve. >> that was the senate majority leader. he says the american people see right through this bluster and they want long-term solutions and he could not be more correct on that point. leland. leland: thank you, gillian. and

this is purely an attempt by the senate democrats, led by mr. schumer, it's why we call it the schumer shutdown, in order to try and get a shutdown that they think this president gets blamed for. reporter: you're saying that you need democrats' support in the senate. so -- mr. mulvaney: we got it in the house. reporter: are there any concessions that this white house is willing to make to try to get support from those democrats? mr. mulvaney: again, go back to what i said at the opening. they don't oppose anything in there. they support chip. every member of the finance subcommittee, a democrat, has voted for this exact chip extension. they don't want the cadillac tax to go into place. they've always supported clean c.r.'s. why would you have -- those are concessions. all ordinarily you'd put up a clean c.r. and let them vote it. worked in the house. there were several democrats who voted for it. reporter: is it take it or leave it on the bill that passed the house? democrats have to support the bill in the house -- mr. mulvaney: democrats should

the democrats are a leader. senator schumer what the democrats and the senate, they're blocking a. >> brian mcguire, jim kessler and this perhaps might be what's going on behind those closed doors on capitol hill. let's try to get a real direction of where they're going next. thank you, gentlemen. >> thank you. >>> still ahead we talk to republican representative don bacon on whether there is any hope today to end the government shutdown. what's wrong? it's dry... your scalp? mine gets dry in the winter too. try head and shoulders' dry scalp care it nourishes the scalp and... ...keeps you up to 100% flake free head and shoulders' dry scalp care oh good, you're awake! finally. you're still here? come on, denise. we're voya! we stay with you to and through retirement... ...with solutions to help provide income throughout. i get that voya is with me through retirement, i'm just surprised it means in my kitchen. oh. [whispering] so that means no breakfast? i said there might be breakfast. i was really looking forward to bre

this is senator richmond about the senate democrats, quote, "they are getting their butts kicked." do you agree, short and sweet, senator? >> seth -- cedric is a good man, i will put that simply. i am happy right now, i want to thank senator chuck schumer. there is a whole expression that life is simpler when you plow around the stump. i think senator schumer decided to plow the stump and i want to thank you for that. this maintains the status quo will continue to negotiate. if we have not reached an agreement by february, the 8th, senator mcconnell is going to put a bill on the floor and we'll be able to talk about an amnesty and sanctuary cities and border security, diversities and vi visa, lottery, cover blind immigration system like canada and austria have it. looks like somebody signed the things on purpose. we'll be able to talk about anything and all things immigration and we'll start voting. if 60 votes come out on one of of the bills, then that bill e - will go to the house -- i have no idea what the house will do and it will go present. what senator chuck schumer wanted an

i hope senate democrats are starting to realize all this. hope they are starting to realize their constituents, the president, the house, and a majority of the senate are on one side of this. on the other side. all alone, the democratic leader, who invented this unfortunate hostage situation and let his party into this position. is to end the full assurance -- and the foolishness, herding millions of americans who have done absolutely nothing to deserve millions ofing americans who have done absolutely nothing to deserve this. it's pretty clear here. ,et's reopen the government let's resume the bipartisan discussion on funding our troops, daca, and government spending, and all the other priorities that all of us can work together to resolve. host: mitch mcconnell and we are talking to alex bolton of "the hill." your is chuck schumer. >> the most important point is this. the republicans control the white house, the senate, the house. that is why america and the world are calling this shut down the trump shut down. it is the president and congr

senate. we need to get our family together, democrats, republican, and independents. that's what's missing at this point. because when i listened to the speech by senator cornyn, i do respect him. there are so many things we agree on. there are so many things that we understand to be priorities. and i want to also set the record straight. there were some words said about senator schumer's opening remarks. the reason senator schumer continues to refer to the trump shutdown is because at last friday, senator schumer was invited by the president to come for lunch. this was before the critical vote on the continuing resolution, the funding of our government. and this really was the first opportunity for senator schumer and the president face to face to try to reach an agreement. and the good news reported back to me by senator schumer afterwards, there was an understanding of what we were going to do on a myriad of issues, including the controversial issue of immigration and dreamers and daca and what we would do about the wall. some of us don't think the wall is such a gr

democrat and senates basha democrats and senate, step up. you already saw the movement. been negotiations taking place over the last several weeks. the president and i are few more that within a weeks, we can solve the issues related to the budget. we can resolve issues related to the border wall, chain migration, diversity lottery, daca. now is the time for us to

