In fact its after midnight when they gafl back into session. It will be a new day which procedurally will allow them to hold the 1 00 a. M. Vote weve been talking about the last couple of hours. Thats the next step. How did we get here . Keep in mind senate leaders, republicans and democrats say they know they have the votes to pass this . Why has it not moved forward . The crux of the issue is senator rand paul wants vote on an amendment that restores the budget caps which this does away with. Senator paul making clear this deal was crafted last minute put on the floor and filed last minute. There have been no amendments allowed on either side. He is asking for a simple vote. Republican leaders are not giving it to him. Until they give it to him he is not yielding back any time. And we are clearly headed to a shutdown. The issue right now is Republican Leaders and Democratic Leaders are very concerned if you open up the deal, give people amendments that things unravel. Senator schumer making clear if senator paul wants a vote i have guys wanting votes as well. As such they have resisted the request to give senator paul amendment. Now what this means Going Forward is this. There is a time agreement, a time that will laps over the course of the next two hours allowing them to start moving in the senate. Thats after the shutdown deadline. But the senate will move and will pass something at some point in the Early Morning hours likely around twourt or three. Another big issue is that doesnt end the game. It gets sent back across the capitol where there are other issues. House democrats are frustrated there is no daca resolution in sight. Immigration is not dealt with and not given a firm enough commitment in their words that the speaker will address the issue at some point in the near future. Basically the senate has the votes. But hasnt been able to move it forward yet. The house, nobody sure if they have the votes but havent gotten anything to move on yet. The best Case Scenario as it currently stands is this probably about a 5 and a half to 6 hour shutdown. Thats when the house is scheduled to vote. Worst case, the house doesnt have the votes and we move to full blown shutdown. But we seem to do this every 17 days or so. Youre rmgts much too young to remember abbott and costello, who is on first . This was a major breakthrough in the sense of taking major crisis off the moving shutdown to shutdown. Debt ceiling, all this stuff taken off the table for a lengthy period of time. It was a bipartisan deal and while announced by the senate exactic and Republican Leaders. The house leaders were involved in crafting the deal from the beginning and yet still havent figured out a way to avoid a shutdown because of the lastminute nature. Because they waited until the last second to actually move it through. I can understory, the reason there is frustration with congress. But there are a lot of members frustrated right now it got to this point. And frankly, don, it keeps getting to this point even when they feel like they. Even they waited until the last minnesota. Everyone thought this is happening. This was not expected, right. No it wasnt. If you went into this morning everything people paid attention to was in the house. That was the question. Where are the House Democrats going to be . Keep in mind, speaker ryan are very concerned about the extent of the spending. 300 billion on the budget side. Another 102 billion por disaster relief. There are a core group of republicans roeting against it. That means leader pelosi and the democrats need to give votes to get it across the finish line. Leader pelosi says dont telegraph where you are on this. Dont let us lose leverage. Because of that Republican Leaders are still in the dark whether or not they have the votes. No, we didnt think we would have the issue in the senate. We knew there were issues in the house. And at this point those arent resolved. I dont know how you do live shots with another reporter i can hear echoing behind you. So nice job. Stick around because well need you. On capitol hill for us again at the capitol with another Government Shutdown looming. I want to bring in cnn contributor and frank bruni and oped columnist more the new york times. How are you. Have you ever seen things this dysfunctional in washington. Yes. I was thinking of the who lyrics, meet the New Washington same as the old washington. We have seen this before. We had a shutdown a lot of this stuff during the obama years. But it needs to be said that donald trump supposedly came to washington to positively disrupt it and get us away from the old zrer on theic dysfunctional ways. Here we are with a washington that looks at at least dysfunctional and maybe more so. This is since the last shutdown. 17 days ago. Monday january 22nd. We found out the president said he would like to testify before mueller under oath. His lawyers said not so fast. The president want to the davos. Melania went to florida. The president tried to fire mueller land june. Deputy director Andrew Mccabe out at the fbi. The state of the Union Address happened. The president released the nunes memo. The president accused exacts of being treasonous and unamerican for not applauding his state of the union speech. The president wants a military parade. The pentagon is planning it. Chief of staff kelly suggested immigrants who didnt sign up for dak an didnt get off the couch. My gosh how much more do we have in . They sent a democrats memo to white house. Bannon and lewandowski refused to testify on the hill. Possible subpoenas coming. The stock market hit all time high and plunged 10 . The white house staff the staff secretary out amid Domestic Violence allegations. Still no debate on the daca vote. Because of the last shutdown. I mean less than an hour away. I cant believe all this happened. My head is spinning. Is yours. It has been ever since a certain day a year ago in november. But that crawl, the list you read, the crawl that came down, in a weird way that is this administrations and Donald Trumps saving grace. We talked about this before. So much happens. If you took one or two things in a two or three, week period. They would be the discussion for a week a month. Donald trump calling democrats treasonous. Certainly the rob porter story because its going away faster than it should. Because the crawl next week will be like this. It happens in this blizzard of stuff. It becomes a field of confusing white to everyone. You think you think the porter thing will go away. Maybe youre right. Only because the next scandal will be here in three days. The next after that in four days a and incidental stuff in four days. Multiple people in the white house including first and foremost john kelly knew about this stuff. This they stuff stared at the details of this if they didnt. And they decide to do didnt sound like much, didnt matter to them, or decided to ignore it because they just had other things they wanted to look at. I was thinking, last time you and i talked it was after a terrific Philadelphia Eagles player was on. You had a great conversation with him. In pro football, sport all about brutality. If you are guilty you sit out a couple of games. The Dallas Cowboys lost a star running back for six games. What happens to kelly do you think. What happens to kelly . Does he weather it. I dont think this dprgs can stand too much more turnover. Theres been more in the first year plus than any other administration. But john kelly is one of the most fascinating stories of the dprgs because when he came in, he was put in that mattis mcmaster, gary cohn box of one of the stable evenkeeled adults. He has repeatedly made news in a way that has bee smirchd the dprgs. John kelly. Proven to be the opposite. He was supposed to be putting out fires and he is starting then. Just a couple days ago his immigration remark about lazy people. And about the fact that he had a guy accused of Domestic Violence with evidence supporting it, couldnt get a security clearance and he was doing nothing. Looking the other way. Like in the saturday night live skit where nothing matters. Where it keeps going on and on. Adding insult to injury, which i think is unbelievable to me is the Communications Director is involved romantically with rob porter. She reportedly helped draft the original statement that praised him talked what a great guy and employee he was. But then they said she recused from some of the conversations. Should she have been anywhere near the situation. Of course not. A rhetorical question. The lines that exist for a reason in most administrations and white houses seem not to exist here. And most businesses and companies, right . Yes, donald trump and the people around him make up the rules as they go. There are certain people with favored status. Hope hicks is long one of them. She is coming back in the news again and again not looking good for the administration. But she clearly has favored status where she doesnt have to behave in the manner most would be expected to. Always fascinating conversation. Thank you, frank. Thank you. Appreciate it. Straight ahead more on the breaking news government to shut down in less than an hour.

