1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Line from ball Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: Tony Kats today. Bring me a White House press briefing

3
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: and bring it to me with speed, Tony Kats, Tony

4
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Kats today, Good to be with you the press briefing.

5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: Everybody's already sitting in their seats. It looks like it

6
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: could start any second, but you never know.

7
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: You never know.

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt could take her sweet all time. They're gonna

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 2: talk shut down. I'm assuming they're going to talk about

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: this Trump RX thing with fixing prices and Pfizer offering

11
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: out these insane what we would consider me discounts. And

12
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: I assume there's going to be a conversation that has

13
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: had about the peace deal that was offered to Hamas

14
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: agreed to buy the Israelis, where the hostages would be

15
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: released of Palasadian prisoners would be released, IDF forces would withdraw,

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: there would be a force a government put in place.

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: Hamas would have to leave, they could get safe passage

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: to another country. And then Tony Blair is going to

19
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: be part of this, the former Prime Minister, which I can't.

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Imagine that working in a well at all.

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: And then we're hearing as reported by the Jerusalem Post

22
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: via the BBC, that Hamas.

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Is likely to reject the peace plan.

24
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 2: Because it ignores the interests of the Palestinian people.

25
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.

26
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: What's happening is the interest of Hamas is the destruction

27
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: of Israel and the killing of Jews.

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: It is what it is. It is what it is.

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: Let us not kid ourselves.

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: All the trolls and all the social media rules and

31
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: all those on college campuses, this is what is. Hamas

32
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: wants Jews dead, and then they want America destroyed. The

33
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: Israel is only first, it is not last. This is

34
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: what's happening. End of the discussion. So the people out

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: there who have been somehow deciding that Tucker Carlson and

36
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: Canda Owans are the light and the truth, and now

37
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: they hate Israel their next because Western civilization is next.

38
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: And every rational person who has ever read a book

39
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: knows that that is fact. What do I think of

40
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: the peace deal? Take the peace deal? I believe that

41
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: Hamas has to be destroyed. It's the only way. Can

42
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: you guarantee with one hundred percent certitude that you could

43
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: destroy Hamas? No, you can never guarantee anything. You can

44
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: only do things to the best of your ability. That's

45
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: all you can do. And I do not believe in

46
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: giving Hamas any room to operate. When you see the

47
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: bombing in Qatar. And what is this that I hear

48
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: that now we're signing executive orders on on Qatar, that

49
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: Trump signed an executive order giving protection to the Qataris.

50
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: I have no interest in protection for the Qataris. If

51
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: this is it assuring the security of the state of Qatar.

52
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Because Israel engaged the bombing of those members of Hamas

53
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: who were living there in the labs of luxury with

54
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: billions of dollars, directing terrorism against Israeli citizens, why would

55
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: you give the Quitaris anything? And why would you let

56
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: them donate to American universities. Oh, I don't like this

57
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: at all. I have no interest in assuring the security

58
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: of the state of Qatar. In an event, the United

59
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: States should regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty,

60
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: or critical infrastructure of the state of Quitar as a

61
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: threat to the peace and security.

62
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Of the United States Qatar and not Ukraine.

63
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: Just asking, I'm curious now exactly where this thing ranks

64
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: in the event of such an attack.

65
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: The United States shall.

66
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Take all lawful and appropriate measures, including diplomatic, economic, and

67
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: necessary military, to defend the interests of the United States

68
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: and the State of Qatar, and to restore peace and stability.

69
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: I do not know how the Maga folk deal with this,

70
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: because it would seem to me that this goes against

71
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: to what the Maga folk.

72
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Have always wanted. This would be contra.

73
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: To their philosophy of not getting entangled and not having

74
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: for forever wars and all the rest. That's what it

75
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: would seem like to me. No, I have no interest

76
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: in giving the Kataris any of this, But if it's

77
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: okay to give it to the Guitaris, why is it

78
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: not okay to give it to the Israelis.

79
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Wow. Now, I'll let the others deal with that.

80
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: It is up to the Israelis to decide what it

81
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: is that they want to do. I know what I

82
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: want for them, but they have to decide what they

83
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: want for them. I argued from the beginning it should

84
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: have been much more aggressive going in and clearing Hamas out.

85
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: The Israelis saw it differently, and how they could work

86
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: and maneuver to try and get back as many people

87
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: as possible because that was the goal and still is.

88
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: They want the bones back of those who die so

89
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: they can give them a proper funeral. There's a difference

90
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: between the Israelis and Hamas. So do I am I

91
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: bothered by a piece of deal Kush? No, It's up

92
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: to the Israelis to decide what to do. Do I

93
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: trust Amas? Absolutely not? Do you have to end the

94
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: financing from Iran?

