D. R. E. A. M. Ers from being deported. Plus is anybody home at the white house . Why was President Trump radio silent as lawmakers hashed out a deal . This is mtp daily and it starts right now. Good evening and welcome to mtp daily. Im katy tur in new york in for chuck todd. It looks like the Government Shutdown is coming to an end. Possibly in this hour, but if the battle is over, the roar is just beginning. The Senate Just Voted to reopen the government after members from both parties reached an agreement on a threeweek government funding deal earlier today. Were expecting a vote in the house soon after. But guys, right now hardliners on both sides are not happy. Especially on the left. Even if moderates on both sides are. The president s leadership is once again being questioned. Despite what the white house is trying to spin. And both parties are still as divided as ever on one of the hardest issues they could face. Immigration. So who blinked first . Democrats wanted a deal on daca. But all they got was a promise for a vote soon on a bill that might be dead on arrival in the house. They said they didnt want to pay for a border wall. But it sounds like they immigration hardliners will get the billions they are asking for. Guys, that is why the Democratic Base is clearly worried they are getting played. This house member told bloomberg that Senate Democrats caved. They blinked. That is what they do. Another said an aide told nbc news, quote, we caved. We lost. We shouldnt try to spin it as a win for immigrants. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and her second in chand steny hoyer say theyll vote no on the bill when it is to their chamber. Plus the white house, which was quick to point the finger at democrats, even while the president was negotiating with schumer, is clearly considering it a win. I am pleased that democrats in congress have come to their senses, democrats realize that the position that they had taken frankly was indefensible. The president and republicans stayed firm and democrats realized that they had to move past that piece of legislation and so that they could focus on the conversation they are desperate to have. But guess who was not at the negotiating table . The art of the deal president. President trump skipped a high price gala at maralargo over the weekend to stay in washington. But other than a few staged photos of him around the west wing, he hasnt been seen. The white house did say that the president lunched with some of the Senate Republican hardliners on immigration today. And a white house official tells nbc news that joe mansion of West Virginia and doug jones of alabama met with the president to discuss immigration this afternoon. That meeting happened after the deal was struck to reopen the government. Today right after democrats and republicans announced a break in the stalemate, Chuck Schumer said he hadnt spoken to the president since their meeting on friday. The reason the republican majority had such difficulty finding consensus is they could never get a firm grip on the what the president of their party wanted to do. The great dealmaking president sat on the side lines. And so far no tweets from the president either. So which side bored the brunt of this shutdown . Did democrats cave . Or was the president s lack of leadership exposed . Lets check with my colleague on capitol hill, garrett haake. Good to see you. What is the latest . Where is this bill going now . Well at some point it will come across the hallway to where im standing outside of the house of representatives chamber. But that door is still locked up tight. So i dont think well have the final resolution of this in this hour. But it does look like it will be resolved tonight. And as to the president staying out of the debate up to this point, we saw him jump back into it today, meeting with that group of hardliner republicans on immigration and then meeting with two much more moderate democrats, joe mansion and the newly elected doug jones of alabama. The president likes to meet with people who he likes on these issues and were seeing that happen here. As to how effective the shutdown was for democrats, it might take us probably until the end of this threeweek continuing resolution to get an answer to that. Democrats learned the limits of being the Minority Party in both chambers and not having the white house. They werent able to force a new piece of legislation out of this, they werent able to force a new position from the white house. Or from the house of representatives. But what they got in the senate and what they are spinning it as is a promise from Mitch Mcconnell to deal with the immigration issue forth rightly and it is interesting to hear the evolution of the language over the course of the day. Really from last night when Mitch Mcconnell on the floor talked about it being his intention to deal with immigration, daca, Border Security and then hearing democrats in the afternoon say they got a promise, a pledge, a commitment from Mitch Mcconnell. They are going to try to hold him to this. And theyre going to use some of the republican allies who came to their aid in that Bipartisan Group that met all weekend like lindsey graham, susan collins, jeff flake to help them try to hold Mitch Mcconnell to this. But in terms of a solution to daca that democrat are going to like, were along way from seeing that. What well see is a robust fight over immigration over the next three weeks. Is anybody listening to the progressive voices out there who are saying that the democrats got hosed in this . That they should not have caved and Mitch Mcconnell and the president are about to get everything they want. Reporter absolutely. There were i think 17 or 18 democrats who did still vote no