of february. kate? >> with jim mattis gone, who is left with that kind of a position? maybe that is the whole point. jeremy, appreciate it. thank you so much. thank you all so much for joining me. inside politics with john king starts right now. thank you, and welcome to inside politics. i'm john king. thank you for sharing a chaotic day with us. the senate seconds ago gaveling at the session. mitch mcconnell and other republicans are waiting for them to show up at the white house, meeting with president trump. his demand? the impossible. the president's last minute protest yesterday did get him a big win in the house. $5 billion for the border wall and nearly $8 billion in disaster relief fund. the votes for the wall are not there in the senate. connell was there to tell the

president that again. emphasis on again. negotiators are furious with the president and he signalled he would be okay with a measure only to blow it up the day before the deadline and with christmas around the corner. the president only escalated on twitter today. the democrats and votes we need in the senate will probably vote against border security and the wall even though they know it is desperately needed. if the dems vote no, that will lead to a shut down that will last for a very long time. he said the democrats now own the shut down. democrats are mocking that. their leaders were in the oval office when the president bragged he would be proud to shut the government down in a fight over the border wall. manu, the senate majority leader, we expect him to speak any second now. he is not back yet. >> that's right. we expect this meeting to be one

of which republicans try to convince this president that there is no way for him to get the $5 billion in funding that he has demanded out of the u.s. senate. that will be abundantly clear that there will be a vote on the floor, a procedural vote to move forward on this measure. that vote will fair or the second one. either way, both sides know that the house bill that adds for the border wall and keeps the government afloat has no chance and the hope among the senators is that the president will go back to his position that the senators will lead that he supported to keep the government open until february 8th and punt it to the new congress. some are just getting back into town. they thought they were done for the year. i just talked to bob corker and the outgoing senator. he said he expects republicans to meet and try to discuss a way forward after this procedural vote and he had stark warnings

about the last 24 hours of events. he warned of tyranny the way president trump is handling the last 24 hours. he said do we succumb to tyranny of talk show hosts? this will be two host who influence the president. he said that's tyranny, isn't it? republicans and democrats agree. they are concerned about the turned events in the last day or so. >> don't wander too far away. we will be coming back once or twice or this rice. sharing reporting or insights, kaitlan collins and "the washington post," kim. if you listen to manu who knows how to count, it's impossible. mitch mcconnell told the president for more than a week. it's impossible. i can't get your border wall funding. i get why a president-elected will say vote anyway.

the house did that anyway. why didn't he ask for this on monday and tuesday to prove the votes are not there and you don't have a shut down before christmas? >> mitch mcconnell doesn't make predictions on things he did not think is going to happen. he said he didn't think there was going to be a government shut down. we are hurdling towards that in a matter of hours. the criticism from conservatives in the house freedom caucus and on the television and the radio got under his skin. he heard them saying he is back pedalling on his signature campaign promise. not just what they promised as no one thinks is going to happen. this is something he said every day on the trail. his supporters are rightfully upset and they don't get to your funding. it's a slim chance, but the last chance. the criticism got under his skin and that's why we are seeing this in a matter of hours. >> they made the mistake that most of us learned no the to

make. if the chief of staff said he will sign it and the vice president said he will sign it, don't accept that until the president tells you he will sign it and it might be dicy about that. >> we went through this last chaos when the house and senate passed the spending bill and heard the president should sign it, but after a day of backlash from conservative media for not getting the wall in march, we were on edge for that entire day. capitol hill learned not to believe approximate until they signed the bill. this is a classic example of that. they were confident from those word that is the president would sign this bill. it is not final until he does

something. >> it's the white house that was signalling a few days ago in sarah sanders's briefing. they will look for money from agencies and they signal we will continue to say we are not caving while doing that caving. that was the way it was covered and the president reacted to the way it was covered which was that he is caving. >> the biggest difference between now and march, that spending bill had a lot of money for the military. guess what was the biggest proponents? he was calling the president and the president was upset that they didn't have enough money. look at the money in here for the military. you should sign this. he was a big proponent. there was no one in the white house who said he needs to sign this bill. >> we focus on the politics and the chaos. there are 420 federal employees thinking merry christmas. or happy holidays or really? with the unpredictability of all of this. 420 federal employees could work without pay. it's up to the government.

