From KQED.

Thank you. From KQBD in San Francisco, I'm Nina Kim. Coming up on forum, how long will this government shut down last after lawmakers and the president last night failed to reach a deal to continue funding federal agencies?

We hear from Bay Area Congressman Mark D'Souin, as Democrats and Republicans fight a messaging war over who to blame for what could be a painful period of federal employees, going without pay, and facing job losses.

Then today's the day electric vehicle drivers in California lose their carpool lane access when driving solo,

this in addition to other federal EV incentives going away.

We look at how your commute could be affected. Join us. Welcome to Forum. I'm Mina Kim. Two key EV incentives are no longer today.

Carpool lane access and tax credits for buying an EV. We look at the impacts. But first, the likely government shutdown

we talked about on our show Monday is now reality, as the president and Republicans failed last

night to reach a deal with Democrats who are demanding an extension of health insurance subsidies

and rollbacks on Medicaid cuts in exchange for funding bill votes, while services deemed essential

are expected to continue, the longer the shutdown goes on, the more Californians will feel its

effects. Joining me now is Bay Area Congressman Mark DeSanier, who held a town hall last night on the

shutdown's impacts. Thank you for joining us, Congressman.

My pleasure. Thank you for inviting me.

So what did you tell your constituents that a government shutdown will mean for them last night?
