good morning and thank you for joining us. i'm michaela pereira. >> and i'm her sidekick john berman. carol costello is off today. >> do not be fooled. we begin this morning in gridlocked washington with the sound and the fury. >> usa! usa! >> usa! >> frustrations go from a simmer to a boil outside the white house as conservative protesters pile up barricades that surrounded the world war ii and the lincoln memorials. >> shame on you! shame on you! >> reporter: these protesters say they are fed one the partial government shutdown and its

closure of national landmarks but the greatest tension in washington may be building toward thursday's zedline the government's potential default on its debt. jim acosta is at the white house and with just over 60 hours left now on the clock, all hope seems to be with two men who don't like each other too much. any signs of progress at all this morning? >> reporter: not net john. to give you a sense of how desperate things are becoming in washington the only movement reported in the last 24 hours is a phone conversation between the senate's top two leaders, harry reid and mitch mcconnell. they have to work together if it means averting a big crisis. with the clock ticking down to debt ceiling day it's come down to senate majority leader harry reid and minority leader mitch mcconnell, who started

orchestrating a deal to reopen the government and avoid default. >> i've had a productive conversation with republican leader this afternoon, our discussions were substantive and we'll continue those discussions. >> reporter: the question is whether they can get there in time. >> both leaders realize how difficult default would be, the devastation it would cause to america. >> reporter: but talks over the weekend appear to stumble again as republicans accused reid of overreaching by seeking additional concessions from republicans over those forced budget cuts in the sequester. >> now is the time to be magnanimous, sit down and get this done. >> reporter: the white house said president obama was standing firm, in a phone call with nancy pelosi, that there must be clean bills to extend the debt ceiling and end the shutdown with no strings attached. tensions are boiling over. >> this is the people's memorial. >> reporter: texas senator ted cruz led a protest over the closing of the world war ii memorial on the national mall that drew this verbal attack on the president.

>> i call upon all of you to wage a second american non-violent revolution, to use civil disobedience and demand this president leave town, to get up, to put the koran down, to get up off his knees and to figuratively come up with his hands out. >> usa! >> reporter: veterans and tea party activists grabbed monument security barricades and dumped them in front of the white house. before a rowdy face-off with park police in riot gear, one man waved the confederate flag. others called for impeachment. >> they gave them back to president obama piling them in front of his house, our house, i'm sorry, in front of our house. >> reporter: while another tea party backed senator was calling for compromise. >> i think we should have an agreement in advance.

>> reporter: now at this hour a bipartisan group of senators is scheduled to meet on their own plan and the group is led by west virginia democrat joe manchin and maine republican susan collins. some of the elements include pushing back of the debt ceiling into next year, a deal to reopen the government but it also includes a delay in the medical device tax that helps pay for obama chair, the white house has been cool to that idea but we'll walt and see as the clock clicks, excuse me, ticks closer to october 17th, whether the president might be able to move on some of these issues, he says he doesn't want to do a deal that has stringd attached to it. as you saw with that commotion yesterday outside the white house, that is an indication how difficult it is going to be to push any deal through the heart where a lot of tea party backed republicans are suspicious that the point. >> a frayedon slip you say

toast, we could all be toast if they don't get this going. >> the clock ticks while the stalemate in washington is sending shudders through the stock markets the ripple effect. investors appear to be losing confidence that a deal will be hammered out before the deadline. alison kosik the closing bell just under a half hour away. what are you sensing? >> we're looking at the opening bell in less than a half hour. this as optimism from last week quickly fades because that's when the dow gained a total of 460 points, recovering all the losses it wracked up since the shutdown started october 1st. if the market perceives there's no deal you'll see the market give back the gains that it took last week and the global view of the u.s. standoff, center stage at a finance conference, jamime

dimo and christine lagarde the managing fund's director sat down with richard quest to express the feeling of the group. >> they are concerned because the u.s. is the biggest economic, economy in the world, because it trades with all of them, because it has massive financial consequences for them as well, so it's an international concern that was expressed. >> and the nervousness is not just playing out in the stock market. also in the start they were borrowing market. the interest rate on the one-month treasury bill is moving sharply higher as investors get more worried whether the government will pay the treasury note if a debt ceiling deal isn't done. big companies use the t bill to park short term cash and a disruption could have repercussions for the entire quit market and we could see that trickle down to the interest rate we pay on our credit cards and mortgages and

