0 others. >> 70,000 children will be kicked out of head start. nothing in this bill deals with them. 4 million fewer meals on wheels for seniors. 600,000 people dropped off wic. nothing there for them. >> our military families that will lose the support because we've got the sequester all on the shoulders of those who believe -- >> gentleman's time has expired. >> slash and burn. >> absolutely, slash and burn until it's your turf, your runway and you've got a recess coming up. congress, first-class travel without delays. with us now from capitol hill is congresswoman jan schakowsky, democrat of illinois. good afternoon, ma'am. >> good afternoon, martin. thanks for having me. >> without wishing to be impolite to you, personally, how does it feel to be the member of a body that won't do anything that might reduce the 32,000 people who die each year from gun violence? that can't find any way to but what about those children? you know, in indiana, martin, they're having a lottery to figure out which children are going to be kicked out of the head start program? >> yes, i read that. >> yeah. it's also -- >> you know, ma'am, it's hardly surprising that the american people would rather contract gonorrhea or the ebola virus rather than show any respect for congress when it's perfectly obvious that members will only take action when it affects them. i mean, this is the most shameless self-serving political body of any democratic nation. isn't it? >> well, i certainly would agree that picking on this one, as jay carney called it, a band-aid to put on a very big problem, is ridiculous. and, yes, it is somewhat self-serving, although, you know, the important part of our economy is that the airplaneses fly and they fly on time. so i'm not totally unsympathetic to that, but i am -- i voted against the sequester because it would do exactly these broad-scale things. the department of defense is affected. u.s. department of customs and immigration is affected. the epa. all of the functions of government. and we're doing this one little thing? okay. i'll do it. but we have to get rid of the sequester. and it is not a fake government political thing. many of them voted for it. >> indeed. but you see, when the president proposed the american jobs act two years ago, an act, by the way, that would create over a million jobs. >> correct. >> an act that would increase gdp by at least 1.5%. in a nation where the majority of our bridges and roads are now substandard. nobody would give it the time of day in congress, but you make a member wait for his flight and they shift $250 million around so that air traffic controllers don't have to be furloughed. what are we supposed to think of we featured in video a 99-year-old woman called frances haskell who told a reporter that her only meal of the day come the via meals on wheels, and that 99-year-old woman is about to lose that provision. and nobody in congress displays a scintilla of interest in her predicament and yet we have the decision today. >> there will be 4 million meals -- i don't know about mrs. haskell -- but i know there will be 4 million meals that are lost to people who depend on those every single day in order to have some nutritious diet. it's just -- it's inexplicable to me. i look sometimes and i think, who are these people? that they would do that when we don't need to? this is self-inflicted and we don't need to do it. or other inflicted. >> indeed. to be fair to you, congress wovm, you were delayed earlier this week when we hoped you'd join us to discuss a bill that would create thousands of jobs for police officers. that bill that you're proposing. in the light of what happened in boston, that seems like an imminently sensible proposal, but i have to ask you, ma'am, is there any possibility a sensible bill like that would ever pass through this house? >> it's hard to explain why we wouldn't want more of the first responders in our communities given what happened in boston. that we wouldn't appropriate the kind of money to create these good jobs, these well-paying jobs and these essential jobs in our community. i really can't explain it, but i think, martin, that it has very little chance of passing. i've been actually accused in a very derogatory term, oh, all you want to do, up to hire more teachers and firefighters and police officers. well, that's exactly what i do want to do and i think it's a good thing. >> it absolutely is. congresswoman jan schakowsky, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, martin. next, the war on islam, the war on an american's rights. stay with us. and now we have essential sli duct tape over the mouth of this terrorist and we can't use him to link together this treasure-trove of information and the people who are hurt the most are the people watching your show. >> i couldn't agree more. her viewers are being hurt. stay with us. the capital one cash rewards card gives you 1% cash back on all purchases, plus a 50% annual bonus. and everyone but her... no. no! no. ...likes 50% more cash. but i don't give up easy... do you want 50% more cash?
