Mike Johnson

I didn’t even know who Bad Bunny was, but it sounds like a terrible decision in my view.

I think that’s what’s going to happen here. The president doesn’t want a single American employee to be harmed.

I support — look, we’re limited-government conservatives, and there is too much inefficiency in the federal government. It’s too large. It does too many things.

Republicans are the ones delivering for you.

And let’s pray this ends soon.

We’ll keep you posted.

I’m trying to muster every ounce of Christian charity that I can, but this is outrageous.

The reason the House isn’t here in regular session is because they turned the lights off.

It’s on the Senate. They’re the ones playing games. All the questions need to be for them.

I’m doing our job. We passed the bill.

People are upset. I’m upset. I’m a very patient man, but I am angry right now.

The Democrats are the ones that are preventing you from getting a check.

I want you to hear something very clearly: The Republicans are the ones delivering for you.

And so is it better for them, probably, to be physically separated right now? Yeah, probably is, frankly.

We put that bill on the floor, and the Republicans voted to pay the troops, TSA agents, border patrol, air traffic and everybody else.

They’re trying to make this about health care. It’s not. It’s about keeping Congress operating so we can get to health care. We always were going to. They’re lying to you.

In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

The ones delivering for you

I am begging you to pass this legislation.

The House did its job.

This is a publicity stunt.

That's totally absurd. You guys are experts at red herrings and distractions. It has nothing to do with Epstein.

Yeah, reopen the government so we can get back to work.

It's my understanding that the law is that they would be paid. There is some other legal analysis that is floating around.

The House is done. The ball is now in the Senate's court.