on this deal. And the list of names are the list of big named progressives, a lot of the folks who get whispered or spoken loudly about as possibly running for president. So you see the folks on the left side of the caucus like cory booker, Kirsten Gillibrand and elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, these are all folks who voted no on the deal for different reasons. Some of them saying they just dont like the idea of another continuing resolution. Some saying look this doesnt address the core problem which is providing protection for the d. R. E. A. M. Ers. But republicans i think were probably not ever going to do this in a legislative way while the government was closed. They didnt want to encourage this kind of behavior from democrats. But again, now well see this open fight on the senate floor and that is where this is going to go down over the next couple of weeks. Garrett haake, appreciate it. Thanks for your time. And joining me Su Democratic senate mazy herona. Hi. Do you think the democrats caved . No. There is some battles worth fighting and fighting for the d. R. E. A. M. Ers and for funding for Childrens Health, for Community Health centers and parody between defense and nondefense spending is a battle worth fighting and the war is not over. And so come february 8th we all herd Mitch Mcconnell say were going to deal with debates but during the battle i want to make sure that we keep daca protections front and center. Correct me if im wrong, you rote voet voted against the c. R. That is right. And if they didnt cave, why did you vote for it. I dont view it as caving. Because the battle is not over. I voted against this c. R. Because ive been consistent in my position that i would vote against any c. R. That did not address daca, that didnt fund Childrens Health, Community Health center and did not provi provide parity. And at the same time well hold mitch to his promise and i think he will hold to it because he has a significant number of people in his own caucus, i think dont he gives much concern to our caucus, the moderates, but i think he is concerned about the moderates in his caucus who went to him and said lets get on with it. Lets let the senate act the senate and i hope what theyre saying is we shouldnt wait around fror the for the president to tell us what to do because he cant make up his mind about anything and i would prefer that the president stay out of it and let the senate be the senate. We should get on it and have the battle over daca and Immigration Reform which i support and we shall see what side people are on. The democrats have gotten out of this deal to stop the Government Shutdown. There is no daca deal on the table. There is only a promise from Mitch Mcconnell. There is no similar or any promise whatsoever from paul ryan in the house to take up any sort of bill to talk about immigration. You have Senate Schumer giving donald trump a commitment to fund the wall. That is a pretty major concession. And now the Democratic Caucus is divided in a way that it was not just a week ago. I dont think our caucus is divided in in that we want to get to protecting the d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Were not divided on that. The battle is not over. And sometimes you have to change your tactics. I can live with that even as i voted against this continuing resolution. For the reasons that i articulated. But i am very much looking forward, shall we say, to what will probably be a defining debate over Immigration Reform in our country and whether or not all of these republicans who keep saying, including the president , who keep saying we want to protect the daca participants, lets see what their actions really will be. You almost interrupted me when i was talking about senator schumer giving the money for the wall to the president. Is that has that changed . Oh, of course. The wall is no longer something that Chuck Schumer was willing to put the wall on the table. If we got a full daca and full d. R. E. A. M. Ers and that is not happening. So that is off the table. What if you what if there is an offer for daca before you it has to go back on the table. Is the wall funding back on the table at some point. I think well have a fullthroated debate on daca and possibly on a lot of other as pecks of comprehensive Immigration Reform. And i know where im coming from, that we need to keep our focus on the urgency of taking care of the daca d. R. E. A. M. Ers and also comprehensive Immigration Reform that maintains family unity as a guiding principle, because that is what our country was founded on. And i speak from personal experience as an immigrant myself. But do you think that if the negotiation continues again, and daca is offered. That there should be funding for the wall included. Is that a fair tradeoff. I think there are a lot of republicans who dont think that spending 18 billion plus on a wall is quite the way to go. And so well see. I hope that calmer heads will prevail. I realize that if the president keeps talking about wanting a wall and then he talks about maybe it wont be continuous, et cetera, then we we shall see. But im very focused on protecting d. R. E. A. M. Ers and giving them a path to citizenship. I think that is first and foremost what im going to be looking for as we negotiate come february 8th. Well there is three weeks until february 8th. A lot of negotiating yet to happen. This is an issue that has torn apart congress now for many years. It is one of the ones you most vehemently disagree with each other on. Why or just say if you are not able to come to an agreement on february 8th, is there a consideration to shut down the government again . Well, i am hopeful that there is a group of moderates it is not all the hardline