i want to start with jim mcdermott.as stunned when i got this late last night after the committee voted. not only does it declares our policy to be support a changing momentum in the battlefield, but it says the provisional all forms of assistance of the syrian political opposition. this is like a gulf of tonkin thing thrown in here. we're taking sides as an act of belligerence in that civil war over there. i was struck by it. congressman? >> so were we. when i read that last night, i thought wow. this has gone much further than i had thought the senate resolution would go. which was trying to define a narrow mission. and suddenly we had section 5 put in, which seemed very reminiscent to me of the resolution we worked on in 2002 going into the war on terror. i was very -- i was made very uncomfortable by seeing that, because i don't know what it means. there are some vague terms in this about deter and, you know, sort of de-emphasize some of their power. i couldn't -- i don't know what they're after. and there is going

mcdermott will get his first start sunday when the 49ers host green bay.sed him a chance to compete for the job.and mcdermott seized the opportunity. then showed class praising the man he's replacing. the 49ers cut three receivers saturday, including former cal bear lavelle hawkins he did not have to say certain things. however, when you look at what did the 49ers have added a another wide receiver. but that didn't stop them from signing receiver chris harper off the seahawks practice squad harper dropped a touchdown in seattle's final preseason game against the raiders.but he was a 4th round pick so obviously's he's got talent plus any chance harbaugh gets to mess with seahawks coach pete carroll you better believe he'll take it plenty of bad blood between those two guys tahoeone other niner related note.last week coach harbaugh told us backup quarterback seneca wallace opted to retire. not the case.today the green bay packers signed wallace to be aaron rodgers primary backup.guess the niners just weren't the right fit. and out of the boxing world. former

congressman mcdermott, who pays for this? and how do we know it's not open ended?it. it's going to cost about a billion dollars. why don't we just raise taxes and pay for it right now? we didn't pay for iraq. we didn't pay for afghanistan. we ought to start paying for things now. the sequester is hurting our economy and the budget's coming up. we've got all kinds of problems and here we are spending more money on a war. makes no sense. >> and gentlemen, what do you say to those who -- and the president and secretary kerry -- who says our image will be damaged in the world and that we have a moral obligation. what about that? >> it's nonsensical. we look foolish to the world. we're out on a limb here. we're the only ones even contemplating a serious attack. if the world were behind us, that would be a different story. the world is against us. most countries wouldn't even consider the possibility of doing something like this. there are 196 countries in the world. why is it always our responsibility? this time the answer is it isn't. >> what about the response from as

you know, congressman mcdermott, former republican senator judd greg is slamming his own party for his extremism in this shutdown fight. let me show you this. he says most americans these days are simply ignoring republicans and they should. the self-promotional babble of a few has become the mainstream of the republican political thought. it has marginalized the influence of the party to an appalling degree. this ask a former republican senator stating that about his own party. but the real threat is that that group may be able to be enough to shut the government down if we can pressure them or convince them whatever way becomes available in the congress to really stop this that would inflict so much pain on so many americans. >> reverend, i think what we've got here is a situation where they are going to run the string out. they already started it by trying to reduce food stamps. $20 billion in cuts on food stamps wasn't enough. they went to $40 billion. >> right. >> now they're going to try and take away the health care for people who are already beginning to get it from the preside

joining me now, democratic congress mab, jim mcdermott, representative mcdermott, thank you for joiningre, alex. >> so earlier this morning, sir, i spoke with democratic congressman john yarmuth. he told me there will be a government shutdown in nine days. what do you think? >> well, for the longest time i thought they'd come to their senses. but i really do think the fighting inside the radical wing of the republican party is so intense that they cannot not have a shutdown. i think we're going to have a shutdown. >> okay. so what can be done to avoid that shutdown? can you and fellow democrats do anything along with the white house in terms of making a compromise on any of their spending bill demands? >> no, the republicans are fighting among themselves to such an extent there's almost nothing we can offer them or do with them. they won't talk to us. they are intent on stopping the affordable care act, the obama care. and when they've taken that this way or the highway approach, there's nothing you can do that is going to satisfy them because they do not want the president's plan for h

the focus of congress is on syria, with me is congressman jim mcdermott. it's good to see you and thank you for being with us. >> it's good to be here. >> so what was your reaction today to the vote in the senate? >> well, it said one thing that i think people have wondered. this is not going to be a party line vote. this is the toughest vote that any member of the congress that are in the house or the senate has to make. that is acceptin sending people. it is not something that you decide on party or who the president is or anything is or anything else. you think about the 750,000 people you represent, and try to represent what you think is the best thing for them. and you got a split vote in the senate. i think that's what is going to happen in the house. a very split vote. >> i know you've been opposed to war at times in the past. how do you stand on this? >> well, i'm leaning no, i don't think going in--but i'm one who--i'm a physician, and i believe you continue to gather as much information as you can so that you can make the best decision on behalf

mcdermott: are you -- mr. brady: we are prepared to close. mr. mcdermott: i yield one minute to mr. blumenauer to close our arguments. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute, the gentleman from oregon. mr. blumenauer: thank you very much. let's be clear, this is not about the integrity of the tax system. there are any number of areas where we rely far more on discretion individual taxpayers, and there is no appetite actually to move in those areas. my republican friends are not interested in providing adequate resources to the i.r.s. to be able to appropriately enforce the tax law right now. and we have hundreds of billions of dollars of taxes that aren't collected. but this is part of a mean-spirited and shortsighted effort to sabotage the health care reform effort. bear in mind what's going on in states around the country. in missouri the republican legislature has been on a rampage that will even make it illegal for state employees to tell missourians what they are entitled to under state law. this is a new low in, i think, political malpractice. the

after a heated competition the 49ers have opted to keep undrafted rookie kevin mcdermott over 13 yearwho was the longest tenured player on the team.and perfect on snaps over his long career mcdermott must have had some camp. harbaugh thought he was best snapper coming out of college at ucla.and gave him every opportunity to win the job.which he obviously did. >> he did not have to say certain times. however, you only have to look at certain things of what people do to understand. he held himself to a very high standard. the green bay packers signed two former niner quarterbacks.seneca wallace is now aaron rodgers backup.and scott tolzien is also in the mix. harper dropped this touchdown. against the raiders but he was obviously talented and i must say that any way that jim harbaugh and also, back up quarterback saseneca wallace is now. rogers back up. former heavyweight champion tommy morrison has died at the age of 44 the cause of death has not been released .though morrison did test positive for h-i-v in 1996, effectively ending his boxing career. however morrison denied to the end
