joining me is republican senator roger marshall of kansas, a medical doctor, but opposed to the mandate. senator marshall, thank you for coming on and welcome to "meet the press." >> thanks, chuck. glad to be here. >> let me ask you this: if you have no mandate, what is your plan to get more people vaccinated? it appears vaccines are still our only way out of this pandemic. >> boosters, boosters, boosters. that's what's going to save lives right now. but just bear with me. i need to stop and honor my boyhood hero bob dole who passed away this week, one of the greatest american heroes from the greatest generation. we want to stop and salute him. our plan is to be honest with americans. about 30% of americans right now have chosen not to get the vaccine. but what the biggest impact to be right now is to get boosters in to seniors. that's what's going to stop hospitalizations and stop deaths. if you're a senior citizen and haven't gotten your booster, shame on you. please go do that. if you have underlying health conditions, if you're diabetic, if you're overweight, please go get the boost

a board slammed him saying roger marshall is far more interested in fighting culture wars than he isc. that problem is epidemic right now. here's a brand-new example from missouri where the governor mike parson strenuously opposes mask mandates and came down with covid in september. now, get this, it turns out that his office requested a study about the effectiveness of mask mandates back in november. and when the report by the state department of health came back with data showing that counties with mask mandates had far lower case rates during the height of the delta wave, it was shelved. it would not have seen the light of day but for an information request from the covid-19 project. why would the state suppress data showing mask mandates saved lives? was it politically incorrect? well, that's the darkly ironic part in the show me state. especially when the state republican a.g. is suing counties to remove local mandates. but this is part of a red state political trend right now. and that's why the partisan divide over covid is so sick and so stark. the "washington post" phillip b

and roger marshall told our colleague moments ago he's willing to shut down the government over it.elosi condemned this possibility. let's listen to what she had to say. >> our men and uniform depend on nature our veterans depend on that. there's so much in the legislation that addresses our national security and, again, the sooner we can pass the full bill, the better. >> and there you see her talking about the stakes of a potential government shutdown which has happened several times in the previous administration and the trump administration. it could potentially happen again if there's no deal. senator chuck schumer, the majority leader speaking on the floor earlier blamed this on republican dysfunction. it's important to note the vs. majority of republicans don't want to go this route. they're having trouble controlling some of the most conservative senators in their caucus who want to pick this fight. >> i just heard in my ear from our producer that while we were talking before nancy pelosi walked off, she said she has the expectation the senate will pass this deal. let me tal

and the other senator, roger marshal, told me earlier, he, too, would threaten a government shutdown unless they get a vote on the amendment. one reason why the democrats are concerned about that is it could actually pass. joe manchin told me earlier today he could potentially support that amendment. he is reviewing it. he has not ruled out backing it. that means it could get added. that could create complications down the line. so the republicans want to set the threshold for this amendment. it's 60 votes where it would have no chance of passing. so this procedural fight could ball up then tire federal government which is why at the moment leaders are scrambling to try to get a deal. the house is expected to pass that funding bill today would that amendment. then they're going haggle over it before the deadline tomorrow to see if they could get a resolution. if not, the government could shut down. they need all 100 senators to agree, and at the moment, the agreement isn't there. >> where's mitch mcconnell because obviously he's been successful in the past of keeping his caucus in li

but roger marshal plans on blocking quick consideration of the bill as a means of protesting the employerne soft mandate, appearing to lead to a -- to could a lead to a short-term government shutdown. a essential funding defense funding bill was marc rowe rub yaoio obstetriced last night and with two weeks before we projected the hit the debt ceiling. converses between chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell on raising it appear to have gone nowhere. these are pieces of common sense legislation that lawmakers know they have to pass. the consequences of missing declines have real impact. we are flitting with awful close to the deadlines. may be number to it but this is not how government is supposed to work. i know we said it this yeevr, last year five years ago. it's like government dysfunction. you think it's at 11, 12, 13, 14 how much higher does the spinal tap amp go. ali joins us from capitol hill. we have a framework to avoid the government shutdown. the political theatrics of the senate, what's the time line here to get through -- to get through what some of the senators are trying to --

with him, senator roger marshall, a freshman senator. those two have the power to delay any funding bill long enough to cause a funding-- a government shutdown, at least into next week. however, in the past fe minutes, i understand that there is an emerging deal. senator marshall has confirmed, and i have sources in both parties and in both chambers, saying that there could be a vote now tonight because they're giving senator leigh what he wants-- a vote on his idea on opposition to vaccine mandates. why would senate democrats do that? because it's likely to fail. there's complicated reasons why, including an absence from one republican senator, but right now, it looks like senator leigh will get a vote tonight that he wants, and then this resolution to keep government funding could go through the senate and be passed as soon as tonight. >> woodruff: so the ice is breaking on that. meantime, lisa, is it your understanding that this question of vaccine mandates is a one-time thing, or is this something that we can see coming up again? >>

from roger marshall, "senator dole was a statesman of the highest order and one of the great legislatorsf all time. most important, he was forever a kansan who put service above self. i join them in holding the entire family in our prayers." other tweets, chuck grassley saying, "bob took me under his wing an i couldd not have had a better senator to learn from. god bless the great bob dole." and from senator bernie sanders, "bob served his country with courage on the battlefield and dignity in the senate. we set our condolences to his family." mitt romney, saying, "when i think of the greatest generation, i think of bob dole, a man who dedicated his life to serving our country. rest in peace. we will be praying for his family and loved ones." other statements yesterday, from former president donald trump, "bob dole was an american war hero and a true patriot for our nation. he served kansas with honor. and the republican party was made stronger by his service. our prayers are with elizabeth and his family members." we will go through more reaction, more statements for you, throughout thi