immigration people such as tom cotton who represent the entire republican side. Im hopeful that the moderates will say, look, lets go forward and we actually passed comprehensive Immigration Reform in a bipartisan way in 2013. And i was very involved in that effort. So lets hope the senate acts like the senate and not wait around for the president to provide the guidance that does not come. And the senate could act like the senate but is there concern about the house. First things first. Ill accept the Senate Acting like the senate first off and then we need to convince our colleagues in the house that they should move forward in a humane, just way with regard to daca and come p comprehensive Immigration Reform. But is it any sense in making a deal when we dont have a promise from paul ryan. If you are not setting the agenda, you have to fight the battle worth fighting and this is a battle worth fighting because which side are you on. So that is going to come to the fore, and i understand the disappointment of the d. R. E. A. M. Ers, but were not done yet. And they need to keep advocating and clearly they need to go visit everybody in the house to make sure that we get the support that we need in the house for what i hope will emerge from the senate in a bipartisan way come february 8th. So one last time. Will you shut down the government again if there is no deal on daca. Lets hope we dont go down the same path and with the same result. But there is a possibility that it is not going to happen by february 8th. All of the signs seem to point to that considering what weve seen in the past in terms of immigration debates. The government is about to reopen and it was already shut down for a few days. Will you consider shutting it down on february 8th if there is no deal for daca. I think that once daca sadly is off the table in terms of a complete package, then well move forward with what i hope is a longer term appropriations so that our government can run for longer than three weeks or one month at a time. And that there will be consensus around funding Childrens Health as well as Community Health centers and i think those discussions will bear fruit. At the same time, it is very clear that the republicans did not want to deal with daca and immigration and in any kind of a full way and therefore we are where we are. But were going to do our best. Im certainly going to do my very best to go forward and so what im saying, katy, is the same factors that led to a Government Shutdown will probably not be there this time around and therefore were all going to move forward and fight the battles that we need to fight. We will see. Senate hirona. Thank you for your time. Thank you. And lets hear from the other side. Joining me is Virginia Republican congressman tom garrett. Thank you very much for being here. We appreciate your time, sir. Katy, thanks for the opportunity. What is going on with the president . Is he leading on this . Has he been involved in the negotiations to reopen the government . Oh, i think so. I mean, there is an argument that hes just surrendered to the flow but i dont think that happened at all. Now at some point you have to understand that this that we have to get out of this maze that was created by the senate and by senator churchs histrionic fit that demanded a shutdown. So if there is a Silver Lining it is that the United States public got a civics lesson on what a filibuster is and how a minority could stop everything if they want to. Could you make the argument that the president was just taking care of his own shoes and not taking care of shoes of the Republican Party when he disappeared over the weekend and didnt offer any leadership and didnt say what he wanted out of this immigration debate, didnt say what his demands were for the counterterrori to the c. Make a call to a democrat. You could say that in a hazy world, we dont know what is going on behind the scenes as it related to the president s contact with leadership in the senate. I think again, look, this is not you can say it is a schumer shutdown or a trump shutdown, i think when you announce the shutdown is going to end before the votes been held and you admitted it was your shutdown which senator schumer did, and i think he was afraid that they have the reigns and if they dont do something we will and that is your Nuclear Option so i think the president was considering those thing. And you have to admit there is a rift when it comes to immigration and you got a promise to take this up on the senate floor but no promise made by paul ryan. Should there be a promise to take up the issue of dreamers and to debate immigration. Well i think you got to go there. I mean, but honestly with hyperbole intended, for senator shum tore declare a victory because the senate will act on daca it is saying we won because they promised a week from now it is monday again. What we know is that there is a desire on both sides of the aisle to address the real in the question of 800,000 young people. To address daca and having said that, there is hyperbolic headlines that say in the l. A. Times, deportation surges under trump and if you read the story, they pointed out the 4people deported were found guilty of criminal offenses or gang activity. I want to help people brought here at two or three but not people engaging in criminal activity. And the other thing is i think we were asked to prioritize the people ahead of 9 million children as it related to c. H. I. P. In my state 60,000 kids and mothers and the Arms Services and the longterm answer to daca is a secure southern border so we can control immigration which i support, so long as were bringing people in that will help this country like [ inaudible ]. Im not so sure why you cant have a clean