revelation you didn't expect to come out. the calendar doesn't change nor does the to-do list. they get back from thanksgiving break, go back to washington next week, clock starts. where does it go from there? >> before anything else, congress has to pass a short-term spending bills. it expires exactly two weeks from today. so on tuesday, president trump is going to be meeting with congressional leaders to figure out how to avoid a government shutdown. first, they have to agree on total government spending levels. that hasn't even happened yet. and then they have to write the funding bill for the rest of the fiscal year. and don't forget daca, democrats may try to use that for leverage. and then president trump's top priority, tax reform, promising massive tax cuts by christmas. so a lot to do and not a lot of time. >> thanks so much for covering it all for us. more on this, we'll bring in kelly jane torrance. thanks for coming in.
