the appropriators are going to go get the best agreement they can. that's the way the process should work and i anticipate we'll be moving on that. [ inaudible question ] i'm not going to get ahead of where the appropriators are. the appropriators are negotiating, writing this bill, and you'll see it at the end of the month. thanks, everybody. appreciate it.

we are both on the house appropriations committee. i was very proud to be nominated and appointed to that committee last fall. there was some great bipartisan work done on the house appropriations committee and it is a breath of fresh air. i do oppose the cuts to the nih and to research. [applause] rep. cartwright: we saw this budget that came out of the white house. history will prove me right or wrong. in my personal opinion our chief , executive and commander in chief never laid eyes on that budget. that budget, in my view, was drafted and compiled in the basement of the heritage foundation. which is a hard-line right-wing organization that wants government out of everything. wants to slash everything except a military. mick mulvaney, who i know very well is what the founders of the right-wing freedom caucus was nominated and approved to be the director of the office of management and budget, which is one of the most powerful parts of the executive branch in this country. that budget fully reflects things i know to be ideological pr

charlie dent and i are both on the house appropriations committee. i was very proud to be nominated and appointed to that committee last fall. there are some great bipartisan work done on the house appropriations committee, and it is a breath of fresh air to be working with bipartisan people like charlie. i do oppose the cuts to the nih and to research. [applause] we saw thisght: budget that came out of the white house. and history will prove me will write a wrong, but in my personal opinion, our chief executive and commander in chief never laid eyes on that budget. that budget, in my view, was drafted and compiled in the basement of the heritage foundation. , which is a hard-line right-wing organization that wants government out of everything, therefore once to slash everything except military. mick mulvaney, who i know very well, was of the founders of the one right-wing freedom caucus was approved to be the founder. budget. of the that budget fully reflects things i know to be ideological priorities of mick mulvaney and the freedom caucus. and it i

well, again, i really enjoy working with the republicans on the appropriations committee. i tell you, the overall chair of the entire appropriations committee is a man named rodney frelinghisen, a real gentleman. if everybody is throwing around political epithets about each other he's the last one to do that. he is a practical person. he likes to get the job done. i just got on this committee. we are kind of gearing up now to do our work. so check back with me later. i'll let you know how much i like it. what steps -- this is small writing here. what steps are being taken in the house to have president trump release his tax returns? [ applause ] >> ok. a bunch of questions here. but, yeah, there's a bill. one of the democrats introduced a bill in the house, and you remember from sesame street, before they cut the budget for public television. you remember from sesame street how bills work. i'm just a bill. bills get assigned to committee but it's all about who's in charge. right now, the republicans are in charge of the house. that means they control everything that happens

it remains to be seen exactly where the house and senate will come out on a top line number for appropriations for 2018. if it's anywhere near the $54 billion in cuts president trump has already proposed, that would be difficult to get through congress because democrats would not be able to support that. >> eric writes a daily budget newsletter for bloomberg government. on can read more bloomberg.com. nancy pelosi and speaker ryan talked about -- in their weekly speeches today. ms. pelosi: they said children shouldn't be able to ask questions, but you can take a picture. maybe we should segue into children asking a question. welcome, children. we always do what we do here in recognition of our responsibility to our children. as you know, washington is a place so dedicated to honoring our founders. you see monuments and statues throughout the city and throughout the capitol complex to that end. we do revere our founders and grateful for their leadership and vision. but what we do here, which is part of our founders' vision, is to work for the future. so you are inspiration, you are our purpose.

left to their own devices the appropriators can work this out unless they get from some determination they have to have certain poison pills in the bill and then assume they have the votes to pass it on their own. remember, they have the majority to keep government open whatever the bill is. whatever the bill is. so, yeah. i'm optimistic that we can -- i always have been optimistic about it because, again, i have confidence in the appropriators want to do the right thing by the american people and they understand each other's priorities and they understand the limitation of resources at the competition for funds demands. -- i alt in 1994 with thought with goodwill with director mulvaney and then he said we will shut down the government. well, first of all, i don't have the power to shut down the government. i wouldn't do it. it's not in my value system. i bailed them out a number of times so they didn't shut down government. but he of all people should be talking about shutting down government, he was one of the ring leaders of shutting down government when it was shut down for 17 day

