base, the furlough is a concern. especially when you have two and a half days where it was a shutdown that basically arrived at the same answer that was given or the same solution given last friday. and so the world didn t change other than there was a shutdown and people realized it was a mistake and now we re out tv. do you think the president of the of the united states is a reliable negotiate. i think he got a funding for government and a chance to put ford a daca solution. do you think he and the staff are on the same page. they will disagree with things that we put together, the graham-durbin proposal and they will negotiate for different elements. but that is what we re here to do. we don t say how do we group think but how do we come together with desperate elements of the body to one solution that could work. all right. senator cory gardner. that is our job. we ll see if this comes out as rosie as you skpek. and thank you expect.
say he wants a solution. you mentioned elections to come. you are in charge of the electing aas many republicans to the senate in 2018. did your job get easier over the weekend? when you looking at an issue like this, any time the senate could show the american people, republicans or democrats or independents, that it could function, we will be better off. look at tax bill. i would argue it would show it is not very well. you got into it it the first place. chuck schumer didn t agree with the deal, but we could come together and put something on the floor that will work and whether you are a senator in a red or blue state, having the american people believe you can accomplish something is important. if you are running against claire mccaskill in missouri, what do you say about the actions she took during this debate? think it is a difficult time. if you are at the air force base in moes is a concern. if you are at minot air force
and rachel, we ll let you go. but quick last word, what do you think we ll see as this day progresses, are we going to hear from the white house and this conservative group of senators that are headed over there in a way that will negatively affect this debate? perhaps gloating, i think republicans right now feel like they are sitting pretty. you put a more delicate point on this. but democrats it is pretty clear they have lost this shutdown fight. they went down they went into this saying we re not going to back a government funding bill unless we get a solution for daca and daca is not solved. they are no closer to an agreement right now than they were on friday. they got a promise for a vote that frankly republicans were already going to do, perhaps they are will do it sooner. but the reality is that this hurt democrats, i think they came out looking weak on this. rachel bade with an assessment i m sure cory gardner is glad to here. coming up, the issues at the center of the
bipartisan solution to this. the other take away, there doesn t necessarily seem to be that same mechanism in the house of representatives. including your interview with congressman bacon. those are the story lines i m going to be watching. government coalition. we will be right back from the rotunda. it s proven to help relieve pain and protect joints from further irreversible damage in many adults. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira has been clinically studied for over 20 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common,
appreciate. it first and foremost, a quick update, do we know when the final vote will happen. we don t know. the senator said in a couple of hours but no new news in terms of when the final note will be. explain how we got here today. were you surprised by how this unfolded this morning. there is an old saying, a first rule of holes is you quit kicki quit digging and they figured out a way to quit digging. and this is a deal that was offered on friday night. l let s move away to february 8th and the commitment to go to daca and maybe stronger words were used today but this is the same scenario that was laid out on friday night that was rejected. do you think mitch mcconnell is committed to finding a solution for the daca kids. i think so. and i think all of us are. i haven t heard any of my colleagues, republican or democrat, that said we shouldn t deal with. this every single one may have a different idea of how to address it. how do get there. but i think everybody recog