car loans, you name it. this is a real life drama playing out on capitol hill that could happen in the homes of many americans. >> we know it's about confidence for investors but for traders it has to be frustrating. . >> the funny thing is the 11th hour deals have become just an everyday occurrence but they are growing pessimistic. lot of the traders last week were saying there will be a debt deal, they're growing more pessimistic and that's why you're seeing the market react. one thing that wall street can do and may do is send in a strong little nudge more than a nudge to washington by having a sell-off more than one day and maybe pushing washington to make a decision sooner rather than later. >> a strong little nudge hit you in the 401(k) we all feel that nudge going on. alison kosik, thank you so much. other top stories, parts of central texas trying to dig out and dry out after seeing flooding this weekend, crews rescued several people from vehicles. a foot of rain fell in a 12-hour period turning roads into temporary rivers, even

whitewater rapids. an aationthree inches of rain are in the forecast today and that could create a flash flood hazard. overnight in los angeles a bottle of dry ice exploded at lax, temporarily shutting down the international terminal and delaying several flights, that explosion apparently happened in an employee bathroom. thankfully no one was injured but the sfooib investigating. a columbus day weekend celebration near miami nearly ended in tragedy. 45-foot boat capsized dumping 30 people in biscayne bay. boaters responded rescuing everyone, luckily for them including a dog on board rescued also. no reports of serious injuries. the case is under investigation. now we have an unbelievable story of survival. >> this is one you'll be hearing a whole lot about. this is a 72-year-old man, ishes a hunter and he's alive after he

was lost in a forest for 19 days. >> 19 days, nearly three weeks, zhou how did he do it? he ate snakes, frogs, lizards and algae. cnn's miguel marquez has more. >> reporter: 19 days lost in the wilderness, injured and dehydrated and a 72-year-old man survived. gene penaflor vanished in the mendocino national forest in northern california. he was on a hunting trip got separated from his partner and suffered a serious fall. >> reporter: when he finally woke up he was disoriented, suffering a head injury. he was stranded in the middle of nowhere, forced to eat lizards, frogs and squirrels just to stay alive.

>> the process the three squirrels were dead because of me. >> reporter: he scavenged water from a drain source and huddled under logs to stay out of the snow and rain and kept warm by making fires using leaves and grass. meanwhile penaflor's family spent every single one of the 19 days praying he was still out there, still alive. >> 19 days i know was nothing for him so i knew he was there. >> reporter: rescue teams have been searching for penaflor for weeks. he was found saturday by a group of hunters at the bottom of a ravine. by then he could no longer walk on his own. he was carried on a makeshift stretcher. thankfully and miraculously he is okay. mr. penaflor thought he was going to die out there. >> 19 days, why wouldn't you? >> absolutely incredible, but he cut a lucky break. he had water to survive on, and he finally was able to get some hunters near enough to get to them. >> he had such a benefit being an outdoorsman, he was a hunter and sounds like he opted for

smaller game and such, he decided not to go after the big game. he had a gun with him, didn't he? >> he didn't have a choice. he fell down a ravine, took a crack to his head, near a water source there but he couldn't move very well. so he saw helicopters overhead, he saw a deer in the distance but couldn't get to them so he was eating whatever was right around him, squirrels, you've eaten a squirrel before i'm sure. >> what an incredible story, 19 days. i'm sure by that point a week in his family had already written him off. >> his son thought after 14 days we're getting into trouble and it is amazing. he kept going. we water. >> you can't last for a while without water. >> he was able to get the hunter's attention and they saved him. >> what a story. >> sounds like the guy you want to go camping with. i have a great story, with one swing of the bat the boston red sox are right back in the american league championship. >> this is why you're excited

about this. >> david ortiz, big papi, one swing, into the bull pen, torey hunter, back with his hands raised, erased a huge deficit in the ninth inning, the walkoff by jarrod saltalamacchia, down 5-1 in the eighth irnning. game three is tuesday in detroit. >> here is the question, as you watched the game live are you doing live play-by-play as it's happening? >> imeterrified hiding in the corner sweating bullets and pacing. i can't talk at all, live play-by-play. >> tuesday don't call berman. a lot of talk in washington. >> unfortunately not a lot of time. will we get an answer from capitol hill today about possibly adestroyeding the debt ceiling and hitting it? senator joe manchin said there is compromise to be had. is there? we're live from d.c. next.

