they ll take away some of our entitlements just because we were born male. and there s no way to reassure that, that we re not interested in doing to them what they ve done to us. but pelosi on her feet, alone, you re absolutely right in that room, in the red dress, pointing her finger, all i could think of was, pence is involved in a lot of this murky stuff, too. and third in line is the speaker. be still, my heart. well, that would be, i mean, that would be a constitutional catacly cataclysm, i think, for that to happen. i can dream. well, in some ways the point you just made, what s palpable in watching the impeachment proceedings, epitomized in the image today is priecisely the idea of backlash, unfairness, people used to being in power suddenly without power. in the literal sense of the house caucus that was a majority, now a minority, they don t like it. that s the sort of that s the writ large drama of american politics at this moment it seems to me. it s the writ smal
absolutely right. i would like to see washington deal with that debt but this is not the way to do it. not the context. don t do it on the edge of catacly cataclysm. how do you do it? negotiate budgets in a normal way, not one chamber refuse to go to conference or write a budget for years. congressman grimm, good to have you on again. when we come back, words about the government shutdown. one word we re hearing a lot is hostage. americans take care of business. they always have. they always will. that s why you take charge of your future. your retirement.

deadline. it s true in our normal lives and we forget members of congress are actually people, too, and everyone knows that feeling when friday s coming around and you have to get something done before the weekend we have that effect with deadlines. where i differ with ezra, i think the white house has treated every deadline like a nuclear opportunity. in the tax cuts example, if taxes went up for a week or two, you d have room to bargain, which is different than shutting down the government or a bigger catacly cataclysm. what we ve seen over and over, president obama does not want to be caught holding the bag, that s where you see compromises. some something like the debt ceiling, where that s absolutely has a deadline? right. you don t want to back off that or don t ask, don t tell, something kicked around for literally years, what we finally saw was the end of the session being an opportunity to beat the filibusters. amy, repealing health care, on the top of many republicans
