of senate democrats. regardless of what you think of that argument, the ball will be in senate democrats' court this morning. they're going to have to decide if the new effort in the senate is enough to get their support, that is, the exact same continuing resolution that passed the house a few days ago, now lays before the senate with a shorter timetable. it would end february 8th instead of the 16th. why does this date matter? lindsey graham and other republicans involved in the senate immigration discussion say that shorter timetable ought to put pressure on the white house to strike a big picture deal. so what we're going to see develop over the day today is, is that enough, that shorter timetable being the only change, enough to convince what probably would have to be five or six additional senate democrats to vote for and reopen the government and restart big picture negotiations? because as of right now, the white house and senate republican leaders are saying they will not negotiate on the immigra

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

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 families of heroes who did not. the cdc, forfor the nih and for routine safety inspections of food and medicine . to most americans, those sound like fundamental responsibilities. to the democratic leader, apparently they sound like hostages ripe for the taking. all of this was unnecessary. there is a broad consensus on both sides of the aisle that related toher issues illegal immigration require a

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

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. >

but senate democrats said no. mr. speaker, as more than 90% of those on the other side of the aisle in this house did as well. 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 th

instead democrats in the senate voted no. they said no to all of these critical priorities, national security, health care for our children, keeping the government open. all while they push their own political agenda. the only thing they said yes to was the schumer shutdown. enough is enough, mr. speaker. nothing in this bill is controversial. we did our job. we passed re-authorization for chip, children's health insurance, not once but twice and stalled in the senate. democrats own the schumer shutdown. they have said no to policies the american people want and the american people need. washington is broken. we need to get back on track. i urge my colleagues to work together, work in the interests of all the recent dents of investigate virginia and americans, military families and retirees. they are depending on us. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does gentlelady from texas seek recognition? the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. jackson lee: mr. speaker, to the men and w

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

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

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

that senate democrats opposed. funding for our troops, providing essential health insurance for children, and keeping the federal government open. there was nothing in that bill for them to oppose. in ohio, this is going to have devastating effects. wright-patterson air force base, air reserve bases and national guard basis throughout our state -- those people will face a great deal of uncertainty starting today. -- 224,000 ohio on then that depend children's health insurance .rogram this is absolutely uncalled for. did not have to happen, and it is a sad day that senate democrats, led by chuck schumer, have decided to take this irresponsible course instead of standing up to their responsibility and doing what they're constitutional mandate is -- what they're constitutional mandate is, which is support and defend the constitution of the united states -- what their constitutional mandate is. i join my colleagues in calling on senate democrats to come back. we are here. we are ready to work. we stand ready to open th

senate democrat to say she would start opposing this. over the last several months it kind of snowballed as more and more senators after considerable pressure put senate democrats and on the spending fight they voted for this. they got so much blowback for basically citing against d.r.e.a.m.ers. you saw the pressure build the last several weeks as there was no immigration deal in congress and the spending impasse continued. so that's really what you saw here tonight. >> whenever donald trump does something and blames it for doing it for his base, that is the theme for the week. do you think the media will generate this and say this is a schumer shutdown. this is a left wing of the democratic party demand. it seems there is a struggle on twitter as to who is at fault. this is clearly a schumer shutdown, suspect it? >> 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, i

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

story, senate democrats derail bill to avert shutdown. that gives you a sense that the blame game, how ever it is portrayed, is going to be a little tougher for democrats. they had that bill in front of them to not do what we are now. >> shannon: if this administration is trying to be careful, they control house senate and white house to make this as painless as they can for the public, that's going to factor in as well. people aren't going to be showing up and being denied services in important places. social security checks go out, all of those important things continue to happen. they aren't fog to put the public face on it like we saw in 2013 when it was a more adversarial government. >> bret: they will go go out of their way. and while they have the majority in the senate, they'll say they don't control it. they don't have the 60 votes. you may hear the president weigh in on that. earlier tonight, sarah sanders tweeted democrats can't shut down the booming trump economy. are they now so desperate they'll shut down the government inst

