And unfortunately, it seems like not all the Democrats agree with that and they're beginning to apply their government shutdown pressure. But I want you to remember one thing. All but one House Democrat voted to shut down the government in March. And we expect, sadly, that that may happen again. That will be their inclination. If the government shuts down, it will be because congressional Democrats rejected common sense solutions to fund the government and instead caved to their far left base. (05:29–05:35)
