Much activity here on this side of pennsylvania avenue, but all eyes at the white house are on the u.s. capitol. particularly the floor of the senate, as senators begin to mill in, there is an open question here. would there be enough votes to reach that 60 threshold. hour by hour, that optimism has dwindled. theres not been an all out effort here at all to get those democrats on board. the white house press secretary sara sanders has been sending out messages on social media, calling out indivi...

Tonight. however, there are ten states that are going to run out of chip money, filibustering chip to die on the daca hill tonight, is going to look foolish. >> i want both of you to stand by, i want to get to phil mattingly. you have some news for us? >> yeah, look, i think the big question now is what happens next, heres what we know, this vote is going to go down, its not been gaveled in yet, there are enough votes -- enough no votes to ensure they wont pass the 60 votes threshold. after this...

Republicans both shutdown the government, okay. the blame doesnt just fall in one party. and i mean, we could talk for hours here how the government was set up as senator kennedy said by geniuses, okay, and now, run by idiots, right. well, the geniuses are the ones who set up the 60-vote threshold in the united states senate. so the bottom line is that chuck schumer, paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, and every democrat and republican needs to come together, and to your point, paris, i agree with you, ...

The aisle. the problem is mitch mcconnell couldnt get across the threshold with his members theres 51 republicans and one absence, john mccain is not here, but they couldnt even deliver on their side of the aisle. thats why you need democratic buy-in. this is where chuck schumer the, minority leader from new york, has been saying for weeks we have leverage. thats why democrats were willing do go to the mat over daca. until you get past that impasse, you dont really know. people had said its kind...

One threshold of. pain and then it just repeat its agreed that she. puts on some more ink than your skin gets and takes a break and then your nerves i think just exhale quit and go. but . its very calculated. piegan isnt the first to be scared. but. getting a tattoo is torture just as it always has been. really . ronnie because you would think of submitting to this kind of.

Huddle around chuck schumer, who will be the person to give this signal to the democrats as to anything lindsey graham or his republican colleague versus brought to them is something they can trust. remember, schumer is the only law maker here in the room with the president today, it was just the two men and their readyive chiefs of staff and so much of the hangup here for democrats is on the issue of trust of this president. can they agree to a deal and see it all the way through to its conclus...

Head of omb. we have hundreds of senior levels that trump hasnt filled, tried to fill. the key people are doing part time jobs or no jobs at all. the number of things that are going to go wrong here over the next few days is going to be a tragedy. >> i was struck today that we were on the threshold of a government shutdown and it was noted cruzs fault. that was really i thought -- that was worthy of breaking news in and of itself. if we all recall when ted cruz was pushing the government toward ...

The government down even though they control all three branchs of the government. >> clearly on the count we have now, rand paul also voting know and mike lee voting no. the four democrats who said in advance they were going to vote yes, have voted yes but no other democrats moved to yes. so this is now officially hopeless for the republicans with three republicans voting against it so far, graham, rand pal paul, mike lee. adam, what happens next? >> if three republicans are voting no and four d...

Democrats as to whether anything that lindsey graham or any of his republican colleagues have brought to them is something that they can trust. remember, schumers the only lawmaker that was in the room with the president today. it was just the two men and their respective chiefs of staff. and so much of the hang up here for democrats is on the issue of trust of this president. can they agree to a deal and see it all the way through to its conclusion or will they be undermined in a second with a ...

Mattingly right now. phil whats going on? >> reporter: yeah, so, the senate is going to, once they get the house bill, theyre going to take it up on the floor. what they will first do is have a vote, as you noted, on the motion to proceed. that would get them onto the bill. that is a simple majority threshold, so they need 51 votes to actually move that forward. as of this moment, both republicans and democrats believe the votes are there to do that. that is not the vote that everybody needs to ...
