FOXNEWSW The Ingraham Angle January 20, 2018

Shutdown, government funding drama before President Trump gives his first state of the union adroes january 30. Earlier that was hope, two new yorkers, President Trump and the Senate Democratic leader would be able to cut a deal. We had a long and detailed meeting. We discussed all of the major outstanding issues, we made some progress but we still have good number of disagreements. Discussions will continue. Red state democrats donnely, jones, heitkamp, manchin, mckas kell voted in favor of the fourweek extension. Dilemma for Republican Leaders four republicans voted against it. Flake, graham, lee, and rand paul of kentucky. Earlier the majority leader was clearly irritated with Senate Democrats. This is completely unfair and uncompassionate for my democratic colleagues to filibuster government funding, harm our troops, or jeopardize Health Coverage for 9 million children because extreme elements of their base want illegal immigration to crowd out every other priority. Most senators from both parties throughout the course of the day seemed hopeful and looking for an escape hatch to avoid a Government Shutdown. They didnt seem to know how they would get there. But the democrat stayed so focused on the immigration deal with the clock ticking on government funding. Shannon . Shannon mike emanuel live on the hill for every twist and turn, well check back with you shortly. The schumer shutdown, thats what the white house is calling it. Chief National Correspondent ed henry joins us with the intense politicking and bickering. We have passed the midnight deadline and moving forward. Whats new is that the white house is finally officially weighed in. We were talking a few moments ago, are they going to be more constructive and say, okay, lets work this out. Or are they going to go hard against Chuck Schumer, and slam the democrats. I can tell you they picked the latter. This statement in the name of Sarah Sanders, the White House Press secretary is tough and as a trumpian flair, calling democrats losers. Heres the statement. Senate democrats own the schumer shutdown. This from Sarah Sanders. Tonight, they put politics above our national security. Military families. Vulnerable children and the countrys ability to serve all americans. We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands. This is the behavior of obstruction interest losers not legislators. When democrats start paying our armed forces and First Responders we will reopen negotiations on immigration reform. During this politically manufactured schumer shutdown, the president and his administration will fight for and protect the American People. That a statement literally just coming in the last moment or two from Sarah Sanders, the White House Press secretary, taking a tough, partisan tone saying that democrats are losers not legislators. Sounds like something that is coming straight out of a president ial tweet. And also, to be fair here, its out of the playbook, frankly, of democrats in 2013 who were charging that it was the republicans who were obstructionist for shutting the government down then, they were holding the nation hostage. Some of those same lines, now, are being turned back around against the democrats when they used it during the obama days. You can tell also that politically, from that statement, this white house thinks and well see whether theyre right or not, they can weather the political storm from a Government Shutdown by saying were not negotiating until schumer backs down. They think inside the white house from my conversations with senior officials there, that Chuck Schumer overplayed his hand on daca and they are going to push back here and say we gave you six years of an extension, a long time for Childrens Health insurance, a program, chip as its known that, democrats said they had to have. The president gave on that. Said hes willing to work on daca. The bottom line is, this white house is taking a very hard line in these negotiations. Shannon sounds like it from that statement. All right, ed henry live on the beat for us, thank you. The president foreshadowing a shutdown a short while ago, tweeting, quote, its not looking good. White house correspondent kevin cork joins us with where the white house goes next. Youre right. It was interesting to watch the trajectory as we were watching it play out, shannon, clearly, you had a glimmer of hope, maybe, around 5 30 or so. Let me take to you twitter. Give the folks at home an idea of what we were sort of experiencing with the president as he took to twitter. You may call he had the meeting with Chuck Schumer, president said it was an excellent meeting saying the following. Excellent meeting with Chuck Schumer. Then we noticed a few hours later that he began to say what youve been saying for the most part all night long, not looking good. Well, tonight, the hard work obviously continues down the road, pennsylvania avenue. Now, earlier today i want to share this, mick mull vain yea called of the the democrats saying this has everything, everything they asked for, save for a daca fix. Four clean crs, there are four extension to the chip program, many of them support the delay, some of the taxes, more specifically the medical device tax, the cadillac tax. They dont oppose anything in the bill. But they are opposing the bill. Theyre posing the bill. I literally, moments ago before coming out here, just wanted to see whats happening upstairs. Ive been on the phone like most of my colleagues throughout the night checking in with our sources trying to figure out where we go from here. The president wont make his way