bottom ash I'm are you with you and broadcasting live from washington DC and
also live in
Washington DC congressman Charlie Rangel I US congressman from the 13th district
and wrangle reng yelled out house stud gov
in my opinion one of the most thoughtful insightful knowledgeable and
distinguished members of the United States
House of Representatives arm the
congressman charles Rangel I should say a congressman rangel welcome back to the
program
thank you Tom I only wish is that my wife got a very everything their chips
I what was I we'll send you a tape
I a I'm
I'm you were apparently in the Capitol building if I have before we get to the
politics of the day
collided wanna talk with you about the government shutdown you have lived
through you were in the house are present his back during the Clinton era
when
when new gingrich try to pull this stunt on I want to get to that but just first
ball what
what's the latest that you're hearing about this person
I CBS's reporting was apparently a woman who was driving this SUV
well let me tell you you'll now just as much as I from the outside but on the
inside
there was a in new Congress Ben
that was challenge in this chair the chair was screaming
that he was outta or did he was continuing to speak
and it was very unusual because the Youngs
the young fella either didn't know the house rules is it care but the house
rules
and the chair was at and that at same time this is going on and I was talking
with
congress in the manual cleaver congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and Congress
Ben
a low John Lewis
swing open the cap the doors and they're running in
I thought maybe this large it all was
going to his chest ties which I've never
retard remember that was speaking even though he was in recognize which had
never heard of that the best in
instead they stripped down with a lady
and toll me that they were shooting
outside of the capital and that
they were locking it down well I saw them come to read online as I went to
to open its doors was locked fence cellco
we all were locked into the capital
we put on the television that was no information
we they would know Capitol Police
hey they're not allowed on the capital's flogged the
congress and soul we
did have a television in what we call
the corporate one in a democratic one republican
and it was there that we found out that
there was somebody that they had shot up something around here and there
and then ultimately they let us out of the capital that tell us to take
tunnel to get to officers that were locked out
I had it knock on their door and identify myself to get into
my office sense that time the
lockdown has been lifted a the police
a I guess very confident that there was not a
a second shooter the doors are locked and I'm here talking with a constituent
mmm
remarkable story up by the way was the
the member who refused to stop talkin a
a a tea partier no
we was a eat could he was saying that
as a new member he could not understand
how one person could risk
the XB be capital
be close how 1 percent a
could be responsible fortnight raising
be that sealy and causing a fiscal calamity
us he was objecting to john bainer basically yes n
and and and I have all day is been saying
that with all love the
power was at up corporate structure has circulated
individually the trillions of dollars
that out there that they have been able to prosper
during the recession and while so many people are unemployed
and then on the other side the religious leaders speak
is who don't listen to the pope but they
*** race-based say that you know
that Jesus would want them to have
food for the hungry and water for that very speed
Holsworthy naked and and health care for the sect
and every thing that we trying to
to is spiritual as well as political and legislative
and I don't wait call the church getting together in telling that congress
stop this nonsense I don't recall
the private sector the the the the the ball called
p the billionaires saying I got my money through the American system for
type sake don't kill this cool so what the american economy go down the drain
yeah and there's only one thing that could stop
there said that is john bainer wakes up one morning
and he says that he has given as much as he can
250 a40 a50 Member Service party
and they have wrecked a party they have wrecked the leadership
they have wrecked congress in terms of working together
but I beat Damacy scuttle at have wrecked the country
and he would be maybe not speaker that blog
but he certainly would be a national hero that would have
look like this say via a bad economy
about country and it's only takes have just a really shouldn't have a boat
that's all give us a bolt
mmm in other words there is a clean continuing resolution
to keep the government running bill that the senate-passed
and sent back to the house on John banners desk and if he simply put this
to a vote in the House representatives
it would almost certainly pass and he's refusing to allow the members the house
both
is republicans and you in the Democratic caucus
he's refusing to allow you members of the House of Representatives re-engineer
congressman charles Rangel
a few York is refusing to allow you to vote on this continuing resolution
and the bus he yeah a one single
member of the house representatives is single-handedly keeping the government
closed is that an accurate statement
that is act where there what makes it more painful two are democrats
is that the amount of money the ninety-six
billion dollars is far below what every democrat
thinks it's necessary to spur the economy and provide incentives
for infrastructure in for jobs and for
for this and help the poor we think that number
is small but we know we can fight about it if the government is closed
and so we're saying what the president's challenger Republican
keep the government alt then and then continue to show the differences have
opinions we have with the budget and with other issues
any swelling the president is willing to debate the issues
but he's not willing to allow them
to attempt to shot out the Affordable Care
just a pressure wanted to do it he couldn't do it
and they know this john bainer is intelligent
professional politician and he
knows that the president has had not
Jess repeal laws
remarkable by the way just as an update here's this is the latest
via I Channel seven ABC the a/c ABC TV affiliate here in washington DC
and their reporting and I'll just read their report
from WJLA authority shot and killed a woman
Thursday afternoon outside the US Capitol after she attempted to drive her
vehicle through a barricade
police tell abc7 the incident reportedly began when
unidentified woman tried to drive through a barricade at the White House
your child the back seat of her vehicle
the woman fled the area and ended up at the capitol where she reportedly tried
to drive through another barricade
authorities opened fire on the vehicle killing the woman authorities say
and that they report a child in the vehicle is
is unharmed so the same as it doesn't make sense to many people heard gunshots
on hell
yeah run Senate South yeah well apparently swerved deal with it by
shooting at our car pretty aggressively
so but world we'll see how this story plays out well everyone safe and
I ice rink and the Capitol Police a
they if we don't thank them enough every day
well and in fact check: congressman rangel the victoria jones a target users
is our program earlier and she said that
her understanding is that the pay for the Capitol Police will stop in about a
week if the government continues to be shut down
oh my god I i cant believe
now I I don't think that's true it
now with brings being so bad almost any room right now
looks like you're it could make some sense but
the see you can bet your life time that their security
%uh members of congress would not be lessened by this no pain is being felt
by the people they're shutting down the government at all
as a matter fact dole inconveniences
the people that are holding John bania
a hostage when
is Avery's fused to accept clean continued wrestle a *** resolution
worst was shouting and laughing
with Kalie me some people in this country
that hate government so much and Obama as well
that they are willing to see this government collapsed
with some are drinking that they can rebuild it
with the ideology in there in the image Irvine ran this government the George
Washington had three horses shot out from under him to create they're trying
to take it down
it's a means and eight and they think they tried to take it down
but they enjoy medicare they enjoy
so security the enjoys the benefits of being protected from
this government that that you fought and in career that were to be found if I'm
member member incredulous not only did I fight but this so many young people that
off with their lives to have just picked up a bit not testing
right but they can improve comment congressman charles Rangel
the 13th district in New York wrangle that has dug up thank you sir
thank you john