The impasse on the senate floor appears to be placing the announced bipartisan deal by Mitch Mcconnell and Chuck Schumer on hold. I want to bring in jeff merkley. Senator, its a pleasure to have you on. Good to be here. The last time we spoke was january 19th, right before the last shutdown. Here we are. Why is this happening again, senator. Ill tell you last time we spoke we pushed for a threeday continuing resolution, the democrats were to keep the government open and keep people negotiating intensely. I predicted then the negotiations wouldnt really get serious until the last couple of days of a continuing resolution. And thats exactly whats happened. Here we are at the at last minute a big bill coming out a few hours ago, people trying to go through and understand whats in it. Of course the last moment speech and protest by rand paul, to make a very important point i might add. Senator, how are you going to explain in to your constituents back home. Well back home in oregon there are a couple of things that people care about that arent part of this bill. One of the key things is that despite the massive aid to texas and puerto rico and virgin islands. There is nothing addressing the massive fires that went through the northwest last summer and to prepare the stop the fires this coming summer. Thats a big deal left out of this bill. And second, a lot of concern that our community members, our dream erps, who have been treated so poorly by the administration will be left in limbo an amber period. That matters. Meanwhile, im going to say there is a bunch of things in the bill i fought for nar really important as well, for example, keeping the Health Clinics open. And proceeding to address the opioid epidemic. Those are some good things. Its got good things in it. More, tonight rand paul called out fellow republicans for hypocrisy in the budget plan after the gop criticized barack obama for adding to the u. S. Deficit for his time in his office. Is he right. He is absolutely right. We can go back to when the Republican Team was saying lets spend the government until its so small its breck and wont be able to spend more. Then the democrats come into office and say were sorry there is no way to address national problems. Were blocking anything you try era try to do to take on health care, education, infrastructure. And then when theyre back in office they start spending like drunken sailors. This bill represents an increase of about 150 billion a year, or another 1. 5 trillion over ten years. You add that they did on taxes thats another 3 trillion manufactured out of no where. Paul also said he said the American People will be updates that conservatives elected are not different than the people theyre criticizing. Is this an example of campaigning is different than governing, do you think . Well, ive always believed in the principle, you campaign on what you believe in and then you fight for the things you campaigned on. That doesnt seem to be the vision of the Republican Party. Immigration, its not even part of this deal. Everyone thought since daca was taken out that this wouldnt happen. Where does it all go from here . Everything depends upon President Trump. President trump, when he wants to say im the deal maker, as he did a couple of weeks ago when he brought in the house and the senate and the republicans and democrats and said, you all work out a deal, bring it to me ill sign whatever you have, ill take the heat, that individual has disappeared. Instead we have the president who wants to refer all immigrants as if theyre all gang members. And that sounds like someone who has tournd breitbart and decided to drive a Campaign Issue right into november by degrading the enormous contribution immigrants make to our country. If thats the mode he is in there is not a deal successful over restoring legal status for dream zbleers i want to ask you more about that. Why do you say it depends on him. I had Maizie Hirono on earlier. She said the less the president is involved in this process the more opportunity it has to be better and to come to some sort of agreement. It does show the craziness of the situation. But here is why im describing it this way. When we pass the immigration deal in 2013 we had members of the Republican Caucus and the Democratic Caucus come together, work out a deal, they had a stake in it. They were determined to do it and they had a president who supported it. But to get the 60 votes you have to have cooperation of the Republican Leadership. Otherwise rand paul calls up Mitch Mcconnell or the president calls him and says im okay with 55 or 56 votes but dont let it be 60 because i want this as a Campaign Issue. I want to denigrate immigrants. I want to portray them as gang members. I think thats our best bet so i dont want a deal. If that happens there wont be 60 votes in the senate. Thank you, senator. I appreciate it. Youre welcome, good to be with you don. When we come back under an hour when the government shuts down. And who is blame . Omarosa . How do you say it . Who is always sang the president s praises now going after him about tweets and describing the situation inside the white house as bad. Whats going on here . Thats next.
