Vote tonight to either a break the filibuster or maybe vote or at least consider some type of short-term continuing resolution for monday when federal workers go back or maybe theres that three-week lindsay graham deal to fund the government through february 8th. i mean what do you think we can expect this evening? >> i think well were going to hear what mcconnell has to say if he does take to the floor to tell us what his plans are but if democrats continue to filibuster, really the earliest th...

Democrats need to open the government back up. republican and democratic leaders both said that they would continue to talk raising the possibility of a solution over the weekend, but house republican leaders once again are vowing they are not going to bend when it comes to daca. when will democrats bend on this issue or are they going to allow this to continue. >> that is a good question and if anybody knows the answer, then they could probably -- nobody knows. i can tell you this, julie, i hav...

This basically to use this as a lever for the dreamer, the immigration matter. on that count, i think most americans agree with the democrats. if the republicans can get the three-week window in order to negotiate a deal there, i think thats the best opportunity. the pressure i dont think will come to either party in the short term . >>paul: james, already the republicans are talking about having an open debate on immigration after this window if they can pass this three-week continuing resoluti...

Peter? >> republicans in the house, arthel, are saying they did their job. they passed a budget -- or a continuing resolution to fund the government. they sent it over to the senate and now the senate has it stuck. they are saying that they refuse -- they will refuse to negotiate a long-term fix for daca recipients that democrats have been demanding in exchange for their support until the democrats relent and support this short-term measure. >> i have been talking to them all the way through. a ...

To this 10:00p.m. vote. theres very little optimism theyre going to get to the 60 votes, this procedural vote, then actually be able to pass what the house sent over. that four-week continuing resolution, and the six years of the child healthcare program. so from there, with those two things in mind, where does it go? as ed pointed out, theres now this idea of a february 8, get the government funded through the state of the union. it does a couple of things. one, you dont have the shutdown and t...

Three-week continuing resolution to fund the government, you got to get to 60 votes in the senate to do that, then it has to go back over to the house f that doesnt happen by midnight, its not like cinderella, the lights dont turn out, theres all sorts of tricks that congress can use in the executive branch can use to keep things going while theyre continuing to try and solve this problem. if it does go back to the house, the house members were told to stick around, they ee subject to recall by ...

And work until this work gets done. im certainly willing to. this is supposed to be the most deliberative body in the world. and i know that some will say there is just not enough time, but there is, ive watched this body work very quickly when necessary. i think a governments would require that. we have pushed this budget off for now 112 days. and so that is why im proposing a three-day continuing resolution so we can work together to come to a conclusion to do what the american people want. an...

Believe its going to take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours so by monday a deal is cut. thats because the president himself recognizes that his reputation is on the line. >> josh, what can motivate the president to get this done? >> for one thing, i think he wants to go to palm beach for this fund-raiser. >> its true. >> im interested to see whether he chooses to go anyway while the government is shut down. there was all that huddling on the senate floor. >> it looked like something was happening. >>...
