The serious bipartisan negotiations that have been going on for months now to resolve our unfinished business, military spending, disaster relief, health care, immigration , and Border Security will continue. It would be my intention to resolve these issues as quickly as possible so that we can move on to other business thats important to our country. However, should these issues not be resolved by the time the funding bill before us expires on february 8, 2018, assuming that the government remains open, it would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address daca, Border Security, and should. So i will add my vote for this this agreement as the majority leader has simply outlined, that we have a c. R. That runs through february 8, we seek to have an agreement on immigration before that time, as well as the other outstanding issues, but if an agreement has not been reached by february 8, that we move to immigration, and that the senate deals with it as the senate should, without relying on the white house or other bodies, other chambers to dictate what essentially the senate floor would take a step before february 8th. Yes. The problem is if you finish the immigration bill before february 8th, then will we have to deal with the next shutdown february he 8th. Right. That kicks the bill off the senate calendar. And you can only bring it back so there are the yeah. We want to start and finish the immigration bill. That will give us time. What does that mean for schumer is going to talk to members of his caucus. Is it your sense that he will be receptive to this . I think some will. Some will remain reluctant. The weekend has been jammed with negotiations and failed attempts to bridge a gap. Mulvaney accused schumer of not agreeing to the border wall funding. And schumer said mulvaney was out of the loop. He had the gall to look at the president and say im giving you everything asked for the wall and when pressed admitted he wasnt doing it. That is the type of negotiation he is engaging in with the president. He will have to up his game and be a little more hon heest with the president of the United States. You offered 1. 6 billion in funding. He was not in the room. He does not know the truth. Of. How much did you offer the president . Im not giving you a number. He put a number on the table, and we took it. It is appropriating the the money. Thats the difference. No one has pressed mr. Schumer on. He wants to authorize it but doesnt want to spend the money to get it built. The president demanded for months that a deal on daca include the wall. Because the president campaigned on the wall, even though he said it be paid for by mexico, and demands the wall for the sake of compromise. For the sake of coming together. I offered it. Despite what some people are saying on tv, and mind you these are folks not in the room during discussion, that is exactly what happened. The president picked a number for the wall. I accepted it. It wasnt my number. It wasnt the number in the bills here. He he picked it. Now, it would be hard to imagine such a more reasonable compromise. All along the president saying ill do daca and d. R. E. A. M. Ers in return for the wall. Hes got it. Cant take yes for an answer. Thats why were here. We are hearing all of this sound how divisive washington has been this entire weekend. That is for sure. Joining us now from capitol hill nick vaquero reporting. Lets talk about this latest proposal for Mitch Mcconnell getting this c. R. To get us to february 8th. Then if immigration and dak a qaa is not figured out by then to make the promise of debating and figuring out immigration and daca with that. How is it being received in d. C. And what do you think the chances are that this vote when it comes at noon today could actually crease this Government Shutdown and everybody gets back to work . Its hard to see what the point of all the drama and the disruption. And we are so deep in the senate weeds right now, it is hard to see what the point of all of that was. If democrats will go along with a wink and nod and promise, to put the immigration bill on the floor and open it for debate. He made that promise in the past. A lot of democrats pointed out overnight on twitter and elsewhere that it really isnt anything more they have gotten after voting against the government funding bill. To top it all off, we could come to february 8th three weeks hence and go through this procedure and all of this all over again. Yes, Mitch Mcconnell promised to bring it to the senate floor. What about here in the house of representatives where im standing . Remember it was five years ago that the senate did pass a comprehensive reform plan. It came to the house. It was buried. So it does appear that at noon they may cobble together the 60 votes to move forward, reopen the government after two and a half days. Its unclear what the future may hold and whether or not we will go through this exercise again in a few weeks. Let me pick up on the last point you were talking about. Even if a deal is reached to reopen the government later today or tomorrow, where does the actual debate on immigration policy stand . Has there been a softening on either side. Have you seen a willingness that may point to immigration policy which really started this Government Shutdown on daca and immigration and the border wall. First of all, democrats did not vote to fund the the government because they insisted the advocates for immigrants and those undocumented here in the United States including the socalled d. R. E. A. M. Ers, who were brought here by unvol is tailor by their parents and have lived here for years to allow them to stay, to continue president obamas program that would allow them to stay. There is very little indication in the house there is any change of sentiment and