and coming back to what happened today. based on where we are on the shut down. the third day here. i want to get the sense of what you re hearing. and the question is, was saying will the president still go to and can he go there with the over hang of a shut down not being solved? we re hearing the latest is there could be news on that tomorrow. depending on this vote that is supposed to happen at noon. the president could decide that he can t go to if the shut down continues. if there is a deal and if senate democrats and republicans are able to come up with something, sp vote for it. and president can sign it into law. the trip could be good. we think that there could be that tomorrow. some $30 billion a week.
now, tomorrow at noon a vote in the senate. that s tomorrow again. this could be the beginning of the end for the government shutdown. some are saying. at least for now. tempers were high between republicans and democrats this weekend. those who are talking with each other. and the trump campaign turned up the heat with a controversial ad. here s a part of that. that s illegal immigrant, charged with murdering two police officers. it s pure evil. president trump is right. build the wall. deport criminals. stop illegal immigration now. democrats who stand in our way will be complicent in every murder committed by illegal immigrants. back with us our panel. thank you all five for being with us. what do you make of this ad? those are critical of it saying it s a conflation at the wrong time.
that feeds into the narrative putin got what he wanted. is promote as much dysfunction as possible. the fundamental nature of this issue will not change. other than the fact that now thanks to durbin who has done a great service to republicans. who said this is all about daca. and taken that issue and married it up to a very unpopular government shut down. there s only so far the democrats will be able to drag this out before putting up the votes in order to reopen the government and restore some manner of functionality. and the leader mcconnell said they ll bring up the issues for a vote. and the legislative order should proceed. polling thot god for republicans as of now. on what americans are thinking. regarding who s at fault here. we ll see how it resonates in some of the decisions that will be made. by other republicans for who voted against the previous continuing resolution.
on is that the president not playing a role in this so far. and of course what he says by twitter could swing things either way. the president has not taken a leading role in the negotiations at least today. he really has seen fit to watch this all play out from his third floor perch here at the white house. i think his analysis was spot on. talking abt th esion of the trustetween the president and democrats. but even among some republicans. and so beyond this vote tomorrow, this procedural vote tomorrow at noon, as this deal comes together and as it plays out beyond february, you have to keep in mind and have to pay close attention to how the president s hard line views on immigration color this debate. especially as it relates to the border wall. in talking with people close to the president about this issue of the border wall. they say sort of the same version of the same version of the sail thing.
going to move forward. this he says we re regardless of what the white house will say, we ll be the senate. we ll move ahead. and we ll deal with the house and the white house. where do you think democrats are right now? is chuck schumer happy with this? they would have liked more of a commitment. a motion to proceed to a bill. a vote on a bill essentially the senate floor would take a procedural step in public before february 8. yes the problem with that unless you finish the immigration bill before february 8, when we have to deal with the next shut down, february 8. that kicks the bill off the senate calendar. and you can only bring it back if you have consent. we want to be able to start the immigration bill and finish the bill. that will give us time. what does that mean for where schumer is going to talk to members of his caucus. had they be receptive to this is the government will reopen
