JA VU.

GOVERNMENT IS ONCE AGAIN AT THE RISK OF A SHUT DOWN.

THOUSANDS OF FEDERAL WORKERS LOSING PAYCHECKS AND CORE GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS NOT OPERATING.

THIS COULD BE AVOIDED IF THE HOUSE AND SENATE AGREE ON A SPENDING BILL.

JOINING US ARE ROBIN KELLY OF THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AND A DEMOCRAT OF THE 9st THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

THEY ALSO INVITED ALL THE REPUBLICANS IN THE DELEGATION AND NONACCEPTED OUR INVITATION.

WE ARE HAPPY THAT YOU ARE ALL HERE FRESH OFF A VOTE WITH IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES ON THE HOUSE FLOOR.

THANK YOU FOR RUSHING TO YOUR OFFICES TO JOIN US.

>>> IT'LL AFFECT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

CHILDREN THAT WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THEIR HEAD START.

MOTHERS AND CHILDREN WON'T BE ABLE TO GET NUTRITION.

INSPECTIONS IN CHICAGO FOR EXAMPLE LAST -- TIME WE HAD A SHUT DOWN CAN'T MAKE SURE THAT THE INSPECTIONS MADE OF WATER OF -- ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT RELY ON GOVERNMENT INSPECTIONS, THEY WILL STOP.

AND OF COURSE WE WILL SEE THAT WORKERS ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR PAYCHECKS EVEN AT THE AIRPORT AND WE SAW THE KIND OF CHAOS AT THE AIRPORT THE LAST TIME WE HAD A SHUT DOWN WAS A TSA WORKERS WERE NOT ABLE TO GET AID.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A PRETTY PICTURE.

>> SOME OF THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS, THEY HAVE TO GO TO WORK EVEN IF THEY WON'T GET PAID.

CONGRESSWOMAN KELLY, CONTINUING RESOLUTION TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT FOR A COUPLE MONTHS.

WHAT YOU CAN TELL US ABOUT THE RESPOND?

>> I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S TECH HAS A PASS OUT OF THE SENATE WE ARE EXPECTING IT TO COME TO THE HOUSE FLOOR BUT YOU KNOW, TEMPERATURES IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE AND REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE ARE ALL ON THE SAME SIDE.

WE HAVE TO GET THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS ON THE SAME PAGE OR AT LEAST KEVIN MCCARTHY BECAUSE HE CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE MAKER.

>> IT DIDN'T PASS OUT OF THE SENATE.

CONGRESSWOMAN RAMIREZ WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE ON THE TABLE THAT ARE BEING DEBATED IN THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW?

ESPECIALLY AMONG SOME OF THE HARD LINE REPUBLICANS THAT ARE HOLDING OUT AGAINST THE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY?

>> THEY MADE IT CLEAR THEY WANT TO PROTECT DONALD TRUMP.

THEY WANT TO GET RID OF THE -- AND THEY WANT TO ESCAPE -- THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PUT THEIR ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CHILD DEPORTATION BILL ON THE TABLE AND A CONTINUING RESOLUTION AND WHAT THEY CALL A BORDER SHUT DOWN.

WE KNOW THAT WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO IS TO USE ANY TALKING PIECE FOR THEIR OWN POLITICAL GAMES AND IT'S UNACCEPTABLE BUT HERE WE ARE CAPE GOATING IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.

WE WILL HAVE SLOW TSA LINES.

PEOPLE IN CHICAGO WITH FEDERAL HOUSING VOUCHERS WON'T HAVE IT PAID FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.

THE THINGS THEY ARE DOING ARE DEVASTATING I THINK THEY FORGET THAT PEOPLE ALSO NEED THESE SERVICES.

>> AND TO YOU THINK THERE WOULD BE ANY AGREEMENT ON I BILL THAT'S PASSED WITH SO-CALLED MORE BORDER SECURITY AS SOME OF THE HARD LINE REPUBLICANS ARE ASKING BE ABLE TO PASS IN A DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED SENATE?

>> I'M NOT SEEING HOW THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO AGREE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ARE GOING TO AGREE TO ANYTHING.

I WANT TO TELL YOU IT'S WHAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW IN THE HOUSE IS THERE'S A COLLAPSE OF GOVERNMENT.

I DON'T EVEN LIKE TO CALL IT A SHUT DOWN.

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S REALLY INTENTIONAL AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

RIGHT NOW KEVIN MCCARTHY HAS VERY LITTLE OPTIONS AND POWER AND I MEAN IT'S A -- I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT THIS BAD.

THIS -- I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME OTHER SHUT DOWNS BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN A SITUATION LIKE THIS WITH THE SENATE IS IT READY TO COME UP WITH A CONTINUING RESOLUTION SO WE CAN ALL AGREE AND -- THE REPUBLICANS AND THE DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE AND KEVIN MCCARTHY STANDS ALONE WITH THE WORST OF THE WORST OF THE MAGA REPUBLICANS.

>> SO, CONGRESSWOMAN, FOR THOSE THAT AREN'T SO INTERESTED IN THE POLITICS OR THE DIVISIONS BUT JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO STAY OPEN AND NATIONAL PARKS ARE GOING TO STAY OPEN AND PEOPLE WILL GET PAID WHAT IS THE PATH TO A SOLUTION HERE?

