    TRANSCRIPT:

    BESSENT: “I can tell you, what’s not good for the economy is this government shutdown. The Democrats are in disarray, they’re flailing, and this is the best they can do, that I think this is the economic story for the next few days.”

    REPORTER: “Not the tariffs?”

    BESSENT: “Not the tariffs, not for the next few days. If they want to take us into a shutdown, they’re going to own it.”
