Speaker Mike Johnson's Maiden Floor Speech

Published | Video Starts at 22:16

Chuck Schumer and the Democrats in the Senate have been sitting on [the Secure the Border Act] in their majority for nine months. They could do it right now. They could vote on that and send it to the president's desk, but they won't. Why? Because they're apparently okay with all this as well. (22:16–22:22)