frauding the system. also we agreed skru to go to conference. we couldn't get them to set down a budget conference. we've done that. we've agreed to cr in the debt ceiling being extended out, that's up to the leadership. we have a template that works and agreed on the template as far as what the details are, needs to be worked out by leadership and we want to help them. >> joining us from washington is erin mcpike. good morning to you. manchin has said a template has been agreed to, the white house doesn't like that that medical device tax is delayed. is this at least a starting point for a deal, do you think? >> it is but there was a lot of excitement over this deal, potential deal over the weekend, but some people are saying maybe everyone spoke too soon. democrats are interested in talking about it but there's no deal. i want to read to you a statement that six senators put out yesterday afternoon after

there was talk of a potential deal, these senators, six of them, five were democrats, including joe manchin and one independent, they said we have been involved in productive bipartisan discussions with senator collins and other republican senators but we do not support the proposal in its current form. there are negotiations but there is no agreement. michaela, last week at this time we were talking about how both sides weren't talking, they weren't negotiating. that was the break-through both sides are talking and negotiating. will it be done by thursday? that's the jury is still out but i've talked to a number of senators including rob portman a republican from ohio who has been part of the talks and is he also optimistic that something will be done by thursday but of course things have been slow going up on capitol hill. >> erin we're appreciative there are all of the pockets of discussion going on finally in washington. particularly on the senate side. the question is, say the senate does pass some kind of proposal here, similar to the collins/manchin bill.

is there any sign that the house particularly with the conservative wing in the house republican party would sign on to the senate bill? >> well no and what we're looking at now again what we were talking about before the shutdown even started is house democrats joining with moderate house republicans. we do know that leader pelosi, nancy pelosi who is the leader of house democrats and president obama spoke yesterday, so it would seem to suggest that they are trying to craft some kind of agreement between the democrats and the moderate republican. the medical device tax obviously as we have been talking about is not popular to repeal at least for the white house, but democrats in the senate don't support it necessarily, so that's going to be the sticking point that nancy pelosi is going to have to work through for democrats. >> it's interesting with the senate resuming talks this afternoon how many more developments, how many more back room conversations and negotiations and phone calls. erin mcpike thanks so much. we'll be watching this clearly. developments seem to be

happening by the hour, the minute. >> so much still needs to happen for this to get through. >> in four days, the other thing that's remarkable. still to come for us, stuck 20 feet above the railroad tracks. >> you could say this is a bad day, a woman dangling from a bridge over a south florida river. we're going to show you her dramatic rescue coming up. s

all right i want to tell you about a a harrowing rescue that happened over the weekend. >> harrowing is one way to put it. >> all caught on camera. >> all went down on a railroad bridge in ft. lauderdale, florida. that is a woman holding on for dear life. the bridge started going up while she was on it. >> there are so many questions, john. >> so many questions. >> one of them, why was she on it in the first place? john zarrella joins us now. we hope to explain. john, tell us what you know about this odd situation. >> michaela, john, i wish i

could tell you why she was on it. we heard just about everything, some people saying she went out on the bridge to take pictures, others saying it was a shortcut for her to get home. behind me you see the new river in ft. lauderdale and that there is the railroad bridge she was stuck on. now imagine you're up there and if you fall you're either going to hit the tracks or you're going to end up in the water, neither one a very good option, but that was the predicament a local woman found herself in over the weekend. look at this. your eyes are not playing tricks on you. that's a 55-year-old south florida woman dangling more than 20 feet up from a raised rail road bridge. >> i would have been flipping out, like oh my goodness. oh my goodness. >> reporter: she clung on seemingly frozen to the crossing, her legs locked, hands pressed tight to the structure. for about 20 minutes she just hung there. below a crowd of onlookers snapped photos, some ended up posting on twitter.

after a flurry of calls to 911, the ft. lauderdale fire department hoisted a 20-foot ladder and brought her down to a cheering crowd. the ordeal over, she was safe and apparently unharmed. sometimes you just get lucky. it's unclear what she was doing on the bridge in the first place, it's marked with a "no trespassing" sign and a warning siren when it's about to go up and there is another nearby bridge for pedestrians to cross. the woman wearing pink had reportedly just finished a cancer walk saturday morning called "making strides against breast cancer" when the bridge went up with her on it. the bridge over ft. lauderdale's new river is remotely controlled. once she walked out on it and it started up there was no way stop it and no way for her to get off. city officials are not too happy with what went down over the weekend. they issued a statement yesterday saying "we're thankful that the individual involved in this life-threatening incident

survived but the decision to trespass on private property was an unfortunate poor choice that endangered the trespasser's life and the lives of the first responder." just a little bit ago, the bridge was down when a train went across it, and we timed it after the train passed, it was about a minute, a minute and ten seconds before the bridge went back up, and that is the position the up position that it remains in unless a train is coming. john, michaela? >> we understand that she had just finished a walk or run for breast cancer awareness month so she likely was pretty fatigued yet she was able to keep her strength to hold herself in that position in a pretarious position for some time until rescuers were able to get there. >> reporter: fortunately it was only about 20 minutes before the rescuers were able to get her down. >> only. >> reporter: only. and fortunately the bridge was not perfectly straight up and down, that little bit of a tilt