and we also calculate the appropriation cities and the appropriation subject to the limit. and the total tax proceeds estimated is at a 3.7 billion dollars, and the, after it is excluded the allow of the exemptions that the services and the federal mandated services and the qualify always at a 676 million dollars, and our net proceeds for appropriation then is to or at a 3 billion dollars. and my previous slide showing that the limit is at 3.19 billion that means that the cities actually are under the limit by 187 million dollars. and that is last slide here is to show you the historical value of the amount that the cities appropriation under the limit. and you can see that we are actually much better than last year. and we see the slide as conclude inned my presentation, and happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you. supervisor yee has a few. >> on the slide that indicates the net proceeds, the bottom of that slide, the approximate limits is 2.998. >> yes. >> around, 3 billion. and does that number include the projection if the sales tax is to pass. >>

we are both on the house appropriations committee. nominated proud to be and appointed their last fall. great bipartisan work done on the house appropriations committee and it is a breath of fresh air. i do oppose the cuts to the nih and to research. we saw this budget that came out of the white house. history will prove me will right or wrong. our chief executive and commander in chief never laid eyes on that budget. that budget, in my view, was drafted and compiled in the basement of the heritage foundation. which is a hard-line right-wing organization that once government out of everything. wants to slash everything except a military. one of the founders of the right-wing freedom congress -- caucus was approved to be the founder. that budget fully reflects things i know to be ideological priorities of the freedom caucus. it is dead on arrival because of that. [applause] rep. cartwright: because there is so much public support. democracy really works, and case you were wondering. there is so much public support for scientific researc

now, i'd like to talk first about some good news, the appropriations process. our negotiation and negotiations to keep the government open. the president has backed off his threat to hold government funding hostage over the wall and over cutting health care funding for millions of americans. this health care funding is essential to ensuring that millions of americans won't see their premiums skyrocket, and that they won't be kicked off their plans. make no mistake we will watch the administration like a hawk to make sure they follow through on their promise to continue this funding. but we're very happy that they've seen the light that democrats have tried to show them for weeks. threatening to hurt americans for political gain is a loser. much like the administration's withdrawal of their demand for wall funding which democrats laid out a month ago as a condition for successful bipartisan negotiations on the appropriations bill, this decision brings us closer to a bipartisan agreement to fund the government and is good news for the american people. the tendency

i have confidence in the appropriators to do the right thing by the american people. and they understand each other's priorities and they understand the limitation of resources that the competition for funds demands. i thought with goodwill, i dealt with director mulvaney. and then, he said he was going -- he said i was going to shut down the government. first of all, i do not have the power. i would not have done it. it is not in my value system. i have bailed them out a number of time so they did not shut down the government. he of all people talking about shutting down government -- he was one of the ringleaders of shutting down government when it was shut down for 17 days. he was one of the ringleaders and the scores of republicans that voted to keep government shutdown after this 17 days and the public outcry was such that speaker boehner brought the measure to the floor. and we supported the number is that they had to open up government. and so, he has been a champion on shutting down and keeping government shutdown and not honoring the -- of the united states o

they cannot make up the federal appropriation. you would then see the deconstruction of the quality of contents, the mission would be watered down. i be particularly concerned about early childhood education but also about journalism. it reminds me talking about gwen who is a very good friends. she and judy were such incredible partners. julie woodruff calls news hour news without the noise. they're actually enjoying an increase in viewers. as his mpr in terms of listeners. what we do in terms of looking at and informs america, more and more, despite her because of a myriad of different choices is a code of editorial integrity to stay focused on our mission. every meeting our mission? that is the heart and soul public media. also, we have to prove to all of you and to the congress and the american people that we are stewarding this money in ways that are of benefit to them. i usedsathis was at a cost of a dollar 35 for taxpayer, the equivalent of a cup of coffee. but it's like a cup of coffee and rolled station. nevermind, i have t

and this at least buys time to not regulate business out of the existence but if there's appropriate legislative remedy and exactly, my friend in california has a good one. all i can tell you us the fight's on and we're in it and we're still under consideration. host: let's go back to the health care vote. it's not happening this week. we heard that from the leadership office last night. when do i expect a vote could happen on this latest revision to "the talk"? -- affordable care act? guest: we're not putting the schedule on the vote until we got the vote. we've not literally sat down and done a vote count with every member because the focus has been on finishing up the appropriations process. so what's going on now is a lot of discussion and "education" where members have questions. most of us -- remember the agreement was struck during the recess. so i haven't seen the agreement until we got back. i've heard it describe. but you have to look at the language on something as important as this. and i think that's what a lot of members. and they've got questions and those questions are

