solved this weekend. we appreciate you coming on and explaining what's going on there. we know how this will turn out, but there might be more later. thanks for joining us now. i'm dana perino. here's shep. >> shepard: imagine this: the sun has not shown for more than two months. the sun has not risen at all for 66 days. that's how its been for the thousands of residents of what most of us know as barrow, alaska. no sun. now at least, it has returned. the sun was up for about the length of a lunch break but cause for celebration! ♪ welcoming the sun after its long winter nap. we'll take you to the top of the world coming up.

and our reporting begins with breaking news this thursday afternoon. the senate is this moment voting on a pair of proposals to reopen the government. one bill includes $5.7 billion for the president's wall or barrier along the southern barreder. the other has no money at all for a wall. as it turns out, neither bill is expected to survive. so what is the point? well, our senior producer, chad pergram says today's vote could be a reset that might, i don't know, nudge both republicans and democrats back toward the negotiating table. while lawmakers are voting on capitol hill, hundreds of thousands of federal workers are set to miss their second paycheck in a row tomorrow forcing many americans to figure out other ways to pay their bills. mike emanuel reporting live from capitol hill. >> shep, part of the pitch for president trump's plan, the first one that they're voting on is that it would reopen government and the president

would be willing to sign it. >> it's obvious what the senate needs to do. today will decide whether we turn a new corner and begin putting the last month behind us or whether we will all continue to show up for work, stuck in exactly, exactly the same situation. >> the senate democratic leaders encouraging republicans to come across and vote for his measure, the second one that does not contain wall funding saying it reopens the government if that's what they want to do. >> to my republican colleagues, even if you're for the wall, all of those have said i may be for the wall but i want to keep the government open, have a chance to do it on the second vote. let's see how they vote. >> both expected to fail. a number of sources on both sides of the aisle say they're encouraged on day 34 to finally see the united states senate voting, shep. >> shepard: mike, what is the next step for lawmakers? >> it's clear moderates are

anxious to deal. >> how ludicrous it is that this government is shut down over a promise the president of the united states couldn't keep. and then americans not interested in having them keep. >> one idea floating around is a three-week funding extension to give all parties involved more time to negotiate. senators recognize they need other top leaders on board. >> i would urge the president if the speaker committed to taking up the senate-passed bill as acceptable to the president, that he go ahead and agree to give us three weeks to do that. >> graham is once again looking to deal at a time when it feels like a number of lawmakers on both sides are looking for an exit ramp to the partial government shut down. >> shepard: mike emanuel reporting live from capitol hill. chad pergram now, our senior producer for capitol hill, live

there this afternoon. that first of two votes still underway. is that right? >> that's right. they're on the first vote. there's been one defection to vote for the republican plan so far. that was democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia. we thought kirsten sinema, the democratic senator from arizona, might be in play. she's a no. when they get to the next vote in a few minutes here, this is expected to fail, the threshold here is 60 yays. they will come short of that. we expect a few republicans to vote with the democrats. we looked at lisa murkowski of alaska, susan collins of maine and cory gardner from colorado who faces a competitive re-election race in 2020. shep, one of the things here are temporal markers. these votes, once they demonstrate in the senate that nothing on a partisan basis can get 60 votes, does this get real? does it get more real? federal workers will miss their second paycheck tomorrow. we were told after the first weekend in december that things would get more real. then we said after christmas,

and then after new year's and then after nancy pelosi became the speaker. at what point does this become more real? i've been told at the end of these votes, democrats and republicans will take to the floor. they have been working to jump-start some sort of negotiation. at the end of the day, you have to have the senate leadership and the house leadership and the president at the table and they're nowhere near that yet, shep. >> shepard: the democrats have said -- the democrats in the house, control the purse strings. that's how it works on capitol hill. if the president wants something, he negotiates and tries to get them to change their minds. for now, the democrats are saying no. there will be no money for a wall, period. as long as it stays that way, how is this going to ever end? is there a nudge or a push to be had? >> that's why people are

