Utah Rep. Mike Kennedy speaking to media about government shutdown

And I feel like, as a congressional Republican, a freshman in this process, this is total nonsense. What we're dealing with. The fact of the matter is On September 19, the congressional Republicans sent a check waiting for the endorsement of the Senate to just sign the check and fund the government. We sent that on September 19th, and here we are now 34 days into a government shutdown, and still we have. We need five Senate Democrats. For those that don't know. (00:20–00:32)
