Published | Video Starts at 00:59

Valideo thinks news Speaker Mike Johnson's military heavy district would not like him leading the government to a shutdown. That means delayed pay for America's troops. He's got a lot of military installations in his district. And the idea of having a shutdown where you're sending your sailors, your troops, your marines, your, anyone that is in the military to work every day and not paying them is just not a good look for us. Lamalfa, who has been arguing for reform in need of better water storage, thinks Johnson's district in Louisiana faces similar issues that cannot be solved in a shutdown. (00:59–01:15)
