A government shutdown looms at the end of this week, and continued debate over a word that President Trump said or did not say.

Other topics during the hour include former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon being subpoenaed in the Russia investigation and President Trump and Republican lawmakers' aim to loosen regulations imposed after the 2008 financial crisis.