now that trump is out, the top republican and top democrat on the appropriations committee in the house and senate are the ones that are most involved in writing the deal. >> clearly the funding of the wall has been a big issue. they've been trying to delay it for another month to give them time to negotiate the details. >> i don't rule that out especially given this is tuesday and they are saying we hope to have a deal in the next few days. of course without a deal in the next few days we hit the deadline i don't know that it's likely, but i wouldn't rule out the fact that we have to do short-term continuing resolutions to bridge us to a longer-term deal. there is plenty of precedent for that. that happened fairly regularly. more importantly, not be able to brief all their members. the leaders might've reached an agreement but they needed to present it to the members. >> do you have a sense, is either party prepared to own the government shutdown. >> this is the big issue. this is part of why president trump likely had to back down. first of all he hadn't done a very good job of sellin

and we also calculate the appropriation cities and the appropriation subject to the limit. and the total tax proceeds estimated is at a 3.7 billion dollars, and the, after it is excluded the allow of the exemptions that the services and the federal mandated services and the qualify always at a 676 million dollars, and our net proceeds for appropriation then is to or at a 3 billion dollars. and my previous slide showing that the limit is at 3.19 billion that means that the cities actually are under the limit by 187 million dollars. and that is last slide here is to show you the historical value of the amount that the cities appropriation under the limit. and you can see that we are actually much better than last year. and we see the slide as conclude inned my presentation, and happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you. supervisor yee has a few. >> on the slide that indicates the net proceeds, the bottom of that slide, the approximate limits is 2.998. >> yes. >> around, 3 billion. and does that number include the projection if the sales tax is to pass. >>

host: was the last time we actually have the appropriations bill? guest: it has been years since he went through the normal process. a process laid out with the president puts forth the budget and congress takes it up or starts fresh and comes up with a budget. the house and senate reconcile differences and then they pass the appropriations bill but we don't get it done anymore. the process is broken. once we think about it, there is no corporation in the world that would be allowed to run without a budget. the biggest economy in the world is operating without a budget all too often? i should be a shocker right there. it is a sign we need to fix the process. but even only do get it done, the appropriations bills and what they are -- that is the passing of the funding bills that fund our discretionary portion of the budget, one third of the budget. and you do have bills for different pieces of that. two thirds of the budget is on the automatic pilot, social security and medicare, they don't go through the appropriations process. even we do have a budg

didn't have to come to the floor to oppose a rule and this one week appropriations bill. but i'm so frustrated just like families and businesses are across this country that this congress still refuses to bring the debate, have the debates, have the discussion on the issues that really impact our families back home. they deserve better than this dysfunctional republican majority. why don't we stand up for them for a change? and the democrats are willing to have those debates. let's debate and discuss jobs. let's debate and discuss how kids can afford the cost of a college education. let's discuss how we lift our public schools. let's discuss rebuilding america and creating jobs through modern infrastructure investments. let's have these debates. let's not take up the time of the american people on a silly one-week extension of funding the government so we can do this again next week where we have to debate and take up all the time on how we fund the government to september 30. american families deserve better. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: t

the top members of the appropriations committee, republicans and correct in the house and senate involved in those negotiations and is -- as of right now a surprising number of open issues. a half dozen from very big to someone big, open issues that they are trying to nail down. it is one of these situations said,as the leadership nothing is finally agree to until everything is agreed to. >> president trump saying that the debate over funding the border wall will wait until later this year. how significant was that? >> from democrats' standpoint it was a major rate through. two weeks ago democrats said we need to see cost-sharing payments, obamacare cost-sharing payments, money for that needs to be included. that was a new demand. it has been percolating. there is litigation house republicans filed on this issue. it has been hanging out there for years but democrats said we need to see that money practically put into the spending bill. a new offer. you could look at the wall at -- as the white house's retaliation. if you are going to ask for obamacare payments we will ask for a long time

