claire mccaskill having sided with the republicans, she is up for election in 2018, now wants to make sure that her constituents know that she wants military meshmbers to get their checks. jon tester, similar situation. he voted the other way from claire mccaskill, but wants to show he is getting up there saying let's get this thing done. let's listen in for a minute to mitch mcconnell. >> it's my hope that an agreement can be reached. we'll be here in session tomorrow working to finally resolve the way forward. senators should expect votes tomorrow. >> the clerk will call the role. >> mr. alexander. >> all right. they're doing roll call, and they are about to adjourn the senate, and the house will be in session tomorrow. house members were informed earlier to be in town, to be available starting at 9:00 a.m. and to expect votes. expecting votes means stay close. don't go places where we can't reach you if we need to vote. remember, if the senate comes to some agreement, if as tonight they were negotiating and talking, mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer and a whole lot of other senator

claire mccaskill is on the senate floor. do we want to listen in noh that? >> in other instances where we have had a shutdown. i remember in 2013 we did this right off the bat. i want to make sure that tonight we send a very clear signal that we don't want one moment to pass with there being any uncertainty of any soldier anywhere in the world that they will be paid for the valiant wore they do on behalf of our national security. i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to the immediate consideration of calender number 36, hr-1301. that the amendment at the desk providing for continuation appropriations and pay and death benefits for members of the armed services be considered and agreed to. the bill amended, and the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. >> is there objection? >> mr. president, reserving the right to object, we passed some of the legislation during the government shutdown back in 2013. my hope is that we can restore funding for the entire government before this becomes n

claire mccaskill, joe manchin. heikcamp was another.hen it comes to the politics of this, john tester in montana. montana, a deep a red a state as there is ever going to be. he is a democrat. he is up for reelection this year. he is sticking with the democrats. he's sticking with the base. and i think the calculation is, look, no matter what i do, no matter how i vote, republicans, conservatives, they're going to put somebody up against me who will make a strong appeal to base voters in montana. i stand absolutely no chance of winning them over even if i voted with republicans on this measure last night. he did not. he voted with the democratic leadership unlike the democrats from red states. john tester and others look at this and say all the energy is on the side of those on the left, the far left of the spectrum in the democratic party. i'm going to stick with them. they are my pwefpt prospects. that's how the politics are playing out on a micro level here. >> thank you, mike, for capturing the base at the democratic senate. and they

claire mccaskill and john mansion and joe donnelly and jon tester, they need a deal as bad as donald trump and mitch mcconnell. >> and if this goes february 28 and government funding, debt ceiling, daca. it just feels as if that debt ceiling thing becomes a big hanging meatball. >> i don't see how it is better for republicans to wait 30 days. i don't. it is not in their interest. >> the democrats are the incumbents on the ballot in the senate and the house. >> it is control of the government. >> talking about john kelly here, there is one thing to have trump and john kelly at odds on this. this is not the first time that the president has been upset at something c-- john kelly said. but the political shop is under fire, is that fair to say and the big complaint is that john kelly doesn't understand politics and if you have a chief of staff that doesn't understand politics you can't run the white house in an election year. what do you say. >>? he has the toughest job in the job besides being quarterback of the redskins and i think this president came to washington vowing to do things

if you see claire mccaskill, a democrat, in a state that trump just rompted in missouri, they have to be as attentive to the mccaskills as they are harris or -- >> except mccaskill of course this weekend can say the president -- or president's supporters can put up ads all you want. and claire mccaskill will be able to say to her home state, no, sir, on saturday morning, i moved to support the military and it was the republicans who blocked it. jonathan, last question to you. brett stevens is saying we need a little humility. i'm going to tell you, i'm just confused. because the president who is the deal maker in chief is saying it's democrats blocking me. beave heard from his son, eric trump, saying that the shutdown is a good thing. and then i want to share what lindsey graham said. just take a listen. >> taught -- the president, his heart is on this issue. i think we have a good understanding. every time we have a proposal, it is only gained back by staff members. as long as steven miller's in charge of negotiating immigration, we're going nowhere. >> so isn't this stunning, that w

