kasie, good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning. lawmakers here at the capitol until a few hours ago. a rare and private conversation and drama playing out in a public way on the senate floor late into the night. ultimately, there was no deal. this morning, the u.s. government closed for business. >> the ayes are 50. >> reporter: lawmakers failing to strike a compromise on immigration. protection for so-called d.r.e.a.m.ers went south. despite last minute negotiations after the vote called. the senate chamber at times tense. party leaders huddling on and off the floor. but no deal. >> american people should expect better. >> this is no way to conduct the nation's business. >> reporter: after weeks of business pointing, a frantic race to cut a deal. earlier in the day, a promising sign. the president asking democratic leader chuck schumer to lunch at the white house. after cheeseburgers together?

>> we have a good number of disagreements. discussions continue. >> reporter: both sides said things are looking up. >> we are close. >> we think it is a positive step. >> reporter: the high stakes negotiations continuing through the day and late into the night. leaders meeting behind closed doors with white house aides. another call from the president to schumer about a temporary fix. outside the capitol, democrats firing up the base at the late night rally with d.r.e.a.m.ers before coming back inside to continue what to do. republicans still hopeful. >> what will happen? will we shutdown? >> if there is a shutdown, we failed the country. i hope not. >> i think there will be some deal. i can't imagine we will shutdown. just try to get there. >> reporter: with just hours left on the clock, the president weighing in on twitter. not optimistic. not looking good for our great military or safety and security on the dangerous southern border.

democrats want a shutdown to diminish the success of the tax cuts and what they are doing for the booming economy. finally a late night vote. not finished until after midnight with no path forward. the blame game beginning. >> the government shutdown was 100% avoidable. the senate democrats chose to filibuster a non controversial funding bill. >> there is no one -- no one who deserves the blame for the position we find ourselves in more than president trump. >> reporter: in the end, out of time. d.r.e.a.m.ers still hanging in the balance. at this hour, it is just not clear how this ends. it could start in the house of representatives. they are coming in at 9:00 this morning. they have big meetings at 10:00. that could be a shorter term funding bill to reopen the doors than what they talked about last night. at this point, we don't know, craig. >> kasie, for people at home

wondering if republicans control the senate, why couldn't they get it passed and keep the government open. >> reporter: it is an arcane prefer. they control 51 votes. they needed 60. because democrats stood united, they could not get the votes they needed. they lost a couple of republicans. it is back to the drawing board. >> kasie hunt on capitol hill. thank you. president trump was supposed to celebrate the anniversary of his inauguration this weekend at the mar-a-lago estate in florida. instead the author of "art of the deal" stayed in washington to try to get a deal, but this time no deal. we have kristen welker with the latest from the white house. good morning. >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning. this shutdown is an embarrassment for the white house because it falls on the one-year anniversary of the president taking office. he was planning to be in mar-a-lago celebrating the first

year at the high dollar gala. instead, he is at the white house looking for a way out of the washington mess. the president up and tweeting putting the blame squariely on democrats. this is a one-year anniversary and the democrats wanted to give me a nice present. vice president mike pence in cairo pointing the finger at democrats overnight. take a listen. >> it is disappointing to every american that democrats in the senate will shutdown the government and putting troops in harm's way. >> reporter: the president's views on the shutdown shifted during the spending fight in may. he tweeted our country needs a good shutdown to fix mess. the white house tried to walk back the comments at the time and there was not a shutdown at that time. then in 2013 in the shutdown

under obama. he said the democrats want the shutdown. arguing the buck stops with the president. that makes it difficult for the president to completely shift the blame now. especially since you were discussing republicans do control the white house and both chambers of congress. sheinelle and craig. >> kristen, thank you. >> what does it mean for you? who will feel the impact most? steve kornacki is here with us. steve, break it down. bargaining weekend deals, what changes can we expect monday morning? >> look. we are in a shutdown now technically. monday is the start of the workweek. we feel the impact more. right now, we can tell you a couple of the immediate things here. one, a military personnel active duty are not being furloughed. they will be on duty. if god forbid, a service member killed while the government is shutdown, there is a death benefit the government pays to the family. those would not be processed as

long as a shutdown is in place. we see passport processing. federal office buildings are shutdown. a passport facility in the federal office building, you won't go and get your passport done. smithsonian museum and the national zoo, they will be open, but monday morning, shutdown. those are the things that stop. some things that continue, the u.s. mail delivers on saturday. it will still deliver on saturday. that will be open. if you get your social security or medicare check. that will be open. the administration announcing yesterday as well. national parks. this has been something in past shutdowns from a public relations standpoint has been a factor. people showing up and finding the gates closed. the administration trying to head that off yesterday. they announced the national parks stay open. we say who is not furloughed? who has to show up for work and continue on the job? air traffic controllers and tsa agents. they will be there.

active duty military. those are some of the things. one of the things here saturday morning, the government technically shutdown. as i said. it is not until monday if there is no deal is when we feel the effect. >> a good explanation. steve, can you come here? we have a couple of more questions. >> i'm on my way. >> this was a game of chicken with each party predicting the other party blamed. the question in your mind, what do you think? which party or who will be blamed? >> the polling we had before this says the voters at least heading into this were more likely to blame republicans. trump. some combination thereof. than the democrats. the democrats saw advantageous position. the republicans believe they can shift the blame. they said we passed this through the house and got 50 votes in the senate. democrats made us get 60. they filibustered it. that is the republican argument. >> the president paints himself as a dealmaker in chief if you

will. they were summoned to the white house and no deal. the immigration meeting at the white house last week. that blew up. what does the shutdown do for the president's image as a dealmaker? >> it is politically speaking his biggest vulnerability. the one-year anniversary mark with the symbolism. you will hear democrats saying this. they will say, look, the president says he will make washington work. he cannot get the government open with his party running everything. that is the argument. the question is how does this end? if it ends in a few days or week in the way the republicans feel good about, can he say, it took a shutdown to get the deal i was looking for. a to be continued aspect. >> our man steve kornacki this morning. people across the country are expected to take the streets later today for the second annual women's march. the first happening the day trump was inaugurated in 2017. what do they hope to accomplish?

something. they ran toward the women's march. whether it was against trump, we said we have a new set of activists we never had. >> did you see the changes you hoped to see? >> we have over 2,000 women in our country saying we are running for office. people going to town halls. people registering to vote. saving health care and standing up for d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> reporter: that is why so many are coming back this year and urging other women to join the fight. >> we want to encourage people to get out and vote. >> reporter: today's march, a contrast to the right-to-life rally in washington on friday. >> the march for life is born out of love. >> reporter: the president energizing his conservative base. putting abortion rights advocates on edge. >> we have seen this growing sense of need to stand up and use our voices and votes at the

ballot box. >> reporter: many say whatever your stance, now is the time to fight. >> it's not always about sitting on the sidelines and spectating. it is about getting into the game and getting dirty. >> reporter: that march begins here today at 12:30 p.m. already 80,000 people have signed up on the new york facebook page. hundreds and thousands are expected across the country. craig and sheinelle. >> you can see more across the country and the women behind last year's march on "nbc nightly news." and new information about the death of rocker tom petty. overnight, his family released a statement saying the rock star died of an accidental prescription overdose. an accident caused by a severe amount of pain. here is nbc's tammy leitner. >> i want to thank you for 40 years of a really great time. ♪ i'm free
