This topic, we welcome to the broadcast sarah washington and with us from wisconsin, our friend charlie sykes, long time radio talk show host and author. sarah, serious question. are we know longer hoping to get the funding from mexico? i ask because last night was really the first time he went past that, talked about needing money from congress. it would be the first time we've had a government shutdown intraparty. i remember the one during the clinton versus gingrich battle. this would be republicans controlling white house, white house and senate. so that would be usual. i think whatever fu...
