baby after birth. to defend the dignity of every person, i am asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother's womb. >> and that was it. >> that was really the total of it. it needs a lot of context, though. that's in reference to a interview the governor game and our to wtop colleague talking about a late-term abortion bill being legislature.the the governor would say his comments were grossly mischaracterized and t nt bill longer pending. >> and we also want to note that president trump did not make any reference to the story aboutgo rnor northam that we're talking about this week, which is those racist photos on is yearbook page. >> no comments about that whatsoever. there were also no comments about the federal workers, the federal workforce or the furloughs. really the shutdown.

there was one quote. he said we are ten days away or there are ten days left to get a budget deal to avert the shutdown. at really was the totality of his comments about the federal workers, again, a number of which were invited here for the event tonight. >>no indeed. hank you, no appreciation for the workers who went a month witht paychecks and for the contract workers who got no paychecks at all for 35 days. probably the mostni scant most of the time spent tonight in that speech was about the immigration issue. and if people were looking for a sign of some sort of consilliati co illiation from preside trump on this border wall, no, he dug in his heels just as much as he ever had so no big difference there. he really devoted the most time in the speech i to theigration issue. as we just heard in blayne's report, the reference to the russia investigation kind of stands out. he talked a ut ridiculous partisan investigations without

saying russia as interfering with the economic miracle tt says is happening right now. one thing you may have noticed during the speech, all the women in white that you could see on the house floor. they created quite an image in their white. democratic womense to wear white to honor the suffragettes wh worked to win the women's right to vote 100 years agond responsible for so many more women being in congress now. >> it really -- what struck the local members of congress, congressman brown, connolly and ms. norton, no discussion of the shutdown and the likelihood of it happening again in ten >> and no indication that it's -- that it's giving -- coming -- giving up. ow we want to go to jackie bensen. she is live outside 3rd and constitution where there is a
