The numbers are expected to show some impact of trade and chaos in the fiscal space with just 106,000 as the forecast consensus, 95,000 for the whisper number. So Wall Street leaning towards pessimism. Unemployment 4.3%.This would be a case of rounding. When we look out to three digits because barely rounded down to four to last month and it could go as high as four four depending on where we end up. Jobless claims are out today as well, 241,000.That's about where we are right now. So if there's a big chang ...

It had been my hope, Mr. . Speaker, that we'd be able to have a robust debate, passionate support or passionate opposition in connection with this bill that hundreds of members on both sides of the aisle could participate in.

And so that is why she's here today. And I'm very glad that she is.It's unwise. The politicians don't comment on markets and I'm not going to do so. Thank you.Do you worry that this is becoming too ...

I want to be clear. We are spending money on taxpayers priorities. But that wouldn't have been possible without the measures that we took in the budget last year.We fixed the foundations and we've put our economy back on a strong footing.

Joining us now straight from the House floor, Democratic Congressman Morgan McGarvey of Kentucky. He's a member of the House Budget Committee. You've already had a long night and I know that we're sort of on the clock for whenever Hakee Jeff stops speaking and this actual vote goes on, but take us inside the mood on the floor right now among Democrats and if there's any conversation with Republicans between the parties.
