system. jason: democrats can t define what border security is and it doesn t have any money for the things they say therefore but they really can t articulate. the other thing that affects people in the south who went through this disaster funding, what happens if the republicans had passed out a bill with disaster funding but this bill didn t have any? it didn t. it s amazing to me. this is about show. it s about putting a sharply mega people saying we will tell you what we think you want to hear but we will do something completely different. listen to us but don t want us. there is a disaster going on right now the aid in georgia and florida in many places. we are talking generational issues and farmers down there with trees, pecans and others, they take more than a season to grow back and there s nothing in these spending packages to deal with this disaster relief. if the democrats are serious about this, you will see real action and said of this action we are seeing. jason: i
a solution. there is a number between what is being offered and between what the white house is asking for that i think is achievable. not only that but let s keep in mind it includes disaster funding as well. it s extremely important in my state of georgia and in that whole region where we had hurricane michael. let me ask you this. at some point i ve heard people say that look, if nothing happens, if the democrats put forward this continued resolution i just described, mitch mcconnell says he s not putting it forward if the president is not going to sign it. the president made a deal about what he was going to sign. he changed his mind. that s got to be frustrating to republicans like yourself. well, it s frustrating, but i want to remind you also that i would submit that the reason he s changed his mind is because of what we did in the republican house majority. when we were in majority, we demanded. we said we don t want to accept what the senate has sent. if there was a deal b
are looking towards mitch mcconnell, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell does say that he would not put forth a bill in the senate that the president would not sign. so we re at an impasse. trace? yeah, we were talking about the white house, the democrats and the republicans, no talk going on over there. what about on capitol hill? are both parties talking to each other there? that s an interesting thing. from the republican house standpoint, they did their job. they passed a bill that had the $5.6 billion the president wants in the bordered wall. listen. we sent a bill over to the senate that included disaster funding, including relief for the disasters and also included border wall funding. that would have done it. got over to the senate. now chuck schumer and the senate democrats are the ones that are holding it up. so we did our job in the republican majority in the house. democrats digging in at this point. the democrats in the senate looking to chuck schumer who
if both sides decide to put skin in the game and come to some mutual agreement. i will ask the same question that i asked congressman dan kildee. he seems ridiculous to americans that when you re dealing with trillions of dollars in the budget, the government will shut down over 5 billion! well, look. the house voted to move a bill, to reopen the government. until february 8. security money in and we also, no talk about this, but we also put disaster funding in it. without a lot of people suffering from disasters and hurricanes and fires and what have you so there s about $8 billion in that bill. but you are right, why would we shut the government down over a small amount that is so absolutely necessary, border security. the problem is that with all due respect to my friend, mr. dan kildee, democrats talk a good game but actions do not match the rhetoric. think about this, voted against case law, voted against the criminal alien act, support
year, mr. president, the democratics offered $25 billion for physical barriers in his negotiations to the president. five times, five times what the white house is reasonably requesting right now. and that was just earlier this year. republicans in the house and in the senate believe the house s provision for $5 billion and border funding, plus additional disaster funding was completely reasonable. i was glad to vote to advance to legislation yesterday. my colleagues and i are proud to stand with the american people on this subject for the safety of american families and the health and security of our communities. but this time, this time democrats have rejected that reasonable request. they have refused to meet president trump halfway and provide even one fifth, one
