1
00:00:00,567 --> 00:00:01,168
How long can the

2
00:00:01,235 --> 00:00:02,336
government function

3
00:00:02,402 --> 00:00:03,670
in shutdown mode?

4
00:00:03,737 --> 00:00:04,338
At what point

5
00:00:04,404 --> 00:00:05,272
do things just

6
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:06,306
they don't, they can't

7
00:00:06,373 --> 00:00:06,874
function at all

8
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:08,509
and they shut down?

9
00:00:08,575 --> 00:00:09,543
Places like Wisconsin

10
00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:10,410
you feel it less, right?

11
00:00:10,477 --> 00:00:11,078
I think I was

12
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:11,812
doing a town hall

13
00:00:11,879 --> 00:00:12,546
in Derrick Van Orden's

14
00:00:12,613 --> 00:00:13,480
district last week

15
00:00:13,547 --> 00:00:14,381
and I asked about

16
00:00:14,448 --> 00:00:15,282
50 people, I said

17
00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:16,717
who's feeling the impact directl

18
00:00:16,783 --> 00:00:17,784
One person raise their hand

19
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:18,852
out of 50 people.

20
00:00:18,919 --> 00:00:20,120
That's because we're in Wisconsi

21
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:21,088
But if you're trying

22
00:00:21,154 --> 00:00:22,022
to get ahold of Social Security

23
00:00:22,089 --> 00:00:23,657
you want to go to a national par

24
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:25,259
but now if you're eligible

25
00:00:25,325 --> 00:00:26,460
for SNAP benefits

26
00:00:26,527 --> 00:00:27,528
you're going to start feeling it

27
00:00:27,594 --> 00:00:28,262
So you're going to see

28
00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:29,897
more of those things

29
00:00:29,963 --> 00:00:30,831
now happen.

30
00:00:30,898 --> 00:00:32,099
I just think by the time

31
00:00:32,165 --> 00:00:33,000
next week I'm going to go

32
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:34,168
back to Washington, even if

33
00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:35,903
the House Republicans aren't

34
00:00:35,969 --> 00:00:36,837
I'm going to show up

35
00:00:36,904 --> 00:00:38,705
because that's my job to be ther

36
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:40,340
But at the same time

37
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:41,341
we're going to be

38
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:42,276
at two-and-a-half weeks out

39
00:00:42,342 --> 00:00:43,644
from their artificial deadline

40
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:44,211
anyway, right?

41
00:00:44,278 --> 00:00:44,878
So at some point

42
00:00:44,945 --> 00:00:45,946
we have to

43
00:00:46,013 --> 00:00:47,014
quit holding our breath.

44
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,248
If you're the House Republicans

45
00:00:48,315 --> 00:00:50,317
show up in Washington

46
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:51,518
and let's negotiate.

47
00:00:51,585 --> 00:00:53,420
If not even this

48
00:00:53,487 --> 00:00:54,121
let's negotiate

49
00:00:54,188 --> 00:00:54,821
the Farm Bill

50
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:55,956
that's two years overdue.

51
00:00:56,023 --> 00:00:57,624
Let's do the Older Americans Act

52
00:00:57,691 --> 00:00:59,159
reauthorization

53
00:00:59,226 --> 00:01:00,093
that's overdue.

54
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,762
But let's do something.

55
00:01:01,828 --> 00:01:02,496
Just simply

56
00:01:02,563 --> 00:01:03,330
taking another week

57
00:01:03,397 --> 00:01:04,531
of paid vacation

58
00:01:04,598 --> 00:01:06,934
doesn't solve anything.