could very well have saved her life. >> obviously we wish her the best, but there were a lot of people in florida joking about the fact the one thing she held on to the whole time was her purse. i said that during the piece and you said -- >> this is serious business. >> you have to hold onto something it's going to be your purse. >> it will be interesting to see if they have to make any changes to the guardrails. you often see that after an incident you might see more safety measures. you the put in place. >> reporter: absolutely. the florida east coast railroad said had there been notified there was going to be this walk that was in this area that they would have had their own security people out here over the weekend to make sure nobody went on that bridge and you know, right now the woman does face the possibility of a trespassing charge because the sign, it's well marked. she's not supposed to have been out there. >> let's hope that's a once in a lifetime for the lady and the

bridge. john zarrella reporting, real interesting conundrum there. thank you. still to come for us, it was supposed to be just a fun party. that's not exactly what it turned into. >> what police encountered when they walked in on hundreds of college-aged partiers, not a pretty sight at all, coming up next. you really love, what would you do?" ♪ [ woman ] i'd be a writer.

it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm john berman. >> i'm michaela pereira in for carol costello. it's true takes two of us to replace carol, thanks for joining us. >> with washington no closer to making a deal, wall street could be in for some choppy trading sessions. >> alison kosik by virtue of the fact it will be choppy there, choppy for you as well, the debt limit deadline days away and the partial shutdown is nearing its third week. i can imagine there's general frustration

>> the market's been open two minutes, down 100 points. and the traders that i've talked to are pessimistic. it may take wall street putting the pressure on washington sending a clear message in the form of a sell-off to get the attention of lawmakers to do something, just like when lawmakers were talking to the end of last week the dow wracked up 460 points, wall street's way of saying keep talking but obvious obviously that feeling didn't stay for the weekend. traders can unwind that and the gains can quickly turn to losses as we see in the first three minutes of the day. the interest rate on the one-month treasury bill is sharply higher as investors

worry if the government will pay the treasury note if the debt ceiling deal isn't done. big banks use the t bills to park short term cash if they want to stay more liquid and a disruption in the market could have huge repercussions for the entire credit market leading to a big spike on the interest rate we pay on credit cards and mortgages and car loan stos theso there is a real world affect. >> not to mention the overseas markets. let's talk about the games they're playing on capitol hill because the games very much go on like trying to follow a bouncing ball there right now. on the one hand optimism goes up and inevitably crashes down to nothing. right now there seems to be two hangups, a discussion about the medical device tax and also the sequester, the spending cuts that took effect some six months ago, whether they will stay in place or do something to reduce some of the impact there. joining me to talk about all of this and much, much more is john

avalon of "the daily beast" and cnn contributor. where do you see things standing? >> there's little rational reason to think that washington is going to pull this out in the near term but the good news is there are constructive conversations, the manchin-collins bipartisan bill. the only way this gets done if centrist republicans and democrats work together and shame the house into action. >> the manchin-le couldiness bill was being discussed early saturday morning and senate leader harry reid and the white house, too, seemed to say thanks but no thanks. >> it got the heisman, here's why. president feels this is essentially an extortion measure and he wants a clean funding of the government, if you take away the medical device tax even though it's popular with democrats and republicans in the senate you help gut the funding for obama care and that is an assault. is there going to be time to put together anything resembling a larger deal? the big money boys are putting pressure on the republican party, even the folks who funded the tea party did not want this

outcome. the question whether the president and democrats will look for a bigger win than a political win. they know they have republicans on the ropes so there's an impulse to try to overreach but there's an obligation to do something bigger for the country is. >> john mccain was saying over the weekend, what goes around comes around. he gave a warning to democrats saying be careful pushing for too much. two three years down the line you might be seeing the effects. >> there's such a lack of trust democrats see an opening to push their agenda. there's the broader obligation to keep the government open. fact that we're here right now 72 hours out is stunning. this is a choice between self-government and self-sabotage and washington still can't get together. the president's got to lead, the two senate leaders have to lead and put together a bigger plan to restore sanity >> most important person in washington? >> two leaders and joe biden waiting as a potential closer and boehner has to open the vote

out. >> john avalon, great having you here. >> thank you. still to come "fifty grades of grey" is hot, steamy. one problem it's missing a leading man. are you available? >> charlie hunnam bowed out of the film. his camp says one thing, rumors say something else. >> we need the truth, john berman. >> the truth is out there. stay with us. >> we need truth in "50 shades." just by talking to a helmet. it grabbed the patient's record before we even picked him up. it found out the doctor we needed was at st. anne's. wiggle your toes.

