the united nations security council, of course, expected to meet possibly this weekend. that's ahead of the u.n. general assembly. watch this space on iran. that's the big talker today. >> it's going to be a huge week next week. >> things are changing. >> all right. that does it for us "around the world." thanks forqqr] watching. have a great weekend. have a great weekend. wolf blitzer takes it from here. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com right now, house republicans are celebrating passage of a bill that defunds obama care but it doesn't stand much of a chance in the u.s. senate. could set the stage for government shutdown. also right now, president obama visiting an auto parts plant in missouri. speaks later this hour, is expected to warn republicans once again about the budget battle and the debt ceiling. we'll have live coverage for you this hour. also, right now, chicago police are searching for suspects in a shooting at a park. 13 people were wounded. including a 3-year-old boy. authorities say the weapon was

an assault-style rifle with a high capacity magazine. we want to welcome viewers. i'm wolf blitzer in washington. the first domino has fallen in the fight over the possible shutdown of the federal government. here is the calendar. we're only ten days from the deadline. it's the end of the fiscal year and could be the last day of work. and last paycheck for millions of federal employees including some members of the military. a short time ago, the house approved a spending bill to kick the can down the road a few months. it would fully fund the government hill mid-december but would eliminate funding for the affordable care act known as obama care. with as paj of the partisan bill, house republicans took a victory lap while sending a direct message to the senate. >> today, we urge the senate to take action. we urge our colleagues in the senate, our allies on the

outside and the american people to push the senate to have this important debate on the floor of the senate. because if we are going to take action on behalf of the american people, we need the senate to have this debate on the floor of the senate. >> why today when we acted it wasn't just a group of republicans but it was a bipartisan vote. let me state that again because i want to make sure you write it correctly. it was a bipartisan vote. because we're americans first. >> that's why we are doing our job and now it is up to senate democrats to show some responsibility and follow the house's lead. now -- you know, many senate republicans have promised to leave no stone h6 this billkand all of us here support that effort. >> you got businesses all over the country who are not hiring

because of the impact of this law. you've got other businesses that are reducing the hours for their employees because of this law. and so, our message to the united states senate is real simple. the american people don't want the government shut down and the house has listened to the american people. now it's time for the united states senate to listen to them, as well. >> today's vote is just the beginning of this fight which needs to end by the end of the month or else the government will shutdown. aaron mcpike joins us from capitol hill right now. we just heard the majority whip kevin mccarthy emphasize this

was in his words, a bipartisan vote. technically, he may be correct but not really all that bipartisan. >> that's right, wolf. that's because just two democrats sided with republicans to get those 230 votes. if you want to call it a bipartisan vote, that's true. there was also one republican who sided with the democrats who voted against it. i will tell you just next week it will be moving into the senate. what eric cantor said today at this rally of house republicans after the vote was essentially calling out democrats. they want to get democrats on the record about the health care bill. they specifically mentioned mary landrieu of louisiana, kay hagan of north carolina, mark begich of alaska, and mark pryor of arkansas and those are democrats who are essentially in red states, they're up for re-election next year and they want to get those democrats on the record about health care. this was very much a political statement today, wolf. >> so it goes to the senate now

the. and assuming the senate does not pass the same legislation that the house has just passed and we all assume that will be the case, what's boehner going to do at the end of next week into the weekend? >> well, it's going to go back to the house and eric cantor just announced that the house also likely be in session next weekend. of course, house speaker john boehner also said much the same thing as he was leaving his press conference yesterday. he was asked, are we going to be working next saturday and next sunday and he said yes, and sunday and so i assume, wolf, that means that@+áu and i will now. as far as whether the house will is pass a clean cr, this continuing resolution with funding restored for obama care, it seems that the democrats are likely to pass a sort of clean bill. nancy pelosi did say just yesterday that the mood is not favorable for the current level of funding that the bill that was just passed had. but it seems that democrats will

likely pass a version sometime next weekend. >> we'll see what happens next weekend. that's going to be critical just days before the government runs out of money. thanks very much, erin mcpike. with today's vote, house republicans clearly have drawn a line in the sand. let's speak with one of the top leader inside the republican caucus in the house. kathy mcmorris rogers is the chair of the house republican conference. the number four in the republican hierarchy. thanks very much for coming in. >> good to be with you. >> let's talk about next weekend. let's say the senate passes a continuing resolution but does not defund obama care. what are you going to do? will you allow the government to shut down or will you accept a stopgap measure that at least allows the government to continue operating after october 1st? >> house republicans do not want to shut down the government. but the american people don't want the government shut down. they also don't want obama care.

the important news today is it that the house has acted. that the house took action to keep the government open. and to defund obama care. what we need is for the senate to have this debate. and so we're not going to presume what the senate will do. we'll let the senate over the next few days have that debate. >> but let's assume though that harry reid and the democrats who have the majority in the senate reject what the house has done. what you do then? >> i don't know think we can presume what the senate will or will not do. it's most important to note that the house has done its job. just because the senate hasn't been doing its job doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing our job. and you know, we just spent several weeks home in our districts. members all across this country heard stories from individuals, from families how the president's law is making it worst. is making it harder on them to afford premiums. people are panicked how they're going to afford premiums.

