Third hour, Clay and Buck kicks off now, and we've got some updates for you on the looming government shutdown situation.

Is it going to happen?

Is it going to turn into a blame game?

We will see, but it will all be fine.

And if the system has to get a little bit of a jolt here and there,

well, that's to be expected.

So I think we have to put some degree of trust in the agenda right now,

and that means a bit of faith in the plans of the people that we have

elected or have been chosen by those we have elected on the Trump in the Trump White House

to get the job done. And there's, because remember, there's a lot of horse trading and conversations

behind closed doors with these members of Congress that none of us will ever be told about.

So there's what is presented to us in the public,

and then there's what the negotiations sound like

when the cameras are not around.

Always, always keep that in mind.

We've got Caroline Levitt, the White House press secretary,

who has had to take some incoming from reporters.

I think they're starting to feel their stuff a little more in the fake news.

They are finding that any day where anything bad happens is an opportunity to blame Trump,

which is fine.

We knew this would happen.

This isn't even, this is in no way a surprise.
