Have to say, a lot of people did not know what the plan b is. cory gardiner said, were going to keep continuing to work really end out the clock to midnight tonight, the last 90 minutes after this vote fails, were going to keep working, see what we can do. no optimism on his part that they would be able to reach any sort of hail mary passage. at this 11th hour, i asked him, would you be in support of potentially a few days short term cr? some republican senators really interested in that, senato...

Breaking news in here, some new information we have. this is according to brian fallon. at this point its guaranteed shut down of some duration because the house would need to also pass a new deal the senate struck. so it cant happen in only 20 minutes. so we are guaranteed a government shutdown in, what, 14 minutes up on the screen. also some new information that we have here according to our folks in washington. democrats proposed a cr that would expire on january 29th, which is the day before...

More breaking news right now in the effort to head off a government shutdown on the democratic meeting as well as a compromise emerging. phil mattingly has the new reporting. >> reporter: anderson, just a short while ago we received a statement from senator lindsey graham, a republican, obviously a key player in the immigration efforts, the daca resolution efforts. he was going to be a no on the short term funding bill that the house passed and sent over. senator graham sent out a statement that...

And the leadership that there will be an effort to deal with the dreamers and then every time we come to one of these deadlines, that promise is just forgotten. i think congressman dent has it exactly right. there has to be a commitment to deal with the dreamers. its about the fact that community health centers are not funded. yes chip is funded but the place that most of those kids in my community go to get their health care will be shuttered under this budget. so weve got to be able to deal wi...

Will be going on as they get through this this weekend, but as far as the feeling and the tone im getting from many senators going out to cast their vote, a little defeatism, the question is, where does this all go next. >> where does it go? its anybodys guess. so thank you, well get back to you. shes standing by in washington. also phil mattingly standing by as well. on capitol hill. the voting is pretty much over, they have not announced the final vote count yet, so we can still say its ongoin...

>> i can deal with it either way. im happy to put chip in the continuing resolution to fund the government for six years. im fine with that. im fine with what the house passed. that said, in order to reopen the government, we have to separate them, thats fine with when too. the point right now is the senate must pass a bill to fund the government. i dont know what theyre going to do. im told they are simply going to change the date from february 16th back to february 8th, in other words, to keep...

Neglected. these are things that we were bringing up in august and september, republicans were obsessed instead with shutting down health care for 30 million americans, and then they were obsessed with a tax bill to deliver a trillion dollars to americans. tonight we dont have anything on the opiod epidemic, we dont have anything on keeping our community health centers open. orddressing the health departments needs. we need intensive negotiations to get this done. including members of our commun...

I cannot sell this to my caucus. so there was a little bit of a movement there to try and maybe get a three-week extension, but chuck schumer told the republicans, i cant sell that. it goes to show you that conversations are still going on. people are skeptical that something could happen in the next hour, but clearly people are trying, and that should be encouraging if you care about the government shutting down at midnight. >> i have it here. it says lindsey graham offered a compromise idea ca...

Have been on this issue in large part over the course of the last 24 hours. theyve made very clear they have significant problems with how the republicans have drafted this short-term bill. she have significant problems and significant deficits of trust in terms of how republicans will deal with the daca resolution if there is one even on the table at all. does that mean they will eventually vote no against a short-term funding bill? up to this point, it has looked like, yes, throughout this day...

Needing 11. the question is they are going to get some democrats no matter what even on the short-term house pass funding bill. if there is some type of resolution or agreement on a shorter term cr, can they get the votes of 11, 12, 13, 14 more. that is what mitch mcconnell is waiting to see as we are all waiting to see, as the entire 49 caucus meets right now. >> finger pointing, deal making. mike shields and simone sanders. everybody gets some blame. the democrats dont come away unscathed. >> ...
