Speaker of the House Mike Johnson joined Buck from Capitol Hill with the very latest on the government shutdown. The speaker says it’s all about health care for illegals and it’s explained right here, on page 57 of the Democrats’ proposed CR.

There’s been a lot of noise and false narratives circulated about the government shutdown. But this is the simple truth (with receipts!) that no Democrat can refute.https://t.co/MD1kzLTup7 pic.twitter.com/jVGPOYH07Q
