710 WOR's Mark Simone show continues now.

Well, you're in the middle of a government shutdown.

It began last night at midnight. I just want to keep reminding you,

because otherwise you might not notice the government shutdown. It doesn't really mean much of anything. We have a government shutdown every single week.

Every Friday night at 5 o'clock, the government shuts down for a couple of days, reopens on Monday,

so you may not notice. Now, these congressmen, they're such weasels. They're such weasels.

They've actually set it up so the government workers don't get paid. They'll get their money, but they don't get paid during the shutdown.

When the shutdown's over, they'll get paid. But they've arranged it so Congressmen and

women get paid. They're the ones that get paid. The least essential workers, but they get paid during the shutdown. Here's Senator Kennedy. Schumer was the leader of all of this, this

shutdown. When Senator Schumer announced these demands, that's when I knew. I knew it in a

nanosecond. We're going to have a shutdown because my colleagues, my Democratic colleagues are very

smart people. And Senator Schumer is a smart person. And he knew when he announced these demands

that I could tell he wasn't serious. He knew they were unsurious. Yeah. Of course, you sound brilliant

whenever you have that accent.

You sound like a wise old guy when you got that southern accent.

The policy part of this makes absolutely no sense.

And that's because this isn't about policy.

This shutdown is about politics.

It is, and it's about health health care for illegals now you got

mike johnson who did a great job lad he goes on cnn n with that awful katelyn collins bad badgering him

pounding away at him uh there's no that's totally illegal No, illegals cannot get health care.

Well, they do.
