ms. rogers did this and that. low and behold it was ms. rogers. when i had an opportunity to be part of the redevelopment allocation i made a phone call and rooerd jones but ms. rogers said this will be great for the community but you have to do what you think is best for you if you can be an advocate for the community then i support you. i was able to be on this great committee where that folks were at the forefront of approving affordable housing and we were all at the table to name this facility after ms. rogers i was proud to be part of the process and working with her over the years. ms. rogers was a big presence i equipped her to be around pardon at any time hard for me, i can't imagine the impact on the family who had given her to the community. she made mario come and pick her up for a meeting and forced here kids to be part of the force. that's why we're standing here today because many of the housing t is primarily due to ms. rogers fighting against the injustice of redevelopment and how we make decisions in this city. this is why i'm pe

ms. rogers when she gave hers, i thought it was the most vacuous thing.n i see republicans saying what a bold new face. and there wasn't a single idea. it was all a bunch of life stories and anecdotes and syrupy music. and i guess they think we're children and, you know, it's crazy. >> you know, there wasn't a whole lot of substance, i agree with that. but i give kudos to representative mcmorris. i think she handled it with grace. it's not an easy job. >> she didn't do anything. >> i appreciate your point, abby. she was definitely better on style than some of the previous republicans who have done it. she spoke about her family. i hope, matt, you'll come back again and give your measured yet sad response every year. >> matt, i actually thought it was a hard-hitting piece and a good piece, a lot of great points in there. thank you as always for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> up next, all about the optics. the moments we will be talking about even after today. twitter sure liked this one. hey guys! sorry we're late. did you run into traffic? no,

. >> does it strike you that to divide the republican voice in various ways, to have ms rogers give her statement, to have one from senator paul and senator lee. >> it's a divided party. >> it's underscores that. >> on who is the main spokesperson. >> as a democrat you like that a lot. >> well, yes. it she is for the presidential elections, there'll be primaries against the republican moderates or establishment, like i suspect mcmorris might be. it's a divided party. it will hurt them in 2016 in a presidential election if they can't get together. >> we'll go to mike viqueira, the white house correspondent. he's made the trek there. what are you hearing there? >> first of all on congress woman mcmorris rogers speech. it was soft edge. i think governor richardson hit it on the head. mitt romney lost the women's votes 55-44 two novembers ago. this is a play to appeal to women voters. we heard her weave in a narrative. bringing in the eldest of three children. casting inequality in a republican like, a gap in quality and opportunity. as far as hard news was concerned you have to dig. i thou

ms. rogers: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. mrs. lowey: may i ask the time remaining on both sides? the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from new york has 17 1/2 minutes remaining. the gentleman from kentucky has 12 minutes remaining. the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. mrs. lowey: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from virginia, mr. moran, ranking member of the interior subcommittee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia is recognized for two minutes. mr. moran: i thank my good friend and committee ranking member for her leadership. so this is a bill that should have been supported from the beginning. in fact, no offense to the budget committee, but at the appropriations -- if the appropriations committee had been given these numbers from the beginning there wouldn't have been sequester or shutdown or furloughs. we could have gotten this done because this is a package of chosen priorities and funding compromises. that's what we do in the appropriations committee. so that's why we ought to support it.
