is -- it's unexpected, but we just have to deal with it. with no end in sight, this is like the most horrible experience ever. >> as they say, the whole world is watching. those were just some of the federal workers, aka our federal ♪. this morning the government shutdown enters day 33 and the senate is now scheduled to vote tomorrow on two competing bills that would end the stalemate but both pieces of legislation are expected to fail. despite nancy pelosi's state of the union, president trump is moving forward with plans for the address. plus the supreme court votes to reinstate a direction policy that would ban most transgender people from military service. good morning, everyone, it's

dwe wednesday, january 23rd. the first move since the shutdown began the u.s. senate will vote tomorrow on competing measures to break the deadlock now in its 33rd day. the republican proposal will provide money for a southern border wall, plus daca recipients. the democrats, though, will offer to fund the fost until february 8th and continue negotiations. now, neither is expected to achieve the 60 votes necessary to move forward. mitch mcconnell has appeared to back off no show votes of passing but failure would push leaders towards a compromise. >> and president trump tweeted yesterday, quote, never seen mitch mcconnell and the republicans so united on an ash as they are on the border wall. including newly the sworn in senator mitt romney in an interview with utahpolicy.com. .

. >> meanwhile, a house democrat says it's time to fund the wall. congressman colin peterson of minnesota told a local radio station quote -- local radio station quote --

and party leadership remain locked in their positions tuesday. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell to fund the wall. democrats demanding to reopen the government first. >> the president has made a comprehensive and bipartisan offer that would accomplish everything democrats have said and needs to be accomplished right now, immediately. all that needs to happen is for our democratic friends to agree it's time to put the country ahead of politics, take yes for an answer and vote to put the standoff behind us. >> it would be easier to open up government. open the government. let's talk. you cannot have the president every time he has an objection to say, i'm shut down government

until you come to my way of thinking. understand, that is a part of the point of this. this is we hold the place hostage now, they're hostage forever. >> reporter: and the fbi is renewing calls to reopen the government as agents warn the shutdown is affected law enforcement operations. a new report issued by the union that represents fbi claims that the funding freeze is hampering efforts to affect crime. they are investigating ms-13 gang members, it has resulted in 23 indictments. the probe has been hampered by the inability to pay for a spanish interpreter. they claim the bureau has not been able to secure staff or safe places to meet with informants or pay for them or their information, according to report this means not being able to make regular meetings and missing out on information altogether concerning the gap in

intel relating to national security. >> incredible. all right the white house says the president still plans to give his state of the union in the house chamber next tuesday. for more on that i want to bring nbc news national political reporter heidi pryzbilla. >> hi, that's right. >> that comes to save the address for when the government reopens. the white house has reportedly sent an e-mail to the house sergeant at arms requesting a walk-through in preparation for the speech. here's the white house discussing its plans. >> nancy pelosi invited the president. he accepted. she cited security concerns as a potential reason to they that. the united states secret service and dhs have addressed those concerns. and we're moving forward until something changes on that front. >> will the president consider other option if the house is not opened to her in. >> if nancy pelosi chooses to go in that direction the president will continue to speak to the

american people and i'm sure he'll do that on that evening as well. >> nancy pelosi does not dictate to the president when he will or will not have a conversation with the american people. >> what's the president's plan b there? how would he deliver it or where would he deliver it? >> there are many ways he can deliver the state of the union address. i'm not going to get ahead of anything he would announce. >> "the washington post reports that the president is preparing two versions of the speech. one it could be delivered in washington and another elsewhere. when asked about white house plans to move forward, despite her requests to delay or deliver the speech in writing, the house speaker said, quote, we just want people to get paid for their work. >> what do you make of this standoff between these two? >> well, i guess we're getting a little of a civics lesson in how state of the union speeches work. right? the president actually can't go there unless speaker pelosi the speaker of the house invites him and each chamber passes a

resolution. she is certainly dean denying him a platform that he had wanted to use to stand up there and beat up on democrats on border security in front of the whole nation so there is a political can you lus. democrats say there is also a security issue. right? because have you all of the members of the government there, during a shutdown. but the security people would still show up. so it is, in essence, a political argument here about her kind of taking away this platform from him. i think he's still going to do it. >> really quickly, i want to ask, do you think this was a slight miscalculation by nancy pelosi or what are you hearing about it by doing so it has created one more theater for trump. eighth bit of a zroox. more importantly, it has now elevated his speech, where people may not have necessarily turned into a work state of the union speech. people may be inclined to tune in to see what he has to say. >> once again making it so political and taking attention that this is about the furloughed workers that aren't

