video, you ve seen, of mick mulvaney saying the same thing back in 2015. right. so let s talk about how long this thing is going to last. nothing can happen before thursday at the very earliest. mick mulvaney says it s going to go until january 3rd. that s up to him and up to the president. we democrats have given the administration three very, very sensible options for keeping the government open. and remember, there are seven appropriations bills that are yet to pass representing about 25% of discretionary spending for the government. six of those have no controversy surrounding them. we could pass them and get all of those people back to work immediately without any disruption. the only one where there is controversy is the homeland security budget and over the border wall. let s pass a continuation resolution, give us a couple months to work on that but pass all the other ones. the commerce department is one of those. i have about a thousand census
into recess until at least thursday. it doesn t mean it will be until thursday until we hear something back, but i don t think things are are going to move very quickly here the next few days. i think it s very possible the shutdown will go beyond the 28th and into the new congress. chuck, what s your reaction of how things will stand now and how you see this playing out? trump has made the wall into this symbol of his entire presidential aspirations. and what that s done is actually raised the price of it in a psychic sense. the democrats don t want to budge and they would be seen as capitulating the president. before he put his foot down, it seemed like there was going to be a deal and now both sides are dug in and there s no real end in sight. somebody is going to have to back down. the longer it goes on, the more likely it s the president.

with a relatively short-term c.r., we will end up in effect punting this year s business into next year. i think it s not a very desirable outcome. we democrats don t want to shut down the government. and as for the idea of what sarah huckabee sanders said, they could get wall money from nafta or some other part of the government, they need congressional approval. they re not getting it for the wall, plain and simple. brooke, you listen to that and you think everybody sounds bad, probably not in a great place. when it comes to a broader deal, a bigger deal, which there were discussions about having earlier this morning, that would be true. as to whether or not the government is going to shut down on friday, things like like they re in a better place. what senator mcconnell was referring to was punting tuntil
