sherrod, let's go to the gym. should they close the gym or should they close everything but the gym? >> exactly. i think they should keep the gym open and make these congress people live in it. live in the gym like it is an episode of "lock up" on nbc. but them in the gym and reuse the towels and make them switch them. >> that's great. >> you have to switch out the towel. >> msnbc, the best thing they do is "lock up." >> easily. >> it is great. do you ever see people you know there? >> always, cousins and stuff. it is the next family reunion. you don't got to go no where. >> kimberly, something tells me you would not be okay using a wet towel that belonged to somebody else. >> only if it is wet because of me. i have my own collection from k-mart that has been amazing feeling to it. >> why can't they do what a lot of people do and bring their own towels? why must we pay for their clean towels? >> my kid goes to summer camp and it is a million dollars for the summer and they make him bring his own towel. >> i am rig

is the -- it is the sherrod takeover of "red eye." stay right there. >>> o'reilly, hannity, cavuto, what do they have in common? other than the fact they are old and white and mutter about the weather? they have experience hosting shows on fox. i wanted to talk to the people. i hit the streets looking for some free advice. what i found was love. >> it is my first time hosting a show. any advice? man to man? canadian to american? >> be natural, be comfortable like this. >> be myself? >> be yourself. >> let it flow? >> sensor. >> sensor myself? you must know me. i am too much for television, right? >> i don't know. >> she checked me out. >> i am checking you out. >> i am guest hosting a show on fox news tonight. >> no you're not. >> i know, i know. i lost a bet and they got me. >> no you didn't lose the bet, they lost the bet. >> the short dude, he is out. >> "the five" guy, right? >> greg. yes. what do you think about greg? >> i love his answers. they are goofy. >> do you watch greg ever when he hosted "the red eye" show? >> i do, only

you saw a hint from senator sherrod brown, the chaos inside the capitol. this all comes as the government shutdown plays out on capitol hill. tensions already high. political tensions, because of the ongoing struggles between republicans, democrats and the white house about what they're going to do to move past this shutdown. the american people caught in the middle. obviously no word on whether or not this person who might have rammed one of the gates to the white house did so because of tensions. all over this country about which party might be at fault for this. but clearly, this comes at a time of heightened tension on capitol hill. i want to bring in jeff zellany, you said you confirmed with your sources that they confirmed to you they heard the shots themselves. >> they did these three senators, they were eye witnesses to these shots. three senators, shaken but calm, describing this situation here. but i can report to you now, the government shutdown means the capitol is not nearly as crowded as it was before. but the capitol police have been in full

here is what i am thinking, sherrod. twist on the new "murder she wrote" is that she is actually the killer. she is solving a crime that she can -- instead of solving the crime she has to figure out how to blame it on somebody else. that's a genius idea. >> the whole show is her getting rid of evidence. >> or framing somebody? >> it is always about framing somebody. >> and an innocent person gets the chair. >> murder she frames. >> these muffins taste a little perfony. >> angela lansbury is 90 years old. >> and they are spiting on her nonexistent grave by doing this. >> why are you so angry? >> i am not angry. i actually hated this show with a passion. >> you are detracting from that? >> i must write the other one. >> they are both mine. relax. >> you compete against yourself. >> they are two completely different voices. >> you know what, anyway -- >> andy is the real murderer. >> why follow through with the dark and horrible thing i was going say about my life. do you have a video of your animal doing something? go to f

. >> joining me now, democrat sherrod brown, democrat of ohio. do you feel like you were edified by today's house hearing? are you confident that congress and capitol hill are going to get to the bottom of this and get it sorted out? >> well, i don't think there was much interest in that hearing in getting to the bottom and sorting it out. look, first of all, there is far too much contracting out in this government. you can look at nsa, you can look at iraq, the privatization of far too much of the armed forces. you know, from foodservice to soldiers and you can look at contracting out here. the fact is, the administration, of course, should have been better prepared, but the opponent to obama care, the ones that shut the government down to get rid of it are now saying delay, delay, delay it. they're of course going to try to do that. in fact, the issue is the president and the white house and hhs have got to fix this. they've got to make it work. a million seniors in my state have already benefited from free checkups and screenings. 100,000 youn

art sherrod. now, comes art, albright, here they all come. shout out to our friends mason who all hang around here. >> that's right. >> we're going to do a web extra with art. tim waters. >> i'll be hearing from kim. >> so you pick up the saxophone because it was the best chance to get chicks? >> yeah. >> i'm serious. >> i'm dead serious. i'm not joking with you. >> it was between the trumpet and the drums? >> right. >> why is the saxophone so sexy? >> i don't know. that's the mystery of it all, but i like the mystery. >> but what a change from a brass instrument or percussion >> you know, i'm not the greatest singer. i sing, but i'm not the greatest singer, and i think the saxophone translats really well in terms of vocal. it's about the closest instrument you're going to get to vocal. >> i played in high school, and it wasn't sexy for me. >> i was 7th chair. >> all right. >> this is the -- >> out of four saxophones. >> this is art's new disk. if you love smooth jazz, i'm just -- my personal recommendation, i was telling art, i was listening