aperplectic about this. a lot of these folks travel every weekend. they go back, they go through tsa, go through the airports. they're hearing from those folks every weekend. we have the super bowl a major national security event in a couple weeks. that's been talked about here on capitol hill, whether or not that will be secure. at the end of the day, that's why a lot of folks are saying maybe these federal paychecks, the second batch of those not going out could be the tipping point. i tell you something else that might have helped this, we have this back and forth between nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house and the president. the fact that that has been tamped down just a bit yesterday, you know, changes things. i asked nancy pelosi earlier today, she invited the president for state of the union initially and rescinded that so that they would not consider the type of resolution that you need in the house to have the president come and deliver state of the union. she said that she didn't think it would get to this point. she didn't think it would go on this long and optimistic this would be worked out in the

united states senate. at the end of the day, it's about the math, it's about the math, it's about the math. until they work this rubik's cube and get the math to work right in the house and the senate and get the president to sign something, they have to have 60 votes in the senate and maybe a coalition of lots of democrats and some republicans, what that looks like, we don't know. there's certain democrats that might not vote for a little more border security because they're from the left wing. maybe they can get republican appropriators to vote for something. you try to put that coalition together. they're nowhere near this 30 plus days in the shut down. it's remarkable, shep. >> shepard: there was some bipartisan legislation at one point, right? the republicans and democrats had agreed on to open parts of the government. right? >> right. that's where people have talked about this. richard shelby, the chair of the appropriations committee said democrats voted for version of this before. democrats in the house of representatives have turned this back around and said there were different bills. they've done about 10 or 11

iterations of legislation that was moved at some point through the senate or moved to negotiations between republicans and democrats in the senate to try to work something out. but still, you know, nobody is budging. the key at the end of the day is getting the president's signature. one key thing here, you know, mitch mcconnell is back on the playing field. he was pretty quite after he felt burned several weeks ago when he put a bill on the floor to fund the government and the president said he wasn't going to sign it. that's a problem. the fact that mitch mcconnell is at the table at least putting these pieces of legislation on the table, you know, these two votes today, both with the 60-vote threshold is key. you need all parts to work on this at the end of the day. we're not there yet. >> shepard: how do you see this going, chad? you've been around there a long time and know a lot of people there. do you have any thoughts on it? >> well, i've seen the government shut down in 1995 and 1996. that's back when i worked at c span. i saw the government shut down here, went on for 16 days with

ted cruz and obamacare. that was feisty. again, i'll come back to this term about events. sometimes there is something that happens that gets everybody to sober up and go to the table. is there a major market crash because of this. is there a riot somewhere. is there got forbid a national security crisis, a foreign policy event. i've said this before. harold mcmillan, the british prime minister said that events were the most important factor in determining public policy. that might be it. because otherwise, they're still just talking passed one another. as soon as these votes are over, the senate is gone and the house is gone as well. >> we'll come back in just a moment. now to the end of the back and forth between the state of the union. it's off. at least for now. president trump says he's postponing the state of the union. he used the word cancelled but they're postponing it until after nancy pelosi said he couldn't give the speech in the house chamber during the shut down. that was after the president

suggested he would show up anyway. it off now. rich edson reporting live at the white house. >> good afternoon, shep. seems as though the president won't show up anyway. he had floated the idea of a different site, perhaps the smaller senate chambers a site off of capitol hill somewhere else in the country. in the end, the president did say that it was speaker pelosi's decision to disinvite him to the house chamber for the state of the union and it's her prerogative to do so and he will deliver the state of the union after the shut down concludes. speaker pelosi was defending against claims that there would be an issue with the postponement of the state of the union. >> it's so unimportant in the lives of the american people in terms of especially those -- victims of the shut down, hostages to the president's

applauseline in a campaign speech. thank goodness we put that matter to rest and we can get on to the subject at hand. open up government. so that we can negotiate how best to protect our borders. >> for some white house officials, this is a missed opportunity to talk about something other than the shutdown and how light different areas of the president's agenda. >> i would love a state of the union message. i would love to talk about our energy reforms and regulatory reforms and immigration and border security reforms and lots of other things that will go. we made great strides in healthcare, for example. drug prices, by the way, prescription drug prices are coming down. i hope this will happen. >> last time there was a postponed state of the union address, 1986 right after the challenger tragedy during the reagan administration. shep? >> shepard: rich edson live.

