• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We are hours away from a government shutdown. That is
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the big story. And what we know right now is
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: earlier in the day, the President made it very clear
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: that he didn't want there to be a government shut down,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: but he's having to deal with the Democrats.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: A meeting with as you know, a couple of Democrats
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: a little while about the country but keeping our country open.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: They're going to have to do some things because their
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: ideas are not very good ones. They're very bad for
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: our country. So we'll see how that works out.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: We'll see how that works out. Now we know that
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Democrats don't want to shut down the government, right how
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: do we know this? They've been saying it for years,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: but all of a sudden now they're in favor of it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So which Democratic party do you really trust? Well, I'd
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: love to just remind you, the American people, what the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Democrats have said in the not too distant pass about
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: government shutdowns. Many of the voices that you're going to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: hear are still in power running our government right now.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Will these people hostage instead of just letting them do
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: their jobs, which they want to do while we work
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: out our differences?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: So wrong?
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: This is democracy, and in a democracy, hostage tactics are
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: the last resort for those who can't win their fights
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: through elections, can't win their fights in Congress, can't win
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: their fights for the presidency, and can't win their fights
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: in the court.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: They doesn't shut down as any duration with harm hard
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: working Americans and our economy.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Why should we ask TSA officers to go without their
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: harder and pay while they protect our airports.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I'm a senator from Virginia. Some of the hardest effects
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: of shutdown will.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: Be seen in my state.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: who suffer most.
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: Some right now are trying to figure out how they're
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: going to pay rent, how they're going to make mortgage payments,
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: how they're going to keep college payments going, how they're
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: going to keep the lights on, how they're going to
• 2:02
  Speaker 8: keep food on the table.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Had the government shutdown, hundreds of thousands of people would
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: have not gotten their paychecks. Federal employees would have been
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: furloughed sent home.
• 2:12
  Speaker 9: Our military will get paid, head start teachers will get paid,
• 2:17
  Speaker 9: our wildfire fighters will get paid, present federal prison guards
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: will get paid.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: A government shutdown, these seniors who rely on Social Security
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: could be thrown into chaos. Our veterans could see regional
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: VA offices shut down and support services put on hold.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Shutdowns are not good for the economy.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Shutdowns cost taxpayers billions of dollars per week.
• 2:39
  Speaker 10: Shutdowns cost the economy billions of dollars.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: They cost businesses money.
• 2:46
  Speaker 9: They could even.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Cost a downgrade to the nation's credit rating.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Families who benefit from WICK and other nutrition programs could
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: see benefits halted.
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: If this shutdown continues indefinitely, thirty nine million Americans risk
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: not having enough.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: They will lose their SNAP benefits in February, so that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: means American.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Children will be going to bed hungry.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: It's unacceptable.
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: The longer that this shutdown goes on, the more Americans
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: that will be affected.
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: Critical services and our economy are being threatened with poison pill.
• 3:18
  Speaker 10: Partisanship.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Shutting down the government should not be a negotiating tactic.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Hostage taking is all They have left, a last gasp
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: of those who cannot cope with the realities of our democracies.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: That is the Democratic Party. That montage put together by
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the White House President Donald Trump putting it out on
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: true social as well, and the question that everyone should
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: be asking is where are those Democrats and what changed? Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we know a lot of what changed, and that is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the fact that they want to hold America hostage for
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: what they want.
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: What do they want?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Well, they want a one point five I have a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: trillion dollar port barrel list for them. What is included
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in it is what should shock most of you. Free
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: healthcare for illegal immigrants, child mutilations that are covered by
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the tax payers. Medicaid fraud is also something they want
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to keep going. Open borders is part of the one
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: point five trillion as well, and demanding men in women's sports.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: But what are Democrats saying online? Mark Warner said, This
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Democrats position is simple, lower costs, save real health care,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: keep the government open.