380 will be on leave without pay. essential service continue. a lot of this is defining who is essential. we are not talking about the entire government. the justice department, state department and state department. why doesn't the president behave in a more predictable way. if you live here in d.c. -- >> a lot of people don't work in washington, d.c. federal workers are not just in a 10 mile radius of the capital. back in the days of march, the other push back to the president from republicans say we have a mitt term coming up. we could lose a lot of seats. you lost 40 seats and the house. and it doesn't matter. the reaction to the loss of the house has been a big -- doesn't matter. i'm just going to ring more cow bell and do the same thing i have been doing over and over again.

there really is nothing that could possibly be worse than we predicted we would lose the house and we did. it doesn't matter. i'm going to push ahead. when the president is happiest is as he is looking forward to his own election. when he is pitted against washington. he ran as the guy who would shake-up washington. let the folks in washington be the hand ringers. let them tell everybody things will fall apart. you shouldn't act this way. guess what. i got elected on that and got away from that. people said they were worried about the mid-term elections. i don't have to worry about that. i'm going ahead with my agenda. >> the flaw in thinking is that he has been president for two years and had a republican-controlled house and senate and didn't get the wall funded. now he can't blame that on congress because he was in control. they had an option to get that money. >> he will blame it on congress. >> people will see through that and white house aides are fully

aware of that. >> now you are looking at the situation to get it done. our country is counting on that. you can't use the nuclear option. it's the budget. leader mcconnell said more broadly, i'm not going to do that. we are two years in and i assume he understands the senate rules and the rules have been explained to him like nato. he keeps saying things that are not factual based because he likes to prove he is poking the bear. >> and sometimes poking the bear works. i think he liked his gopher at mitch tweet that helped push mitch mcconnell over the line. this one is not going to happen. mitch mcconnell made clear it's not an option. again he has spoken. >> republican members of the senate you see leaving the white house. the incoming chief of staff. the budget director. mitch mcconnell is way back. other senior republicans as well. the train is running late at the

moment. if you are having negotiations and making progress, it's a good thing. by all accounts, leader mcconnell would listen to the president. i do not have the votes for your wall. it's not just because of the democrats, i am going to lose enough republicans that you don't have your wall. let's gain this out. a normal responsible government if the president wanted this vote and he has every right to get everybody on the record, could have had it monday and tuesday. then you negotiate. the deadline is less dhan 12 hours away. it fails. the president is tweeting this will be a long shut down. is that a bluff? is there a plan b? is there a way out or any chance the democrats would give him half or a third of the money? everything tells me no. >> we're don't have a plan b. remember a couple of weeks ago with discussion among republicans that you give trump

the $5 billion and spread it out over a few years. democrats said no way. we are not giving him that money. once the senate takes up the bill with $5 million in border wall funding and it doesn't pass the senate, we don't know what's going to happen. democrats will take charge january 3rd and they will vote again to reopen the government. if the government is shut down, what does the president do? he will be in this very dug in position? >> no. democrats have the leverage. they don't have to give anything up. the white house is fully aware of that. there is a major disconnect not just between the president and senate republicans. some of them had trouble getting in because it was a last minute meeting and they had not been cleared by the secret service. between the president and his aides. maybe for the first few days, they can take that message and say this is your president fighting for the border wall. as a shut down lingers and grows

and goes on and it's three weeks of a shut down, it's not going to work. they will not be able to pin that on the democrats. that's what white house aides are saying. they are talking to him and fully realize that. they are in a lose-lose situation. >> speaking of optics. the president was scheduled for mar a lago. he is not leaving tonight. that is off the table. the optics, he will leave at some point, but the optics if a government shut down is going and he takes off for mar a lago to play golf is even worse. >> he said i will proudly own the shut down. >> proudly. we will work in a quick break. stay with us. strap in. this is your government at work, sort of. we are awaiting for what happened in the white house meeting and waiting for the senate to get about their business to take up the house version that gives the president his wall money, but the votes are not there in the senate.

we will watch it play out. another big story in washington. the defense secretary resigning because he has too many disagreements with the boss.

