bus left a minute ago. they pulled out between the long horse and the rayburn buildings, which are across the street from the capitol. they did a 1/4 loop and this air force bus with the u.s. capitol police detail has come back in front of the house side of the capitol on the plaza, which is where i'm standing a few feed away and a lot of the members who were on this trip scheduled to go on this trip piled off. i talked to stephen lynch from massachusetts, susan davis from california, house speaker nancy pelosi is supposed to be on this trip. typically she would go separately with her u.s. capitol police detail because she's in the line of succession. but we don't know if this is just a temporary hold as they wait to figure this out or the trip is off. this bus is back at the capitol and those members piled out and went to the capitol. >> shepard: did anybody say anything when they came off? >> no. there was a group of reporters that tried to get -- we weren't sure what they were going to do. the other thing, we wondered if nancy pelosi might come out here. we're close to her doorway. all of this information came to be very fluid. i spoke with a mem
