reporting live from washington d.c. and of course we'll bring you more details on the shooting incident as soon as we get them here. on r.t. that's our breaking news this hour. thirty people involved in a greenpeace protest have now been charged with piracy by court in russia's north western port city of moments they were arrested after attempting to scale an oil rig in the arctic last month in protest over offshore drilling in the region of greenpeace lawyers are appealing the decision insisting that there was no violence involved and authorities said they pose a serious threat to the security of the platform despite facing up to fifteen years in prison activists are still refusing to give testimony when earlier i spoke to ben alias and he is head of greenpeace is arctic campaign and he believes the region should be off limits for any oil drilling company. but increase has a long history of peaceful protest it was perfectly obvious to the coast guard to the operator of the platform that this was a peaceful protest and

this is the way washington works problem. washington can't do anything. they had two years of meetings and meetings upon meetings and new regulations about the -- they can't manage their way out of a paper bag. the old top down way of doing things in washington, hierarchy can't fix anything. this is the best washington can do. this is the best washington can do and not the worst. so the next election is going to be about that. can we change washington? republicans are going to be the party of change. democrats are going to be the party that says more of the same. >> which republican party will be the party of change? will it be ted cruz party of change? >> the american people will never go back to the status quo where health care is 17% of our gdp. they won't go back to tell women about they existing condition and won't take children on their parents' plan off health care. >> can you take something away from people? can members of congress say, okay, you have this but now we're going to take it away from you? >> it's harder. once you have it, it's much ha

this is what we sent washington -- why we sent people to washington. in washington, we see this right now where people come including my opponent, are saying, we need debtt -- not raise the ceiling. my opponent has no reason to compromise. i love when you said that working together is nonsense. he said, winnie the pooh nonsense. i don't know what is more insulting. the reality is, we need people who will raise the debt ceiling and not play this shutdown politics that plays with the full faith and credit of the united states of america. this kind of brinkmanship has to stop in washington. it hurts our economy. it shrinks jobs. we need people that are going to go to washington, not be fire brands, flamethrowers, but are going to be bridge builders and find ways to make compromise between the parties. yes, i support compromise. yes, i support working together. it's what i've done in newark and what i will do down in washington. >> sin question to you. >> as mayor of pagoda, i was headed democratic-republican counsel. i always had to work with the opposite

it's wonderful to be in washington which was my home for many years. i've done so much of the research for the book. when i told taxi drivers what i was doing. i was writing a biography. most of him have heard of him. he bought alaska. [laughter] and that's right. but what else did he do? what was he like? let me take that last question first. what was he like as a person? during the civil war years, he was in his early 60s. short, lean man with as mas of sort of disorderly gray hair. big nose, almost always a cigar in his mouth, and if it was any time past 5:00 in the evening a glass of wine near the hand. talking, always, always talking. one of his also lived and famous host gathering around his table diplomats, soldiers, politicians, actors, you know, the life of the party. what he ask do? he was secretary of state for eight years under lincoln and president johnson. before that he was a federal senator for 12 years. before that he was governor of new york. maybe i should start there. he was governor of new york in the late 1830s early 1840s when ne

the washington institute also in washington we have michael hughes he is a freelance journalist and foreign policy analyst and into and we cross to ford is id he's a political science professor at the university of toronto and gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i very much encourage it find it's go to you first. do you believe a word that barack obama has to say given the last thirty years of bad relations between the two countries and i'm talking about covert overt operations up to this day. you know. the last ten years cannot be blamed on obama i think he has a sponsible for his own presidency and he has been relatively a better president when it comes to iran and when you compared him to others we have had occasions where the u.s. congress wanted to pass a new sanction against iran and he has opposed those type of sanctions and in his a speech at the u.n. i think he had a couple of good points that it was the first time we have heard that from. u.s. president for example he talked about president rouhani having a mandate from the iranian peop

