Chapter 1: What are the current threats of a government shutdown?
The countdown to government shutdown is underway as Senate Democrats threaten to sink the spending bill.
If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans who suffer most.
Who wins and who loses in the high stakes gamble?
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Friday, March 14th, and this is Morning Wire. The EPA's new administrator takes historic action, declaring the death of what he calls the Green News scam.
You're talking about hundreds of millions, billions, and sometimes into the trillions when you're looking at the impact of each of these regulations.
And Utah is set to become the first state to ban fluoride in its water as the Maha movement gains even more momentum.
You know, it's one of the easiest thing you can do to start restoring American health is just get the fluoride out of the water.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

Chapter 2: How are Senate Democrats reacting to the spending bill?
The federal government is on the verge of a shutdown as Congress debates a spending package in Washington. Here with the latest is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. Hey, Cabot, so a politically precarious situation on Capitol Hill, particularly for Democrats coming down to the wire here. First, how did we get to this point?
Yeah, Republicans and Democrats in Congress have until midnight tonight to come to an agreement on a spending bill that will keep the government running. Otherwise, there will be a shutdown. For context, on Tuesday, Republicans in the House passed a continuing resolution, or CR, that will keep the lights on until September 30th, with spending levels staying put.
Now it has to make it through the Senate, which is a tall order. That's because 60 votes are required for legislation to make it to the floor for a final vote. And as we know, there are only 53 Republican members. 52 of whom are on board. Kentucky's Rand Paul is out. That means they'll need at least eight Democrats to get on board, or we could be heading for a shutdown.
So the big question here, obviously, does it look like enough Democrats will actually go along here?
Well, from what we're hearing out of Washington, no one really knows what to expect. It's going to be a crazy morning, but things shifted in the CR's favor yesterday evening. As of Thursday afternoon, Pennsylvania's John Fetterman had been the only Democrat to cross the aisle and give support to the resolution, saying a no vote would be, quote, chaos and I will never vote for chaos.
He went on to refer to the Democrat strategy of blocking the CR as, quote, total theater that is neither honest with constituents nor a winning argument. Now, one reason more Democrats weren't getting on board is because minority leader Chuck Schumer was urging them to stand firm, voting no.
Schumer spent the week saying Democrats were unified against the Republican bill and would only vote to support a 30 day stopgap measure that will keep funding levels steady and then allow for more time to negotiate a larger, longer agreement. Here he is making that point Wednesday.
Our caucus is unified on a clean April 11th CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass. We should vote on that.
But in a stunning about-face Thursday night, Schumer reversed course and announced that he would support the Republican resolution, saying it was the only way to avoid the chaos of a government shutdown.