95
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 3: Yes?

96
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: Does that mean you have to take out Hamas members

97
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: wherever they are, even if they're in Qatar?

98
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: Yes?

99
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: Is as Dave is talking about, is this because there's

100
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: a US bass in Qatar?

101
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: Maybe? Maybe that's what that is. So with that, go

102
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: about doing exactly what we said here.

103
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: Hamas surrenders, gives back all the hostages, and there's peace.

104
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: You're not gonna see me argue that you want to

105
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: end this. Great.

106
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: But do I think these rallies are going to stop

107
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: hunting Hamas members wherever they live?

108
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, no, no no no.

109
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 2: I don't think they will press briefing to begin soon.

110
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: I will bring it to you. Keep it here on

111

Speaker 2: Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today the White House

00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: then some is over there. It's over there. Just easy

118
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: to find Rob in the chat room talking about the

119
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: pete Hegseth meaning. And you know how the left was like,

120
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: notice no one cheered. Oh my gosh, the generals were

121
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: so silent. Rob says, that was a senior leaders conference,

122
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: not a football game.

123
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: I never cheered an event like that.

124
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: Stood an attention and appropriate clap politely at proper moments,

125
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: but never cheered.

126
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: It would have shown a gross lack of decorum. Interesting take.

127
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: Interesting take that maybe there would never be any cheering

128
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: from the generals. So I think the.

129
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 2: Larger scale point is the left's reaction to heg Seth's speech.

130
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: Is the story here glom onto anything? How dare you

131
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: actually want standards?

132
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: It's interesting some people are like, oh, no beards and

133
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: no fat guys, Well that means jd Vance is out. Yeah,

134
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: at this stage of the game, I would be two

135
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: because I have the beard and I am mirthful.

136
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: I think that's the play way to say that, not

137
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure, you're right, I'm not the guy

138
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: who you want on the wall. We have people who

139
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: can do that, and they are young enough and strong

140
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: enough to hold themselves to the standard, and so they should,

141
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: and so we should. But I'm the voter. That's what

142
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm voting for.

143
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: And if I were ever to be an elected official,

144
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: this is what I would vote for. And if I

145
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: was ever commander in chief. We don't put rules like

146
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: that on the commander in chief. As long as your

147
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: mind is working, we're fine. This is what made Joe

148
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: Biden such a problem. Oh he was thin, in fat

149
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: and in gray matter. But what we need, what we

150
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: need is the proper attitude. Trump at least has that,

151
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: and these lefties who are whining and crying they don't.

152
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: By the way, I would never refer to myself as portly.

153
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: Now it's a debate on you know, can you call

154
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: yourself fat? What's a nice way to say that? People

155
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: use all sorts of names. Do whatever you will. So

156
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: I make the assumption that we're going to hear about

157
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: the military, We're gonna hear about drug prices, we're gonna

158
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: hear about the peace deal from the President Trump and

159
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: agreed to buy Benjamintyaho, the Prime.

160
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Minister of Israel. We're gonna hear about.

161
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: The shutdown in the end, as we now see yet

162
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: another boat where Devercrats are saying no and saying no

163
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: to what, which is a really fascinating part of this.

164
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: They're saying no to it a continuing resolution before we

165
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: get to the next continuing resolution. Here now is Caroline

166
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: leve at the Press Secretary with the Vice President Jade Vance.

167
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: He'll deliver some remarks and take some questions. First, I

168
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 4: just want to share remarks of my own. Democrats in

169
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: Congress have officially shut down the United States government. House

170
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: Republicans passed a nonpartisan, clean piece of legislation to extend

171
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: current government funding until November twenty first, but nearly every

172
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 4: single Democrat senator voted against this bill. To be clear,

173
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: this was the exact same bill that Democrats approved six

174
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: short months ago in March, just adjusted for inflation. This

175
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 4: is the same kind of clean funding bill that Democrats

176
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 4: passed thirteen separate times when they held the Jordy during

177
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 4: Joe Biden's administration. So the American people woke up this

178
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 4: morning and asked the obvious question, why is the government

179
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 4: shut down right now? The answer is pure partisan politics

180
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 4: being played by.

181
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 5: The Democrat Party.

182
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: The Democrats shut down the government because President Trump and

183
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: the Republicans will not force American taxpayers to pay for

184
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 4: free health care for illegal aliens. America is thirty seven

185
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: trillion dollars in debt. We cannot afford to provide taxpayer

186
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 4: funded free healthcare to illegals who broke the.

187
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 5: Law to enter our country. To put this all into.

