wic hasn't had to send families to wait lists since 1997. in participati that we've seen in the last couple of years are really hard won. that is the result of good work being done on the state and local level to keep more families engaged with the program. and we don't want to see folks turn away from the program because we know that once they fall off, it's really hard to get them back. congress needs to sustain these investments so that wic is reaching all of the families who would benefit from its vital nutrition services. >> nell menefee libbey with the national wicker association, thank you so much for your time. >> thanks for having me, ali. john: next saturday is the autumnal equinox, the beginning of astronomical fall in the northern hemisphere. for some, though, fall doesn't really begin until leaves change color. but scientists say climate change is affecting both the timing and intensity of fall foliage. earlier i spoke with bill keeton, a professor of forest ecology and forestry at the university of vermont. i asked him to expla

let me start with wic. it impacts and effects over 50% of all newborns in this country, nearly 7 million pregnant mothers, new mothers and young children, count on wic every single day to receive support, nutrition assistance, and support. with a shut down what we would see across the united states is a denial of those benefits and opportunities. in some cases, it would be literally within a matter of days after the shutdown. in some cases it may be in some states, literally a matter of weeks. clearly, during the course of a shut down, millions of those mothers and young children would see a lack of nutrition assistance. it is not just the wic program, it is also about our farm economy. now is the time when farmers are harvesting their crops. they are seeking marketing loans which allow them to assist them in ensuring that they get a decent price for their crop. when we have a shut down, farm service agency offices in every county shutdown. those loans are not available. it is not just about farm loans. it

you have two young children and have been on wic since 2015. some 7 million people rely on the nutrition program. how crucial is it for this program to stay running? >> it is extremely crucial. i am fortunate that in new york state we won't see an immediate impact but when we think about the cvb benefit amount being reduced until congress decides to pass legislation to maintain the higher amounts available since 2021, that is -- those are funds for fruits and vegetables that have been available and i work with a lot of families like myself that are now finding themselves food insecure because of high inflation rates and food prices so it is extremely important and i can't even believe we're having this conversation right now. >> to be clear, my understanding is with a program like wic there is federal grant money that goes to the states and the states run it. like you said maybe in new york you won't immediately feel the impact but it depend if a shutdown happens how long it would be for you to feel the direct impact. there are about 42 million

federal nutritional programs leek snap and wic save lives. study after study has proven how wic is one of our nation's most effective and successful -- cost-effective nutritional programs that improves the health of everyone involved. it reduces infant mortality. i mean i could go on and on about the reasons why we need to maintain funding for it and if not increase the funding for it. so i have a lot of words when it comes the thought of us not being able to maintain these programs for families. it's a lifeline. it's been a lifeline, and it needs to continue to be funded. >> whitley hasty, thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you. >>> threats, confrontations, and personal attacks. the war inside the republican party between just a few members that could lead to a shutdown impacting millions of americans. that's next. every day, businesses everywhere are asking: is it possible? with comcast business... it is. is it possible to use predictive monitoring to address operations issues? we can help with that. can we provide health care virtua

the bill also funds absolutely critical nutrition programs like wic which is the lifeline to keep so many families from going hungry. this bill fully funds wic at the level included in the present his budget request and we know that participation and costs for the program are changing. so as we work to get final appropriation bills signed into law i will keep working around the clock toir make sure that no one loses their wic benefits and no is forced to be on a wait list. we've got to maintain a strong bipartisan support for the program going forward and continue to fully funded, and that's a top priority for me. mr. president, mai my famild rely on food stamps for a short time, thanks to that help that we got when i was young, every one of my six brothers and sisters and i have been able now to go up and get back to our communities because our country had our back when we needed it. so make no mistake that our investments in wic are not just the right thing, the moral thing, , it is investment in the future of america. so if i haven't painted a picture yet, investments like this wh

nearly half of america's babies are participating in the wic program.ram stops, the nutrition assistance stops. that means moms have to choose between formula and fruits and vegetables. they shouldn't have to make that choice. they should have an opportunity to have their children have both for a nutritious and healthy start. or how about the young couple that wants to buy a home. they want to make a loan with the usda, they can't because the loan office is closed because of the shutdown. or the farmer who needs a marketing assistance loan to lock in profit. he can't or she can't finish that loan because the fsa local office and his county or her county is shutdown, closed because of the shutdown or how about the family that wants to visit the u.s. forest, one of our 195 million acres of beautiful forest and grasslands, they can't because the forests are closed. an impact on the rural communities, a loss of tourism dollars, i could go on and on and on, and i'm just one department, and here's the funny thing about this. if everyone's talking about making

