Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the White House Briefing Room for Thursday, November thirteenth.
I'm John Decker. After forty three days, the longest federal
government shutdown in history is now over.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Today, we're sending a clear message that we will never
give into extortion, because that's what it was.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
They tried to extore it. The Democrats tried to extort
our country.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
President Trump calls on the Senate once again to end
the filibuster.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
So I say terminate the filibuster because, by the way,
the Democrats will do it immediately if they ever assumed office,
which hopefully they won't.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And the White House reacts to the release of new
emails from Jeffrey Epstein that mentioned President Trump.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that
President Trump did nothing wrong.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
But we begin this Thursday with the passage of the
continuing Resolution and the end of the government shutdown. Wednesday night,
the Republican led House of Representatives, largely along party lines,
passed a continuing resolution, a stop gap funding bill that
reopens the government. The President signed that bill into law
(01:13):
around ten thirty pm Eastern time on Wednesday night in
the Oval Office, and in doing so, it ended a
record long forty three day federal government shutdown. The House
of proved that bill two twenty two to two oh nine.
It was largely along party lines, and it passed the
(01:35):
House of Representatives just two days after the bill cleared
the US Senate. What's in this package. It extends funding
for the federal government through January thirtieth, and it also
includes full year funding for the Agriculture Department, for military construction,
(01:55):
and also the legislative branch. The bill also includes language
guaranteeing the reversal of federal layoffs that were initiated by
the Trump administration during the shutdown, in a move that
was aimed at pressuring Democrats, and it also calls for
essentially a moratorium on future federal layoffs. The resolution of
(02:19):
this standoff now ensures paychecks for federal employees, including air
traffic controllers. They're now going to get not only their
pay going forward because of the full government funding, but
also backpay. It also sends hundreds of thousands of government
workers who had been furloughed back to the job. But
(02:40):
what it doesn't do is address the Affordable Care Act
subsidies that are due to expire at the end of
this year. That argument. That debate has been postponed until
mid December, when the Senate will take up that argument
in a debate on the Senate flam. President Trump in
(03:01):
the Oval Office was surrounded by many of his supporters
members of Congress, including House Speaker Mike Johnson. In signing
this legislation, let's listen to the president right here, this.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Course the country one point five trillion dollars, this little
excursion that they took us on. Republicans never wanted a
shutdown and voted fifteen times for a clean continuation of funding.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
The President said, the shutdown never should have happened.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
There's never been a.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Time when one or the other party ever didn't sign
a continuation.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Just a continuation, not a big deal. That's a continuation,
and we'll talk later.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yet, the extremists in the other party insisted on creating
the longest government shutdown in American history, and they did
it purely for political reasons.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
The longest government shutdown prior to this one also took
place in the Trump administration. It was in his first
term in the White House. That was approximately thirty four days.
This one, like that one that took place in the
president's first term also inflicted a significant amount of pain
on the US economy over.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The past seven weeks. The Democrats shut down as inflicted
massive harm. They caused twenty thousand flights to be canceled
or delayed. They departed so many times so late, people
were hurt so badly. Nobody's ever seen anything like this one.
This was a no brainer. This was an easy extension.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
The Congressional Budget Office says that this shutdown did indeed
inflict pain on the US economy. Many aspects of the
US economy were hurt by this shutdown.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Very bad the Democrats do.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
They deprived more than one million government workers from their
paychecks and cut off food stamp benefits for millions and
millions more Americans in need. They caused tens of thousands
of federal contractors and small businesses to go unpaid. And
the total effect of the damage here antics cause will
take weeks and probably months to really calculate accurately.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
This shutdown, like most shutdowns, was about which party would
blink first, which party would essentially give in to the
demands of the other party, And in this particular case,
it was a group of senators who caucus with Democrats
who broke ranks. Eight senators broke ranks from the Democratic
(05:31):
Party and decided to end this government shutdown. That moved
that legislation through the Senate, ultimately getting it to the
House on Wednesday night, where it passed along party lines.
The President had a political message for voters at the
conclusion of this shutdown.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So I just want to tell the American people, you
should not forget this when we come up to midterms
and other things.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Don't forget what they've done to our country.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
As the shutdown were on the President, I'm end every
Republican Senator to the White House for a lunch, and
during that lunch he made his case once again for
the Senate to end the process of the filibuster, which
requires sixty votes procedurally to move every piece of legislation
(06:19):
through the Senate. The Senate called on senators then to
end the filibuster, and on Wednesday night, the President once
again called on the Republican led Senate to end the
Senate philibuster.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You also want to call for a termination to the filibuster.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So that this could never happen again.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
If we had the philibuster terminated, this would never happen again,
and don't forget we have another date coming up in
the not too distant future. We can never let this
happen again, and we should be able to pass great,
really great legislation.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It was eight Senators who caucus with Democrats, who broke ranks,
and the President did not forget them as he made
remarks in the Oval Office.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And also thank the eighth Senate Democrats who finally did
the right thing in voting to end this craziness, to
this madness. But unfortunately the vast majority of Congressional Democrats
were happy for millions of Americans to suffer.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
They really did suffer too.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And so with the passage of that Continuing Resolution, which
funds the government through January the thirtieth, the President said,
Congress can now return to work on behalf of the
American public.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
So with my signature, the federal government will now resume
normal operations, and my administration and our partners in Congress
will continue our work to lower the cost of living,
restore public safety, grower economy, and make America affordable again.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And with that, the President signed the CR that continuing
resolution at the Resolute Desk.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
We went through this.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Short term disaster with the Democrats because they thought it
would be good politically.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And it's an honor now to.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Sign this incredible bill and get our country working again.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Thank you now.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
As for Democrats, House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries said Democrats
would continue to push for legislation to extend those enhanced
subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. Democrats first passed those
enhanced subsidies in twenty twenty one during the pandemic, but
(08:29):
they also wanted to included in the continuing Resolution, and
that's what this standoff, that's what this government shutdown was
all about. Hakim Jeffries said that Democrats would now put
together a new bill that would extend those ACA subsidies
for three more years. That bill, because of the fact
(08:49):
that Republicans control both the House and the Senate, is
likely to get any traction. It's important to remember that
the end of the government shutdown after forty three days
essentially just simply kicks the can down the road. The
government is funded through the end of January through January thirtieth,
(09:10):
so that means around the third week in January, we
may be back at this all over again. Talking about
the possibility of another government shutdown. Also on Wednesday, House
Democrats released new emails from Jeffrey Epstein which discussed Donald
Trump that prompted Republicans to accuse Democrats of essentially cherry
(09:35):
picking in terms of the twenty thousand pages of other
Epstein documents that were also released on Wednesday. The emails
initially released by Democrats include an exchange between Epstein and
his longtime associate Gallaine Maxwell from twenty eleven that was
years after Epstein and Donald Trump had a falling out.
