Speaker likes talking about the facts. Facts are important here. Since 2017, 30 different CRs, 30 times CRS have moved to keep the government open. And do you know 29 of the previous times Chuck Schumer's voted yes. 29. This 30th time is the only time Chuck Schumer has voted no. And of course you'd say, well then what's changed? If he's voted 29 out of 29 times before this, he voted for clean CRs. (19:57–20:03)
