We got to have cooler heads prevail and get off the point of a winner and a loser in this particular case. how do we all save some face in this thing? how do we get to the point of avoiding a shutdown and also give us enough time to actually come up with a long-term solution? the short term crs are not the answer, but a short-term cr is probably better than having a shutdown at this stage of the game. >> dana: senator mike rounds, thanks so much. we are watching senator schumer leave the white h...

You either have the ability to invoke it because its national security or because its in the public interest to keep it private, neither of which apply in this situation. >> the president, and we apologize for the vote buzzer going on behind you, some things are unavoidable. the president said today "the dems will take the blame if theres a shutdown." how do you avoid that, aside from the fact that you dont control the white house, house or senate? >> so youre right. the house, the senate, the p...
