see you next sunday. we are back here at 11:00 eastern with the latest buzz. [♪] arthel: a standoff in the senate as the government shutdown continues for a second day. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell promising a vote overnight by 1:00 a.m. monday. eric: senate lawmakers continue to be locked in the stalemate over immigration. demanding protection for dreamers. the republicans want to focus solely on the new spending bill. mark short weighed in on meet the press. >> what lindsey graham and senator durbin offered to the president was to say here we

narrowed down the issues you asked us to. when they did that and came to the white house we found them to be wove any looking. but we think we'll get to a solution. eric: mike, what is the plan, next move to finally reopen the government? reporter: the senate and house reconvened this afternoon. house speaker paul ryan talked about the next play. we passed a bill keeping things furnltdsed to february 16. we'll see sometime today whether they have the votes for that. thatments where we are right now. reporter: republicans were quick to brand it assumer shutdown. the bill would have extended

health insurance for 9 million children for six years. >> we called for a one-day extension, a three-day extension to put a looming deadline on this negotiation, this trump shutdown to end as quickly as possible. now the republicans said instead of four weeks we'll take three weeks. what we need to have is a basic agreement upon what we'll do in those three weeks, not just a calendar date. eric: they are not changing that as it stands now. is there any reason to hope this could get resolved at 1:00 a.m. in the morning or by tomorrow? reporter: so far it's been a weekend, so perhaps not much of an impact other than everybody working this weekend trying to figure this out. the key player on the democrat

side talked about it today on "fox news sunday." >> i'm more optimistic than i have been in a long time. we had 20 senators in a room, republicans and democrats talking to each other talking about how to get back to an appropriations process that works. reporter: so much of this is the democrats being on fire over a deal on the so-called dreamers. they were brought here illegally by their parents. a key senate conservative said it's been difficult negotiating with democrats. >> when the democrats don't get what they want, they run out and misrepresent what was a good faith effort. to claim some ridiculous deal was made and then claim the president walked away from that deal, and the media buys it hook, line and sinker. eric: we'll have senator john

thune in three minutes. arthel: president trump is reacting to the stalemate in congress, the president tweeting this morning. great to see how hard republicans are fighting for our military and safety at the borders. the dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. if stalemate continues, the republicans should go to the 51% nuclear option and vote on real, long term budget, no c.h.s. reporter: the white house is still optimistic that congress will be able to reach a deal to get the government reopened. but they are not sure how long it will take to do that. the administration believes the government shutdown happening on the one-year anniversary of the president taking office is what the democrats wanted.

the white house is launching an aggressive p.r. campaign to place the responsibility on the democrats. when vice president mike pence addressed troops near syria's border, he said the president is working to earned the shutdown so they can get paid. >> a minority in the senate has decided to play politics with military pay. we are going to demand they reopen the government. we are not going to reopen negotiations on illegal immigration until they reopen the government and give you, our soldiers and your families the benefits and wages you earned. reporter: the white house has taken steps to minimize the impact. a majority of national parks and monuments have remained open. that's a big difference from what the obama administration did in 2013.

but come tomorrow when government offices are set to open, budget director mick mulvaney gave us a preview of what to expect tomorrow. >> if you work there you will see a dramatic difference. but the american public won't see a difference. they are not getting paid. but in terms of what you will see won't be as dramatic as it was in 2013. reporter: mulvaney told us they are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst in the event this shutdown lasts longer than just a few days. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is trying to get his counterparts and minority leader chuck schumer to withdraw the filibuster so a short-term spending bill could pass. a vote is plans for 1:00 in the morning. 13 hours from now because of

senate rules. white house budget director mick mulvaney is optimistic. >> i think it's possible to get it solved. the attempt to deny the president the victory lap to talk about the success of the economy and jobs. if this gets done before 9:00 on monday morning and let folks come to work. eric: senator john thune, welcome. you have been working long hours. do you think it will be the democrats who will bling and daca? >> senate democrats will have a chance tonight to vote on a funding resolution to open the government. they wanted a shorter-term resolution. this will be a three week rather than four week. but there are two important

