00:00And Washington has entered its longest ever federal government shutdown, as we have been

00:05speaking about. But why, instead of holding talks with the Democrats, has President Donald Trump

00:12called to remove the filibuster rule? Well, the filibuster rule is a tough rule

00:18where a senator could stop the whole proceedings. And I think I agree with the president that there

00:25has to be an end to this procedure because it is an obstacle in the Senate to pass any

00:34law if one senator decides to filibuster. So it's problematic. And I think the president

00:41is right in asking the Congress to stop these procedures.