the wic program puts bread on the table and under the resolution, we keep the lights on for that agency. we would also extend the authorization of the federal aviation december 31. how important is safety in airline travel? critically important. last time there was a threat of shutting down the government, it was the people responsible for regulating and keeping airplanes safe that convinced us we could no longer play that game. i hope we do not have to go through that experience again. 77 senators this week recognized that bipartisanship was the solution to avoid a shutdown. that includes the leaders of both parties, the chairs of the probations committee, and the ranking members noted. unfortunately at the house, it is an exercise of chaos. speaker mccarthy has declared that the bipartisan senate continuing resolution is dead at arrival. our bipartisan bill worked out with both sides of the aisle, that won more than 77 votes, he has dismissed as unacceptable. for reasons beyond my understanding, he has chosen the far right rebellion of a few maga house republicans over the continuing

over 45,000 people who depend on the nutrition program, wic, which provides food and aid to low incomeed airport workers who have to work without pay. do you have any insight into if there is a chance for a last minute deal? >> i don't think so, ana. i don't have a ton of insight. this is one of those -- i've been through a few shutdowns here. this is one of those weird shutdowns where there is no clear policy ask. i remember the shutdown when ted cruz wanted to repeal the federal appeal act. this time there is no ask. you have a situation where the senate has passed a solution, the house could pass it right now, but there is 20 or so republicans, matt gaetz, marjorie taylor greene, the usual crew, telling the speaker, if you do that, we'll try to take away your job. that's why we're shutting down. is stunning. >> congressman, i want to quote something you said. when the most powerful government in the world, the clowns itself, and demonstrates to the world that it is being run by kindergartners, there is also a huge effect in terms of risk perception and confidence and stability. what

according to the biden administration, 7 million pregnant moms, new mothers and their children rely on wic benefits every single day. now one thing that will not be affected by a government shutdown, lawmakers' paychecks. they will continue to get paid, even as millions of federal workers do not and critical services that impact every single person in this country come to a halt. >>> the number of migrants arriving at the u.s./mexico border increased to approximately 8,000 per day this week,. the 19,000 agents at the border are considered essential will and will consider work ing without being paid. that includes detaining new migrants. but border communities will be cut off from additional federal funds to handle the influx of joining me is texas representative eddie morales. good to see you. for people that don't know, your district includes eagle pass, almost 800 miles of border. while i know you're not necessarily involved with the federal border negotiations that are a part of this shutdown back and forth, if the government were to shutdown, what type of impact do you expect to have o

like wic is shutting off. i don't have the exact numbers but i know our junior families use wic heavily. >> you're talking about the women, infants and children program. they only have federal funding to go about a day or maybe two days after a shutdown begins. i think that's the thing that many americans don't realize. there's a lot of food insecurity in the military, even when there isn't a shutdown. >> absolutely. we were running a food pantry in new jersey when i was stationed at cape may, the home of the coast guard's boot camp long before we had a shutdown. that was smaller, obviously, but the need is still there. i am full-time, a therapist. i see a lot of our coast guard families here in my office as a therapist. we're a small community and i'm referring them to places like the united way or catholic charities. the need is always there. inflation is high. it's hard. most americans tend to live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck. it will have significant impact. now it's the entire military. i have friend

that's massive pain and a hardship that they're threatening for millions of people in the wic program, the s.n.a.p. program, federal workers across the country. >> i'm going to mark you down as a maybe for that. >> i don't even know what i said maybe for. i want to make progress for america. that's why i'm a progressive. >> thank you for joining us tonight. >>> coming up, president biden is warning that democracy is in danger. he is invoking the late republican senator john mccain to make his point in arizona today. i spoke with his wife kincey and his wife jack. plus a surprise move by donald trump's legal team just in in the state of georgia. that's next. >>> within a matter of minutes, the house is scheduled to vote in an attempt to find a way to keep the government open past saturday night. lawmakers have been scrambling to find their way out of this. meshes are facing basic questions tonight like how they could pay rent or credit card debt they'll incur, or what bills they can skip. a shutdown means if you are about to buy a home, getting a mortgage is going to be tougher. if you

