The transcript discusses the approval of a continuing resolution by the Senate and House to extend government funding through December 20th. This measure includes a military pay raise, health care program extensions, and census funding. The main obstacle to a full-year spending bill is President Trump's demand for $8.6 billion for a US-Mexico border wall.
