How am I going to shift money around. It is the American people that get hurt by this. There is no reason for a government shutdown. Republicans are united. House Republicans, Senate Republicans, the President of the United States, all agree to keep the government open. All it takes is Chuck Schumer to agree to put the bill. It's sitting at the Senate desk. The House has passed it. We can pass it. (04:28–04:38)