my colleagues, senate democrats shut down this government. and now senate democrats need to open this government back up. stop holding children's health insurance hostage. end this reckless shutdown that is 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. i yield. >> gentleman from wisconsin yields back. gentleman from kentucky is recognized. pursuant to clause 7, rule 20, i move a call of the house. >> okay, so we just listened in there to speaker paul ryan making his case about what needs to happen regarding the shutdown. clearly putting the blame clearly on the democrat's shoulders, putting the ball in their court. let's go to cnn's manu raju on the hill where the senate has gabled back in. abby phillip is at the white house where the government shutdown has put a damper on the president's anniversary. this push now is to keep this shutdown from dragging on. what are we going to see on the senate floor? >> we're going to see an

senate democrats are clear. they 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

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, to most americans, those sound like fundamental responsibilities. to the democratic leader, apparently they found hostages ripe for the taking. and all this was totally unnecessary. there is a broad consensus on both sides of the aisle that daca and other issues related to immigration require a compromise solution, almost everyone here, democrat and republican believe we need to get

now, it's the second day of the senate democrat 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 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 c.d.c., for the n.i.h., and for routine safety inspections of food and medicine. to most americans, those signed like fundamental responsibilities to. to the democratic leader, apparently they sound like hostages ripe for the taking. and all of this was totally unnecessary. there is a broad consensus on both sides of the aisle that daca and other issues related to illegal immigration require a comp

day one of the senate democrats' government shutdown. we did everything we could to stop them, put forward a noncontroversial bill that contains nothing. nothing. they even claim to object to it. if we continue funding for the federal government and secure the future of the state children's health insurance program for the vulnerable families that rely on it. the bill passed the house. the president said he would sign it. a bipartisan majority of democrats and republicans voted for it. the votes were there. the president was ready. the solution to this manufactured crisis was inches away. but then the democratic leader took the extraordinary step of filibustering this legislation, preventing it from passing, and plunging the country into this totally avoidable mess. house of representatives, the president, and a bipartisan majority of republican and democratic senators all agreed on a compromised bill that would have prevented a shutdown. it would enable congress to do the commonsense thing, keep negotiating other issues while also provi

senate democrats derail bill to avert shutdown. senate democrats block passage of a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open. bloomberg, senate democrats block g.o.p. funding plan as shutdown kicks in. those are just a few of the sort of coverage of this by the media. and so the point i would make, mr. president, is that i think it's not being lost on people outside this chamber what happens happening here. this is purely an attempt to hijack the united states senate over a debate on an issue which, frankly, doesn't have an urgent deadline. there's nothing that says that we have to have the issue of daca solved tomorrow or even the day after that. there's a deadline in march and there were good-faith negotiations underway between republicans and democrats in the house nn the senate -- house and in the senate to solve that issue, and it is an issue that needs to be resolved. there is great sympathy on both sides of the united states senate for how to deal with those young people who were brought into this country here illeg

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

senate democrats are basically conducting a 2-year-old temper tantrum. cr the's the shortest white house would be willing to accept? a three-week cr offered in the senate, some democrats have said they would vote for that. what's the minimum? >> i'm not going to negotiate that in the national press. i think the reality is that there is a bill that passed the house and the president said he would sign to give us four weeks to continue the daca negotiations. we have now agreed to reduce it to three weeks. we think that is a concession on our part, leader mcconnell awful to that, i hope -- leader mcconnell offered that. >> the members of the administration were saying they felt pretty confident we would be able to avoid a shutdown by today. you have been on capitol hill today beating with lawmakers. based on those conversations, where are you at now? again,l, i was -- everything in this bill are programs democrats have advocated for. i will not get back to the job of handicapping what i think the chances are today. the said, i am hopeful democrats recognize