daca vote. If you are a d. R. E. A. M. Er and broken the law, you are no longer protected under the rules. Right, exactly. So but you are saying it is coming before c. H. I. P. And before funding the military but it doesnt have. To you could do all of these things at at same time. And thank you for being candid and even candid in your reporting but the deadline for c. H. I. P. Has pasted, the deadline to support our troops is past and the deadline in daca it in march. And we do it like a High School Kid does a term paper pushed to the last minute. But really and truly, the clock has run out on c. H. I. P. The clock has run out on a budget. We have until march to do something on daca. If senator schumer were to have done the same thing in march, i would have a little bit more sympathy because that is the date that the president said. So, yes, but there is discussion. I want to secure that southern border and then address the reality of young people brought here as children. We did this in the 80s and the this and then that and it didnt work and which is why we find ourselves here again. Lets do it different this time. And lets talk about the immigration ad released by the campaign for the president. Take a look at it. Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants. President trump will fix our border and keep our families safe. The white house is bouncing around the room in terms of who is responsible for this ad. You have mark short talking to chuck todd saying this wasnt a white house ad even though it was paid for by donald j. Trump. Do you agree it is a good idea to say that the democrats will be complicit if there is more crimes being committed by an undocumented immigrant or illegal immigrant. No, katy. Look, i support the bulk of what this president has done. But i am frustrated as coy be with the message as coy be with the messaging. We need to tone down the rhetoric. And we need to have them saying well fight them in the street and the sitting Vice President saying they will put you back in chains and if im willing to criticize former Vice President , i could criticize the president if he is responsible for that. Lets tone it down. There are people who i dont agree with who dont agree with me who i get along very well with. That is what america is supposed to be. So if he is responsible for that, i think you ought to change the tone of the rhetoric and it may win in the shortterm, but it is bad for america in the longterm. With all due respect, congressman, how in the world will you tone down the rhetoric when the president himself is no fan of toning anything down. Well, look, ultimately in life there are things we control and those things that we dont control and the things that we can influence and by saying on your program that id like to see a change in the messaging, it is only continuing to message that id like to see a change in the messaging. But we do need to secure our border. Look, there are wonderful people who came here as immigrants for sure. But that doesnt mean some bad people didnt come here illegally too and so we should work toward a reasonable solution without sort of casting our idealogical opponents an evil that threatens all of humanity. That is not who we are in a nation. And youve been even handed in this report and im pretty partisan but i dont need to be mean. Congressman, it is great tangling with you and bouncing around the room, if you let me use that again. Appreciate your time. Outstanding, katie, thanks for the opportunity. And much more on the breaking news. The house prepares to vote to end the Government Shutdown right after the break. Jen, ive got questions. Boots or flipflops . Boot great. Smokey or natural eye . Ugh, natural. Good choice. How about calling or texting . Definitely calling. Puppies or kitties . Sorry, cats. Dry eyes or artificial tears . Wait, thats a trick question. Because they can both get in your way. Thats why it is superimportant to chat with your eye doctor if youre using artificial tears a lot and your eyes still feel dry. Next question. Guys, its time for some eyelove im the one clocking in when youre clocking out. Sensing and automatically adjusting to your every move. Does your bed do that . Im the new sleep number 360 smart bed. Lets meet at a sleep number store. Discover card. I justis this for real . Match, yep. We match all the cash back new cardmembers earn at the end of their first year, automatically. Whoo i got my money hard to contain yourself, isnt it . Uh huh let it go whoo get a dollarfordollar match at the end of your first year. Only from discover. Mark your calendars, the u. S. Government will be funded until february 8th in the latest deal but could lawmakers reach a deal beyond. That well break it down in Tonights Panel in just 60 seconds. Theres a vacation at the end of every week with hilton. Whatever type of weekender you are, dont let another weekend pass you by. Get the lowest price when you book at hilton. Com welcome back to mtp daily. Lets bring in our panel. Former Campaign Adviser and progressive programming for sirius xm, [ inaudible ]. And i get an email in my box from the white house or the rnc that matches the email from progressive groups, from move on. Org or think progress. Look at this. Daily caller, dems crave, breitbart surrender, democrats get nothing. Move on. Org. And terrible deal. And senates democrats crave. Provide votes based on mccobbles empty promise. That is harsh when the two groups agree. The Democratic Base doesnt trust Mitch Mcconnell and why would they. I just have to throw out the name merit garland for democrats to remember that Mitch Mcconnell is not someone who should be trusted on making future promises to do something. And so i think that in this particular case