Continuing resolution with republicans. why are you a no? >> you know, i'm a no primary for spending reasons. i think the debt -- this year the deficit will be close to $800 billion. next year projected to be a trillion dollars. next year congress puts up spending caps, military and non-military has spending caps and we exceeded them like hundreds of times. we started in the 1990s trying to have self-restraint in both sides and frankly now, republicans worse than democrats want to exceed the spending caps. so for me it's not about daca for many democrats, they want the daca fix to be part of s...
