So do you think the House missed an opportunity on Friday to be the ones to end the shutdown by voting on that unanimous bill, by not voting on that unanimous bill that passed the Senate? Shutdowns are total nonsense. They were nonsense when Democrats years ago, when Republicans years ago did them, and they're nonsense now when Democrats are doing them. We had a bipartisan, bicameral bill more than 40 days ago that was ready to be passed and then these murders had happened and Minnesota happened. (00:58–01:07)
