Been raised -- to go to Republican senator John of -- on the phone with us right now.

What is the senate actually debating seven.

Operating -- the discussion is continuing resolution which would take its from October 1 through November 18.

And a lot of -- -- discussion has been around disaster assistance funding.

And whether there should be offsets for that -- and of course we believe there should be.

OK now from what I understand though -- odd situation here's that FEMA.

The Federal Reserve managers association actually has more money than it thought and this is a moot point so you guys to move on but now things have gotten so bad.

And and and and the block between the two sides -- gotten so pronounced.

That a shut down still looks inevitable is that true.

I actually think we have an agreement.

Will defeat the current motion.

And -- I we anticipate that.

Senator Reid will present another motion which would be to.

Essentially pass the CR to continue resolutely ahead -- disaster assistance funny in it.

For fiscal year twelve.

And the house well -- to -- to concur with that in their pro forma session on Thursday and then come back.

And a past similar.

Version next week.

Could skew why this keeps happening now.

I know Republicans -- Democrats zones when Republicans below average and markets is that you guys just constantly.

Go up against the bring both sides.

Are I mean we see this soap opera played out again and again and a lot of -- look at the next fourteen months is that I guess we're just gonna keep keep this.

Now and they're not in cards.

You don't know we need to find a way to work through this kind of gridlock and make sure that we create the kind of legal tax and regulatory certainty.

It encourages business investment.

And that's where addressed very hard graduate.

This does He did etc.

because that's what gives you may be another 6090 days of wiggle room to increase the -- keep operating but then.

Your -- are back in the same predicament.

Three months out and again and again and again.

Absolutely right we have got to create some certainty.

To give some confidence.

That we get this business investment -- get people back to work -- but at the same time.

Get a grip on spending so absolutely right that's gonna take some bipartisanship that we need to work very hard get that done but it didn't happen -- hasn't you know what you guys seem to 82.

Well you know part of it is our belief in private investment -- creating an environment that will stimulate.

Job creation in the private sector vs a bigger federal government and more government spending -- and that's really the debate that's going on -- we've got to get through.

And that's what's happening with this administration economy's getting worse because again it's about more government spending more regulation higher taxes and that's not -- -- What are you guys deserve running out the clock on this guy on some of the president not offering anything in the meantime in just letting -- sort of sort of -- and his own petard -- So we're we're pushing air every day to reduce the regulatory burden to to have to act reforms to create certainty.

To make sure that we're -- the -- -- create an environment.

That would stimulate private investment that's the way we've got to -- Horrible what's closely senator thanks very good time.

Good to talk to --
