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.

And all of a sudden the Democrats ran away and started using the shutdown as a political weapon. In fact, and frankly, I think the Democrats should be embarrassed that they're using government workers as leverage for their own political ploys. (01:06–01:15)
