with. my prayer today is that we ll be able to work together and pass the legislation under our respective jurisdictions. i think there was a good mood in the chamber today. i would hope that those who want to use any opportunity to disrupt the country would do what s right for the nation. people of this country want us to govern, move the country forward, not to have the threats of shutdown, shutdown, shutdown. representatives paul tomko and marcy kaptur. thank you very much. great to join you. several presidential candidates were on the hill today. then i ll join leaders of other faiths to get their take on the pope s visit. then the effect this is having on christianity as a whole. it s your grandpappy s hammer and he would have wanted you to have it. it meant a lot to him. yes, ge makes powerful machines. but i ll be writing the code
business now talking about government funding and planned parenthood, but i think there s still a feeling here seeing lawmakers interacting that at least this day there s sort of a breath let out and people are just enjoying how special it really was. let s hope that that is a sentiment of good will that lasts there in washington, d.c. kelly o donnell, thank you so much. i m joined now by two democrats who are in the house for the pope s address. new york representative paul tomko, ohio representative marcy kaptur. one of the lane blockers for the congressman, i understand. is that right? you had to make sure their colleagues didn t get too overzealous? well, i hadn t heard that term, but obviously we wanted to maintain proper decorum in the chamber for a visiting head of state. in this case, the vatican, the holy see. it was an extraordinary moment, not just to the members there today but, i think paul would agree, for history. absolutely.
congressman tomko, you seemed especially excited about the pope s pronouncements on climate change. once he leave, do you thing tk t you and your republican colleagues will actually be able to get something done or will it be business as usual? i surely hope so. i believe the pope s message was bold but his style, his delivery is gentle. and he can throw the seed out there, it s up to us to nibble. i would hope that with such an effort made, time, energy and the like, to be here and to share a message not just for those of catholic faith or christian block but for the entire world. believers and nonbeliever, we need to take heed of that message. he did say that we as humans contribute to that pollution and so it s our responsibility. i do like that he stressed that the government and politics in general, if it s good to speak
