rather as you know people came together and prayed for her recovery but first some reason with steve scully it's different because he's a republican it was brought up that one of the capitol police officers who saved a representative and the rest of the baseball team was gay and my question for you lionel is do you all republicans hate kaizen even people for traditional marriage don't necessarily hate gays so why does the left get away with drawing these types of conclusions. we have just hit the gold standard strike that not we but sockpuppet mainstream media has set the gold standard for despicable and i do think that was possible it was funny you speak of something very very important it depends upon who the subject is who the victim is who the bad guy is last year in orlando during the poll shooting if somebody you notice at the time we talk about omar mateen why what why did he do this was because he was a radicalize islamic who was it was he secretly get a was he seeking revenge and some lover we went through pains that we they went through pains but if i hadn't said well maybe those

it is a way of giving a shout out to steve scully's -- steve scalise. thanks for having me. what a time to be here. we were speaking in the green room, right when things came to a head this happened to be schedule. we talked about doing this months ago. it was serendipity, i hope. i approach this as a physician. if you think about the letter i got this past weekend, a fellow who is an attorney -- makes good money apparently -- describing how he and his family are paying $20,000 a year for their premium , and their deductible is going to $14,000. and he is saying he cannot afford this. now we hear this story across the nation. my sister-in-law in san francisco, exact same story. an insurer, the exact same story, kind of culminating. $39,000 last year. we cannot afford that. if you approach it as a doctor, you say how is the family doing? they are not doing well. this is the individual market. it is not just anecdotal. or maybe it is anecdotal but anecdotal writ large. folks cannot afford the deductibles they have, and it describes the family in new york in which the $6,000 de

congressman steve scully's remains incredible condition at a hospital in washington dc.ager of the democratic baseball team joins us right now. my thoughts are with you and your teammates and the republicans as well. you are on the website and it notes that in light of yesterday's events, the game will be held as scheduled. was that ever in doubt after what happened yesterday? i don't think so. right after it happened, i called the republican manager, joe barton and they had just been through a tremendous experience. i've never had anyone shooting bullets at me, so i said to joe that what ever he decided, that we would for to that out of respect for what they had been through. joe felt the game should go great, and i said that's i felt the same way, that we should not let incidents like this or people like this change our daily routine or how we live our lives. there was never really much doubt between joe and i as to whether the game and go forward, but we had to make sure the leadership on both sides and the washington nationals were ok with that. i think it was unanim

steve scully's was fighting for his life. as i said then, we can only hold a person who commits crimes responsible for their actions but we shouldn't be encouraging what is political violence. by the way, johnny depp, he should stop attacking the president and focus on his own problems. since he has more than enough to go around. what is so deeply disturbing about depp's threat is that it's only one example of this intense, violent, vitriol, out of control anger coming from the left. we have new audio tonight about a fired nebraskan democratic official saying that he was glad that congressman steve scalise was shocked, hoping he died. listen to this. >> this [bleep], his whole job is to get people -- convince republicans to kick people off of health care. >> we know all of this. >> i'm glad he got shot. i'm glad he got shot. i'm not going to say that in public. beyond over the the culprit copter tinfoil hat conspiracy news networks, nbc, political analyst, former front of the program, i'm actually shocked she made these comme

steve scully's is a great human being and these are friends and neighbors, members who serve in congresseriously. i worry prosecutors are not prosecuting these cases, law enforcement is not looking at them as deeply as they need to be but this particular person needs to be called out and shown for what he is, that hatred is so disgusting. >> the threats get worse, when you have been in the house a number of years have you seen an escalation when it comes to this nasty political rhetoric and personal threat you and many others have received? >> i saw it when donald trump was sworn in as president of the united states, there is something on the far left that went over the top because the death threats, the number of file personal attacks skyrocketed and just because they are coming in great quantity doesn't mean law enforcement and prosecutors shouldn't be pursuing them, they need to be called what they are and there are sick individuals and one took action and we need to make sure they are prosecuted so they don't take action in their own communities. >> extreme rhetoric, this health care

and now, knowing steve's stomach steve scully says we all do, he is probably really frustrated that he can't play in the baseball game. i know that he also wants us to commend the bravery of those who came to the aid of the wounded. in the coming days, we will hear their stories and we will have the chance to hold up their heroism. my colleagues, there are so many memories from this day that we want to forget, and there are so many images that we will not want to see again. there is one image in particular that this house should repeat and that is the photo i saw this morning of our democratic colleagues gathered in prayer this morning after hearing the news. every day we come here to test and to challenge each other. we feel so deeply about the things that we fight for in the things that we believe in, at times, our emotions can clearly get the best of us. we are all imperfect, but we do not shed our humanity when we enter this chamber. for all the noise and all the fury, we are one family. these were our brother and sisters in the line of fire. these were our brothers and sisters who

sort of like steve scully. that's the action we need in american politics. be kind and loving. that's what the message i liked. alex jones, i really don't -- he's no hero of mine. i'm a conservative. i do think you need to let people speak out. he need to tone down the rhetoric. we want to avoid what happened to poor steve scalise. don't be mean. i will lift up liberals. i don't agree with them. i think that's so important. that's the way we ought to be. don't attack people for their beliefs. host: appreciate the call from down in georgia. joe referring to that special election happening john ossoff democratic republican, karen handel running in that special election in georgia. it will take place tomorrow. very closely watched special election. we'll talk more about it later this week. be covering it tomorrow and wednesday as we check out the results from that race. here's more about it the story from "u.s.a. today" on it. patrick is up next in florida line for independents. your thoughts on this megyn kelly, alex jones interview? caller: i think it's a worthless story. that j

the picture that we saw on the baseball field the other day was horrific, everyone prays for steve scully's and the others who are injured and you so rightly point out the valiant behavior of the capitol hill police who were involved in that and we saw one of them out on the baseball diamond throughout that first pitch, it was stirring and very moving moment for everybody. in terms of how things change now, if there are others who were on his list and i'm sure they are investigating whether or not -- and there's no indication at this point that he was involved with anyone else, but are they investigating whether or not his circle went wider than just himself? mr. hodgkinson? >> i think they're trying to investigate every possible element, it seems clear that he acted alone but i don't want to prejudice any investigation. i don't want to take advantage of the moment but i want to say something about steve scalise. i know everyone is praying for him, i want to make sure he knows my name is on that list. steve has always been a very loving, decent human being to all the people in congress. he'