i talked with seniors seeing it -- medicare increases. they want ca find a doctor. i represent counties where you might have an insurance card but then the local hospital or doctor won't take that insurance card. the health care system, lots of questions. so it is clear that the american people would like to see this law defunded, delayed, they see it as being unworkable. and the senate needs to have that debate. >> you know, he we took a closer look at the polls because you're right when you say the majority of americans don't like obama care, but when you take a closer look at the numbers, congressman, look at this, do you support obama care, 43% say they favor it, but on the opposition, it's 51% according to the cnn poll we did in may but 35% say they oppose it because it's too liberal, like you from the republican side. 16% say they oppose it is from the left because it's not liberal enough. they might want universal health care. they might want greater

socialized medicine. some would argue. so it's not just they oppose it from the right. some people oppose it from the left. they want to go further and do more government involvement in the health care operation as you can see from those polls. you want to react to that? >> bottom line, people see it as unworkable. we've even seen the president clearly agreeing that portions of this law are unworkable. when he says he's going to delay the employer mandate. we've taken many votes to repeal and defund obama care. seven pieces of legislation have actually gotten through the senate onto the president's desk. a recognition bipartisan that portions of this law arelj[ not seeing that. there's growing concerns. just yesterday, home depot -uh to be on their health insurance plan no longer will be. we have other major companies

making similar announcements. people that thought they were going to have health insurance and the president said he said if you like your health insurance, you can keep it. all these promises although they sound good are not being -- he can't follow through on it. and people are growing in their concerns. they see it as unworkable. i believe when you look at the polls, when you ask the american people, they would like to see this law delayed, defunded. and they applaud the action that we're taking in the house. >> those 20,000 people at home depot and others will be eligible under the new system to get health insurance through the federal government if you will. but one final question, this is the 41st vote in the house of representatives to defund obama care. 41 times you passed this legislation. you have the majority in the house. it has never gone anywhere in the senate. what are you, just hoping and praying it does this time? is that your hope?

>> actually, several of those votes, seven of those votes have actually gotten through the senate and onto the president's desk. the repeal of the class act, the repeal of the 10999 provision. >> but not the repeal of the entire piece of law which was passed by the congress, signed into law by the president of the united states, and approved as constitutional by the united states supreme court. >> right. you said that we had voted 41 times though and that includes that 41 includes the seven votes that we're taking to repeal portions of the law. we've taken six votes to repeal the entire law. then we've taken other votes that we believe that the senate will -- should consider like the delay of the employer mandate, the delay of the individual mandate that if it's okay for -- if it's not ready for employers, then it's not ready for individuals. like the vote that we took to say that the irs could not move forward in hiring the 17,000

employees that they're going to need to implement this law and create the data hub. those are still under consideration in the senate. >> the all right. well, we'll see what happens. you're going to have your hands full towards the end of the week when the senate sends something back to you. i assume they're not going to defund obama care but let's see what happens. maybe the 42nd time will be the charm from your perspective is, kathy mcmorris rogers, thanks for coming in. >> good to be with you. >> at the bottom of the hour, we'll get a very different perspective from the democratic side of the aisle. the dnc chair, debbie wasserman-schultz from florida will join us live. we'll ask her what's going on, as well. also coming up, gloria borger is going to help us break down the political fight right now as the bill heads to the senate. we head to a possible government shutdown. wouldn't be the first time. twice happened in the '90s, but there are new members of congress, some of whom are ignoring some of the lessons learned from the last time it

happened. we're taking a closer look. ut tl the allergy muddlers. you know who you are. you can part a crowd, without saying a word... if you have yet to master the quiet sneeze... you stash tissues like a squirrel stashes nuts... well muddlers, muddle no more. try zyrtec®. it gives you powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin® because zyrtec® starts working at hour one on the first day you take it. claritin® doesn't start working until hour three. zyrtec®. love the air. claritin® doesn't start working until hour three. i had pain in my abdomen... it just wouldn't go away.thing. i was spotting, but i had already gone through menopause. these symptoms may be nothing... but they could be early warning signs of a gynecologic cancer, such as cervical, ovarian, or uterine cancer. feeling bloated for no reason. that's what i remember. seeing my doctor probably saved my life. warning signs are not the same for everyone. if you think something's wrong... see your doctor. ask about gynecologic cancer. and get the inside knowledge.

