No problem.” Written by Media Matters Staff Published 12/20/24 9:16 AM EST Video file Citation From the December 19, 2024, edition of Newsmax's Greg Kelly Reports GREG KELLY (HOST): Go ahead and shut it down. What's the big deal? They talk about it like it would be the armageddon. Shut it down. The government shuts down every weekend. No problem. Shut it down. We've been through it before. I'm not worried. Neither should you be. It may not come to that, though. They have a new agreement, a reasonable one, short and sweet. Not that crazy 10,000 page nonsense. And President Trump likes this version. He made it quite clear.
