Speaker Johnson condemns Democrat shutdown after Trump's Knesset speech

Published | Video Starts at 08:16

Nothing but distract. Now, I'll end on one very important note. Ending this shutdown is not a one party exercise. Republicans do have control of Congress, quote unquote. But It still takes 60 votes to pass a funding bill in the Senate. All of this is the way the Founders intended the process to work. Any Democrats who suggest otherwise are willfully misleading the American people. (08:16–08:21)
