From nbc news in washington, meet the press with david gregory. Substituting today, Savannah Guthrie. Good evening, everyone. The latest on the shutdown in a moment, but first the leader in bombings in kenya and tanzania. Tanzania is now in u. S. Custody. It ends a 15year manhunt. He was seized in broad daylight near the tripoli capital on saturday. He will be brought to the u. S. To stand trial. An alshabab leader linked to the kenya Shopping Mall attack was linked to a town in southern
0 a residence in libya, and that s critical for out nithe united s. it s a place that s lawless at times. the fact he felt safer going from iran to libya is very worrisome for the u.s. operation incredibly risky. why would they take that risk, and what do you make of the fact that it wasn t ultimately successful? the u.s. has targeted al-shabab for several years now, but we re always nervous about going in. the reason we wanted to go after him is because he is leadership and he s the driver of the al-shabab travel agenda, and that was especially after nairobi. not getting him is bad because he s still in somalia, but we also didn t get the intelligence we hoped to gather from a raid. we turn now to day 6. government shutdown. no agreement in sight. senator rand paul will be joining me from kentucky in a moment, but first let s turn to treasury secretary jack lew here in washington. the administration behind closed doors, the shutdown can go on as long as it wants because it s

member of the body could have brought forth his amendment. you re correct it was not submitted to the rules committee. it was offered in the committee of jurisdiction on which i also serve. and i argued, you might recall, to the chair yesterday that this bill is a fine candidate for an open rule, given that there s nothing else this body is doing today and we re getting done at 1:30, we might as well allow amendments like mr. bishop s and others to be debated by the house, considered by the full house. i also want to discuss something the gentlelady said, miscarkization of the opponents of this bill somehow saying the private sector is bad or government s good. i haven t heard anybody argue that. the private sector is great. private sector is the chief engine of economic growth. this discussion is about the private sector. it s the other side trying to model policies that they say already exist in the public sector and force the private sector to comply with them. we are not