can you imagine you're in washington, d.c. you're a tourist. maybe you're just going through your workday. you're wrapping up lunch, heading back to work. 2:15, 2:18 in the afternoon, and there was a high-speed chase flying by you. a massive response from any number of law enforcement agencies. and you're trying to get out of the way. you're trying to get back into your office. you're trying to get away from the scene. heavily armed officers on the scene running in various directions. at the end of this is a crash. and gunfire. a woman, a suspect, in the hospital now being treated. we don't know the severity of the injuries or the wounds. a young child involved in this as well who we understand at the moment may be okay. there is at least one, two crashes, an earlier crash before a final crash in which a police officer was injured and airlifted out of a scene. you're in your office, and you hear the gunfire. from outside of your window. just dramatic events. amazing scenes unfolding today. horrible scenes, tragic scenes in washington, d.c. you

but i want to hear from you what you think washington should do? and what are the political implications. >> sure. okay. so i think first of all in terms of what congress should do is enforce the law. this is a federal law, and the issue is this is not about going after people with small amounts -- with a joint or two and saddling them with a criminal record as neil was saying earlier. i don't want to do that, in fact the organization i started project sam talks about how we don't want to saddle people with criminal records if their only crime is smoking a joint. but the issue is those people need treatment, and it hurts our ability to compete in intelligence and education, so i think congress should uphold federal law. in terms of 2016, i cannot imagine that the nominee is going to want to be the president running on the platform running up the big next tobacco. >> i want to get major franklin in the conversation here. if you are not just a policeman on the beat, but if you are a prosecutor, how do you deal with what attorney general eric tolder h

seven or eight hour trip from washington d.c. to spokane, there's no direct flight so i have to fly some place and get to spokane but it is quiet time, time for me to do some reading, catch up on notes that i want to write or just have time to myself so i enjoy that time. so i get home, it varies in the course of the year but i would take two or three times a month and we have a least once a month district work period where we can go home for an entire week and i maximize those days, get the district, have a large district and ten counties, a lot to get around the district. we are making it work. at the beginning, brian would travel back and forth with me and even after cole was born we tried having them in spokane and die was going back and forth every weekend, which was a long trip to make every week and i found i was tired and still have limited time with the family. i find that it is working better to have the family based here in washington d.c. where i can go home some evenings and be with them and we have our time together

people are completely fed up with washington. a moment when our economic recovery demands more jobs, more momentum, we've got yet another self-inflicted crisis that set economy back, and for what? gwen: for what, indeed. among the questions we'll be tackling tonight but first, the question so many itricans are asking, how did come to this. dan? i thought you'd know the answer to that one. well, i mean, it's been building for a long time, as we threend i think there are elements that came together in this particular moment. one is the growing polarization. we've talked about this repeatedly around this table, twosorting out of the parties. one farther apart from the other long time seen in a and we see that definitely in the house of representatives. vast difference, now, in how people view certain issues, how the two parties view certain issues. there is very little common ground on some of these big issues. ors either we're all for it we're all against it and the third, frankly, is the rise of party and the arrival of a faction

in washington, d.c. what are the global ramifications according to the president on this? >> reporter: well, david, it's clear the administration is trying to shift the focus from the budget deadlock which hurts the american economy to the global. two weeks from today the government will not have enough money to pay its bills and would default on its debt. we're hearing from officials from the imt, economists, ceo ceos, some of the possible scenarios, the financial markets freak out and they stop lending money. interest rates skyrocket. that's the picture the president was paint be for the audience today. >> obama: the united states is the center of the world economy, if we screw up the everybody gets screwed up. the whole world will have problems. which is why generally ever thought to threaten not to pay our bills. it would be the height of irresponsibility. >> he is also, patty, trying to sell his plan, his high ground, if you like, to the american people. >> reporter: he is. this is what it really co

it is all about washington. dow up 400 point in the last two trading sessions. >> let's talk about it in today's "closing bell" exchange with rich peterson, sam barnett, michele caruso cabrera, who is heading to the imf meetings and rick, who is not. >> >> earnings are never more important at this quarter given the absence of the report from the government. a week we saw estimates for third quarter, s&p capital, break below 3% now to 2.9%. we're seeing year over year declines in energy, consumer discretionary and in telecom. yesterday we had headlines in terms of the energy sector whereby chevron announced their third quarter numbers won't match second quarter return. proximal good signs in technology area from hp, where first half of the year, year over year declines, we've seen gains from first to third quarter. >> we're seeing this shutdown as rich said, earnings are now coming in a bit. we're seeing this shutdown impact, anticipation about the economy and certainly the earnings period. what are you expecting

