York. Let me start tonight with this. The march to armageddon advanced a mile today as john boehner buckled to the party right and signed on to kill president obamas Affordable Care act in its crib. It must die, he agrees, if the government is to live. But this surrender by boehner came today as a bugle charge as they lead the republicans into the valley of death. A u. S. Government wronged in the first instance in the ability to function, in the second to become international dead beat. Scarier still is the word from the Republican Voters themselves. 2 3 of whom a, want the debt bill defeated, and b know it will cause great harm to the economy. They know what the right is pushing will hurt the country and are still dead set on doing it. Have we reached a point where one of the countrys two Major Political parties are so mad that they want to bring down the house just to see president obama in the debris. Democrats on the hill are out in full force, of course, warning the public about
First instance in the ability to function, in the second to become international dead beat. Scarier still is the word from the Republican Voters themselves. 2 3 of whom a, want the debt bill defeated, and b know it will cause great harm to the economy. They know what the right is pushing will hurt the country and are still dead set on doing it. Have we reached a point where one of the countrys two Major Political parties are so mad that they want to bring down the house just to see president obama in the debris. Democrats on the hill are out in full force, of course, warning the public about the calamities of a Government Shutdown or a government default. Yesterday Senate Majority leader harry reid called them a bunch of anarchistings. And today nancy pelosi had this to say about the perils of a default. Shutting down the government is one bad thing. You shut it down, you open it up again. Not lifting the debt limit is unleashing a torrent, a river of no return. It is beyond cataclysmi
Reporter i think the motive will take several more days to try to figure out, chris. We are learning more about precisely what was going through apparently the mind of aaron alexis. And it is clear why officials were saying in the last 12 hours or so that his condition was rapidly deteriorating. We know that just last month he called the police in newport, rhode island, where he was working at a contractor up there. He told them he had checked into a hotel after being in two other hotels and moving around because he said he kept hearing voices coming out of the walls or the ceilings or the closet in these rooms. And he was trying to get away from the voices. He thought they were people that were following him. He worried that the voices were people that would cause him harm. He said somebody was using what he called a microwave machine against him to send vibrations that were disturbing his sleep. Shortly after that he sought treatment for psychiatric problems at a va hospital. Now, th
Complicated than any of us realized. The details of that in a discussion is ahead. And last week, we inducted lloyd benson into the debate hall of fame. This week, on another big anniversary, another president ial debate question i want to bring before the hall of fame committee, maybe the hall of shame committee for this one. Either way, a moment that had a Ripple Effect were still feeling and well talk about it. First, once again, it is a sunday morning in october. It is a Holiday Weekend in fact. Happy early columbus day to all of you. Also an nfl sunday. Still eight hours before the marquis game of the day, the saints and the patriots before that kicks off. So we will pass some of the hours between now and then with politics. And some pastries too on the table over there. Also not too early to talk about playbooks and you dont have to follow the nfl to get the concept of a playbook. It is the notebook, where a team keeps all the diagrams of its plays, how it hopes to fake out and b
