thanks for joining us. republicans will have a few days to pass a massive spending bill. if not, partial government shutdown is a very real possibility. white house office of management and budget director tells fox news there will be no shutdown and he is confident a deal will be reached. doug mccowan is live in washington. what are the realistic chances of a government shutdown? well, they appear to be slim but yesterday mick mulvaney said they need to fund some of the president s top priorities. well, as you can imagine, that did not sit well with democrats. chuck shumer s office fired back, quote, everything has been moving smoothly until the administration moved in with a heavy hand. not only are democrats opposed to the wall, there is significant republican opposition as well.
meaning democrats are playing the role of obstructionists now. that s not how it will be portrayed in main stream media. it helps to explain the president s tweet this morning in which he wrote, quote, no matter how much i accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, and it has been a lot, including supreme court, media will kill. we shall see. sandra, back to you. sandra: all right, doug. thank you. san francisco experiencing a power outage across a large section of the city leaving tens of thousands in the dark. many local businesses are closed, courthouses shutdown and at least one subway station is dark. residents are being told to call 911 in case of emergencies. no word so far on what caused that outage. tractor trailer driver in california unwittingly dragging a car.
