. >> we did, i thought, run a great -- joe partson, the manager of the republican team and mike doyle from pennsylvania, the democratic team did a presserville ability. they spoke in personal terms about their lives. congressman barton's son was there. >> yes. >> if you haven't seen it, go back and watch it. we forget sometimes. this is dumb but members of congress are human beings. >> i think that's right. and truly affected by this. members were truery affected by this, because they knew there by the grace of god. we're seeing the color guards. a moment ago pelosi, ryan, schumer, mccarthy, leadership were all together sort of laughing and smiling. go ahead. the color guard. >> i think there's two very important points. we're seen around the world here and we're often -- cnn. we're talkingant the division, here in the united states between president, demsz, republicans and what have you. this is a very big moment i think for people around the world. >> let's just listen in here and we'll have the national anthem. [ cheers and applause ] >> announcer: star spangled banner and "god ble

joe barton and mike doyle say the game will happen. this was the team that was targeted at today's shooting in alexandria virginia where the congressman and three others were wounded. we can give you this update. the congressman is out of surgery. he is listed in critical condition but he is recovering and we have the two police officers, the congressional officers who were special agents i want to give you their names. david bailey and crystal greiner , both heroically came out with their guns and took on a rifle man. the suspect, 66-year-old james hodgkinson is dead thanks to the heroics of agence bailey and greiner. as soon as that news conference happened on capitol hill, we will take it. i promise. the dow increases it's up 34 points as janet yellen takes the stage. the fed rate rate hikes and economics aside, she was also asked about her uncertain future as fed chair under trump's administration. she is supposed to go until february but she gave a clue or two, would you say. >> we are in washington d.c. so no matter what there is

is pennsylvania representative mike doyle. he held a press conference with a manager for the republicans. this is what he had to say yesterday about what he hopes will come from this incident. should not take in incident like this to bring us together. jill and i have been reflecting a lot lately just on how we can still maintain our principles and our legislative agenda. when the leadership of this country's civil towards one another, maybe the public will serve being civil towards one another. mood in this the country so that people don't get filled up with this kind of hatred, but tonight, we want to be together. i would suggest that we would like to host the entire republican team. we want to have them to dinner. we are going to have both teams together and reflect upon this day and to share some food and drink in the to know each other a little better. you guys schedules will i need to attend and we look forward to the baseball game tomorrow and continuing this tradition. the game will go on. we've just learned that the h

. >> after the team manager, congressman mike doyle, expected the trophy, he gave it to his counterpart, joe barton, to put in congressman steve scalise's office on behalf of the democrats. >>> lots to do today. that was a nice feeling. >> without a doubt. we begin today with breaking news. president trump via twitter, his favorite medium, confirming this morning he's under investigation for possible obstruction of justice. guess what he indicates? he ain't happy about it. tweeting, i'm being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. witch hunt. >> strangely, he didn't name the man, which led to speculation. we'll get to that in a second. an hour earlier, the president tweeted, after seven months of investigations and committee hearings about my collusion with the russians, in quotes, nobody has been able to show any proof. sad. also this morning, the russia investigation is reportedly expanding. the "washington post" reporting that special counsel robert mueller is looking into the finances and business dealers of president trump's son-in

and i'm proud to serve with people like mike doyle. you know, we feel very blessed that we're here to have this interview. had the shooter not been attacked by the capitol hill police who risked their lives-- and two of them got shot-- had he gotten inside the fence of the field and gotten to the first base dugout, there were 20, 15 members and five or six staffers in that dugout huddled down-- it's actually lowered below-the-field dugout-- and there would have been no place for them to run. tow is could have been much worse. >> woodruff: congressman doyle, i can see the pain in both of your faces. is this a time for coming together in some way and for rethinking, as we said, some of the partisanship? >> i think all of us are reflecting on that today. joe and i have been associated with this game for quite a while, and we've been friends for a long time. his son, jack, is like one of my nephews. always comes up and asks me how i'm doing and always tries to get intelligence from jack on what his dad is up to, and jack never gives him up

our coach, mike doyle electrical pennsylvania called us in off the field into the dugout and gave usews. of course, we didn't really know what to expect or what was happening. there were some police officers there from gal lew det university. we stayed in place for a while. it didn't take very long before the team gathered together, put our arps around one another and prayed for steve scalise and the others who were injured. >> do you normally have any security when the democratic baseball team, you practice at gal lew det. >> we do on occasion. we don't have a member of the senior leadership who plays on the team. we don't have anybody with protection detail the way mr. scalise does. thank god in this case that was the case that he had his detail there because they clearly saved many, many lives. by their acts of heroism. >> do you think you guys should come around with some security. >> we have to look at it particularly when there are a number of members gaggered in one place. it would be tough to provide to every member of congress. when there are a number together, it may be som

for this charity game that was going to take place tomorrow and in the middle of practice, coach mike doyle, a representative from pennsylvania called us all in to the the pitcher's mound which was strange, but i ran in from left field and he indicated to us that there had just been a shooting at the republican baseball practice and he had no further details, but we were concerned that some members had been hit. so we then gathered in the dugout, prayed, first thing we did led by coach doyle for our friends and our colleagues on the republican side of the aisle who were at that practice and then members of the capitol police began to show up, urge us to shelter in place until they could secure the premises because it was very unclear at that point whether this would be a situation where multiple members of congress at different places were going to be under attack. >> of course. and there is also going to be a briefing coming up starting right now for house members on exactly what happened this morning. you guys practice almost every morning and maybe definitely every morning. did you ever
