Until the federal government runs out of fundinging. The oneyear anniversary of President Trumps inauguration. Yesterday evening, the house passed a fourweek extend of funding the help with the Freedom Caucus. A bipartisan deal is within reach. Ive been part of those negotiations on all these issues. And now is the time to reach it. Not a month from now. Im not going to vote for a 30day continuing resolution. The house said they did their job. How much money did the Defense Department get from the house bill . This is the fourth cr. Every time we have a continuing resolution, it costs the military billions of dollars. I want to do two things. I want to fund the military and deal with daca and were not going to get one without the other. Im tired of playing this stupid game. The public hates the way we do business. Count me in. Im willing to keep the government open days, not weeks, to get a deal that we should have got a year ago. And Arizona Republican jeff flake affirmed his opposition late last night saying, quote, i had a commitment to have a daca vote on the floor by the end of january. Then all of a sudden, the condition was put on if the president supports it. We dont know what the president actually supports. Senator Mitch Mcconnell said he would cancel the senates weekend recess if no agreement can be reached and said a fourday extension could not be voted on last night because he had to consult with the president. The presidency under our constitution system is not irrelevant. Hes the person who signs things into law. And for most of us in the house and senate on the republican side, were interested in what his views are. And those have not been made fully apparent yet. Coming up on morning joe, senator Bernie Sanders will weigh in on the funding showdown set to take place in the senate today. And President Trump may be leaving for florida this afternoon amid had concerns of a Government Shutdown. According to bloomberg, the president will mark the oneyear anniversary of his inauguration with a galla at his maralago resort tomorrow night. Tickets for the event reportedly start at 100,000 a pair which includes a dinner and photo with the president. For 250,000, couples can also take part in a round table with the president. The will benefit the trump president ial campaign and the rnc. President trump will leave for florida around 4 30 this afternoon. The president was asked about his possible trip yesterday in pennsylvania. I really believe the democrats want to shut down to get off the subject of the tax cuts. The president was in a district in pennsylvania yesterday that he won by 19 points and couldnt resist throwing his base some red meat. Anybody unhappy with the 401 k . I dont think so, right . Wow. We can keep it like this, were going to win a lot of elections. That i can tell you. Its something. No, its something. Its the economy, stupid. Did you ever hear that one . Its the economy. It is, indeed. Were putting america back to work and were ensuring the forgotten men and women of our country are never, ever forgotten again remember, the deplorables. The deplorables. Were all the deplorables. Who would have thought that was going to turn into a landslide. Who would have thought that was not a good phrase that she used. Oh, some things youd like to have back. All right. The president also appeared with special election candidate for the house rick saconi. The Pennsylvania Republican greeted the president on the tarmac, appeared on stage and the president called him a, quote, great guy and a special person. Earlier in the day, the president tweeted that he was going to pennsylvania not to promote the economy, but to give the republican candidate his, quote, total support. Yet the white house insisted that trumps trip was to talk about tax cuts and not to campaign. A Campaign Event would require the president s Reelection Team to reimburse the treasury for some of trumps travel expenses. And the rift between President Trump and white house chief of staff john kelly may have widened. The New York Times reports that trump was livid when he learned kelly told some democratic lawmakers on wednesday that he had evolved on the wall adding that trump, quote, had not been fully informed when he promised to build it last year. According to a person familiar with trumps thinking, the president s furry grew wednesday evening as he fielded calls with allies who describes kellys comments as undermining him. Trump reportedly vented his anger. Trump denied he had changed his position on the wall tweeting in part, quote, the wall is the wall. It has never changed or evolved in the first day i conceived of it. Deputy secretary raj shaw told reporters President Trump was venting about how the media handl handled kellys comments and during his factory tour he denied kelly made the comments. I think hes doing a great job. He is a very special guy. [ inaudible question ]. What . [ inaudible question ]. No, he didnt say that. Well, i dont think he said it the way you would like him to say that. Joining me now, Jonathan Swan and alex sites. Welcome to you both. Good morning. Thanks for joining me at 5 00 a. M. On a friday. I appreciate it very much. Jonathan, im going to start with you on this shutdown thing. Does it happen today . If so, for how long will it last . How do you see this whole thing playing out . Well, i think Lindsey Graham in your clip earlier sort of tipped his hand to where a lot of the conferences, where he said im willing to keep the government open for days, not weeks, and that was a really important phrase because it suggests and it backs up conversations i had yesterday with some senior people in the Democratic Senate caucus which is that there are probably a lot of members that dont want to shut down the government. That may be willing to do one last shortterm sort of patch maybe for five days or something, a clean bill with nothing attached to it to give them one last chance to actually negotiate, sit down and get something done. But, you know, theres a real risk that it could happen. Because you have a very receiptive Democratic Caucus who dont trust the president , who dont believe that theyve been negotiatinging in good faith with Republican Leadership and you have Republican Leadership that want their priorities and, you know, you have two immovable objects at the moment. Well see if one side blinks. Alex, whats your predictions here . Do you see a fiveday place holder to figure this whole thing out, as well . I would agree with jonathan that i think that is a likely scenario. If youre a betting man or woman, you can make betts on this. Right now, the markets say 38 , which i think a lot of people in washington said its higher than that likelihood of a shutdown. Ultimately, neither sides wants a shutdown. I think theres a chance that theyll blink sometime in the next few hours. But as jonathan