lew lewis. i feel at home tonight. all these other folks, it's like, where are my people? >> we're your people. >> yes. welcome home. matt, this could be the first shutdown in history when the white house and the congress are controlled by the same party. what does that tell you about the state of the republican party right now, or maybe it is state of the administration? >> it's not good. i don't think a shutdown is good for anybody. it doesn't make republicans look competent. i would say this. now, normally i've always been in the camp. i was a big critic of republicans in 2013 during the shutdown where ted cruz tried to defund obamacare and i thought tf it was a fool's error. i always thought republicans get blamed for it. i actually think this one works out a bit different for a number of reasons, one of which being that in the senate it would likely be a democratic filibuster that would lead to it.