it's all about the republicans people are not happy with washington d.c. let granite unlike you all i will admit that there were there people are not going to the public and then i have to the democrats all i'm saying is during this presidency there's been more of a stalemate and problems than any other time certainly with president bush and president clinton ok you know patricia i kind of like that you know passing the buck because obama got stuck holding the bag here over because of what's been done for the last fifty years sixty years in the united states and he got caught with it ok i don't see it as being different parties involved here it's more a way of governing the economy and foreign policy we haven't mentioned that too much here but it's just he got caught with it and now hard decisions have to be made well yeah i mean we've gone into debt because we've had two wars over the last twelve years and one in iraq and afghanistan in case we've forgotten about that and that seems to have been forgotten by you know a lot of the tea party members those w

future may be here in washington. many people say it is deeply hypocrital, because of the way the economist party runs the economy. it is not an economy like the u.s. certainly there would not be room for discussion, like in the u.s., but it led to great innovation in the u.s. economy, according to most economists. >> yeah, it has been described as a corporate leninist economy, whatever that may marine. a good day in downtown beijing, thank you, david. >>> corporate lenin, interesting, let's take a quick break, when we come back, could the west be months away from striking a nuclear deal with iran? we'll tell you about the diplomatic discusses in geneva. also, with the deal signed in washington, the washington blame game is under way. >> it is one of the more shameful chapters that i have seen in the years spent here in the senate. new brakes help you stop faster and safer. that's why they deserve... a brake dance. get 50% off new brake pads and shoes. >>> the republicans remain determined to repeal this terrible law.

is fresh revelations of spying european leaders force them to reconsider their partnerships with washington now france and germany are demanding talks with the u.s. on this issue by the end of the year that followed reports that the n.s.a. has monitoring chancellor merkel's mobile phone and calls made by the french administration the latest on a single leak has shown that the agency encouraged u.s. government officials to hand over their contact list and used that data to eavesdrop on the conversations of thirty five world leaders well european council has issued a statement warning that a lack of trust with washington could damage cooperation and intelligence gathering on top of that germany has decided to team up with brazil which was also targeted by the n.s.a. to push for a u.n. resolution restraining u.s. surveillance r.t.s. are silly as more on the story. the latest document that edward snowden there provided the guardian we do see some some more insight into the process of how this global surveillance was actually working and the fact that it had spied on the thirty five world leader

in washington he's a senior fellow with the washington institute also in washington we have michael hughes he is a freelance journalist and foreign policy analyst and into and we cross to ford is id he's a political science professor at the university of toronto and gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i very much encourage it find it's go to you first. do you believe a word that barack obama has to say given the last thirty years of bad relations between the two countries and i'm talking about covert overt operations up to this day. you know. the last ten years cannot be blamed on obama i think he's responsible for his own presidency and he has been relatively a better president when it comes to iran and when you compared him to others we have had occasions where the u.s. congress wanted to pass a new sanction against iran and he has opposed those type of sanctions and in his speech at the u.n. . and he had the couple of good points that was the first time we have heard that from the u.s. president for example he talked about president rouhani ha

washington has moved on from. it makes me furious. >> david, are you still in the white house, how would you handle this website crisis of which there are two parts. one is the public discussion of it. and the management and the public discussion of it from the white house perspective. then actually fixing the problem, which is of course the much more important part. >> that is the most important part of it. if i was in the white house. as i'm sure they are, kicking a bunch of folks in the butt every day to make sure that what need to be done is being done. i think they also need to be -- they need to be forthcoming with the public. report on a regular basis as the to the progress is being made. problems that are being addressed. so people understand there is work underway. this has been shrouded in mystery. i don't quite understand why that is. i think it is better to be straight forward about it. you know people, on the cover of "the washington post" today. front page of "the washington post," the website for co

