About this listen

 The government shutdown has been going on for more than three weeks, and neither side is budging. On this episode of All Things, Kim Strassel talks to House Speaker Mike Johnson about the closure calculations of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, why he hasn't yet sworn in Arizona's Adelita Grijalva, and the likelihood that the shutdown could soon grow painful for far more Americans--as more flights are delayed, troops miss paychecks, and the feds run out of money for programs like the Women's, Infants and Children supplement. Johnson also talks through the reform demands House Republicans might have in any future negotiations over Obamacare subsidies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