taking you straight to the floor of the u.s. senate. chuck schumer speaking on the impasse over whether there will abe government shut down. >> what's undoubtedly the most chaotic presidency ever in the history of the united states. the stock market is in a tumult and in decline. the secretary of defense, one of the only pairs of steady hands in our government, is resigning from the administration in protest. the united states is pulling out of syria and likely afghanistan, abandoning our coalitions, allies and the kurds and surrendering the field to putin, iran, hezbollah, isis, the taliban and basharal assad. the position of the defense sec of attorney general, of ambassador to the united nations

and even chief of staff to the president are all in flux. the institutions of our government lack steady and experienced leadership. with all of these departures, it's about to get more unsteady. the president is making decisions without counsel. without preparation, and even without communication between relevant departments and relevant agencies. all of this turmoil is causing chaos in the markets. chaos abroad and it's making the united states less prosperous and less secure. and to top it all off, president trump has thrown a temper tantrum and now has us careening towards a trump shut down over

christmas. in a short time, the senate will take part in a pointless exercise to demonstrate to our house colleagues and the president what everyone here already knows. there are not the votes in the senate for an expensive, taxpayer funded border wall. so, president trump, you will not get your wall. a band on your shut down strategy. you are not getting the wall today, next week, or on january 3rd when democrats take control of the house. just two days ago, the senate came together to support a proposal by leader mcconnell. unanimously, every democrat, every republican who extend government funding through february without partisan demands. what it would accomplish would be that the government would not shut down. the fights that we are having

would be postponed to a later day and millions of americans would not be hurt this christmas week. so let me repeat that. the senate, every democrat, every republican has already unanimously supported a clean extension of government funding. democrats supported the measure because we do not want to see the government shut down. we have no demands other than that. we had every indication the president would sign the legislation. as did our friends, the republicans on the other side of the aisle in the senate. but yesterday, president trump hounded by the radical voices of the hard right threw another temper tantrum and here we are once again on the brink of what the president has spent months saying he wanted. a trump shut down.

he will do his best to blame democrats, but it's flatly absurd. president trump called for a shut down no less than 25 times. in our meeting in the oval office, president trump said "if we don't get what we want, i, president trump, will shut down the government. i am proud to shut it down," said president trump " i am not going to blame you. i will take the mantle of shutting it down." nothing he says or does today can undo that. no democrat called for shutting it down. we are all working to avoid it. the president seems to relish it and seems to feel we will throw a bone to his base. the problem being, his base is less than one quarter of morning. mr. president, president trump, you cannot erase months of video

of you saying you wanted a shut down and that you wanted the responsibility and blame for a shut down. president trump, you own the shut down. you said so in your own words. and, president trump may get his wish unfortunately. it doesn't have to be this way. democrats have offered two alternatives and republicans, leader mcconnell offered one. democrats have offered to pass the six bipartisan appropriation bills plus a one-year continuation for homeland security. we also offered a one-year continuing resolution for all the remaining bills. republicans have offered to passe short-term continuing resolution through early february. each one of those proposals will pass the house, pass the senate.

each one of those proposals contains $1.3 billion of real border security. not a wall. there is no wall in those proposals. democrats support real border security, not a wall. by the way, that is in addition, in addition to the $1.3 billion in security congress allocated last year. the vast majority of which the trump administration has not yet spent. they are asking for loads of more money they haven't spent last year's money. it's clearly a political gambit by president trump to appease his never happy base. on the other hand, a trump shut down would result in zero dollars for the department of homeland security over the christmas holiday. so, there several ways for president trump and congressional republicans to avoid a shut down over

christmas. i mentioned three. there is only one way we will have a trump shut down. if president trump leans to his position for an unnecessary, ineffective, taxpayer funded border wall that he promised mexico would pay for. i yield the floor. >> chuck schumer speaking and we will watch and see what plays out in the senate. we are live in the united states senate waiting for a vote. the president demanded the senate take up a bill passed by the house to keep the government open that includes $5 billion with the senators and the republicans said cannot pass. we are waiting for the drama to play out. shuck schumer taking advantage of the majority leaders speaking first. normally he speaks second. speaking first and trying to connect the dots for the threat of a government shut down that starts at midnight to all of the other big contersies.

