in the crossfire tonight, congressman joe crowley and tom cole. i want to share, i was very struck by this, there was a poll today -- i want to put up this for a second, congressman crowley -- that asked the question, who do you blame most? i was fascinated when i saw it because it has secretary shinseki in the national va, the local va hospitals, or president obama. it didn't have the congress. and it struck me, and again, i'm a big, as you know as speaker of the house, i deeply believe in this. in all fairness, when you look at the systemic changes, when you look at this universal problem with information technology, doesn't congress need to take a really big bite at trying to figure out how to fix these things on a big scale? >> i think looking for the rainbow here because it's a dark period right now. people have died because of denial of care where they ought to have gotten that care. we need to find out why that happened. the end of the day, how can we make this system a better system? that's what it's about. getting the men and women who de

. >> joining us now republican representative from oklahoma, congressman tom cole. o see you as always. >> happy birthday, first of all. >> thank you. >> from a fellow taurus. joe, you're a lucky man to have a taurus as a partner. >> and we're stubborn. >> so i've heard. so i've experienced. so congressman, let me ask you -- let's switch topics here and talk about minimum wage. it was voted on in the senate and voted down. there's some republicans -- we had tim pawlenty on the other day and others that believe the minimum wage should be increased, not to 10.$10.10, but should be. but that it could be raised for compromise of keystone. >> i think you hit the formula. to put something that creates jobs with something that frankly is clearly going to cost jobs. you raise the minimum wage, you're going to lose tens of thousands of jobs across the country. second, you do have to realize in this case that, look. individual states can act on this as they choose to. 19 already have minimum wanls that are higher than the federal start. the point i made before, there's a big d

republican congressman tom cole recently floated the idea. >> would i look at a minimum wage increase i thought there were other things attached to it that would create jobs like keystone and additional things? i think i would car which because i think job creation is such an important thing. >> well, that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that he'd consider it if we give into big oil. earlier today senator john thune said republicans would be willing to talk about a keystone minimum wage deal. >> i voted for minimum wage increases in the past when they were coupled with things we thought would create jobs. the problem we have, i'm somebody who worked for minimum wage. i think a lot of people can identify and associate with people who are working at minimum wage levels, a lot of those people will be younger people, first jobs, entry level jobs. in my state of south dakota a lot of seasonal work we need those jobs and those jobs will go away if you raise the money him wage. having said that, i think if you were looking at a 40-hour work week going back to that, doing things on keys

start with this, your last letter about this had about two senators on this, you and republican tom coleat name they are using there very offensive. this one has 49. are you finding growing momentum here? >> absolutely. this is a historic day, and we're so proud of the members who are willing to stand up and join native americans across the united states, which there are millions of, who do find this racial slur an offensive. so we want to make sure that we keep the momentum building and that we make sure that people understand that the nfl, that the nba took very fast action, and we would hope that they would follow suit. >> and then, senator, i want to get your thoughts on this, several of your republican colleagues asked either they weren't asked to join the letter or hadn't heard about it, senator mccain responded he probably would have signed it if asked. are you going to ask them? >> we will certainly ask them. we're proud we were able to get to 50 and thought it would be something that would help our colleagues, so we're going to back and ask them to help us join this fight. >> ye

but from a lot of people, even tom cole who is a republican from oklahoma, a native american man from he's also called for the redskins to talk about changing their name as well. so it continues to get attention. >> it is not just the redskins. there are a number of pro-sports teams that have native american logos that some might find offensive. jason, dan snyder has been pretty adamant in saying that he is not going to change the name. to some degree, is this political posturing or is there really a chance that snyder would reconsider his decision? >> i mean the whole sterling element of it, it is not an apples to apples comparison because daniel snyder was not called on tape obviously making disparaging remarks about native americans saying he didn't want native americans coming to his games. however, having said that, i do believe the name clearly is offensive. it would probably be a good idea for them to change it. however, i don't think he will change it unless you see the type of economic pressure that was brought against the clippers after sterling's comments. i don't think --

i also want to thank my friend, the gentleman from oklahoma, tom cole, who really i couldn't say enough good things about what an incredible partner he has been. we really have an i'll say that several times throughout my remarks worked cooperatively, collaboratively, and i think the finest compliment i can pay another member is that they are an institutionalist. someone who has incredible respect for those that came before us, and the history and led ion and all that has to us being the finest democratic institution in the entire world. we are stewards of the capitol come plecks in the legislative branch appropriations subcommittee, and the chairman really has most definitely recognized that and honored it. the budget deal struck during the shutdown last year gave us two years of discretionary caps so that the appropriations committee can now get on with the business of funding important government programs. there are many opinions about how these resources should be allocate the amongst programs, but that's a legitimate debate rather than the alternative which we saw during the govern
