to hillary vaughn on capitol hill. hillary, what can you tell us?> reporter: liz, today's forum from a senator himself who told me rah really about listening, not so much about laws. but they did get a lot of face time with these major tech ceos at this forum that's still ongoing right now. they're e getting a chance to try to guide future regulation in a way that would not hurt their bottom line because the people in this room already worth billions stand to make billions more from artificial intelligence. elon musk saying the industry needs a referee to make sure companies are making decisions that are safe and in the best interest of the public and that pretty much every other ceo in the room is in favor of regulations. but the dark cloud over all this is how much of a threat a.i. is to the human race. so i asked elon musk how worried should we be? a.i. going do kill us all, mr. musk? >> i hope not. i think, i think -- >> make them protect us from artificial intelligence. >> think of the future as a series of probabilities as opposed to certainti

hillary vaughn is live on capitol hill. are they worried about the effects there?specially frustrated out of this vote that it failed on the floor. i caught up with chip roy, called it pig-headed that republicans sided with some democrats to oppose this last-ditch effort to try to avoid a shutdown. a shutdown is looking more likely and the longer a potential shutdown would drag on, for devastating and damaging to the economy and federal employees who rely on the government for their paychecks. immediately any federal worker that is not deemed essential will stay home, they will not get paid until the shutdown ends, so people missing a paycheck until congress figures it out. 1.5 million workers will be impacted. 800,000 of those will have to show up to work anyway. move staff on capitol hill will not get paid either but members of congress will. some lawmakers i talked to today want to change that, they also want to cancel summer recess that happens every year in august, that they blame puts them in this mess. >> no pay for members of congress or senators. it's absu

just listen to what democratic congressman greg told hillary vaughn. >> democrats insist that border is closed and secure, what is an open border look like then? >> asylum seekers have a right to seek asylum all overthrow out our history and so, we are working to provide legal, safe and orderly immigration. that is what we're working on unfortunately republicans refuse to fix the system and refused to come up with collusions that allow -- solutions that allow immigrants to migrate in a legal, safe and orderly way and they continue to actually insight these problems by not creating pathways for people to orderly get in line, they refuse to have those programs, that is part of why stuck here today. >> sure they are. you know why democrats are blaming republicans? because republicans won't agree to the illegal biden policy of unlimited migration. look we have sovereignty laws here, thats democrats are breaking on a daily basis, so far during the biden years at least 6 million illegals have entered the country. that is not including got-aways, encounters or better put apprehensions. of c

hillary vaughn on capitol hill with more. house democrats we talked to have really basically used this indictment of hunter biden to point out that they think it shows that president biden is not showing favoritism, is not using his position to give his son special treatment because this indictment has come down. they're also pointing out at every opportunity from house democrats we've talked to this afternoon that he was indicted by a trump-appointed prosecutor and the fact that president biden kept him in his position shows that he is letting the system of justice play out for his son. >> i don't think people should applaud this system when it works for hunter biden but then tried to tear the system down when it works for donald trump. >> president biden has credibility that he believes in equal justice under the law. he allowed donald trump's prosecutor to stay on board and investigate his on son. you won't see democrats losing their mind saying we need to burn down the government because a family member is being investigat

hillary vaughn joins us. hillary, don't the numbers paint a very different picture?, they do, but it's still one of president biden's favorite things to brag about, cutting the deficit after billions of dollars in covid spending automatically expired under his watch with. but that does not mean that president biden has been a penny pincher. he's actually been a big spender, and now the u.s. budget deficit is projected to trouble this year. the committee for a responsible federal budget says the difference between government spending and revenue is jumping from $1 trillion to $2 trillion for this fiscal year that ends september 30th. the group says the reason for the jump, inflation, higher interest payments on debt and a drop in tax revenue. but president biden still feeling good about the economy under his watch. >> it wasn't long ago that 20 million people were out of work here in america, 20 the million. but the american people and american workers didn't give up. today we have the strongest economy in the world. let me say that again. today the united states has