(09:59):
They a included messages with the journalist Michael Wolfe from
twenty nineteen, while Donald Trump was still in the Oval Office.
One email in particular is getting a lot of attention.
It was from April to second of twenty eleven, and
in that email, Epstein wrote to Glene Maxwell, I want
(10:20):
you to realize that the dog that hasn't barked is Trump.
And then they have a redacted name, and the email
continues that redacted name spent hours at my house with him.
He has never once been mentioned. Maxwell responded that same day,
I've been thinking about that. The White House and House
(10:41):
Republicans said the redacted name was Virginia Geoffrey and they've
accused Democrats of selectively leaking emails in order to smear
President Trump. At the White House Press Briefing on Wednesday,
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt played on the significance
(11:01):
of these new emails.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And it just shows how this is truly a manufactured
hoax by the Democrat Party. For now they're talking about
it all of a sudden because President Trump is in
the Oval Office. But when Joe Biden was sitting in there,
the Democrats never brought this up. This wasn't an issue
that they cared about because they actually don't care about
the victims in these cases. They care about trying to
score political points against President Trump.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now, it's unclear according to that email, when Epstein was
claiming that Donald Trump spent the time at his house.
In a post on truth Social on Wednesday, President Trump said,
the Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein
hoax again because they'll do anything at all to deflect
on how badly they've done on the shutdown and so
(11:46):
many other subjects. And he continued, only a very bad
or stupid Republican would fall into that trap. The President
has said he cut off all ties with Epstein, long
before he was first arrested in two thousand and six. Meanwhile,
also on Wednesday, Congresswoman at Leader Grihalva, she's a Democrat
(12:08):
from Arizona, She became the crucial two hundred and eighteenth
lawmaker to sign on to a bipartisan petition that's designed
to force a House vote on releasing files related to
the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She put her name
down moments after she was sworn into office, and Speaker
(12:29):
Mike Johnson also told reporters late Wednesday that he expects
to bring the matter to the floor next week. That's
much sooner than most lawmakers expected. That legislation that would
compel the Justice Department to release Epstein related files is
unlikely to become law the reason it would need to
(12:50):
pass the Senate, and it is also subject to a
veto by President Trump. But what this legislation would do
is it would put law makers from both parties in
both the House and the Senate on the record concerning
this issue. Finally, a note about me. This month marks
(13:10):
my thirtieth year of covering the White House, and it
is a true honor to come into the White House
Complex every day and report on everything coming out of
sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. I was honored recently by President Trump.
He sent a very kind letter to me. In fact,
let me read you a portion of that letter. He wrote,
(13:33):
Dear John, congratulations on serving thirty years as a White
House correspondent through six administrations. You've played an important role
in empowering Americans with fair and accurate information. I commend
you for your three decades of helping our citizens better
understand the issues that impact their daily lives. The honesty
(13:56):
with which you cover the White House is admirable, and
your leadership and experience in the briefing room is so appreciated.
As you know, my administration is the most transparent in history,
and it has been a tremendous honor working with you
as a member of the press through our unprecedented success.
And he goes on to write, of course, there are
(14:19):
many reporters covering the White House and far too many
lawyers in its hallowed halls, but you are the only
person who can claim both roles. Very impressive. Whether as
a reporter, lawyer, or even a professor, you are well
respected by all of your colleagues, and that is the
most important praise of all. And the President concludes, Milania
(14:42):
and I send our best wishes for continued success in
the White House Press Corps and pray you and your
family will have health and happiness in the years ahead.
Congratulations again, and I am proud to say you are
not fake news. And so a very kind letter, a
(15:03):
gracious letter from the President. I very much appreciate that.
I also received letters of congratulations from both President George W.
Bush and President Barack Obama. So it's nice to get
that kind of honor, praise, and recognition from those individuals
who've led our country. On Thursday night, I'll be celebrated
(15:25):
with an event at the Swedish Embassy here in Washington,
d C. I look forward to that event, and as
a result, as you can imagine, I'm going to be
out late on Thursday night, so there will be no
podcast on Friday. As for the President's schedule on Thursday,
the President receives his intelligence briefing that of course is
(15:45):
closed press that's in the Oval Office at eleven fifteen,
and then the President and the First Lady will participate
in an executive order signing that will happen at two
o'clock in the afternoon in the Easter. That's the White
House Briefing Room for Thursday, November thirteenth. I'm John Decker.
Have a good one.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
