project up members of congress cannot request the funding bill to see a lot of that kind of come in and relates to passes with a republican votes not counting on the depressor i don't really hard it was representative matthews from kentucky another people that arn on the welling trump's going in on this bill did events will be the bill to date with this bill gop conference, secretary printed talk to tim mentioned over the weekend about waste fraud and abuse and spinning and even printed termsrs calling members of congress around the fence trying to dissuade them to get a yes category open sunbelt and right now there's no plan b they don't really have another option people talk to sit there really just democrats if in faco not from the government to but i think will look at sql let's go

back to what is actually in the bill is decreased intimacy spinning by $13 million you said that there would be programs cuts do we know what programs are being cut. >> we estimate were looking at the cuts funding to usa the id is bit of funding in their march programs really take these programs the people had requested previously december last year, discovered funding programs mostly on the local community projects that are funded through the spinning bill goes back anyway so that it doesn't type what happened with elon musk came out and attacked some of these programs are included in the funding bill which is what would happen and they wanted to avoid that and the two projects out. >> and what about ukraine funding because it was includig

ask in the fiscal year what about visiting this continuing resolution. >> there's basically funded not by government funding bill all this does slowly keep the government open to be keep their preparations going those never intended to be in the appropriations bill is a separate supplemental and so this is about. >> and youat mentioned it the speaker johnson's sure that he has all publicans on board representative matthews said no as we lose any of the republicans. >> when the democrats on the united voting is business bills meclizine pretty negative and impressed have said that they will often develop and if they do get afford to lose and i know the leadership the kinda betting on strong democrats voting for this bill as well they do

the hands of tunnel donald trump for the seven there and republicans month appropriators in leadership say were going to do this is what happened so they realize that without that, democratsea and one of decided themselves to try to go their way and incentive, even though you pass with the republicans only have to be still need to 60 votes and send it the challenges would be not have to happen also is been no symptoms at this that they will vote for the bill mightily seven of them to not be for this and i want to remind since we are done with reform and breeze need calling out and we will come to calls. solis talk about first this could happen today could be delayed pretty sure to bela happening today about what time you think they will start about.

refuse to passse a single appropriations bill so here we are trying to clean up that mess now we can move forward with this bill and hold spending roughly flat be able to advance the cause further and advance the cause to go to move the probation bills for this year, when he is up for the veterans in fighting for crop insurance, have any marks there for better were some of those think that's a goo' thing some don't well and we have a reduction my underthings of the irs expansions a lot of things are i think this is a big step forward and we should now focus on this 50 appropriations bill and appreciate the testimony that would out of for me, we don't do this, edition w tell me how that is better. whenever individual concerns are here there in the bill, parent ofbu you tell me how the government shut down, for no purpose are told to achieve no objective that i can see is better for the american people think it is not.

... are taking your calls this morning. you can give us a call. our lines are open. so democrats are on (202) 748-8000. republicans, (202) 748-8001. and independents, (202) 748-8002 . we are talking about the gop funding bill that is set to be voted on today in the house. stay with the c-span networks on that. here is axios house democrats whip leaders are urging the members to oppose the stopgap spending bill republicans plan to bring to the floor tuesday, that's today. this raises the likelihood the government could shut down on march 14. i wonder what you think about that? we'll hear from calvin who was in new york independent line good morning. for three good morning. it seems strange to me mr. trump wants the government to pass a bill when is running for election he wanted the

government to shut down. so he's not only in bitcoin he can take bribes from overseas, i guess he doesn't mind. >> here is a tent in erie, illinois. >> good morning. when i hear hakeem jeffries speak, it reminds me i think it's an arab saying were the dogs bark what trump is trying to do is maybe keep the country out of bankruptcy. he's got one of the smartest people in america trying to help. it's a terrible thing every time the democrats talk about musk or orts and billionaire, mosque, it's like when the democrats are little teaching the children to talk they say the first thing learn is no tax breaks for

the billionaires. what they are trying to do with this bill is there is a terrible amount of waste and fraud their foods hymns they can buy drugs to try to get this a parental and where the country can survive. all the democrats can do is check out the own personal things. whatever the democrats, it's never the country it's never the country they are concerned with ants well, i am spending so much money on eggs in all of this. for four years these people were silent tens of millions of people come into the country and change the paradigm of our country. they have nothing to say about that. so how c could anybody in their good great mind listen to these democrats not only say trump's s doing it for money.

