Furlough is going to go. Both delcanto and his wife work for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health negotiation. He never budgeted for this. Please end this and get us back to work. We feel like we have been kicked around. Amy works for the weather service. With two masters in meteorology. What the speaker has to accept is yes. He said that he wanted to go to conference. He sent us something from the house. So, i thought that we had thrown him a lifeline. I said fine, well go to conference. All we want you do is open the government. And i went through things that we would be happy to talk about, or anything else he wanted to talk about. We said well be happy to talk about discretionary spending. Well talk about agriculture. Well talk about parks. Well talk about healthcare. Well talk about anything that you want to talk about. And he says, no. All i want to do is go to conference on a shortterm cr. We have the debt ceiling staring us in the face and he wants to talk about a short term cr . I thought that they were concerned about the longterm Fiscal Affairs of this country. And we said we are, too. Lets talk about it. My friend, john boehner, i repeat, cannot take yes for an answer. Thank you mr. Leader. On march 1, we saw many of you out here after we had a meeting in the oval office with president obama. At that time, Speaker Boehner and leader mcconnell wanted to proceed on the Budget Discussion under the regular order. A washington term, which means you pass a bill in the house, you pass a bill in the senate, you go to conference. All of that was march 1 before the end of the month. The hoys and the senate both passed a bill, but the republicans had resisted the regular order. For six months, they have avoided going to conference. So now they come up with their suggestion of 986 or 988. Which is a figure that our members in the house do not like. Thinking it is far too low and the republican chairman of the probations Committee Says it does not enable government to provide for the needs needs of the American People. Having said that, over 100 members of the house, democrats stood on the steps of the capital today and made a solid real offer to the speaker of the house to accept his number, which they dont like and they dont respect. But for the purpose of opening up government and going to the next step. All we have to do is bring it up, pass it in the house. It comes to the president s desk, government is open. Then we would go to the table as his leaders suggest on budget and some of that discussion can be helpful in terms of addressing growth, deficit reduction, and how we go forward on the debt ceiling. So we just have to find a way and we have to find a path that they can go down. But if they keep moving the goal post and wont accept their own number as the leader says, if they dont take yes for an answer, then i can only conclude that they wanted to shut down government. I think that has a purpose for them and we know what that is. They want to overturn the Affordable Care act that is not going to happen and frankly, thats not what our constitution had in mind. If you dont like something, you threaten to shut down government. Its not that kind of a system. So in any event, ever optimistic because so much is at stake, im hopeful that in the conversation we heard each other and that we will be able to find a place to go as this leader suggests to the budget table, six months after we were supposed to in order to discuss the budget that can be helpful. The next challenge is lifting the debt ceiling. Im glad it was held. Some candid discussion, wouldnt you say mr. Leader . And we wont go into that. Leader reid one of the things i was very, i felt very happy i was there. President of the United States was very, very strong, strong, strong. This never happened before. They can make all the historical analysis that they want, just never happened before where a Political Party would be willing to take the country to the brink of this financial disaster and say we arent going to pay our bills. The president said he will not stand for that and we were. We said that we will be happy i said, happy to work with you. Speak on the way out of this, but we are where we are. Were not going to we are through playing little games on, all focused on obama care. Thats all its about. And as ive said before and ill tell each of you here tonight. They did the same thing to social security. They did the same thing to medicare and they are trying to do the same thing to obama care. Obama care is another social security. Its another medicare program. It is something that is a signature issue of this administration and nancy pelosi and harry reid were happy to get it done. The one thing we made very clear in that meeting, we are locked in tight on obama care. Senator reid and leader pelosi okay. What is your sense . How real you have been listening to a press conference by House Minority leader, nancy pelosi as well as harry reid. Harry reid says that republicans right now are interested in going to the negotiating table to talk about a cr or a continuing resolution. That would essentially do is fund the government because right now, we dont have the appropriations legislation to continue to keep the government running, keep funds running because of the shutdown right now. And also, president obama just 30 minutes earlier held an emergency meeting with congressional leaders to try and find a way out of this budget stalemate. But he said he would not negotiate until the republicans agreed not only to keep the obama care legislation in tact, but to also approve other legislation to raise the debt ceiling. Again, this country is going to run out of money october 17. So, congressional leaders and the president have to decide right now whether they are going to be able to come to some kind of resolution, not just on this, but also to raise the debt ceiling, which is going to be october 17. This is a story that we are continuing to follow right now and House Speaker, john boehner, spoke just moments earlier before House Minority leader, nancy pelosi and harry reid. Lets listen to what House Speaker, john boehner had to say. Still waiting for the video from House Speaker john boehner. Again, he did speak moments earlier before harry reid and nancy pelosi. Lets listen in. In times like this, the American People expect their leaders to come together and try to find ways to resolve their differences. The president reiterated one more time tonight that he will not negotiate. We have divided government. Democrats control the white house and the senate. Republicans control the house. We sent four different proposals to the colleagues in the senate. They rejected all of them. We asked for a conference. To sit down and try to resolve our differences, they will not negotiate. We had a nice conversation, polite conversation, but at some point, we have to allow the process that our founders gave us to work out. We have appointed the house side to sit down and work with our senate colleagues. Its time for them to appoint. All we are asking for here is a discussion and fairness for the American People under obama care. I would hope that the president and my democrat colleagues would listen to the American People and sit down and have a serious discussion about resolving these differences. All right, there you saw him, thats House Speaker, john boehner, they wont talk, we want to negotiate. The president said, not until you reopen the government. Joining us now to talk about this prolonged Government Shutdown is somebody who went through Something Like it on capitol hill 17 years ago now. Former Maryland Congress member. Its always wonderful. Its a pleasure. You were a moderate republican from a blue state and lonely, i think in this current Republican Party. But what is your personal reaction to what happened so far and both sides . When will they ever learn . I thought they would have learned from the terrible shutdown which we had, which took all together about 28 days, a little snowstorm at the end. I really didnt think the beginning of last week they wouldnt work something out. Its a last minute, but they didnt. So i think they need a sign on the capital. Closed for Emergency Repair and analysis. You worked under House Minority leader then, republican, bob michael, and with newt gingrich. Do you sense a different attitude between those Republican Leaders and where it is today . I do. I think i sense that both parties are going in opposite directions, certainly the Republican Party is not one that i would be comfortable in right now because veering more and more to the right. Derek, i think basically is causing it is the safe districts where the primary voter is the one that makes the difference. I would submit that august is a new november. You know, and so i think we need to do something. Looking ahead to redistricting, the concept of safe districts, they can be voting for their own constituency. But vote for the country. But they would say, im doing what my people sent me here to do, which is fight hard for these ideals and not compromise. Thats what they are saying, thats very little justification for what is happening in the country. I mean, right now in the district of columbia, where 70,000 federal employees when you consider washington, maryland, and virginia, will probably be unemployed tomorrow. At least temporarily. And when you think of what the financial cost, the psychological cost, what is it saying to our young people . I just spoke to the young people today about public service. And they might say, they are enthusiastic about doing something good, not with this happening. Its a little tough out there. Connie, your time is always appreciated. Thank you for it. Thank you. Lets get to topper shutt. 88 was the high today. 89 was the record. Its still pretty warm out here.