down to march a la go, he hopes to get this pushed over the finish line. The president , his chief of staff john kelly continued to make phone calls in the hopes that they can craft a deal to keep the government funded eventually. Right now as you point out, it is shutdown time. Shannon thank you, update us as you hear more, kevin. The blame game gints in earnest. Fox news political anchor bret baier is back with us. Its officially happened. That rest of the conversation is going to start. Bret i feel like lindsey graham, shuttling between studios. But if you look at the floor, put that up, its interesting to watch, these groups meeting, Lindsay Graham Still Holding court with democrats. Now you have a group of republicans, pat too maniy there, you see toomey, barasso. On the other side, the democrats meeting, laying out i think the details have what theyre trying to do. Mitch mcconnell looks like hes getting ready to give a speech, maybe theyre coming to the end of this. This bill has been open for some time. Talk about the blame game. Just to give you a flavor of where this may have gone wrong for democrats, the associated press, the story that is on the line now, says Senate Democrats derail bill to avert shutdown. Thats the headline of the a. P. Story, Senate Democrats derail bill to avert shutdown. That gives you a sense that the blame game, how ever it is portrayed, is going to be a little tougher for democrats. They had that bill in front of them to not do what we are now. Shannon if this administration is trying to be careful, they control house senate and white house to make this as painless as they can for the public, thats going to factor in as well. People arent going to be showing up and being denied services in important places. Social security checks go out, all of those important things continue to happen. They arent fog to put the public face on it like we saw in 2013 when it was a more adversarial government. Bret they will go go out of their way. And while they have the majority in the senate, theyll say they dont control it. They dont have the 60 votes. You may hear the president weigh in on that. Earlier tonight, Sarah Sanders tweeted democrats cant shut down the booming trump economy. Are they now so desperate theyll shut down the government instead. You heard this from the president , he thinks the luck of the tax cuts is part of the reason you get into the shutdown. He may have a point if the shutdown goes for some time. For example, at the irs, almost 56 of irs employees would be sent home as nonessential. Now, this is an irs that is trying to transition to the new tax law that is going to be bombarded by questions from taxpayers around the country. Tax Filing Season starts in less than two weeks. If the shutdown continues for several days it becomes an issue on the tax front. Shannon and peoples lives trying to get answers and move forward. What did you think todays politico had a piece the white house was trying to distant the president from this, sending out mick mulvaney, and others, attempts to make sure the president is not tarred and feathered with this. It is what happens on capitol hill as we watch the conversations in the back and forth and the negotiations, senator corker up there. Bret with a number of democrats also. Shannon thats not a pair you see often the together on any substantive policy thing. Theyre trying to get something done or they would have called it a night and left. This vote is technically still open. We see the wandering between the two groups. Clearly there are bipartisan conversations going on, on the floor of the senate right now, as they know, officially entered shut down territory, 11 mince ago. It looks like the negotiation continues. Bsh you can see Elizabeth Warren saying something in an animated way. Which you can schumer sitting down and the senators gathered around him. On the other side, you have Lindsay Graham talking to senator cornyn and others, senator grass lee, Lamar Alexander trying to peek in. Going from group to group to try to get some, iron out some details that perhaps allow some negotiation to go forward. If the bill is changed substantially, it has to go back to the howls. It could be to the house. Could be approved by a voice vote but theres a potential problem if its changed significantly over there. I think that theyre trying to get to a continuing resolution with a possible promise that theyre going on move on to immigration in this short period of time. Shannon interesting, on the house side they were trying to get their measure passed and they say, quote, weve done the work, its up to the senate now. That was one of the things that many in the Freedom Caucus said they would push for. They wanted a guarantee for their votes, that there would be a legislative vehicle, maybe the goodlatte bill, they wanted that, they wanted to it get to a vote. There was a tradeoff there. So that happened enterparty. May have to happen across the aisle as well. We see a lot of folks, now, they look congenial still at this point, still smiles on faces, people look a little bit weary. Maybe thats one of the tradeoffs, we vote on this tonight but we get to a daca measure within a certain number of days. We have a debate over how long this will be. Even if they agree to something, one of the proposals five days, the other in a two week range, we will be doing this again. Bret, we will be sitting here again doing this not too long from now. Seems like the American Public is getting distaste for this and governing from crisis to crisis. Bret youre looking on the left side of the screen, senator cotton with folded arms, and senator