Pelosi and leader schumer for being able to hold that line. >> and now theres a group of bipartisan senators who are reportedly working on another version of the pelosi bill which is a funding the government for three weeks with no wall. and that includes people like lindsey graham, whos a little bit surprising to see on that list on the republican side. i want to go back to what seemed like the conclusion of a drama yesterday, but the real final moment was today when the president issued his ow...

Are not being paid. weve all seen other impacts of the continuing government shutdown. now were talking about into its fifth week. kelly odonnell on capitol hill, the senate is technically in session. the house is on the call of nancy pelosi but not in session today. are there any glimmers, now that the senate has defeated both of those options, the trump republican plan and the democratic plan, defeated with crossover votes with a number of republican senators, more republican senators crossing...

Jump started talks between mcconnell and schumer, republicans and democrats. while those talks were going on, trump appeared on camera to signal he could be open to some kind of a deal. >> are you open to this idea of a temporary spending measure to re-open the government? >> well, one of the ideas suggested is they open it, they pay sort of a prorated down payment for the wall, which i think people agree that you need. you need the wall. >> if mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer can come to some ...

For donald trump as he realizes that he doesnt have a single dollar for that wall. that could all change in three weeks but as of now, hes given up on the shutdown. the government is reopening and theres no money for the wall. >> jonathan? >> so as soon as did he this announcement, i got an unsolicited text from the former white house official and campaign official, quote, trump looks pathetic. he just seeded his presidency to nancy pelosi. trump -- so this all came together very quickly this mo...

Nancy pelosi and schumer will be able to come to an agreement on this. well be able to put together border security package. obviously, i dont think anyone has any anticipation that the president is going to stop talking about immigration the way he has been the last five years. i am not sure how that impacts negotiations. i do think if he stays away, there is a deal to be had there. almost everybody agrees to that if he just leaves it to people who had been studying these issues and involve in ...

Prevent him from coming into her house and prevent him from giving a speech. >> when do we know this starts to break? >> i think we are seeing both sides take heat. for me one of the signs people are starting to feel heat is that mitch mcconnell is coming off the sidelines. he is starting to get a bit more involved. he put this message bill on the senate floor today. he is starting to meet with schumer. he has been talking with trump and back chaneling with him throughout. i think many people at...

Up and running again. today in the senate there were two votes on competing plans to end the shutdown. one from trump. the other from the democrats. both of them failed but the democrats plan notably gathered more yes votes than trumps version. six republican senators, forgive me. they crossed the aisle to support the democrats proposal. that kind of thing can get majority leaders attention and indeed, the vote appears to have jump started talks between mcconnell and schumer. democrats and democ...

Their own and get chaotic internally and dont hold the line. but in this case everything sort of fell into place for them. its being treated as a triumph for pelosi. still trying to figure out exactly why now for trump. what i was told is it wasnt the air traffic stuff this morning, that this really did happen last night when talks began to really began to happen serious between mcconnell and schumer. but again, what was it about trump -- what was it about those talks that led trump to say, you ...

Weeks of what theyve asked for so far would be. whether or not democrats would support that is still an open question. you heard the president pointing several times there to that meeting between senator chuck schumer and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. theyve been meeting. they just broke up and ended that meeting. were going to talk to them after that. when he was asked by a reporter in the room would he assign whatever kind of agreement that mcconnell and schumer came to, he said yes ...

Its a check on the presidents authority and the check of the presidents reality. unless he gets with reality, i think were going to be in a very bad place. >> quickly, its interesting. i looked at the clips and what we were covering. january 10, january 11, not that long ago, everything from lindsey graham recommending he declare a state of emergency to trump essentially saying im going to do it, im probably going do it, and then suddenly no. and then from about january 12 until today, until our...
