It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep And I'm Rachel Martin good morning the deadline is here the u.s. Government will shut down tonight at midnight if Congress doesn't fund it specifically today the Senate needs to pass the stopgap funding bill that the House passed last night Senate Democrats are blaming the president for taking the goshi Asians right up to the deadline Here's Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor yesterday the one thing standing in our way is the unrelenting flow of chaos from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. It is reduced the Republicans to shambles we barely know who to negotiate with in the House Republicans from the Freedom Caucus who were initially opposed to the spending bill are getting some credit for pushing through this short term fix so what tipped the scales we're going to ask Congressman Tom Garrett he's a Republican from Virginia and a member of the Freedom caucus he joins me now on Skype Congressman thanks so much for being with us it's my pleasure 1st of all though I was never opposed to this I mean agreement it includes funding for health care for 9000000 vulnerable children that we've voted for 4 times that Chuck Schumer later gluttonous child says the table and says he cares about but that he and Leader Pelosi have. Repeatedly voted opportunities to fund this guy's like a kid having his cake and trying to eat it too ultimately last night 186 Democrats voted to shut down the government 11 voted not to 220 some are problems voted to keep it alive and one child's health children's health care there's a lot in there so let's yeah to counter it let's back up and walk through all this so you're talking about the Children's Health Insurance Program this is actually web site is something that Republicans have attached to this idea of a short term spending bill in order to get Democrats on board oh well it certainly didn't work if that's the case I'm voting for the things for times miscall Osi says Oh I care about children's health insurance repeatedly votes against Regina governor Terry McAuliffe asked us to do something about it after we've already voted to fix it and get what they want in the way we can help these children I think what they want to see is a long term permanent fix to get us in a long term fit into your money from him 3 so that's pretty good right 2023 they also want to see a long term fix to immigration in particularly health insurers so-called I mean they've put 9000000 vulnerable American children behind 800000 immigrants some of whom were brought here as children and some of them came here themselves because we haven't yet defined what a child is if you're 17 years and 3 and 64 days old and you up your. Own accord cross the border are you a child I suppose by the definition of law but if we want to help these children let's how well they'll be another c.r. In 4 weeks and we can talk about yourself have said that governing by continuing resolution isn't a good idea you said you hate every last minute that I do I can't stand it but I've also said that we do something about children's health insurance and here's the opportunity to do it so I invite Senator Schumer to join us avoid the Schumer shutdown and bring this health insurance to these children who by no no actions of their own are the most vulnerable among us so this is about cancer care about this is just about showmanship and political grandstanding they want to say with all due respect Congressman we always say same thing about against the Republicans and the you know well yeah but they had a chance to fund children's health insurance a whole have it in the Senate want to take this vote and if they choose not to the American people should count the votes see how many Democrats voted to shut down versus how many Republicans voted to shut there seems to be a really I'm going to my you're out there we can figure out who's a fall I'm sorry to interrupt you there seems to be a real effort on the on the part of Republicans to to frame this as as a Democratic failure if the shutdown happens it's on Democrats at the same time Democrats point to Republicans and saying you are in control of the White House you are in control of both houses of Congress this would be the 1st time the government which shut down under one party rule would not be a problem politically for the g.o.p. It well here's the problem the Republican Party is not comprised of people who think monolithically and do as they're told us comprised of free thinkers and if your listeners would think of themselves and ask the 2nd question not the 1st question that is why do we want to fund children's health insurance why isn't more to do it now our 9000000 vulnerable children more important than 800000 people who the Democrats use as a political football then we would fund children's health insurance come back to the table and try to address these core young people who were brought here in many cases but not all but I've no decision of their own Well then what if I make it and presidents tell you when there isn't anything really. And it tweeted out that the short term spending bill should not include chip funding What did you make of that was that not I just pointed out that I don't think monolithically and I'm not a 2nd fan so I disagree we can fix children so let's get right now 32023 we should do it so you decided maybe 600 yes absolutely on that 186 Democrats want to shut the government down and not fund children's health insurance that's what was voted on last night