cornyn talking, two of the conservatives on immigration that would be pushing back against something that gave up a lot of the headway. Senator kennedy from louisiana, my favorite sound bite. Shannon he is a quotable guy, every week. Bret this sums it up. Id like to go back to america but im stuck in washington. And i think thats the feeling for a lot of people at home, this place isnt working. No matter what party you support, its not working. Now theyre gathered around Mitch Mcconnell, which you can schumer next to Mitch Mcconnell, we could be getting to a point where both sides are ironing out details. This is how the sausage is made, theyre writing legislation on the senate floor to come up with the specifics on this continuing resolution. We are 14 minutes and 12 seconds into one year since the inauguration. This kay, on january 20 on this day. We are in a place where technically there is a partial shutdown of the u. S. Government. Shannon it is, again, phases in slowly, there is discretion in a lot of agencies. Some dont have any at all. As you speak of senator kennedy, republican from louisiana, also said this, he said our country was founded by geniuses but its being run by idiots. Bret yeah. Shannon hes very quotable, you hear the frustration in his voice. Hes not a longtime washington guy. Hes here and sees its not, both sides of the aisle would admit, its not functioning according to order. Bret this is my last senator kennedy, be yourself, unless you suck. I think theyre going to get to something here. It seems like theyre breaking up. We may be getting to a conclusion. When they get to the lecterns there, and once you start hearing the audio from the senate floor, you know that theyre moving forward. Remember, this vote failed. They did not get the 60 votes on the original house bill, that was a continuing resolution for four months. Included six years of renewal for the Childrens Health insurance policy. We may be getting close to an alternative at this moment. Shannon all right, bret, stick around, well see what they come up with. Looks like ak tiflt may be moving forward to a statement on the senate floor. Analysis continues, now, on Fox News Channel and cable and satellite. More your local news on this fox station. Im Shannon Bream in washington. Shannon were back with coverage. The senate gives a thumbs down to the house spending bill or getting to a vote on the content. House Republican Congress doug collins responds, hes going to join us live in the coverage of the shutdown showdown, it is official, from washington. Well take you back to the senate. This is laura. And butch. And tank. And tiny. And this is lauras mobile dog grooming palace. Laura can clean up a retriever that rolled in foxtails, but shes not much on articles of organization. Articles of what . So, she turned to legalzoom. They helped me out. She means we helped with her llc, trademark, and a lot of other legal stuff thats a part of running a business. So laura can get back to the dogs. Would you sit still . This is lauras mobile dog grooming palace and this is where life meets legal. Shannon Mitch Mcconnell is now speaking. As you witnessed on the floor, was a Senate Decision by Senate Democrats to shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political gains. The Government Shutdown was 100 avoidable. Completely avoidable. Now, it is imminent. All because Senate Democrats chose to fill bust area noncontroversial funding bill that contains nothing, not a thing, they do not support. Nothing they do not support. Perhaps across the is a some of our democratic colleagues feel proud of themselves. But what has their filibuster accomplished . What has it accomplished . Answer is simple, their very own Government Shutdown. Shutdown effects on the American People will come as no surprise. All week as weve stood on the floor and begged our colleagues to come to their senses, Senate Republicans have described exactly, exactly what this will mean for americas men and women in uniform, shutting down the government means delayed pay. The many thousands of civilian employees who support their misses its means furloughs. And for the families of fallen heros it may well mean a freeze on century vooifor death benefits survivor death benefits. Veterans who rely on our care, it means threatening their access to treatment. For so Many Americans struggling with opiod addiction, the same is true. Thanks to the democratic leader decision to filibuster an extension of the state Childrens Health insurance program, low income families will slip closer to losing Health Coverage for their kids. And many states this is an emergency. Im having trouble understanding which one of these outcomes my democratic colleagues could possibly be proud of. Which one of them . I think our friends on the other side took some bad advice. Really bad advice. I would hate to be trying to explain this myself. Ignore the governors, including seven democrats who wrote congress begging us, begging us to extend chip for 9 million children. Ignore the needs of millions of americans would rely on the federal government for important services. Held all of us hostage, all of it hostage over the completely unrelated issue of illegal immigration. Republicans in the senate have gone all we can to continue the normal operations of the federal government. And secure certainty for the schip kids. We can pass it tonight and go to the president for signature. These kids would be okay. Well were going to continue to do all we can, well vote again so the American People know who stands for them. And when our friends across the aisle remember who it is they ac