any fix to that program could become law. Mike, we will talk to you at the bottom of the hour. Thanks. Mike President Trump is focusing largely on the military. Democrats are holding our military hostage over their desire to have unchecked illegal immigration. Cant let that happen that touched a nerve with duckworth. She lost both legs in 2004 when the helicopter she was piloting over iraq was shot down. Does he even know there are Service Members in harms way right now watching him looking for the commander in chief to show leadership, rather than try to deflect blame . I spent my entire adult life looking out for the wellbeing, the training, the equipping of the troops for whom i was responsible. Sadly, this is something the current ouptd of the oval office does not seem to care to do. And i will not be lectured about what our military needs by a five deferment draft dodger. And i have a message for cadet bonespurs, if you cared about our country, you would stop baiting kim jongun baiting him into a war. It was never put up for a vote after the Senate Majority whip. John cornyn objected. And Vice President mike pence playing the military card over the Government Shutdown standing in front of a background of in uniform troops in the middle east. He talked politics, demonizing democrats for the shutdown. A minority in the senate has decided to play politics with military pay, but you deserve better. Your president , your Vice President , and the American People are not going to put up with it. Were going to demand they reopen the government. Were not going to reopen negotiations until they reopen the government and give you soldiers and your families the wages and benefits youve earned. Interesting. Mike pences words not necessarily being received well here, especially by the democrats in the u. S. , saying the republicans are actually holding the military hostage while republicans are saying that the democrats are holding the military hostage. So we can really see, as i said earlier, how divisive this argument going on in washington is happening, how divisive it is. How is the Vice President s presence in jerusalem being received as he arrives there . Right now from the israeli side, he has been given the red carpet treatment. Banners and flags have been put up at the hotel where he is staying saying Vice President pence, welcome to jerusalem, welcome to israel. The israeli president will be speaking as well and to the israeli parliament. We will have a chance to hear more about what has happened following the decision to move the embassy here. One thing not on his schedule is a meeting with the palestinian officials. They will not meet with mike pence or the white house at this stage given how controversial that was to move the embassy in a manner they think, the palestinians think, is not in compliance with International Law and certainly their aspirations. Very controversial to say the least. Millions of women take to the streets in cities and towns across the United States. With an eye on the upcoming midterms. We now know who is going to the super bowl. Highlights from straight ahead in sports. We have those stories and a check on your weather when we come back. Hey, you every talk to anybody about your money . Yeah, i got some Financial Guidance a while ago. Howd that go . He kept spelling my name with an i but its bryan with a y. yeah, since birth. That drives me crazy. Yes. Its on all your email. Yes. They should know this . Yeah. The guy was my brotherinlaw. Thats ridiculous. Well, i happen to know some people. Do they listen . What . Theyre amazing listeners. Nice. Guidance from professionals who take their time to get to know you. Welcome back, everybody. Demonstrators gathered for backtoback days of marches this weekend, one year after millions rallied to highlight womens issues and challenge the presidency of donald trump. Thousands attended the anniversary rally in las vegas. The event dubbed power to the polls. Aimed at galvanizing voters to elect more women and progressive candidates. It was preceded by hundreds of thousands of activists clouded in pink and carrying signs from los angeles. There were about 600,000 attendees to new york city where mayor de blasio said 200,000 took to the streets. The turnout in washington, d. C. Was smaller than last years 500,000. Lawmakers, including nancy pelosi, took a break from the stalemate on capitol hill to address the crowd. So while we have this president celebrating his one year anniversary, lets give him an f for his performance. There you two. A big f. The president responded to the marches across the nation tweeting beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all women to march. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and Wealth Creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years. Eric trump, second eldest son of President Trump, argued the Government Shutdown is a good thing for the Trump Administration saying democrats are to blame for the paralysis in washington. You look at this whole Government Shutdown and the only reason they want to shut down government is to distract and to stop his momentum. My father has had incredible momentum. He has gotten more done in one year than any president in history. How did they divert from that message . They dont have leadership. They dont have good candidates, they dont have a message of their own. They disrupt, distract, they try to place blame. It is the worst in government. Honestly, i think its a good thing for us. Eric trump. Obviously a champion for his fathers message. Coming up, the matchup for super bowl lii is set and will feature the first 42 ever and the biggest underdogs in nearly a decade. Welcome back. Time for sports. Championship sunday is and the nfl has decided this years super bowl contenders, start