Congress set to hold votes that have very little chance of pass i ing. As the warning signs and ripple effects of the shutdown get worse, i want to play you the commandant of the u. S. Coast guard whose 40,000 members are serving without getting paid. Were five plus weeks into the anxiety and stress of this government lapse. You should not be expected to shoulder this burden. I find it unacceptable that coast guard men and women have to rely on food pantries and donations to get through day to day life as service members. It should be unacceptable. Phil mattingly is on capitol hill. Can you talk us through what is going to happen or rather not happen today . Reporter something is happening which is a significant improvement from the baseline of nothing is happening,sentially. Basically whats happening right now is there is an agreement to have votes on proposals that are likely going to fail. The democratic proposal to reopen the government until february 8th on one hand.

That doesnt include a wall, its dead as 4 00. Let me just also make clear that what the president proposed yesterday, increasing border security, looking at tps, looking at the dreamers, ill use that as a starting point, but youve got to start by opening the government.

Hill. There is a lot of talking past each other. It was a ghost town because you didnt pop up on my screen. There is a lot of talking past each other. Where do things stand right now . Reporter it is still at an impasse. If you want to talk about things that are going to happen this week, there is going to be legislative movement. We have seen House Democrats move bill after bill after bill to try to reopen the federal government all of which has been rejected by the president and as such was rejected by mitch mcconnell. This week the senate is going to try to move its own proposal, one that closely mirrors what the president laid out this weekend.
