they are playing for high stakes. >> tom cole from oklahoma. i feel like i get straight talk from you. >> you bet. >> now let's hear from the other side. as we told you, a shut down can mean furloughs for 150,000 federal workers in virginia alone to delay benefit payments from 800,000 veterans in just virginia. a government shut down costs the federal government 40 to $80 million. that's each day to cost taxpayers for every day the government is shut down. jerry conley of virginia who is just out of washington for employees and general contractors. good morning, sir. >> good morning. >> you are at all -- assuming the government does shut down, what are provisions that you think you think can be passed by the house and the senate to protect. you have the military pay issue and what else would you try to do while the whole shut down negotiation takes place. >> one has to remember this shut down unlike the one 17 years ago will be comprehensive. we have not passed a single appropriations bill. that's very different. >> that's a partial shut down.

fourth district deputy majority whip tom cole.hank you for joining us. >> alex, thank you. >> i'd like to begin with syria, congressman. we know you're no fan of military intervention. i ask you given where we are today are you in support of the talks we're holding with the russians to put the syrian weapons supply under international control? >> certainly. i'd be delighted if that happens. like everybody else, i have some degree of scepticism whether it can. we ought to let the process work. there's russian interest in this. i don't think they want to be sponsor of a client state that uses these type of weapons. second they have 25 million muslims inside their own country and they have had plenty of albertson's of terrorism within russia itself. the idea these types of weapons would be floating around is something they would be contender about as well. this actually may be an area we can work together and get something done. >> congressman, some folks, smshl those in the white house would say part of the reasons the russians and

tom cole, if you guys think it is such a bad idea to shut down the government, why did you both vote for it? why did you vote to shut down the government when you got a chance to vote for it last week. the republicans vote for a shutdown was 228-1, and neither of you guys was the one. you guys are voting for it and trying to put the back lash on somebody else. they are trying to get the shutdown that their republican politics demands while taking none of the blame for it. because they know what happened in 1995. they know how badly it hurt them the last time the republicans did it and they know it will happen again. government shutdown, set to begin in six days and there sits history just waiting to repeat itself. joining us now is frank palone, the democratic congressman of new jersey. he was there the last time the government was shut down in 1995. and now he is watching it close to happening again. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> when republicans did this in 1995 in the clinton era, it was pretty disastrous for them politically both in the polls at the time and in the n

tom cole and others say the one way we lose majority is if we provoke some sort of crisis. the president was hurt in 2011 by what happened, but republicans may have been hurt more. the president won re-election after that. i think the president is serious about this. i'm not sure that has sunk in. there are some things republicans have asked for that i think the president will go along with at some point. some of this is cosmetic. i think he'll eventually approve the keystone pipeline. one is more medicare means testing. the president proposed some of that in his budget. some of this is how you talk about it and when you talk about it but i think he's serious. one of the things we're waiting for, remember how cheap we got a debt limit deal earlier this year. somebody came up with the genius idea saying if the senate doesn't pass a budget they won't get paid. yeah, we'll stick it to them with that. that was their condition, easily satisfied, inconsequential. somebody did pass a budget. somebody has to have major league level of innovation on this one. >> howard, there is als

. >> joining me now is republican tom cole, from oklahoma, a member of the house budget committee. congressman, i'm seeing reports that the house caucus itself does not have the required number of votes necessary to pass its own plan that has this long wish list of republican priorities. what the heck is going on down there? >> well, first of all, i have to say, that's the most remarkably misleading lead-in i've ever seen for minute after minute after minute. but -- >> wait, what is misleading -- >> let me finish my answer. >> oh, gosh, do you want me to count the ways? >> yes! >> nancy pelosi, of course she didn't want to poke the debt limit, she wanted to spend more money, not less. the reality is, the american people think we ought to be in a negotiating posture on these things. 61%, according to the bloomberg recent poll says, if we're going to raise the debt limit, which is something, by the way, i'm willing to do, and something barack obama never did when he was in the united states senate. he's asking us to do for him what he would not do for george w. bush. >> it was a symb

>> you heard what tom cole had to say, that the president has been awol in all of this. do you think he needs to get involved in a different way? >> tom cole has also said i think that he thinks it's a mistake for the republicans to hold up this shutdown as leverage to try to get something completely unrelated to the budget. no, i think the president has done the right thing. in fact i think the president has done the only thing he can, unless he wants to invite this kind of extortion attempt on the next continuing resolution, on the debt ceiling debate. it has to come to an end and the president has been very clear about this. if we were going to have a traditional negotiation, it might have looked different. the senate might have put in a higher number to keep the government running and the house could have said, no, we want the lower number and we would have compromised at a number in the middle. that would be a rational process of negotiation. we've given them what they want on the number and now they're seeking to extort something completely unrelated to the budget