few federal aid programs garner such broad bipartisan support as wic. and i am confident that my colleagues will continue to sustain this essential program just as they did when you, as the presiding officer, were chair of this appropriations subcommittee. and equally important, this bill fully funds the supplemental nutrition assistance program and child nutrition programs so that kids across the country will continue to receive healthy school meals. children should not be able to focus on -- should be able to focus on learning and growing, not on the worries about when or if they will get their next meal. and this bill also provides a $20 million increase for the food and drug administration to support its mission of protecting the safety, the security of our nation's food supply. as we head into another winter flu season, see potential new uptician up-- uptakes of covid cases, this bill will ensure we keep our supply safe. funding for both the agricultural research service and the national institute for food and agriculture. these funds support scien

60,000 children would be robbed of meals on wheels. 2.1 infants and children would be wait-listed for wic. 300,000 households, including 20,000 veterans, 90,000 seniors would lose housing choice vouchers. 250,000 americans would be denied job training and employment services and the list goes on and on and on. we'll be sure to get these facts to you as soon as we can and debby stabenow will have some of those as well from the cpcc, but we all need to be disciplined in repeating all of this. now, this week, the senate will also be welcoming president zelenskyy as he makes his case for standing against putin when the house republicans say you're on your own and don't want to give him any help at all. nothing would make putin happier than to see us waiver in our support for ukraine. providing aid is not just a matter of ukrainians' security it's a matter of americans' security. a victorious putin is emboldened putin make the world less save for democracy. ukrainian aid could have been for bipartisan in the house as it is in the senate, but the hard right prevented that from happening, too. s

week wic offices and installations will be closed. are people all of the country, holding on, wondering what's next. what's gonna happen next week? how will they pay for groceries next week? >> you mentioned wic, which is, of course, the women, infants and children program. we were looking at numbers here of some 7 million people that rely on that that could be denied that assistance if the shutdown goes through on saturday night. do you think lawmakers here understand the consequences of that? >> it doesn't feel that way. i can tell you that much. military families, we know that if you just look at service members in -- the and hundreds of families are eligible for work. like i said, they are on installation. so, they're really important for the health and nutrition of military kids and for mom. when i'm sitting here, i'm imagining there is a military mom, probably several, pregnant, wondering how she is going to feed her kids next week. also wondering if he is going to be able to go to her prenatal appointment and how long this is g

i cannot overstate the impact republican shutdown will have on mothers and babies receiving wic. in ohio, 180,000 women, children and infants whose benefits will be at risk. in case that statistic is not sinking in, new mother is trying to buy formula only to discover she has no wic benefits to access, she cannot pay. if speaker mccarthy and our republican colleagues continue to value their egos over the well being of american families, stories like this will become a terrifying reality for millions. yet, house republicans continue to prioritize political warfare over people's welfare. the speaker seems committed to promoting political gain and protecting people's benefits over protecting people's benefits, americans and our economy are being held hostage to the demands of the most extreme members of his party. it is painfully clear that speaker mccarthy has once again handed control of the people's house to maga extremists. rather than work with democrats to get us out of the mess they created, republicans are tripping over themselves trying to distract and deflect the american

the white house says wic needs emergency funding, but we're talking about a situation with no fundinge same lawmakers calling for a government shutdown are also calling for speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy, to step down. they say he's not conservative enough. yesterday, just hours before a scheduled speech to call for his ouster, mccarthy announced he was ordering an impeachment inquiry into president joe biden. it's been a while since we talked about impeachment. nobody has been impeached. the first step is an inquiry. that's what mccarthy says he's authorizing. but usually house members vote to authorize an inquiry. in fact, back when speaker nancy pelosi tried to do the same thing that mccarthy did yesterday, just declare an inquiry, it was mccarthy who called her out and said, hold on, we have to have a vote to launch an inquiry. here is that very document from back during the early days of the very first trump impeachment. this time around, it's not clear mccarthy has the votes in his own party to authorize the inquiry. maybe that's why he's not asking for a vote. he hasn't s

