  Speaker 1: dragged on for a month. Scary proposition now for many Americans.

  Speaker 1: President Trump now pushing what he calls a nuclear option.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: As we say, hello on a Friday, Let's make it
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a good one. Dana's got the day off today. I'm

  Speaker 1: Bill.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I'm Jackie Heinrich. This is America's newsroom. The impact of
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the shutdown is getting worse day by day. Federal workers
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: turning to food banks to feed their families, Airport staffing
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: shortages are threatening to derail the holiday travel season, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: SNAP benefits are set to expire tomorrow.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are very worried and
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: very troubled. Snap's been cut.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I'm on WICK, but it's still not even enough.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: It's hard and with the price is going up on
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: everything's foodstamps doesn't even go as far as I used to.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Now, President Trump urging Senate Republicans that take dramatic action.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Here we go. He wants them to do something they've
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: long resisted, which is eliminate the filibuster.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Jackie Yeah, the President writes untruth Social quote. Because of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the fact that the Democrats have gone stone cold crazy,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the choice is clear. Initiate the nuclear option, get rid
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of the filibuster, and make America great again. Alexandria Hoff
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: has more from the White House. Good morning, alex Well.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Senate Republicans who have pushed back against ending the filibuster
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: have argued that it weakens the minority party. It lowers
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: that threshold from sixty votes down to a simple majority,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and by weakening the minority Party, it would be very
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: useful right now. But it's also a position that they
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: see themselves in at some point in the future, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: President Trump acknowledged that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: In a truth Social post.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: He also argued that any future Democrats Senate majority would
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: likely to just try and do that, but on their terms.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Giving this prompt, it is now time for the Republicans
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: to play their Trump card and go for what is
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: called the nuclear option. Get rid of the filibuster, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: get rid of it now. President also writing that previous
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Democrat efforts were blocked by former Senators Joe Manchin and
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Kristen Cinema, who are no longer in office now. Adding
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: some weight to all of this, four of the largest
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: US airlines are pushing for the passage of the Republican
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: back Continuing Resolution to reopen the government. Two of those
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: airlines plus union representatives meeting with Vice President Vance yesterday
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: at the White House.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Clean cr and get that negotiation done behind closed doors,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: without the pressure, without putting the American workers in the
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: American economy at risk.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Now the layser around the country already stacking up. Vice
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: President Vance fears what a prolonged shutdown would mean for
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: the upcoming travel holiday season.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Look, it could be a disaster. It really could be,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: because at that point you're talking about people have missed
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: three paychecks, they've missed four paychecks. How many of them
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: are not going to show for work. We want the
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: aviation industry to work. It's not going to work unless
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: the Democrats reopened the government.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Delays and ground stop stops were impacted by staffing shortages
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: yesterday at several airports around the country, including in New York, Orlando, Dallas,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and Right here in DC.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Guys, all right, Alex Hof, thank you so much so Jackie.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Our lead guest today is a former House speaker who's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: been through this many times. Kevin McCarthy, Good morning to you,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and thanks for coming back.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Mark.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I want to read you an opinion piece out of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: USA today. All Right, Democrats look ready to cave on
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: their shutdown while Trump stays above the fray. Democrats may
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like to tempt voters with taxpayer page freebies, but it's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a bad deal for Americans, she continues. Republicans aren't likely
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to budge on this, and they shouldn't. In the end,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Democrats will only succeed in reinforcing the view the country
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: already holds that they are weak. They're going to cave.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: We've been saying that for weeks. Hasn't happened.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Well, look, I try. I call this shutdown the Seinfeld
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: shutdown because it's really about nothing. It is shoe having
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: political pressure. Now I believe it's about to end. You're
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: having early signs of it. The largest government employee union
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: has now asked them to pass the continuing resolution. You've
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: got the election November fourth coming. I think right after
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that election, Schumer will then lift and take this pain
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: away because maybe Democrats have a good night, but he
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: doesn't want to do anything before that election to disturb it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: He will then have the record for the longest shutdown.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: So if it's about nothing and just his weakness in
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: political leadership, he could say he did that and move on.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: But too many people are being hurt now it's gone
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: on way too long. It's not about anything, which makes
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it more difficult to get out. So that's why coming
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: after November fourth, the fifth, or the sixth, I see
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: as an opportunity that Okay.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So we'll put you down for about another week. Here's JD. Vans,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the Vice President, exactly that point. Watch here.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Here is our very simple proposals to the Democrats. Let's
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: sit down and come to a compromise and work it out.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: And you know what the Democrats' response to that is
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: give us everything we want or we're going to shut
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: down the government and keep it shut down. That is
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: not reasonable behavior. That's not how you do compromise in
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: this down.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: How about this idea, if the issue is Obamacare credits
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and healthcare subsidies, why not go ahead and open the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: government back up again, because you're going to have a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Republicans are going to have to come into agreement as
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to what they find acceptable for healthcare subsidies, and then
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the voters ultimately are going to side whether or not
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: they like the outcome. And next November will tell us
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: whether or not Democrats are right on this fighter Republicans,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: how about that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: That's very true, and that debate is really for later
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: in this year. And you've have Republicans on the record
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: saying they would keep some of those they want it modified,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: and that's really where the negotiation should go. You've got
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: a willing White House willing to negotiate, You've got Republicans
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: willing to negotiate. They're keeping What the viewer has to understand,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: a continuing resolution is simply keeping government open the way
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: it is while you work through the appropriations process. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: for some reason the Democrats say no, it goes all
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: back to you. Look at Schumer. He voted for this
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: thirteen times, but he got a lot of political pressure
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: when the other parties in power. Look, I've been on
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the other side of the aisle of this. I watched
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the Republicans do this by a mistake in thirteen We
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: gain nothing from it, and we are able to come
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: back even after.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That quickly on this do they take up the filibuster
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: idea on behalf of the commander in chief? I think
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that's going to fly.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I I have a fear that's actually what Schumer wants
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: because it makes him not having to make a political decision.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I think after this election November fourth, there's a perfect
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: opportunity for everybody to sit down, open this government back up.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: You really watch the polls. The public is beginning to
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: see that it's probably the weakest Democrat leadership we ever had.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And jakeem and you're going to watch in this election
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: new people get elected further to the left, and they're
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: fearful for their jobs, and I think people are going
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to move beyond them.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: As someone once said, elections have consequences, and we will
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: find out come ones this day. Thank you, sir Kevin McCarthy,
• 7:16
