Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
A deal in principle. I'm Sue Guzman, Fox News. Senate Democrats have reportedly reached a deal with the White House to avoid a partial government shutdown. The vote was set for Thursday night, but stopped by South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who said he was upset that the package would only fund the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks.
We can find out a way forward, but not this way. ICE agents are not infallible. but I appreciate what they're doing.
Chapter 2: What deal did Senate Democrats reach with the White House?
I've never been more offended than I am right now about what's being said about these folks.
Fox's Mike Emanuel with more from Washington, D.C.
This package would split the Homeland Security funding from a package of five other major spending bills. The Senate's plan is to pass a two-week funding package for Homeland Security at current spending level until February 13th. President Trump is signaling support, saying he's working hard with Congress to ensure they are able to fully fund the government.
The Senate's working to get agreement to fast track the change, but it's not clear if they can lock in the deal tonight. The House would also have to approve the package. But after the longest government shutdown in U.S. history last fall, it sounds like nobody really wants to shut it down again.
Earliest the House could vote would be Monday, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson. President Trump expected to name former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Walsh this morning as the new Fed chair to replace Jerome Powell. President Trump had considered Walsh for the job eight years ago, but wound up selecting Powell.
He and Powell have not seen eye to eye in recent months, with the president accusing him of moving too slowly on lowering interest rates. Powell's term ends in May.
And President Trump declaring a national emergency over Cuba, issuing an executive order that threatens tariffs on countries that sell or supply oil to the embattled communist island nation, move especially targeting Mexico oil supply lines, and designates Cuba as a state sponsor of terror.