points to remember. house republicans and the house of representatives passed a resolution to keep the government funded, the president supports that, and a bipartisan majority of say the senators supported that when we had that vote. second thing is, there isn't anything in this resolution that everybody is not for. the democrats are for authorizing the children's health understand program for 9 million kid in this country and a number of the obamacare taxes that everybody hates would be delayed. this is something that there is a huge majority of bipartisan support. eric: they are digging in their heels. >> they are following their leader. chuck super walked them into this boxed canyon where they don't have anyway out. the deadline for daca is march.

and shutting down the government makes no sense. we have a whole range of things included in this bill. in order to negotiate the immigration issue, the government needs to be open. we have to be up and functioning for those negotiations to continue. that's all republicans are saying. we are in favor of opening up the government. we were never in favor of shutting it down in the first place. he's got his members in a position where they will have to try and get out of it. we'll give them a chance today to do that. eric: how do they get out of it? what will try and force him? >> i think there have been some face-saving attempts, some willingness to negotiate the date on the continuing resolution. house republicans have indicated that if the senate change the

date and send it back over to the how the house, the house would approve it. there are negotiations to continue to go on on the other issues. the main issues, immigration, doesn't have a deadline until march. there were good faith negotiations being entered into by both side. and we'll get there on that. but using this ploy, this tactic, shutting down the government which to me is all about politics. it has nothing about the policy democrats are trying to get done here is really unfortunate. it puts a lot of people in a difficult position if the -- when the government shuts down. >> we'll see what happens monday morning. you just mentioned continuing resolutions. let me read you the tweet the president tweeted out about that. he said great to see how hard republicans are fighting for

military and safety at the border. the dems just want illegal immigrants to pour tn top our nation unchecked. what is your view of getting rid of that filibuster 60-vote threshold. do you think it's possible? would you be for it? >> continuing resolutions are bad. they are bad for the military. but what is worse for military is shutting the government down. i don't think there is a need to go to 51. we shouldn't have to go to 51 to keep the government open. because of the 60-vote threshold we have to have 9 democrats who are willing to vote with us. we had five vote with us the other day. i know the president is frustrated. we are as well. going to 51 on legislation is

something talked about before. but it would transform the way the senate functions. i think we ought to be able to solve that without taking that extreme measure. we ought to be able to get 60 votes so we can negotiate these important issues the american people expect us to deal with. eric: dick durbin says it would end the senate as we know it as the founding fathers conceived it. the great men and women serving overseas. they are freezing and stopping the transfer of bodies at dover air force base and the $100,000 benefit to the family of a loved one killed in action. claire mccaskill tried to get that in by unanimous consent and it was shot down by mcconnell.

does that protect the military. >> first and foremost we should protect the military. those who vote to shut the government down and put our military in that position, that's a shameful act. they need to vote to open up the government. we need to take care of our military and make sure their important need, the people defending this country every single day, of all people in this country pat we depend upon, deserve to be treated more fairly than they are being treated in this government shutdown. eric: they will have that vote at 1:00 in the morning. get your coffee and some sugar rush to keep you up all night. thank you for joining us. arthel: women are making their voices heard with more marches planned today across the country after hundreds of thousands rally yesterday from new york to

los angeles calling for equality and empowerment. will carr is live in las vegas with more. hi, will. reporter: just about an hour from now we are expecting 10s of thousands of women to pack in. it's called power to the polls. it comes on the heels of the duds of marches protesting the election of president trump. we'll hear from the leaders of black lifts matter and a range of issues, gun control, abortion. it's the first stop in a number. marches and rallies planned for swing states. >> people will be able to be

together, to express their feeling and come together as a community. reporter: the goal of the power to the polls movement is to register one million people before the mid-terms. they are planning rallies and marches in michigan and florida. eric: lawmakers on both sides of the aisle blaming each other for the government shutdown. who will take it fall for this after its over? and how big a role could this play in the upcoming mid-terms. >> we feel the american people are on our side. >> the american people can't begin to understand why the senate democratic leader thinks the entire government should be shut down until he gets his way. the market, but through good times and bad at t. rowe price we've helped our investors stay confident for over 80 years.

