Leadership comes from the top. So if there's a shutdown, it starts at the top. Let me tell you, this is his fault. Joe Biden knew that he needed to negotiate because we were in a divided government. He also knew that in his entire four years, he never had 60 votes in the Senate. So if you want to see or if you want to know what real leadership looks like, Joe Biden was that guy. (17:13–17:18)
