calls in the last few days mostly to republicans to talk about this, to urge agreement but to reassure them he wasn't going to give away the sword to democrats. he did make a big play today by bringing chuck schumer to the white house. in a small meeting today attended by four people, the president, senator schumer and each of their chief of staffs. certainly no deal struck. and here we are now under a half an hour until we hit january 20th, the one year anniversary of this president's nomination, where he should be over ipmar-a-lago where he should be receiving a glitzy galla to commemorate his one year in office and instead he's overseeing a government shutdown. >> quoted the president as saying in effect this was going to ruin his party. there's more than one meeting to that phrase.