>> the senator from new york tried to insist a shutdown was anyone's fault but this own. >> this is the trump shutdown. only the president can end it. >> i think it's the schumer shutdown. it has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? arthel: the blame game boiling

over with democrats and republicans pointing the finger at the other for the shutdown. the republicans brarnding it the schumer shut on your, but democrats say president trump is the one to hold accountable. jordan, is one party to blame? how might this backfire and will some of the blame fall at the feet of president trump? >> it looks like there is a lot of blame to be cast around. you look at the poll numbers. it's a mixed picture. republicans and the president are taking some of the blame, but so are democrats. when you have a situation where both sides are dug in and don't want to give up on their position. but you would think it would bring them to the table to reach an agreement. but both sides are dug in and no real agreement in sight. they are going to vote tonight

to fund the government for three weeks and it's not clear whether that would pass. arthel: can political wounds and bruised relationships caused by this shutdown be healed for future negotiations on infrastructure or other big ticket items? >> i think we'll have to see how this shutdown situation resolves itself. one of the complaints made by democrats is they don't feel like the president was negotiating in good faith on daca. you had the president in this big meeting say if you would sign anything put on the table and he would take the political heat for the deal, and once a bipartisan deal was put on the table he decide he didn't like it. and then the democrats say negotiating with donald trump is like negotiating with jell-o. arthel: what you just laid out in this shutdown match, are

democrats and some republicans being outmaneuvered by the president who fashions himself as the ultimate negotiator? >> i am not sure if that's the case. you have the president not doing much in the shutdown situation. we haven't seen shim publicly since friday afternoon and the proposals he's putting on the table on his twitter account like earning the filibuster in the senate are non starters. as far as getting deals done, he's on the phone with chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell. but so far we haven't seen a deal done. i don't know if it's more of the tail wagging the dog situation. arthel: will he actually step in with very specific direction or asks at the 11th hour and negotiate a deal that will

unlock this? >> we are told the president is making calls behind the scenes. maybe he will unlock some kind of compromise that can get done. in order for him to receive the credit for that, he will need to get out there and explain what that deal involves. maybe he decided it's the weekend. government workers aren't here. i don't need to get out there yet. if the government shutdown comes and government offices are closed. he may try to get a deal done. arthel: that's what many in the political world are predicting will happen. what do you think? a rest solution tomorrow overnight? >> it's hard to say. i'm pessimistic about this vote tonight. democrats are demanding some kind of promise on immigration. from what we are hearing that is maybe attached to a side deal.

arthel: keep the government open for a few more weeks? you don't think that will happen? >> it's possible, but i would put the chances at 50-50 right now. eric: 50-50. the senate set to reconvene at the top of the hour. 36 minutes from now. congress trying to come up with a solution to the continuing government shutdown. we'll have more coming up on whether the lawmakers are really making any progress.

will not fly? we'll bring you updates are up today to see if it indeed does. arthel: era, oversees the 18 people dead following a terror attack in afghanistan and the numbers expected to rise through the gunman opening fire inside bubbles intercontinental hotel yesterday, shooting gas and staff members. it would take 13 hours or afghan forces to end the siege. david lee miller live in jerusalem with more. reporter: are so, as you mentioned this attack was deadly but it could've been worse. about 150 people were rescued from the kabul intercontinental hotel. 14 of the 18 who died were foreigners. most work for private afghan airlines. no reports of any american casualties. of the six attackers store in the hotel kitchen around 9:00 last night. two killed by special forces. authorities say many gun men were wearing suicide that and

