Guarantees of what comes next. >> melissa: happy friday to you. busy friday but still friday. im melissa francis. the clock is ticking down on the government shutdown before the stroke of midnight tonight with republicans and democrats preparing to blame each other if the federal government closes down all but essential services. right now immigration and defense spending are key stumbling blocks with partisan divisions as deep as ever. kellyanne conway firing a warning shot at democrats. >> it ...

Constructive conversation yesterday betweand were havinge on daily basis. we are making conversation, and to your point, why then shut down the government when youre actually making progress on this front? were all anxious to get a resolution and solve the problem. >> why not support this plan some democrats have talked about, something very, very short-term. jerry moran has talked about it, too, five days to hammer out, if you are, in fact, making progress on the daca negotiations, and do somet...

House. how does that change what you see playing out here over these next few hours. >> well, its a promising move. ive talked to several gop leaders who have privately confirmed that there will be no government shutdown. they dont think its going to happen. they think quote/unquote cooler heads will prevail. if that means senator schumer has the cooler head and the president manages to cool down, then we should see some movement. but, you know, the senate is moving a four or five-day measure. h...
