Government Shutdown Negotiations

Shirish Date7min

Speaker 1

00:01

Government shutdown, Vice President's entire team here will continue to work and talk to members on the Hill to try and come to a resolution to try to encourage Democrats.

Speaker 2

00:22

Yes, we yesterday, the vice president by your side, expressed this optimism. Shut down, short shutdown. Do you express share that optimism? Does the President

Unknown Speaker

00:33

share that?

Speaker 1

00:34

I do. I think we all that's our hope and that's our expectation. We know Democrats know they are doing the wrong thing by shutting the government down. You can see it when they're answering questions. You can hear it in their voice. There is zero good reason for them to vote to shut the government down right now. They are doing it for political reasons. They are doing it because they want to give taxpayer funded health care benefits to illegal aliens, which is something the American people resoundingly objected ahead of the election last year. That's why they re elected President Trump in a large corner, and so Democrats know what the right thing to do is when it's to reopen.

Unknown Speaker

01:18

I'm sorry,

Unknown Speaker

01:20

percent? That's probably not a

Unknown Speaker

01:25

question for me to answer. I think that's

Speaker 3

01:27

a question for healthcare professionals and legal experts. Are you understand why I'm Democrats benefits against the law?

Speaker 1

01:42

I mean, it. Do you think that illegal aliens should receive Medicaid benefits, Medicaid benefits that go to the most vulnerable people in our country, Medicaid benefits that were designed to help low income families and Americans in our country? But what the Biden administration did is they allowed 10s of millions of illegal aliens from all over the world come into our country, yes, and they paroled them into the system. And you cover immigration, you know Well, it was a complete abuse of our immigration system. And they slapped a band aid on these illegals. They called it temporary protective status, and then they allowed those illegals from all over the world to get free benefits. And you know, we would like free benefits to hard working Americans who work their butts off every day, who are living paycheck to paycheck because of the Biden induced inflation crisis, and there were wait higher wait times at hospitals under the Biden administration, we saw these illegals committing crimes all over our country, and they're getting things for free that is fundamentally unfair in this administration. Should we are

Unknown Speaker

the United States? And that's

Unknown Speaker

02:57

what he believes on

Unknown Speaker

03:00

this calendar. That's

Speaker 1

03:03

what follow up on, that if there is this one provision democratically offer on the White House disagrees with, what's distracting from negotiating over other provisions where there may be wanted to negotiate, we just want to keep the government open the Republican and the Trump White House position since the very beginning. We wanted to pass a clean continuing resolution. We still do to keep the government open and then we can negotiate on all of these policy matters. It's the Democrats who injected harvest in politics into keeping the government in the business of America. They see an opportunity to gain some leverage and have a negotiation. Why is it okay? Phenomenal. Democrats have voted for the resolution that Republicans introduced 13 times in the past. 13 times they voted for it just recently, and now, all of a sudden, they are shutting the government down, and they are holding our country hostage over a partisan political matter that the vast majority of the country disagrees with, and they know it's so unpopular that they are now running away from it. I saw some senators on television this morning saying, we don't want to give health care benefits to illegal aliens. Yes, you do roll the tape. You can see time and time again, Democrats have supported that. They've voted for it, and they did it under Joe Biden, and we stopped it. The president stopped it with the passage of the one, and now they want to undo the President's very popular policy to ensure that taxpayer funded health care benefits only go to tax paying law abiding American services, Caroline. Do you think? Do you think

Speaker 1

04:49

it's likely going to be in the 1000s? A very good question, and that's something that the Office of Management and Budget and the entire team of the White House here again, is unfortunately having to work on today. These discussions and these conversations, these meetings, would not be happening if the Democrats had voted Caroline. Do you think that emergency rooms look I'll let the President speak on that. As you know, he has made it very clear he wants this war to end, but he has also said, if both sides are serious about ending the war, United States of America will continue to tell weapons to NATO. NATO introduce weapons to NATO however they want. The President said today he's meeting with the budget chief President to talk about which Democrat agency he recommends be cut. What agencies are on the table for that conversation, those conversations,

Speaker 3

05:40

anything that's potentially considered right now. We need a Democrat agency. What is he referring to? Look, we're going to

Speaker 1

05:46

look at agencies that don't align the administration values that we feel are a waste of attacking their daughters. And look, unfortunately, these conversations are happening because we don't have any money coming into the federal government right now, and so the President wants to be a good steward of the American practicing our dollar during a time when our balance sheet is looking very grim because the Democrats chose to shut

Speaker 2

06:10

everything down. Higher Education. What are you trying to achieve with this butterfly? Is this offering preferential access, or if these universities don't sign in,

Speaker 1

06:25

I think that's a determination for our policies today, but this letter went out to multiple diversity. It's really a sign of encouragement work alongside the administration, ensuring for each in terms of Steve, I heard you had another Yes. So the President made it very clear he wants to hear back from the very soon. I will leave it to the President, Secretary of State to speak on that, but we

Unknown Speaker

07:02

expected, we hope, that law

Speaker 1

07:05

school accept the plan that was proposed by professional envoy talk. It's a good plan, and as you know, it's been applauded

Speaker 2

07:12

by leaders. Do you think? Do you think hospitals should not have to cover people?
