I only have 30 seconds left to say some pretty substantive things, and I won't have the time to do it. Madam Speaker, Mr. and Mrs. America ought to know that when I was the majority leader we didn't shut down the government. When I was the majority leader on this side of the House, we passed every bill we wanted to pass because we are not a divided party, as the party that is now in the majority has so clearly demonstrated on a regular basis how divided they are. The Speaker made a deal. Keep the deal. Stop taking hostage the American people and their government.
