About this episode
As a government shutdown looms in Washington, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) discusses friction between the Republicans and Democrats that’s delaying progress on the Hill. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) then responds to the Speaker, underscoring the Democrats’ priority in American health care. CNBC’s Emily Wilkins explains the points of contention between parties and the likelihood of a bipartisan agreement before tonight’s funding deadline. Plus, Boeing has reportedly started working on a replacement for the troubled 737 Max and both fintech Wealthfront and Jennifer Garner’s Once Upon a Farm have filed for an IPO.