the and kansas republican senator roger marshal introduced an amendment that would prevent the use of money to carry out the vaccine mandate. let's give employers certainty. employs peace of mind that they will still have a job. this new year, but that amendment failed. no one wants to go to work and be worry. they might come home to their family with the deadly virus. but democrats criticize the group's demands calling the move a political stunt. how do they explain to the public that they're shutting down government because they don't want people to get vaccinated. the bill now heads to the president's desk where president biden has until the end of today to sign it. >> for now live in washington. i'm anna wiernicki rain and back to you. >> thank you for that update. anna. well, still coming up on the kron 00:00am morning news we could learn today if the parents of the suspected gunman in the michigan school shooting will be charged. we have the latest details in that investigation. once we get back. this holiday season. we look for tasty ways to celebrate. and this morning on time

kansas senator roger marshal argues federal vaccine mandates put hundreds of thousands of jobs at stake in his state. the benefits of stopping this outweigh any type risk utah senator mike lee. first wants a vote on their amendment to the fund, the mandates, the american people have a right to know through our votes where we stand. >> last month 15 gop senators including marshall lee and tennessee. senator marsha blackburn. >> wrote a letter saying they would use all means at their disposal to oppose vaccine mandates. i'm not an anti-vax. are. >> i've been vaccinated. but i am anti mandate. blackburn says it's up to democrats to remove the mandates and avoid a shutdown protecting the american people. >> and i think that we can do that. i think that the government can continue to run. they have the c r. i'm not going to vote for it. any one senator can cause a brief government shutdown. >> but president biden hopes it won't come to that. i don't believe that will happen. >> and the stopgap bill would extend spending to february 18th keeping it current levels but also including 7 billion

but right now, it is being held up by two republican senators, mike lee of utah and roger marshall of kansas, who are protesting president biden's vaccine mandate. if a shutdown does happen, it is not expected to last long, but it could cost the economy more than $257 million a day. national parks could close and 42% of employees with the department of health and human services would be furloughed in the middle of a pandemic. nearly every single senator wants to avoid this, including republican leader mitch mcconnell, and senate majority leader chuck schumer calling this the republican anti-vaccine shutdown. david? >> following it all for us, as you always do. rachel scott, thank you. >>> to the u.s. and russia tonight. secretary of state antony blinken in sweden with a warning for russia, meeting with foreign minister sergey lavrov and threatening, quote, significant consequences if russia moves against ukraine. recent satellite images, as we've reported here, showing russian troops amassing on ukraine's border. president biden is expected to call vladimir putin in the coming days. >

of course, these republicans including mike lee of utah, roger marshall of kansas, and even ron johnsone hoping the senate was hoping to pass this stopgap measure is to have a quick vote where all 100 senators would agree to pass the bill, which means it would happen quickly and it woe prevent a shutdown from happening tomorrow night. however, with these senators threatening to block that, it could be possible that there would be a shutdown through the weekend and into next week, which is why that is a likely scenario and it could push the shutdown to possibly happening. however, bottom line here is multiple other republican senators are very optimistic that if there is a shutdown, laura, a big if, it would only be for a short time because really these conservative republicans are just trying to send the message to voters back home they just don't agree with these vaccine mandates even though in the end they'll still be included because democrats have the majority. so bottom line there could be a shutdown, but it wouldn't be for that long. that's a big if, of course, laura. >> always a

senators in particular have been demanding to be added as part of this bill, those two senators roger marshallbject to any effort to have a quick vote to keep the government open unless he gets a separate amendment voted on to defund the vaccine mandate on businesses. now the key point here is he wants the threshold to be set on passage as a simple majority. that means it could potentially pass if they get one democrat to vote yes. the one who could is joe manchin, who told us this morning he is not ruling out backing that amendment. democrats don't want to be added to this and they're not going to allow this to pass at a simple majority, which raises the questions about how this can be resolved. but the larger issue is the leadership has just released this deal, has cut this deal to keep the government open on the brink of the shutdown deadline. in order the get anything passed in the senate, they need all 100 senators to agree to a quick vote. otherwise it could be pushed to next week and there could be last-minute drama for a brief government shutdown if any of the republican senators insis

democratic senator kirsten gillibrand of new york and republican senator roger marshall of kansas.the republican. i appreciate your being here and want to ask what you both hope to accomplish with this. it seems to me that in this investigation, we'll be finding a lot of ways in which perhaps we fell short in responding to the pandemic, when you look at the u.s. government response to covid-19 and the effectiveness of covid-19 messaging. but is it addressing issues so that we can reattain our leadership on the world stage when it comes to response? >> you know, it is all the above. mika, let's start with the origins of covid. i do think it is important, did this come from nature or the laboratory? did it leak from a laboratory? there is a lot to be learned. if a plane crashes, we go to all lengths to find out why it crashed. as a physician, a patient dies, we want to do an autopsy or offer that to the family. we have 700,000 reasons why we need to explore this. more than just the origins, but let's look at our response. we made mistakes. let's look at the mistakes and learn from th

now that's going to fail, but the defund vaccine mandate, you're looking at mike lee from utah, roger marshall where the vaccination rate is like 55%, 56%. it's below the national average. it's pulling the numbers back, and in their states, in many of the states where you're seeing yes votes on this amendment, they have vaccination rates below 50%, and real feeling among many of their constituents that it's a civil liberties issue, et cetera, so it's become politicized and this will come up in primary contests, this will come up in the 2024 presidential primary, some of the republicans you see talking about people's right not to get vaccinated, these are people who are either facing primary challenges or are going to be running for president in 2024 and you're seeing that play out. >> paul, it does seem to be kind of a hypocritical position to be attacking for the president's performance on covid and at the same time, trying to undercut what the president has done to get more people to get vaccinated. >> right, it's like they're rooting for the virus instead of the victims. and i think margare