and we also calculate the appropriation cities and the appropriation subject to the limit. and the total tax proceeds estimated is at a 3.7 billion dollars, and the, after it is excluded the allow of the exemptions that the services and the federal mandated services and the qualify always at a 676 million dollars, and our net proceeds for appropriation then is to or at a 3 billion dollars. and my previous slide showing that the limit is at 3.19 billion that means that the cities actually are under the limit by 187 million dollars. and that is last slide here is to show you the historical value of the amount that the cities appropriation under the limit. and you can see that we are actually much better than last year. and we see the slide as conclude inned my presentation, and happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you. supervisor yee has a few. >> on the slide that indicates the net proceeds, the bottom of that slide, the approximate limits is 2.998. >> yes. >> around, 3 billion. and does that number include the projection if the sales tax is to pass. >>

we don't have to add money to the appropriations bill. this is not about new money. there may be some language that can be changed. i don't think my republican colleagues want to see this go unfunded. the instability they would create in the markets would be monumental. we have seen the expansion of medicaid. also those states that did not comply with the affordable care act themselves. the impact will be greatest in those states. and they are largely represented by republicans. say, not want to tongue-in-cheek, it is complicated, and in this pr -- and this president was making promises he couldn't keep. there are real lives at stake and he didn't realize not when he made those promises he would be taking health care away from tens of millions of americans. >> the speaker said that cost sharing is not in the cr. is that a dealbreaker for you guys at this point? rep. crowley: the responsibility of continuing the government falls upon the majority. they determine what bill comes to the floor. if they need democratic votes, they need to be talking to us about what is in

the top members of the appropriations committees in both the house and senate involved in the negotiations. right now a surprising number of ocean open issues. at least half a dozen from fairly big to somewhat big open issues that they're still trying to nail down. it's one of the situations where until everything is agree to nothingness agreed to. >> one of the issues off the table, president trump said funding for the border wall will wait till later this year. how significant was the? >> from democrats it was a major breakthrough. probably stepping back a little bit two weeks ago democrat said we need to see cost-sharing payments. money for that needs to be included in this bill. that was a new demand. it had been percolating a little bit. there's litigation the house republicans filed on this issue and has been hanging out there for years. the democrat said we need to see that money put into the spending bill. that was a new autho offer ther. you can look at the wall as the white house retaliation a response a if you're going to ask for your obama care payments were going to ask for th

host: was the last time we actually have the appropriations bill? guest: it has been years since he went through the normal process. a process laid out with the president puts forth the budget and congress takes it up or starts fresh and comes up with a budget. the house and senate reconcile differences and then they pass the appropriations bill but we don't get it done anymore. the process is broken. once we think about it,

instead is a omnibus package that pulls together the appropriations part of the deadline and we have even seen government shutdown as a result. but the next stopgap funding measure to keep the lights on expires april 28 so we are about to face another deadline incongruous. talk about the consequences of making these but the decisions in this fashion. >> it is management and we don't have to have the crisis we have been promised for a number of years that each appropriations bill repasts indeed come together in the conference committee will vote on the bill's final time but having a continuing resolution we end up with very little time to read a massive document they have no idea what is hidden and the benefits the special interest groups both with leadership it doesn't benefit the american people or the representatives. >> i talk about one example where a drug company got a special provision is they had given a lot of money to the leadership can think again this provision with that small amount of money that they gave like 60 your $70,000 they've made tens of millions of dollars prof

essentially, the top members of the appropriations committees, republicans and democrats from both the house and senate, involved in those negotiations. and as of right now, a surprising number of open issues. you know, at least a half dozen fairly from very big to somewhat big open issues that they're still trying to nail down. and it's one of these situations whereas the leadership says until everything is agreed to, nothing is finally agreed to. host: and one of the issues off the table, president trump saying that the debate over funding the border wall will wait until later this year. how significant was that? guest: so from the democrat standpoint, it was a major breakthrough. it's probably worth stepping back a little bit. two weeks ago democrats said, hey, we need to see cost-sharing payments. obamacare cost-sharing payments, money for that needs to be included in this bill. that was sort of a new demand. it had been percolating a little bit, there's actually litigation that house republicans filed on this issue. it's been hanging out there for years, but democrats suddenly sai

in that, in this internationalist congressman from grand rapids gains an important seat on the appropriations committee. he oversees the army's budget. he is involved in the cold war strategy as he travels from base to base, looking at american interests around your and southeast asia. he was a republican on capitol hill.

and senate who don't want to do that i hope in the next couple of days, it'll be a wrap up in the appropriation goes, in a responsible way. again, my message to them, you're the only ones that have the power to shut down the government. think what that does to the most powerful nation on earth, the greatest nation on earth. >> thank you, patrick. questions? [inaudible]