[ crowd chanting ] >> frustrations going from a simmer to a boil outside the white house has conservative protesters pile up barricades that surrounded that world war ii and lincoln memorials. [ crowd chanting ] >> they are changting and said they're fed up with the partial government shutdown and its closure of national land marks. but the greatest tension in washington right now may be building towards thursday's deadline and the potential default on its debt. will the u.s. still be able to pay its bills on thursday? cnn's jim acosta is at the white house. we hear from senator joe manchin

this morning. he says they're 70% to 80% close to getting a deal done. do you think that's true? and if not, are the holdups? >> it seems very optimistic. there's time left. three days in washington is a lifetime when it comes to dealing with these sorts of physical crisis seize. you mentioned joe manchin, he and susan collins, republican senator from maine, they have a bipartisan deal that is supported by a number of senators that would basically satisfied a lot of the problems here in washington. it would raise the debt ceiling. there are a couple of sticking points in that agreement that don't really go over that well with the white house. i have just spoken with a republican source that is close to the negotiations up on capitol hill. and what i'm hearing at this point as to where this maybe headed is that there seems to be a tug of war going on between

senate majority leader harry reid and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell over the debt ceiling. the democrats want a shorter continuing resolution because they want to renegotiate those sequester cuts. a shorter continue indication to re-open the government would basically bring the debate to the sequester cuts. that's what the democrats want. they want the longer debt ceiling increase because it gives more security, they teal, to the white house and that the democrats won't be in the crisis mode in the short-term. the republicans want the opposite. they want a longer run to keep it mainly in place and a shorter debt ceiling because this would have the leverage in the nearer term. it's very complicated and very different to unpack. but basically it's a tug of war right now going ton between the

two leaders of the senate, over the length and duration of both of those big items right now. >> you equal it a tug of war between harry reid and mitch mcconnell complicated by the fact that they have a very sort of dynamic rip. and there have been moments when it seems like they don't like each other very much. >> reporter: that's true. it almost feels like a sequel of "grumbly old men" at times. and it was recently that they were going back and forth over the nuclear option. remember when harry reid was talking about that to get some of president obama's cabinet members through the senate when they were being blocked by a variety of republicans. there were times when both of them would go to the senate floor and try to get the last word and trying to top one another. there's another dynamic play in all of this. michigan mcconnell is running for re-election next year. he is being pry married on the

right by matt beven in kentucky. and that has been also the state of play in that it kept michigan mcconnell off on the sidelines sort of. and made it difficult for them to get involved in this. now he's had to get involved in this because a lot of republicans know that he is somebody what's been there before and be able to craft these deals. the dynamic is not a great one. but perhaps they can get over it and get us to a deal. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> so the stalemate there in washington is sending shudders through the stock market. alison kosik is here. and it's interesting last week we sort of ended on a hopeful note. monday comes and pes michl comes in again. >> the dow has corecovered now about 70 points. i talked with one trader that said, you know what?

wall street is a voting booth. what you're seeing played out is traders expressing disappointment as to what's going on in washington, d.c. you always see a little volatility in the market. a lot of investors are on the sidelines and not in the game trading. they're waiting on washington to come up with a solution to the debt ceiling. but that is going to change this trader tells me. as we get closer to the deadline on wednesday, you may see stocks dip lower than they are right now. the global view of the u.s. debt standoff, that was center stage this past weekend at the conference in washington. among the leaders there, j.p. morgan, deutsche bank, and christine lagarde, that's the monetary funds managing director. she sat down with cnn's richard quest to express the feels of the group. >> they're all concerned because the u.s. is the biggest economy

in the world and because it trades with all of them and it has massive financial consequences for them as well. so it's an international concern that was expressed. >> so what's going to move the market today? you're going to see the market's moved only on headlines. >> overnight, a bottle of dry ice ex-slowed at l.a.x. temporarily shutting down an international terminal and delaying several flights. the explosion happened in an kbhee bathroom. no one has injured. the fbi is investigating. a columbus day weekend celebration near miami nearly ended in tragedy. take a look at these incredible picture. a 45-foot boat cap sizing and dumping 30 people into biscayne bay. the coast guard responded rescuing everyone. no reports serious injuries. the cause of this is still under

investigation. a bizarre rescue over the weekend caught on camera. that's a woman holding on for dear life after a railroad bridge in ft. lauderdale starts going up. the question remains, what was she doing on this bridge in the first place? john zarrella joined us now. >> well the question still remains, john. we don't know. there was a lot of speculation that perhaps she was out on the bridge taking pictures. perhaps she was looking for a shortcut to get home. but nobody is saying for sure what she was doing on the bridge. this is the new river in ft. lauderdale. and this is the railroad bridge in question. now, this is what happened on saturday. the bridge was down. a train had just gone over it. when this woman decides for some reason she was going to walk out onto the bridge. not a good idea. look at this. your eyes are not playing tricks on you. that's a 55-year-old south