188
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 4: Perspective, the Democrats refuse to keep the government open over

189
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: healthcare to illegal aliens and now now have jeopardized critical

190
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: health care programs for American citizens. Instead, the Women, Infants,

191
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: and Children Program, community Health center funding, Medicare, treatment options,

192
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 4: and other health programs are now all at risk because

193
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 4: of the Democrats rejecting the clean cr.

194
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: Were you expecting anything else from Caroline Levett?

195
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: This is exactly the approach the White House is going

196
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: to take, the only approach to the White House is

197
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: going to take, and it is absolutely the approach that

198
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 2: is resonating in terms of.

199
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,479
Speaker 1: Who is feeling the heats over this shutdown.

200
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: Yes, he took a bold and massively popular action to

201
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 4: improve our healthcare system. He announced the first agreement with

202
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: a major pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, to lower drug costs for Americans.

203
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 4: This is a historical achievement long sought by past Democrat

204
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 4: presidents that only President Trump was able to get done. Also, yesterday,

205
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: while the Democrats were whining about health care for illegal aliens,

206
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: President Trump signed a powerful executive order to supercharge American

207
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: AI innovation in unlocked cures for pediatric cancer patients in

208
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: the United States. While President Trump took action to lower

209
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: drug prices and improve the lives and the care of

210
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: American children with cancer. Again, Democrats are fighting to give

211
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: health care benefits to illegal aliens.

212
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: The Trump administration having more time.

213
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: Care costs in advancing policies that will save American lives.

214
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: But right now, we need to keep the government open

215
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: and funded, and individuals and organizations across the political spectrum

216
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 4: across the country agree with the Trump administration and Republicans.

217
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: The labor union leader the Teamsters, Sean O'Brien sent a

218
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 4: very blunt message to Democrats over their destructive antics. He said,

219
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 4: American workers are not bargaining chips. Senators need to stop

220
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: screwing around and pass the House past clean short term

221
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: funding bill.

222
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 5: The US Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest.

223
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: Business organization, called to immediately pass the Republican clean cr saying, quote,

224
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: shutdowns are harmful to the economy, the American people, and

225
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 4: our national security. And even Democrat Senators Cortes, Masto and

226
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: Fetterman acknowledged that their party is betraying the American people

227
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: with this costly and chaotic Democrats shutdown.

228
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 5: Enough is enough.

229
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 4: Democrats need to stop sabotaging our country and whole the

230
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 4: American people hostage in the country.

231
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: Democrats need to do their jobs.

232
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: The American people want the government reopened, and this has

233
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: proven in a New York Times poll showing that two

234
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: and three Americans say the government should not be shut

235
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: down by the Democrats, even if their absurd demands are

236
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 4: not met.

237
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: That poll is part of the story, as we've been

238
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: discussing it that Democrats have lost this pr fights they have.

239
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: Now we're going to hear from the Vice President on this.

240
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: Subject and encourage them to reopen the government. That's what

241
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 4: President Trump and the Vice President want to do. And

242
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 4: with that, I will turn it over to our great

243
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: Vice President Jade Vance.

244
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 6: Great well, thank you, Carolina, and good afternoon to everybody,

245
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 6: and good afternoon to everybody who's watching at home. It's

246
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 6: a tough act to follow, but let me just say

247
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 6: a few things. Then I'll take a few questions. Number one,

248
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 6: Democrats say that they care a lot about lowering healthcare costs,

249
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 6: and yet when the President took a stork action to

250
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 6: work with the drug companies to lower prescription drug prices,

251
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 6: the Democrats did nothing to help us. In fact, we

252
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 6: would have loved to have the Democrats helping us, but

253
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 6: they didn't. They talk about doing something, they don't actually

254
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 6: do the hard work of making it happen. What they

255
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 6: have done instead is to shut down the government because

256
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 6: we won't give billions of dollars to health care funding

257
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 6: for illegal aliens. That is what has actually happened to

258
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 6: the American people who are watching. The reason your government

259
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 6: is shut down at this very minute is because despite

260
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: the fact that the overwhelming majority of Congressional Republicans and

261
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 6: even a few moderate Democrats supported opening the government, the

262
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 6: Chuck Schumer, AOC wing of the Democratic Party, shut down

263
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 6: the government because they said to us, we will open

264
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 6: the government, but only if you give billions of dollars

265
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 6: of funding for health care for illegal aliens. That's a

266
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 6: ridiculous proposition. Let me say two other quick things, and

267
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 6: then again I'll take some questions. Number one, we all

268
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 6: understand that Democrats and Republicans have policy disagreements.

