whether or not we have a shutdown tonight, he says. he ups there won t be one, but he is prepared to write it out if there is. jessica tarlov, sorry. the three yes, that s what you would expect for him. he was a little bit better on twitter about nancy pelosi, where he said i did win, it s okay, she does need to apologize for her mistake. that s what we would expect. the procedure vote, yes, but i don t see where the boat comes from. melissa: we didn t see where it would come from of the house i can either pray that wasn t jessica: what no caps are they going to be picking up? elizabeth: my former editor, jim michaels he has now since gone to heaven used to call this a tedious of self-righteousness. i thought he feels going on. we have had only four instances since 1977 where the congress has passed appropriations and spending bills on time. thus the context.
the next election, blah, blah, blah, i also think she likes to wheel and deal like the president does. maybe they can get something done if she s there. am i crazy? lawrence: may be a lot of spending done. things like that. let me push back on this new progressive caucus. actually have a lot of respect for them, even though i disagree with their ideology. they actually believe the majority of them believe what they believe. what i mean, it s like the freedom caucus. were they going to learn is that it s not so much about this vot. it s about the procedure vote and what they can get done to stop and delay the stuff from going onto the floor. right now they are young and fresh and they think it s about the speakership. what they are going to learn is that it s not about that. they are going to be able to delay. i guarantee, they will be the same side of the freedom caucus on a lot of these issues. because both of them are fighting for the heart and soul of their ideologies. harri
find new and even more creative ways to tear one another down. it s got to end. this is not who we are. so, alex, that s lisa murkowski pushing back against a process that both senators have essential seen as a circus, now what we want confirmation politics to look like. we ll see this come to a conclusion in about four hours. can i ask you to clarify something? it s expected that lisa murkowski will use the word present not actually cast her vote. is that to counter steve daines, because he s at his daughter s wedding? this is an old-school senate procedural move in which a pairing, where two senators make a deal. so steve daines will stay in montana, and murkowski who said she was a no on the procedure vote, would have been a no

leadership does indeed have the votes that they need to get this passed through tonight in the house at least the first step of a two-step process. i saw speaker of the house paul ryan walk from his office to the floor smiling. certainly a lot of drama at least on his side. out and really ironed out in the last hour after he ws able to secure the house freedom caucus on board this bill. they had certainly been withholding their votes for most of the day. we will be watching this vote along with you. the magic number 215 votes that the republicans need to get this passed. an accounting for certain vacancies and steve scalise out recovering from surgery. when it gets passed through tonight and believe it s a win, big problem still over in the senate, we believe the senate will be pushing towards having a procedure vote tonight. a lot here erin, a lot to be determined.
