00:00October 22nd marks another landmark. This is now the second longest government shutdown of any kind ever in the history of our country. And it's just shameful. Democrats keep making history, but they're doing it for all the wrong reasons. We have to repeat the simple truth over and over. Why? Because the Democrats are in an all-out assault on the truth. They're trying to obscure and distract. And you see all the different shiny objects they're trying to make everybody look at every day.
00:26Day after day, Speaker Johnson has kept House Republicans on a taxpayer-funded vacation, canceling votes four consecutive weeks. They shut the government down, ran out of town, and now are nowhere to be found.
00:44Meanwhile, President Trump is busy demolishing the White House to build a ballroom to celebrate him like a king and giving $40 billion to his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina but can't find a dime to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits for tens of millions of Americans.
