“So it is a very damaged system, it’ll take weeks to determine how you can repair that,” he added.
Marshall referred to as the funding lapse “a political shutdown.” He mentioned, “I am undecided who’s successful the political warfare proper now on the market, the messaging, however definitely we really feel fairly good about the place we’re proper now.”