were specifically targeting foreigners and afghan officials. during the gunbattle with security forces come a fire rested and explosions could be heard. people try to escape lesser windows on the building's upper floors of the taliban spokesman says the assault was supposed to take late on thursday evening, but it was postponed because a wedding was taking place and they wanted to avoid killing afghan civilians. the kabul intercontinental hotel is not affiliated with the global hotel chain of the same name. the taliban attacked the same hotel six years ago. recently a private firm assumed responsibility for security at this hotel. now afghan officials are investigating trying to learn how the gunman -- gunmen were able to infiltrate the building. arthel: david lee miller coming thank you very much. >> president trump has put iran on notice. the united states of america will no longer tolerate iran's

attempts to spread it malign influence or terrorists across this region. >> vice president pence of course the tenuous truth of the military facility near the syrian border this morning. it came during his first official tour of the middle east. the vice president laying out ways for the u.s. to continue countering iran supported terrorism and its continued crackdown on regime opponents. meanwhile, arab nations have reacted in anger to the trump administration's decision to formally recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. that has caused palestinian president mahmoud abbas to even meet with the president. senior fellow at the american enterprise institute here in new york is with us every sunday. ambassador, the vice president has met with king abdullah in jordan today is that the u.s. is

committed to a two state solution. how can anything be achieved if mahmoud abbas is so dug in? he might very good question. this is a very important meeting for the vice president. he had several meetings with general sec in egypt now in israel. what he said in egypt and jordan was the u.s. would support a two state solution if the parties were to agree to it. the way mahmoud abbas is behaving demonstrates the tooth a solution is in deep trouble, something i have believed for a long time. abbas is not doing himself any favors. this posturing over the trump recognition of reality to jerusalem as israel's capital does not change a single thing in the peace negotiations. the president was careful to say the embassy would be in west jerusalem and in the past few days that's where we've announce we will put an upgrade of current conseil or facility. so it doesn't establish new

facts on the ground. it doesn't act in this childish way to not meet with the vice president. i think that the palestinian cause far more harm than good. >> in a sense abbas plane to his base. he had the average a speech in questioning the deaths in the holocaust, saying that would rather be killed in europe then move to israel. i mean, how can you negotiate in good faith so with someone who espouses that. >> look, make the service this anti-semitism for a long time and it may well be his appealing to his base. right now in the west bank lives and occupies territory. so they are not in anywhere close to the situation they want to be. i hope at some point the administration recognizes and perhaps that it is already quietly the two state solution isn't going anywhere. if anything, king abdullah of

jordan be prepared to reassert your gaining sovereignty over the west income and negotiate with israel. that's a far better outcome than continue its pursuit a mythical i believe unattainable viable palestinian state. eric: the west bank or parts of it in jerusalem can never back to jordanian control possibly. >> i think it's a lot more likely jordan and israel who already have a peace agreement between them could negotiate a division of the west bank and allocation responsibility, for example, king of bela has a role of the custodian of the holy site with hamas since no one and never reaching agreement with the legitimate palestinian authority. that still leaves the problem of gaza for egypt. look him in the west bank could be solved relatively easily if mccain were willing to step up and i think he needs assurances. that wasn't part of the vice president trip. given him experience with the key actors could preside an

important role how do you get abbas -- abbas to agree to that and have them give up power? >> i think he's making himself a relevant and it's harmful to the palestinian people. at some point you stop playing charades. that is what president trump did in the recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital and the notion that palestinian authorities come anything other than a cover for the old palestine liberation organization i think is disappearing as well. it's a desperate situation for the palestinian people. they been appointed the spear for a long time from arab opponents of israel they've suffered for it, may suffer for it now in mahmoud abbas' leadership make them suffer worse. >> administration is doing something that hasn't been tried before. did nikki haley funding has the palestinians went down almost by half. they've got the terrorist