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: It shouldn't be this hard.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Let's just repeal costly cuts health care and save millions
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of Americans money. Well, then the question is why is
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it costing us one point five trillion for all the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: radical ideals that they're demanding. This is who the left is.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: They're literally holding the country hostage now, and it is
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a party of open, of allowing for violent crime and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: transgender for everybody, and all of those ideas are now
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: literally jeopardizing a lot of important things, which include military pay,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: critical care for veterans, firefighter pay, disaster relief funding, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: many more programs on which many Americans rely on. Now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Republicans are committed to keeping the government
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: open with a clean funding extension.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: What's even more shocking is they don't want that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You may say, well, hold on a second, what is
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a clean funding extension?
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: What does this actually mean? How do we know that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: a good thing.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about my friends over
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: cell phone service, with new ones popping up all the time.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: But if you want to make a difference and you
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: one way you can do that is by getting rid
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now. That is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: been in service now for thirteen years, and right now
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: is the best time ever to switch, because it's never
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: want you to know why switching is so important. Because
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: every time you make a call, every time you send
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: are wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they give it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: can keep your same number, keep your saying phone, or upgrade.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: service team and literally they can now with technology, get
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you activated in minutes from the comfort your home or
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: your office. You're second a contractor, owe money on your phones,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: this is how we win, folks by aligning our spinning
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now, let
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: me also give you a free month of service. Go

  Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: two patriot. Take a listen to what the White House
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Press Secretary had to say about it when she was
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: explaining it to the press.
• 7:59
  Speaker 11: What I want share is that what this White House
• 8:02
  Speaker 11: wants and what Republicans want. We want a clean funding
• 8:05
  Speaker 11: extension to keep the government open.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: That's all.
• 8:08
  Speaker 11: We're advocating for, a simple, clean budget extension, a straightforward,
• 8:11
  Speaker 11: responsible solution to keep the government open to November twenty
• 8:14
  Speaker 11: first and allow the full year appropriations process to move forward.
• 8:19
  Speaker 11: And I will add this is the same budget that
• 8:21
  Speaker 11: the Democrats approved six months ago, just adjusted for inflation.
• 8:25
  Speaker 11: And unfortunately, all of a sudden now they want to
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: shut down the government. And if the government is shut down,
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: it's only going to it will be the fault of
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: the Democrats, and it will only hurt the most vulnerable
• 8:35
  Speaker 11: in our country, our seniors, our veterans, our military families,
• 8:39
  Speaker 11: and increasing security for members of Congress, which is something
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: this White House in the administration supports. And if you
• 8:45
  Speaker 11: look back at the statements made by Chuck Schumer and
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: Hakeem Jeffries in the past, they too have advocated against
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: a shutdown and for keeping the government open. Democrat Chuck
• 8:57
  Speaker 11: Schumer himself said a shutdown would mean chaos, pain, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 11: needless heartache for the American people. He said once avoiding
• 9:04
  Speaker 11: a shutdown is very good news for the country, for
• 9:06
  Speaker 11: our veterans, for parents and children, for farmers, and for
• 9:09
  Speaker 11: small businesses. Hikim Jeffries also said, it's about the harm.
• 9:13
  Speaker 11: Families will be hurt if there is a government shutdown,
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: Farmers will be hurt, holiday travel will be impacted. Democrats
• 9:20
  Speaker 11: clearly know what the right thing to do is here.
• 9:22
  Speaker 11: It's to join with Republicans to pass this clean funding extension.
