mr. scalise? the speaker: we are not going to be the ones commenting on his health prognosis or progress other than to say i had a great meeting with steve this morning and he's bright. he's alert. he just wanted to go through the agenda. he wanted to go through the latest whip, what's coming to the floor next week. he wanted a brief on work. he was just so thankful -- also, by the way, we're doing blood drives. he's very thankful for hat. he's very thankful for the outpouring of support that he's received friends and colleagues and people from louisiana. and so he was just very, very taken and moved. just to hear him talk about bailey and krystal and his affection for them and thankfulness for them, it was something. it seemed like he was doing real well. thanks.

mr. scalise is in stable condition. there was a volunteer, former congressional staffer who is probably the most seriously wounded. he's out of surgery and is -- i would say i'm not a doctor so i don't know what condition to rate him, but he does not appear to be in imminent danger. another staff person for roger williams was shot in the leg. i think he's out of the hospital. roger williams, you know, broke his ankle or severely twisted his ankle. he's in a boot on crutches, but he's okay. there are at least two of the officers who were shot, and i'm told that they are okay, and then the shooter was shot and passed away. >> sir, congressman scalise is stable? >> you'll have to check with his office. i'm told he's out of surgery. >> you haven't been able to talk to him? >> i have not tried to bother him, no, sir. >> will there be anything special, a special ceremony to mark -- >> we're working on that both at our level and the speaker pelosi level and the short answer is we think so, but we don't have confirmation on tha

mr. scalise to live in most respects a normal live? what are the limitations you foresee based on your experience? >> i don't want to get too far out ahead of myself. all of us who care for severely injured patients are very reluctant in the first few days to start predicting which way things can go with all the branches in the road that are to come. usually the initial period is about hemorrhage control. and i feel like we have made a lot of progress about that and hopefully that is not going to be our biggest enemy any longer. other things to worry about include infections and other complications that come about from intensive care. reporter: in terms of rehabilitation? >> hopefully you'll have an opportunity to talk to dr. golden about the orthopedic aspect. i think we fully expect him to be able to walk, to be able to do -- again i don't want to speak to dr. golden, my understanding is he'll be able to walk and run. as far as the degree of athletic limitation, i think i will kick that to dr. golden to answer. reporter: a lot of peo

mr. scalise's police and the alexandria police converged on him and prevented him from etting onto the field. reporter: can you talk about the spirit of bipartisanship on the hill and you touched on this, the game is normally competitive and how the spirit of competition might change? mr. doyle: i don't think the pirt of competition will change. we are mostly competitive people or else we wouldn't have made it down here. the supportsmanship has been always good. after the games are over, we get together for the awarding of the hashies and the congressman been extremely gracious. mr. barton: and i was extremely gracious. mr. doyle: i don't think that part will change. mr. barton: we are intense on the field. i haven't played the game in a long time but when i did, i was the pitcher and i brushed back and they brushed me back but he couldn't throw me hard enough. i couldn't get it to home plate. but, as mike pointed out, hopefully, you can be intensely political without being personal and a lot of the traditions of the house are designed to diffuse personal animosity. the gentleman from pennsy

mr. scalise. mr. tiberi, who was managing the time on the republican side, he said he was, i think, 17 years old. if you were here and you mr. supported the clinton health care bill that never would have happened. that would be another way we might want to look at it. mr. speaker, as i said a bit ago, this is an unusual procedure. we're being asked to amend legislation that left the institution. heaven's knows where the republican health care bill rests today. the president calls it mean. the senate won't tell us where they are as they write the bill. and when it might emerge. and we find ourselves offering amendments to something that is not going to happen. h.r. 2579, the broader options for americans act, would allow premium tax credits to be used for unsubsidized cobra coverage under trumpcare. unfortunately, this does nothing to fix the ahca, the underlying measure this bill intends to amend. older americans are likely to rely on cobra and the ahca would allow insurers to charge older americans u

mr. scalise. the doctors say he is still critical. but his risk of death is now substantially lower. we controlled the internal bleeding and the vital signs are stabilize. >> it's enclosed by crime scene tape. evidence teams spent much of friday combing over the ball field to look for clues. where gunshots rang out are now notes of love and understanding. we understand they need to do a thorough investigation. richard: the f.b.i. hopes to return control of simpson field back to alexandria officials by monday perhaps. they have put out thanks to those who stopped the gunman in the park on wednesday. reporting live, richard reeve, abc7 news. michelle: thank you. montgomery county police asking for help to find killers of two high school students gunned down a night before graduation. investigators say one victim was shot ten times and the other four. one of teens appears to have some kind of debt and they are urging anyone with information to come forward. >> our belief for the community and we know they have been upset by this event and they should be, should not happen many montgomer

mr. scalise.ow what the reasoning is for that, and perhaps we'll hear more from the hospital. hospital is home to another victim of the attack, the capitol police officer crystal griner, struck in the foot or in the ankle. she is said to be in good condition. the other hospitals in town, george washington university, matt mika, who is a lobbyist for tyson foods is also being treated. he may be the most serious of all the conditions. he's also in critical condition but shot in the chest. zach barth, a staffer for congressman roger williams is also in an undisclosed hospital. we only know that because he tweeted out early this morning he had been hit in the carnage there, and that he was going to be okay. we later heard from a family spokesperson he was shot through the calf muscle, and the other officer involved, david bailey, was not struck by gunfire but suffered a minor injury and not treated at the hospital, released from the hospital. he may be the real hero here, we understand he had a large

