Ago, we heard from a couple of white house officials, including Mick Mulvaney, the director of the office of management and budget. He was preemptively shoveling blame for this shutdown that hasnt happened yet onto democrats saying they havent been specific about just what they want. We know they want a deal to enshrine daca protections into law. But he said beyond that, no real legislative text. Take a look. The bill simply is not ready. You dont get to vote on a summary. There have been months of work on it as you see with any major legislation. It doesnt and shouldnt come together overnight. Theres no daca bill to vote on. And theres no emergency in terms of the timing on daca. Daca does not expire until march 5th. So there is absolutely no reason to tie these two things together right now. On that specific point you heard Mick Mulvaney say theres no emergency. Thats one of the details on which democrats disagree. They have guidance from three former dhs chiefs who say the deadline
$1 million in loan and mortgage applications. delayed more than 850 fda inspections and fda approval of medical products, devices and drugs. and delayed more than 4 billion in tax refunds as well as the start of the new tax season. this time, however, they promise the national parks would be open. staff remains an open question. joining me is jake scherman, hugh hewitt and we were talking about the blame game taking place over the last 24 hours. walk us through the calculus that democrats in particular face as all of this proceeds. i want to say at the top that it looks like if schumer is going to the white house with the president, which he is, and we all know that at this point, i would imagine there is something in the offing. something that schumer has to offer or that trump and schumer spoke about beforehand and that this is going to bring us closer