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: That's what the White House and the President wants.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So that's the playground that we have right now before us.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They are playing with many people's lives. They're playing with
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: people who desperately need their paychecks. They're playing with our
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: men and women in uniform, including their paychecks. And if
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you look at all of what I just ascribed to you.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: You would think that Democrats would say, all right, let's
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: just have a clean extension. No, no, no, that is
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: absolutely not what they're wanting to do. So then you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: have to ask yourself the question, why is this Schumer
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: shutdown becoming a reality. Well, it actually is all about politics,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: but not the usual them against us mentality.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: It's actually really simple.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is going to shut down the government to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: show that he is a radical liberal. Now you may say,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: why would he want to do that, It's actually very simple.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He is terrified of a primary challenge from the famous
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: radical aoc The Senate Minority Leader, is pushing Congress to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a government shutdown because he's so scared of being challenged
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: in a primary by far left Representative Alexander Ocassio Cortes.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: The Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Tom Cotton also throwing this
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: out today, making it clear this is all about him
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: trying to save himself. And after Schumer and the House
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Minority leader had came, Jeffries left their Monday afternoon meeting
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: with President Donald Trump without a deal to avoid a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: government shutdown before the Wednesday deadline, and blasted the New
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: York Center in a statement saying, quote, Chuck Schumer is
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: shutting down the government because he's terrified of a primary
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: from AOC. His actions are disgraceful, referring to when asked
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: about the reaction of Democrats' refusal degree on even a
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: short term funding deal. House Republicans were joined by a
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: singular Democrat representative Jared Golden of Maine and passing a
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: bill on September the nineteenth that would have kept the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: government funding until November twentieth, but Senate Democrats blocked it
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: from advancing. Instead, they proposed their own funding bill demands
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: with an extra you know, one point four to one
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: point five trillion for their radical far left projects, including
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: free health care for illegals, funding by the way for
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: MPR and PBS, and transgendered surgeries that you're supposed to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: pay for now. Republicans blocked the Democrats counter offer for
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: advancing this in the Senate, leaving Congress to either come
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to an agreement by midnight on Tuesday or accept a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: real government shutdown that could actually last a long time.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats are willing to shut down
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the government because they're scared of their radical base take
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a list of center. Cotton saying this to Hugh Hewitt.
• 12:22
  Speaker 12: Schumer is about shut down the government because he's scared
• 12:25
  Speaker 12: of a girl in New York City. Her name is
• 12:28
  Speaker 12: Alexandria Kazier Quortez, and he fears that she will primary
• 12:32
  Speaker 12: him four years from now, in twenty twenty eight if
• 12:36
  Speaker 12: he doesn't do the far left bidding. If you call
• 12:39
  Speaker 12: Hugh and marsh As, we're on the verge of another
• 12:41
  Speaker 12: Schumer shutdown. He caved and voted to keep the government
• 12:47
  Speaker 12: open and gave all kinds of backflipping explanations for why
• 12:51
  Speaker 12: he was not doing what the left demanded, and he
• 12:54
  Speaker 12: got some blowback from his left and from Alexandri Cazier
• 12:58
  Speaker 12: Cortez and been fearful of her and of this vote
• 13:02
  Speaker 12: ever since. So he's apparently about to lead his caucus
• 13:06
  Speaker 12: over the cliff and shut down the government because he
• 13:10
  Speaker 12: doesn't want Alexandria Causier Cortez to run against him in
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: four years.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Is it actually that simple?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: The answer is yes, especially if you listen to Democrats
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that we played for you earlier in their own words.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: So where do we go from here? The reality is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: we are moments away, hours away minutes away from a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: government's shutdown. And Democrats are doing this for two reasons.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: They want to fund their radical agenda, but what they're
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: also doing it for is to try to save their leader.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer came out in front of the cameras and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: made it very clear after you left the White House meeting.
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: Here's his thoughts on the shutdown.
• 13:49
  Speaker 13: We have very large differences on healthcare and on their
• 13:53
  Speaker 13: ability to undo whatever budget we agree to through decisions
• 13:57
  Speaker 13: and through impoundment as well as pocket recisions.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It's very clear Chuck Schumer not talking like a man
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that wants to actually get anything done. You had the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Vice President jd Vance who came out of that meeting
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: with Speaker Johnson. Here's part of what he said in response.
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: We just had a very frank conversation with the Senate
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: and House Democratic leadership. Look, the principle at stake here
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: is very simple. We have disagreements about tax policy.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: But you don't shut that government down.
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: We have disagreements about healthcare policy, but you don't shut
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: the government down. You don't use your policy disagreements as
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: leverage to not pay our troops, to not have essential
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: for services of government. Actually function.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: You don't say the fact that you disagree about a particular.
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: Tax provision is an excuse for shutting down to the
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: people's government and all the essential services that come along
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: with it. If you look at what Chuck Schumer has
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: said in the past consistently, it's whatever our disagreements are,
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: let's negotiate with him, let's talk about them, let's figure
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: out a bipartisan solution. But you don't shut the government down.