funding that the palestinian authority gives to terrorists, convicted terrorists and their families. taylor was reported on, 26-year-old young man, graduate of west point served in afghanistan as well as iraq and he was nice to that in summer 2016 by palestinian terrorists whose family we are told is receiving money, basically critics say blood money. 300 million a year in a bill to try and stop this. is the administration taking this one seriously? what will happen and what is the message of the taylor for sac in the after on behalf of taylor and the others who tried to stop the killings? >> first command decision to withhold half of its operating budget is the right thing to do. i should be the beginning of a complete reevaluation whether we need it at all. the taylor for bill is only one reason i think why direct

funding to the palestinian authority should be without. there's also statutory provision the palestinian authority tries to provoke investigations or action by the international criminal court that the u.s. should cut off funding. a verdict on not. not sure why the camp administration has not appeared this is one of several reasons why funding the palestinian authority i think is not in america's best interest absent some dramatic change in the authority, which i see no evidence of happening. >> critics about with it would stabilize the authority to hamas as well as her some of the people on the ground. >> well, the authority has shown it is basically incapable of governing anyway. what the palestinians need is an alternative to the corrupt plutocracy and the terrorism represented by hamas, which is why to me having and egypt play

roles is much more likely to actually benefit the palestinian people if anyone's paying attention to that. eric: a bold and brazen announcement and proposal by john bolton today for jordan to take over the west bank is part of all of east jerusalem basically in the palestinian authority. ambassador, always good to have you here every sunday. thank you. >> granddaddy with his beard trimmed reflectivity on the rise as more cases across the country. what health professionals are saying about this season's epidemic but the government shutdown could significantly impact the health of our servicemembers and their families. dr. manny alvarez is here to break it all down. >> a minority in the senate has decided to play politics, that she deserved better. -- but you deserve better.

the flu season is getting worse. the center for disease control saying the virus has gained steam in the last week. 32 states are reporting an increase of patient traffic at doctor's offices and hospitals up from 26 states that week before. also the busiest week for flu symptoms in nine years had lots of folks say that's really bad if you get it. arthel: i heard back. the gridlock in washington could have a far-reaching impact on public health including members of the military and their families because military hospitals and dental clinics will be canceling primary care appointments and elective procedures. dr. manny alvarez. dr. manny alvarez camassia managing editor of fox news helps.com. i read your piece on the website and basically you are saying the health care system is being harmed by the shutdown. tell us how. >> listen, this is a 24 hour, 48 hour event, we are not going to see any major problems.

however, if this extends into a week or so, you are going to have some problems with the health system. if you look at the amount of employees coming in now, 50% of some agencies, veteran affairs 4%, ultimately you are looking at a health system, specially the va hospitals there for years have been under a lot of pressure. we still have long lines of patients waiting for appointments. if you look at vacancy rates for staff, over 30,000 vacancies still need to be filled in va hospitals, specialty mental health. if you now are not able to hire people come if you're not able to continue with the buildup of hospitals or contractors who service hospitals, and ultimately this will affect potentially the outcome in the care of patients. eric: you mentioned how these

could compound over time. which patients, dr. mani could be most at risk? >> well, very concerned about mental health. ptsd, mental health issues are an important core medical service that is under a lot of pressure. we don't have enough psychiatrists, mental health clinics, mental health professionals working for the va hospitals and this is a subgroup of patients that need immediate attention. i fear for that. i also fear of course for a lot of the veterans and military personnel and their families, specially when it comes for elective surgery or elective procedures in cases of emergencies or you have attrition or financial difficulties on the health system that's the first thing put aside as the elective procedures, primary care hospitals or clinics. again, an area that is going to

potentially get her. we have to pay attention. at the end of the day of this is a 48 hour come a 72 hour event for the government shut down, nothing will happen because there is enough oil in the system to keep it going. if this goes beyond a week or two weeks, you're asking for trouble and we are really jeopardizing a system that is just beginning. under the leadership of the president and the government right now with the new secretary, bea systems moving in in the right direction, and but we have to support it and we have to continue to support it for it to become quite efficient. eric: what about the scary flu season? be not this is a nightmare come especially in new york and new jersey we have thousands of patients admitted to the hospital. again, the vaccine is 20% to 30% effect do in right now we're basically saying that people continue to take the flu vaccine

