laid out yesterday? you know, i m going to say several things. one, he didn t say a word about any of the workers that have been furloughed, about getting the government open again, and i m just meeting with so many workers who are desperate. they re about to have a second, next friday they ll miss their second paycheck. he s got to reopen the government. i m sorry, maria. maria: no the problem. have some water, if you can. i know the feeling, i ve had a cough for the last couple of days. congresswoman, let me ask you, you said he didn t mention workers. isn t that the whole pointer of this proposal, to open the government and get his border security money for the wall, because this proposal that that the president put on the table yesterday extends the temporary protective services for daca recipients, helps dak daca recipients, funds humanitarian aid for migrants and, of course, in all of this ends the government shutdown. that was the point of it, congresswoman.
tweets and i think we re this close to getting an unflattering nickname for nancy pelosi from the president. thank you very much from capitol hill. i m not going to ask you guys to comment on the twitter nicknames that the president has but i want to play what democratic senator kirsten gillibrand said this morning. here s that. we put a deal on the table a year ago to say we will give you the border security money that you want, we will let you start doing the things you want to do but you must protect all the dreamers. that was something we were willing to talk about. that is still there for him. is it still there, jeff? i mean, is this something that the president could potentially get behind even though he shut it down last year? is it a legitimate possibility? i think you also have to ask the question is the senator speaking for all democrats there? she s just announced that she s potentially running for president or looking at that very seriously, but you know, the democrat
billion. it s extortion. temporarily. right. it s extortion. we re not going to do it. it s a silly offer. he was never serious. it s typical trump bs. i want to play what kirsten gillibrand said this morning. we said we will give you the border security money that you want, we will let you start doing the things that you want to do but you must protect all the dreamers. that was something we were willing to talk about. that is still there for him. the fact that he s saying three years just for daca just shows that he s not serious and he doesn t actually care about moving the country forward. wait, susan, if that is truly still there for the president when they agreed to give him $25 billion, do you think that could be a viable path forward? is it still there? the president rejected that offer. that was the problem. he agreed to it and then at the last minute he pulled the plug much like he did at the end of last year in december which has
border security money as well as now throwing out there potential protections for daca recipients. extending their temporary status. i want to bring back my panel. do you see this ending the government shutdown? absolutely not. democrats knew what the proposal was going to be, it s really a nonstarter, the president did a couple things there that i thought was very inflammatory. one, continuing to call it a humanitarian crisis, there s certainly some problems on the border, but how he portrays it as a crisis is meant to instill fear in americans across the country. he also said they built the border, if this border wall went up, some are saying our crime in the united states can be cut by 50%. come on, that s outrageous, that he would say that, and it s more outrageous that anyone would believe him in saying that. in fact, when he started out
right before they were about to leave. but it is all personal with this president. it s mostly personal. or at least it s about, look, this the last 48 hours has taken this away from being about how do we get the government reopened and how do we get to a deal, either from the president s perspective on a wall and from the democrats perspective on doing something that they would reopening the government or then getting something in exchange for that. some kind of border security money. and i want is now just become a personality tit for tat. and you re right. that s donald trump s comfort zone. the problem is nancy pelosi has generally had the upper hand because the president does personally like her, and he has been sort of confounded on how to deal with her. and i think when you get into the just throwing mud portion of our program, he s generally going to win that. so i just i m not sure where we go from here. there is also 800,000 people that s what i mean. we ve g
