Airports calling ground stops because the government shutdown chaos.

The Schumer shutdown is now starting to have some bite.

This is going to get ugly, folks. As I talk to you here, we have JFK Airport, Nashville Airport,

a bunch of airports are calling ground stops going into the weekend, meaning there's no flights taking off because they

don't have the staffing, notably they don't have the air traffic controllers, but also I believe

TSA is experiencing shortages too. And for what? Why is all this happening? Because Democrats are

nuts. Because Chuck Schumer doesn't want to lose to the left wing of his

party, because Hakeem Jeffries doesn't know what he's doing. So we are left with this,

a government that is actually now running out of money in a real way to do things that we want

it to do. And I just hope that the Trump administration, the Republicans in Congress, make this case

as loudly as possible to the American people.

This was entirely avoidable.

There was no reason for this.

This was done in bad faith by these Schumer Democrats.

They have decided that they're going to hold a continuing resolution, a funding of the government hostage. Many

times Republicans have said, all right, let's go. Let's just fund the government for a period of

time here. And we can figure out what else needs to be figured out. Democrats think that they should be able to dictate governance when they're in the minority.

So they are willing to sabotage the operations of government in order to get their way.

This cannot be rewarded.
