say the democrats prevail and hardcore democrats prevail, a congresswoman put out a tweet yesterday about zero dollars for dhs. say the hardcore left week of the democrat party prevails in this negotiation and put a bill on the president s desk with, say, zero money for the wall or dlvr $800 million, an absurdly low number, how do you is it off the table? the answer is no. that s acting white house chief of staff mick mull vaughnvaughn mulvaneyf of staff mick mu, clet the possibility of a government shutdo shutdo shutdown. my next guest has been in congress for a little over a month. if the president makes good on his threat, she ll already be facing her second government shutdown on this friday. joining me now, freshman democratic congresswoman from connecticut, jahana hayes. thank you so much. congresswoman, congratulations on your victory. let me ask you before i get into
the president is threatening a shutdo shutdown. the president is demanding a ransom and that s unacceptable. are you and your colleagues willing to see another shutdown and stand firm as nancy pelosi said, no money whatsoever for a wall? we are prepared for a conference that discusses the full range of not just border security, after all, border security is about more than a wall or a physical barrier and homeland security is about more than border security we feel need polar ice breakers. in the homeland security bill we re conferencing, any money you take for a physical barrier where the president has upped the ante and demanded this money, it has to come away from things like ice breakser and customs officers and so we have tough decisions to make about how to do this within tight budget constraints.
crowd around them. somebody in the gaggle said give me a rule of thumb and i gave a rule of thumb that was accurate based on briefing i had but excluded government contractors. but the number you and i talked about is the correct number. you re right. if the government were to be shut down, you would be looking at a cost like that. but i want to add one other thing. we re at a time in the business cycle that is especially good for people who have been separated from society and disadvantaged by the weak economy of the great recession so what is happening is incomes at the lowest are growing faster than for people as a whole and people are reconnecting to the labor force. wage growth. so the point is what s happening is people who were most disconnected who most need our help are being pulled back into the labor force so it s seine tshl recovery continue. essential. yes. we agree. it s essential the recovery
workers and their families. we appreciate your time this morning, thank you. yes, ma am, good morning and god bless you both. thank you. and you. so the cost of the shutdown is huge, it s getting bigger everyday. it s about to top the call for the border wall, $5.7 billion. next we ll get into the economic toll of the impasse with the chairman of economic advisers. you see the conversation there. the positions among both parties are not softening. plus, deadline day, the legal team for paul manafort has minutes left to respond to allegation he is breached his plea agreement with the special counsel s office. we re on top of it. , is this for real? yep. we match all the cash back new cardmembers earn at the end of their first year, automatically. whoo! i got my money! hard to contain yourself, isn t it? uh huh! let it go! whoo! get a dollar-for-dollar match at the end of your first year. only from discover. got it.r pickup order? ran out of ink and i have a big meeting today
one folding chair. that s not a good faith reasonable negotiation designed to move forward. the southern border must be secure i know that the current strategy and i hear your point because listen both parties are digging in on this. but as you know, the president owned the shutdown, he said so publicly. the president approved of legislation that would have kept the government open and then reversed his position on that. as you know, the president at a minimum we ve never reversed our position on border security, brother. that s your taking point, you can stay with it. but the truth is it s not my talking point, it s a fact. the truth is the shutdown didn t have to happen and it can end in a meeting. it n fairness, it s not my talking point. the president supported legislation and then reversed support for that legislation. you re a former cop as well. is it worth damaging security,