so that in "the washington post." related to the healthcare in the "washington times," here's another headline. judge keeps challenge to obamacare alive. host: that's the headline in many of the papers this morning about the affordable care act. we'll go to don next in cincinnati, ohio. hi, don. caller: hello. thank god for c-span, by the way. i was a republican for years. the party left me in the last two elections. i'm now independent. the gentleman that was talking about the tea party, i'm sure there are a lot of one-vote people in the tea party. unfortunately, they come across as idealogue who refuse to listen to anybody or amend their feelings about anything, and i think mike lee and ted cruz have probably ruined the republican party for years to come because they've all bothered them. my really big rejection about the way the republicans are acting now is that we're not discussing anything except obamacare, and we have so many other things that we need to be taking care of, such as the farm bill, the immigration

live from washington d.c. i mean he said now with special coverage of the government shutdown now the deadline to block will has possibly come to an end america just barely avoiding default and agreeing to raise the debt ceiling at the last minute so the u.s. can keep borrowing beyond its almost seventeen trillion dollars in debt well sixteen days of a government shutdown halted the capital to a standstill put hundreds of thousands of workers out of jobs and the world economy on the verge of recession this deal would reopen the government and fund it until january fifteenth allowing it to continue borrowing until february the seventh so really it's just a temporary fix well to discuss this joining me are gerald levin publisher of the journal and curtis ellis executive director of american jobs alliance in london we have mr keith boy field a researcher for the center for policy studies and here in ross washington with me is neil mccabe senior reporter at human events thank you all very much for joining me i wan

is are they obeying washington. you know us as a record of killing suspected terrorists was drones and this time it seems like the u.s. has taken a different approach by putting the boots on the ground why do you think that happened and why is attacks it's different this time i think obama's trying to look a little stronger and also the drone attacks have lost a lot of credibility a lot of times they say they killed him to kill or member of al qaeda hierarchy and then that person turns out to still be alive which begs the question who do they actually kill they've also accidentally or not killing a lot of civilians with drones. then they've been doing the double tap in pakistan and yemen where they actually have been attacking. the responders who come and so a lot of americans are opposed to drone attacks and maybe that boots on the ground was a tactical switch as much to feed the public in the u.s. as it was to actually be effective. compare the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi which killed four american di

we left washington ecma four, 1961, 13 of us. to test a division of the united states supreme court. been in segregation on public transportation. my seatmate on the greyhound bus from washington d.c., you must understand and 1961, black people in white people couldn't be seated together. .. assist the charges against him. well, for the two of us we arrived at a little greyhound bus station in south carolina. a group of white men met us in the doorway and started beating us and left us lobbying in a pool of blood and the officials came up and wanted to know whether we wanted to press charges. we said no we believe and of love and peace and nonviolence. i didn't know at that time may 9th, 1961 that this man was wilson, years later in february february 09 after president barack obama had been inaugurated he came to my office on capitol hill to seek out the peace grown. mr. lewis, will you forgive me? i want to apologize. i'm sorry. they hugged me. i hugged them back and i saw him since then he recently passed. but it demonstrated t

washington institute also in washington we have michael hughes he is a freelance journalist and foreign policy analyst and into and we cross to ford is id he's a political science professor at the university of toronto and gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i very much encourage it so i'm it's go to you first. do you believe a word that barack obama has to say given the last thirty years of bad relations between the two countries and i'm talking about covert overt operations up to this day. you know. the last ten years cannot be blamed on obama i think he's responsible for his own presidency and he has been relatively a better president when it comes to iran when you compared him to others we have had occasions when the u.s. congress wanted to pass a new sanction against iran and he has opposed those type of sanctions and in his speech at the u.n. i think he had a couple of good points that was the first time we have heard that from. u.s. president for example he talked about president rouhani having a mandate from iranian people basically r

in washington, d.c. people waited for in-person help enrolling for obama care until the website stopped working. the website blamed heavy traffic when it began posting error messages. president obama called the glitches temporary. >> we are going to be speeding things up to handle all of this demand that exceeds anything that we accepted. >> reporter: nate matthews is seeking insurance. his part-time job doesn't offer care. >> we have a family history of lymphoma. so it would be wise to be covered. >> reporter: applicants must enroll by december 15 to be covered starting january 1 but they have until march 31 to sign up for health care and avoid tax penalties. i'm danielle leigh, nbc news. >>> one of the busiest airports in florida is back open for business after a security scare prompted a massive shutdown. the jacksonville international airport was closed for nearly five hours last night. police found two suspicious packages. one was destroyed after it was deemed to have a destructive nature. fbi is in

