LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): The shut -- how is it subverting governmental norms, when the Congress has the power of the purse, the president has the power of the veto?

ARROYO: If you think Nancy Pelosi, daughter of the mayor of Baltimore, is going to put -- an Italian -- is gonna put up with this girl staging sit-ins in her office, and critiquing her decisions, in her caucus, in her House?
