00:00to reopen the government. Let's fix America's problems, let's work together to solve them,
00:04but let's reopen the government before we have our negotiation about health care policy.
00:09That's what the American people demand, and that's certainly what the President of the United
00:12States wants. Let me make one final point. I think a lot of Americans are asking themselves,
00:17why did this happen? Why did the Democrats shut down the government despite, as Caroline said,
00:21voting on the exact same piece of legislation six months ago? And there are a lot of different
00:25spins that we can put on it, a lot of different answers that we could give, all of them true.
00:29One answer I already gave is that they want to give health care benefits to illegal aliens. That
00:33is true. They gave us legislative text that would have undone us cutting off health care benefits for
00:40illegal aliens. That's one of the things that they asked for. But the reality here, and let's be honest
00:45about the politics, is that Chuck Schumer is terrified she's going to get a primary challenge
00:50from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The reason why the American people's government is shut down
00:56is because Chuck Schumer is listening to the far left radical.
