we will be right back. >> sandra: fox news alert.ox news has confirmed that the president has invited chuck schumer, the top democrat, to the white house to discuss this looming deadline come at midnight tonight, to fund the government. the two sides are very far apart. it has been looking very much like there will be a government shutdown, but the president has extended an invitation that chuck schumer says "come on over, let chassis out, have a conversation." we are told us will be happening shortly. >> harris: not at the table, mitch mcconnell. he said, i need to know from a president what he will sign. the president figures, i will just talk to the democrats. >> lawrence: we talked about this. he can't even control his own caucus. he really doesn't really need to be at the table. the president will run and talk to those senators personally, especially those by that we talked about that are still on the republican side and concerned about the budget. >> sandra: it seems like a little bit of a spanking against the senate majority l

. >> sandra: joining us now is white house press secretary sarah sanders. a busy morning for the president and capitol hill. what can you tell us about the state of things at this moment ahead of that noon vote today? >> look, we're still hopeful the democrats will quit holding our military and military families and vulnerable children across this country hostage. pass the funding bill to move forward and have the conversation they want to have. there is legislation on the floor that they don't disagree with. it is absolutely mind-boggling that they can't figure out how to vote yes on something that they agree with across the board so that they can have the conversation they want to have. it doesn't seem like it takes a rocket scientist to figure it out. they are throwing a 2-year-old temper tantrum. hopefully they will get over that and move on and have the conversation on immigration reform after they reopen the government. >> sandra: does the president have any assurances that the votes needed are there for this procedural vote at noon >> we're still wor
