00:14FEMA and other critical agencies that fall under DHS. Well, workers in those areas will start
00:19missing paychecks soon and until Congress inks a deal. FEMA and the TSA have been working around

00:33Republican Congressman Don Bacon of Nebraska slammed Democrats for allowing those workers to go

00:55any deal to end the partial shutdown.
