Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, listeners. This is your White House Daily Briefing
for Monday, October sixth, twenty twenty five. The federal government
enters its sixth day of partial shutdown today as political
deadlock between Republicans and Democrats continues in Congress. White House
Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt spoke to reporters this afternoon, placing

(00:21):
responsibility for the shutdown on Democrats and criticizing them for
what she called holding the American people hostage over demands
tied to health care for undocumented immigrants. She outlined several
immediate impacts, military families now seeking food assistance as service
members go unpaid, and the Women, Infants, and Children Nutrition

(00:42):
Program facing unprecedented strain that could exhaust its funds soon.
Air traffic controllers remain on the job without pay, which
the White House says poses a serious risk to travel safety.
The National Flood Insurance Program is also in jeopardy of lapsing,
just as the height of hurricane season approaches. Leavett noted

(01:03):
that programs to help veterans transition to civilian life have stalled,
and key federal economic reports from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and Bureau of Economic analysis are delayed until the
government reopens, leaving policymakers and markets without crucial data. In addition,
the administration announced it would suspend over two billion dollars

(01:25):
in funding previously allocated to infrastructure projects in Chicago, escalating
the funding battle along party lines. Federal employees whose work
is deemed not aligned with President Trump's priorities have reportedly
been targeted for layoffs and furloughs as the shutdown drags on,
and unions representing those workers are now pursuing legal action.

(01:47):
Moving to other headlines, President Trump returned to the White
House last night following a weekend of events celebrating the
two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the United States Navy. In
brief remarks to the press outside the residents, the president
praised the military and highlighted what he described as ongoing
success in rebuilding the Navy, referencing both his current and

(02:08):
prior terms. He also expressed optimism regarding international negotiations and
suggested rapid progress on talks to secure the release of
hostages held by Hamas, stating that meetings with Middle Eastern
leaders have been very good and that developments may unfold soon.
Inside the White House, the mood remains tense, amid ongling

(02:29):
budget disputes and mounting public pressure. White House officials are
emphasizing the administration's willingness to negotiate on spending, but continue
to insist that blame for the shutdown lies squarely with
democratic leadership. There are no public events scheduled at the
White House today apart from the official press briefing, and finally,

(02:50):
looking ahead, President Trump has confirmed plans to host a
first ever Ultimate Fighting Championship bout on the White House
grounds for his eightieth birthday next year, underscoring the ongoing
crossover between sports and politics in this administration. Thanks for