north dakota, senator jones of alabama, as well as senator joe manchin of west virginia and claire mccaskilln missouri. doug jones tweeting outlets might why he voted yes. "because of c.h.i.p. and the many families in alabama and around the country that would be put out because of a shutdown, i felt compelled to vote yes." taking over for senator jeff appointed bywas the president. republicans, however, were not able to keep their coalition intact. they lost votes. senator jeff flake of arizona, senator lindsey graham of south carolina, senator mike lee of utah, as well as senator rand paul. that allows him to now bring up a possible compromise if they get there today. we will have to see when they come in to allow a vote on another continuing resolution. the president tweeted this morning, he had a few things to say, saying "democrats are far more concerned with illegal immigrants than they are with our great military safety in our dangerous southern border. they could have easily made a deal, but they decided to play shutdown politics instead. irepublicansin18." votes inns only had 61 the

does this make claire mccaskill weak sner. >> -- weaker? >> look at virginia, it makes perfect sense for them to fight and not cower. the trump campaign put out a add that looks like an ed gillespie ad. >> exactly. >> they suddenly feel more like connecticut and new york. >> in our polling, in states where trump won by an average of 100 points, 89% was protection for dreamers, it's as close as you get to a consensus issue. >> i agree with ben on what the republican taxes are, but i say this is a tactic that he used to open up the government. this is an 80-20 proposition. i love that democrats can go into november, wedge republicans against this, and where independents are is overwhelming for this issue. >> let me ask you this. right now the republicans are painting the democrats as a party of open borders. this is what has the testers and the shared -- they're saying wait, we believe in sightenning the borders too, but it seems doesn't that undo this? >> that is why the wall is probably going to be back on the table. we think we have to be

joining us now from capitol hill, democratic senator claire mccaskill of missouri.>> hi, guys. >> joe, take the first question. we have to start with a comment first. i thought it interesting, claire, that you moved immediately, immediately after the government was shut down to protect the pay of our men and women defending this country at home and abroad and it was the republican leader that actually refused a vote on that. and then you had mike pence, the vice president of the united states, using the troops a day later as political props saying that it was the democrats that were stopping them from getting paid. what were you thinking? well, i'll tell you what, i'll play this sound because it shows what he was saying was so deceitful while he was using our american troops. play the sound and then claire will get your reaction. >> despite bipartisan support for a budget resolution, a minority in the senate has decided to play politics with military pay. but you deserve better. your president, your vice president, and the american people are not going to put up wit

claire mccaskill and joe donley, they voted the right way. we're going to skip their states.13 ad. we're going to play it straight. >> draw the ms13 wall around missouri. we must protect it from our horrible ads. >> jonathan swan, your take on the ad? >> they're reflective of the change in the democratic party. you have the ted cruz unification. all the candidates who are going to run for president in 2020 demanding we're not going to fund any -- support the government funding bill unless it has daca in it. you have these guys, pod save america guys who some of the listeners may not have heard of. they've become a phenomenon, incredibly influential, directed by them in some respects. they've become the talk radio of the left. >> they are a trio of former obama administration staffers. paul kane? >> let's not forget, they made their bones working for barack obama, his presidential campaign. claire mccaskill was one of the first, if not the first female senator to buck hillary clinton in that 2007-2008 primary. >> she was never forgiven by the clinton camp. >> and endorsed obam

that's not helpful for people like claire mccaskill. charles -- charles: i don't understand. i would accept that messaging and put it out there. this is part of the swamp if they can't come to an agreement. chris: government shutdowns don't make a difference. the republicans have lost northern virginia and washington, d.c.'s vote. but i think they can win a messaging battle. if they say if you are going to shut down the government over illegal immigration. you are going to shut it down because we are trying to get nutrition payments to children. it's a long weekend for all the essential government employees. charles: madison? >> people are sick of the same old, same old. senator rand paul was on fox news earlier talking to neil cavuto. he said we spent $700 taxpayer money to find out if neil armstrong said "a man" or "man." >> the house just went on recess. let me show what happened in the last 20 minutes. you had freedom caucus leader mark meadows speak to the press saying republicans didn't have enough votes to pass the c.r. he was on his way to a meeting with speaker of th

