for the military. a series of measures that democrats had pushed for, including legislation to address inequality for pregnant workers are not included. the house is expected to vote on the bill this week, before it heads to the senate. if passed it will then go to president biden s desk for his signature. with a deadline to extend government funding rapidly approaching, senate leaders are warning about the possibility of a shutdown, speaking yesterday, majority leader chuck schumer and minority leader mitch mcconnell expressed skepticism that democrats and republicans could reach an agreement by next friday s deadline. according to the top gop appropriator, the two sides remain about $26 billion apart. if no deal is reached, congress will likely have a short-term continuing solution, an option that mcconnell says is growing increasingly unlikely. we re running out of time and
fighting, the money that we are using to fight isis. there s a short-term continuing solution until the end of february, and that has to be done. they ought to be clever. they re going to pass the keystone pipeline easily in the house and senate in the next week or two. i guess he ll send it right away, the president will veto it as he sucks up to the environmental left. it now sits there they probably continue have the votes to override u it. he ll be doing it, not us. somehow a trade with him keystone for something. pat, we have 15 seconds, many republicans are calling the pipeline a jobs bill would you agree or disagree? i don t think it it s become an icon for american energy and independence. you can make it better, you can
president s out talk together american people about the economy, saying he will keep throwing ideas out there. is that winging it or will he be respected for doing that? or is that him throwing his arms up saying i can t get anything done with this crowd. what should his strategy be? what can he do? he has it try to make a deal. though i m skeptical he will make a deal in the end. there s a descent chance he gets by the debt ceiling. descent chance getting by the continuing solution. it is hard for him to come to a grand bargain with the republicans. by the way, lowering the corporate tax rate but closes a lot of loop holes, he is dealing with the republican congress where i look at it and i say, gop now stands for ground hogs on parade. because everyday in the republican house, is like the movie ground hog day. they dot same thing over and over again. they do nothing and then vote to repeal obama care. i think they re actually in a little bit of panic about obama care.
