Speaker Johnson: "Welcome to day 9 of the democratic shutdown"

Published | Video Starts at 25:22

The reason the House isn't here in regular session is because they turn the lights off. We pass the bill, pay the troops. Pay all these essential workers, provide services to the American people. We sent it over there clean. It's 24 pages. It's a bare bones document. It has no Republican priorities on it at all. It's exactly what they voted for before, and they decided to turn this into a political stunt. (25:22–25:28)