senator sherrod brown is an ohio democrat.enator, what do you make of your colleagues like rand paul, maybe you don't want to get personal, but they're out there saying don't worry. we're going to walk off the cliff like a cartoon character and just keep walking. "a," why are they saying it? "b," what's the danger of saying it now? >> why they're saying it, it's a political party or a dominant faction of a political party now that doesn't believe in climate change, doesn't believe the president's born in this country, doesn't believe in the promise of stem cell research. and now they're denying that going -- that not paying our bills, not doing the right thing as a nation is not a bad thing. i mean, they are so wrong on this. i've spent the last two or three days just calling business people in ohio. most of them republicans. i don't know their party in every case, but across the spectrum. a lot of bankers, business leaders, hospital administrators. what does all this mean to you? they're increasingly scared because they are i

. >> ifill: senators sherrod brown of ohio and bob casey of pennsylvania were also outside. >> we heardhing. >> about how many shots? >> five or six but there must have been some before because the police cars-- because bob first said, "why are all these police cars..." >> they were already there. >> first, we thought it was like a motorcade but it wasn't apparently. >> ifill: inside the capitol building, people were told to shelter in place, many in the dark, as the situation outside remained active. a park police helicopter hovered near the capitol dome, after police called for help. less than an hour after it began, the all clear was

let's bring in senator sherrod brown of ohio. i appreciate it, congressman, for joining us tonight.enator, what's the latest out of the senate at this hour? >> when america woke up this morning, they saw harry reid and mitch mcconnell, the leaders of the democratic and republican caucus conference in the senate come together on an agreement. and it looks -- they were very close to that agreement. john boehner then let it be known that he wasn't happy with it, and those negotiations, while they're still -- still in the works, but it's delayed it a bit. we're still hopeful that senator mcconnell, senator reid, it come together, we can vote on something tonight or tomorrow morning, get it to the house. but ultimately, it rests with speaker boehner. he's got to decide, as congressm congressman van hollen said, he's got to decide is he peeker of the far right republican right wing or speaker of the united states of america? >> mitch mcconnell stalled today. can you trust the guy? here all of a sudden boehner comes up with a proposal, and then mcconnell takes a step back from all of this

now we want to bring in democratic senator sherrod brown who serves on the banking committee. he also had a letter endorsing yellen signed by a third of democratic senators this summer. it was a fairly unprecedented step of senators directly lobbying for a fed chair nominee. thanks for being with us today. >> glad to be with you. thanks. >> let me ask you two sides of this right out the gate. why did you feel this was the right nominee for jobs and economic recovery in this country? and two, if you could, senator, please speak to the criticism that some senators, including yourself, are getting too involved in a political engagement on the fed, which as we know traditionally supposed to be independent with regard to monetary policy. >> i don't think there was any moving towards ticking away the president's choices to make in terms of appointing a fed chair or any way were we anything but interested in a independent fed chair. where this came from is janet yellen's vice chair now with bernanke, she understands continuity and does something that's unusual in fed chair. that is h

we need to open the government for all the reasons sherrod was just discussing. very short-term debt ceiling increase is not a real good idea because you're just pushing off the debate we're having now to right before thanksgiving. i think what we should do is get the government back to work, set a fundamental framework where we could have negotiations on long term entitlement reform that will bring about savings in terms of debt increases, and an increase in the debt ceiling over a period of time, long enough to stabilize the markets. i think that possibility is there. there will have to be some trade-offs but we're at the table. those are the things we're talking about. >> senator brown, one of the things i heard house republicans say is possible in terms of trying to get a deal going for a bigger budget deal that includes safety net or entitlement programs, that includes tax reform, is removing the smaller sequester spending restraints and letting spending go up which would please democrats who want the higher levels, but then requiring some of these cuts down

sherrod trying to be a one man gang but the rams, they're ram tough. the defense is good. they track them down. all rockville tonight as they win 36-0 and they take home that trophy right there, the 15th annual outback trophy award. >> conditions were sloppy, but we went out and worked in it yesterday and they had some turnovers that certainly hurt them and we capitalized and we got up early and didn't look back. we're definitely riding high now feeling really good about rockville football. >> let's move on. northwest at paint branch. this would be northwest quarterback joshua gills. if you got gills, you do good in the water. that's what i say. quarterback here for 25 yards and the score 7-0 jaguars. paint branch, this is gaston cooper to ryan stango for the touchdown between a couple of defenders there. we're tied. this is even better. watch curry. he believes he can fly between two defenders, beautiful. we'll see that later tonight as well. paint branch takes the lead, but northwest comes back to win 31-28. >>> i took the poncho off. let's get serious. stone bridge must

and then next to me, he is beautiful, sherrod small. >> hash tag red eye. >> a block. the lede.t's the first story. hey, greg, is 3:00 a.m.