this is tom cole, fourth ranking republican in the house. the guy who just said this summer that shutting down the government to get your way over an unrelated piece of legislation, ie obamacare, is the political equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum and now it sounds like he's totally in line. what the heck happened? >> you'll be able to tell your children and grandchildren you once lived in a parallel universe. the house republicans have now taken a complete about face to be loyal to their speaker. you're right about what congressman cole said this consumer. pete king, the republican, said just yesterday it would be a kamikaze mission. today he says let do it. the speaker has decided because he accepted it to the senate. the senate most likely will accepted it back and then the challenge begins. if the senate leaves that money in there, then the house will act again and i'm told when they act again, they will try again on health care. will they try to cut part of it, try to just delay it a year. we'll go through this dance for at least a

congressman tom cole is a republican from oklahoma. he will vote no. u.s.s. i want to start with mr. cal. were you for the iraq war? i'm trying to find some consistency here. were you a hawk for the war in iraq and now a dove? is there any consistency there? >> i was not 234 congress when the original vote was taken. i was certainly supportive for the war and if i had been there, i would have supported it. if that's your designation, i would have been a hawk. >> why did you change? >> first of all, thing is a different kind of war. and it's a pretty nasty war. it's a civil war. it's a proxy war between the saudis and the iranians and it's also a religious war. second, i don't see immediate american vital interests at stake here or any of our allies. we haven't been attacked. they haven't been attacked. third, i don't think the measures that the president are proposing are going to make much of a difference. to me they're much more of a gesture than a real policy or strategy. >> mr. deutsch, what is your view on this? i don't know your past positions. maybe

this is tom cole, fourth ranking republican in the house. the guy who just said this summer that shutting down the government to get your way over an unrelated piece of legislation, ie obamacare, is the political equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum. >> right. >> now it sounds like he's totally in line. what the heck happened? >> erin, you're saying this is a bad thing. you're going to be able to tell your children and grandchildren your once lived in a parallel universe. the house republicans have now taken a complete about face to be loyal to their speaker. you're right about what congressman cole said this summer. pete king the congressman from new york the republican said just yesterday or the day before it would be a kamikaze mission for the house to do this. today he says great let's do it. the speaker has decided because he has no choice to do this in round one, to pass the legislation. probably happen tomorrow. send it over to the senate. it keep the government running no. funding for the president's health care plan. the senate m

republican congressman tom cole is in his home state of oklahoma today taking the temperature of his district, which including tinker air force base, for what action, if any, should be taken. john harwood has been with the congressman all day in oklahoma. john? >> reporter: maria, it's a conservative, pro-military district, but the time we spent with tom cole, who has a town meeting at the college behind me tonight, shows how big of a challenge it will be for the president to get the votes he needs in the house of representatives. congressman cole himself is skeptical, and he's hearing that from his constituents, as well, including at this chamber of commerce meeting this morning. >> am i willing to send americans into the middle of that when we have -- in my view, not a direct security interest, i'm just, again, i'm very, very skeptical. >> what is the plan? i haven't seen the plan that's been forward, and my brother's in the military. so i -- you know, i watch closely, is there a reason, and how many american lives are we willing to sacrifice for this? >> reporter: well, congressma

yesterday on the hill, when i was talking to even the more moderate republicans, like michael grimm and tom coleeen critical of the shutdown strategy, they are saying they are completely unified by this plan, which is likely to provoke a shutdown. the politics have definitely shifted on this within the republican party over the last few days and weeks. >> the bill is a complete nonstarter for the senate and the president, right? is this the view of the few prevailing over the actual many? >> yes, i guess you could definitely say that. as, you know, it was just mentioned that the republicans have actually gone further to the right on this. speaker john boehner just a couple of weeks ago was advocating for more of a symbolic takeover of obama care that would basically allow the government spending to continue without this demand. and i would say that this is something that although it's surprising, it's not completely out of the blue, right? over the past two or three years, we've seen the republicans go further to the right because of the tea party wave and, obviously, they really hate obama care

congressman tom cole calls it a temper tantrum.t's ill conceived. joining me now is congressman doug collins, republican from georgia. a close sponsor of the bill to defund obama care as part of any plan to fund the government. thanks for joining me, congressman. >> good evening, al. good to be with you. >> now, why do you think you're right and these other republicans are wrong? >> well, i'm new up here. but i ran on a campaign of understanding and listening to the american people over this health care issue. one of the things since i've gotten up here, i'll be honest with you. i sat back and listened to the democrats. i called to those across the aisle that called this a train wreck, not ready for primetime. they went on and on about how this law is not ready to be. even the president has put it off from the businessman date and putting things together. this is not ready for the american people. so the republicans are not shutting down the government. in fact, we're fully funding the government through our cr except we're saying

