And as we come on the air tonight, things are actually happening, here on Capitol Hill, which after 42 42 days of this government shutdown, is actually worth a breaking-news banner of its own, because lawmakers are now working late into the evening, tonight, to seal the deal, and end the longest government shutdown on record.

They want the Guard to come in. Or, they don't care who comes in. They just wanna be safe. And they really don't care. There was one woman, she was great today. She said. You know what?

Basically, the speech was crude and stupid and greeted with an eight-kiloton silence.