>> it is difficult for senate democrats. as phil described, getting through the house is the hard part for republicans. we don't know if they will do that. for a lot of senate democrats, it is an easy no. there are enough democrats for whom this is a difficult vote trying to maneuver that is what you will see over the next couple days. republicans are going to say over and over democrats are shutting down the government over daca and over amnesty or appeals to their base. democrats have to find a way to justify rejecting this bill that goes beyond just that and say send us something better for the american people. that's going to be their message. >> the last time we had a shutdown was 2013. i remember in d.c. and covering that and so many people were saying, a shutdown is not a big deal. it just shuts down the parks. it is a big deal. the job of congress to fund the government and a shutdown by its definition means congress is not doing its job. "the wall street journal" says democrats think the shutdown will give them a ch

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

five democratic senators voted for it. fast forward to today on the procedural motion and there were 33 senators who caucused with the democrats who backed basically the same bill. ok, the timeline was a little different. the republicans were unified in their message. they were 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 that they blinked. host: let's go through some of the senate democrats who did not support today's action. senator sanders of vermont, elizabeth wharton -- warren of massachusetts,, harris of california, what do they all have in common? guest: they're all thinking about running for president. there is no doubt about it that those candidates who are thinking about it, who are in the senate, they were critical of what senator schumer struck. interesting vote was senator tester who is up for re-election voted against this . but wi

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 filibustering this bipartisan bill and initiating his own government shutdown. why? well, because he explains the president would not give him every

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 schedu

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

house speaker paul ryan said this, senate democrats shut down the government and now senate democrats need to open the government back up. republican and democratic leaders both said that they would continue to talk raising the possibility of a solution over the weekend, but house republican leaders once again are vowing they are not going to bend when it comes to daca. when will democrats bend on this issue or are they going to allow this to continue. >> that is a good question and if anybody knows the answer, then they could probably -- nobody knows. i can tell you this, julie, i have heard democratic members walking up to republicans today saying how long do you think this thing is going to go, neither side really knows, the one thing that's off the table is very short-term continuing resolution, something that's only a couple of days long. it does not seem like there's any appetite for that at the white house, among the republican conference, that is not going to go anywhere. julie: yeah. >> the three-week deal has bipartisan support, lindsey graham one of the no votes in the sena

up next democrat senator chris

my colleagues, senate democrats shut down this government and now senate democrats need to open this government back up. stop holding our troops and children's health insurance hostage. end this reckless shutdown that is 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. i yield. >> gentleman from wisconsin yield's back. gentleman from kentucky is recognized. pursue to-- >> pursue. >> that's speaker ryan with harsh, harsh words for democrats saying, quote, there is no reason for the shutdown and also saying senate democrats are willfully pushing the shutdown on our country. i'm going to turn it over to leland. leland: thank you. the messaging coming off from speaker ryan, some of the very same messaging we're hearing here at the white house. and raj, we were on last weekend and you all, but predicted this saying if democrats want to tie funding to daca, then there's going to be a shutdown because the white house isn't budging. 12 hours in, the same position? >> exactly the s

there is nothing in this bill that senate democrats opposed. but what they're saying is there is not other things in the bill we want, and so we're going to shut down the government. but it is bizarre, in my experience, in the senatest to y i'm going to vote against the bill that i support. what's that all about? they want to fund the government? i think they do if they can figure way out of this conundrum. that's not particularly controversial. do they want to fund the military? i honestly believe our colleagues across the aisle want to support our military. although it's hard to tell when you see what they have done here. but our military has broad support, generally. do you want to reauthorize the children's health insurance program for six years? well, that passed out of the senate finance committee of which i sit with broad bipartisan support. and it's very popular not only to the governors who have to run the program, but also here in the congress. so why abandon all the things you support over an unrelated issue? and one that we are in a

two groups to watch for are the house democrats and senators. gop defense hawks in the house say the party's short-term bill does not meet campaign promises. >> are you in a position to vote on what is out there for a budget resolution on friday? >> no. i want to do what we told the american people to do. what they elected us to do. fund the fence. do what the election was about on immigration. if the democrats want to shutdown the government to give amnesty to people who came here illegally, you can have them on the show and explain why that is appropriate. >> senate democrats under heavy pressure from the administration. they want protections for d.r.e.a.m.ers. people brought here illegally as children. many democrats leaning against a stop-gap bill. >> i know how my colleague can look the d.r.e.a.m.ers in the eye and say we will engage in breaking america's promise and violating our trust. at some point, standing on moral principle is why we're here. we made a promise to the d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> senate democrats have one republican ally. that is