claire mccaskill is very vulnerable. you have arizona which is a toss-upstate. these are seats that will determine whether democrats control the senate in 2019. but this is something that democrats really need to factor into their decision whether they are going to vote on this c.r. rick: you are the first to talk about 2019 that i heard. you mention the daca demand. the president wants immigration reform and they are obviously far apart on this. but mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader called this a manufactured crisis. and he said this earlier. let's listen. >> who pays the price for that? healthcare for needy children. training and resources for our men and women in uniform. care for our veterans who came home and survivor benefits for families of heroes who did not. rick: the veterans the real 1 percenters. >> there is one thing about this government shutdown it's a partial shutdown. the main silver lining you can take away from this is agencies are forced to recognize who is essential and not essential to making the government function. in times of cr

claire mccaskill is one of those democrats who voted to keep the government open friday night. she spoke publicly about that tension between where she sort of stands politically and the interest she faces as a democrat in missouri in 2018 versus what a cory booker or elizabeth warren or any of the dozens of others, it seems, interested in running for president face. there's a real tension on the democratic side. >> so chuck schumer has to keep them together, keep together the presidential wing of the party, now in this case the progressive wing and he has to help people get re-elected. if he doesn't hold those democratic seats you mentioned like even ohio, pennsylvania, they look pretty good but montana, the others, certainly missouri, missouri, steve, you know the numbers before i do, trump is running 50%. he has support today with all that's gone on in the last year. he's riding high in missouri which makes claire mccaskill, i would think, worrisome. >> the other consideration that claire mccaskill has, this would be her third election, her third term if she wins this novembe

i just thought when claire mccaskill was going to do one of those things when the chamber is emptying out and then suddenly she seizes control from the republican leader. this is the moment that shows you the democrats knew exactly what their game plan was after the vote and the republicans were completely flat-footed. >> that's right. you saw her get a nice solid moment she can use in her very tough reelection campaign and those are the things that mattered. and you saw senator schumer arranging for his members who are up for reelection, especially tough races, which is most of them this cycle, to have those moments. that's part of the reason he's the leader, there's no one better for looking out for the caucus and members who are up for tough cycles and this is a tough cycle for democrats. >> ezra, one thing that's true about shutdowns is neither side, the reasonable people on neither side -- that no one wants a shutdown on either side. there are some extremists on one side or the other that want a shutdown, but they never work in any kind of predictable way to one side's political

claire mccaskill, debbie stabenow, joe manchin up for reelection announced that they are hours ahead of what looks like now will be a government shutdown. we want to hear what you think around the country. independent line from thousand oaks, california, joe.thanks for waiting. go ahead. are you there? caller: hi. host: hi. caller: hi. we have to responsibility for our president. take responsibility for needy people in our country. were not doing that. were not responsible for our elderly, and we are not responsible for our country. that's a wrong thing. when, with this kind of situation is happening, we need to gather ourselves, and, and come together and get as much as we can to make things right. ourselves from, well, i want to do this or do that is just not the right thing to do. host: mmhmm. caller: if we go along with the different,that uhh, different people or entities want us to do, then we're giving into our, the wrong thing to do. host: a couple more points from the washington post. "last shutdown 2013 lasted for 16 days as republicans tried unsuccessfully to force changes

more moderate democrats are defending schumer including claire mccaskill of missouri. watch. >> i understand what the leadership did. i respect it and i do think we got a result and that is the promise is that of made and by the way, as has been said earlier on your show today, what happened here was the trust of the republicans that were part of this deal, not the trust of mitch mcconnell but why would you trust mitch mcconnell? he didn't. he trusted the 12 republicans that can make his life miserable. >> harris: meanwhile. here laughing. i'm not done yet. there might be more. president trump tweeted a big win for republicans as democrats came on shutdown. now i want a big win for everyone including republicans, democrats, and daca. see you at the negotiating table. i think that what conveys. >> josh: there is no greater defender than claire mccaskill and she's done it again. i think chuck schumer got a real lesson in legislative politics in real-time. it was frankly played out in an embarrassing fashion. it was that he went into this, very responsive to a liberal bia

