going to happen. he is going to stay here at the white house until tomorrow at the earliest, maybe even longer depending on how this shutdown goes. shannon: a lot of people changing their travel plans, thank you very much. let s go live to peter doocy on capitol hill, lawmakers have checked out but we know they are in town. this is the hallway into the house chamber and normally within minutes of a huge vote like something to keep the government open at the shutdown deadline, it would be packed it s essentially empty except for a couple reporters because there was no vote. the senate decided much earlier in the day that they did not have the votes to pass the house approved a border wall funding measure so they just went home. the senate needs to take some action, the difficulty in the senate is it takes 60 votes so it really comes down to senator schumer. if he s going to shut the
next couple of hours, this could drag on a while. shannon: we know you ll be on it on the hill by yourself, we ll check in back with you. we couldn t get it done on the hill, perhaps we can find some common ground on fox news tonight, let s bring in the republican from arizona and the democrat from illinois senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said i think constructive talks are underway underway. what would it take to get your vote at this point? i think we need to keep $5 billion in there, that s less than one half of 1% of the total budget of this 25% bill we just did. we have to have a border wall because border security is imperative. knowing democrats won t vote for that. they are saying that. he didn t vote for it in the house but they say they want
