it to him. So you know about the Senate? It's like this place somewhere in DC, bunch of people sit around, talk, don't do much. Well, yesterday they did vote to see if they could get this partial government shutdown opened up and well, the Democrats defeated it 54 to well, the Republicans got 54 votes. The Democrats basically got 46.

Take a look.

On this vote, the yeas are 54, the nays are 46. Three fifths of the Senate duly chosen and sworn not having voted in the affirmative, the motion upon reconsideration is not agreed to.

0:42

Okay, so as you know, they need 60 votes to pass this. This is why people are talking about blowing up the talking filibuster, so that they would need a simple majority, which in which case, even if you had a few Republicans that didn't come along,

the Republicans have the tiebreaker because of J.D. Vance, and we seem to be edging closer and closer to that moment, because the Democrats are not giving an inch here and nobody seems to know what they're doing. Yesterday, actually, we talked a little bit about how it sounded like there was a proposal that might change some of this,

1:10

but now it seems a bit stalled. Here's some more from CBS News. Minority leader Chuck Schumer said the party presented its newest proposal on Wednesday morning, framing it as a reasonable, good-faith proposal that includes reforms to ICE.

1:22

Republicans have said they are willing to exclude money for ICE's deportation arm from the bill, but Democrats have rejected that as insufficient. Thune said the Democratic offer is not even close to being real. He said Democrats are asking for things

1:35

that have already been turned down, so it seems just like they're going in circles. A test vote on advancing the funding bill failed in the chamber on Wednesday afternoon with no movement on either side. In a 54 to 46 vote, a measure to fund DHS fell short of the 60 vote threshold needed to move forward.

1:50

Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the sole Democrat to vote in favor of advancing the measure. So again, this all leads us to the place where will the Republicans do the nuclear option? Will they go for the simple majority?

2:04

And will they, well, in essence, will they have the balls to use power when they have it? That remains to be seen. Over on CNN, I'm quite critical of the people over there, but here's Caitlyn Collins doing like a fairly decent job calling out Jamie Raskin, Democrat, because yes, this is the Democrats DHS shutdown.

Donald Trump was the one who essentially exploded the deal when the Republican senators brought it to him.

2:34

But then he met with Republican senators. Then he met with Republican senators on Monday night and they came out of that yesterday and said, we've got this deal that would fund this and just have this limited subsection of immigration enforcement that we'll work on later, which basically, Republicans were just going to try to find the votes on their own to pass and have that.

2:54

And then Schumer sent a counteroffer this morning. That's what derailed it today.

3:00

OK, well, you might be a couple of steps ahead of me then.

3:03

I don't even know why I'm here. Who put me on this show? What am I doing? Where are my shoes? Okay, so the question is, whatever Schumer's counteroffer is, is it worth anything, right? Okay, so the question is, whatever Schumer's counteroffer is, is it worth anything, right?

3:15

The Democrats that are doing this, it could be over now.
