a clean daca bill or clean chip bill. chi chip and current bill were expiring on friday. yes, the president sent a million conflicting messages on where he is on daca. that s uncertain. but that doesn t expire until march at the earliest and it is tied up in the courts right now. a that could get senate even further. the stuff that was dying on midnight on friday was chip and continuing resolution to avoid a shut down. and that is what was voted on. sarah, we have been talking about this all show. then there s the idea of trust. how can the democrats say okay, we re not dealing with daca right now, we will push this to march until the deadline but trust republicans will actually debate daca. isn t that what it comes down to is this idea of trust. hey, that s a fair criticism. and there is a lot of conflicting messages.
discussion. so if we go off of what aa just said, which i like,y predictable thing about president trump is the fact that he is unpredictable, then how do democrats come to the table in dealing with the president is completely unpredictable. it is uncredibly difficult to deal with trump. honestly, mitch mcconnell and paul ryan need to do their jobs. just yesterday, someone, democrats asked for unanimous consent to bring a bill forward. to put chip on the floor and to reauthorize chip and mitch mcconnell said no. two days ago, the night of the vote on the cr, again, claire mckass kel asked to put a bill forward and whatever happened that our troops were paid, employee got paid, some thing done in 2013. mix mitch mcconnell said no. they are using this as a political thing here and it is incredibly dangerous. chip expired over 120 days ago.
republicans who own the house and the senate could have reauthorized it then and they chose not to do it. with daca and dreamers. dreamers everyday, hundreds of dreamers are indeed being deported. this is an urgency. close to 800,000 young people trying to figure out what are they going to do with their lives. they are living in anxiety. they are anxious. why would we wait until march? it doesn t make any sense. you know the insane thing, which i think we can all agree on is the fact they are debating and talking about, with both chip and daca, the future of children. lives of children. both those programs affecting children firnd foremost. thank you to you both. coverage of the government shut down continuing with more reaction from the hill. also speaking from nevada senator martin heinrick. then at 7 p okay is kasie hunt
gets done orot monday morning. you think they get this past? shut down is no longer government is no longer sut down and people go back to work? the way i see this, this could have ended weeks ago. could have ended a couple days ago. all they had to do is put, put chip as a stand alone bill. put daca, dreamers, as a stond alone bill. it would have got yeben bipartisan. but the leadership in the house, senate and also the president, this all could be done in and over with if republicans in the house and senate and the president would just do it. like the hopes and being felt by many members of military and a lot more government workers. i do have an issue with the idea that there could have just been
and so with voting yes, senator and i hear you on the c.h.i.p. and 9 million kids but then aren t you complicit on kicking the can down the road another 30 days? c.h. incht p. would be authorized another 60 years. that is a long-term reauthorization. politics is about the art of the possible. the reality is that there s not a final deal that would be available by midnight tonight. there s just not. on the other hand who is to blame for that? we can actually we can talk about who is to blame and who is not. i m a physician. if i know that someone is having a problem, i don t say oh, my gosh, you should have done this, you should have done that. i say what is possible? we can accomplish this. we re going to accomplish it, because it gets us to the next step. that s what we have before us. are we going to reauthorize c.h.i.p. so kids don t start losing insurance monday or sunday even and are we going to