david gergen will join the conversation. you advised democrats and republicans and i guess despite that depth of experience, this is rather novel. >> it sure is. again, we are in unprecedented territory and it happens again and again. this is more dangerous for the country when you have a government shutting down. a nation sending messages and you may get slaughtered where the stock market is dropping and went down late this morning and went down again, going south. there is a lot of nervousness in the world and the more we have a shut down, the longer it goes and the more the pressure will build up from a financial community, get this thing under control. stop the shut down and let's have more certainty in the markets. >> to that point, in a normal presidency, a chief of staff and

a vice president, the inner circle would go to the president and say sir, i understand you feel passionately about the wall, but the math is not there. you have a new chief of staff coming in and the defense secretary just resigned and there is anxiety around the world and the stock market is on a roller coaster. we are in this strange period of time. let's not add more poison to the mix. that's what will happen in a normal presidency. >> absolutely. a normal presidency, the president would agree. we thought that's what would happen mid-week when the signals were coming out where they no longer insisted on the wall. they went home with the understanding of the senate. this incredible story of the democratic senator from hawaii and going home. it is settled and we are not going to have a shut down. he gets on the ground in hawaii from washington and has 17 minutes on the ground before he

has to get on another airplane and fly back to washington, d.c. that is nutso government. >> nutso government and before i lose you, i want to -- you are implying that -- i'm sorry, right now we have breaking news on the health crisis facing justice ruth bader ginsburg. >> some health news coming in about justice ruth bader ginsburg. the justice, the oldest justice on the court underwent a procedure in new york city at the cancer center. it turns out that they discovered back in november two nodules that were discovered in her lower lobe of her left lung. they discovered this and found that these were actually cancerous. this was something they discovered in november. that's why today the justice

underwent this surgery. it was the pulmonary lumpectomy. good news from the health care providers. they released this statement and said according to the thoracic surgeon, both of the nodules were removed in surgery and they were found and there was no evidence of any remaining disease. again to recap, we are getting this news in. the oldest justice, justice ruth bader ginsburg, 85 years old has undergone treatment and a surgery to remove cancerous nodules found in her lung. her left lung. a reminder that it was just about a month and a half ago that she fell in her office and was taken in for treatment based on that. she had rib fractures. as a result of that treatment in november, that's when they discovered this concerning nodules that were found to be cancerous and today she underwent this surgery in new

york city to remove the nodules. there is no evidence, no remaining evidence of any cancer or any disease and they expect her to remain in the hospital. currently there is no further treatment plan for the justice and she is expected to remain in the hospital in new york city for a few days. this was a preplanned surgery. she underwent it this morning. the oldest justice on the court, 85 years old and we have seen health issues before involving ruth bader ginsburg. a month ago she did fall with a rib fracture and she had a lot of procedures and health scares in the past. in 1999 she had colon cancer surgery. 2009 she had the early stages of pancreatic cancer and 2014, she had a heart procedure where they put in a stint in her right coronary artery. everyone concerned about the oldest justice on the court. good news amid a health scare.

>> i need to interrupt you. this is the way the hour is playing out. major breaking news. on the floor as we head towards a government shut down. >> -- for our consideration. in addition giving the entire federal government the necessary resources to operate into the new year, this legislation also provides much needed investments and disaster relief for hard hit communities and in our national security, particularly the integrity of our borders. in my view, the legislation that would be quite uncontroversial. quite uncontroversial in a more normal political moment. in a moment when both parties put the obvious national interest ahead of any personal spite for the president. i support the additional border security and disaster aid that

the house added to the bill. i'm proud to vote for it. mr. president, it's not a radical concept that the american people's government should be able to control the people and goods that flow into our country. it's not a radical concept that physical barriers play an important role in achieving security. unless there is a caucus of lawmakers who go to bed at night with their doors wide open that i'm not aware of. what is radical, mr. president? what is way out of the mainstream? is this absurd premises of the open borders far left that achieving basic stability and law enforcement on our southern border is somehow in itself without compassion? or discriminatory or immoral?

fairness and compassion don't mean only enforcing some of our laws half heartedly. fairness and compassion mean we fulfill our governing duties for the american people. we continue to throw up our hands and tolerate a status quo that allows too many drugs and dangerous criminals to travel freely into our land, this federal government is not doing it. the facts are clear on this. the need for greater security on our southern border is not some partisan invention. it's an empirical fact. and the need is only growing. apprehensions along the border have nearly doubled in the past year. the men and women of the border patrol are encountering gang member with criminal mft.

