doing that. you can t expect that to go on much longer it seems like each side, governor is afraid to blink or look like they ve made concessions. there s been talk, president in order to get the monkey off his back here would declare an emergency, see how this goes, of course courts invariably weigh in. and at least the government would open. how do you feel? get the government open. get the government open. as a governor and i think i speak for 49 others, i don t care what it takes, compromise, move the ball forward, but there are services that need to be provided and people that are going pay too long without their paycheck, do their job, everyone has to do their job. neil: i apologize. governor, your state is the launching ground for so many presidential campaigns. i know liz warren will be there, a host of others, it might be easier to keep track of the democrats who don t want to run for president than those who do. it s going to get very, very
