if the white house has a plan they are keeping it to themselves. that is republican senator john kennedy of louisiana. we are now less than four days from a partial shutdown. it seems nobody on capitol hill knows what mr. trump is thinking. the president dug himself a hole when he said he would own the shutdown over the border wall. now republicans are trying to dig him out. democrats trying to call it the trump shutdown. they baited him and he took the bait. joining us on early start cruise is megan vasquez. usually very colorful and matter of fact there from senator kennedy. any plan to avoid a shutdown? it is unclear exactly what the houwhite house plan is righ now. we are t-minus four days out from the government shutdown.
