And he's like, yeah, it's amazing.

They just rubber stamp everything I do.

It's the best.

That's not how it's supposed to be in this country.

This is supposed to be checks and balances.

But right now we have a Congress, we have courts, we have all these things that are just saying here, executive branch, take all of our power.

We don't want it anyway.

It's all you, King Trump."

And that, to me, is deeply, deeply troubling.

Absolutely.

Look, let's remind everyone the Republicans control every branch of government at this time.

And so, when they try and continue to pin us on the Democrats, I mean, it's a really head-scratching moment.

It's like, look,

to a certain extent you all got all the power here republicans you guys are the reason this shutdown is still happening and for me i look at it through an additional lens brett every day that passes and the government is shut down for me is just another reminder that donald trump and the republican party would rather protect pedos than figure out a sustainable health care plan because once the government reopens you know what you're also going to get is a vote to release the epstein files

And so this is all such a head-scratching moment for me as Johnson continues to deflect at the expense of the American people.

And it's incredibly frustrating when he gives this sort of, oh, shucks behavior, and he's just trying to be this really smooth-talking guy.

There couldn't be anything further from the truth with Johnson.

I mean, he just comes off incredibly phony, super slimy, and that's every time he takes a stand there, Brad.

And just the disgraceful things they're doing, which are clear violations of the law, clear violations of the Hatch Act, like when they change all these government websites to say, this is the fault of the Democrats.

The Democrats have shut down the government.
