00:00Welcome back.
00:01The government shutdown in the United States will continue next week, following the failure
00:06of a new vote on Friday in the Senate, where the division between Democrats and Republicans
00:10shows no signs of abating.
00:13The Republicans failed to pass the budget extension bill until November 21st, due to
00:18lack of support from the Democrats.
00:20Republicans have a majority in the Senate with 53 seats out of 100, but 60 affirmed
00:26under the votes to pass the budget package. Federal agencies and about 750,000 workers
00:32have been without funding since Wednesday, when the U.S. fiscal year ended and Congress
00:37was unable to provisionally extend the budget. The Senate meeting this weekend is no longer
00:42likely due to the lack of agreement between the parties.
00:55Senator Johnson said the House is out again. Johnson and the House Republicans care more
01:02about protecting the Epstein files than protecting the American people.
01:08And the bottom line is, today we saw the Republicans run the same play and they got the same result.
01:16The question is, will they change course? The votes aren't there. It's clear from today's
01:22vote. The bottom line is, there's a simple way to end the shutdown. Come and sit down and negotiate
01:28a fair bill with us. Yes? Well, we just heard that-
01:33Twenty billion dollars to Argentina while our soybean farmers have literally had their entire market dry up.
01:40So what else has he done in response to our serious, serious request to have negotiations?
01:48He posts a deep fake video with sombreros in it and he thinks that's funny.