he's backing off that claim this morning and he has claire mccaskill demanding proof of some of the claimse made. >> that's right. there has been backlash and now senator johnson is definitely backpedaling. you said it, for days he talked about that text that sort of is off the cuff, mentioned the secret society. senator johnson said he had an informant telling him there were secret off site meetings with top fbi officials. take a listen to what he said on wednesday and how he back tracked when manu raju confronted him on thursday. >> i can't ignore the texts, i can't can ignore this unvarnished narrative from two individuals, very high up, in the fbi that have contact with the director. and andy mccabe and bill prestab. i have some very serious concerns, the american public should have serious concerns. >> the text message seems to be common about secret society was in jest. do you agree it appears to be in jest? >> a possibility. >> senator johnson's comments from wednesday, poppy, they're drawing the ire of his democratic counterpart on the homeland security committee, claire mccaskill,

. >> son are on board with you, including claire mccaskill, a democrat, and president trump has suggested he is interested in this. what can you tell us about conversations that have gone on and the chances this gains traction. >> it has a great chance, it is a bipartisan issue. in the last congress, interestingly enough, one of the people that spearheaded and gave us momentum was president obama. he said, you send me something full of earmarks, i will veto it. in -- and democrats said they will not do this. we want to continue the moratorium and put it into a statute. >> president trump says he wants to drain the swap and something no one likes is earmarks unless it happens in the district. how do you communicate in your -- to lawmakers that at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, maybe they are ok? swap, they are the do not just leave the swap like behavior -- they are a gateway drug. to bigger government and more spending. once you agree to accept and earmark, you agree to accept the entire package of legislation that includes everyone else's earmarks and every other governmen

let me read to you what senator claire mccaskill tweeted.d the president just embraced earmarks, talk about the swamp of swamp creatures, she is probably thinking about the bridge to nowhere and how that fueled a lot of frustration into country and fed into the tea party. what do you think of this idea that is there is some merit to having some way to get these deals done? >> i am lukewarm at best, but i do think it is interesting that claire mccaskill chose to criticize the president, because i thought that that was the most extraordinary video, i have seen coming out of the white house. i think the whole time i've been in politics. it was like, the american people got to see how your meeting goes. and that is a donald trump, for those of us who have dealt with him before he was president, they got to see a little bit of how he talks and runs the meeting, and it is different than what most presidents would do, but when you are a part of that, it is very engaging, because he listens and is quick to respond. and you get his attention. i've a

you want to talk about claire mccaskill, this is the one that said she wasn't there when the vote tooken she was called out when she was there and blamed it on her staff. she's in trouble in her district. like a lot of people did, they run with their tail between their legs when they all voted for this. we should go back to the language that says "foreseeability" and the dea has told me that that's the language that they want. >> just to be clear and put a button on this before we move on, it sounds to me like you are saying, congressman, that you think the legislation that ultimately did pass with that language, is bad for america? has been harmful for america and you don't want to see it sustained. is that correct? >> i don't want to see the word "substantial" in there. i want to see "foreseeability." that's a lesser standard for them to get over. >> you want to change the wording in it at a minimum. if we can go back to the immigration discussion for one moment if i can, the president has insisted on funding for a border wall. we had rich gallon, a former republican on who said for

i can't tell claire mccaskill in missouri. i can't force them to continue to keep government shutdown when the republicans have a funding measure. this is the split inside the democratic party about how is the path to return from the wilderness more purity, is it more ideological purity. if you recall, this is what republicans went through in 2009, 2010. they couldn't quite figure it out. that's maybe what cost them the presidency in 2012. >> let me ask you about this. he was writing about this issue in particular about the shutdown and immigration. i want to get your take on it. he said, the democrats have two masters to serve the base and the people who keep electing manchin and john tester and claire mccaskill. the republicans can get majority by revving up their base. democrats cannot? >> that continues to be right more now. unfortunately for democrats, they are betting on a future that may or may not materialize in which democrats are more hispanic voters fewer white whitevoters. democrats are betting on a come. if they c