night's sleep ♪ tomorrow on the next "red eye" we have return appearances from allison barber and sherrodll. >> e block. last story. that's the last story. >> so, i when i say last story i i am not sure. i am reading your book "chicken soup for the soul, think positive for kids" and i open up to page 160 and you have a quote from iran. the man who does not value himself cannot value anything or anyone. this quote is related to the chapter bullies on the bus. can you explain why? >> you know, i read every chapter. i wrote one of the chapters, and i helped put it together. 9 proceeds go to my foundation. >> that's nice. >> my after school program for ichs 16 years. the number one program in the state of california. >> this guy has been around forever. how many books have they done? >> 6,000. >> i did a book with him before with billy graham. it is about positive stories and about adults talking about things that happened to them that inspired them when they were kids and made them make good choices. it is for kids between 7 and 12 years old who get out there and it is something they can tal

kyle defamed in and former agricultural employee sherrod suing the widow of andrew breitbart for an internetat happened years ago. two widows have to endure these lawsuits. in addition as we reported last night some of the motorcycle gang people that attacked an suv may sue the father protecting his wife and da. mean? off the chart. joining us is guy benson, political editor for townhall.com and in the studio lena maxwell. are we a mean country? >> yes, we are, i think we're too mean-spirited. i don't think it's wrong to sue the widows because that is a part of consequences for andr andrew's behavior -- >> i disagree with you 100%. i don't think the widows had anything to do with the action. >> part of the estate. that's how the legal process works. >> all right. but they're inflicting pain on widows. there's not enough money in the world that would make me do that. now, why? what's the why behind it? have we always been a mean country when we were slaughtering native americans and taking their land, when we were enslaving -- >> yes. >> -- african-americans so from the jump has america becom

we're trying to get reaction sherrod brown and getting describes what they saw and heard outside. >> we thought we heard shots so a lot of police cars, and then we heard shots. then the police told us to go back. we were simply walking back to our office. >> we heard shots. >> i heard three. >> we heard, three, four, five pops, probably. then the police--we were just walking. we were in the grassy area where people park, and then we were told to get back and get behind a car. >> i want to get back to mike viqueira. you said something interesting about how this all ended. and there was probably at least one certainly more than one, but at least one important security question that you think medes to be asked and answered. >> well, i think it will be asked, and i don't doubt there is a perfectly good explanation. in the wake of 9/11 a protocal was initiated--there is this friction between capitol police and leadership and membership of congress. many rank and fire members think that the area should be opened to pedestrians. people should be able to come and go as they please. that driv

. >>> joining me now is senator sherrod brown, democratic senator from ohio, and senator, you have been a strong advocate for the social programs that have been so important to the middle class people of this country, and important to the tea party caucus and john boehner and your republican colleagues. what is your reaction to the injection of entitlement reform on the conversation of the pending debt reform and debt ceiling? >> they're willing to do almost anything to privatize social security, to privatize medicare, cut social security, privatize medicare. i just heard about the demand to raise the retirement age. i was in youngstown not long ago, one woman said i'm 63 years old, i work two jobs, i don't have health insurance, my goal is just to stay alive until i'm 65. your goal is just to stay alive until you can get health insurance. for these people, i said to you before, chris, abraham lincoln said i have to go out to get the public opinion polls, listen to people. people like paul ryan, the number of senators that are advocating raising the retirement age, the eligibility age f

what does sherrod start with, friends? children: "s!" "s." the calendar for us today? all right, what's our next job? girl: fish feeder! fish feeder, right. girl: yemisi! how do you know that's yemisi's name? because it starts with a "y." because yemisi starts with a "y." girl: and an "m!" teacher: can you read it to me? read it to me. hendrick: an emergent literacy program means setting up the environment and activities to inspire an appreciation for words, story telling, and communication in all their forms. but while reading lots of wonderful books to our children is essential, there's much more to literacy besides books. man: shall we read it? let's read it. "when i grow up, my job will be "to go to school and to drink and eat. "i will sell money if i pay money. "if you go to the store, if you buy food. "i can play on the big swing if i pay money. "if you don't, you'll have to go to jail. it's at central park. we can eat on a picnic." all right. anything else? hendrick: we can also convey to our children how satisfying and useful the writ

ohio senator sherrod brown is also speaking out about the dangers of the deal.s what he told me back in september. >> the congress and administrations of both parties don't seem to have learned much about trade when it was nafta, when it was pntr, with china, a host of smaller countries and then it was kafta and each time promised jobs and each time our trade deficit grows. i'm as concerned as you are where a company can sue -- a company has a right to sue another country, to actually sue the government of another country. that undermines all kinds of democratically attained health and safety rules and regulations. >> and senator brown from ohio is totally correct. about u.s. sovereignty. this is where the tea party should be alarmed. according to a leaked document, foreign corporations within the united states would be permitted to appeal key american legal rulings to an international tribunal. holy smokes, michele bachmann, where are you? a number of unions have come out against the deal, including the communication workers of america, and the afl-cio. cwa pre

