so in this government shutdown we have this curious situation
where certain things are declared essential and others were declared
nonessential if you want to show you know that I think
that a government shutdown should be real shut down okay we're showing the
whole government down
a it's the purge good luck to you all there's no cops is the hope Teri
there's no social security there's no nothing the governor stopped functioning
okay pandemonium an hour later and believe me the government's real hope
right but instead they do these hanky-panky start with a Lego a close
this but we won't close that
so than exists as their priorities so
let me region a list of things that are in the nonessential category than our
review things that are
the House and Congress apparently believes is an essential category we
must continue that
in or four the country to be safe okay so
for small clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health Islamist
essential now there's two hundred people that are hoping to receive new trip
treatment there for cancer sorry nonessential
you don't get that remain you might die from cancer nonessential get
what's what else is not a such a well a nobel prize-winning physicist
a at David wyland um
he's working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
he's doing some ground-breaking experimental our work
sorry taker nobel go home
you're non-essential 0 cleaning up toxic waste sites
it ninety-four percent the EPA has been shut down of course them
republicans are ecstatic about that but understand this 505 toxic waste site
sites in forty seven different states are no longer being cleaned up

and that %uh the nasa employees who oversees the
morse rover mission now the guys at the International Space Station
we're not gonna let them die so yes we so
maintain their health and their safety but
the Mars rover program have those guys including a leading the program
furloughed sorry you're up for it you're doing a project on mars nonessential
now you might say hey listen the government continues to operate
maybe they have a point there so let's take a look over at what they think are
essential
and then you get a better assess their priority so the gym
that members over the house or representatives use is apparently
essential now represent Earl Blumenauer
is a democrat from organ I and he got pretty worked up about this now
understand the context
he loves that %um he works out there every day but nonetheless he saying
you think it's essential watch
it's very important but it's not
a sensual you know I had somebody argue with me yesterday that it doesn't cost
that much
because we pay dues we haven't access key that lets you see an
and there are many staff members there now well that's true
than cost very much but it costs the electricity the hot water the towels
they're not provided by Jim fairies provided by taxpayers
some in the most fanatic about inflicting unnecessary pain
on the american public are regulars enjoying our house jam
well the staff Jim is closed mister speaker
if you and the house republicans are serious
and not seen a call about the shutdown then shut down the house
GM shot dad Jim Dowd
for I love the extra little gratuitous thing overstaffed im not a social
to justice that of the house gym for the members please
essential what else every single member representative see FIGS
staff now I did we mention that observe seeking loves the shutdown thinks is
essential
and that the government is bloated NEC ecstatic and that
all these government workers have been furloughed
now they're suppose the furlough some %uh their own workers all other no
my government workers are super sensual
I really wanna fire Newton other people's government workers not my own
and then when they say wait a minute though all other step
have done really painful cuts we know its people we know you don't wanna
furlough your own workers
so this okay my guys are so hardworking they're picking up the slack for the
other guys who've been furloughed
say they don't believe it they're hypocrites seeping loves his government
stuff
he loves his government insurance he loves his government
contract he hasn't given up a salary rate they kept
all for themselves what else is a special
well the capital subway system you know what this is
this is somewhere between the house and the Senate you can walk over
in about 30 seconds they have a special underground subway for
you don't even have to go above ground if you want you can walk underground
know all about that word that might hurt they're pretty little feet
so that subway is still working there's a guy who's paid their
all these is the nobel guys said home the cancer
treatment Kaiser said home but the guy operating also place a bit of the world
who
walk between the buildings he still there not furloughed
essential at of course every single member of congress
is considered essential which is the perhaps a funny as the wall
but then at the end one more just to rub it in a little bit
the Utah National Guard want to do recruiting and a used to use
a mechanical bull well they're all one broke down well on the missile the
government shutdown
we got to get him a new mechanical bull and we have
we spent over forty seven thousand dollars
to make sure they could keep recruiting people into the Utah National Guard
and they have a spanking new mechanical bull
essential by the way the CIA
a after having furloughs some employees realize
that was a disastrous idea and they came back
and said yeah i win we didn't meet the Seoul government shut them anything was
going to last this long
of course we need those guys who else was spying on you and they bring them
all back
the skirmish %uh Damaso optional so absurd
that it just at it means nothing you want to shut the government down
shut it down there you'll know the value of government
