Thanks to you for joining me at home at this hour. Unless republicans in congress do something about it, this Saturday Night, at one minute past midnight, the federal government will shut down. And while the House Freedom caucus making radical demands and treating this like a political stunt, that Saturday Night deadline very real in terms of the harm it can cause for Hundreds Of Thousands of americans. I am old enough to remember the last time that the Government Shutdown because republicans wanted something ridiculous. Its right around christmas of 2018. The federal government shut down because President Trump demanded funding for a border wall that he never ended up finishing. And on capitol hill, it was a but for 100,000 Government Workers, these antics and 35 days without a paycheck. That new life for ships enter in Capitol Heights its opening its doors to furloughed workers, providing donating food from Grocery Stores and church members. Im with the Department Of Commerce in four

And dont know what it is like to go without a check. T