. >> republican congressman tom cole said the futility of trying to get rid of the health care law, it'sobama is the president of the united states. senator ted cruz, he says that even he doesn't believe they can pass the senate. harry reid will no doubt try to strip the defund language from the continuing resolution, and right now he's likely to have the votes to do so. so are they wrong? do you see some path to victory that fellow republicans don't see? >> actually, what i see is that if the american people rise up enough and put enough pressure on them and if they true -- these senators truly represent the people in nar states, yes, yes it can be defunded. a month ago no one thought the leadership in the house would bring it to the floor. and i praised the leadership in the house for listening to the american people and standing up and bringing it to the floor. but i want to say something here. everybody is -- >> wait, wait. let me ask you something on that. you said if they listen to their constituents. the majority of the u.s. senate is democratic and they were elected by their cons

this is a district in -- outside of oklahoma city that voted 2-1 against president obama, tom cole, the congressman, is supportive of the military, has an air force base in the district, but he's got to hear the case for why we should commit u.s. forces to this enterprise, and even if it is not boots on the ground, even if it is just cruise missiles, this is a pretty grave decision for members of congress, republican and democrat alike, and i'm going to be following tom cole meeting with the chamber of commerce in this building behind me. he's going to go to the air force base, talk to officers there and then have a town meeting tonight and we'll get to take some of the temperature of exactly how much the president is going to be able to get congress to go along with what he wants to do. >> what is the timing of all this. congress is not back in session until next week. is there a chance they get brought back early and once they do, then what happens? >> no, they won't get brought back early. what is happening early is the senate committee hearings i would expect that the senate would v

lets start by look at the democrat -- this is a quote from tom cole, republican from oklahoma. this is what he said yesterday. obama hasn't got a chance to win this vote if he can't win the majority of his own party and i doubt he can. he is a war president without a war party. richard wolffe looking at the democratic party, democrats on capitol hill, what do you make of that assessment? >> lets come back to the british situation for a start. the reason they lost was actually because two things, they were incredibly bad at votes, two or three dozen of the conservatives own majority were on vacation, several of the government minister. you have to be able to count and win votes. when you look at the democratic party clearly a substantial minority that will vote again this resolution. so the only way this gets through is for both sides of congress the majority and minority to come together. you're not going to have a clean majority of either side. you're going to have a coalition. that's what failed in britain, you had a coalition splintering, people in the majority not showing u

i was just in midwest city, oklahoma, with a republican member tom cole who everywhere he went in hisg pounded by people saying stay out of syria. the leadership of the congress is counting on members getting back here, being in a different environment, not hearing from everybody on the street, to then fall in line behind the administration, the intelligence briefing. some of the leaders of both of their parties and say, you know, what it may not be popular but we've got to do this. the president has got to hope that works. >> john, thank you very much, john harwood, live from washington. >>> let's go bag to st. petersburg for more reaction. cnbc steve sedgwick is standing by. steve, what are you able to tell us? >> simon, i want to pick up on your line, if i may. i think there was a reporting exactly faithfully what you just said. if attacked we will come to syria's aid. i want to give the viewers the entire segment that president putin said, i think it puts it in a bit more context and is his furious, less aggressive than perhaps one line on its own stands. in answer to reporter que

let me assert without undermining his credibility i don't think tom cole wants sequester. and by the way i have a quote here which indicates that eric cantor, the majority leader, so n't think sequester is hot, either. here's what hal rogers said, however, and i would like to debate this for some period of time, but i don't have the time. with this action we pulled the transportation bill, the appropriation process is broken. irrelevant. dismissed. and by the way when they marked up their first three bills that they passed the house, they didn't use their sequester number. they used the number that the senate is marking to. because they knew their number doesn't work. their number that is included in the bill that would be the result of this rule. mr. cole, you're my friend and i have great respect for you and i think you believe that, but here's what hal rogers said, with this action, pulling the transportation bill, the house has declined to proceed on the implementation of the very budget it adopted just three months ago. mr. rogers, conservative, kentucky, republican,

the cole street clinic is a youth clinic in the heart of the haight ashbury and they target youth. tomers are health centers in those particular communities that are family health centers, so they provide health care to patients across the age span. . >> many of our clients are working poor. they pay their taxes. they may run into a rough patch now and then and what we're able to provide is a bridge towards getting them back on their feet. the center averages about 14,000 visits a year in the health clinic alone. one of the areas that we specialize in is family medicine, but the additional focus of that is is to provide care to women and children. women find out they're pregnant, we talk to them about the importance of getting good prenatal care which takes many visits. we initially will see them for their full physical to determine their base line health, and then enroll them in prenatal care which occurs over the next 9 months. group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have similar due dates. our doctors here ar