thanks. let's go to john bussey now, associate editor at the "wall street journal." what are we witnessing here? >> we're witnessing the senate saying to america, we are working for you. we're working, we're here, we're voting. >> shepard: trying. >> yeah. it's inconsequential what we're voting over because neither of these bills are expected to advance. they disagree on what's in them, the democrats and republicans. some republicans vote for both. some democrats voted for one or the other. they can go back to their constituents and say i tried, i backed this legislation even with the foreknowledge that the way the two bills are constructed, one saying there's over $5 billion for a wall and the other saying no way, no wall funding, that they're not going to pass. they're not going to have sufficient support in the overall congress to get through. this is an exercise in optics at this point. >> shepard: "wall street

journal" have a lot of great reporters in that great america city. are any of those reporters hearing here's what somebody tells me mike bright the impasse? >> yes. chris peterson has been reporting on this now. i just gave the kind of hardline cynical view of this. the other side of this is that at minimum, there's discussion going on. right? there's a little solace to be drawn from that, that perhaps this discussion even if these two bills don't advance, they find a way to get out of this problem. so as long as they're talking, that is a good thing. i don't think anybody has seen a resolution to this yet. that's why we are where we are. the administration is feeling the pressure of the 800,000 people that are on furlough, wilbur ross' comments to cnbc they can take out a loan. >> shepard: a pay-day loan. i wonder if he checks on what those cost.

>> the airline traffic association beginning to say this is beginning to impinge on the ability of flight controllers to do their job. this is bad not just optics and bad vibrations and news curves putting more pressure on the white house. in terms of legislation being proposed, we haven't seen something that is a true compromise or a true deal. >> the f.a.a., federal aviation administration just sent out a tweet. extraordinary -- this is second ago. and that tweet says the public can be assured that our nation's airspace is #safe. the faa felt compelled to do such a thing. normally this would mean they've been getting a lot of inquirien. personal anecdotes, you probably have one. i have a friend that is an air traffic controller who works in a large southern city at a center. she's like there's a lot of strain. there's a lot of people who, you

know, calling out sick and there's some segments, not that anything is left uncovered, but at some point, you know, you tell people you have to work, you're not furloughed, you have to work, we're not going to pay you. you can't take another job. single moms, it's rough. >> a lot of pressure. you're seeing that in the tsa, the coast guard. these are the core basic building blocks of american security. congress hears this, the white house hears this and they are trying to get out in front of any problem, hopefully one doesn't happen. but in problem that might happen. this is all being now very explicitly stated to the white house about the ramifications, the consequences of the decisions that was made to close the government as a way of putting pressure on congress to build this wall. so far it's not working. you look at pelosi's position. you say why should she cave on

this? this is a campaign promise that president trump put before the electorate. >> shepard: actually, it's not a promi promise. the promise is the mexicans will pay for it. >> this is not a way to resolved border security. a lot of things that you can do than building a wall first. you have to ask yourself, what is -- in the political interests of nancy pelosi to cave at this point. >> shepard: you can't find a political interest there. the only interest would be if the public started to blame her or blame her party. thus far by a wide margin, all the polls that i've read have deferred to you. >> same here. >> shepard: suggest the white house is getting the blame. i guess it's because people haven't forgotten that the president sat there with the leaders, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and said i'll carry the mantel, i'll wear this proudly, i'll close down the government and i won't blame you for it.

they said okay. >> you're also right. at a certain point, the public's inhappiness, people on furlough, people having trouble pay bills, you're getting more nervous about the security of airline travel and the pressure that the tsa is under at well. at a certain point that gets blamed across the board. it's not just the president that is a bad deal maker, it's the democrat in congress that are either a pad deal maker or being intransigent for political game. the public will say, you know, blame them all. >> shepard: has the "wall street journal" does reporting or investigations on potential long-term damage to the economy as a result of this? if so, how long is it and what are the specifics? >> so it's cumulative. every week, about 1 to 2 billion

in output is lost as a result -- >> shepard: $1 to $2 bill of what? >> economic output is lost per week. that's not a lot in a $20 trillion economy. as the weeks progress and as they build up and as consumers begin to wonder about the health of the economy as a result of this perhaps begin to constrain their spending. you're seeing move in consumer sentiment, that becomes cumulative and gets a big damaging. the markets are nervous about this. >> shepard: john, thanks. stay with us. breaking news now. the republican version of the let's reopen the government bill just failed. chad pergram is live up on capitol hill. chad, how close was it? >> not even close at all here. 51 to 47.

