we're coming up on sunset and the sun sinking in the sky here in washington, d.c. randall, you talked to three family members who were in washington, d.c. to take a look at the seat of government. they were on a hot dog break, correct? >> yes, they were having a hot dog when the shots rang out. i'm sure that spoiled their meal right away. they are safe, they're find. they complimented all the law enforcement authorities who responded so quickly to take control of the situation. i just looked out the window along louisiana. and i can see a couple of blocks away there is a barricade set up on much of the capitol grounds still off limits in the vicinity of the crime scene. on the other hand there is a bicyclist going by on the plaza near the pool. obviously authorities were able to ascertain fairly quickly this was, indeed, as the chef said, day so soonincident. after gunfire and after a police chase through the streets of the nation's capitol. >> it's important to here, look, this is a major metropolitan city in america, and it has had its issues and it's problems wit

capitol is not located in the safest of areas, and washington, d.c. does have a problem with violent crime. bend the capitol, on the oustest side is probably one of the worst pockets of violent crime in all of washington, d.c. while washington, d.c. does have certainly gun laws, unfortunately, they're not abided by, by people who are wish to go do harm. >> when i lived there, that's what it was known for, the violence. you pick up the "washington post" and find throughout had been three or four shootings overnight. it was a favorite ploy of tv people who went in to washington on a pre-visit to compare and contrast of poverty of those areas, up in the northeast, not far from there. and thand we are we have a wickf up with the other in the background. let me try to sum up. there is not a lot to say at the moment other than the fact that the police have said there has been an incident. either in or close to the u.s. capitol building. we are speculating it was on the senate side of the building because that is where that camera is pointing to the multitude

the launch of our been in washington d.c. and here's what's coming up tonight on the big picture they waited for the last.

the senators are making their way in and it's a rainy day there in washington, d.c. >> reporter: it certainly is, thomas. but the tone has changed here in washington, d.c., after that meeting that you talked about last night between president obama and house republicans. we are told that house speaker john boehner put an offer on the table essentially to increase the debt limit without reopening the government. he said before we can do that, let's have budget negotiations. president obama didn't reject the offer but he didn't accept it rooireither. he said, look, we need to do both at the same time. we need to reopen the government. and i am told that a number of establishment republicans agree with that thinking and that they have been increasingly voicing that opinion to house speaker john boehner. so it's back to the drawing board to some extent, but all sides describing that meeting as positive and constructive. so i do think that the tone has changed here a bit. there is more optimism that

as a form he governor, do you look at these numbers and say honestly, the d.c. washingtononal republicans are destroying your party? destroying your brand? >> can i tell you the truth as you know it? the great seat of american politics, state legislatures have created these safe, very safe seats. strong right, strong left. they are going back. we've been there actually. they're here and go get them. both right and left. so i would argue the congressional approval generally can go to zero. one, and most of these folks are coming back because of the line of state legislatures. >> well, that's very, very discouraging. hopefully when we come back we'll be able to talk about it more. i want to you stay here. we're going to do a cease fire. we'll see if there is anything we can agree on. he want you at home to weigh in on today's halloween fireback question. is obama care a trick or a treat? apply with either trick or treat using #crossfire. >> a little editorial. ido more with less with buless energy. hp is helping ups do just that. soon, the world's most intelligent servers, d

. >> how does the shutdown in virginia -- about 30% of the electorate is in the d.c., washington, d.c. suburban area. this can't be helping. >> it can't be helping at all. i think it reinforces the negative message mcauliffe is running against kush nelly. it's the last thing he needed. his people are saying we didn't need the government shutdown because it's hard to talk about all the positive things that cuccinelli represents. the democrats from the president on down in every election run the same negative model over and over. i remember watching hillary clint clinton. it was an entirely negative message. why now you would think the candidates would figure out how to respond. they would be prepared going in for them. but it seems they never are. >> how important is this campaign, mcauliffe's victory for the hillary clinton candidacy in 2016, kim? >> look, hillary clinton out stumping for him. encourdorsed him, raising money him. she knows virginia is an absolutely vital state to getting the electoral votes you need if you want to win the presidency. terry mcauliffe is many, many thin

