1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Business is large and small, and many parts of America

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,399
Speaker 1: is still on lockdown due to the virus. The unemployment

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: rate horrific in some states. Democrat governors appear to be

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: doing everything they can to make the shutdown last as

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: long as possible, while at the same time begging for

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: a federal bailout to fix their budgets, even though their

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: states have been mismanaged for decades. Now, four Democrats senators,

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: including Amy Klobisher and Folca Hottas, are trying to use

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: the economic shutdown as an excuse to stick it to business.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: The Democrats senators wrote a letter to the FED Chairman

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: Jerome Powell and the Treasury Secretary Steve Manuchin. Senators want

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: Powell and Manucha to use their broad authority and discretion

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: to stop big companies that got bailout money from engaging

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: in mergers and acquisitions. They claim that this anti business,

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: anti capitalist maneuver mergers is going to help the little guy.

16
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: I've given the long lockdown. A whole lot of businesses

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: are in deep doo doo, and the only way some

18
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: of them may be able to stay afloat is to

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: merge with another bigger company. The last thing American business

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: owners need right now is a bunch of Democrats who

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: don't know the first thing about meeting a payroll, telling

22
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: them what they can and can't do as they try

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: to survive.
