are with these antics? yeah, i think these are all legitimate concerns, and i think, really, we should point back to where the root of the problem is. the root of the problem here is that we are not passing appropriation bills like we should. we have 12 different appropriation bills. we should pass them one at a time. government should never shut down if we re doing our job appropriately, so really, what we need to be saying is why are we not passing spending bills the way we should do it. do you take any responsibility for the tone, for your part in this? well, i think that in order to have compromise, the other side has to negotiate. we ve been willing to compromise and negotiate. the other thing is, we don t control the spending bills. the house has been putting forward spending bills and still continues to do so. it s the democrats in the senate who refuses to pass individual spending bills, and that s what you re supposed to do is pass individual spending bills. you re som
problem of the computer sites, because what we have is a perfect storm here. you have the cynics who run the democratic party and you take the stupid wing of the gop. instead somehow a monkey wrench got thrown into the system, and now everybody hates congress and republicans are taking the bigger political hit. i saw a poll where the approval rating of the u.s. congress was 5% and the margin barrier was 6. mitch, do you think it was a miscalculation for people to take a stand in this way with a shutdown? everybody knew we were going to have a confrontation in the fall over the continuing resolution over the debt limit. it s true the hand of the house of the gop was forced in this rank and file. this is not how they would set up this fight. they would have gone to the debt limit right away. now they re in this fight. it s going to segue into the debt limit, and the caucus is united, and they wanted to hold
and i was so grateful to have the chance just to say in person what i had said to everybody. could you tell hillary that i think she s a total rock star? she s changed the world in a thousand ways. but to be able to say that in person is something that i m immensely grateful to her to have given me that opportunity. you wrote a book called a problem from hell and now i was thinking these are your problems from hell. no longer are you a writer or observer, but you re in a position of power. when i was a writer or a loudmouth pundit, it was very easy at the end of the day to say, i ve spoken my piece. now the discussions we have are internal, you re getting to have these discussions with the president of the united states, with the secretary of state. do you almost feel people are holding up that past life and saying, samantha power can t compromise. she s the one who wrote this book on genocide. i think they re very entitled
i hope to god in next year s election, all of you are booted out. congresswoman fudge, aren t you the lucky one to be the city member at this table. no matter who gets the blame here ultimately, whether people blame the republicans or the democrats, in the end is it just bad for the institution? is it on awful yoll of your hou? yes, it is. there are no winners here. when you talk about shutting down the government and all the stuff that goes around about who is at fault and who is not, and how we should have a clean cr, let me say it is our responsibility to fund the government of the united states and we should not let anyone to extract a ransom for any of us to do our jobs. let s turn to mike murphy, republican strategist. two-thirds of the country don t like the tactic of shutting down the government. even if they don t like obama care, they don t like this tactic. that s the problem. i think we should go back to the problem of the computer sites,
