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 lead
00:18to lower growth and higher unemployment rates for Americans. According to a new memo from
00:23the Council of Economic Advisers, the U.S. economy could lose $15 billion of growth
00:28domestic product each week. Every single week, the Democrat shutdown extends, with a month-long
00:34shutdown leading to an additional 43,000 unemployed people. Small businesses are likely to encounter
00:41delays in receiving federal loans. Mortgage applications will likely shrink. And just this
00:46morning, Business Roundtable, an association of more than 200 CEOs of Americans' leading companies,
00:52representing every sector of the U.S. economy, put out a statement urging Congress to pass
00:58the clean CR that will once again come before them in the Senate floor in just a few moments.
01:03Quote, A fully functioning government is essential for American businesses, workers and consumers,
01:09while policy makers 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? This madness must end. President Trump and
01:29Republicans are calling on Democrats to reopen the government immediately on behalf of the American
01:35public. All 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. On another matter,
01:47despite the Democrat shutdown, President Trump's efforts to make 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. We've already seen that President Trump successfully
02:02made D.C. safe again in only a few weeks. That same crime crackdown will continue to happen in
02:08cities across the country and is happening in Portland, Oregon. President Trump will end the radical
02:14left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The President has directed Secretary Hegseth to
02:20provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland and any ICE facilities under siege from
02:25attack by Antifa and other left-wing domestic terrorists. What's been allowed to happen in
02:31Portland, and we saw disturbing video footage of this last night, this is not peaceful protesting,
02:36this is left-wing anarchy that has been destroying this great American city for years,
02:41leaving police officers battered, citizens terrorized, and business properties damaged. Since early June
02:47alone, 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,
03:02repeatedly assault and dox officers, berate their law-abiding neighbors, and have even rolled out
03:08a guillotine in front of the ICE facility.