269
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Their Democrats want to do things.

270
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 6: Look when Chuck Schumer and a Keen Jeffreys were in

271
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 6: here a couple of days ago, they made some suggestions

272
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 6: that the President was more than happy to say, yes,

273
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 6: let's sit down and talk how we can solve the

274
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 6: healthcare crisis that we inherited from the Biden administration. But

275
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 6: it's one thing to say that we should solve the

276
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 6: healthcare crisis for Americans. It's another thing to say that

277
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 6: we're going to shut down the government unless we give

278
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 6: the Democrats every single thing that they want, which is

279
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 6: Caroline says, includes giving billions of dollars a tax payer

280
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 6: funding for health care for illegal migrants.

281
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous.

282
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: You don't have policy disagreements that serve as the basis

283
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 6: for a government shutdown. Let's have the conversation about how

284
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 6: to fix American healthcare, about how to make health care

285
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 6: more accessible.

286
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: As the President showed, he's.

287
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 6: More than willing to act on behalf of the American

288
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 6: people for this very reason. What you don't do is

289
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 6: say unless you do exactly what we want to do

290
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 6: is Congressional Democrats, we're taking hostage. And the hostage, it

291
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 6: turns out, is critical essential services that the American people need.

292
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: Caroline talked about some of it. Let me talk about

293
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: some more.

294
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 6: Our troops are not getting paid starting today because of

295
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 6: the Chuck Chumber wing of the Democratic Party. We have

296
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 6: people who require food assistants, low income Americans who require

297
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 6: food assistants, who will not get it unless we reopen

298
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 6: the government. Thanks to Chuck Schumer and his wing of

299
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 6: the Democratic Party, we have flood insurance. As we start

300
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 6: hurricane season in the southeastern part of our country, that

301
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 6: flood insurance is going to disappear because of Chuck Schumer

302
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 6: and the far left of the Democratic Party.

303
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: We need to reopen the government.

304
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 6: Let's fix America's problems, let's work together to solve them,

305
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 6: but let's reopen the government before we have our.

306
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: Negotiation about health care policy.

307
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 6: That's what the American people demand, and that's certainly what

308
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 6: the President of the United States wants.

309
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: What is very interesting here from the Vice president is

310
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: he's willing to agree to or work on some democratic

311
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: points regarding healthcare.

312
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: Now.

313
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: I said the other day, one of the things you

314
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: can see President Trump do is say, yeah, let's expand

315
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 2: these tax threats for Obamacare. Let's expand them this big

316
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: so he can steal the issue from them. That's a

317
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: very Trump thing to do. We said it right here,

318
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: and that could be part of it. But let me

319
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: tell you for Trump the dictator, now, hearing from j.

320
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: D Vance, the Vice President, that oh yeah, he's like, yeah,

321
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: there's some things we can work on, let's agree to

322
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: the sear and let's go do that really blows a

323
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: hole in the whole Trump dictator messaging that the left

324
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: is so desperate to put out There.

325
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 6: Is because Chuck Schumer is listening to the far left

326
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 6: radicals in his own party because he's terrified of a

327
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 6: primary challenge. So I'd invite Chuck Schumer to jog the

328
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 6: moderate Democrats and fifty two Senate Republicans do the right thing,

329
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 6: open up the people's government, and then let's fix healthcare

330
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 6: policy for the American people.

331
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: Question. So much of this is about alexandersports as in

332
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: a primary challenge.

333
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 3: Okay, President, there's two key Democrat lives I would like

334
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: you to get you gone to see if you can address.

335
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: The first season is that you're seeing a number of

336
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: top Democrat leaders and Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer.

337
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: To King Jeffries claim.

338
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 3: That it is a Republican shutdown caused by Trump. The

339
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: second days is that they're out there now claiming that

340
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 3: they don't want to give healthcare to illegal amidence. Can

341
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: you address both of those last from the.

342
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 6: Democrat art Yeah, so on the point that it's a

343
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 6: Republican shutdown, look, it's obviously democratic shutdown. Just look at

344
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 6: the vote totals in the House, look at the vote

345
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 6: totals in the Senate, and look at the president. The

346
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 6: United States own action and conduct throughout the crisis.

347
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: We're going to hear more from a Vice President JD.

Speaker 6: Much but there are a lot of critical things the

353
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 6: federal government does that absolutely all of us would agree

354
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 6: need to do.

355
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Our troops need to get paid.

356
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 6: Our air traffic controllers need to make sure that people

357
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 6: are flying safely and on time.

358
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: We need low income.

359
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 6: People to be able to access the food services that

360
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 6: are provided by the federal government.

361
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: There are critical things that need to be saved.

