That showdown over the Government Shutdown and money set to run out at midnight one year to the day from the president s inauguration and the ball is in the senates court after a vote in the house last night and our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce is on capitol hill with the latest. Good morning, mary. Reporter george, good morning. With just hours to go, there is no solution in sight. The house last night did passion a plan to temporarily keep the government open, but the shutdown threat remains and now this morning, all eyes are on the senate. Overnight, the house passing a plan to temporarily keep the government up and running. Republicans are now ramping up the pressure on senate democrats. House Speaker Paul Ryan daring them to shut down the government. The only people standing in the way of keeping the government open are senate democrats. Whether there is a Government Shutdown or not is now entirely up to them. Reporter but several Senate Republicans arent sold on the plan and a Strong Majority of democrats oppose it. The house bill is a joke and it does not have my support. Reporter theyre demanding any deal including action to protect d. R. E. A. M. Ers, those nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. As children. Democrats argue if there had a shutdown, republicans and the president are to blame. Our republican leader has said that he will not negotiate until he knows where President Trump stands. Thats why negotiations havent gotten anywhere. Reporter there is a bipartisan proposal on the table but the president rejected it. You need to be a street fighter in many ways to clean up washington, but you also need to be the president of all of us. Theres a time to fight and theres a time to deal. It is now time to deal. Reporter now, the blame game is already well under way here. Republican leaders say democrats are Holding Funding hostage to get what they want on d. R. E. A. M. Ers while democrats say republicans will ultimately be to blame for any shutdown because theyre in control here on the hill and at the courthouse. Well bring in jon karl as well and, jon, lets begin with you. Yesterday you said the president was m. I. A. He got involved then after our program kind of complicated matters. Reporter he did. He suggested he was actually against or had problem with the republican plan to kind the government open. That was early in the morning but by the end of the day the president was actively engaged in getting those conservatives the Freedom Caucus suggesting they would vote no and now you have this die maynamic where b sides are convinced that the other side will pay the price for a shutdown. That is a recipe for a drawn out stalemate. Mary, that means we dont have a real good sense of how this will unfold today. Kind of in uncharted waters. Reporter exactly. We know theyre moving forward on track to have this but all signs indicate that would likely fail. Now, i have talked to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who are now calling for a short, shortterm extension, just a tum of extra days to buy themselves time to negotiate but leadership doesnt seem to be on board with that. Right now, george, its hard to see how they can avoid this shutdown. That means a shutdown could come and jon karl does the administration have their contingency plans in place. Reporter every Single Agency has put up a guidance. This one for the department of Homeland Security on their website for the contingency plan of what would happen. This for Homeland Security is 45 pages long but what is happening now is you will see the Administration Try to make the case that democrats are hurting the military, hurting children. Causing pain because they are pushing us towards a shutdown. The president is scheduled to fly marg later today. I am told he will not going if we are headed to a shutdown. Thanks very much. Just going to impact a lot of people. We will talk about that because it could have a major impact on millions. For more we bring in tom llamas. Good morning. Break it all down. Reporter we just heard from mary and jon, the blame game is on in d. C. About this potential shutdown but the ones who stand to lose the most are the american people. Lets take a closer look. First up the american economy. Back in 013 the last time a shutdown it happened it cost the economy 1. 5 billion a day. Why . Government funds are put on hold. If they hut down two things you dont have to worry about mail and air travel. But if there is a shutdown the last time this happened in 2013 nearly 800,000 federal employees were without pay. More than a million delayed p paychecks including Service Members who arent paid until later. Looking to buy a home your loan could be put on hold because of those Government Funds that arent up and running, now, in case you were wondering, members of congress, will they still get paid . The ones responsible for the shutdown, of course, they will still get their paychecks because their salaries are written into permanent law and in case anyone is wondering essential military services will be still up and running even if there is a shutdown. The president tweeting. I want to bring in matthew dowd for more on that. And the president many says the democrats needed to pass it but blames them. They want illegal immigration and borders, shut down coming. So this gets into the question of who will bear the blame for this shutdown . This would be the first time it happened with republicans in control of the house, the senate and the white house. Oh, i am sorry. I thought you were talking to jon. This is a high stakes poker game. If this was a Texas Hold Em tournament the democrats hole cards are much higher. The last time one party held all this and a shutdown occurred in the 70s, that historical president where jimmy carter ended up losing the presidency in 1980 and democrats lost seats in the house in the senate in 1978 is not a good precedent so right now i think the odds favor if there is a shutdown politically its going to benefit the democrats. And coming on the Year Anniversary, would come on the Year Anniversary if it comes of the president s inauguration and he heads into his second year, the lowest Approval Rating for any president starting a second year. Yeah, george, the traditional gift as you know of a First Anniversary is paper. And i think this president wants a bill written on paper he can sign on his First Anniversary all headed to a situation, very unpopular president and congress and republican party, the democrats are not that much more popular. Its a perfect storm of bad politics in a Midterm Election year that could cause huge problems come november. Long day in the capital. Matt dowd, thanks very much. Michael.