getting paid. >> i think it depends on the content of his speech is. if he shows up and turns it into yet another campaign-style rally. >> does not the state of the union is about. >> it's not going to elevate his cause with people who aren't already true believers and it's not going to compel members of congress to be moved. right now, you do see a little bit of movement in that some moderate democrats are saying, you know what, give the man a vote. let's do something, anything, to get the government opened. if he comes out guns ablazing and just hammers democrats and seems really unreasonable, it's not going to move his case. >> so the people that have dug in their support for both side of this thing, there will come a breaking point to all this when this back and forth continues on and on and on as the shutdown continues. i feel at some point, democrats and republicans, if you blame the republicans for this, you will start to blame the democrats. if you blame the democrats, they will soon blame the republicans.

>> they can have a negotiation. there is all kind of language we can say we are doing this contingent upon having a vote, a negotiation, anything. >> are you up to what might happen with those two measures? >> no at least we're having votes. right? so you want to be an optimist. at least we're having votes. both votes will go down. then we'll look at round three. >> yeah. geeze. >> thank you so much. we'll talk to you in a little bit. the supreme court yesterday allowed the trump administration to enforce its ban on transgender individuals from serving the united states in the military while challenges to the policy are being heard in the lower courts. the court did not offer comment on the 5-4 decision, which was split between the court another conservative and liberal members. president trump's ban impacts about 2400 service members. back in july, 2017 the president tweeted he was banning

transgenders from military service. according to him, quote, our military must be based on decisive victory and cannot be burdened with medical costs the transgender in the military would entail a voting poll shows president trump would lose to every one of seven potential or announced democratic candidates who have entered the race so far. democratic funding polling shows trump loses to double digits to vice president biden and bernie sanders. to trump's 41%. sanders. to trump's 41% . >> i'm going to bet the president will not be quoting those polls today. >> he may in the way he can say they were always fake, always

employees who will go out without pay. the agency says there was a 7.5% scheduled absences, up from a year ago. a union representing prison officers in kentucky has put up billboards demanding that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell end the shutdown. law enforcements are not getting paid. the members of the coast guard are about to miss their second paycheck in a row. they have been required to work without pay since the beginning of the year. in a message to service members, admiral charles schultz the commandment of the u.s. commandant called this situation unacceptable. >> for five plus weeks into the anxiety and stress of this government lapse and your non-pay. you as members of the armed forces should not be expected to should their burden. ultimately, i find it unacceptable that coast guard men and women have to rely on

food pantries and donations to get through day-to-day life as service members. >> as the impact of the government shutdown is felt across the country, stories of communities coming together to offer relief have begun to emerge. as i found out yesterday, something as simple as a hot meal can make a big difference. >> reporter: on 114th street in harlem. mem ba's, a local favorite is one of the few restaurants in new york offering free hot meals to federal workers. >> it's not always the big things. it's the small things we can do as a community and collectively as a neighborhood. when you look at harlem, that's what we are. we are a neighborhood. we ban together. we wanted to invite everyone, all federal employees inside and outside the community to let them know we are here for them. i can do this every day in a year and there would be no way to thank them enough. >> reporter: these women have worked for customs border protection for the past 22 years now under the department of homeland security. >> that's the main part right

there. the bills are adding up, no paycheck. the rent adding up, no paycheck. so right now we're hang income there. we hope there is a decision soon. you know, the friday the another no paycheck. >> reporter: do you guys feel like you're basically pawns? >> absolutely. no ifs, ands, or buts about it. i want to go back to my lifeing. i have been with customs for 32 years and counting. i just need to get back to work and do what i do. >> reporter: two paychecks, first time in 32 years? >> i contemplated clearly taking something out of my retirement just to get through f. this goes past this paycheck. >> reporter: that will be huge penalties for that. >> yeah. it will be. >> it's something you have to think about if you have bills to pay. my family and my son works at tsa. every day i see my son going to

work without a check. it's heart felt. you know i feel upset. i really feel upset. >> does he go out of a sense of duty just to make sure that he? >> i think he does, he does. he's a mill len yam. you know, he wants to do the right thing and that's the whole thing. we all want to do the right thing and i hate to say it, walk right now is not doing the right thing. >> it's unbelievable, guys, the optimism that the people that are there the federal workers that are there that haven't received pay have and melba wilson doing a fantastic thing. a private business offering food. it makes a big difference to people there. they want to be recognized. you know, a lot of them don't know where they will go for their next paycheck and have bills. especially in new york. the cost of live secretary tremendously high. >> it adds a support that they feel like they are lacking when are you a federal worker. you choose to work for the government of your country and yet you are not getting paid for it. then you feel like you are a pawn when you ask that question.

