that s excellent. it s 14-7. we re up in the second quarter. so, for all of you sitting here watching this shutdown coverage with baited breath instead of watching the football game, there is your update. thank you for sticking with us. sir, what is going to unfold tonight? do you think what are the odds they can get to a deal in your view? i don t think they get to a deal tonight. first the government must reopen. once the government reopens, it is incumbent on us to find a buy part son buy camera agreement. we can get off of this treadmill of continuing resolutions which is very frustrating. this budget agreement is critical. we re not going to get a budget agreement until there is some consensus on daca, you know, the dreamers. and pairing that up with border security. and then the real issue will be if we ever get a bipartisan agreement on daca, to pass out of the senate with 60 votes could that ever pass in the house? yes, it would pass in the house. the question is coul
the same time. some polls indicate people want to keep the government functioning while these negotiations continue. congress s numbers are lower than trump. maybe this will be one of those years where incumbents of both parties take a beating and go out and find new jobs. in terms of how this plays for democrats, given that the shutdown coverage is dominating headlines a not the accomplishes of t president, is that good or bad for democrats? i think it plays right into the narrative that this is a dysfunctional president and a republican party that cannot find any way to govern. and that feeds, i think, one the democratic base. you are seeing this in these races across the country where there is a significant amount of democratic energy and national
leaders are meeting at the white house today. we will have the news as it happens. plus, the political fallout from this mess in d.c. no winners on capitol hill with record low approval ratings. is that helping drive the deal? and has the messy rollout of obamacare gotten a free pass because of the shutdown coverage? judy miller and kirsten powers are here on that. and the schizophrenic behavior of iran. talk about negotiation, while bragging about missile launches. it s all coming up, happening now . bill: you ve got a packed show. see you at the top to of the ho. our veteran war correspondent goes into a war zone here in the u.s. stevesteve harrigan with in onef the most dangerous cities in the u.s., we will tell you where that is, next.