mr. scalise. this is going to be with the head of the trauma here, dr. jack saba. this is such a mammoth injury that was done to the house majority whip, considering the high speed bullet like this that can devastate human tissue and bone. this went into the hip, shattered his pelvis. probably suffered some veins or arteries given the extend of the bleeding. that's been a major problem in the surgeries today, just to try to stem the bleeding. hopefully we'll get an update in greater detail about what his condition is and perhaps what the prognosis is. the reason for their being so sparse, because he was in critical condition. anybody that is suffered a major gunshot wound and has undergone major surgery is oftentimes placed in critical condition. but given the extent of the injuries, it's a situation where you expect the hospital doesn't want to get out ahead of themselves. they're handling this piece by piece, operation by operation. we know there's two operations and other procedures to date, more in store, but from dr. jack saba, we should get a better idea of t

mr. scalise is in stable condition. there was a volunteer, former congressional staffer, probably the most seriously wounded, he's out of surgery and is -- i would say -- i'm not a doctor. i don't know what condition to rate him. he does not appear to be in imminent danger. another staff person for roger williams was shot in the leg. i think he's out of the hospital. roger williams either broken his ankle or severely twisted it. he's in a boot, on crutches. he's okay. at least two officers were shot. i'm told that they're okay. then the shooter was shot and passed away. >> so congressman scalise is stable as you're -- i you need to check with his office. i'm told he's out of surgery -- >> you have not talked to him? >> i have not tried to bother him, no, sir. >> will there be anything special tomorrow in terms of a ceremony -- >> we're working on that both at our level and at speaker pelosi level. so the short answer is we think so but we don't have confirmation. >> congressman, you're saying that you want a better poli

mr. scalise was hit in the hip. it dropped him to the ground. he dragged himself into the outfield, but that was one of many shots fired. he was shooting at anything, cars, the dugout, you name it. our brad bell has been covering the investigation from the get-go and he joins us now from the latest. brad? [gunfire] brad: representative mo brooks was still shaking as he told us of diving for cover. he saw the gunman. looked right at him.

mr. scalise, our whip. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. scalise: i thank the chairwoman of the budget committee for yielding. i rise in strong support of this bill, mr. speaker, that finally provides relief to the american people across this country from the failures of obamacare. and just how bad is it failing? you don't have to look any further than what happened in iowa yesterday, they will have in 94 out of 99 counties nobody to write nurns for people that are in the obamacare exchanges. what do those who are opposed say to those people in iowa? what are the people that oppose this bill going to say to the millions of people with pre-existing conditions across the country who are being faced with double digit increases in their health insurance every year? and by the way, premiums and deductibles as high as $10,000 which are creaming those folks that are struggling under the weight of this bill. what we are replacing it with with lower premiums and put patients back in charge of their health care decisions so elitists in washington up h

mr. scalise yesterday and his wife alongely at the hospital, ith his wife, melania, and the capitol police officers that were also on the scene. they were on detail for epresentative scalise because he's the third-ranking republican in leadership. they were there engaged in a shoot-out with the gunman, who was fatally injured. the congressional baseball game, though, is continuing this evening and take a look at the and r for republicans democrats. you can see the names there of be of those that will attending this evening and go on., as the game will of members of congress, many them have played this game many times over the years, joe barton, who says he came to 1985, he's been playing it, being part of it for he was coach and manager and last year republicans won for the first time. before yesterday's shooting, they ere joking hopefully could keep this winning streak going this year. we're having a conversation with all of you about the tone in country, political far?ric, has it gone too jerry, democrat, thank you for waiting. go ahead. earlier in a, you the show mentioned something abo

mr. scalise is in stable condition at this moment. congressman palmer says he was about 20 yards from the shooter. >> i heard

mr. scalise is out of surgery, the congressman is doing better and we looked guard and are anxious to hear from him about what happened today. >> throughout the course of the morning we've found out that apparently the congressman, quite a baseball plan as well. played second base, took the job very seriously and throughout the course of his campaigning was known to actually hand out bats to supporters. our justice correspondent pete williams continuing to work the phones, trying to gather some new information. do we have any new information at this juncture? >> i thought one of the strange things about the news conference is they didn't tell us how many people were injured and what the extent of their injuries were. perhaps there were more shot than were nushlly told and perhaps some of their injuries were minor. but we're still trying to -- remarkably still can't tell you with certainly how many people were wounded here. so we're still trying to nail that down, in addition to try to find out more about the nature of the suspect. but as i said a little earlier, they were apparently on to

mr. scalise. , pray for his full recovery and to the other people that were wounded. believe as a christian, which i am, as other members of congress have expressed that they are also christian, we need to behave differently. if we express that we are christian, we are followers of the teachings of jesus christ, we believe in god, that our actions need to portray that. host: mike in germantown, maryland, republican. what is on your mind? occurred onshooting trump's birthday and there were two men in succession to president trump. i think this was a warning from the deep state. shooter, the so-called shooter is a pansy. i will take a serious sniper or fbi sniper took out scalise. this is a warning from the deep state to get in line and do what they tell you. host: why do you think the intelligence community would go that far? caller: look at what they did to kennedy. ad you honestly believe that lone gunman took out kennedy? on, and iten going is an item. host: mike in maryland. we are going to take a short break and when we come back we will talk with congressman scot