i mean, that's awful. that's an awful feeling just that you are literally just a number. >> and alicia and antoine net, they work down at the world trade center. they have been doing their job for 32 years. it's really -- >> i was going to say i was moved by her comments saying we want to do the right thing. it's a poignant reminder all these people that work for the government want to do the right thing. you hope politician would have the same sentiment towards the government employees. we have to wait to see. >> thanks, guys. the trump administration is dismissing mouptding criticism which have gone from a fear daily occurrence to now non-existent. white house press secretary sarah sanders has not held a briefing since december 18th, marking the longest stretch with that one. her deputy says briefings will make a return when they are needed. >> sarah sanders will absolutely

be back at this podium talking to the press. >> no definitive date on that? >> i'm sorry? >> no definitive date on that beginning? >> oh. no it's not that they've ever stopped. it's just that sometimes we need to come to the podium and communicate things. sometimes we don't. >> president trump also weighed in on the dramatic decline if press briefings, tweeting the reason sarah sanders does not go to the podium much anymore is that the press covers her so rudely and inaccurately. in particular certain members of the press. i told her not to bother. hence the term fake news. in a statement the white house correspondents association olivia knox says the trump's administration move sets a terrible precedent. republicans on the house oversight committee are concerned about what michael cohen will say before he testifies before the panel next month. nbc news' national reporter heidi pryzbilla is back with us with more on this. >> that's right n. a letter to

cohen's attorney, jim jordan and mark meadows want to know why the former lawyer is testifying if he won't discuss matters under investigation by the special counsel's office. the southern district of new york and the new york attorney general. jordan and meadows also questioned the relevance of cohen's testimony to the committee's role of oversight, claiming they were told by cohen's media adviser lanny davis the soul appearance is to share his personal anecdotes about trump. the republicans quoted davis as saying that he pushed cohen to testify. they also questioned who was paying davis, writing, quote, if he is providing free media services or legal services or if someone else is paying davis' fees, it adds to the perception that cohen's appearance is a media stunt initiated, produced and financed by career democrat political operatives as a way of scoring political points against

the president. if you thought this appearance wasspectacle, consider the announcement representatives like alexandria jackson jax /* /- alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> tell us about what this means and a message it is sending. >> this is a huge victory for the progressive wing of the conference. it was not so long ago that speaker pelosi's speakership was really being threatened by a rebellion and part of the deal cut there was that these younger members, these progressive members would have a real voice and power within the party. this is a major what i to do that. to put them on these committees. now, if you will remember, alexandria ocasio-cortez has also been pushing for this separate green new deal kind of commission. she was really swatted done on that. this is a way of soothing some of that saying you know what,

will you still have a voice. you will be empowered on the committee. these members will not be running the show because the schedule and the actual issues that will come before the committee will still be decided by the committee elders. >> it's hard to look at michael cohen's testimony with the back and forth with rudy guiliani this week. i'm curious what you have been hearing of how much he has become a liability for this president in this white house or is this, in fact, a part of the strategy of guiliani to kind of sew some discord and chaos so that when michael cohen comes out in front of congress and says, for example, yes this lasted well into 2016, into the november, even up until inauguration day, guiliani will say, we have already said that. we know that that was in our answers to mueller. >> they're ahead of it. >> i would say there is strategy, except we have been here before with rouge rouge making comments that then needed to be cleaned up. the difference is that this time there is actual reporting trump.

