s delegate to the house of representatives eleanor holmes norton. thank you. >> all right. so first of all, i think a lot of people really don't understand that the district is in this sort of strange position where it's not a state and its money is really controlled by congress. so tell us how the shutdown is actually impacting your constituents. >> the monies collected by us shouldn't be up here in the first place. $6 billion of it. and we don't get to spend it until congress, which never changes the budget, but signs off essentily on it. they're essentially a pass-through. but it's having a dire effects on my district. because you can't run a big complicated city without money. and therefore the city had to find some funds, and it found a contingency fund, really meant for disasters like natural disasters, not this man made disaster. but that's fast running out. and i said to the president yesterday when he was making the case again, essentially treating the district as a part of a federal strategy to make a federal point. i said to him what was

democratic congresswoman eleanor holmes norton joins me now. thanks for joining us. obviously your district is feeling the shutdown more than any other in the country. your colleague, darrell issa, joined in your plea last night. and you reminded all of your colleagues that this was not a tea party bill, but those efforts, they still failed and fell on deaf ears. so what's happening today and do you really have any hope left for a speedy resolution? >> let me distinguish, i was not supporting all of the three bills. i was supporting one bill. one of the reasons i can't support all of the three bills is that it would defy the dissention i'm making. the bill that i'm supporting had only the district of columbia local budget in it. the other two were federal appropriations. the district budget shouldn't be up here in the first place and i was making that distinction. the distinction between a city and a federal appropriation. now, that distinction is very clear. the city delivers direct services. what is happening to federal employees and to fellow appropriations is out
