Not one inch on the serious bipartisan negotiations that will take to solve issues such as immigration and Border Security, healthcare, defense spending, and many other matters , so im glad we can finally get back to work here. Admit that political gainsman ship the past three days have highlighted many of my colleagues commitment to honest and bipartisan work. Id like to particularly thank senator graham, senator collins, senator flake and several democratics who worked tireless ly to bring this impasse to a conclusion. Soon federal operations will be getting back to normal for the American People. We all know what comes next, the challenging negotiations on a host of serious issues. The weeks ahead will require the best for all of us. I hope we can remember some lessons from this regrettable incident. Hostagetaking do not work and they make bipartisan progress harder, not easier to achievement senators must focus on the common good of the American People, not the warped priorities, t
Resolution where it takes to us the february 8th. It then goes to the house. Kevin mccarthy said it could pass, three week extension sent by Mitch Mcconnell. It can be taking place by four or 5 00 p. M. It can be sent later to the president for his signature. Here is what Mitch Mcconnell what the shutdown teaches all of us. I think if we learned anything during this process is that a strategy to shut down the government over government over issue of illegal immigration. Something the American People did not understand and would not have understood in the future. Reporter trish, there were democrats, as well as a few republicans, a few democrats voted against ending the filibuster. They wanted greater guarranties from Mitch Mcconnell on a vote about Immigration Reform, but about daca, those students, roughly 800,000 brought here illegally, those illegal aliens who need protection. Here is what dick durbin said about the deal that was struck with Mitch Mcconnell. Were going to change thi
Dealing getting to us this point. Democrats passing the measure to get legislation to help the socalled dreamers. The house will vote after the senate sometime this evening. We have you covered from both sides of capitol hill. Joining us from the house, congresswoman Martha Mcsally from arizona. Lets go to montana senator steve daines. Thanks for coming in. Clear senator schumer and democrats are painting this as some kind of a win or draw the a any rate this bill was very different from the last bill s there any truth to that . Ill tell you what, if you want to talk about winners and losers, the losers were the American People. This is ridiculous. It was a pointless exercise to shut the government down. The losers were the American People. I would argue the schumer shutdown it didnt work. Chuck schumer lost that. David by the way Mick Mulvaney coined term or came out with it first. It seemed to stick, didnt it . It has nice alliteration but you know what . It is the truth. An old sayi
The last ten minutes or so lets go to the fox news capitol hill senior producer chad pergram with the latest. What are we looking at . I talked to senator jeff flake who indicated they might get to the 60 votes. This is all the math. They need to get this 60 votes. This is vote not to reopen the government. If they get 60 votes the government will reopen. This will be a test vote, signal, indicating later today that the senate will vote on threeweek interim spending bill to open the government through february 8th. It will have to go to the house of representatives, what the house of representatives approved last week is different from this bill. More significant from senator flake is saying, we learned democratic senator from florida bill nelson indicated he is a yes. Let me go through the math here. They need 60 yeas. Senators flake and graham, they are now yeas. There were several republican nos the other night. So that gets you up into the low 50s. Mitch mcconnell had to vote no fo
Sort of analogous to portfolio insurance in 87. Stuart not like you to engage me in conversations in the first minutes of your show but i will tell you neil im kidding. Im kidding. There is always sort of a monday morning quarterback that comes back to look at weird things prior. You and i can remember the whole portfolio insurance thing of 87. Just me, just me alone, all these Creative Products that are meant to sort of cushion the blow of just Market Forces end up creating the crisis to begin with . Stuart all i will say is, neil, dont ever come on my show with that stuff, you will get the buzzer throughout. That is a fact. I should have taken your question seriously. I got a car waiting for me right outside. It is warming up. Neil lizzie would appreciate my curiosity on this. Liz yes i do. Neil talking to the wrong person amounts soon as the papers were cleared, thats it. Thank you, my friend. I think stuart is absolutely right to say im obsessing about something so arcane. We didnt