is displaced with what rudy guiliani said. because he put the president right in the center of this trump tower moscow deal all the way leading up to his actual election, which raises huge red flags about what the motivation was there at a time when the president is standing before the american people changing his platform, calling on russia to hack hillary clinton, if there wasn't some kind of a pay day that he was expecting at the end of the election, if you really for instance wasn't expecting to be elected. what was his plan b? or was it something else? was it the occlusion question? but rudy guiliani, the actual statement gets way more coverage than the cleanup. >> that is the problem the president has, including rudy guiliani. >> thank you so much, we appreciate your insights. we'll see you in a little bit on "morning joe". still ahead, everybody, the labor strike comes to an end. >> we will have details on that

fears lingering in the market quite some time. u.s.-china trade headlines driving big market swings. that demonstrates what a headwind u.s.-china really is for markets. >> also weighing in on market was u.s.-china trade relations and contradicting reports and larry kudlow coming out and saying there is no cancellation. >> as you heard, there were swings on markets on the back of reports initially stating two chinese vice ministers were set to go to washington this week for preparatory talks ahead of next week's big talks between beijing and washington. according to these reports, the trump administration cancelled the talks because of a hold up between the administrations. but larry kudlow told cnbc no official meeting was scheduled

and not cancelled. taken taking, it renewed nerves around the negotiations of the u.s. and china. >> a lot hinging on this trade deal. live from london, thanks so much. coming up, a look at jonathan swan's one big thing. and a preview of votes on bills to wrap up the month-long stalemate and whether president trump will get behind either of the measures. >> and senator sherrod brown as to whether those bills will have an effect on his decision to test the presidential waters. (overlapping radio calls) there was a lot of people that didn't make it through that day. the first responders were there, and i did make it. thank you is, is nowhere near enough. ♪

thing today. >> among some republican senders, jared kushner has related to the white house officials the idea is provide a path for green cards to current daca recipients. 700,000 people who came to this country illegally, brought here as children by their parents and protected under the current daca law. >> how is that likely to play with trump's base if that materializes when everything suggests more conservative right wing elements of his base have been saying absolutely no to anything to trade on daca recipients or tps recipients and this seems like it would fit in that bill, seems like a non-starter to the president's base. >> i would play truly appallingly. i spoke to two republican members last night who caught wind of the idea now doing the round among senators and even some house members. one of them described it as

insanity. the other said they were characterizing jared kushner's thinking and said he wants to go big. now is not the time he wants to go big. he can with stand ann coulter but he can't lose sean hannity and the rest. looking at jared kushner's conversations with congress told me he hasn't been pushing this idea he related into the white house, he's talking and listening. i don't have any evidence -- >> the praise goes go big or go him. >> if it were to head to the hill, jonathan, how would it play out? >> you don't hit republicans with an idea like this, they peel off. you've barely barely got them together behind the proposal trump outlined over the weekend. >> let's talk a little bit about the state of the union in its own right has become a side circus to everything we're talking about in washington. will trump essentially call

nancy pelosi bluff and try to move forward with plans to deliver his own state of the union whether in the senate where he could get an invite or somewhere elsewhere it has more of a campaign style rally flavor to it? >> i spoke to a senior administration official who is privy to the internal conversations about this last night. it's very unlikely he'll go to the senate. that idea doesn't appear to be appealing to people internally. they are basically saying -- forcing nancy pelosi to formally rescind her invitation, saying she had already invited him and that the hurt she sent, which based her retraction on security concerns, saying, no, we checked with the secret service, it's all fine. they're trying to force her into actually rescinding it with the hope they will make her look petty. they do have a plan b i'm told, out of washington, d.c. i don't know the location for that, though. >> all right. jonathan swan, thank you.

we will be reading axios in a little bit. you, too, can sign up for the newsletter. >> thank you for joining us. "morning joe" starts right now. "morning joe" starts right now good morning. welcome to "morning joe." it is wednesday january 23rd. joe is still not feeling well. i think he will be back tomorrow. along with willie and me we have mike barnicle, nbc news political reporter and a professor, and economic analyst, steve rattner and former chairman of the republican national committee, now an msnbc political analyst, michael steele. we will get to the very latest with the shutdown in a moment. willie, i guess you know, in honor of joe, heidi and i are going to clean our purchases

because apparently there was a big story in the world of baseball, i will let you talk about it for a second. >> i will take my one second, thank you very much. even joe, a red sox fan is celebrating this guy. new class hall of famer heading to cooperstown including mike muhsinna and martinez and rivera and roy halladay and the best closer of all time, yankee great, mariano rivera. why is it obvious he is an all time great, he appeared on 445 ballots making him the first player ever to be voted in unanimously in the hall of fame. in his career, 11 runners scored on him over 141 post-season innings. that is fewer than the number of people, 12, who have walked on the moon, mike barnicle. a couple more stats.