with the nfc where eagles fans worrying about nick foles under center in the postseason can breathe a sigh of relief, as least for now after the blowout against the vikings. Foals racked up 352 yards through the area, including three touchdown passes in the game. The eagles defense did their part, allowing one early minnesota score before shutting them out for the are phaoeurpd of the contest. It earns philadelphia its third trip to the super bowl the road to the big game would not be as easy for tom brady who shook off a thumb injury to play against the jaguars. The daunting jacksonville defense held new england offense to just ten points in the first half. Brady would have one less target in the second half after tightened Rob Gronkowski did not return after a head injury late in the second. Jaguars would only muster two field goals building a 10point lead before he letting it all slip away in the fourth quarter. Bradys nine yard strike to Danny Amendola cuts the lead to three. Six minutes later, he finds amendola once again for a four yard score to put new england ahead with a little under three minutes to play. Blake bortles unable to lead on a game winning drive, instead turning the ball over on downs and allowing the pats to run out the clock and secure the 2420 comeback victory. You can never count out tom brady. With those games completed, the matchup for super bowl lii is set. Patriots will square off against the philadelphia eagles. Eagles hope to clinch their first championship. They failed to win twice before in the title game. It looks like they are the underdogs according to westgate super bowl. 6 30 eastern time all on nbc. I want to get a temperature gauge in the study heeo. What eagles fans do we have . Jerry is the only guy . Everybody else is asleep in the studio. Thanks, everybody. It was your moment. It is before 5 00 a. M. , so you cant blame them. Well try again in an hour or so. All right. Still ahead, everybody, the latest from capitol hill as the government countdown spills from last week into this one. And mike pences trip to israel this morning. Amon is traveling with the Vice President. Welcome back, everybody. We are covering the Vice President in jerusalem. Lets start with the mornings top stories. Where things stand on the Government Shutdown as we enter day three and the First Official business day. There are signs of a break in the log jam. Late last night Mitch Mcconnell scheduled a vote for noon today on a threeweek extension tied to consideration of an immigration bill. Here he is followed by Chuck Schumer. The democrat filibuster, the government funding bill ends. As soon as bipartisan negotiations have been going on for months now to resolve our unfinished business. Military spending, disaster relief, health care, immigration, Border Security will continue. It would be my intention to resolve these as quickly as possible so we can move on to other business thats important to our country. However, should these not be resolved before the funding bill expires before us on february 8th, 2018, assuming the government remains open, we could proceed to legislation to address daca, Border Security, and related issues. I am happy to continue my discussion with the majority leader about reopening the government. Weve had several conversations. Talks will continue. But we have yet to reach an agreement on on a path forward that would be acceptable for both sides. Two of the republicans who sided with nearly all the Senate Democrats in opposing funding until a deal was reached im tkpwraeugz S Immigration say they will. Lindsey graham said if we do not breakthrough on maimmigration b february 8th. Im hopeful my democrat colleagues will find a way to reopen the government so we can find a solution on immigration, defense spending and many other issues. Im convinced that to continue the Government Shutdown after this proposal does more harm than good to our effort to find common ground. Jeff flake is private lobbying democrats to join him. I will add my vote for this agreement as the majority leader has simply outlined, that we have a c. R. That runs through february 8th. We seek to have an agreement on on immigration before that time. And as well as the other outstanding issues. If an agreement has not been reached by february 8th, that we move to immigration. And that the senate deals with it as the senate should, without relying on the white house or other bodies, other chambers to dictate what we do here. Where do you think democrats are right now . Is Chuck Schumer happy with this . Is his caucus happy with this . They would have liked more of a commitment. They would have liked a motion to proceed to a bill. That would be a vote on a bill that essentially the senate floor would take a procedural step in public before february 8th . Yes. The problem is if you finish the immigration bill before february 8th, then when we have to deal with the next shutdown february 8th that kicks the bill off the senate calendar. And you can only bring it back there are a lot of hurdles there. We want to start and finish the immigration bill. So what does that mean for where schumer is now going to talk to members of his caucus . Will they be receptive to this . Will the government be open tomorrow . I think some will and some will be reluctant. Bipartisan discussions with 20 moderate senators on a way to end the shutdown. Here is a question from garrett hake. The tone on the floor has been very different from what we are hearing up here. Are they on board with what you guys are working on on up here . They are certainly very much aware of our meeting and efforts. There will be members who will be going to talk to them to discuss possible options. We recognize that ultimately it is the decision of mcconnell and schumer as to how to proceed. We