>> THE PATH TO A SOLUTION UNFORTUNATELY IS THROUGH KEVIN MCCARTHY COMING TO HIS SENSES BUT RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE HE CARES MORE ABOUT BEING A SPEAKER THAN CARING ABOUT THE COUNTRY BECAUSE IF HE PUT SOMETHING DECENT ON THE TABLE OR ALLOWS THE SENATE CR TO COME THROUGH THERE WITH BE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS THAT -- ENOUGH OF US THAT VOTED FOR IT TO SEE IT THROW.

WE DON'T WANT PARKS SHUT DOWN.

WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE NOT TO GET PAID.

WE WANT TSA PEOPLE GETTING FADE.

WE WANT THE AGENCY THAT THERE IS SOMEONE THERE TO ANSWER THE PHONE.

WE DON'T WANT THIS.

THIS IS KEVIN AND HIS FEW OR HIS TEN PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY CAUSING ALL OF THIS AND UNFORTUNATELY SOME OF THE OTHER REPUBLICANS ARE GOING ALONG WITH IT BUT I KNOW SOME OF THEM DO NOT WANT THIS BUT THEY ARE NOT EVEN BEING GIVEN A CHANCE TO VOTE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

LET'S HEAR WHAT THE SPEAKER HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS.

>> I BELIEVE WE CAN SECURE THE BORDER, GET THE FUNDING NEEDED TO KEEP GOVERNMENT UP AND RUNNING.

THE PRESIDENT IS SITTING ON THE SIDELINE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PRESIDENT WILLING TOEN GANG.

>> HE IS SILL SAYING THEY SECURING THE BORDER.

IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE HE IS GOING TO AGREE TO ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE WIDESPREAD AGREEMENT AMONG DEMOCRATS THEN.

>> NO.

I MEAN, THE CRAZY THING IS THAT THEY KEEP ASKING HIM FOR MORE.

PUTTING MORE CUTS, DO MORE HATEFUL THINGS.

AND THEN HE PUT ITSELF IN THERE AND THEN THEY SAY NOT ENOUGH, DO, DO MORE, DO MORE.

HE HAS LOST ABSOLUTE CONTROL.

IF HE ACTUALLY WANTED TO MOVE ALONG HE WOULD COME TO HIS SENSES, NEGOTIATE WITH US, NOT PUT VETERANS ON THE LINE AND KEEP THE GOVERNMENT GOING.

42,000 GOVERNMENT WORKERS IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS ARE NOT GOING TO RECEIVE A PAYCHECK EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1st.

THIS IS WHAT HE IS DOING AND HE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT SECURING THE BORDER F YOU LOOKED AT THE LANGUAGE OF THE BILL THIS IS ALL ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT CHILDREN ARE NOT FED, THAT PREGNANT WOMEN ARE PUT IN DETENTION CENTERS, IMMEDIATELY DEPORTED, THAT ANYONE THAT WILL PROVIDE ANY KIND OF SHELTER WOULD LOOSE ALL DHS FUNDING.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUELTY AND YET HIS MAGA REPUBLICANS TELL HIM IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH.

>> I GOT TO GET TO THE ISSUE OF IMMIGRATION HERE.

BUSES CONTINUE TO COME WITH MIGRANTS ESPECIALLY IN TEXAS.

CHICAGO IS A SANCTUARY CITY, ILLINOIS IS A SANCTUAR STATE.

CAN THE CITY AND STATE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE INFLUX?

>> YOU KNOW CHICAGO IS A WELCOMING PLACE.

ILLINOIS IS A WELCOMING PLACE.

WHAT WE ARE SEEING, ESPECIALLY FROM TEXAS THE BUS LOAD AFTER BUS LOAD OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SENT HERE.

THIS DELIBERATE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SENDING THIS TO US AND WE NEED HELP.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE REALLY PUSHING FOR.

IF WE COULD GET SOME INCREASED WORK PERMITS FOR A NUMBER OF THESE IMMIGRANTS.

I TALKED TO SO MANY OF THEM AND WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

A JOB.

AND WHAT DO EMPLOYERS NEED?

WORKERS.

SO, YOU KNOW WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER IN COALITION WHERE -- PEOPLE EVEN SOME OF THE RED STATES WHO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED WORKERS TO GET WORK PERMITS.

>> CONGRESSWOMAN, I MEAN -- >> GO HEAD.

>> WE ONLY HAVE A FEW SECONDS.

I HAVE TO BRING UP THIS CONTRACT THE CITY JUST STRUCK TO BUILD TENT CITIES.

RU IN FAVOR OF THIS DEAL?

THERE'S BEEN CONTROVERSY AROUND THIS COMPANY.

>> YEAH.

I THINK THAT WE NEED TO DO SOME DUE DILIGENCE AROUND THE COMPANY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE SHELTERS FOR PEOPLE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

WE CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN OUT IN THE COLD AND THE WINTER AND SO I'M GOING TO WE BE LOOKING IN TO MORE CLOSELY THE CONTRACT.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AND PROVIDE SHELTER