hillary vaughn on capitol hill. what could a shut down mean for consumers?uarts the longer the shut down drags on, the more devastating and damaging to consumers and the economy as a whole. immediately any federal worker that is not deemed essential will stay home and they will not get paid until the shutdown ends and people missing a paycheck till congress figure this is out is the first thing that's going to happen. the national federation for federal employees estimates more than 2 million federal workers could see delayed paychecks roughly 4 million federal contractors won't get a paycheck at all. of course that then would ripple through local economies. the longer a potential shutdown lingers, people might start feeling if in other ways. medicare and medicaid might feel it and people on food asis trance programs and -- assistance and passport and visa processes running out of money and airports should be operating like normal but tsa agents and air traffic controllers have to show up to work even though they're not getting paid. transportation secretary

hillary vaughn is live from capitol hill with the details. everything's changing. at's the latest, hillary? >> reporter: hey, david. well, we're looking at the impact that a possible government shutdown might have on the stock market. historically, a short or long shutdown does not have a major impact on the stock market. research shows during the last 20 shutdowns dating back to the '70s, stocks have been up 50% of the time during the actual shutdown, and a year after the shutdown of ten days or more, other research shows the s&p 500 gain on average 18%. but a shutdown, long or short, certainly devastating to the individuals who are temporarily without pay and also the small businesses that a rely on people showing up to work in government buildings for tear customer bas. immediately, any federal worker that is deemed not essential will stay home, they do not get paid until the shutdown ends, so people missing a paycheck until congress figures this out, most staff on capitol hill will not get paid either, but members of congress will. some lawmakers i talked to tod

yesterday hillary vaughn pigeon holed a lot of democrats on capitol hill and asked them about it. >> can i ask, is the border out of control? >> what is our immigration system is broken. >> we need for republicans to stop talking about open borders. >> when you see the cbp officers releasing migrants en mass on the street, do you think that sends a message to people the border is open? >> the border is not open. >> what you see is different than what happens in actuality. >> john: that's the one i can't wrap my head around. what you see is different than what happens in actuality. we are actually playing that yesterday when we had pictures of a few dozen people coming across the river going underneath the concertina wire and aprehenned by the border patrol. what's happening here on capitol hill? >> right, well i don't think a lot of people want to talk about it on the hill but what people are seeing is not just happening on the border. you had 10,000 people crossing yesterday, 7.2 million across during the biden administration. you have the mayors of democrat cities, sanctuary cities

hillary vaughn is on the hill, she heard from jamie raskin, says i have no reaction that i believe -- other than that i believe in the rule of law and the court system. he says we have to stand by the rule of law and what the courts do. we can applaud the fact the system and the courts are working. i don't think people should applaud when it works for hunter biden and not when it works for donald trump. we shouldn't take delight in other people's misfortunes. also, jacqui, we are hearing from eric swalwell, another democrat, sounds like prosecutor found no wrongdoing, if biden has credibility on gun control, allow the trump appointed prosecutor to stay on, we believe in the rule of law. just some reaction from the left right now. we have -- we are told james comer also just reacted quite a lengthy reaction, 2, 3 minutes long, we are turning the tape for the viewers and will have it in just a moment. jacqui, for now, seems like we should hear from and see the president a short time from now. >> jacqui: we do expect to hear him deliver this major economic speech. that's even fraught wit

vaughn. in any event, i was writing a paper 2007, obama was camped out in iowa. hillary clinton was ratcheting up. clearly, she was running for president. and i thought it was curious because i've done all this work on of television and gender roles and representation i was curious about the the portrayal of the president, men of color, perhaps, and also by women i was really looking at what who would get the nomination based on what i saw in popular culture. was it more likely to be barack obama or was it more likely to be hillary clinton? on the democratic side, 2008. and i remember when morgan freeman playedresint in this movie about an asteroid hitting the earth in 1998 called president of the united states. as you seeim there and there was another movie that came out about a week after it. y hadbeenreenlit at the same time in hollywood. in hollywood called armageddon. and billy bob thornton played the president in that. so you have asteroids hitting the earth as the narrative and in one movie you have a black president and, one movie, you have a traditional white. a