more seizures of cocaine and fentanyl. this is a real crisis. the implications for american communities for which were and border patrol units that are stretched thin are very real. so, mr. president, there is no bright line of principal that sends this request for border funding apart from similar requests that many democrats have supported in the past. a lot of them supported this in the past. there is no sharp distinction between the proposal my friends decided to oppose today and proposals they have been happy to endorse in the past. the only they think that changed are the political wins way over on the far left. that's what's changed. let's not end the year the way weigh began. with another shut down over the issue of illegal immigration.

remember this back in january? all because the democrats are unwilling to support common sense measures to address it. let's advance this legislation, mr. president. let's pass it and let's finish our work for this year. let's secure our country. mr. president, i ask the chair before the senate of the house message to a company hr 695 and ask for the yeahs and nays. >> there appears to be a sufficient second. clark will call the role. >> you heard the majority leader mitch mcconnell saying he thinks the democrats should vote for this. they are bringing up the house-passed bill yesterday. the senate passed to keep the government open with no funding. the house passed it up and added $5 billion of border wall funding hoping it will get

additional votes and sent it back to the senate. mitch mcconnell knows the math is not there. he needs 60 votes. they are having the yeahs and nays. in part this is an exercise in futility. >> chuck schumer said it best. he called it a pointless exercise. mitch mcconnell gave a nice speech that the president will like, but the numbers don't add up. i think schumer's comment is accurate. >> they need 50 just to take it up, but people are flying back to d.c. there is an attendance problem here. if and when they get to that threshold, they will not happen. >> mcconnell came out and said build a wall. he gave no new options and he came back from the white house and he is digging in and moving forward and not going to come up with anything else. that's their plan. that's what they came out of the white house. when they were at the white house, i asked several people, what is the point of them being

here? they said nothing. it's a meeting to show they are working on something in the hours before the shut down, but they didn't think anything new would come out of that. they were dead right. they were telling democrats dig in. good luck. >> if you are the president of the united states and something is important to you, you have every right to ask your leadership in congress to have a vote. the president is, why did he vote until we are 11.5 hours away from a partial government shut down. there is the other question, he could have had this money months ago in a deal democrats were prepared to take at the time that would have protected the recipients and the dreamers and the president walked away. since then, for the same reason he walked away from the deal that passed the other day, an echo and tornado and fox radio. the same reason he walked away then. the difference now is the majority leader is right to a

degree. there is more pressure on the left. the democrats are about to take over the house. they went through an election year they feel good about for good reason. they won 40 seats. the politics are less advantageous than when he walked away from the deal. >> it's always for the president about what his base wants him to say. he tried to do and put the blame back on the place where always the blame goes. which is the dysfunctional washington. i think democrats have to be somewhat careful about how they position themselves on immigration. you saw this in the mid-term elections as well. chuck schumer can say there is no wall, but if you air democrat that you are sitting in a vulnerable district or republican-leaning district, this is not a great answer for ow border security. i'm voting against who i'm voting against. anything that suggests we care about border security. most of these democrats didn't

run on impeach wantment or obstruction, but they ran on spending their time on fixing the things that are broken in washington. the message that schumer put out about you are not getting your wall. this is a temper tantrum. i don't think that is helpful if you are a democrat running for president. you better have a better message or if you are a member in 2020. i don't think this is compelling. >> this is an excellent point. this is a crisis the president is making, but there is a lot of blame to go around about the broader dysfunction and about the way forward. >> they want answers on stuff stuff that matters. prr. >> they have to run their lives and balance their own budgets. we will take a quick break. the first vote to bring to the floor, the house-passed bill that does give the president border wall funding. the votes are not there in the senate, but this is a necessary step. we will find out if there is a

compromise to avoid a government shut down. we'll be right back.

opportunity is everywhere. like here. where nothing stands between you and your best friends.