362
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 6: We're going to do everything that we can over the

363
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 6: coming weeks if a shutdown last that long, to ensure

364
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 6: that people get the essential services that they need.

365
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: Despite Jade Advance, Vice President of the United States, speaking

366
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: there at the White House Press briefing standing next to

367
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt Tony Katz, Tony Katz today indications that they.

368
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: Don't know when the shutdown is going to end.

369
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: If it lasts, it lasts, but very clear that it's

370
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer worried about a primary challenge.

371
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: From Acostio Cortes.

372
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: That's why he has taken this stance about a shutdown,

373
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 2: this idea of how they want to provide dollars and

374
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 2: opportunities for legal immigrants and in healthcare spending. That the

375
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: White House is simply saying no, two Republicans are saying

376
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: no too. We'll take it back to the press briefing

377
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 2: as we are in day one of the shutdown.

378
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: I hope you have your shutdown, Bourbon. Let's get back

379
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: to it.

380
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 6: We're not targeting federal agencies based on politics. We're targeting

381
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: the people's government so that it is much as possible

382
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 6: of the essential services can continue to function. That is

383
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 6: the question the President has asked. The entire government is

384
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 6: fundamentally okay. We're a shutdown. That causes some problems. The

385
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 6: troops aren't getting paid. There's nothing that we can do

386
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 6: about that while the government is shut down. But there

387
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 6: are essential services that we want to make sure as

388
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 6: much as possible they still continue to function. That is

389
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 6: the principle that's driving us forward during the shutdown. It's

390
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 6: going to be continue to be the principle that drives

391
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 6: us forward. But let's be honest. If this thing drags

392
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 6: on for another few days, or god forbid, another few weeks,

393
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 6: we are going to have to lay people off.

394
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: We're going to have to save money in.

395
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 6: Some places so the essential services don't get turned off

396
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 6: in other places. That is the reality of the government

397
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 6: shutdown that Chuck Schuman Democrats have foisted upon the administration.

398
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 5: Going to be democrats, he says, want to be democrats.

399
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 7: You've laid out a lot of the pay and problems

400
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 7: that come with a democratic shutdown, and yet in the

401
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 7: Oble Office yesterday the President said that a lot of.

402
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: Them who could come from a shutdown.

403
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 7: So swear that circle is which is a Democratic caused

404
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 7: crisis or a Republican opportunity for reform.

405
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 6: Well, I think all the President is saying, phil is

406
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 6: that he wants to make sure the American people's government

407
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 6: functions as well as it can despite the fact that

408
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 6: we're gonna shut down. We're gonna have to make things work,

409
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 6: and that means that we're gonna have to triosh them

410
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 6: certain things. That means certain people are gonna have to

411
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 6: get laid off, and we're going to try to make

412
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 6: sure that the American people suffer as little as possible

413
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 6: from the shutdown. That's what the President is saying, is that, yes,

414
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 6: this is a bad thing. Obviously the President is trying

415
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 6: to reopen the government, but we're gonna make things work

416
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 6: as well as we possibly can.

417
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: Give.

418
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 2: What the President is also saying is Okay, Democrats, you

419
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: shut this down over nonsense. So what we're now saying

420
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: is we're going to fire people left and right because

421
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: of this shutdown, and when the government reopens back up,

422
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 2: we're going to hire our people in those positions, and

423
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: you are going to lose your stronghold on all these

424
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: progresses and Democrats in all of these positions that I

425
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: haven't been able to remove them from. You open the door.

426
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: Everything has a consequence. All of this is politics one

427
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: oh one. Nothing here is new or different or even strange.

428
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: You did this, now.

429
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: You deal with this. Two things can be true the

430
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: same time. Back to the press briefing.

431
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 6: A mess of healthcare systems in the Biden administration. It's

432
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 6: why the President has worked so hard on the most

433
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 6: Favored Nation status for prescription drugs. It's why we care

434
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 6: so much about lowering the costs of prescriptions, and why

435
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 6: we're doing everything else. We're willing to have that conversation,

436
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 6: but I think it's important to bracket that healthcare policy

437
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 6: conversation because it's separate from the government shutdown. We think

438
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 6: that we can open the government and then have the

439
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 6: conversation about what best health care policy to fit the

440
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 6: needs of the American people. That's all we're trying to do.

441
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 6: That's all we're trying to accomplish. We've got to reopen

442
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 6: the government first. Now, Caroline, I don't know.

443
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: How you do this, how you actually choose people.

444
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 6: Because I don't know ninety percent of names in here.

445
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: Is it just who's the best dressed? Okay, I really

446
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: like your shirt. Go ahead, thank you. It's your vice president.

