00:00thank you good afternoon everyone we are only hours away from a government shutdown and the

00:13democrats have a very clear binary choice they can choose to keep the government open by voting

00:22for a short-term nonpartisan clean continuing resolution 24 pages long or they can vote to shut

00:34the government down that's what we're looking at and if the government shuts down it is on the Senate

00:42Democrats the House has acted the president's ready to sign the bill and all that's left is

00:47for eight Democrats to join us in passing that bill today and if they decide to vote it down

00:54tonight they're going to be the ones that have to explain at midnight tonight why the government

01:00shut down Democrats do not want to shut down we stand ready to work with Republicans to find a

01:07bipartisan compromise in the balls in their court finally after months of asking months and mounting

01:17pressure leader Jeffries and I went to the White House yesterday to meet with the president and

01:21Republican leaders to find a way forward and sitting in the room it was very clear behind closed doors

01:29that the president hasn't fully grasped the magnitude of the disaster he's causing Americans as costs

01:37continue to sky right for a skyrocket for Americans thanks to Trump's tariffs economic policies clean energy

01:46policies and disastrous blunders Americans are prepared to spend 114 percent more on their health

01:55insurance that's right that just came out the Kaiser that according to the Kaiser families foundations

02:02analysis today without ACA premium tax credits premiums will double more than double on average and this

02:11not only affects those on ACA it affects just about every American family with health insurance

02:20Republicans know perfectly well that undocumented immigrants are already prohibited as I said from

02:27getting insurance on ACA Medicare or Medicaid they know perfectly well not a single sentence or clause or

02:33comma that we're pushing in our bill does that but they're lying because they know they're screwed if this

02:41debate turns about turns into one about health care and guess what that's just what we are doing

02:50his video was dumb it was childish it was petty it's something that a five-year-old would do not a

02:59president of the United States but it shows how one serious they are they don't give a damn about the

03:04harm they will cause with their shutdown minute yes the president is now threatening these irreversible cuts

03:13to the workforce to programs is that a risk that Democrats are willing to take the bottom line is he's

03:18doing it anyway they've already cut 300,000 people whether there's a shutdown or not it'll be up to Trump

03:25whether he's going to let Musk formally doge vote do these cuts do these layoffs and do these um firings

03:35it will fall on him as I said he's the one doing the firings not Democrats and that's what it shows yes