democrats had the leverage and they did cave. But i think that democrats who are upset with the decision today should spend the next week organizing to be sure on february 8th they have the momentum behind the elected democrats in terms of the support of activists and supporters so that democrats dont cave. But isnt the reality of the shutdown was not going to remain popular and the democrats were very clearly worried about how it would affect not only their chances in 2018 but especially the senates who were coming from red states. Exactly. There is a lot of chaos and a lot of unprecedented things that happened in this administration. But there is a political reality that remains. Which is you need 60 votes to proceed with any legislation. Republicans have 51. So they they are in control of congress but not complete control of the senate. And they were able to put kind of a wedge between the democrats two wanted to stick on the ground and shut the government down, to fund daca if it meant shutting the government down and the others that you just mentioned who are going to be in the States Running for for reelection in states that trump won trying to make the case to their voters, im a deal maker too and i could work with republicans in Congress Just as well as democrats. So they were put in a big position here. I think the Democratic Party is going through something now which is they have a very rustive, active base that they want to mobilize in the elections. They also know that that base isnt necessarily going to support the realities at hand which is that you have limited leverage when you are in the minority. Progressives are up in arms already, many of them, how do you convince progressives, is there a way to convince progressives they should trust moip when he said he will do something. I dont know if you could trust Mitch Mcconnell, but you could look at the results of the shutdown and say, boy, did this not work out the way we thought it would work out. That reminds me a lot of 2013. Where you had a simpatico mind meld between the activist class on the right, a very rekalsity rant and they come together and say this it wont work out. And i would be surprised to see whether or not this sort of dynamic disappears. Were entering into an election year. There is an obviously a lot of auditions going on for those vying for the presidency in 2020. They have every incentive to climb up the pole and not back down and get the Democratic Caucus into a culdesac because it advanced their pros pecks. It did well for republicans who did the same pursued the same strategy in 2013. Lets be real. Very little sticks from daytoday, let alone week to week orri or even month to month. We have months to go before anybody casts a ballot and until three weeks before this is debated again and if daca is not settled, democrats are going to be able to use that as a campaign wedge issue. Absolutely. And latinos are a very big voting block. And the congressman earlier said, were not in a rush because the deadline is not until march. Well i have to tell them something. 120 people are losing their daca status every single day since september. And so people who are in school and enrolled in school dont know if they are able to sign up for the next semester and they are paying tuition and taxes. This is a real human problem. And i think were for getting in a when we talk only about the political calculation which is part of the conversation as it always is. But i think we cant forget there is real human cost to delaying voting on a clean daca. No. There is also the bigger question of what in the world this president would support. Whether he wants any sort of deal on daca or if he is more likely to support the hardline issues that his white house might come up with. Well talk about that in a little bit and where in the world donald trump was this weekend. Hes taking photos he was taking photos with the white hat. Stay with us. Ahead, does a bipartisan deal on immigration really have a chance . And do we even know, again, what the president wants . Friends, colleagues, gathered here are the worlds finest insurance experts. Rodney mastermind of discounts like safe driver, paperless. The list goes on. How about a discount for long lists . Gold. Mara, you save our customers hundreds for switching almost effortlessly. Its a gift. And jamie. Present. Together we are unstoppable. So, what are we gonna do . Insurance. Thats kind of what we do here. Welcome back. Were still following the latest developments on capitol hill. And on a day that tartstarted w the federal government closed and the house has come to a vote now. Lets bring in republican congressman charlie departmennt. Thank you for being here. So should the republicans demand that paul ryan do what Mitch Mcconnell did, which was promise that there would be a debate on immigration, debate on daca . Well there will have to be. It is wonderful that this pointless shutdown ended. There was no reason for this. To get off the treadmill of this we wont get an agreement until there is a resolution on the daca Border Security issue. So at the end of the day the senate will have to pass a bipartisan daca bill with over 60 votes an this will come to the house and they will have to take it up or something similar to it. Even if that means a majority of the majority of house of republicans may not vote for. It well have to take it up. I would recommend to the leadership, which i already have, that we maybe adopt a queen of the hill strategy. Whichever bill gets the most votes is the one that passes. And that would be a bipartisan bill. So waive the hastert rule and bring it to the floor and even if a majority of the majority doesnt support it. Correct. And there is no such thing as the has ert