What do you say about all this, about, number one, government shutdown and number two, what the Democrats are asking in order to end it? Oh, let me just say that I have said before, I think on this show that Had we had local police cooperation, that the awful deaths that were occurred, that the two deaths that occurred in Minneapolis I do not think would have occurred. But sadly, the local police didn't want to cooperate in that state, which is really, really sad, particularly for the families of the people who were killed. (09:45–09:58)