if trump buys a pepsi cannot by any better pepsi than i can what would he do with the money if he had it? everything with the democrats the republicans are billionaires. they're doing everything for the billionaires. the biggest percentage of people that benefited from the trump tax cuts are the lower income people. should they not renewed trump tax cuts all of these morons that call in and talk about the billionaires are going to find out the biggest percentage of c the tax cuts were to lower people on the income scale. piped that up on your thing and see if i am lying. >> right kent, this is the front page of the wall street journal about the stock market. the market plunges, recession worries it says a new round of

recession rattled markets on monday sending the dow jones industrial averagein down 890 points. eroding wall street consensus among this would be year's biggest winners. present trump to client over the weekend setting off a fresh wave of decline in u.s. stocks. he was interviewed by fox news and talked about the possibility of recession. here he is. >> regards i know you inherited a mess. are you expecting a recession this year? >> i hate to predict things like that. there is a period of transition because what we are doing is very big. we are bringing wealth back to america. that is a big thing.

there are always periods-it takes a little time. it takes a little time. i think it should be great for us but it should be great ultimately for the farmer. don't forget i made a deal 50 billion cooks they follow up and do it? >> when biden was president bite any longer. asa called president xi got to live up to that agreement and he was great, he did. >> before giving to the oval office the first time you're very successful businessman. very successful real estate investments. this is the business president. he is watching the stock market. he does not want the market to go down. now if got tariffs in the market has been going down. >> notn. much. >> you said look were going to

have a disruption but we are okay with that. what other we are alluding to? slick, when actors build a strong country. you c cannot really watch the stock market. look at china they have a 100 year perspective we have a quarter we go by quarters. >> that's true. >> you can't goo by that you hae to go by what is right. she went back to the phone suit monique democrat good morning. have two quick comments one is to the guy in illinois. under trump taxes me and my husband have been writing checks to the federal government and state for the past three years under that tax bracket under the tax code trump created. we've been writing a check to the federal government and our local city government. the reason why i'm calling is i am a d.c. resident.

i am behooved because congress is trying to force the district of columbia to make a $1 billion cut to our budget when we don't have too. paint more and federal dollar and 21 states but we are not a part of the federal government. our budget does not conflict with anything going on up in the hills. we urge and spend our own money. and yet we do not have a vote in the congress. or the senate. break anything that's good. the city takes care how are they going to force us to cut public safety when we don't have too. we've been balance for 28

consecutive periods mayor bowser has done an amazing job with the city. just like president trump just said it takes time. give it time. this is about columbia. from that crack pandemic to immigration, to everything else. our mayor has done everything possible that she could have gibbering hours city to where it is today. how can you force us to cut 1 billion from our budget but we don't have to? our budget is balanced and paid for. leave us alone >> do it monique i want to share what you're talking about get everyone up to speed. the washington examiner stopgap funding will cut d.c. budget by

$1 billion. it's as continuing resolution would treat washington's budget like a government agency rolling back discretionary funding it would break with 20 years of precedent since 2004 congress has allowed washington to maintain as a budget level without disruption of a stopgap funding bill needed to be passed. here is d.c. mayor talking about the short term is the art would impact d.c. budget. here she. is. >> our budget was balanced and approved. if isc go back to fiscal 2024 volvos we would be forced to reduce spending $1.1 billion in only six months. here is why we're here today wey because congress can fix this. i can fix a $1.1 billion problem

that we have brought to their attention in that draft cr. the congress can add the language back to the continuing resolution. the same language that is been there for the past two continuing resolutions that authorized us to spend our locally generated revenue according to our own approved budget and timeline. own to emphasize the local part of that statement. just like every other state. the approved fy 25 budget was introduced by me and approved by this council. it focuses on three main areas public safety, public education ofng economic growth. disrupting those investments spew and we are taking your

calls for about another half an hour. here's mark and hamlin, texas independent line.xa for three i am not into politics but what i am seeing the disruption of the white house in our country. what i am trying to say i beat donald trump has another completely bringing these into the house, may be what he's done for years ago and attacking the white house is my point might have something way out of line that we are not aware of yet that he is up too. [inaudible] i'm sorry my phone is breaking up if that's the case or not.

i don't have anything against the guy totally un- orthodox what i am used to seeing when it turn the news on. that is all thankn you. >> republican line in decatur, alabama audrey you are next. >> good morning how are you this morning? >> good. neither am very pleased with it are called in a couple months ago we are six months into the fiscal year already. you give them a full budget then we get one and a half times the money. >> it is not work that way. it's going to extend for six months and has $500 million in it