. >> ifill: senators sherrod brown of ohio and bob casey of pennsylvania were also outside. >> we heardething. >> about how many shots? >> five or six but there must have been some before because the police cars-- because bob first said, "why are all these police cars..." >> they were already there. >> first, we thought it was like a motorcade but it wasn't apparently. >> ifill: inside the capitol building, people were told to shelter in place, many in the dark, as the situation outside remained active. a park police helicopter hovered near the capitol dome, after police called for help. less than an hour after it began, the all clear was sounded, people were cleared to leave the building, and the house went back into session. todd zwillich is a reporter for wnyc and public radio international's "the takeaway." he was on capitol hill today and is there with us tonight. todd, where were you when all that unfolded? >> i was indoors in the senate press gallery covering the government shutdown and having bit of a lull in the afternoon because negotiations had been at a standstill. then word

senator sherrod brown, thank you so much. >>> and joining me now, white house correspondent kristen welker, kristin, will this be wrapped up? >> reporter: well, it certainly looks that way. the white house is certainly feeling o in ing optimistic. they undrged congress to act swiftly to end the government shutdown, they're essentially calling on the house to follow suit. as you just pointed out the bill is expected to pass the senate. i think the white house likes its chances right now. house speaker john boehner earli earlier capitulated, he said we fought the good fight, he believed he had enough votes to get through the house. chris, this is not over until it is over, you noticed president obama has been in the background for the past several days. we haven't seen or heard from him much, because he wants to let this political process play out, allowing the political pressure to build up on republicans. the white house officials thought they would blink, that is essentially what happened. the white house got what they wanted out of this deal. the government will reopen, the debt ceiling

because of redistricting in ohio, president obama one ohio, sherrod brown one ohio, and the democratic congressional candidates won almost one million more votes, but it is 12-4 republicans versus democrats because of redistricting, so those notionns are forced to -- those republicans are forced to appeal to a conservative base and republicans like mike are left high and dry because pragmatists are now forced to be extreme and we are getting extreme government. it is not good for anyone, and it is especially bad for the country. dynamics, areose you actually optimistic we will see an agreement, given we are hours away from october 17, the self-imposed deadline? guest: i am cautiously optimistic that at the end of the day when we are faced with default theme and sending a signal to the entire world confirming what fitch said about a possible lowering of our rating that at the end of the day we will come together, and i think the next question is what happens to speaker john weiner in that process -- john boehner in that process. if he has to courage, it will strengthen the silent majori

what's happened in ohio is because of redistricting, we had president obama won ohio, sherrod brown oneo. a democrat congressional candidate won almost 1 million more votes than republican congressional candidate, but it's 12-4 republicans versus democrats in the congressional delegation because of redistricting. so those republicans are forced to appeal to a very, very conservative base. and i think moderates and independents like mike are really left out to dry because they want to solve the problem and the traditional pragmatist that come out of ohio unlike john boehner, are now forced to be extreme. we're getting extreme government and it's not good for anybody. it's especially bad for the country. >> host: are you aptly optimistic that we will see an agreement today, kevin we are hours away from october 17, the self-imposed deadline? >> guest: i am cautiously optimistic, i am, that at the end of the day when we are faced with defaulting and sending a signal to the entire world confirming what fitch said about a possible lowering of our rating, that at the end of the day we will com

the democratic senator, sherrod brown of ohio was outside the capitol yesterday during that incident. he's joining me from capitol hill. senator, great to see you. thank you for joining me. >> thanks. good to be here. >> a scary afternoon for so many in washington and capitol hill. you were closer to the action than most. what did you see? >> i was walking just from the capitol towards the office buildings with senator casey from pennsylvania and senator murphy from oregon. we saw a number of police drive by. that's not that unusual with motorcades in that part of washington and then -- we noticed there were a lot more cars driving faster and we looked ahead, maybe 7,500 feet and saw people drop to the ground and we heard several pops. several gunshots. what happens is police tell you to go the other way, get behind cars, drop down, whatever. the plus rush towards the danger. that's what they do and that's, you know, why we respect people that do that for a living. >> absolutely. i'm sure, i want to know when you heard shots what went through your mind? i know you were on capitol hil
