0 what we expect is when the senate is back at 2:00, they may spend part of the afternoon talking about some of the substantive issues within the bill. you ll be seeing senators manchin and toomey whose names are now totally associated with the expanded background checks measure. available on the senate floor to talk to their colleagues, to try to proverbially twist arms. we expect a vote will come wednesday. so what it really falls down to, chris, are a very small number of senators who are considered on the fence. and we know that the majority of democrats are in favor of this, the majority of republicans are not. and there are a few senators who are not yet disclosing which way they will go they re studying it, they re reviewing it, they have different political circumstances as well. that could shape this. but it is a critical 48 hours for this measure. i want to talk about you because i think most people have made their minds up. we ve got kay hagen for north carolina. saying sh
0 the talks if you want to. the problem is no one has seen kim jong g un since april 1. steve: today will they wind up sending off that rocket as is expected? because the grandson has not been seen on the world stage for the last two weeks, there s been some suggestion, has there been a coup? is something going on behind the scenes? has the military taken over? actually they figure since there s been no unusual military movement, the answer is probably no. but the question is: has north korea been forced to tone down the rhetoric against the united states and south korea? and not do anything? gretchen: i think it s part of the overall strategy of when you re a nut you behave like a nut and you go into hiding to have people talk a little last week which i think is important to point out once again which is is this all a ruse to keep away the real attention on the way in which north korea treats its own people? to me, that was the one thing that stuck in my head from last week. yeah,
wanted? no. but does it at least help in some small way? no. probably not. it doesn t. good day, i m chris cillizza, live in washington, where the next step for gun legislation is a senate numbers game. nbc news political unit has confirmed that the majority support for the background check amendment that will be offered by toomey and manchin. but the bill is still short of the 60 votes it would need to be added to the larger package. joining me for our daily fix, is nbc capitol hill correspondent, kelly o donnell. kelly o, give us the timing. this is the first amendment that will be offered. give us some sense of the timing of it and where this sort of head-counting stands on the vote. yes you need a spread sheet or a calculator today to keep things going. what we expect is when the senate is back at 2:00, they may spend part of the afternoon talking about some of the substantive issues within the bill. you ll be seeing senators manchin and toomey whose names are now t
0 real public dialogue, and i think you re doing to see a lot of critics in the conservative side try to amend the bill, maybe water it down and change some of the provisions, including that path to citizenship. i think all eyes are on marco rubio, one of the members of the gang who is deeply conservative and popular among hispanics as well. he s got a critical role to play. he s going to be on all the sunday talk show this is week trying to talk about what s in this bill and we re going to see at least one public hearing next week. so i think the president is hoping to get a bill by the end of the summer and i think you re going to see a lot of negotiating going on but i think a lot of people think this is the right time because of bhand in the election, the support obama got from latino voters and republicans trying to reach out as well to that same voting demographic. david, lauren, always good to see you both. thank you. now that the senate has voted to debate its first piece