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

my colleagues, senate democrats, shut down this government, and now senate democrats need to open this government back up. stop holding our troops and children's health insurance hostage. end this reckless shutdown that is inflicting needless uncertainty on our country. let common sense and cooler heads prevail. come to your senses. do the right thing. openness government backup. high-yield. host: house speaker paul ryan earlier today on the house floor. this was a week in which the house was scheduled to be off, except there were a number of compels scheduled, presumably they have been scrubbed. guest: i think they might have to be. whatever passes -- that's a good question. i don't know what will happen with the house. they were supposed to be on recess this week. that is part of the reason why paul ryan is so mad, it messes up the house schedule in a major way. it is clear that house funding measure that came to the floor yesterday on friday is dead. whatever the senate does, the house is going to have to vote on it. it is possible they could do it by some sort of unanimous consent,

senate democrats derail bill to avert shutdown. senate democrats block passage of a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open. bloomberg, senate democrats block g.o.p. funding plan as shutdown kicks in. those are just a few of the sort of coverage of this by the media. and so the point i would make, mr. president, is that i think it's not being lost on people outside this chamber what happens happening here. this is purely an attempt to hijack the united states senate over a debate on an issue which, frankly, doesn't have an urgent deadline. there's nothing that says that we have to have the issue of daca solved tomorrow or even the day after that. there's a deadline in march and there were good-faith negotiations underway between republicans and democrats in the house nn the senate -- house and in the senate to solve that issue, and it is an issue that needs to be resolved. there is great sympathy on both sides of the united states senate for how to deal with those young people who were brought into this country here illeg

he is meeting with the leader of the senate democrats, chuck schumer. here is the senate, arriving at the white house, just about an hour ago. and, according to a source, we learned that this is just about the president seeing what leader schumer is willing to put on the table and that no deals will be cut. that's the latest we have on this. if the government does run out of money at midnight tonight, it will fall on the one-year anniversary of president trump's inauguration. so, what's the chance of that? good question. we'll give you the shruggy emoji. nobody knows what's going to happen next. right now the blame game is at full pitch. with republicans and senate democrats, you did see the house pass cr, continuing resolution, short-term bill that would keep all of this from happening. and right now with the cr, it's with the senate side where democrats are opposing it, demanding that the issue of young, undocumented immigrants known as d.r.e.a.m.ers being addressed and their leer, chuck schumer, is facing the music. >> what we're calling the schumer

if the senate democrats want to shut the government down, if the senate democrats want to deny funding for our troops, if the senate democrats want to stop c.h.i.p. funding for unrelated issues, that's a choice they would make, i don't think it is a good choice for them to make, but that would be their decision to make. in the back. >> i'm nash jenkins with "time" magazine. this will be the fourth time in as many months that you guys have had to pass the cr. why is that? why -- >> want me to read my opening again? >> i mean -- >> it is a legitimate question. i'm not trying to belittle your question. why are we doing this continuing resolution? because senate democrats are not allowing appropriation bills to even be brought up for a vote. because they're attaching unrelated issues to cap negotiations. so shouldn't we have regular order on appropriations. congress agrees on the spending appropriations tohose levels. that is how appropriations are supposed to work. the hse passed all 12 appropriation bills ahead of schedule this year. the senate hasn't brought up one appropriation bill. t

now it's the second day of the senate democrats filibuster in the senate democrat shut down 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. because he didn't get everything he wanted in one meeting friday with the president. sulu pays the price for that? health care for needy children. training and resources for men and women in uniform. care for veterans who came home and survivor benefits for families of heroes who did not. full funding for the cdc nih and safety inspections of food and medicine. you know, to most americans, those sound like fundamental responsibilities. to the democratic leader, currently they sound like hostage rates for the taking. all of this was totally unnecessary. there is a broad consensus on both sides of the isle that daca another issues relate to illegal immigration require a compromise aleutian. almost everybody here, democrat
