In a situation like this, where the Senate Democrats have decided to turn the keys to the kingdom over to the White House, they have to make tough decisions.

The reason that House Republicans are home working in their districts... is because we did that.

There's not, Margaret. Good morning. Good to hear your voice. It's kind of quiet around here.

I pray that more Democrats in the Senate will come to their senses and do the right thing.

[Massie] doesn’t have a point.

We were always planning to do that. Again, that funding runs out December 31.

Chuck Schumer always voted for those in the past... but now suddenly he's commanding his Democrats in the Senate not to do it.

I'm telling you my position- I'm the Speaker of the House.

What I’m saying is we have to keep the lights on in the building so that we can have those discussions and debates.

Not necessarily.

I mean, look, I’m working on the policy.

There has to be reforms to that subsidy, because there’s a lot of fraud, waste and abuse involved in it.

Play the tape of Chuck Schumer saying consistently for the last 30 years that CRs are dangerous, destructive, and selfish.

Chuck Schumer has shut it off because he needs a political argument right now.

I quite literally have nothing to negotiate.

This is the way the system works.

When Congress turns off the funding, and the funding runs out, it’s up to the commander in chief, the president of the United States, will determine how those resources will be spent.

There has to be reform.
