inspections, my message to you is this, we will find you and seek your license to sell guns. we ll make sure you can t sell death and mayhem on our streets. it s an outrage. it has to end and we ll end it, period. this shouldn t be a red or blue issue. it s an american issue. we re not changing the constitution. we re enforcing it, being reasonable. we re taking on bad actors doing bad and dangerous things in our communities and our country. yesterday, president biden, who was painted during the campaign by some republicans as a radical leftist announcing he s going to add hundreds of millions of dollars proposed spending to support police and make them better. fund the police, not defund the police. the reality is, in every major american city, the reverend knows this, we are living with a
get a second job, and nobody this of teaching a right. and she loves the job, and she loves teaching. she is passionate about her job, andon in fact, you can t work or 40 hours a month in the fac trishgs becaufactory because they don t want you to quit your job. but the pharmaceutical sales are through the roof, and they have had to, add hundreds of employees, so it is a tale of what you weres, talking about, e economy both things are true. and young pointed out at the top of the storyed that it is t wage, and it is the gap, and it is the idea that there s more wealth in aggregate, but people like this who are sort of the salt of the economy are not making it. how does the app work? well, before, isn t it crazy though, that we started this talking about the low-wage workers and would you ever put teaching now i would. i wouldn t have before. and in the category of
republicans, to vote on the bills they keep bringing to the floor to reopen the government, as you mentioned, they re going to add hundreds of millions of dollars more in border security funding. so specifically, $524 million, for, to repair ports of entry, along the border, and another $563 million, to hire more immigration judges. this is what a democratic aide tells me. as you mentioned, none of that money will be allocated toward the construction of a border fence, or a border wall. that would not meet the specific demand that president trump has thrown out there. so it would appear that this addition, of this additional money, would not break this shutdown standoff. what it really is, it s significant, but it is also a lot of political posturing, too. so we will have to see what if anything comes from the president s speech today. if he says anything that would call something to shake loose and break both sides to the table. i will get your reaction to this. what we have seen ov
day of the partial government shutdown, the president of the united states scheduled to speak at 3:00 this afternoon, from the diplomatic room at the white house. we have some new reporting here at nbc news about an offer that democrats have made ahead of that speech. to add hundreds of millions of dollars in border security funding in spending bills that the house is going to consider next week. there is a caveat. and an important one. none of the money will be allocated for the border wall. i m going to turn now to jeff bennet my colleague who covers the white house here at nbc news, and fill us in a little bit more here. as i mentioned, a lot of speculation on what the president might or might not say if he is going to declare a national emergency. how does this change or stand to change that conversation, if at all? hey, david, well, on the first point, we should say there is no indication that the president will go as far to declare a national emergency in that speech today. sou
have a beach restoration project that was supposed to start this week. instead, this hurricane now tropical storm came through and delayed them. it was going to add hundreds of feet of beach to this area. not going to happen right now for at least a couple of weeks because of the storm. i want to get to my colleague ed lavandera in jacksonville, north carolina where he has been witnessing some of the things going on. as i understand you were out with people who were rescuing people earlier. what s happening where you are? right, we spent most of our day in the town of new bern which has been the focus of some of the high water rescues and people being evacuated from their homes there in that town about 300 people having to be more than 300 people having to be rescued from their homes in these neighborhoods. pockets of neighborhoods where floodwaters rose up overnight and into today. so there was a race to get to these people. and don, it was very reminiscent what we saw a year ago in
