'96. tell me lessons you learned from that period, and what lessonsons the congress and white house hos needs to learn. >> that shutdown in '95, and '96 was in two different periods, november and into december, and then it went into january and then the culmination was a blizzard.bl as somebody who represented 18 federal agencies, and a a tremendous number of federal employees that make america runa it was chaotic. it was absolutely kay on the kao

beinchaotic, iremember going ovs senator dole and get speaker gingrich to sign a statement that the federal employees would be paid.b you know, the s&p 500 went down to 3.7%, it had utter chaos occurring. you know, i thought they should learn from that. i don't know why they didn't. the more i thought about it further, and i realize of the current comp composition of con, only 37 of them were in congress during that shutdown. and go a step further, and almost 50% of the currentent republicans were elected after r president bush left office. >> wow that, is a significant number. >> there's something about what has been happening in terms of f not being able to benefit from previous history. >> because maybe there's a lack avenue wareness or appreciation of that history.

i want to ask you this, are you bothered bit level of discourse that you hear.atyo we had a story of the violentt rhetoric going back and forth. we turn on the t.v. every day, we see john boehner, and the president, and everybody essentially just blaming the other party. there's no real conversation going on.n. >> you're absolutely right. righ even the press conference thate we held, the meeting that we held, it was just some talk, but no interaction, no listening, no respecting, no preaching other people's views. you know, i think this wholeis situation is one that has someso dire consequences unless we change them in the future, because opm, office of personnel management indicated that since january, there had been 92,000 requests for retirement, and then i talked to a lot of young people at the university and other places.es. >> uh-huh.

like during the reagan presidency. certainly donald reagan and speaker tip o'neill at the time were far apart in terms of political agendas and the thing that they wanted to achieve, an, the things that they felt were important in terms of governmen and how it functions, but they spoke to each other, and indeed, i think they liked each other. and there was -- there was more conversation at this time. what is different now and how do we get back to their actually being conversation and compromise and real negotiation. >> snu are absolutelyou are abs. quite frankly there's members of congress that don't even knowevn each other. they really don't know each other. they wouldn't remember the name if the ry saw them walking down the street. i think you need to have many my things right now.gh one of them is you need to have the leadership of both the house and the senate as well as the executive branch make sure there

are bipartisan briefings, make sure there's events with families, so i will know your kids how is she or he doing, and therefore they can realize, that's a nice guy or a nice gal. i will listen to what she thinks about such and such, maybe we will disagree but we will workout something.ou i think twe need more of that. quite frankly the whole root of it comes from redistricting. >> i agree. >> i promote the fact that the people have a responsibility that they should get their state legislatures, now, even though redistricting won't happen for another eight years, and say we want to have a nonpartisan commission look at how these h lines are drawn. some states do that, if you have seats that competitive, such as mine was highly competitive, then you need to reach out. that is kind of an element behind it and it will make a difference. >> too few competitive seatsve s now, and competitive districts.t >> right. >> we're out of time, but i do

for a preview we turn to host chris wallace live on capitol hill, chris, good morning.ri >> reporter: good morning, toso you a allison. >> it's what we're talkingng about. it seems like this conversation and this dialogue has gone on for a couple of weeks when i talk with you in theek morning s well. >> i think it's going to go on for a couple of more weeks. i don't think we're anywhere close to resolving the shutdowno quite frankly, there's a good likelihood that it's going to get lumped to negotiations over raising the debt ceiling. that is good news in the sense that everybody thinks we can't go into default so it's going to put real pressure on all sides. on the other hand, that doesn't come up, that deadline for two more weeks. we could have this shutdown. i think it's clearly going into next week and possibly the week after. >> you are a long-time d.c. resident, you are a mover and aa shaker in the city, not a federal worker, but would i dare say we are affected by this. there's a feeling over the city that something is not working.

>> absolutely. >> on a variety of levels, just in terms of the mood in the town, you know, people come to washington to watch things getgs done either to do things, ifgs, you're a member of congress or if you are in our business toss report on things getting done. e nobody likes the stalemates. nobody likes paralysis, but you know, the ripple effect, i get my hair cut near our offices here on capitol hill, and i wasw talking to my barber the other day, you know, does this affect you? >> absolutely. we ghot a lot of people who wor in the government near the mall and they walk two blocks over, they're not going to be here. they're not going to get their hair cut.hai it's going to be a huge hit on our business. when you think it's the local restaurants, and you know, on and on. so it has a huge ripple effectle through the local economy. >> most assuredly. you have two exclusive interviews coming up because wee are talking about what is going on with the gop. >> we are going to have the

secretary of the treasury, andu we are going to talk about the debt limit.debt if we go into detolt an fault as october 17. it could tank our economy and the world economy. most of the heat is going on republicans, there's thebl question, if thisic is so serio as lew is going to say it is, then why doesn't the president get his hands dirty, roll up hi sleeves and negotiate something that is what presidents do. one reason this is such a strange situation. it's not just the division ofof republicans and democrats. it's the battle within the republican party. we are calling fellow republicans terrorists and tom gray who has been leading the charge to shutdown obama care aa the price for keeping the

government open.ve that will be interesting to seee them battling it out. and george will as a member ofrf the sunday panel. >> excellent. >> we will have to talk about it and we will be watching ontchin sunday, chris, thank you so much. you can catch sunday news here on fox 5. it is now 8:22 on this friday morning. just ahead major metro delays this weekend. we have what you need to know. what a nail biter, the caps nail opener comes to a huge sell out, find out who skated out with the victory. ♪