[inaudible] what my view has always been is that the four corners, the appropriations committee members in the house of senate aided in working with their leadership could get this done without white house interference and i remain of that you. senator mcconnell, leader ryan can talk to the white house as to what they want but thus far, the white house hasn't shown it's very self-destructive in what it's done. thank you, everybody.

process we note that the radius to work was appropriations committees would pass 12 separate bills funding the government but that does not happened since the mid 1990's it is a continuing resolution or a big package that pulls together the appropriations and then we sea in recent years a shutdown so the next stop gap measure to keep the lights on april 28 that is another deadline and congress. what about the consequences of making spending decisions >> it is the wrong way to do it it is managing by crisis we have been promised for a number of years that we deal with each appropriations bill in the house they do with the bills then become together and vote on the bill's one final time by having a continuing resolution we have very little time to read the document very few members know what is hidden in the document and the benefits the special interest groups and those in leadership that can figure out how to put it into the continuing resolution doesn't benefit the people of the representatives. i did talk about one example of a drug company fell got a bushel provision -- a special provis

say onewould also comedy is the appropriations committee. ey do their work behind the scenes, and there is a lot of agreement they know how to compromise, and they have to produce these bills or some version of that every year. sometimes they, sure to do a stopgap, but they are working along. they say, leave us alone, we will have a deal can coalesce around. committee sayhe trump is a wildcard, and if he reads the deal, he could put a stop to it. kristina: i agree, and if the appropriations members are the only ones who voted to never have a government shutdown or anything close to it, the trick is they need to pass the whole house and the whole senate. that is where we can run into problems. host: what are they saying at this point? have they been active during the break? are they prepared to compromise or holder gaunt -- hold their ground? vote against the bill. they don't have much of a seat at the table because leadership goes to democrats immediately to craft a bill. the freedom caucus has been involved in trying to revive the obamacare

[inaudible] what my view has always been is that the four corners, the appropriations committee members in the house of senate aided in working with their leadership could get this done without white house interference and i remain of that you. senator mcconnell, leader ryan can talk to the white house as to what they want but thus far, the white house hasn't shown it's very self-destructive in what it's done. thank you, everybody. [inaudible conversations] in case you missed it, karen harper royal at georgetown university's dedication. >> naming these feelings for isaac hawking is the beginning of our journey together towards the healing from the deserts of georgetown's legacy of slavery. >> pennsylvania congressman holding a town hall meeting. >> we had moved the needle on this discussion. it used to be no way, no how on anything like the aca but now it's, let's make it work. >> being competitive enterprise institute marlo lewis on science and public policy. >> to the extent that if possible, scientific research should similarly be separated from government. then you would not find cl

the appropriation committees have been working together on a bipartisan basis to come up with the package and the democratic leader will be in a role similar to what i was during the obama years. these kind of bills can pass without a reasonable number of the party of the minority in the senate and we are optimistic that we can work that out and meet the deadline at the end of the month. >> you've spoken in support of the president's actions yesterday. in your mind what is the constitutional authority that underpins that and you have concerns about him using that authority however he may in the future. >> i think he had the authority to do what he did and i'm glad he did it. >> there senators from both sides of the aisle. [inaudible] would you be in support to have some sort of. [inaudible] >> i would be interested in looking at an if the president thanks he needs it. president obama, i don't think ever specifically asked for one either. >> he sent to. >> yes but they were so restrictive that most of my members felt that it was to micromanage future executive branch activity in the area.

optimistic that we can -- i always had been optimistic about it because, again, i have confidence in the appropriators to do the right thing by the american people and they understand each other's priorities and they understand the limitation of resources that the competition for funds demands. so, yes. i dealt night before with i thought and with goodwill with director mulvaney. and then he said i spoke -- shut down government. first of all, i don't have the power to shut down government. i wouldn't do it. it's not in my value system. i bailed them out a number of times so that they didn't shut down government but he of all people should be talking about shutting down government. he was one of the ringleaders of shutting down government when it was shut down for 17 days. you remember? he was one of the ringleaders and he was one of the scorers of republicans who voted to keep government shut down after the 17 days and the public outcry was such that speaker boehner brought the bill to the floor and we supported their immoral number that they had in the budget to open up government we were willing to