said, its going to be short. It probably wont resolve the big issues. And we could be back exactly where we are today, a few days from now. One final point, its not just Democrats Holding this up, and they are a major factor, but they wanted to force a vote last night on the senate floor to show that republicans didnt have the 51 votes that they need to pass it themselves. So lets talk about that, jonathan. Whats the president s role in all this . As weve heard had over and over, the president said if there is a Government Shutdown, it is the democrats fault which is hard for me honestly to understand considering the fact that the government is run by the republicans on all accounts. Well, let me just give you a small window into the president s role in this. Yesterday morning after he tweeted quite confusingly saying that the Childrens HealthInsurance Program shouldnt be part of this should be part of the longer Term Solution which directly contradicted the House Republican strategy, i was texting with members of Republican Leadership and theyre all trying to decipher what the president meant. There were different theories. Was he confused, did he not understand that it was a sixyear fix. And the general consensus settled into we dont know, he probably doesnt know what hes talking about but you know what . Were going to pass the bill, anyway, and its going to have no effect. So i think you could almost replicate that kind of if you look at the senate, hes not going to have a decisive role one way or the other because frankly, there arent enough members of congress or members of the senate that donald trump can personally sway one way or another. Alex, how do you think that sort of line is affecting everything and affecting his negotiations, if at all . You have heard people from both sides of the aisle saying basically the president doesnt know what hes talking about. He doesnt really even understand what a Government Shutdown look like. Yeah. Weve seen a number of instances of the president undermining his partys own position by seeming to not understand the policy. The fisa vote last week would be another example of that. Part of the reason were in this crisis in the first place is that famous expletive heard around the world where both parties went to the house thinking they had a deal and trump blew it up. So he couan be a destructive foe in these negotiations. He wants to blame this on congress and historically to show the president can rise above the politics in a shutdown crisis. But i think a lot of that is people gravitating towards his ability and trump has not been projecting a lot of stability in this moment. Jonathan, i want to talk quickly about President Trumps relationship with general kelly here. Where do you sort of give me the in between here. What do you actually see is going on in the white house . So, look, last night sorry, whatever night it was. I believe it was wednesday night when general kelly did his interview for fox muss. I got a message from somebody who is personally very close to the president who spends a lot of time with the president and they said to me that was a train wreck of an interview. And i said, really . Because i actually just watched it. I thought he was sort of fairley normal interview. And they said no, no, go back and watch it. General kelly in the interview presents himself its almost like he scripted the interview to irritate the president. He presented himself as the mature adult in the room. You know, patiently educating the naive, uninformed trump, sort of neanderthal like into his evolutionary process to on this key issue of the wall. And trump, you know, tweeted about it yesterday, but did not mention kelly and really thats the first time weve seen a public break with kelly. Theres a lot happening behind the scenes, but its probably too short a segment for me to get into. Alex, do you think theres an expire by date for kelly . It seems like theres an expire by date for everybody in trumps orbit. Theyll do something or Say Something or just be being around too much, their time has come. I think probably a lot of people, perhaps including general kelly himself, have been disappointed that he hasnt been able to implement more order and stability in the white house and that could be coming to a head at some point. Jonathan swan, alex, thank you both. Were going to talk to you in a little bit. Much more on the looming Government Shutdown, including how the Childrens HealthInsurance Program, c. H. I.

In the wake of the me to movement, the house has released legislation that would require members of congress to pay their Sexual Harassment settlements themselves. The bill, known as the Congressional Accountability Act comes after months of Sexual Harassment allegations that have led to the resignation or riempt of half a dozen members of congress. According to nbc news, the new legislation not only holds the accused accountable, but it gives victims more rights and resources when they file a Sexual Harassment complaint. In addition, it simplifies the process and seeks to provide more public transparency. Lets get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. Bill, were looking forward to a weekend warmup, but its still cold the in florida. Especially the afternoons will feel nice. Theres no snowstorms on the way. A rain event as we head towards tuesday of next week. But freeze warnings continue for florida, down through orlando and bartow. Yesterday was 28 degrees at this time and now were at 36. There is a noticeable improvement. Mississippi is in the 20s. Dallas, now the warmup has begun in texas. Again, its still very cold. And its interesting because were still at 20 in jackson, mississippi. Its colder in jackson, mississippi than it is in burlington, vermont. Its unusual for the south to be colder than the northeast or even the ohio valley. Were shifting the winds out of the south so eventually the warm air will move up from the south from the gulf of mexico and cover the country. Lets talk about the january thaw. We start today. The expanded warmth shown in the orange colors, once you get up into the red, thats 15 to 20 degrees above normal. Denver, 65 degrees today. Minneapolis at 41. Typically youre in the low 20s for highs. This is unusually warm in minneapolis. Saturday, some of that warmth shows up on the east coast. D. C. Should be around 50 to 55. By sunday, even charlotte, who had 4 inches of snow earlier this week heads up to 63 degrees. This is the january thaw a lot of us were waiting for. If youre like me, this will be the weekend to finally get those Christmas Decorations from outside. Come on, bill, youre better than that. Its been so cold. A little late. Very late, i know. Seems a little lazy, bill. One more for you here. This is a pretty inkres credible video. Pope francis came to the rescue of a Police Officer yesterday. The horse got spooked.