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: In other words, you don't put a gun to the
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: American people's head and say, unless you do exactly what
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: Senate and House Democrats want you to do, we're going
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: to shut down your government.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: That's exactly what they're proposing out there now. We have
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: to remember they're very frustrated.
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: They say that they're very frustrated about the fact that
• 15:10
  Speaker 10: this negotiation has not taken place until today. But if
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: you look at the original the original thing they did
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: with this negotiation, it was a one point five trillion
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: dollar spending package, basically saying to the American people, we
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: want to give massive amounts of money, hundreds of billions
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: of dollars to illegal aliens for their health care while
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: Americans are struggling to.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Pay their health care bills. That was their.
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: Initial foray into this negotiation. We thought it was absurd.
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: We told them it was absurd, And now they come
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: in here it's saying that if you don't give us
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: everything that we want, we're going to shut down the government.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: We think that's preposterous.
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: We think it's totally unacceptable, and we think the American
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: people are going to suffer because these guys won't do
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: the right thing.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Now, I want to make one final point here. You
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: will hear a lot.
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: From Senate Democrats, from House Democrats about the fact that
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: American health care policy is broken. Well, we know that
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: American health care policy is broken. We've been trying to
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: fix it for the eight months that we've been in office.
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: But every single thing that they accused about being broken
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: about American health care is policy that Democrats have supported
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: for the past decade. So if they want to talk
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: about how to fix American health care policy.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Let's do it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: The Speaker would love to do it, the Senate Majority
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: leader would love to do it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Let's work on it together.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: But let's do it in the context of an open
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: government that's providing essential services to the American people. That's
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: all that we're proposing to do, and the fact that
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: they refuse to do that shows how unreasonable their position is.
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: I think we're headed to a shutdown because the Democrats
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: won't do the right thing. I hope they changed their mind,
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: but we're going.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: To see it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I hope they change their mind, but we'll see. He
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't done there. There's also other points that were made
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: as well. Leader John Thune on the Democrats pulling America
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: towards a government shut down.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Here's what he said walking out of the meeting.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: This right here, ladies and gentlemen, is what we're talking about.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Twenty four pages to continue resolution to fund the government
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: through November the twenty first. I don't know where they're
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: saying this is some huge partisan thing. This is something
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: we do fairly routinely, and when the Democrats had the
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: majority on thirteen different occasions they have the majority. President
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Biden was in the White House, we pass continuing resolutions
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: to fund the government. This is purely and simply hostage,
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: taking the path on behalf of the Democrats. The Republicans
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: are United House Republicans, Senate Republicans, President Trump. The House
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: has passed a clean Funding Resolution to fund the government
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: until November the twenty first. It's clean, it is bipartisan,
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: and it is short term, but it gives us enough
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: time to finish the appropriations process, which is the way
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: we should be funding the government. So Republicans in the House,
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: the Senate, President United they passed the bill. This is
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: setting setting right now at the Senate desk. We could
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: pick it up and pass it tonight. We could pick
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: it up and pass it tomorrow before the government shuts down,
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: and then we don't have a government shutdown.
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: It is totally up.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: To the Democrats because right now they are the only
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: thing standing between the American people and the government shutting down.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: We're all in favor of funding the government, and this
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: is something that's been done routinely thirteen different times by
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: the Democrats when they had the majority. So to me,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: this is purely a hostage taking exercise on the part
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: of the Democrats. We are willing to sit down and
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: work with them on some of the issues they want
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: to talk about, whether it's the extension of premium tax
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: credits with reforms. We're happy to have that conversation. But
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: as of right now, this is a hijacking all the
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: American people, and it's the American people are going to
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: pay the price.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: It's a hijacking of the American people, and the American
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: people are going to be the ones that pay the price. Democrats,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: by the way, when Americans pay for health care for
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: illegals and they're ready to shut down the government for it,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren seven hours ago said.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Americans need affordable health care.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: No one should go bankrupt because they get sick and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: needed a doctor. If republic can want to shut down
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the government so they can keep increasing costs and cutting
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: health care, then they need to explain that to the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: American people. So what are the Democrats demanding? Not healthcare
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: for you, They're demanding healthcare for illegal immigrants. I'm going
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to say it again, They're demanding it for illegal immigrants.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: The Speaker of the House, Johnson saying this on Fox
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: News Channel about the shutdown.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: It went well.