thank you washington being open for business finally made you money. stocks rallied on thursday the s a& p 500 an index of the most important companies in american closed at and all time high. the number is 1733. if your investments are diversified you may hold it in your 401k or the ira. it's up 21 and a half percent this year it's double the long term average. we have two months to go this year. which is plenty of time for fresh new fiscal battles in washington to stave off those -e off those gains. stock rallies aside one thing that can sustain economic recovery is stronger job creation. congress was busy pushing america to the edge they were ignoring the precarious employment situation to the country. we don't know how many jobs were added before the shutdown because of the shutdown. the federal government will rye release the jobs report on tuesday. but we do know the number of jobs added every month up until august have been inconsistent. big gain months offset by small gain months. to sustain the recovery we should be adding 200,000 net new jobs

andrea mitchell, nbc news, washington. >>> this is tom costello 75 miles from washington in red republican culpepper, virginia. but at the frost cafe on main street where burgers, fries, and grits are on the midday menu, the talk today was whether the government shutdown is to anyone's advantage. >> how can it be an advantage to put people out of work in this economy to solve their problems? >> i voted republican my whole life, but this time i don't care who's running. i'm voting for someone who didn't have the job. >> reporter: 25% of county residents work for the federal government. many of them are now out of work. and much needed tourism has dried up as the nearby shenandoah national park is closed. an online poll conducted by the local paper show half blame the shutdown on the president, the other half on congress. this once-solid republican state has voted for president obama twice. still suspicion towards washington runs deep. >> old virginia may be outvoted, but if anything that's reinforced their anti-washington sentiments. they're cheering in some places the federal government sh

washington dc has turned a lot -- washington, d.c. has turned a lot of people off. he also made some sense on issues that appeal to the civil libertarian streak in millennials. up next from is chattanooga, tennessee on our line for democrats. you were on with matthew segal of ourtime. caller: thank you for taking my call. hear me out on this. i have a couple of things. as far as the exchanges, i think the millennials should have had a chance to design the website, apps, something like devcon bringing the brightest and the best to set up the websites. guest: i agree with you. caller: just like the 401(k)'s, you had pensions in the old days. now, with the affordable care act, you did to take your insurance with you. the world has changed. and millennials should be in control of that. your job does not depend on your insurance. thirdly, you have got childhood obesity and early-onset diabetes. those are precondition -- those are pre-existing conditions and young babel had to deal with that going forward. i think you should add that to your talking points to young people

a lot of folks in washington confused. i assume, zain, investors on wall street are confused, as well. >> absolutely. you can say that again, yeah. investors cautious right now. we keep this back and forth between democrats and republicans. we got some reinsurance yesterday from mitch mcconnell and harry reid only to wake up to hear that the house has been working on its own bill. every time traders think they are close to a deal, the goal post moves again. traders are really frustrated about this idea of these continuous short-term fixes. if you look at the latest proposal, this time they're staggering the deadlines so the next time around they do have more room to negotiate. it's almost as if they're preparing for another political stalemate which doesn't bode well for the markets. wall street is hungry for this to be over. we have seen four straight days of gains partly because we've had so much talk of a deal. wall street really needs something concrete right now. >> the dow jones down 47 points right now. the ramifica

washington is still dysfunctional. how exposed do you want to be to this market or to this economy if you feel like the longer term picture is getting worse? >> i don't know. it depends on whether you think that, a, the people in d.c. are going to let us go over theboro verbial cliff. there's still a big bet that people think that's not going to happen. if you think it's going to happen, it changes your entire mindset about where you want to be in the market. >> i think tina fordham at citi puts it nicely, she calls it the near heart attack. you're going to keep getting these moments where there's big jumps and a selloff. >> but the market is not believing anymore. i would argue they're almost -- i'll believe it when i see it if you guys really are going -- you're terrible, we hate you but you're not that stupid. that at least seems to be -- >> i wonder what the 300-point rally will do to the whole conversation. it may have the same kind of impact as a decline would. now the pressure is on. you don't want to give it ba

