Johnson slams Democrats as House appears reluctant to pass Senate bill to fund DHS, end TSA chaos

President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in

Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop

them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let

voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections.

Right up the top capital hill where a Senate past spundling bill faces the fate of elected

representatives now catching the ball in the house. So passage means TSA agents could get paid.

It would be a win for both parties as lawmakers get ready to go on break. So let's break this

apart step by step. First of all senators reached a deal just after 2 a.m. Eastern to partially

fund DHS. That gets TSA workers paid if the house passes the bill and then the president signs.

The problem is house Democrats appear to hold firm on changes to ICE and border patrol.

Here's the state of play just before the Senate set that legislation over to the house.

This could have been accomplished weeks ago if Republicans hadn't stood in the way.

Democrats held firm in our opposition that Donald Trump's rogue and deadly militia

should not get more funding without serious reforms and we will continue to fight for those

reforms. Democrats got their issue I guess and in the process they are irreparably

damaging the appropriations process and this institution. I hope they're satisfied.

Let's go live to Capitol Hill and CBS News Congressional reporter Torian Small watching all of

this okay. So Torian people stuck in those TSA lines and airports want to know if that bill

passes before congressional recess. What's the read from Democrats in the House right now?

Yeah I think I might have bad news for them read. It appears that sentiment among

House Republicans is unsavory for that bill that came out of the Senate. We're awaiting to hear

from Speaker Mike Johnson who set to speak before the press about where his caucus or his conference

stands but we heard from quite a few Republican lawmakers who hated the fact that the Senate voted

overnight and then essentially got out of town leaving or putting the onus on them to get this

done considering the fact that Republicans in the House three times over pass the bill that would

have fully funded the Department of Homeland Security after that passage of the Senate version

came to the House. This is what House Speaker Mike Johnson towed our Nicole Killian this morning.

We're going to get all the members together and sad that this morning about say it's

infuriating that Democrats are willing to inflict pain on the American people simply so they

can defund the agency that is responsible literally for removing coming out the legal aliens. That's

a good thing. Just put it on display for the country and what they're for and I think it's

getting tested. Members of the House Freedom Caucus dug in earlier this afternoon telling reporters

that they believe that they can leverage Donald Trump or President Trump committing President

Barack Obama. Virginia we are counting on you Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress

to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years but you can stop them

by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters

fund in order to actually get some stuff substantive conversations going on fully funding DHS

essentially bringing Senate back to the negotiating table take a listen to what members of the

House Freedom Caucus told us earlier. I guess the Democrats want a wide open border so what we're

suggesting is that what the only thing we're going to support is adding that funding into the bill

adding voter ID sending it back to the Senate make them come back and do their work. The bottom line

is this is not a this deal is bad for America it's bad for America. So that was Republican leadership

that was members of the far right House Freedom Caucus and then there are also Democrats in the House

who are unsatisfied with this. Listen we heard from Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries who says he's

still pushing for reforms that's the biggest piece missing from this considering the bill that

came over from the Senate did not include funding for ICE or CBP. So let me just get this straight

they the Senate passes this they send it over to the House but if the House did any amendments to

send it back to the Senate you're saying senators aren't even there to take care of this.

Correct I mean they left essentially right after voting to send this over to the House but

another wrinkle in this and I think the frustration is obviously being over communicated here but

there's another issue that the House is looking at. According to House rules they can't just expedite

this to the president's desk even if they were supportive of this there's a long drawn out

process because of the day of the week for example that this bill fell on their desk so they

would have to go through a process of putting it through a rules committee for its recommendation for

a full floor vote or else they would have to suspend the rules in order to get this done quicker

which is something a lot of Republicans seem hesitant on getting done. Again I want to emphasize

the fact that a few lawmakers I talk to Republican lawmakers I talk to say that they're looking

to leverage the fact that President Trump will essentially have paid for these paychecks for TSA

officers to continue these conversations and negotiations and even though the House voted three

times now to send over a four DHS funding bill that didn't really have that many supporters

from Democrats signing on to those bills so where it's likely this shutdown stalemate would

continue even longer than they originally thought it would read.

All right Torian Small following all of it today likely by the time our dinner time headlines

come out we will hear what Mike Johnson did as he gathered a lot of people as he said he would

much more to come thank you. President Barack Obama. Virginia we are counting on you. Republicans

want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two

more years but you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st help put our elections back on a

level playing field and let voters decide not politicians vote yes by April 21st.
