00:00Well, good evening, everybody. We feel very relieved tonight. The Democrat shutdown is finally over, thanks to House and Senate Republicans who stood together to get the job done.
00:20Absolutely no question in anybody's mind now that the Democrats were responsible for this.
00:25What happened? Millions of American families went without food on their table. You had millions of Americans stranded in airports with their flights canceled and delayed.
00:34You had troops and federal employees wondering where their next paycheck would come from.
00:39The Democrats openly admitted, they openly admitted, many of them said it in their own words, that they used the American people as leverage in this political game.
00:49I want to say that all this was utterly pointless and foolish. This outcome was totally foreseeable.
00:56I said that this would be the outcome when all this began back in mid-September. They did it anyway.
01:02Democrats admitted that they used the people as leverage and they got nothing for their selfish political stunt here.
01:08They didn't achieve anything with this at all.
01:10Now, I'm pleased that tonight on the CR we had three appropriations bills that we now will send over to the president's desk in just a short amount of time tonight to get signed into law.
01:20That's an innovation too. As you all know, it's been years since Congress actually did separate appropriations bills.
01:26I'm proud of that achievement, but I'm really sad that it took us so long to get here.
01:31It was so much pain that had to be endured to get to this point.
01:34Voters are going to remember which political party played games with their lives.
01:39They're going to remember that they did this for their own selfish purposes so that they could look tough to the radical elements of their base.
01:48And real people suffered because of that game.
01:50Thank you all. We got the government open. Let's celebrate tonight.
01:53They did the right thing. We congratulate you.
