When I was chairman of the Pullman City of Governmental Affairs, I passed a bill, the James Lankford, Maggie Hasson Bill Preventing Government Shutdown Act. It's pretty common sense. You don't shut down the government if you are so dysfunctional. You just funded last year's levels. I'll be on the floor of the Senate today, I hope and propose just a 14 day clean cr. Don't attach anything controversial to it. Let's just focus on the areas agreement. (03:31–03:36)
