of the government was already funded back in september. the soldiers are already going to get paid for a year. the military is funded. okay? department of education, department of labor, health and human services, all funded. the va is funded. so what we're talking about here really if trump does shut it down, if it is his shutdown, we're talking about extended vacation for nasa workers and the epa. that's about -- i mean there's not much more than that. less than 10% of the government that would not be funded. kennedy: i know you have written very tightly worded legislation abolishing entire departments of the federal government. is there any way if we have a shutdown like this you and your colleagues can write something that says that instead of, you know, taking a little bit from here and a little bit from there and, you know, government workers get a little time off, they will get paid eventually, can we just abolish the department of commerce? >> we could start there. i would like to get rid of the department of education. >> that was your bill. i think it should have passed >> you know, the deadline is december 31st, 2018 for it to shut down in my legislation. look, even t

guest: the department of defense , department of labor, health and human services, education, army corps of engineers. the legislative branch. congress and their staff will not be impacted if there is a shutdown. host: what does a shutdown look like from your perspective right now? these agencies to come up with their shutdown plans. can you paint a picture? guest: it's going to be agency by agency because there is exempt and nonexempt federal employees. anyone who is exempt needs to report to work. they just may not get paid on time depending on the length of the shutdown. department of homeland security i think roughly 90% of their staff was to work so depending on the length of the shutdown have tsatill going to doing airport screening. have tsa doing airport screening. but one of the things we would expect is when -- when there is some type of legislation to reopen the departments is almost always provision for back pay. host: for all those people considered nonessential. has that ever not happened? guest: i don't believe so. at least the more recent shutdowns. host: about 420,000 em

department of justice, health and human services, department of education, we're all coming together to figure out how to lean in together. and labor, six million unfilled jobs, more unfilled jobs than people looking for work. this opioid epidemic is not just something affecting my brother or me and our family, it affects all of us. our competitiveness, our ability to continue on this economic upswing. the government put out $2 billion, more money than has ever been dedicated to the opioid epidemic. folks say it's not enough. but i say we can't spend our way out of a problem, we need to work smarter and work harder and find ways to break down the silos and different funding streams so we can all pool our resources to work together. but i'm also focused on making sure that money gets to local communities. i used to run the state department of health in indiana. one frustration was that the money we hear about it on tv, but it never seemed like it made it down to the community level. mr. bernstein: how is that possible? dr. adams: it's hard to distribute money across the united states. so it gets allocated here, it goes to the states, then the states have to allocate it to the communities, and the communities then divey it up amongst smaller groups. one of the things we're trying to do, this administration is really trying to do, to make sure that money gets there so much more quickly. looking at new models to fund different programs so some places can apply directly instead of going through the circuitous routes to get that funding. mr. bernstein: what is some of the money going toward at the community level? what's being done? dr. adams: i'm proud to say after i put out our naloxone advisory, the first advisory in 13 years, naloxone prescribing is up over 350%. we know communities have been able to turn around the opio
