days to negotiate means another five day and another five day. we put our name one month fees to say let s finish the negotiations, get time to write the bill and get it done come and not try to do this continual shutdown clips. shannon: sounds like that s where we are headed. it does. one of these moments where it s very odd to be able to walk through. this is about, as the leader mentioned comments about illegal immigration, it s about daca and trying to get to this negotiation. i ve been a part of that group tried to be able to negotiate this. thom tillis and i were in the group doing the negotiations with dick durbin until we were kicked out of that group because we wanted to deal with border security. they only wanted to deal with daca and we said no, we need order security and daca at the same time. they basically said you are not invited anymore. we only want to deal with daca in this group. that s been a frustrating thing all along, since october. the white house put out th
thank you very much for your report. what is happening right now? senior capitol hill producer chad pergram has the latest including some heated words on the senate floor. you have been tracking this all day. people were pretty surprised when the senate got this bill that senators didn t rip the band-aid off or they didn t try to address this right away. what happened was the politics. the politics has been raging through this, and the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, he sort of changed the language just a little bit. we ve been hearing about daca and democrats wanted to attach daca to this bill to fund the government. he s calling it something else. listen. illegal immigration. that s what they have shoehorned into all of this, shoehorned that issue right into it and said we won t solve any of his other stuff until we do with this. that is the interesting thing, that they are talking about illegal immigration, that