447
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: You are president of the Senate.

448
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: Can you talk about what you're doing, what the administration

449
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: is doing to try to get other Senate Democrats to vote.

450
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 6: To open the government, or the question I know one

451
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 6: of our colleagues, democratic and Republicans. I talked to a

452
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 6: number of them last night. The President, of course, is

453
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 6: talking to them as well. I think there really are

454
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 6: two categories of demands that I've seen privately from Congressional Democrats.

455
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 6: I think, on the one hand, those who are negotiating

456
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 6: in good faith are saying, look, we just want to

457
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 6: make sure that we're able to have a conversation with

458
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 6: the administration about some of the critical needs that we

459
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 6: see that need to get fixed over the next few months.

460
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 6: We recognize it's kind of absurd, and a lot of

461
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 6: them will admit in private that it's kind of absurd

462
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 6: to shut down the people's government over these disagreements, but

463
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: just agree to negotiate with us in good faith on

464
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 6: these issues, and of.

465
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: Course we're having that conversation with them.

466
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 6: Then there's another category people who say, give us everything

467
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 6: we want are going to keep the government shut down.

468
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 6: We just write those people off because they're not negotiating in.

469
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Good faith, and frankly, we don't need them.

470
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 6: We've already got three more Democrats last night than I

471
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 6: thought we would get, and I think it's because they

472
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 6: recognize the illogic of the position of taking the entire

473
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 6: American economy hostage, because they don't get their policy priorities.

474
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 6: So three moderate Democrats only fifty two Republicans last night.

475
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 6: We need five more in order to reopen the government.

476
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 6: And that's really where we're going.

477
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: To focus is how to get those five additional Democrats.

478
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: They could make their own deals to get their own

479
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: things out of Trump.

480
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 3: Their plans to meet Democratic leaders again.

481
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 2: You understand that, right there are Democrats who can make

482
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: deals with Trump to get the vote to end the shutdown.

483
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: The first rule of Trumpism as Trump wins. The second

484
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 2: rule of trump Ism is that a deal can always

485
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: be made as long as it adheres to the first

486
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 2: rule of trump Ism.

487
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: So don't be surprised if that happens, the breaking of Schumer.

488
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: You think he's been an effective leader for the Democrats.

489
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: Maybe this is the way Democrats get a better leader.

490
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 6: And it's joking and we're having a good time. You

491
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 6: can negotiate in good faith while also poking a little

492
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 6: bit of fun at some of the absurdities of the Democrats' positions,

493
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 6: and even you know, poking some fun at the absurdity

494
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 6: of the Democrats themselves. I mean, I'll tell Hakeem Jeffries

495
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 6: right now, I make this solemn promise to you that

496
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 6: if you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes

497
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 6: will stop. And I talked to the President of the

498
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 6: United States about that. Now to your first question, are

499
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 6: we negotiating one on one? Are we negotiating in groups? Look,

500
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 6: I will go to the US capital right now and

501
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 6: meet with Chuck Schumer or any Senate Democrat if it

502
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 6: helps us reopen the government. Most of the conversations my experience,

503
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 6: at least, have been one off. We're also, of course,

504
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 6: relying on some of our Senate Republican colleagues who have

505
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 6: good relationships across the aisle. We're going to do whatever

506
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 6: we have to do, is the answer. And I think

507
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 6: it's tough to predict what shape this negotiation is going

508
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 6: to take over the next few months, but I feel

509
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 6: good about the fact that Democrats already realize privately the

510
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 6: fundamental irrationality of their position. I hope that they're going

511
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 6: to publicly acknowledge it and reopen the government. Deny in

512
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 6: the back yut, Mister Vice President, you responded to a

513
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 6: post on x Chuck Schumer on the House floor back

514
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 6: in nineteen ninety.

515
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: Six, railing against the legal immigrants receiving taxpayer funded benefits.

516
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: You said, Chuck Schumer once recognized that it was disastrous

517
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 4: to give the legal aliens rewards for breaking law.

518
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 3: Now he wants to shut down the government unless were

519
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 3: reward a little aliens for breaking the law.

520
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: Why has Chuck Schumer changed his stance?

521
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 6: You know, that's a good question. That's actually it's a

522
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 6: very tough question.

523
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: Asking me to get in the.

