Published | Video Starts at 01:17

So I'm glad that the Senate has come with a conclusion. The House is going to respond and we'll be able to go forward in this and learn a lesson. You know, look, This shutdown, what was it over? It wasn't over health care. That's why we have committees, that's why we have appropriations. And everyone realizes that health care is a problem. But to shut down the government and cause harm, in my opinion it was unjustified. (01:17–01:23)