florida woman dangling more than 20 feet up from a raised railroad bridge. >> i would have been flipping out. like oh, my goodness. >> reporter: she clunk on seemingly frozen to the crossing. legs locked and handed pressed tight to the structure. she hung there about 20 minutes. below people snapped photos. after a flurry of calls to 911, the ft. lauderdale fire department hoisted a 24-foot ladder and brought her down to the cheering crowd. the ordeal over, she was safe and apparently unharmed. sometimes you just get lucky. it's 'unclear what she was doing on the bridge in the first place. it's marked with a no press s trespassing sign and there's a warning siren when it's about to go up. and there is another nearby bridge for pedestrians to cross. she had just finished a breast cancer walk when the bridge went

up with her on it. the bridge is remotely controlled. once she walked out on it and it started up, there was no way to stop it and no way for her to get off. now, we've been out here about four hours this morning, john, michaela, and the bridge has actually gone up and down three times. three trains have come across it. so it's a pretty common event. it's not as if this was something that was a rare event for the freight trains to come back and forth. it takes about a minute, a minute 15 seconds after the train passes before the bridge goes back to its upright position which is the position its in unless a train is coming. john, michaela. >> we certainly hope she is doing okay. >> still to come, a little less conversation and a little more action, please. >> it was elvis who said that at first. but now the question is, could a

compromise actually happen in washington? senator joe manchin claims they're almost there. we're going to put the question to max island lynn, a republican of arizona coming up next. cg/úññ

so decide the protest and all the anchor aimed right at congress and the president, this partial government shutdown is about to enter its third week. can you believe it? and really, will it end any time soon? all we know right now, is both sides say they're talking. >> i've had a productive conversation with republican leader this afternoon. our discussions were substantive. >> i will continue to talk to my friends across the aisle. all of us are having these conversations. >> there are a lot of constructive discussions going on behind the scenes. >> so forget the talking. americans really would like to see action in the next three days, more than just the rhetoric. this deing on the debt could come as soon as thursday. i'm joined now by republican representative matt salmon. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> i want to get a sense of where things stand this morning.

we had joe manchin earlier on cnn and there's talk of a compromise that he's been discussing with susan collins. the details are funding the government for six months, extending the debt limit until the end of january and delaying the medical device tax for two years. if that were to somehow pass the senate or something close to it, is that something you could support? >> first of all i thought that my information was that the president and harry reid sum mayorly rejected that idea over the weekend. and it leaves me a little bit nonoptimistic as far as going toward. if they can't even accept a bipartisanship proposal from susan collins and joe manchin, it seems like they're not interested in anything. >> manchin has toe us he is still talking with a group of senators. is that something that you canu you and your house republican colleagues could support?

>> for me personally, there's three things i want to see accomplished. number one, an end to the shutdown. number two, some mitigation of the harmful effects of obama care to hard working americans out there. and third, i want to make sure that we can cut spending and start living within our means an not pile up another trillion dollars this year to the deficit. >> so you still are talking about in some way defunding, delaying or derailing at least parts of obama care. it sounds to me that you're saying even if a compromise was passed in the senate, it would not have the elements that you are looking for? >> what i'm saying again, i'll be very, very clear, is that most americans out there have not gotten any relief from obama care. and it was clear last week that it was not ready for prime time. i believe wolf blitzer said that the president should have taken the republicans' deal. it's hurting a lot of americans.

and i want to do everything that i can, to make sure that average people, regular people, not just big nss who have connections here in washington, d.c., that average americans get the same kind of benefit. also, i want to see us cut our spending. the democrats keep talking about spending as far as the eye can see. that is not the way that the americans have to do business and that's not the way washington should do business. we've got to get our physical house in order right now. because there will be a day when americans are going to have to pay the piper. and it's not going to be pleasant for our children and grandchildren. this, to me, is an epic battle over washington versus america. and i hope america wins. >> it's almost three weeks now. it started largely because house republicans kept on passing the measured that had some kind of direct impact on obama care and the senate would not take that up. you're still talking about it,

sounds like insisting on those measures. they're still a requirement for you to pass anything? >> you mentioned that that was republicans. the last proposal that we submitted to the president, which he rejected was that we delayed the individual mandate, allow it to be voluntary, allow it to keep going but voluntary for americans like it is for big business and then get rid of the special dispen sags created for members of congress. that measure had a bunch of democrats on our vote. i think it's reasonable. i think that ultimately the american people are speaking very loudly about trying to get some relief and i think we ought to give it to them. >> last question. better than fifty-fifty chance that we'll get out of this by thursday? or do you think we're heading to the debt ceiling default? >> up until this weekend when our leaders, john boehner walked in with the president and put a deal on the table that was