524
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 6: Head of Chuck Schumer is not a place I particularly

525
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 6: want to be. But my basic read on it is

526
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 6: that the entire Democratic Party, the political leadership, not not

527
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 6: every Democrat nationwide, but the political leadership of their party,

528
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 6: has got it into their heads that the only way

529
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 6: to be compassionate is to be compassionate to illegal aliens

530
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 6: rather than American citizens. If you go back to what

531
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 6: Bill Clinton was saying, even Barack Obama in some cases,

532
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 6: what he was saying about illegal immigration ten, fifteen, twenty

533
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 6: years ago, you would put them on the MAGA right

534
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 6: based purely on their rhetoric around illegal immigration. So I

535
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 6: don't know why they've gone so far to the left.

536
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 6: I think it's bad for the country. I think it's

537
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 6: bad for them politically.

538
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely factual.

539
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: When you go back and listen to Democrats from the nineties,

540
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: from the early two thousands, they sound like you and me.

541
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: Change is because they put forth this monster that must

542
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: be fed, and this monster's progressivism, whether it be the

543
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 2: university student or the people that they try to bring in,

544
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: and the more radical people they've put on MSNBC, CNN

545
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: and all the rest put within the pages of the

546
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: New York Times, etc. That have built out this machine

547
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: of progressivism that has to be fed the most progressive policies.

548
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: So the Democrat is completely squosen out. You know, people

549
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: in your life for a Democrats, they're not this, they're Democrats,

550
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: but they have been so marginalized and so silenced, and

551
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: if they should speak out, the abuse that comes to

552
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: them is so massive, massive.

553
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: That they say nothing.

554
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: This has been a turn over twenty five years, a

555
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: generation and a half. And the answer is they created

556
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: the problem that they cannot contain, and it's now a

557
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: problem for all Americans.

558
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: Vice President, so I get to do what I want

559
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: to do.

560
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 6: But I think Pete's trying to re implement high standards

561
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 6: and that's a very good thing.

562
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: On the sobrero thing.

563
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 6: I mean, Keem Jeffrey said it was a racist and

564
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 6: I know that he said that, and I honestly don't

565
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 6: even know what that means. Is he a Mexican American

566
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 6: that is offended by having a sombrero meme? I saw

567
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 6: one of the major TV stations put the meme up

568
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 6: and then say this is AI generated and he had

569
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 6: like the curly animated mustache too. It's like, do the

570
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 6: American people do you really not realize the American people

571
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 6: recognize that he did not actually come to the White

572
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 6: House wearing a sombrero and a black curly animation mustache, Like,

573
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 6: give the country a little bit of credit. We're all

574
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 6: trying to do a very important job for the American people.

575
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 6: The President of the United States likes to have a

576
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 6: little bit of fun when he's doing it, and I

577
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 6: think that's okay. I'll take one work.

578
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: I like fun. But even I I just the memes.

579
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't need it. I just need the work done.

580
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: It's all I need. That's it.

581
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 5: Sub workers and not just furlough them by. Is this

582
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: shutdown any different?

583
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 6: So we have made any final decisions about what we're

584
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 6: going to do with certain workers. What we're saying is

585
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 6: that we might have to take extraordinary steps, especially the

586
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 6: longer this goes on. We're going to have to take

587
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 6: extraordinary measures to ensure that people's government operate again, not perfectly,

588
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 6: because it's not going to operate perfectly in the midst

589
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 6: of a shutdown, but operate as well as it possibly can.

590
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 6: And I think that the Democrats, if they're so worried

591
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 6: about the effect this is having on the American people,

592
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 6: and they should be what they should do is reopen

593
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 6: the government, not complain about how we respond to the

594
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 6: fact that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have shut down

595
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 6: the government in the first place.

596
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: So the Vice President is heading out. Caroline Levitt will

597
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: continue the press a braving And as for that meme,

598
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: it was Schumer and Kim Jeoffrey speaking after the meeting

599
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: with President Trump, and there they put Hakim joffreies in

600
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: a sombrero with the black handlebar and mustache.

601
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: And I'm just not a meme guy. We'll have more

602
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: of the press conference coming up. Keep it right here.

603
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz. Tony Kats today.

604
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 5: Event trillion dollars trillion with a tee in debt.

605
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 4: And not only is the president effectively utilizing tariffs to

606
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 4: bring in massive amounts of revenue, and there's billions of

607
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 4: dollars coming in every month. I know you know that

608
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 4: even because you cover it on CNBC quite well. So

609
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 4: the president is focused on how can the United States

610
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: government make more money? How can we make our country

611
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 4: wealthy and rich again? And cutting some of these unique

612
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 4: creative deals with companies around the world and here at

613
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 4: home is just one way the president is seeking to

614
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: do that.

615
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: And I know, yeah, I fundamentally disagree with that, because

616
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: the country becomes rich when the people are wealthy and

617
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: the people can grow, and buying into companies is not

618
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: something government should be doing.

