I get there's differences in priorities and policies, but negotiate that when the government is open. Don't hold America hostage. Don't hold our skies hostage. And that's what's happening right now. And again, This is the second longest shutdown that we've seen. It would be great if Democrats would see this and vote to open and then it's a vote to negotiate. Transportation historically sometimes has been a bipartisan issue. (20:05–20:09)