rule. It is a guideline. And we talk about the rule and insist on the implementation until we dont. And ive been hart of many house majorities that pass bills on budget agreements, omnibus, debt ceiling, Hurricane Relief where we did not have a majority of the majority. So this is nothing new. So we have to take this on and deal with it once and for all sooner rather than later. Give me a sense of what paul ryan wants to do. The republican conference in the house is pretty divided on immigration. You have hardliners and in the Freedom Caucus who dont want to see any sort of deal on immigration that allows anybody to stay here. How do you get the republicans on the same page enough to have an honest conversation and honest debate to lead to a resolution for 800,000 people brought here because their parents came over without their choice and are now awaiting someone to decide on what will happen to them in the future. Well, katy, first we have to move beyond this idea that there will be a republican only daca bill getting passed the house with 218 republican votes. That isnt going to happen. Even if it did, it will not pass the senate. So to what end, so we have to move off of that position at some point and get serious about the negotiation. We have at least three or four bills. There is the herd and aguilar and the graham and durbin an the problem solvers proposal. Any one of the proposals are completely acceptable and would secure at least 218 votes, probably closer to 300 votes on house floor. So the pressure certainly will be on our house leadership, and Republican Leadership to take up a bill. I dont see how we can resist how the house Republican Leadership could resist a strong daca bill with a big bipartisan vote if the senate. The senate might go their on way on this and not worry about what the president wan wants or does not want but how much does the house need a guiding hand from donald trump . Well certainly if the president endorsed this proposal, that would help matters considerably. And drive up the vote tally. But we should take this up regardless of where the president is. Were not sure where the president is and i say lets send them a bill and they could decide. From the political standpoint, it is more important from the house leadership to protect vulnerable members in swing districts who need the vote for a responsible humane daca proposal. Im less concerned about protecting the president s political sensitives, im concerned about the republicans in marginal seats like kaufman in colorado and members in california and florida, carlos cab ello and others who believe in this issue and frankly they need to do the vote the right thing to do and would help them politically. Im more concerned about them than the president. You say you dont know where the president stands on this issue, the white house has been asked this over and over again, where does he stand on the issue and what about the republicans who say they dont know, you are one of them. Mitch mcconnell is another. The white house said that there are four principles that the president has demanded all along. There is ending chain migration and the visa lottery program, funding for the border wall and that will enable him to say yes to Something Like daca. Is that what the white house wants or do you see some ax b some ambiguitity there. The principles are fine but at the end of the day we vote on legislation and not principles. But were talking about operational control of the border and Border Security. And again as republicans an democrats will acknowledge the problems with the visa lottery and the family migration so those four principles are fine, but again it comes down to legislation. There will be bills on floor of the senate and hopefully the house and that is what we need to hear from the white house on. What specific legislation are they willing to support. We can talk principles until we are blue in the face but we dont vote on the principles. There are a lot of folks in the Republican Party in the house who are not going to move forward with this unless they get urged by the president. There are folks that have no desire to do this. So how do you, a moderate and to your fellow moderates in the house, democrats and republicans, find a way to force the issue if a majority doesnt have the appetite for it and paul ryan is getting pressure from some someone someone in the Freedom Caucus. There will be a number of us who represent the swing and marginal districts who will insist we take this up. We wont be able to escape this debate and the way out and i suggested it again to leadership [ inaudible ]. Hold on. Put it all out there. But hold on. Why is that not true up until now. Why would that be true in the next three weeks an not true for the last three months . Well, because we have a deadline of march 5th. You had also had a deadline on friday and that didnt work. Well, the shutdown was pointless. It was absurd. We all all understand that. The point is that we well, look, this agreement that Mitch Mcconnell has struck with senator schumer, we should honor it and i think our leadership will be under pressure to act from the American Public and from House Republican members who do want to vote for this responsible, humane daca d. R. E. A. M. Er bill. We want to do this and im prepared and we have to marginalize those on the hard right who arent prepared to vote for anything. Lets face it. Some of the members wont vote for a bill no matter what is in it. And we have to we have to we just have to blank out that noise. This is the democrats have to they have to just put aside the noise they are getting from their base right now and because they are going to be called surrendered and capitulators. And deal with it and put the noise out and the center will have to drive this debate because we may lose some on the left and the far right. Congressman, always good to have you.

