Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, listeners, Welcome to the White House Daily Briefing
for Wednesday, October first. The top story from the White
House today is the start of a federal government shutdown,
the first in nearly seven years and the third during
President Donald Trump's administration. The shutdown began after Congress failed
to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government funded

(00:21):
past the midnight deadline. According to Bloomberg Television, this lapse
in government funding has resulted in roughly seven hundred fifty
thousand federal workers being furloughed overnight, with many government services
now paused and key economic data releases, including this week's
jobs report and inflation figures, delayed indefinitely. White House officials

(00:43):
placed the blame squarely on Democratic leaders in the Senate
who refuse to pass the short term funding bills sent
from the House. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavett will
hold a briefing at one o'clock this afternoon, where she
is expected to reiterate President Trump's stance that democrats demands
for expanded health care subsidies and reversing recent Medicaid reforms

(01:03):
are unrelated to the immediate task of keeping the government open,
leave it has emphasized that the President wants what he
calls a clean funding extension without policy concessions. President Trump
met with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority
Leader Hakeem Jeffreys yesterday in a last minute effort to
reach an agreement. Reports from the White House say that

(01:24):
while the President offered to extend current funding into November,
no deal was reached as Senate Democrats held firm in
their demands. The lack of compromise means significant disruptions across
military pay, veterans programs, TSA operations, disaster relief, and other
services in other administration use. President Trump's new tariffs take

(01:46):
effect today as part of his efforts to bolster American manufacturing.
These tariffs include one hundred percent duties on imported branded drugs,
twenty five percent on heavy duty trucks, fifty percent on
kitchen capments, and thirty percent on upholstered furniture. The President
believes these moves will help restore jobs and manufacturing in

(02:08):
the United States. Last night, President Trump addressed a rare
gathering of top military leaders at the White House, focusing
on national security, the southern border, and what he described
as an invasion from within. He called for rooting out
what he referred to as woke culture from the armed forces,
and emphasized the need for strong border policies. On the

(02:29):
international front, White House officials have expressed cautious optimism about
a potential Gaza peace deal, though spokespersons admit no side
is entirely satisfied. Negotiations are ongoing, and the administration remains
focused on foreign policy even amidst the domestic funding crisis.
Thank you for tuning in to today's White House Daily Briefing.
