She accused Democrats of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >prioritizing funding healthcare<\/a> for illegal immigrants over serving the American people and said the White House woudl be unable to respond to calls or questions until Democrats approved a Republican-backed continuing resolution to reopen the government. The shutdown arose after Democrats voted against a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-risk-shutdown-blame-game-with-government-funding-hardball\/\" title=\"... risk ... blame game with ... funding hardball\">short-term funding bill proposed<\/a> by Republicans, failing to overcome a Senate filibuster. approximately 40% of federal workers are expected to be furloughed or unpaid during the shutdown.Vice President J.D. Vance warned that if the shutdown lasts longer, layoffs may occur. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump announced plans to meet with officials to decide which federal agencies to cut during the shutdown, calling the situation an possibility to reduce what he described as politically motivated agencies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>After the government shutdown started on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt updated the executive mansion&rsquo;s voic message, and it&rsquo;s certain to peeve Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative political commentator Scott Jennings d the recording on X Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;LMAO will be playing this on the Scott Jennings Radio Show today&hellip; well done @PressSec on the WH comment line,&rdquo; Jennings wrote on the social media platform.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">LMAO will be playing this on the Scott Jennings Radio Show today &hellip; well done <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PressSec?\">@PressSec<\/a> on the WH comment line <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2GLQkIUcOx\">pic.twitter.com\/2GLQkIUcOx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ScottJenningsKY\/status\/1973427719259242848?\">October 1, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Below is a transcript of Leavitt&rsquo;s message.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hello, America, this is White House Press Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-moment-karoline-leavitts-kirk-eulogy-couldnt-go-crowd-applauded-important-line-night\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karoline Leavitt<\/a>.
