“I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for yielding on such an important topic. I am glad to be here tonight because I think it is important that we go out and make our case to the American people and tell the truth, which is not what you are going to hear in the media or from our Democratic colleagues, as we have heard earlier today. The government now has been shut down for 25 days, breaking the record for the longest partial government shutdown in history. We would like to express our empathy and concern for those affected, and may this be resolved sooner than later. Why has this been so long?

It was on hatred and hate speech and all that. They won't address this issue. They want to walk away from this. They don't want to support President Trump's border wall so they can go to their constituents and say they won. This is all about the 2020 Presidential election. They aren't concerned about border security or the security of the American people. This is not a game. We are not talking about a game. We are talking about the rule of law, security for the American people and our Nation.…”
