The democrats to shut down the government. lindsey graham, jeff flake, mike lee, rand paul. so this isn t purely a democratic strategy. there s a number of key high-profile republicans who lined up with the democrats because they wanted a comprehensive solution. and it s clear that democrats want to bring some sort of commonsense consensus effort forward, and that s why they were able to partner with those four republicans to come up with some sort of a plan. it s also why senator lindsey graham and dick durbin presented a comprehensive deal to the president. it s on republicans like donald trump who shut down that deal who are ultimately causing the shutdown. well, you know the one thing that is certain, here s where we are. the incendiary rhetoric, it seems to have been toned down a bit. there are thousands of people who are uncertain about what happens next. do they get a paycheck? do they go to work? that s where we are right now and we ll have to see if these sides could come
Republicans. but i think the reason that you see both sides wanting to get to an answer here, and when i say i don t think it will happen at the noon, i think it s unlikely. of course all things happen in washington. it may happen today, tomorrow, a week from now. the reason you see both parties wanting to get to a deal is because americans are more than capable of being frustrated and upset with more than one party. i think that s what you see in a shutdown is that the animosity there s plenty to go around for both democrats and republicans. has this u.s. president, though, done enough to weigh into this debate? i remember with the previous president there was the criticism, the claim that he would lead from behind. so we re seeing this president distance himself from the debate. is that leading from behind? and what does he stand to lose the longer this plays out? it s hard for me to make a judgment on that. i ll say that the that president trump, when he s talked about shutd
Pence will be welcomed with fanfare by israeli leaders at all of the events, the biggest of which will be a speech before parliament monday afternoon. he ll go to the western wall in the old city of jerusalem, as trump did in may. prime minister benjamin netanyahu speaking at the foreign ministry shortly after pence s arrival said the two will discuss security and peace. security focuses on the iran/israel deal. take seriously the threat to cancel the deal if it s not fixed. netanyahu directed his message of peace on palestinian president abbas. he said, if you re not willing to discuss peace with the americans, you don t want peace. palestinian leaders boycotted the american delegation following trump s decision on jerusalem. despite pence reiterating in jordan and egypt the white house is still committed to a peace process between israelis and palestinians. while pence is here, the palestinian leader will be in brussels on monday meeting with european union leaders. oren lieberman, c
What about chain migration? it is a complicated problem we re not getting the answer to tonight, but we want to keep the government open. people like dave and chuck schumer are literally willing to throw 8 million children under the bus that rely on programs like c.h.i.p., and our military, grieving widows like your reporter said, they re willing to play politics with those people to get a score on daca, but they can get ate week from now. dave, this is the problem for the democrats, there is a vulnerability here. because a lot of people could turn around and say, just open up the government and deal with daca a little later, because it s not a problem for daca right now. i think john s right that the devil is in the details. at the end of the day, the american people are going to look at which party controls all different arms of the government. and that s the republicans. they re in charge. they re not going to look at all the finite nuances when it comes to these votes. let s no
Anything put in front of me. then we suddenly see this backflip. this is the problem. and this is really at the core of the lack of trust on the part of the democrats when it comes to making a decision on this and they re using this as leverage to get what they need for the d.r.e.a.m.ers. so do you agree that there is a problem here and the root of it appears to be president trump and what he believes? because mitch mcconnell himself has said he doesn t really know exactly what president trump wants. yeah, but this fight really is between chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell. like the president said, he would essentially sign what makes it to his desk. and it s not that president trump does want to make a deal on daca, rosemary, he also wants to keep the government open. the challenge with daca, like to dave s point, most americans do want to keep daca, but the devil is in the details. daca doesn t mean amnesty for the parents as well as the kids? does it mean they can use welfare pro
