congressional republicans. they very much want to include a border wall funding in the upcoming continuing resolution. it is the amount of money that is needed to keep the government funded the government funding will run out at the end of this month on september the 30th and there is work on a continued resolution to keep the government funded likely through the thanksgiving holiday and republicans want to include funding for the border wall along the us-mexico border in the continued resolution and democrats do not and they control the congress and this is what were hearing from republicans in the senate, when all is said and done, it ll likely be clean cr and not be additional funding for the border wall with mexico included in the continuing resolution. arthel: let s circle back to the top, the pentagon released 127 military projects that would lose money because of the shifting of funds and as we
the six remaining government spending bills that would fund other agencies through the end of the fiscal year, which is coming up september the 30th. it s a tough time here in washington. we will see if they can figure it out. in the meantime, we will keep an eye on it for you. back to you. speak to kevin, thanks so much. an insight into the strategy will see in the days and weeks ahead. president trump also not backing down on his border wall saying that he will continue to shut down until congress pays for while here the president the democrats probably submit a bill, being cute as always, which gives everything away but gives nothing to border security. namely, the wall. you see, without the while there could be no border security. the tech stuff is just, by comparison, meaningless bells and whistles. tom is cofounder and publisher of real clear politics pray thanks for being here, happy new year to you. happy new year to you, molly. molly: we heard some of the back and forth
cash aspect of it, the financial aspect of it, so we ll have a chance to look at it. senator graham, when is the bill coming to the floor. you all understand that we would have to deal with this before september the 30th, and so that s the answer, you know, we ll have to deal with it, because the vehicle expires at the end of the month. [ inaudible question ] if we were going to go forward, we would have to act before september 30th. haven t decided whether we are in the process of discussing all of this. everybody knows that the opportunity expires at the end of the month. can i say something about that? go ahead. okay, here s the test for republicans. we work as hard to repeal obamacare as they did to pass