the appropriations committees have been working together on a bipartisan basis to come up with a package. of course, the democratic leaders will be in a role similar to the one i was during the obama years. these kind of bills cannot pass without a reasonable number of the party of the minority in the senate and where optimistic we will be able to work that out. we should be able to meet the deadline at the end of the month. with that, let me throw it open. >> you spoke in support of presidents actions yesterday. in your mind, what is the legal and constitutional authority that underpins that and do you have any concerns about amusing that authority however he may question mark >> i think the president had the authority to do what he did and i'm glad he did it. end, john mccain and senators from both sides of the aisle called for [indiscernible] of some sort and we talked about this in 2011. would you be in support if we have issues with syria and other nations to have some sort of [indiscernible] ? >> i would be interested in taking a look at it if the president thinks he needs a. i don

they say they dealt with the matter appropriately. the fa are still investigating the matter and in the last the fa are still investigating the matter. here's our sports news correspondent richard conway. they say swift action, as they call it, meant it was dealt with with utmost seriousness from the outset, and was resolved to satisfaction, they say that was their priority. they conclude the statement by saying the appropriate action they believe has been taken and therefore they continue to back david moyes as their manager. this isn't the end of their manager. this isn't the end of the matter as much as sunderland and david moyes wish that was the case. the football association will right to david moyes asking for his observations, for his side of the story effectively, they must then decide if rule breaches have taken place and what, if any, action they will take. in the last hour the chief executive of women's aid has urged the governing body to strand —— send out a strong message. she said the ingrained sexism at the heart of dav

we can talks about the procedures for getting, what do you think it's the appropriate amount of time for a member to serve in congress? >> guest: that's a lot of questions. a lot of the term limit bills that are out there, i support term-limit bills that are out there and some of them are too short. we have to be realistic about, if you have a speaker of the house who is third in line to the presidency, that person should have served a sufficient number of years to have learned the entire system. it's not prallt call for the speaker of the house to have served four years become speaker of the house for two years. that sort of turnover wouldn't be healthy. we don't like the bureaucracy and executive branch having as many power as they do. it's hard to pinpoint the exact number that would be the maximum, 12, 14, 16 years is a range that i think it's a fair range. when you start talk about 30 years, 40 years, there are some members that i served with that have been around from the time that richard nixon was impeached and that is a long time to be in the swamp and not be affected by it.

they're letting the decision on the wall wait for the next appropriate moment which obey the fy 18 appropriationsn: for the democrats are always decrying the notion of shutting down the government as it happened in recent years. this time, they were threatening to do it themselves. >> i don't think the democrats are threatening to shutdown the government because republicans don't need us to give the government open. they have more than enough votes in the house to get this done and they have more than enough votes in the senate to get this done. the problem donald trump has is maintaining republican conference. he can keep the tuesday group and the freedom caucused together to get some things done, so he has to depend upon democratic votes to keep the government open. this is bizarre to me. sing the president has control both chambers of congress, as well as the white house, who should i need us to do anything. >> the real key here, this is a 60 vote if they decide to filibuster. it does take a number of democrats to get through the senate if the democrats decide to filibuster and checked on the

the appropriators are going to go get the best agreement they can. that's the way the process should work and i anticipate we'll be moving on that. [ inaudible question ] i'm not going to get ahead of where the appropriators are. the appropriators are negotiating, writing this bill, and you'll see it at the end of the month. thanks, everybody. appreciate it. >> all right, house speaker paul ryan explaining, yes, the house of representatives, republicans are working on hammering out some kind of language, perhaps work toward a deal on health care. >> warned we're in the beginning stages, really, the collaborative stages. >> contrast that with another piece of news we're just getting. phil mattingly joins us right now. and phil mattingly, you are reporting that the white house is going to put pen to paper today and send some language up to the capitol on health care? because that would be a big development. >> reporter: yeah, no question about it. but look, i think it's really important. you watched what speaker ryan just said and it really kind of und

>> all of the appropriation bills. all of them, none of these can be done with one party only. as soon as we finish funding the government through september 30, we are already into the 2018 appropriations cycle. all of that will have to be done on a bipartisan basis. i am confident he looks at it the same way. sure, there will be other bills. i will announce them when we get to them. >> jumping back to the 2018 issue, after going through what you went through with the filibuster and so forth, it was reported that the rnc had a good fundraising month. how do you look at the prospects of getting at least eight seats right now? >> this is april of 2017 and you're asking me to predict what will happen in the fall of 2018. i decline the opportunity.