welcome back. dramatic breaking news day. they are voting to take up the first procedural vote with a house-passed measure to keep the government running. it is guaranteed to fail in the senate. that's a step they will take first and we will see if we have a compromise or partial

government shut down. as we watch the vote play out, a medical scare for the supreme court justice, ruth bader ginsburg. we know that justice ginsburg just had the broken ribs and we learn about the nodules in her lungs. she has been public about the fact that she loves her job and she is not a big fan of this president and she wants to hang on through the end of the trump era. is there any indication that broken ribs followed by the surgery will dissuade her? >> i don't think so, john. we don't know the full extent of it. when she was in the hospital for the cracked ribs that occurred on november 7th, that's when they discovered the problem with the nodules in her left lung. they then discovered they were malignant and they were removed today in the operation. the court's statement said that no other treatment is necessary and that it looked like she had

no other malignancy in her. that's important. she gets cancer checks all the time because of beginning in 1999 when her colorectal cancer was discovered, she has been vigilant about this. it sounds like if no other treatment is required and she is resting comfortably as they say, she is in the hospital, that maybe things are going to be okay. she is 85 years old and incredibly resilient. i remember back in 1999 when i covered the story of her first cancer scare, people said gosh, how is she going to survive? she survived that. in 2009, she sur vvived pancreac cancer. the cracked ribs, john, the incident on november 7th was at least the third time they knew about that she had fallen and cracked her ribs.

she keeps coming back. we will know more obviously if we find out that she has to go to more treatment. we will know more in early january when on january 4th would be the first time she would be returning to the court for the private conference and the following monday she would be expected to be on the bench. right now the signals are she will keep ongoing, john. >> we will keep our eye on that and wish her the best. thank you very much. she is resilient and tough. she is always kind of an icon. the documents about notorious rbg. most supreme court justices are anonymous, but not so much here. >> no, especially about young women. they adore her and look up to her. sandra day o'connor had this popularity in an earlier time.

all of us do sgloin wishing her the best. it is notable that they discovered this more than a month ago and waited until now to operate on her. that must mean they didn't feel an urgency about it. they thought they could control it. that's good news. >> it is good news. a little bit of context. i was talking to you earlier. careening towards a shut down and resignation of the defense secretary. this is the nation's highest court. president trump just installed his second justice. what does a scare like this do to the conversations in washington? >> well, all the democrats are rooting for her. republicans have mixed views. they are the opposition party. they would like to have the more seat during donald trump's first term to secure the future of the court. but people have to be very, very

careful what they say, obviously. >> amen. the most personality thing is whoever appointed the justice who is hospitalized. we wish her the best. for more on that, the questions we know. sanjay gupt a. cracked ribs and they find these nodules. they waited a little bit and he interpreted that as good news that they were not in a panic to get them out. what's your perspective? david gergen, we lost sanjay gupta. we had a technical question right there. i can come into the room here as well. when we were talking about the budget that the continuing resolution and the shut down and they bring me this note that ruth bader ginsburg, it sets you back in your chair because she is 85 years old and because she

is just a member of the supreme court court. she has become this iconic figure. >> yeah. she has become such a figure among women and democrats and that's why every time there is news about her health or condition, you do sense a lot of fear from democrats that this is -- we all wish for her recovery, but it's a potential third vacancy under president trump. the supreme court was an important issue for voters in the campaign and again, this is something that democrats are watching very closely and worriedly. >> it's a great point and delicate to get into the politics and to get into justice ginsburg. it's a fact of in today's washington. we will sneak in a quick break. i'm sorry, we recovered sanjay gupta. sorry about that. it's that kind of a day. friday before christmas and a breaking news day all around.

help us with your perspective. the court's oldest justice cracked her ribs and in for treatment, they find these nodules and wait a while before having the surgery. do you take that as a good sign? >> yeah, i think that's really important. the fall as you remember on november 7th, over a month and a half away since they probably discovered this. she had routine scans done at that time and they found the nodules. they were not causing symptoms. another important factor. the symptoms were causing shortness of breath or anything. they waited and it was discovered incidentally they were not causing symptoms. it sounds like they are relatively small. when they look at the nodules, they found there was evidence of malignant cells there.