joining us tonight in these moments before we turn our attention to the president is senator claire mccaskilldemocrat of missouri. thank you for being with us. and earlier today, you put the following out on twitter. congress voted 517-5 to impose sanctions on russia. the president decides to ignore that law. folks, that is a constitutional crisis. there should be outrage in every corner of this country. senator, tell the folks watching tonight why specifically it's a constitutional crisis. >> well, we don't have -- it's very rare tore have 517 members of congress agree on even if the sun has come up in the morning. and to have that kind of support for russian sanctions because of what they have done and continue to do to try to break the backbone of democracies across this globe and particularly here in our country, you know, something's gone upside down. you know, the republicans that i've always known were very protective of law enforcement and went after russia. now, under this president, the republicans are going after law enforcement and are very protective of russia. it is very weird.

you are looking at claire mccaskill in missouri, very vulnerable. you have arizona which is a toss up state right now. these are seats that would determine whether democrats control the senate in 2019. can't believe we're already talking about 2019. this is something that democrats really need to factor into their decision whether they are going to vote on this cr. rick: for the record you are the first to talk about 2019 that i have heard. the democrats obviously you mentioned the daca demand and the president wants immigration reform. and they are obviously very far apart on this. but meanwhile, mcconnell, the senate majority leader has called this a manufactured crisis. he also said this earlier. let's listen. >> who pays the price for that? healthcare for needy children. training and resources for our men and women in uniform. care for our veterans who came home and survivor benefits for families of heroes who did not. rick: the veterans, the real 1 percenters still have to go to work and don't collect paychecks and their families have to deal w

. >> if you are running against claire mccaskill in missouri, what do you say about the actions she took during this debate? >> think it is a difficult time. if you are at the air force base in moes is a concern. if you are at minot air force base, the furlough is a concern. especially when you have two and a half days where it was a shutdown that basically arrived at the same answer that was given or the same solution given last friday. and so the world didn't change other than there was a shutdown and people realized it was a mistake and now we're out tv. >> do you think the president of the -- of the united states is a reliable negotiate. >> i think he got a funding for government and a chance to put ford a daca solution. >> do you think he and the staff are on the same page. >> they will disagree with things that we put together, the graham-durbin proposal and they will negotiate for different elements. but that is what we're here to do. we don't say how do we group think but how do we come together with desperate elements of the body to one solution that could work. >> all right. se

now, democratic senator claire mccaskill is demanding hard evidence about that claim. >>> in the meantime, the justice department says it's now recovered many of the five months' worth of messages strain sfruk and page lost because of a phone glitch. >>> mitt romney is about to announce his next political move. media reports in utah say romney will announce his run for the u.s. senate next week. current utah senator orrin hatch is retiring. >>> we have new details about that deadly train derailment last month. investigators have now spoken to the train's engineer and say he apparently lost track of where he was even though he had been down those tracks more than a dozen times. he says he missed a speed limit sign and when he saw a curve coming, it was already too late to slow down the train. three people were killed in that derailment. >>> a new warning about the economic crisis in puerto rico. the island's governor is predicting the economy will shrink by 11% in the coming year. nearly half a million power customers still don't have electricity four months after hurricane maria and the p

joe said it before, claire mccaskill wanted to support the military on saturday and there are peopleants help, you can call us and we'll be there. but they're not going to get in a fight with steven miller and john kelly. from their perspective, they think this could be the time when steven miller spins himself right out the door. >> my god. stephanie, thank you very much. nick, your thoughts. >> steve sch mi dt, talk to us from nbc's bureau out there about this trust study, trust braham tore and why our trust in our institutions and elites is in danger. >> well, edelman conducted this study for the last 18 years. it's one of the largest global studies that looks at trust in government of ngo media institutions in business. we did it across 28 countries, 33,000 interviews. and what we've seen is a decimation of trust in the united states, both amongst the american people but also a global audience. pre-cipitous drops. we're now viewed as somewhere between spain and italy among formed elites. the people making the most money in the country with the highest levels of education. the vie

