actually really undermining the republican strategy going forward to try to get this short-term spending bill through? chip was put into this spending plan to entice many democrats, and some republicans to get on board. get on board with the short-term plan and put some of those demands off until later. it was seen as a bargaining chip in these talks, so this certainly serves as an 11th hour monkey wrench that rubca really did not need right now. up until this morning, you had republican leaders pushing towards potentially a holding a vote later today on this spending bill. they did not have the votes yet, but it was seen as throughout the day they might be able to twist some arms, get members of the reluctant house freedom caucus on board and they thought they had the republican buy-in and the white house buy-in to this republican plan. clearly with the president s tweet, there is not a lot of clarity where this goes next. we certainly do not know. we will hear from speaker of the hou
unapologetic for fighting for what we see as california values. reporter: working from her pedal disk, one foot soldier, countering, resisting trump. miguel marquez, cnn, in the california republic. thanks to miguel for that report. be sure to watch the special report, the president s first year in office, reign of chaos it is titled. jake tapper brings us that. tomorrow night 10:00 p.m. eastern here on cnn. a record number of flu deaths in one california county. as of last week, 142 people have died from the flu in san diego county alone, that cpares to peop in that county died from the flu. officials say it is the deadliest flu season in decades. father of two germ carriers, i can tell you this is a serious concern in schools. it is a really big deal. if you haven t gotten your flu shot, do so, though doesn t
30-day or short-term extension. poppy who has parsed the language correctly informs me it is hard to read this as the president doing anything other than coming out and saying this shouldn t be part of a temporary fix. this should be part of a bigger fix here. what is paul ryan s thought bubble on this now, saying, you know, he s trying to get something passed here and the president came out against it? well, after the white house issued a statement yesterday saying that they would be in favor of the funding for c.h.i.p. and this is quite difficult. as we all know, the republican caucus is not unified on this. the republican caucus has many different factions in it, freedomaucus factions that are not in favor of funding c.h.i.p. atll. by hearing the white house say the white house was in favor of it yesterday helped paul ryan get his caucus together. if paul ryan can t prevent a government shutdown, this politics of republican shutdown politics 101 is that republicans get blame
including mexico paying for it, which i don t think anyone is going to happen despite what the president tweeted this morning. he looks at this as a promise that he absolutely politically has to keep and anything that erodes that, he s going to hit back hard on. simone, to you, lindsey graham,ho has known to golf one or two or three orr times with the president and criticize the president and also being effusive in his praise for the president, here is what he just told the washington post, as he walked into the u.s. capitol this morning and the president blew things up potentially with this tweet about c.h.i.p. lindsey graham said we don t have a reliable partner at the white house to negotiate with. you know, that that s how he sees it. that s how a republican who is very important in the immigration negotiations sees it this morning. yeah, you know, i think so the white house has a really important role to play here, but
congress also has to remember that they re a co-equal branch of government. you hear lindsey graham saying there in those comments is, look, we, in congress, could probably come to a, you know, a great consensus. there has been folks that have signed on to the graham/durbin bill, folks negotiated this good faith bill in the senate and democrats and republicans, i believe, in the house want to and can come to a consensus. the only person here that the only entity that has not been able to in good faith come to the table is the white house. if the governent were to shut down, it would absolutely be at the hands and the fault of the white house, not democrats in congress as the republicans would like for you to think. all right, margaret hoover, paul ryan, house leadership put together this cr, this temporary funding bill, that includes a long-term extension for the children s health insurance program. correct? the president this morning goes on twitter and says this, seems to indicat