that included an adjustment to wic, the supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children. without this adjustment, states would be forced to implement waiting lists, causing women and children to go hungry and pushing vulnerable families into poverty. so for some clarity, this is what congress should pass, pass both the supplemental request and technical package i laid out with a continuing revolution -- resolution to prevent a government shutdown. this is something congress can do, prevent a government shutdown, they need to prevent a government shutdown. what i listed out are critical programs americans across the country, american families across the country, certainly need. host: that was from last week, not yesterday. but go ahead. guest: one aspect i want to touch on from what the white house press secretary said was government agencies need special assistance during the continued resolution period if there is one. this is not the ideal way to run a government. i think most outside of service would agree that you want ideally a year-long funding package at the end o

wic will see their aid delayed. food assistance and veterans benefits will be impacted. >> both sides have got a lot of problems. i don't know if we need to start over, throw them all out and start over. >> reporter: and on capitol hill, the blame game is well under way. >> speaker mccarthy is letting a small band of extreme members override the views of everyone else. >> i think it is bad policy and it's bad politics. >> reporter: at this point, government agencies are informing their workers to prepare for a shutdown, including who should expect not to show up for work on monday and therefore not get paid. as for right now, the talks in washington remain stalled as lawmakers plan to work through the weekend. it's also worth pointing out that while a shutdown may take place, members of congress will still get paid. chanel? >>> today marks two weeks of the leading car makers and even more could soon hit those picket lines. maggie vespa has been following this for us every day. what's the latest there? >> reporter: h

people all across america, and it's not just in states like new york who benefit from programs like wic and the food stamp program. there is a lot of rural poverty. a lot of poverty throughout this country. and they're all constituents. these republicans who are ignoring, ignoring the collateral damage that will ensue because of their ignorance and their inability to do what's right. there will be fallout. and i think they will pay consequences in future elections. they should be aware of that. everything they do is so politically motivated. they should be thinking about the fact that new york state, i have nine republican governors who are not standing up for their constituents and we'll make sure everyone is reminded of that. >> no doubt the stakes are very high for the neediest americans and we're seeing that. you are expecting for thousands of venezuelan migrants in new york to be allowed to work and i know you have questions about whether the shutdown will affect that. have you gotten some clarity from the biden administration on that? >> i'll tell you what i don't think will be go

one of the things we heard him talk about is this wic program. a food program that affects women, infants, children across the country. when i asked the secretary is there any way in which the administration could exercise some kind of authority to extend that program if the government were to shutdown, he simply said no. there is no authority that the administration has to do that. so, again, the white house is in the position of trying to blame republicans for what might be to come and also just make a lot of warnings clear that if this were to happen, there would be desire consequences for people across the country. >> and manu, donald trump is weighing in on social media. on his social media account telling republicans quote, unless you get everything, shut it down. how much is this likely to embolden the hard liners? >> it's not helpful to mccarthy. he is telling them the opposite. telling them a shutdown would be bad politically. he says i don't see how anyone wins in a shutdown. trying to make the case of all the things, people that would

same with the wic program, cut by $8 million which which is 5 million women and children losing food and vegetable vouchers. we need to look hard at the farm bill in the light of the diabetes challenge we are facing now. miss brown friday talk about food deserts. >> thank you. when it comes to food deserts, how big a challenge is it for you with the navajos who live on the reservation and off? in terms of the ability to get the healthy food? >> thank you. congressman. when it comes to food and having grown up myself, the nearest grocery was 75 miles, so in order to get to a walmart you had to go 75 miles where i grew up from and most of the time the nearest grocery store, the local trading post, the local gas station, all this, a speedway or st. clair or whatever the gas station is, most of the time, candy, food, chips, things that are normally for people headed to a certain direction. i know one of the things, that is why we imposed a tax on junk food to encourage grocery stores and gas stations to at least carry some fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and things like that but when you a

million mothers and children who could lose access to critical nutrition assistance if the federal wic program runs out of funds. the senate is set to hold a procedural vote today on its own plan to keep the government funded, but that's meeting opposition from republicans against additional aid for ukraine and house speaker mccarthy has said any bill that includes ukraine in is a non-starter in the house, gio. >> elizabeth, a lot of people at home wondering now, how does the government decide who gets paid? >> reporter: gio, federal agencies have been working on contingency plans to determine who needs to report to work without a paycheck. about 820,000 federal workers will be sent home without pay, and through all of this members of congress will still get their own salaries. gio? >> gio: a lot of people talking about that. elizabeth, thank you. among the essential workers who will have to stay on the job without pay, about 2 million members of the armed forces. abc's melissa adan joins us from fort hamilton in new york with that side of the story. good morning, melissa. >> reporter:
