washington, and joining me now to discuss the implications of everything that's happened is congressman jim hines, democrat from connecticut. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> what is the fallout from the shutdown? >> i think the one meaningful thing -- there is too meaningful things. the government will go back to work and the financial crisis was averted, and we were thinking that sometime in the next 48 hours we would see a major dislocation and capital markets. the other thing that has occurred is that the republican party, the majority party in the , two weeks ago would've said that this is our route to repeal obamacare and achieve all these things. they have achieved the opposite of what they sought to achieve. their popularity ratings -- i don't say this for artisan gain, just observation -- this approve of how democrats handle the crisis, too. >> no, that's actually right. nobody won in this thing. but the party that instigated this, starting with victories -- with ted cruz's 21-hour, they have borne the brunt of this. three months from now we will be here again. >> that is the k

i want to bring in two congressmen, democrat jim hines of the financial services committee. gentlemen, welcome to you. let me start with you, james langford, you two are standing next to each other, which i guess is an encouraging sign, is there any real sign of movement or has everything moved to a debt ceiling debate which will be resolved around that deadline? >> i think it is more likely we'll have debt ceiling and cr conversation. obviously, we all wish it would have been resolved weeks ago, or two weeks ago so we never actually walked into it. the closer we get to the debt ceiling, the more likely, okay, let's get some of this resolved. probably not long-term, but short-term, i would like to get america fully back to work again. >> you were with the president tonight, jim, word is leaking out. he was in a vaguely friendly term, saying look if it takes an extension of six weeks to resolve the debt ceiling situation we can alleviate some of the problems, that may be the way to go so the republicans can save face and get the government going again. is that your understand

. >> tell us this, jim hines. you were with the president today. did he at any stage mention this app appalling situation involving the payments of the dead service men and women. it's not a secret. there was a pentagon briefing saying this is what was going to happen. how can the president feign ignorance on this and how can the families be treated this way? >> there is no feigned ignorance at all. it's a horrible situation bringing us to the realization we need to owe a debt of gratitude to the families bringing those abroad. but it's the head start families in my district who are choosing between keeping their job or looking after their children at home. the pain is massive around this, and the president knows that more than anyone else. he regularly writes to those who lost limbs or lost lives abroad, so he understands how very painful this situation is that we find ourselves in. >> collectively the republicans and democrats, by continuing this shutdown, have directly led to an appalling situation, one i think most americans find just completel

joining us on the phone, by the way, from the capitol is congressman jim hines, democrat of connecticutf you're seeing this, congressman. dramatic footage. a dramatic day. what did you experience? >> well, i was on the floor of the house of representatives when this all happened. it was kind of interesting. there were a lot of people around because we just finished a vote and were starting to take up some additional debate. then sitting on the floor all of the sudden the energy in the room changed pretty dramatically as some of the security personnel began to lock up the doors and a note was passed to the speaker protem and things shut down pretty quickly. the floor is usually pretty quiet other than who's giving a speech at in a moment. radios started crackling. it was pretty cool that something out of the ordinary was happening when it began to occur. >> representative, what can you tell us if anything about the resources here that might have been affected by the shutdown today across the capitol? >> there's a lot of talk. i just got off the floor. there was a huge round of applause l

representative jim hines republican michigan bill highs in your -- bill h uizenga. liveington journal" is every day at 7 a.m. eastern. >> cowboys mean a great deal to montana. our largest industry is agriculture. the raising of livestock is a huge part of that. still to this day you still need a man or woman or young person that can get on a horse, take care of the livestock whether it is bringing them into polo cap for taking them to a new pastor orringing them into a calf taking them to a new pastor. what you sell in the fall is pounds of beef. great can do that is take care of the cattle. when the cowboy culture began and this man or woman or person who is called the cowboy had to live in all the elements. they lived and worked outdoors and so they had to dress daysdingly, and in the old , they really just had animal skins to use much like the natives. there were no modern textiles to .epel water or rain or snow so they would cover their bodies with leather apparel. these are called chaps, derived forrom the spanish word. more cowboys and cattle from big sky coun

(laughter) you see, folks-- with national parks shuttered, hundreds of couples have had to cancel their wedding. now i'm 100% in favor of the shutdown. but i feel bad for mike and myelin, their story is causing a shutdown in-- well, nation, you know, i promised you on night one of the shutdown that as leader of the
