Uh, you know, I don't know how they get in a position where

If you don't do your job or you're not adequate or you're not needed anymore, you can just sit there and remain in a role and take the taxpayers' money.

I don't believe in that.

So this would be a great opportunity if they did shut it down.

And again, I'm not for shutting it down just to be shutting it down.

I think the really big shutdown is going to be the next one.

But if they want to shut it down now, they give Russ an opportunity to start combining agencies.

Let's put energy with the EPA.

Let's do all kinds of things where we can cut back on this bloated government.

The American taxpayers can't afford this nonsense.

And this would be a great time.

So please, Chuck Schumer, talk your folks into shutting it down.

And let's shut this thing down and start cutting people and sending them and doing other jobs.

There's a lot of jobs out there.

And so, yeah, again, I think the best time to shut it down would be the next vote, which would be in, what, a month, month and a half.

But if they want to shut it down now, so be it.

Oh, that's going to be the showdown because they want another trillion dollars there for illegals getting all kind of welfare and insurance.

And again, they want to cut back on on one of the few good things that they even looked at is is the money now for rural health care.

But at the end of the day, Steve, they they want.

A bloated government.