clair mccaskill of missouri, joe donnelly of indiana, don't you want to support the troops? as of this moment she has not mentioned the republicans like lindsey graham who are also opposed to this c.r. >> kelsey, 10:00 p.m. tonight after an 8:30 meeting of senate democrats there is a scheduled vote in the senate. this will be taking up the bill passed on thursday by house republicans. it extends the government funding for about a month. what do you expect from that senate vote tonight? >> i think it all hinges on what happens inside that room with democrats at 8:30. if chuck schumer can go in there and tell them he has wrested some sort of valedictorian areary from president trump or that he expects -- some sort of victory from president trump or expects president trump will say, yes, there is some deal, there will be an opportunity for a vote on d.a.c.a., on a number of issues in the next month or so, then it is possible they could break off a few more people. but it is entirely dependent on whether or not they can claim a victory enough so schumer can walk away and prove t

johnson is the chair of the homeland security committee and tonight, the committee's top democrat, claire mccaskill is demanding, quote, hard evidence about that informant. essentially calling him out. so far, senator johnson has not offered anymore specifics. >> pierre, thank you. >>> next tonight, to the widening fallout from the usa gymnastics sex abuse scandal. less than 24 hours now after former team doctor larry nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison. tonight, there are growing calls for a congressional investigation. more than 150 women and girls telling their stories of abuse. michigan state university president lou anna simon resigning. there's now an annive investigation of the akrolyi ranch. and you will hear from at least 20 survive nors now demanding answers. how this went on so long. a special "20/20," tomorrow night, 10:00 p.m. eastern, right here. >>> in the meantime tonight, there's still much more ahead on "world news tonight" this thursday. the developing headline coming in right now. a bank robbery, a hostage standoff unveiling this hour. we'll have more in a moment.

democratic side, those who voted yes were joe donnelly, heidi heitkamp, doug jones, joe manchin, and claire mccaskill. carry on. >> exactly. the point being -- >> there's lindsey graham and chuck schumer on your screen. >> this is not some sort of democratic conspiracy to shut down the government. democrats have historically wanted to fund and keep the government operating. it's been traditionally the democrats who have done that in the face of opposition from republicans like ted cruz and newt gingrich in the past who have tried to shut down the government. what we have going on right now is a situation where we have a president who just said last may that we need a good government shutdown. he said that on twitter just last may. a president who said just seven years ago that if there is a shutdown, that the people don't care about whether it's the republicans or democrats in congress. they look to the president for leadership. we have a president who sold himself as being this master negotiator. >> i got it. listen, i'm going to say the same thing. again, we keep talking about the blame game. this

the point i wanted to make is you have claire mccaskill a democrat who said to her fellow democrats, those looking to run for president that they are grandstanding and making scenes and cause this government to shut down and perhaps lose the democrats a chance at actually getting daca done. before you answer, mark, we'll listen to the sound. >> you are under oath. you and others in that room that suddenly cannot remember. your silence is complicity. i hurt when dick durbin called me. i had tears of rage. for you not to feel that hurt and that pain and to dismiss some of the questions of my colleagues say i have already answered that line of questions with tens of million of americans are hurting because of what they are worried about happened in the white house. it's unacceptable to me. charles: when the cameras went off web said obey the way, i'm running for president. charles: remember how democrats were upset about the treatment of kamala harris? >> maybe their liberal friend in hollywood will give him a golden globe for that performance. here is the thing. if anyone need a cognit

claire mccaskill and joe donely voted with it. because they have tough reef elections in 2018.the truth of the matter is we got chip funding which is important to us. it's just three weeks until we do this dance again. but i get idea taking mcconnell's word doesn't feel good. kennedy: we talked about the mid-terms coming up later this year a little bit earlier. how does this affect voters fit looks like a smackdown for schumer and then at the same time people are kind of feeling the effects of tax relief? >> this is the first time basically generic balance slot between as congressional republican and congressional democrat has started to tighten. it's been in unresidentedly great territory for the last 6 months. now a combination of the shutdown -- shutdowns are never popular. daca is popular. kennedy: i think he knows how important it is to fix that politically. but it's a tight dance. you have got pan coulters of the world who want to make sure. all right. so how do you see all this? >> the position chuck schumer and the democrats are in. they want to come to a deal, and i th
