00:00The economic consequences of this shutdown are piling up every day.
00:04Policymakers, markets, and even the Federal Reserve are flying blind at a key juncture
00:09because BLS and BEA data are on hold until the government reopens.
00:14Democrats shutting down the federal government to give health care to illegal aliens could
00:18lead to lower growth and higher unemployment rates for Americans.
00:22According to a new memo from the Council of Economic Advisers,
00:25the U.S. economy could lose $15 billion of growth domestic product each week.
00:31Every single week, the Democrat shutdown extends,
00:33with a month-long shutdown leading to an additional 43,000 unemployed people.
00:39Small businesses are likely to encounter delays in receiving federal loans.
00:43Mortgage applications will likely shrink.
00:45And just this morning, Business Roundtable, an association of more than 200 CEOs of
00:50Americans' leading companies representing every sector of the U.S. economy, put out a statement
00:56urging Congress to pass the clean CR that will once again come before them in the Senate floor
01:02in just a few moments.
01:03Quote,
01:04A fully functioning government is essential for American businesses, workers, and consumers,
01:09while policymakers continue working on a full-year funding package and other pressing issues.
01:15Again, that is a quote from the Business Roundtable.
01:18What's clear is that the Democrats' actions account to an intentional sabotage of our country
01:23and our people by shutting down our government.
01:26This madness must end.
01:28President Trump and Republicans are calling on Democrats to reopen the government immediately
01:34on behalf of the American public.
01:36All we need are five Democrat Senators to do the right thing and to stop this shutdown.
01:42Call your Democrat Senator and tell them to vote YES to reopen the government.
01:46On another matter, despite the Democrats' shutdown, President Trump's efforts to
01:50make America safe again continue.
01:52President Trump believes that American cities should be the safest places on Earth,
01:57and he is committed to making this a reality.
02:00We've already seen that President Trump successfully made D.C. safe again in only a few weeks.
02:05That same crime crackdown will continue to happen in cities across the country
02:09and is happening in Portland, Oregon.
02:11President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all.
02:17The President has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged
02:23Portland and any ICE facilities under siege from attack by Antifa and other left-wing domestic terrorists.
02:29What's been allowed to happen in Portland, and we saw disturbing video footage of this last night,
02:34this is not peaceful protesting, this is left-wing anarchy that has been destroying this great American
02:40city for years, leaving police officers battered, citizens terrorized and business properties damaged.
02:47Since early June alone, Antifa terrorists have laid siege to the ICE field office in South Portland.
02:52These radical left-wing lunatics have violently breached the ICE facility by using a stop sign
02:57as a battering ram, hurled explosives and other projectiles at law enforcement, repeatedly assault
03:03and dox officers, berate their law-abiding neighbors, and have even rolled out a guillotine
03:09in front of the ICE facility.