you would say okay, 51 votes, that's a majority. this was a procedural vote. they needed 60. the fact that they were nine shy tells you a lot. there was one democratic yes. joe manchin, the democratic senator from west virginia. among the republican nos tom cotton from arkansas and mike lee, the republican from utah. another vote will start in a minute. these were these competing side by side plans. republicans first, that failed. this would reopen the government through the end of september. fund the border wall, provide provisions for democrat recipients. now the democrats with a temporary bill which would fund the government through february 28. this is a procedural vote, shep. needs 60 yays. we expect some republican defections here. we're looking at going back to my list, susan collins of maine, lisa murkowski of alaska and gory gardner of colorado. both of these will fail, but the key here is that the senate is

taking its first votes on ending the government shut down since late december, before christmas. these are markers that the senate is throwing down to say, we can't get the 60 votes on either republican plan or a democratic plan, shep. >> shepard: john bussey, unusual for mitch mcconnell specifically to bring anything up that is not going to get the president's signature. this is happening for a marker and -- >> benchmarks to show the public we're trying to do something, setting down the benchmarks to say okay, here's where the democrats are, here's where the republicans are. let's see where we are to move toward the middle. just to show the public that the senate is trying to do something. >> shepard: show that they're trying. >> and failed. >> shepard: they failed on the republican version. in just a few minutes, they'll fail on the democratic version. in the aftermath of every great fail what does one do? take a three-day weekend.

and they will. coming up, spectacular sunrise? is it there? spectacular, you know. but for residents that haven't seen a single sunrise in 66 days, this was cause for dance. the sun return in barrow, alaska. you have a front row seat as this reporting continues on this thursday afternoon. ♪

they just voted on a republican version of the open the government bill that included money for a wall and it failed. now they're votes on a democratic version of a bill to reopen the government that does not include funding for a wall. it's anticipated that it will fail. when we get the actual results, we'll bring them to you. the senate intelligence committee sending president trump's former fixer a subpoena. that's according to cohen's attorney, lanny davis. yesterday attorney davis and michael cohen said that michael cohen was postponing his testimony before the house committee because the president and his lawyers threatened cohen's family. president trump responded saying cohen is threatened by the truth. the president and his attorney, rudy guliani, have also suggested publicly that made the feds should investigate cohen's father-in-law. now cohen's attorney is calling for a criminal investigation of

guliani for what? witness tampering. catherine herridge reporting live from washington. >> shep, the lawyer for michael cohen called on the house to take action against the president and his lawyer, rudy guliani. >> the house of representatives now has an obligation, a resolution of censure when the president of the president of the united states intimidates a witness. so is a federal criminal investigation of rudy guliani for witness tampering, calling out a man's father-in-law and wife in order to intimidate the witness is not fair game. >> the subpoena from the intelligence committee led by richard burr and mark warner is significant because this committee may be the only one still operating on the hill and doing an investigation that has bipartisan support. their work has had a focus on russian interference and the intelligence implications rather

than the politics of the issues. after cohen's team postponed testimony in the house, the chairman of the oversight committee says he will get answer from the president's former lawyer. >> we will let you know how to we plan to proceed. we will get the testimony as sure as night become day and day becomes night. >> the president called cohen a bat lawyer. he said "he will not be sadly testifying before congress and using the lawyer of crooked hillary clinton to represent him. gee, how did that happen?" the president told the reporters that the threats against him are not credible. >> he says he's been threatened by you and -- >> i'd say he's been threatened by the truth. he's only been threatened by the truth. >> the senate subpoena sets a timetable of two weeks before cohen has to report to prison to begin his jail sentence, shep. >> shepard: thanks, catherine herridge. folks sweating through the

locals there eat whale blubber in the winter and many ride around on snow machines. you can't get out of barrow. there's no road, not one. and it's dark. all winter. that ended for just a bit yesterday. until then, folks have not seen sunlight. no sunrises, no sunset since november 18 last year. the reason, it's so far north. given the earth's tilt, the sun has missed them. during the winter the pole is tilted away. this is the video showing short-lived sunshine in the city yesterday afternoon. the first glimpse of it there since november. the sun came up at 1:04 p.m. and set 71 minutes later. it was a little overcast. probably a lot of folks missed it. a few we know were loving life, a scientist for barrow posted

