mullaney -- i know his record when he was in congress. to bring those views into office and put them into public policy -- i think no american can appreciate that. but i appreciate your time and letting me speak, and i held for 30 minutes, so maybe i took a few minutes to make up for that. i appreciate it very much. thank you and all the listeners. hear from stockton, california. emma on our democrat line. caller: hi. yeah, i'm amazed at everything that is happening. i am so disappointed in our government right now. republicansat, the are working hard to cover up that they are the ones who are the cause of this shutdown, because basically the democrats are going to make sure that the domestic agenda, and the policies of the people of america are equal to what they are going to spend on defense. basically, from the last republican administration, when cheney was there, there were mechanisms for stealing a lot of money and stuff. we just want to take care of our people, and especially the babies. ,he daca and the chip everything, all domest

it used to be called mullaney hall. is father mullaney, who is isaac hawkins, and why is that important for this discussion tonight? >> when we think about the context of the work we did, for a number of us it was an exploration not only into georgetown's history but the history of the united states. father mullaney was an american catholic in a time when american catholics were not clear about the question of slavery. that was who he was. he was also a leader here at georgetown university and had a choice to make. the choice was around the assets of human beings. that was the 272 men, women, and children who were sold to reconcile some of georgetown's allow the jesuit community here to imagine georgetown's future. it's important to remember why we made a decision not only to rename the hall but also mcsherry hall to another name. i think the renaming is important for other institutions to resist the false idolatry of buildings, confederate statues, flags, the symbols in our culture at this moment that people devoting t

that they are not going to be doing the same thing that mullaney wants the executive branch to do. we found out, it was literally about two minutes after the shutdown kicked in on friday night into saturday, that we got the notice that these -- that the parking attendants were furloughed. we got police officers stationed outside of buildings yesterday as what are normally public barring anyone access to the dirksen building, for instance, to anyone who does not have a congressional id. the buildings are close to the public. the capital seems to be going full into shutdown mode in a way that maybe some other agencies aren't. host: there is a related article at politico.com. the administration trying to keep agencies operating for is long as possible, a departure from the government shut down from 2013. the vice president is overseas. is miles awayt he from the drama that is unfolding now. maybe hee talks that would cancel his trip, but this was long scheduled. i believe his trip was delayed previously because he wanted to stay and be a tiebreaker vote. this trip to on the middle eas

outside, reporters caught up to mick mullaney as he headed into the white house earlier today. when asked how long the government would be shut down.>> it's a really good question. i honestly, do not know the answer. all i know, is that we are sort of working for the best, and preparing for the worst. we take it day by day.>> in the meantime, finger-pointing played out in a weekend proceeding in the house and senate were lawmakers were eager show boaters that they were actively working for solutions.>> i'd like a bipartisan majority, the american people cannot began to understand, why the senate, democratic leader things the entire government, should be shut down until he gets his way.>> i'm always willing to listen to compromiser's to get this done. at this point we feel very, very strongly about the issues, not just dreamers, but opioids, pensions, not funding the military on a cr basis.>> a key sticking point of course, is immigration. senate dam said a deal already approved by the house is unlikely, until an agreement has been struck with the president for protecting young

>>reporter: mullaney said the administration is doing everything it can to minimize the shutdown impact. the longer the shutdown lasts, the harder it will be to do that. >> more on this. we will have andrew eggert join us. the reporter for the weekly standard. from where you said and what you are hearing, based on where things are now, how close are we to a temporary solution to keep the government open for a few more weeks? where is the compromise?>> i think one thing we are seeing with this shutdown is both sides are really digging in. sticking to their guns as far as what they want. the thing about a shutdown is none of the positions have changed. it's just that stakes are a lot higher because the american people know things have gone very wrong and they are upset about that. they are tuning in to see who they ought to blame for that. democrats think they have a very solid pr campaign because they have a sympathetic cause in the dreamers and these kids were brought to this country illegally. through no fault of their own. they think because they will also get relatively synthetic cov
