pay. they have college loans to pay, and it is grotesquely unfair that this is happening to them. they re under a lot of anxiety, and it s just wrong. senator bernie sanders of vermont, always a pleasure. thank you so much. thank you. coming up he s hurt, but he said, i m paraphrasing, but not much. he said, i work every day to make sure you re safe. and when he says me, he s not talking about me, he s talking about us. my thoughts are with him for a speedy recovery and again my administration goes to all federal law enforcement, but especially our capitol police. that was senator harry reid, himself a former u.s. capitol police officer, i learned that today, talking about his conversation with the officer who was injured today during the incident in washington, d.c. there is a great irony to all of the collective administration and outpouring we saw from congress today for these folks and we will talk about it, coming up. lyrics: take on me.
defunding obama care? listen, i ve i support defunding obama care, but we ve already given that up in our third pitch to the united states senate. we re saying, let s treat individuals no, but here s the thing the same way we treat corporations and labor unions. but here s what it looks like right now. this is how i understand the shutdown. the republicans are shutting down the government because the president and harry reid won t let them un-shut down certain parts of the government. that s not the case at all. but that s all you re talking about no one s talking about obama care. we have agreed to un-fund in one of our offers to the senate, we agreed to un-fund 100% of the government, including obama care, which was a stretch for me as a conservative. all we were asking was that individuals not be fined if they don t sign up, if they choose not to. anybody who wants to can. that was our last offer. but congressman, i just want us to be honest here. the rea
well, i was leaving a meeting in the capitol, going back to my office at the dirkson office building. and about halfway there, i heard these police cars driving furiously down constitutional avenue. their sirens blaring. and then just at that point, i heard four or five gunshots. and, you know, one began then you began to see a whole lot of police officers converging on the scene, telling people to get down, get down. another senator and i ducked behind a car and then we were escorted back into the capitol. it was remarkable to me how efficiently and quickly the capitol police seemed to get the situation under control, keep the lockdown, and then they lifted the lockdown, and then, actually, the congress resumed business in the afternoon. no, that s that s absolutely right. a, these guys are very well trained. and they do a good job. second of all, i think people are on edge. everybody remembers the two or
the same way we treat corporations and labor unions. but here s what it looks like right now. this is how i understand the shutdown. the republicans are shutting down the government because the president and harry reid won t let them un-shut down certain parts of the government. that s not the case at all. but that s all you re talking about no one s talking about obama care. we have agreed to un-fund in one of our offers to the senate, we agreed to fund 100% of the government, including obama care, which was a stretch for me as a conservative. all we were asking was that individuals not be fined if they don t sign up, if they choose not to. anybody who wants to can. that was our last offer. but congressman, i just want us to be honest here. the reason you want to delay the individual mandate is because you don t like obama care and you want to get rid of it. i don t understand hiding the ball. a week ago, at least, your caucus was being honest about this. you guys do
things. one is that as the story came out that she was able to make her way, the mile and a half from the white house to the capitol, and second of all, that the well, that part, i think, is not very surprising, because once you get away from the immediate area around the white house, the only thing that s going to prevent you from getting to the capitol is traffic. right. 2:15 on a day when the capitol is going through a shutdown, a lot of federal employees are not here, the traffic is not heavy as usual. she just was, you know, obviously, she wasn t concerned about her safety at any of these points. she s blasting through red lights, going at a very high speed. but she does, i mean, i think it s telling that i don t know if she knew where she was going. pennsylvania avenue to the u.s. capitol is a fairly direct route, from the white house to the base of capitol hill. whether she knew that she was that was her next destination or not, she headed to the same to the part o
