I mean, Government shutdowns, you know, you're going to stop paying military personnel, you're going to stop paying, you know, TSA agents. You'll have long lines at the airports. I mean, the Border Patrol won't be paid, on and on and on. Services get interrupted. It's a serious situation and it will be completely on them. So that's why Schumer's folded. He doesn't want the political backlash. (02:11–02:23)
