>> reporter: just to give you a sense of what's actually happening right now, you basically have three stages of where things are moving or not moving at all. you have speaker ryan's office where white house officials including legislative affairs director mark short have been shutting in and out. members of conference have been going in and out of meetings. a couple hundred feet away from that you have a senate floor. that's a place where you have relatively little action and that's a surprise. we expected numerous votes. senator mitch mcconnell stated that he wanted to in a way punish democrats for not agreeing to this bill. it's very clear at this moment they still don't have the votes to move forward on that short-term funding proposal. move about 20 feet away from the senate floor where senator chuck schumer is still holed up. i'm told that schumer and his team are continuing conversations with the white house at this hour trying to build on that 90-minute meeting
