RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BREAM: “Assigned to it you haven’t had a day off you know critics are saying the house hasn’t been yet we hear paid vacation for six, seven, eight weeks that members have not been here but listen I’ve heard from Republican suit some of them frustrated there was knotwork happening here on issues that could’ve been handled outside the shutdown”

Johnson: “They were about three of them frustrate 9.9% of the House Republicans were united in that and they will tell you and they have said publicly and privately they have had some of their best work of their careers during the shutdown because they were in their districts with their constituents helping them navigate through the chaos of the shutdown that the Democrats created but are of the Democrats in Congress voted 16 times to keep the government closed to bring on the longest shutdown in U.S. history into exact all his pain on the people and for what? Millions of American families went without food on their tables over this. You had a millions of Americans stuck in airports and strata because their flights were canceled yet troops awarded where their next paycheck was going to come from it was off or not they got nothing out of it. That’s why you see the backlash against the Democrat leadership because we try to talk them out of that and enemy couldn’t.”