Lets talk about where the president has been. Art of the deal, deal maker, donald trump can make deals that no one else can make, sitting in the white house all weekend and not making any deals. Yeah, it depends on who you talk to, he disappeared. But that may have been the key to move some blocks around capitol hill. The key is to keep the president out of negotiations . Im not sure whether youre negotiating directly with him or whether the key players are miller. When he gets involved he seems to muddy the waters more than clarify. Are you saying the president is not a good negotiator . Im saying hes not the last word no tin the administra. Where does donald trump stand on this issue, though, and thats a debate that a lot of folks are having, democrats are having it, republicans are having it, im having a hard time believing that donald trump is a moderate who wants to come out and make a deal for d. R. E. A. M. Ers. This is a man who ran for office saying mexico was sending rapists over the border. He campaigned on building a wall. And those were the loudest roars he got from the crowd, building a wall and putting Hillary Clinton in prison. Heres the thing. He loves the roar of the crowd. Who is to say that this is Steven Miller or john kelly or the hardliners in his administration convincing him of this. Maybe thats just where he stands. I thought that the ad that you played earlier in the show, it reminds me of the ads we saw early in the campaign. And the bipartisan trump, ill sign anything, i want to build a wall with love. You have a situation where republicans are thinking, we control all of congress here, why shouldnt we push this president , who campaigned on hardline immigration policies to put forth a hardline immigration proposal. The fact that we got through this government funding issue today only to revisit this later, immigration is something that has bedeviled this congress for a long time. Remember, we had bipartisan support for a comprehensive immigration bill that didnt even make it to the house. They didnt even take it up. And when you have a president like trump, and you dont know where hes going to be and if hes going to support you, are you going to go out on a limb and support Something Like this. Just for our viewers, the house is voting now on the end to the Government Shutdown. Thats what youre seeing on the other half of your screen. How do you make sense of President Trump sitting in a bipartisan meeting a couple weeks from now, looking at Dianne Feinstein saying yes, we can do a clean bill on d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Thats what happens when the president doesnt understand policy. Do you think hes listening . Is he listening to the conversation being had . No, i just think he disagrees with hover whoever is speaking hech him, and he doesnt understand the nuance of the policy. He wants to be liked by the people hes dealing with. It was a response to Michael Wolffs book that he is unfit, that was them saying the president is engaged. He can lead a meeting. But what it really demonstrated is that he doesnt know anything about the policy hes talking about. And when you dont understand the details of the policy, its a weak negotiating position, thats why you saw him agree to two deals and john kelly had to say wait, wait, wait, thats not what we agreed. You dont want a president thats completely irrelevant in the negotiating province. Charlie dent a moment ago, they were saying that theyve got to find a way to ignore the fringes, ignore the hardliners on both sides, ignore a good portion of the Republican Party who has no desire to make any sort of deal on immigration. What does that say . Well, particularly when it comes to daca, and daca is not d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Theyre two different populations. D. R. E. A. M. Ers are much bigger, dacasa smaller. Th most people, including the majority of republicans and trump voters want to see a pathway to at least legal status for these daca recipients. They dont want to see them back in the shadows. Even the department of Homeland Security is saying we dont want to deport these people. When it comes to the broader illegal immigration population, theres no appetite for that. But is there an appetite to bring it up in the house if the president s not on board with it . Or does that give enough cover to paul ryan . The president will be on board with it, if its popular. I think thats what weave he v come to terms on. I am not so sure about that. Its part of the reason nevertrump republicans were saying, look, this guys playing you for a fool. We want you to be citizens but he went to c pac. This is a man who started off by running and saying we need to build a wall and keep mexicans out. Thats essentially what he was saying, theyre bringing rapists over the border. Im completely out of time. They are yelling at me in my ear. Thank you guys very much for being here. Well be right back. Thats all for tonight, chuck will be back tomorrow with more mtp daily. Everyones doing these handoffs about football today, and i dont like football, so im just going to smile and nod politely until we have baseball back on the tv. I prefer baseball as well, but im not a big sports person to again with. I do like the story about the philly cops racing the poles. It is 6 00 p. M. In washington, and you are looking at it. The federal government is winding down the first day of this 2018 shutdown, and it may be the last day of the shutdown. What you see now is the houseworking to mahouse, working to make it official, to end the shutdown. And thats thank to a