>> so knowing her history, she is 85 years old, but she is as tough as they come. she has proven that in the past. is there any additional care or concern besides the aiming of someone 85 years old having this surgery as opposed to someone 55 years old. >> one thing you don't know is how they performed this operation. whether they did it in a more minimally invasive way or not. that will speak to her recovery from this. in terms of the nodules themselves, no treatment is planned. it could be that they basically measure the risks and rewards and say it makes sense to do further therapy. chemotherapy and radiation and whatever it might be. they say no, that's another favorable sign. they don't think that's worth the risk or necessary to do that. it's about recovery. she is tough. she was back in the gym the day

after she broke her ribs. if they did a minimally invasive procedure, her recovery could be surprisingly quick again. >> that's where we put our hopes. we appreciate your perspective on the day. we wish justice ginsburg the best and there is also a vote on the floor of the united states senate. when we come back, does the senate have the votes for step to take up the house passed bill to keep the government open. we expect it to fail, but we are working through a process today. stay with us. share the love event,

states senate voting step to bring to the floor of the senate. welcome to washington. that's what we call it. that would keep the government open. 11 hours away. about 420,000 federal employees affected. we believe the senate will not pass this measure. it includes $5 billion in new border wall funding the president demanded. the house went back and did that yesterday. let's come back into the room for a second. there are a number of things in play. will we have a partial government shut down? this is the first lesson in post mid-term washington. how does president trump, every president gets spanked in the first mid-term and has to decide what to change. do i change anything? what are we learn being this president who -- we don't know how it will end. he tweeted it could be a long shut down. the democrats take power in the house. are we learning anything that we could say this would carry over

or are we having episodic trump? >> the "wall street journal" the other week came out with a poll question they have been asking about whether you think that the president after this mid-term election is going to take the message and change the way that he goes about his policies and his presidency or whether there was no message sent by this mid-term election. in previous wave elections in 2006, republicans say the president got the message. things are going to change. 2010, they said the president got the message. things will change. there was no message here. 48%. the mid-terms were not a message. they were about whatever you wanted them to be. what the president wanted them to be is the fact that we picked up two senate seats, which is true, but i don't think there is an understanding of what it means to not be in control of the house yet. quite frankly, that is not going

to be apparent until january 3rd. >> to take that and twist it a bit, they lost 40 house seats largely in the suburbs and did pick up seats they should have won years ago, but they won indiana and missouri and north dako dakota. is the president's message okay, i'm going all red. all red. i'm going to go more red. >> the president's message first of all, he had a party on election night and had that very testy press conference the next day and he met leaders who know how to talk to him. shinzo abe said congratulations on the mid-term victory. he is not hearing it. he's not hearing it was a loss. the way the results came in made the blow like a delayed realization that there had been a blue wave. that delayed any message sinking in. >> you see steven miller, the hard liner on immigration.

the new chief of staff coming in. mick mulvaney said let the president be the president. don't expect change. expect more. >> to a degree, but washington is seeing things that he has not seen in the last two years. not just are we hurdling towards the shut down with no end in sight with white house aides confused about the tactic and the lack of strategy, but you have the defense secretary resigning in protest over a decision that the president made that he disagreed with so much, he felt the need to step down and he said that the president would have to fire him because he was not going to leave and he felt he was that much of a patriot. that is something that royaled senate republicans. no one praised this decision on the u.s. withdrawing from syria so abruptly. it's the way he is doing it that upset these republicans and democrats alike and even his own national security team. that paired with the shut down

is really reaching a new point that they don't know what to do. >> we are running out of time. there are so many bouncing balls and it's hard to think and put them together. thanks for joining us. we are out of time. the senate vote is continuing and picks up with brianna keilar after a quick break. have a great day. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. my doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stroke. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. for afib patients well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor,

as this may increase your risk of stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. before starting, tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures and any kidney or liver problems. learn all you can to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. to help protect yourself from a stroke. ok i'll admit. i didn't keep my place as clean as i would like 'cuz i'm way too busy. who's got the time to chase around down dirt, dust and hair? so now, i use heavy duty swiffer sweeper and dusters. for hard-to-reach places, duster makes it easy to clean. it captures dust in one swipe.

ha! gotcha! and (new) sweeper heavy duty cloths lock away a twice as much dirt and dust. it gets stuff deep in the grooves other tools can miss. you know what? my place is a lot cleaner now. stop cleaning. start swiffering. i'm brianna keilar from the washington headquarters. breaking news out of the supreme court on the health of justice ruth bader ginsburg. she is resting now in the hospital after undergoing surgery today to remove two cancerous nodules from her left lung. we will get to that in a moment. also right now, the senate is taking its first key vote on a series of bills that would fund the government until february. manu raju is on capitol hill for us.