>> shepard: voting, voting. watch us vote. they're finishing up the vote. the democratic version of the open up the government bill. and chad pergram is with us. chad, what is the word there? >> this vote is still open. the democratic plan, to invoke cloture. we have more defections from the republican side of the aisle than we had on the democratic side of the isle for the republican plan a few minutes ago. so far we've had republican senators lamar alexander of tennessee, johnny isaac son of georgia, lisa murkowski and susan collins vote for the democrats. what does that mean?

when they close the votes, the democratic plan scored more votes than the republican plan. the plan propounded by the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and president trump. that's significant. this is a more narrow plan. it's just to reopen the government through february 28. so you know, the real time analysis here, shep, is that maybe the passage is get the government back open and negotiate other things. that's something that nancy pelosi has talked about for a long time. let's just get the government open. what you're starting to see are cracks in that dam of people saying, all right, we're willing to go along with this for a while. what they're trying to do now is maybe just get the government open and that's it. >> the bill bailed. john cornyn is at the lectern. >> my friend from texas, could you give us and idea how many time use be using on the floor before we have the time -- we were supposed to come after you. that's my reason for raising that issue. >> i promised my friend from

voted -- who voted yes? >> here's who i have. alexander of tennessee, retiring, johnny isaac son of georgia. lisa murkowski, republican of alaska, a moderate. susan collins, republican of maine and cory gardner from colorado. the politics in colorado have swung since he was first elected as a freshman in 2014. >> shepard: so those defections, can we expect that at some point there might be more? if you get to 60, you can get something done. >> again, the math is the math. they got to 52. a long shot to get to 60. >> shepard: i'll say. all right. should there be more from the floor, we'll let you know. first, breaking news now on fox news channel. nicholas maduro, the head of venezuela, said to have been a

fraud, he says he's closing its embassy and all of its consulates in the united states after the united states backed his political rival. it's a crisis full blown in venezuela now. it's still unfolding and it's certainly has huge global implications as countries pick sides between the two. who both now claim power. steve harrigan reporting. he's covered venezuela extensively for years. who is this thinking on how this will play out, steve? >> in the short term, it looks like venezuela and the u.s. could possibly be on a collision course. we just learned that the u.s. called for a u.n. security council discussion on saturday. basically you have two presidents in venezuela, maduro elected fraud lengthily according to the u.s. he says he's going to kick out all u.s. diplomats in the next 7 72 hours.

and guaido said the diplomat it's can stay. what will happen saturday morning? will maduro try to use the force of his office to remove u.s. diplomats? he's doing everything he can to inflame public opinion against the u.s. telling his supporters the time for gringo interventions in south america is over. shepard? >> shepard: what about longer terms, steve? >> it seems like countries are lining up the support one of the presidents or the other. behind maduro, the most significant players are russia, china, bolivia and turkey. behind guaido we have the u.s., canada and most of south america. as far as the military goes, the top figures say they are still with maduro. it's not clear about the mid level officers. we could see a real test in his control over the military if the demonstrators push it, trying to get closer to presidential palace, will the military fire on them and will they arrest this man that says he's the

interim president, guaido. in the past, maduro would grab the opposition leader and throw them in solitary confinement. he's not done it yet. shepard? >> shepard: the demonstrations continue across the country. think what it would be like to go food shopping only to find rows of empty shelves or if you or a loved one got sick and the only option was a hospital from the 19th century. from the people of venezuela, that's every day. trace gallagher with the real on the ground. trace? >> yeah, the economic crisis in venezuela has hit a point where the currency is almost worthless. some of it is worthless. if you have a billion bolivar in venezuela, it's the equivalent of $40 here in the u.s. new currentsy below 1,000 bolivar, it's not accented.

nicholas maduro would often have the government print more money to give to people. not only the economy in dire straits, the country is experiencing a crushing dead load with little means to pay it down, shep. >> shepard: trace, thank you. coming up, new details about a deadly shooting at a bank in central florida. investigators describing what went down as the gunman just kept shooting. this is huntsville, alabama. aka, rocket city, usa. this is a very difficult job. failure is not an option. more than half of employees across the country bring financial stress to work. if you're stressed out financially at home, you're going to be too worried to be able to do a good job. i want to be able to offer all of the benefits that keep them satisfied. it is the people that is really the only asset that you have. put your employees on a path to financial wellness with prudential. bring your challenges.
