And I want for us to have a conversation today that is not MSNBC, CNN, just transparent, honest about what's happening because people are frustrated, Senator.

They're confused.

They don't know what a government shutdown is, why it's happening.

So hopefully we can tackle some of that today.

Well, let's kick it off.

The government is currently shut down, going into week three.

What does a government shutdown even mean?

Because when I ask my patients, my friends, my loved ones, they say it, they say, oh, some essential things are happening, but some are not, some are not getting paid.

So what's happening?

And when these specific essential workers that are not getting paid, they get back pay, how has President Trump funded some of their pay?

Because he wanted to make sure some groups continued to get paid.

What happened during that meeting?

That was in the Oval Office?

Oh, he was recommending that you wear them.

Please.

So in reflecting on that,

Do you feel that the Republicans have been more successful this time around that perhaps maybe you should have held firm and had a shutdown during your course?

Yeah, when we say decimating healthcare, what will actually play out?

I think the reason why our channel is successful is because we try and see people who disagree with us, their side of things.

So when I sat surrounded by those who were anti-vaccine, I had a debate against 20 individuals.
