Maria and we begi on spending in washington and a countdown to a potential Government Shutdown. A weekend of talks amongst House Members to come up with a solution to avoid a Government Shutdown one week from today. October 1st. Speaker mccarthy told us weeks ago that he would pursue a socalled Continuing Resolution to fund the government for 30 days past next weeks deadline as congress now has just with six days to prevent that shutdown. I would actually like to have a shortterm c. R. Only to make our argument stronger. Because, maria, if we shut down, all of government shuts down, investigation and Everything Else. It hurts the american public. But if were able to pass our Appropriation Bills, were many a stronger position to remove those pelosi policies that are locked into law right now. Maria among the challenges, a group of conservatives who refuse to agree to any Continuing Resolution, a resubject of current Spending Levels even if its the just 30 days to allow the house to finish the 11 remaining Appropriation Bills to fully fund the government. As the United StatesNational Debt is now over 333 trillion 33 trillion with interest alone on that debt nearly a trillion dollars. Now lawmakers will return on tuesday with hopes to push through at least four Appropriations Bills to partially turned the government by September 30th. Of joining me now with the very latest on these negotiations is this Sunday Morning Futures exclusive interview House Judiciary Committee chairman, chairman jim jordan. Mr. Chairman, thanks very much for being here. Can you tell us where we stand in terms of funding the government . Well, Everyone Wants to get the 12 Appropriation Bills done. Im all for that, thats how we should operate but, frankly, were not going to get it done in the next six days, so theres going to have to be some stop gap measure. Lets win something when we do it, lets do something that actually benefits the entire country. And everyone knows what that issue is. This is literally politics 101. One really good issue beats fifteen pretty good issues every single time, and the one really good issue right now is the problem on our government. Lets say well fund the government for 30 days, Chuck Schumer, but were going to include a measure that says no money can be used to process or release any new My 2k3wr57b9s into the country. Were on pace to break the record of last year which broke the record for the year before which broke the record for any other year. Year after year after year weve seen this unbelievable open border under joe biden, so lets fix it. Lets demand that. And, oh, by the way, maria, even democrats agree with this. Look at mayor eric adams in new york. Lets do that, lets get a win for the American People, and then lets finish these appropriation bill, fund the government the way we should, the right way, the republican way, and lets get all that done. Maria i feel like we were talking about this very scenario six or eight months ago when Speaker Mccarthy was going through all of those rounds, and we knew then that you needed to get those bills done. Why werent the Appropriations Bills done in time . Well, theres been a fight over the number, what level were actually going to fund at. Look, i want to reduce spending too. But in divided government, theres been a number thats agreed on to to fund the government and, frankly, its less than the year before which is a huge step. When we control onehalf of onethird of the government by five votes and weve actually got a negotiated number thats less than joe biden and the democrats spent last year, i think thats a win. So lets hold on that number if we can. Theres some debate within our conference, and i get that. Lets hold on that number if we can, but lets win the policies. The other policy, frankly, we should consider putting on these bills is the policy that says you cant, you cant fund the attack on your political opponent, which is exactly what joe bidens doing when hes funding this jack smith operation going after his political opponent. And the American People, i think, see that for what it is. Its one of the reasons why President Trumps up ten points in the latest poll, for goodness sake, because they know his policies work and joe bidens policies dont. And they see that joe so thats another policy win we could go for that, i think, makes a lot of sense. Maria and i know there are different people who have different priorities. You and Marjorie Taylor greene want to see that in there, no money, no more money for jack smith, no prosecuting of your political enemies. But theres Common Ground on the border. Everybody knows whats going on you not using that conning resolution with Continuing Resolution with one major focus, make sure youve got money to the border and then work on Everything Else within this months time . How come thats not happening . Well, were trying. Look, i respect e money. I get that. We understand how bad the Debt Situation is. But i really think in divided government like were in right now, the one thing we should focus on is that. Were trying to bring the team together. I still think we can. But i think the its important if we can send that c. R. , that stopgap measure, i think its important that that we send it first to Chuck Schumer, because we know what hes going to try to do. Hes going to try to increase spending, put additional dollars for ukraine. Thats a nonstarter for so many of us in the house. So lets focus on getting that that one thing done, serving it over there sending it over there first. Thats exactly what were trying to do in our conference. Maria i want to ask Chuck Schumer and the democrats why it is we have sent 113 billion to ukraine for their border, and is weve got no money going to the u. S. Border. Great question. Maria can anyone answer that question . Great question. And, again, maria, if we say no money can be used to process or release any new migrants into the country, were going to stop it, were going to fix the problem, we send it over there and Chuck Schumer says no to it, then hes in in essence saying its more important to shut down the government than it is to secure our border. I dont think the American People are there. Thats why its so important we send it over there. And frankly, with the ukraine question, no one can ever answer the fundamental question, what is the goal . What ises the objective from is it to get russia out of