As you mentioned, the car is circling earth at this hour. It will be sent toward mars to actually orbit around the sun and mars and, david, if it survives out there, it could be out there for a billion years. A billion years.

Well let you know how this storm ends, because i know you begin Maternity Leave now. We wish you well. Not right at this moment, but yes. Soon. And by the way, david is a pretty good name. Keeping it in mind. We turn to other news tonight, and President Trumps new threat on immigration, saying today he would, quote, love to see a Government Shutdown, if continue dung agree to a plan. Blaming the democrats. But creating some confusion with that remark, repeatedly saying bring on the shutdown. And the president s chief of staff with words of his own making headlines tonight, about what he said concerning t ining the dreamers. Heres Abcs Cecilia Vega tonight. Reporter the deadline to keep the government open just two days away, but today President Trump stunned even members of his party when he declared, bring on a shutdown. Lets have a shutdown. Well do a shutdown. Reporter it was during a meeting on ms13 gang violence. The president saying he wants tougher immigration restrictions or else. Id love to see a shutdown, if we dont get this stuff taken care of. And if we have to shut it down because the democrats dont want safety, then shut it down. Well go with another shutdown. Reporter again and again the president went there. Without borders, we dont have a country. So, would i shut it down over this issue . Yes. Reporter so many times, republican congresswoman Barbara Comstock called him out. We dont need a Government Shutdown over this. I think both sides have learned a Government Shutdown was bad, it wasnt good for them. Barbara, we are not getting support from the democrats. You can say what you want. Were not getting support from the democrats. Reporter but even as the president spoke, over at the capitol, Senate Leaders of both parties announced theyre close to a sweeping twoyear budget deal to avoid the recurring shutdown drama. Im optimistic that very soon well be able to reach an agreement. I am very hopeful that we can come to an agreement. Reporter the white house today doing damage control. We are not advocating for a shutdown. I dont think that we expect the budget deal to include specifics on the immigration reform. Reporter the shutdown, not the only looming deadline. In less than a month, protections begin to expire for the dreamers, those undocumented immigrants who came here at children. More than 690,000 people signed up for those protections. The president now wants to offer a path to citizenship for nearly double that number. Today, his chief of staff john kelly under fire for these comments. The difference between 690 and 1. 8 million were the people that some would say, were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy to get off their asses but they didnt sign up. Reporter is that the position of this white house, that dreamers are lazy . Who thinks this . Frankly, if anybodys lazy, its probably democrats who arent showing up to work and arent actually getting to the table to make a deal on this. So, lets get to cecilia vega, live from the white house tonight. And cecilia, again, the deadline for the dreamers less than a month away now. President trump said he might extend daca if theres no deal by then. But today, his chief of staff seemed to offer a different message on that front. Reporter exactly, david. John kelly told reporters today that he very much doubts the president will extend this deadline. In fact, he said he would advise the president against doing so, saying, quote, any time you give this institution time, they will take it. This white house very much wants to put the pressure on congress on this issue, but ive got to say, over on capitol hill, at this point, republicans and democrats are nowhere near close to reaching a deal. Cecilia vega with us again tonight. Thank you. And next, a jittery start to the day on wall street, after that record point drop yesterday. Worried traders at the opening bell at the dow fell another 500 points, swinging more than 1,000 points throughout the day before then closing sharply higher today, 24,912, up 567 points at the closing bell.