619
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: Tony Katz Tony Kats today, guys could be with you.

620
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: What's going on? The press briefing continues.

621
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: We heard from the Vice President Jadie Vance about the shutdown.

622
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: You're now hearing the press ask more questions of Caroline Levitt,

623
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: the Press Secretary, who went through some of the standard

624
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: points that take place in any shutdowns. Stay one of

625
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: the shutdown, and Democrats still not voting for the continuing resolution,

626
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: which only gets us through November twenty first, it's a

627
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 2: continuing resolution on a continuing resolution. That's all we're talking

628
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: about here. It's madness from beginning to end. And going

629
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: through those talking points of here the military members who

630
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: won't be paid, here's law enforcement members don't be paid.

631
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: Here's real people's lives who are affected. Those are absolutely

632
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: the talking points to take place in any shutdown. We

633
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: would have heard them from Democrats in the White House.

634
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: We heard from other Republicans from President Trump and his

635
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: team in the White House. It's all very very true.

636
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: But it's up to Congress to get this done. Is

637
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: this going to lead to pressure on Schumer? I think

638
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: Democrats are going to lead to pressure on schumeran and

639
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 2: I said something before that believe it's very true. Deals

640
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: can be cut with specific Democrats, and Schumer could be

641
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: out of a leadership job. This can be just as

642
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: damaging as him not engaging any stopping of a continuing

643
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: resolution before.

644
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: He's just not a wartime consiquely air.

645
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the strength, he doesn't have the power,

646
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: he doesn't have the capability. He needs a lot of

647
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: things to be on his side, and nothing's been on

648
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: his side and he has not been able to adapt.

649
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: The neither is that King Jeffries in the House. Back

650
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: to Caroline Levitt and this press briefing, White House is.

651
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: Looking for a workforce.

652
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 5: I don't have a specific percentage for.

653
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: You are about China?

654
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 7: If I could so, China has not made one soybean

655
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 7: purchase this year. But I talked to a farmer yesterday

656
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 7: who has about a thousand acres in Iowas that this

657
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 7: is just just killing her. Now the President has been

658
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 7: talking to President She could China not buying agriculture affect

659
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 7: a possible.

660
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: Meeting with the President? Would he not meet?

661
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 7: Is she because China's refused to buy soybeans from the US.

662
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 4: Look, I don't want to speak for the president and

663
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 4: make a determination on that from this podium.

664
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 5: But what I can tell you is that.

665
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 4: Supporting America's farmers and doing what's best for them is

666
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 4: at the top of the President's priority list, and it's

667
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 4: at the top of the list for this administration right now.

668
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 4: There have been several very high level meetings on this

669
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 4: very topic. We want to help our farm and we're

670
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 4: exploring the best ways to do that, and I would

671
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 4: anticipate there will be more to come on.

672
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: This story about Jijinping and China is really connected in

673
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: an interesting way to a story about Argentina and how

674
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: China has been working South America to produce more soybeans

675
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't have the dependence on the United States.

676
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: Of course, China.

677
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 2: A big part of their diet is hogs and feeding

678
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: their people, and the soybeans are utilized to feed the hogs.

679
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: So when they're not buying from US and they're able

680
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: to get it from other people, of course, it hurts

681
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: our farmers without question. But there's a question about these

682
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: swaps and these credit lines that truckt Gentina to help

683
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: them with their economy. But now you're going to open

684
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 2: up swaps and economic opportunities for them where they can

685
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: continue to engage sales to China soybeans and other things,

686
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: never mind other countries in South America. So is that

687
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: something you do if China's applying a pressure there where

688
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 2: they've been buying land and doing other things. So there's

689
00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 2: this real geopolitical conversation and connection point between a a

690
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 2: bunch of these things going on and the farmer and

691
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: we're all over the Midwest is absolutely affected. And so

692
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: when you see nations saying they're going to buy billions

693
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: of dollars worth of agricultural products in trade deals, saying

694
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 2: it is meaningless, doing it matters. And when it comes

695
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: to China, whether it's about soybeans or anything else, they

696
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: are a market. And if we're going to say we're

697
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: not worried about them as a market, that's fine. We

698
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 2: have to find other markets. This is not a small

699
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: subject by any stretch. And it's China going to utilize

700
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: soybean purchases or any agricultural purchases as a way to

701
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: try and get the US to stand down from protecting

702
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: Taiwan if they try to take time.

703
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: On them back by force. It's a whole another part

704
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: of this.

705
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 2: I've got much more to get to, including how Republicans

706
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: and Democrats are responding to the shutdown. Keep it here,
