I hope you'll take a look at the book, how to Test Negative for Stupid. You know, it comes out Tuesday. Hopefully we'll be out of the shutdown then. But I'm not going to give in. I don't care what the others do. I'm just like a Missouri mule on this. I'm sitting my butt down in the mud and I'm not budging. If the Democrats want to come to their senses, they can. If they don't, then I'm happy as a clam at high tide. (07:29–07:36)
