government. that s exactly what they said. no. that is what ted cruz oh, ted cruz is part of it. what congress voted, what the republicans voted was to keep the government going and defund obama care. the president then says you don t fund obama care i am not negotiating. there is nothing to negotiate at that point, is there, brad? take over. judge, the president brought this on himself. the president s law was passed, obama care, no doubt about it, but the way you repeal it and amend it is going back to congress. the president unilaterally went beyond his authority by amending his own law and excludeing businesses for a year and the republicans said if it s good enough for businesses why not the individual? the fact of the matter s. the president by his own fiat said i am not going to negotiate. it takes three to tango. the president, the house and the senate.
they forget. they are not thinking it s only five or ten minutes. they forget it s so, so dangerous. indra can tell us. she s live in central park. when are we going to get relief? it s going to be awhile. we are talking about ten minutes from 80 degrees in a vehicle to 100. this is the coolest time of the day. the sun is about to come up. it s 82 degrees. imagine that, by the peak summer hours, we are feeling like 105. that s the starting point. the danger is high. i want to show you where the map looks like or what it looks like on the map. how many states are dealing with the heat. every state had a temperature of 90 degrees or above yesterday, excludeing new mexico. we are not alone in the heat. the difference is the dry heat versus all the humidity that we are dealing with. so much moisture. 70% humidity in the morning. in the afternoon, 30, 40, 50%.
and actually you ve never testified before a jury before, have you? excluding in a court like this? you mean excludeing grand jurys? correct. yes, this is the first time i ve actually testified before a jury in a criminal case. in an expert capacity. i ve testified, obviously, as an officer in a criminal case numerous times. yes. you ve testified against police officers, right? testified against police officers? yes, sir. i have been presented with cases that i found that the officer was wrong, yes, sir. i mean, you ve testified to that? that went through deposition. correct. not through trial. i mean under oath. oh, yes, sir. all right. but you ve never testified in a case like this where one person i mean in court where one person shoots another and the shooter is claiming self-defense? no. this is the first time i ve ever was presented with something like this.
i wish more of the issues that we were dealing with today had that kind of power and resonance. you mentioned essie, we have a quick bite from her. let s listen. it s become increasingly uncomfortable for me to endorse an event that is in some ways excludeing and in many ways marginalizing this core group of gay conservatives. these are people who have worked doubly hard on our behalf, having to reconcile their private lives with their political lives. again, that was s.e. cupp talking about what you mentioned from cpac. while i have you quickly, i want to end with something about the sequester. are we starting to see at this point some signs that congressional gridlock may be easing with this. maybe we think that this may be it? no, rich? no. i take the speaker at his word. he s been saying this right straight through.
plan that wasn t paid for. paul ryan supported it and rick san te san telesupported it. if you get along with the other side, you re not sufficiently conservative. let them boil in their own stew because these people, by excludeing chris christie have shown their hands and a great service to the conservative movement. so many people are shams and not true conservatives. we can see it now. they don t care about winning. they care about hate, resentment, selling books, talk radio, things in the end keep us out of the white house for another generation. there s games going on in washington right now quite frankly the right could be doing better at. they re not. you wonder why and you look at this and there s the answer.