look at the vote count do you think you're going to get what you need to pass it in the Senate you know what I'm going to worry about I'm going to worry about the rich and you're going to worry about the children the vulnerable children there and we have a chance to fix this problem through 2023186 Democrats voted against doing that last night for shutting down the government they can say whose fault it is all they want of the American people can count I think they can then they'll know that the Democrats are the ones who are voting in vast majorities to shut down the government again only to try to public concerns to all of our inches of power will have to leave the conversation the Republican Representative Tom Garrett for just to that you know you have a great day you have. On one of the last days of his 1st year in office President from travel to southwest Pennsylvania mountainous region that voted big for Trump in a swing state that helped to give him the White House N.P.R.'s Don Gonyea is in that region in Monroeville Pennsylvania Don good morning good morning why the president go there well we're in an election year for starters there's an aggression all district at Pennsylvania 18 has a special election coming up on March 13th and it's seen as one of those early indicators as to maybe how the midterms could go this year how Trump's playing it's an area where Trump did very very well in 2016 he won the district by almost 20 points this special is to fill a seat that's been held by Republican Republicans do have an advantage here that Democrats have won in some unlikely places since Trump took office and hope this is another one in Alabama not so long ago as a matter of fact one of the president say as he visited a factory in Pennsylvania while he was here promoting what he sees. He says his successes as president things he often complains that he doesn't get enough credit for things like an unemployment rate that's not a 4 point one percent then and a stock market that sat at a record high just. Pensions and retirement accounts are surging in value as the stock market smashes run record I am sure another how many people have for one case here I. Hear brilliant investors Ok so that's what the president is saying what are Pennsylvania voters saying I've been in places like Washington Pennsylvania and Waynesburg and mineral veil here and I've been talking to Tom photos to see if they are as pro Tromp as they once were after you know a year in mostly the answer is yes but you do hear some complaints a lot of it's about his Twitter habits or complaints about things like the vulgar and he's alleged to have used during that White House immigration meeting last week but still support for him appears to be strong here as specially from those who work in coal mining this is call country 48 year old Paul Walker is a good example of that he was headed to the mine when he called my cell phone yeah we're all pretty dumb about what's been going on with Trump and old support some coal mines are seeing increased production now more shifts more hours there are a lot of reasons for that notably that the rising price of natural gas helps coal compete but overwhelmingly these workers also credit Trump who has cut some Obama era environmental regulations on mines but they also just like the guy Walker says the more unpolished Trump is the better Trump was not a politician here not come up through all the bull crap and they face in the elbow rubbing it in a man and I think this is a direct approach I like this Twitter if you watch my Twitter account I read tweet just about everything that he puts out now let's meet Republican state senator camera Bartolo. She offers some perspective on the politics of this place she says this part of the country has changed it's still full of Democrats lots of the union members but Democratic candidates can't just count on those votes anymore and much of it is over environmental policies what Trump and a lot of Republicans like to call the war on coal Here's Senator Barbara I think it's because people really got a message of look we have to fight for our jobs we have to fight for the energy industry of course coal mining is different now of course you're not going to need 2000 coal miners in a coal mine we've got on a mason we've got machines without you know better technology but you know we still need coal some Pennsylvania and Sue been talking with N.P.R.'s Don Gonyea who's in southwestern Pennsylvania and Donna one invites across the divide here a little bit because we get a question from Democrats people on the left on Twitter and elsewhere any time we put Trump voters on the air they ask why I keep interviewing Trump voters they never change their out of touch why why why this is a question that gets asked a lot so let me just ask you Don Gandhi why talk to trump voters Well 1st we talk to voters of all kinds of all stripes it's important to hear from all of them as for the Trump voters it's important to know a if they're still with him but it's good to hear how they talk about him and how that may change over time if there are ships is is there strong support suddenly I back him I like him but it's important to hear that also in states where the votes very close any movement among any voter group can can make the difference and the president's approval rating is down it's gone down since the beginning of his term but the core supporters seem still with him Don Gonyea thanks very much my pleasure That's N.P.R.'s Don Gonyea reporting today from Monroeville Pennsylvania.