economy right now is the elected representatives in washington, d.c. what an extraordinary thing to have to say, but that is the commentary in most of the newspapers this morning and on the websites as people realize that what is happening is we are just moving from short termism to short termism and there's no real effort being made as mike was saying just now to look at this in the long term. that is what wall streeted message was. wall street looked at the basic facts. they looked at the government shutdown and in particular at the debt ceiling needed to be raised by today, and they came to a logical conclusion that whatever happened, has congress would finally do it and they did. >> the dow down 78 points. we are awaiting word from the white house concerning the debt deal that was reached last night ending the government shutdown. we are going to take a break right now to pay some of our bills. we'll be right back. >> i'm del walters coming to you live from new york. right now, we are awaiting word from president obama concerning the deal reached la

yet another tragic instance of that unfortunately here in the nation's capital to you know right now it's a sound science life in washington d.c. thank you very much indeed for that. and you can see how the chinese unfolded throughout central washington by taking a look at base right here and starting at the white house the suspects advances all the way to the council building coming under police fire the chase ended almost two miles away from the white house where the driver was killed. i joined the majority leader in expressing our gratitude to the capitol police. so then two of the conch haste following the shooting death of the suspect received a plea also in the us congress will make us all the officers involved fall carrying out that but dr mark mason believes officials had other ways they could have stopped the moment. given the fact that we have been on armed email the police have comported say that she was on armed there was an infant in the car. there was no gunfire of any kind that came from the car at any time a lot of questions need to be asked i think that there is reason to believe that the police in washington

the actual location washington d.c. for creating this sort of empathy gap between what's actually the problems americans are facing today and the problems that congress is focused on is there's something in the air in washington d.c. that inhibits our empathy we're receptors. no it's just that this is where it happens this is where the groups coalesced in and they have these interactions but i think that what will happen is that either members of congress will realize that we're all part of a bigger group and have to come together or the larger group that is america the citizens are going to remind them through their votes that that you know this is this is not an acceptable behavior to sabotage the normal operation of government and i think by and large people don't accept that there's something that actually psychopathic about choosing to be a politician choosing to go to appeal to people for you know ask for votes all the time i mean there's been studies one percent of the population is believed to be psychopathic som

it doesn't seem like any of these dates are really getting the attention of people in washington, d.c., the number of days the shutdown is going on, whether or not the debt ceiling is looming on the 17th and now the secretary advising everybody about the november 1st date. >> you know, the only reason that in addition he's not able -- he doesn't say that the health care that provided to millions of our veterans that have come out without limbs, with posttraumatic stress disorder and tbi, brain injuries, is because in 2009 congress passed a law that said we'll fund one year ahead the health care of our veterans. now, if that debt ceiling is broken, thomas, we will have up to 40% of our veterans thrown out of the va system, no longer being able to take care of their limbs. look, let me tell you what a taxi driver just told me as i was driving in here today. he said he brought up this topic that i was going to be on and he started to talk about the impact of our va because of the lack of governance in washington, d.c., with the shutdown. he said, you know, i served in vietnam and we vete

d.c. so it's big business after the federal government lobbying is the next biggest business the washington d.c. . lobbyists function is the razor to guard dogs from big industry making sure congress does their bit but big loyal uses a far more aggressive means of tightening its leash around congress' neck here's the reality you're sitting there is a billionaire you make money on bullshit making money maybe you're exxon mobil you can no contribute to self only front organization which can then what millions and millions of millions of dollars of television ads into campaigns hold in this country what it really is same is that we are giving unbelievable power to a handful of people to control the politics and the nature of our democracy. on a. national scale fuel companies have huge power over our government. but didn't we throw those oil guys out in the last election. didn't we elect the guy who is going to change things. i believe that americans of every political stripe are desperate they are hungry for a new kind of hope that. most people go into go to go in because they care about what

the d.c. -- washington, d.c. suburban area. a lot of them are government workers. can't be helping cuccinelli. >> it can't be helping at all. i think it reenforces the negative message that mcauliffe is running against cuccinelli. his people are saying we didn't need the government shutdown because it makes it hard for us to talk about all the positive things that cuccinelli represents. just to pick up kim's point, the democrats from the president on down in every election run the same negative model over and over. i remember watching hillary clinton in the democratic primaries four years ago. she was terrific, but it was an entirely negative message. by now you would think republican candidates would have figured out how to respond to the these. >> >> hillary clinton is out stumping for him, has endorsed him, is racing money for him because she knows virginia is one of those absolutely vital states to getting the electoral votes that you need if you want to win the presidency. terry mcauliffe is many, many things, not all of them pleasant. but what he is very good
