senator from new york, senator chuck schumer. thanks for joining me tonight, senator. >> nice to be with you. >> senator, any progress today in the negotiations on possible budget compromise? >> no, i don't think there was too much progress. the bottom line is the tea party continues to pull at speaker boehner, say don't come to any compromise. their positions continue to be extreme. and we know that hr 1 will not pass the senate and the president would veto it. so their solution just doesn't work, and would lead if they stick with it and if boehner sticks with them, it will lead to a government shut down. >> what is the democratic senate proposal on the budget compromise at this point? >> we propose something very reasonable. we met them halfway. they want 60 billion in cuts below the president's number. we were happy to stick with the freeze at the president's
