joining us now is representative charles rangel, a democrat of new york.ir, i hope that you were listening to the president, as we just were. what is your reaction to his defense of the affordable care act and his explanation that he was not lying to anybody when he said that people would not be thrown off their health coverage? >> i never felt more proud of the president. for over four decades, i've been fighting, hoping, wishing, that all americans would have access to affordable health care. and i have to really pinch myself that this president is the defending attacks against the plan by republicans. i'm elated that we passed it into law. the supreme court now guarantees that 30 million people that couldn't afford or couldn't gain access will have the pride, the dignity and the ability to provide safety in terms of health care for their family. as far as defending and talking about republicans, i wish i could truly understand why they have this political death wish, except looking back at history, you would find that under the scope of too big a govern

. >> joining us now is democratic congressman, charles rangel of new york.. >> hi, martin. >> while republicans fight with themselves about when they might dane to open the government, the national head start association reports that if allowed to continue for the next two weeks, 86,000 children in 41 states will lose their head start places. temporary assistance for 4 million families is in jeopardy. in connecticut, and other states, funds for low-income energy assistance will run out. what should people do, freeze to death? meals on wheels in michigan and elsewhere have funds for about another two weeks. what should people do, starve to death? do your republican colleagues in the house have any idea what their game of shutdown is doing to the most vulnerable people in our society? >> you opened up your program talking about amazing grace, and all i can say in response is, i was blind, but now i see. the poor and the middle class really doesn't count for a handful of people that are out to destroy our country. i was blind until i saw that confederate flag b

company, josh barrel, for business insider and erin carmone, national reporter and congressman charles rangele democrat from new york. good to see all of you. good morning. a couple of things stood out for me and one is the number that we just showed and that people are sick of their own representative and usually people are sick of congress and they still like their person and the president who always had personal likability, josh, is under water. if you're anybody in washington right now, what do you make of these numbers? i wouldn't be surprised if we were in washington and especially the last month, and i think this is sort of like the situation in 2011 when we almost hit the debt ceiling. you had an asymmetrical effect and they're doing worse than the democrats and 22% of the favorable number is stunning to me, and i think republicans have to be worried about whether they'll hold the house of representatives next year. they have the advantage in the way the district maps are done and they should be able to hold the house even if they lost the popular vote by five or six points. they coul

that includes congressman john lewis and charles rangel who linked arms and standing in the front of the pack, they were among the first people arrested after refusing orders to disperse so they could clear the street. >>> a post game tradition in being banned at high schools in kentucky. the athletic association has ordered all schools not to conduct post game handshakes in all sports. that decision comes after more than two dozen physical confrontations during the past three years. teams can choose to ignore the order but the handshakes have to be closely monitors and any incidents reported. one soccer coach says he has found a way around it. >> i kind of thought if we can't shake their hand after we should shake it before. >> they say it is up to them to teach sportsmanship and if fights occur they will be held responsible. >> the sharks beat the rangers and we have a new star, thomas hurdle scored a hat trick and check out this score. >> here is hurdle again -- oh -- >> -- does it, he scores again -- >> -- the legs, that was hurdle's 4th of the night. now he is from the czech rep

. >> on tuesday, democratic representative charles rangel of new york attempted to explain to cnn host ashley banfield why he believes it's impossible to work with house republicans in good faith. >> this is not a question of republicans or democrats. this is all about a handful of people who got elected as republicans that want to bring down our government. you can see it in the streets and see where they are coming from and the same way they fought as con fed rats they want to bring down the government and reform it. >> confederates, bob? >> well, yes. this is an extremist ban who has no adult supervision on the republican side. it's worth understanding the position boehner is in. the republican speaker of the house. he can pass at any moment a bill with 200 democratic votes and couple dozen republican streets pass the budget and thrift debt ceiling. but the he did that, the caucus would vote against it and it puts his speakership at risk and the next day someone would challenge him for the speakership and dislodge him. so he has to make a decision. is he the adult in the room or is

. >> i want to bring in congressman charles rangel. always good to see you, congressman. good morning. >> good morning. >> i know you were with the president yesterday. obviously, you're on the hill now. what is your sense? is it that we're moving toward a resolution of some kind? >> no question about it. and there's no hiccups, and there's not going to be anything added to raising the debt ceiling and getting a clean, continuous resolution. the things that they want, they have no clue because they have organized themselves just a small ban to destroy the president of the united states and affordable care. they -- in doing this, they're burning down the government. they're burning down the economy. and they're going to the president and ask for a breather because what they have done, they can -- what they wanted to do, they cannot accomplish. >> what do you think this is going to look like going forward? will it be a four to six-week extension, and then will there be a broader conversation that includes things like medicare, retirement for federal workers, changes to the

i want to bring in congressman charles rangel. congressman, is there a level of secrecy here? we don't know how many people enrolled. we don't have those numbers here. >> i am so excited at this point in our political life that our great nation is saying that whether you're poor or middle class, you can have health insurance. what we're having here, i know, is a big deal to reporters and those who analyze the efficiency of the administration, but i'm only concerned about those people who have no health insurance at all. they go to work every day hoping and praying that they don't get sick. we've got to get over this. republicans have spent more money trying to disable this program. and listen, it's not something that people who are uninsured do every day. i learn every day from it. >> congressman, what about sebelius, what should she do? >> listen, she has been an outstanding advocate for the program. who she hires, whether or not they have been efficient as they should be, these things have to be corrected. but all i know is this. there are tens of millions of people out ther

some may be very familiar including charles rangel. last week, the national mall is legally closed because of the shutdown. we're going to spin around and show you what's been going on. this is part of a stage that was used for the rally, but even though they're not supposed to be gathered on the mall, the national park service told us that under the same first amendment rights that are allowing honor flight veterans to visit the member oral yeah, other groups will be granted access to the park for first amendment activities. so obviously, another loophole in getting around this shutdown. >> thank you. >>> president obama had plenty of tough words for the current house speaker, but he also brought up the name of the former house speaker who used to be in the crossfire. and the former speaker newt gingrich joins us. he's the co-host of crossfire. the president gave you a little shout out. >> back in the '90s, we had a government shutdown. that happened one time. and then after that the republican party and mr. gingrich realized this isn
