going for optics here we wouldn't be shutting down the national institutes of health, shutting down em ba funded it all. you're ignoring that the house republicans did their job and funded it. >> there is a bill to stop to vote on the continuing resolution. if speaker boehner took it -- >> if he capitulated to your view. >> i agree most republicans -- will you agree republicans in congress would voter for it and we could stop the shutdown tomorrow if there was a vote on this? there would be bipartisan support for it. >> i don't engage in hypothetical conversations. mark, i could ask the same of you. how many resolutions have been passed by the house? how many short-term spend ing bills have been passed and haven't seen the light of day in the senate? it was the 10th, 11th one the other day. how many of these have seen the light in the senate? none of them. of the four that made it to the floor, they got shut down. i will make this simple for you and for some people watching from home who may be drive-by viewers. >> they don't need it simple, dana. >> mark, i'm talking. learn something. zi
