Speaker Johnson and House GOP Leadership Give Remarks on Day 22 of Government Shutdown

Published | Video Starts at 00:14

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to day 22 of the Democrat shutdown. While it's already been, as we noted yesterday, the longest full government shutdown in history, October 22nd marks another landmark. This is now the second longest government shutdown of any kind ever in the history of our country. And it's just shameful. Democrats keep making history, but they're doing it for all the wrong reasons. The contrast is the split screen, and I've referenced that at this podium a few times already. (00:14–00:20)