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: Sean, by the way, thanks for playing the highlight real tonight.
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: Their hypocrisy is just breathtaking and it's shameless, and it
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: was on display in the Oval Office. Credit President Trump
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: showing real leadership. He's operating in good faith and that
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: was on display by bringing the leaders in He heard
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: the arguments and the debates. They're baseless. I mean, Chuck
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: Schimber is now arguing exactly the opposite of what he
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: has always said in his career. And why you hit
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: the nail right on the head, Sean. He's doing it
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: at a political desperation. He is willing to force the
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: government to shut down just to oppose President Trump for
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: temporary political cover for himself, and he will abandon the
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: American people just to do that. It's really something to
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: watch now.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson also had this to say as he walked
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: out of the White House and talking about just how
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: consequential this shutdown will be, where Democrats aren't even thinking
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: about our men and women in uniform, those eating, FEMA,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: funding mental health services, and a whole lot more.
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: Their counterproposal, what Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries are demanding,
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: is that they claw back the fifty billion dollars if
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: we put into the rural hospital support structure. They want
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: to take that back. We're not going to do that.
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: We passed that because we have to allow for that. Also,
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: if they shut the government down, not only are troops unpaid,
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: federal workers and all the services that everybody relies upon.
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: But the Whig program, the nutrition program, women infinite children,
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: they will not get that program will not be funded.
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: FEMA won't be funded. We have hurricanes off the coast
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: of the United States right now. This is serious business.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: Have mental health services, all that that's funded by the
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: government would stop if Chuck Schumer and how King Jeffreys
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: and the Democrats have their way. The Democrats shutdown would
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: be damaging for the country. We can't allow for it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: So here we are on the verge of a major shutdown.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: The White House Office of Management Director Vought saying, this
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: is something that the American be we need to understand,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: is going to cost you a lot of money, all
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: because of the demands of the Democrats.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: We want to keep this government open.
• 21:29
  Speaker 14: It is not good for the American people to have
• 21:31
  Speaker 14: the government shut down for any period of time. We
• 21:34
  Speaker 14: will manage it appropriately, but it is something that can
• 21:37
  Speaker 14: all be avoided. It can all be avoided by accepting
• 21:40
  Speaker 14: a reasonable position, which is what the House has passed
• 21:43
  Speaker 14: and what sits at the Senate desk, which is to
• 21:45
  Speaker 14: continue to fund the government with a short term continuing
• 21:48
  Speaker 14: resolution that it has never been put a viewpoint that
• 21:53
  Speaker 14: one and a half trillion dollars is a reasonable amount
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: of spending to be included on a short term cr
• 21:59
  Speaker 14: This hostage taking, it is not something that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: We are going to accept.
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: And we hope that the Democrats come back from the
• 22:06
  Speaker 14: brink fund this government and allow us to move forward.
• 22:09
  Speaker 14: Thank you.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: We want to so here we are.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: We are in a moment where the government is about
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to be shut down, and a shutdown will happen for
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: one main reason because Chuck Schumer needs a stand up
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to AOC and the radical left and show that he
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: can be just as extreme as they are. During the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Biden administration, there were thirteen threatened shutdowns. The Republicans in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the minority did the right thing. They kept the government open.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: And what Chuck Schumer has been asked is this, they're
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: asking the Democrats to do the same. They're not willing
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: to do it all because of a one point five
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: trillion dollar hostage plan. Ransom, that is what this is.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And Chuck Schumer making it clear in thirteen seconds. We
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: have very large differences on healthcare, Yes we do. Democrats
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: want taxpayers to fund free health care for illegals and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Republicans do not so. Here we are and the National
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Economic Council Kevin Hassett saying, since President Trump took office,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: capital spending, equipment spending, which is the stuff that really
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: drives wage growth, is up seven percent. There's a massive
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: investment boom and that's why we're seeing GDP growth. And
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Democrats hate that and they want to stifen the economy
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: as well, and they clearly believe this is another way
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to do that. Don't forget share this podcast please with
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: your family and your friends wherever they are, and I
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: will see you back here tomorrow