the Eastern Ukraine . Is it to get them all the way out of crimea which they took when president obama was, their administration . If. Maria yep e. What is the objective . And until someone can define the goal, i dont think i should continue to send tax dollars from the hard working people from the 4th district of ohio. I dont think we should send american taxpayer money there if no one can tell us what the antibiotickive objective is. Until we know that, why should we send money there . Maria i want to turn to the Judiciary Hearing in a second with Merrick Garland, but real quick, youre going to work on four Appropriations Bills this week. Is that going to be enough do you think youre really going to get four bills through this week, and you actually get those done and partially fund the government after September 30th . Thats well, thats the plan, thats the objective. I think we can. I dont think we can get all twelve of them done, but i think we can get those four, and those are the bulk of the spending for the overall budget. So i think we can. We need to work through as much as we canning, but we do need, as we talked about, we need that c. R. Sent to the senate with that one key provision or maybe those two key provisions, focus on those two key policies. Maria all right. And those four are Homeland Security, Department Of Defense, what, foreign ops meaning the embassies, etc. , and agriculture. Yep, those are the four. Maria okay. Congressman, ive got to get your take on what took place last week. Lets roll this sound of Merrick Garland testifying. Watch. Do you know about the money that move through rob walkers Shell Companies, yes or no . As i have said repeatedly, i have left these matters to mr. Weiss. Ive not intruded, ive not interfered listen to the ignorance, its like youre looking the other way on purpose because Everybody Knows this stuffs happening. And, you know what . People dont pay bribes to not get something in return, right . The China Initiative resulted in the convictions of a harvard professor, of someone at monsanto. So we were working against the chinese, they paid the bidens, and now youre sitting here telling me that north koreas the big threat. Maria congressman, thank you for that hearing. It exposed so much. Merrick garland said he did not recollect ever talking about the Hunter Biden Investigation. What are the next steps here . Well, were going to continue to dig. Were going to continue to do our constitutional duty of oversight. And as the speaker announced two weeks ago, we are now in the impeachment inquiry phase. So weve got a number of witnesses at doj we want to depose, and david weiss has committed to come many front of the committee on october 14th. You can boil in this down to the burisma situation. Matt was right to talk about the china issue, but burisma, i think, captures it all. Hunter biden getr two, he wasnt qualified to be on the board. Fact number three, the Burisma Executives asked him, can you help us with the pressure we are facing . Fact number four, joe biden gets the prosecutor fired, lev racks leverages american tax dollars to accomplish that. And then whathey try to sweep ie rug so much so that they allowed the statute of limitations to lapse for the most serious tax, felony tax concerns hunter biden had in 2014 and 2015. They let it lapse because those were the years that dealt with the burisma income. And they were going to sweep it all under the rug but for two brave whistleblowers and a judge in delaware who called bologna on their crazy plea deal. Thats the whole story, and it captures the whole story right there. But then you add in all the other fact, and thats why were in an impeachment inquiry phase. Maria unbelievable. Mr. Chairman, that sounds like bribery and a coverup. Well, they i think they were definitely going to sweep this under this is what were focused on in the Judiciary Committee, how the weiss and Garland Justice Department handled in this investigation. Maria well be watching, and we will watch the see if theres any accountability there, congressman. Thank you. House Judiciary Committee cht exclusive. Now joining us, one of the People Holding up an agreement to fund the government, Florida RepublicanCongressman Matt Gaetz. Congressman, thank you very much for being here this morning. Well, thank you. Im glad i get to respond to you are your monologue, because if youre saying that im standing in the way of all the republican wins, id love you to enumerate them. Watching my friend and mentor jim jordan, it was quite painful because he started by saying we should only pick one fight, the border. But as the interview went on, he said we should pick a second fight, jack smith, and by the time the the interview rounded out, he said we shouldnt be funding ukraine without a plan, yet the Continuing Resolution continues to have 3000 million more for ukraine 300 republican Border Policies is to pass the county of Homeland Security department of Homeland SecurityAppropriations Bill, do that with the other three, well have 73 of the discretionary budget funded. And, you know, if the Department Of Labor and education have to shut down for a few days, thats certainly not something that is optimal, but i think its better than continuing on the current path we are to americas financial ruin. Maria congressman, i understand, and that is why you are on this program this morning, because i want to give you a fair shot. And i want to get you heard. So tell me why you are threatening Speaker Mccarthy and trying to shut down this government at a time that the republicans have finally gotten some upper hands here in terms of wins, able to investigate President Biden on what looks like bribery . Yeah, we dont put our pencils down in the investigation of President Biden during a shutdown. So the premise is false. Second, if Kevin Mccarthy was actually serious about pursuing the bidens, he would have sent hunter biden a subpoena by now. Thats how you know this is sort of Failure Theater that youre observing. During the first year of democrat control of the congress, they brought in donald trump jr. Three timeses over nothing, over a nothing burger. We seem to be fundamentally unserious in our oversight. But what is serious is the fact that we are spending more than 7 trillion a year bringing in around 5 trillion a year, and i want to fund the government. Im not proshutdown. But the way to fund th