. >> look, i think part of living in washington, i think people to some degree accept that washington is a target. the white house would be a target. the capital would be a target. certainly in the climate of what's been going on in washington, i think there was a lot of anxiety about what was driving this, what was going on. but also i think that's coupled with the sort of ongoing reminder that washington is a place, the president of the united states lives there. that is a person who can be a target. that's part of what was gripping people yesterday in terms of what was happening, why is this happening. >> yeah. i will say on an upbeat note, the president and vice president are taking a walk to get a sandwich according to the latest. there they are. that's a good thing to see after yesterday. >> the secret service is there to wrestle the sandwich to the ground. >> should that lettuce get out of control. >> thank you to karen and eugene. see you back monday at 12:00 eastern. andrea mitchell is next. ♪ [ male announcer ] you know that family? the one whose eye for design is apparent

so it's good. >> here in washington, d.c., your district is in washington state. you're a mother, wife, representative, part of the leadership. how do you juggle it all? >> a whole team of people, i often say, that make it possible. i might be out front. but first of all, the tremendous support of my husband. retired from the navy. never been married, never been a dad. dreaming of that happening in his life. now he didn't necessarily imagine living in washington, d.c. and being mr. mom. but he is embracing this at this time in our lives and is -- i couldn't ask for more support from brian. >> how did you meet him? >> i met him at a canteen barbecue right at -- it was the summer after i was elected to congress. his sister had worked on my campaign. and she invited him to this campaign barbecue to introduce me to another volunteer's daughter. and at the end of the evening, he said, maureen, i think i would like to meet kathy. so that is how we met. then we started corresponding. the first date was up at the naval academy. he's a naval academy grad. and he invited me

this, to me, is an epic battle over washington versus america. and i hope america wins. >> it's almost three weeks now. it started largely because house republicans kept on passing the measured that had some kind of direct impact on obama care and the senate would not take that up. you're still talking about it, sounds like insisting on those measures. they're still a requirement for you to pass anything? >> you mentioned that that was republicans. the last proposal that we submitted to the president, which he rejected was that we delayed the individual mandate, allow it to be voluntary, allow it to keep going but voluntary for americans like it is for big business and then get rid of the special dispen sags created for members of congress. that measure had a bunch of democrats on our vote. i think it's reasonable. i think that ultimately the american people are speaking very loudly about trying to get some relief and i think we ought to give it to them. >> last question. better than fifty-fifty chance that we'll get out of this by thursday? or d

"the washington post" is upset the washington area may lose $200 million per day. good. i want washington to have less money. they are drowning in dough. >> beautiful. >> all glass walls. >> all glass walls. >> this is a steel. john: the crisis continues. some of washington shut down the city covered is bear that is why they cannot negotiate. >> there is no more cuts to make. john: washington must be broke not that you would notice if you would look around. >> consider where they work the architecture is ggand and office buildings resemble thousand. >> it looks like for side before the french revolution their whole lives they spent their life there in did dawn know what happened outside the world that is like washington. john: is that a harsh comparison? knows says david boaz you worked in washington it is like for size. >> it is great getting richer all the time i bought a house there it you can write it up but prices did not decline when there was a receion and the rest of the country of the jobs are still there and people make a lot of money. john: for a out of five r

they totally took over washington. i wanted to talk to cory booker as this young up and coming future star democratic politician about what that meant for him, what that meant for the party and whether that signalled some sort of larger shift in our country's politics. >> even in my state, i met republicans who were so excited about voting for barack obama not because he was a democrat, not because he was a black guy, but because they thought he was going to lift our country to our highest aspirations for ourselves. i think obama has a pragmatism about him, he will explain ideas to the american people not using the tired liberal parlance. he will be explaining to people in a way that touches people's hearts and compel them to act and work with us. >> just a few months later, even before barack obama was sworn in as president, republicans in washington decided that they would not work with him on anything during his presidency. nothing, no matter what. they voted unanimously against the president's first big initiative,