to take precautions because there's a lot of infections in people with chronic medical conditions can really have significant effects from this flu season. trivia couple things appear close to someone of the flu is it too late and what other protections can you take on besides the flu shot? >> at never too late to get the flu shot. the peak flu season is in february so we have a month before things could get even worse. we still encourage people to get the flu shot. so far as what you can take on the handwashing number one. all the time. i work, home, school, when you come back from outside the subway, wash your hands. if you are sick, try to sequester yourself and try not to expose others to the flu. arthel: what about wearing a mask? >> well, that helps you isolation to some degree works, but again it's all about getting

the flu shot, washing your hands, and eating right you could say, support yourself with good hydration and balanced nutrition and hopefully you can ride it out. arthel: dr. manny alvarez, thank you very much. eric: some good advice. remember the last time during the shutdown they turned away world war ii vet and close national parks could another story to national parks and monuments. this time is different from what we've seen in the past. >> they won't be as visible and 20 team. the only way i can describe it is the of ominous rations chose to happen if the shutdown. you won't see that this year. the national parks will be open. the trash market picked out. -- the trash won't get picked up.

eric: continuing fall of the sunday afternoon in the wake of the government shutdown. a comic statue of liberty? she is close during the date of a marquee tours nakedly the baycol. but the fact the another monuments. lea gabrielle in lower manhattan where visitors board the boat. >> hi, eric. people come from all over the

world and all over the u.s. to new york city and one of the main attractions is of course the statue of liberty. but this is as close as they can get right now without taking one of the privately operated ferry tours. take a look at this. this is the sign visitors see when they arrive here. here's the official twitter account. the statue of liberty and ellis island closed due to the appropriations effective immediately and until further notice. a lot of parks and monuments are still up in. the government trying to avoid a replay of what happened in 2013 when veterans were seen being turned away from their memorials. washington d.c. open-air parks and monuments are open including the war memorials and even the smithsonian museum and the national zoo i stayed open and they will be open on monday because of prior-year funding available. be on monday, they don't know at this point. even though the government is planning on keeping a lot of sites open, many will not be

staff. visitor centers and bathrooms will have to be closed. back in new york for those who bought tickets months in advance to see the statue of liberty and ellis island, they can get refunds, but that doesn't help when this was a big trip from far, far away. listen. >> we're from texas. a lot of trouble to get to new york city. we definitely want to make it to ellis island and the statue of liberty. >> were going to go around the island and the statue of liberty. >> as i mentioned, private are taking people on tours where they can get close to ellis island and close to the statue of liberty. for anyone who wants to see a national park service site right now, they should check ahead or they might be very disappointed. >> bet is for sure. at least you can of liberty way out there. meanwhile, some of the viewers know your former fighter pilot

served in the navy, flu hornet, f-18s off of aircraft carriers or the shutdown really is hitting the men and women in uniform. what do you think they are going to right now? the navy said they had to basically start some training. >> this is so frustrating at a time when service members relating to feel like they are supported by the american people and the government. the a lot of this comes down to the continuing resolution they've been using to fund the military that affects their readiness dollars, ability to be prepared to fight. what happens is the military pushes forward all their assets that have to be deployed when the fighting is not available because of continuing resolutions. the other money isn't available for people to do the kinds of training and planning for future programs and operations that has to go to the wayside. a frustrating thing for people to service our country in

uniform. eric: absolutely. we owe them a debt of gratitude. hopefully congress will stop them. leah, thank you. eric: the senate is getting back to work in a few minutes up in a hash of a new spending bill to reopen the federal government. complete coverage of all the latest updates are coming up on the fox news channel. stay with us. rocket mortgage by quicken loans. get approved in as few as 8 minutes. rocket mortgage by quicken loans. my healthy routine helps me feel my best. so i add activia yogurt to my day. with its billions of live and active probiotics, activia may help support my digestive health, so i can take on my day. activia. now in probiotic dailies.
