00:00We are now approaching the longest shutdown in American history.

00:04Democrats' fault.

00:05Under your presidency, we're talking about more than a million federal workers who are not getting a paycheck,

00:11including our air traffic controllers.

00:13You see there's traffic snarls out at the airports now.

00:16This weekend, food aid for more than 42 million Americans is set to expire.

00:22What are you doing as president to end the shutdown?

00:26Well, what we're doing is we keep voting.

00:28I mean, the Republicans are voting almost unanimously to end it, and the Democrats keep voting against ending it.

00:35You know, they've never had this.

00:36This has happened like 18 times before.

00:38The Democrats always voted for an extension, always saying, give us an extension.

00:43We'll work it out.

00:44They've lost their way.

00:45They've become crazed lunatics.

00:48And all they have to do, Nora, is say, let's vote.

00:52Senate Democrats say they will vote to reopen the government if Republicans agree to extend subsidies

00:58for over 20 million Americans who use Obamacare for their health insurance.

01:05Obamacare is terrible.

01:07It's bad health care at far too high a price.

01:10We should fix that.

01:11We should fix it.

01:12And we can fix it with the Democrats.

01:15All they have to do is let the country open, and we'll fix it.

01:18They have to let the country open, and I'll sit down with the Democrats, and we'll fix it.

01:23But they have to let the country.

01:25And you know what they have to do?

01:26All they have to do is raise five hands.

01:28We don't need all of them.

01:28But so you're saying your plan is to tell the Democrats to vote to end the shutdown.

01:34Correct.

01:34Very simple.

01:35And that you will put forward a health care plan?

01:38No.

01:38We will work on fixing the bad health care that we have right now.

01:41We have terrible health care at too expensive for the people.

01:44Not for the government, for the people.

01:46But, Mr. President, with all due respect, you've been talking about fixing the health care insurance

01:50since 2015.

01:51Sure, and you can't do it because of the Democrats.

01:52But since 2015, you've said you'd fix it.

01:54I've been talking about it for a long time.

01:55We almost did it.

01:56We were one vote short.

01:57We would have had great health care.

01:59That was in 2017 when Senate Republicans failed by one vote

02:04to partially repeal Obamacare.

02:07We can make it much less expensive for people and give them much better health care.

02:12But where is that plan?

02:12And I'd be willing to work with the Democrats on it.

02:15The problem is they want to give money to prisoners, to drug dealers,

02:20to all these millions of people that were allowed to come in with an open border from Biden,

02:26and nobody can do that.

02:27Not one Republican would ever do that.

02:30My understanding is if those health care subsidies are not extended,

02:34premiums will double for many of the people that are on it.

02:37And I was looking into it.

02:38Three quarters of these people will see their health care premiums double.

02:42Live in states where you won in the last election.

02:46I mean, even here in Florida has the highest number of residents on Obamacare in the country.

02:51And I'm saying we can fix it, Nora.

02:53All right.