[laughter] host: where does this but the senate democratic leader. umer's decaying shutdown deal hurting him? is this his first major test since taking over from harry reid? julie: yes. it was the first time that democrats saw that they had leverage. 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 leverage. 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 are really seeing 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. remember, 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 t

senate. we'll move ahead and we'll deal with the house and the white house. >> where do you think democrats are right now. is chuck schumer happy with this? is his caucu happy? >> they would have liked more of a commitment. proceed. to bill. >> that would be vote on a bill essentially the senate floor would take a procedural step in public before february 8? >> the problem with that unless you finish the immigration bill before february 8. when we have to deal with the next shut down february 8 that kicks the bill off the senate calendar. and you can only bring it back -- if you have consent. we want to be able to start the immigration bill and finish the immigration bill. that will give us time. >> what does that mean for where schumer is going to talk to members of his caucus. is it your sense they'll be receptive and the government will open tomorrow? >> i think some will. some will remain reluctant. five democrats voted to keep the government open. so. >> you mean seven more? >> i believe that's the number. we voted to have the shorter time frame. we'll vote yes. we believe the commitment i

senate democrats shutdown senate democrats shut down this government and now senate democrats need ton this government back top need to open this government back up. stop holding our troops and children's health insurance hostage. end this reckless shutdown children's health insurance hostage. end this reckless shut down that is inflicting needless uncertainty on out inflicting needless uncertainty on our country. let common—sense and cooler heads prevail. come to your senses. do the right thing. open this government back up. we can speak to dr larry sabato — director at the centre for politics at the university of virginia. thank you for talking to us. to the outside world, the idea of the american government being shut down sounds crazy, i know we have been here before, how serious is this right now? it's very serious for this reason — one of your interviewees said it‘s just outrageous, because this is, shows the dysfunction of american government. i don‘t think our government. i don‘t think our government has ever been quite this dysfunctional, at least this modern times, although

the senate democrats have blo cked that. house member, i am not aware of all the pluses and minuses in the senate, but if we need to go back to the way we used to handle the filibuster, then we do it the way we did it traditionally. right now, you don't en have to be prest on the floor. you can be downtown having dinn. we need results. host: 60 votes needed in the senate to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government funded. night ase last as many members rose on the floor for a back-and-forth. we will see what happens later this morning. tune into c-span2 when the senate gavels in. trupm in with republicans in congress, a majority would blame the republican party if the government shuts down. you are running for governor in your state. are you worried this could impact you negatively? guest: i don't think about things like that. we are in a difficult situation. i don't think about who is going to get blamed or not get blamed. outcomesquired to have and results. it requires difficult decisions. i never calculate, is

that's up to the senate democrats.if the senate democrats want to shut the government down, if the senate democrats want to deny funding for our troops and want to stop chip funding for unrelated issues, that's a choice they would make. i don't think it's a good choice for them to make but it is their decision to make. in the back. >> "time" magazine. this will be i guess the fourth time in as many months that you guys have had to pass a cr. why is that? why -- >> do you want me to read my opening again? it's a legitimate question. i'm not trying to belittle your question. why are we doing this continuing resolutions? because senate democrats are not allowing appropriation bills to be brought up for a vote. because they are attaching unrelated issues to cap negotiations. so shouldn't we have regular order on appropriations? congress agrees on the spending level and congress funds appropriations to those levels. that is how appropriations are supposed to work. the house passed all 12 appropriation bills ahead of schedul