basically just to create a conference committee, just to talk and negotiate and then give a six-week debt ceiling, the president was very, very warm to that. he was very supportive of that idea. and then he afterward, he talked to harry reid and then he changed his position. if the president relegates his power and authority to harry reid and continues to do that, we're never going to get a solution. the president has to realize that he has to come to the table and work with members of all parties to mitigate this crisis. and i believe that we can get it done if the president is willing to do that. >> let's hope all sides are at the table this week. we are just a few days away from this default. congressman matt salmon of arizona, thanks for being with us. >> still to come, he enjoys celebrity status in the media. but cory booker may not be quite as popular with the voters at large. we'll be right back. it's a growing trend in business: do more with less with less energy.

hp is helping ups do just that. soon, the world's most intelligent servers, designed by hp, will give ups over twice the performance, using forty percent less energy. multiply that across over a thousand locations, and they'll provide the same benefit to the environment as over 60,000 trees. that's a trend we can all get behind.

another political power house. >> and you know, he is pulling out all the stops. gaining in name recognition and in the polls. and steve lonegan is fighting fire with fire. he recruited a republican power house to help him beat booker. >> it's time we held the line. >> what does a candidate do if you're down in the polls days from the election and your opponent is a political celebrity? answer, bring why your own celebrity. >> can the rest of the america count on you to send steve lonegan to the united states senate? >> reporter: that's exactly what new jersey republican senate candidate steve lonegan did. he's facing an uphill battle against a manuel known on the national stage. newark's mayor, cory booker. they paint the race as a

national referendum under the president's policies, including obama care. >> when we go to washington october 17th, it's going to be barack obama obama, nancy pelosi and harry reid that are going to fold. >> cory booker, radical, liberal ex-extreme. >> thanks to the guess sift ad campaign, his lead dipped in august to 12 points. not surprising to some voters here. >> and i believe that there are a lot of people in this case that have conservative values but just don't know it. >> i'm a republican, but i think lonegan is a little too far to the right. >> he's very much a movement conservative. i think that makes his uphill battle that much steeper. >> lonegan is anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage. his and his campaigns views on mayor booker seem to be getting all the attention.

lonegan fired one of his top advisors friday after he gave a profanity laced interview on twitter. it was saying, i don't know, it was like what a gay guy would say to a stripper. >> i have hundreds of activists and i can't be responsible for what they all say. i will take responsibility, so i terminated the gentleman for his inappropriate comment. >> he's been criticized for his own comments about booker saying whether he was gay and saying, so what does it matter if i am. >> he was kind of weird. >> and then it was a comment lonegan made during last week's debate. about where taxpayers money from the suburbs and rural areas go. >> it all gets pu s poured boo big black hole of newark. newark's budget is a big black hole and it sucks in millions and billions of taxpayer dollars

and we never see it again. >> it was encouraged by a new poll out today that shows mayor booker's lead is now at ten points thanks in part to independent voters who seem to be swaying to lonegan. it's a special election and likely to be decided by the party faithful. and democrats are expected to turn out with stronger numbers. >> i'm curious how bookers 'team is reacting to the narrowing gap. >> as you know, i spent time with mayor booker on saturday. i asked him about a number of questions about lonegan. and what they attribute the narrowing in the polls is the negative campaigning on lonegan's part. but they're expecting democrats to turn out in high numbers. >> ten points is a pretty sizable lead two days before the election. >> no question. >> still to come for us, two senators work to bridge the divide in washington. presenting a deal to their

ceiling come due? does that give time for the budget conference and committees to sit down and work through this? those are the details that have to be worked out. >> that was senator joe manchin of west virginia, a democratic. and just a few moments ago, senator susan collins, a republican from maine, she came out and spoke to cameras and she gave an update on the meeting going on all morning. what did senator collins have to say about any signs of progress? >> she said that they are making progress. they think talks have been very constructive. she said, we're not going to release any details until we have an agreement. i hopewell have an agreement. we're making progress toward an agreement, but we're not there yet. senator from tennessee said of the same thing. he said there would be a deal today. they're optimistic and hopeful. but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. there are sticking points.

wept to go through what we've seen of the deal so far. again, senator collins said they're not going to release any more details until the end of the day until they've reached something. but we're going to show you some things they're talking about. one is to ex-citizen the debt limit through the end of jab. also, funding the government for six months. now, the level at which they would fun the government is $986 billion. that is $70 billion less than democrats nationally wanted. so another piece of a sticking point there. also to repeal the medical device tax. now, again, the white house is adamantly opposed to that. but democrats in the senate are open to repealing the medical devices tax. now that might be coming that comes up in an agreement in december as opposed to what's on the floor now. there's also income verification, which is something that senator manchin was talking about this morning as a potential piece of an agreement. and also some flexibility on spending cuts.

