Speaker Johnson, thank you so much for taking a few minutes out of your very, very busy schedule. For young people today, the media is very

1:44.5

much twisting the narrative of what a government shutdown even is and how we got here. So for our

1:49.2

viewers who might be the average 18-year-old that didn't get the world's best civics education,

1:53.7

can you explain what's going on this week?

1:55.7

I don't blame anybody for not understanding all that. It's kind of complicated. But let me make it

1:59.7

really simple, okay? Go back to the 1974 Budget Control Act. Okay, there's a federal law that says the way

hasn't done that for a long, long time, okay? Because Congress has a tendency to not do its duty and responsibility because it's hard work. So what they do instead is they kick the can down the road till the end of the year, usually write about Christmas time, and there's a giant omnibus spending bill. You heard the term omnibus, right?

2:50.7

And that's where they just cram everything in all at once.

2:53.2

The bill is sometimes 2,000 pages long. No one's read it, understood it, not debated it. And it's massive amounts of money, trillions of dollars all at once. That is bad stewardship, okay? So I became speaker almost two years ago in October of 23. I was not expecting to have the job.
