Thune: Schumer Shutdown Day Nine

Published | Video Starts at 01:56

And we've already seen, Mr. President, plenty of negative impact from the Democrat shutdown. But a whole new wave of pain begins tomorrow if Democrats don't act. Because If we fail to fund the government by the end of the day today, American service members will begin going without their paychecks starting tomorrow. That's right, Mr. President. If Democrats can't bring themselves to reopen the government by the end of the day, our troops, the people who protect and defend this country, will start missing their paychecks. (01:56–02:04)