that's another sticking point for democrats right now. but there is a plan in place. and they do seem to be negotiating. so maybe well have news on this later today. >> let's hope. but i did speak to matt salmon, republican of arizona, just a little while ago. he seemed to indicate that he would be unlikely to support this kind of thing unless it took more of a bite out of obama care. then you have president obama and harry reid on the other side who sort of pooh-pooh'd a deal. and any sense in which side this bipartisan agreement is more nervous about here? >> i think we're more looking at house democrats join with more moderate republicans in the house to pass something that a moderate group in both houses can get behind. this is one of the things that senator bob corker said as he just left this meeting, he said it might not attract, quote,

fringe from either side of the aisle, but we hope to get something on the senate floor that we can pass. we're looking for moderates here. >> is there a middle? >> they need to find it. >> we're going to have a panel of political experts to unpack all of that. they're standing by. we're going to talk about the manchin-collins proposal right after the break. anything we purchase for the paper cottage goes on our ink card. so you can manage your business expenses and access them online instantly with the game changing app from ink. we didn't get into business to spend time managing receipts, that's why we have ink. we like being in business because we like being creative, we like interacting with people. so you have time to focus on the things you love. ink from chase. so you can.

well, we have been talking about this new bipartisan plan and if it has legs. just moments ago senator such collins came out of a meeting and said they are making progress but not there yet. let's talk about that. joining us are jason johnson and patricia murphy. good morning to the both of you. >> good morning. >> jason, let's start with you. the manchin-collins proposal.

this includes a delay on the tax of the medical devices. but at this late stage the obama administration likely has to think about making concessions to end the stalemate? no. >> they don't have to think about making concessions there's still the 51 votes option in the senate. but they have to take something back to the extreme base in the house. and that's fairly easy. you've got democrats and republicans who don't like it and i think in the end they're going to have to cave. i don't think this is going to be the final deal, but the senate will likely pass it at the last minute, force the house to pass it through and maybe the shutdown and debt ceiling will be fixed by thursday. >> the president has dug his heels in on a lot of things. what are your thoughts. >> i'm not as optimistic with jason as this one. with the medical device tax, actually a majority of the democrats and republicans are

willing to get rid of that. but they consider that pocket change. that is not remotely near the chances that they want to see in this. and you have to wonder who is going to ride to the rescue. there are at a i believe relations between all you have the people negotiating these deals with each other. harry reid and mitch mcconnell don't get along. john boehner don't trust that they can even get a bill troou his caucus. we've seen with immigration, that makes not one bit of difference among house republicans what the senate is doing these days. so i really don't see a path guard given who is in the room making these decisions and the caucuses that have to be able to pass these builds through them. >> let's talk about who is in the room. interesting, john mccain on some of the sunday morning talk shows talking about his frustration that the white house is not playing a larger role in the ongoing negotiations. and in fact says he wants biden

out of witness protection program. jason, do you think that biden's relationship with some of those key members could play a role in ending the stalemate? >> no. biden would be terrible in. a lot of democrats are concern pd that both obama and biden are too quick to capitulate. and the president shouldn't be in too many of these negotiations up front. there's too much political capital in the house and senate. when he's in the room, things get volatile. and joe biden, he's got too many friends. i think the democrats are going to be demonstrating that this is not the proper way to negotiate policy. which is important not just for this administration but for every one following it. >> do you think it's a good idea to keep him out of the frey. >> i think he's being kept out the fray because democrats feel like he's giving away way too much, too much in tax cuts and not getting enough in increases. i i this it's a mistake to keep

him out of it if they want a deal. joe biden negotiates. him not being in the room is another sign to me of the fact that this is really not going anywhere quickly. and you have to remember, even in all sides come to the agreement, you have to write the legislation, you have to let cbo score the legislation and schedule the voted. this is not a process that happens overnight. and it is really up to john boehner what he is willing to do. a lot of senate democrats don't want to put bain ir-- and a lot of moving parts and none of them seem to be moving forward. >> and even though there are a lot of moving parts, people are ainge chus scious for them to make a deal happen and soon. thank you for joining us this morning. >> and to move those parts as fast as possible. still to come. people keep calling them glitches. but the problem for the obama

care website, they do not seem to be going away. what experts say could be snagging the system. >> is there has stronger word for "glitch"? >> "glitch." say it loudly. i didn't want nicotine to give up nicotine.