we expect lim to vote on the house vote. the house vote continuing spending for the federal government but at the same time defunding obama care. passed the house of representatives, 230-189. now goes to the senate where its fate will be presumably very, very different. let's get back to the countdown to a possible government shutdown even as we wait for the president. we'll have live coverage of his remarks. there are ten days left until the deadline. today the house passed a partisan bill defunding obama care. only two democrats sided with the republicans. now it heads to the senate, and it probably will face near certain death. cnn's chief political analyst gloria borger joins us right now. in the end, the republicans came together virtually unanimously. i think one republican voted with the democrats on the house floor. this was an important vote for a lot of these republicans. >> a lot of these republicans are nervous. they went home over the summer. they got pounded in districts by grassroots movement on ans and at town halls saying you've got

to the defund obama care. they decided and again they forced speaker boehner into this position. they said to him look, we have had had lots of votes to defund obama care but they haven't attached it to kind of a must pass piece of lenlation. this was easy for them though because they know that in the senate, it's going to have a very different face. this united the republicans to a great degree. they don't have to worry about getting primaried on the right by people who are campaigning on getting rid of obama care. they take this vote, send it to the senate, they push over the senate and say it's up to you guys knowing full well that the senate can't do what the house did. >> you know, a lot of these republicans though, they think they have a winning issue but those of us who lived through '95 and '96 remember two government shutdowns, newt gingrich now co-host of crossfire" here on cnn, he was a

speaker. the republicans suffered as a result of those two government shutdowns. it helped get clinton re-elected in '96. >> i think newt might argue the opposite. if you shut down the government this time, i would argue it would be worse because you haven't passed any spending bills in the congress. in 1995, they passed six or seven of the spending bills, keeping the government running. now, nothing has been passed. so if you actually shut the government down now, there would be more services that would be affected. and the public would feel it sooner than they even did in 1995. i agree with you. i think the ire of the public would be, i can't believe you guys are doing this again. >> newt would take issuing >> he would say their house seat loss wasn't as large as it could have been. >> they retained the majority but they lost seats and there was a rebellion against gingrich and he was no longer the

speaker. >> they lost 7 out of 11 governor's races that year. and 53 state legislatures went to the other party. there was sort of a ripple effect. >> and karl rove in yesterday's "wall street journal" outlined all those points saying this is crazy for the republicans now to be trying to link obama care with the government shutdown because he remembers vividly what happened in '95 and '96. >> it was 53 state legislative seats. it did have a ripple effect. and carl robe's point is, if you want to be a presidential party, you have to appeal to independent voters. this vote today appeals to conservatives. but not to independents. they can continue perhaps to have a majority in the house. he's saying if you want to move beyond that to the white house, think differently. >> my suspicion is they'll work out last minute -- they might not but probably will. but the debt ceiling battle in mid-october is going to be probably more brutal. >> i think so too. >> gloria, thanks very much.

president of the united states, he's in liberty, missouri, at an auto parts plant. he's getting ready 0 speak. we expect he will be speaking out on the house vote. the house passed legislation just a little while ago, 230-189 that would continue funding the federal government but would defund obama care. the legislation goes to the senate where it's unlikely to pass. the president will be speaking out. we'll have live coverage. stand by momentarily for that. meanwhile, stocks started out the day climbing a bit. but it didn't take very long before all ta changed. the dow lost more than 50 points this morning. let's take a look right now at where things stand on the big board. down almost 100 points. look at that right now. alison kosik is joining us from

the new york stock exchange. what's driving these losses, alison? >> you know what's driving the losses? that word is back on wall street. uncertainty when the fed is going to go ahead and taper back the stimulus we thought it would taper back earlier this week and uncertainty whether or not the government is going to shut down october 1st and default on debt. also you have to look at how stocks have been performing. it's been a big week and big month. the dow and s&p 500 shot to record highs this week. you look at how high. these are big gains for the month. the major averages are up 5% just for the month. we're only halfway through with september. so you're seeing the market basically taking a break today. the belief from some is that stocks at this point are overbought because you look at the health of the u.s. economy. many are saying it just doesn't warrant these record highs that we're seeing in the stock market. wolf? >> any reaction, how is wall street reacting to the vote in the house of representatives, for example, to continue funding the government but defunding obama care? >> wall street, the way wall

street looks at this, it knows that washington still has a ways to go. the bill to take away funding for obama care, as you said, it is paed the house. it now goes onto the senate. the way wall street sees it, we'll wait to see how things shake out. there are big implications for this and big businesspcq isn't waiting on congress. you look at ups, it recently said it would stop covering workers's spouses if they have health care from their own employer, ibm, time warner, cnn's parent company are moving retirees into private exchanges and walgreen's said the same thing this week. you look at how washington handles this lately, it's been pushing these big issues like this right up until the deadline and businesses can't afford to wait for capitol hill to act. they're trying to get a handle on it now and get control of it ahead of time. wolf? >> alison, thanks very much. alison's watching the stocks in new york. tv's biggest stars go head to head sunday night in the 65th

a flurry of action in the house of representatives today as we have only ten days left until a possible government shutdown. around two hours or so ago, an the house passed a new spending bill which would continue the government funding but at the same time, would defund obama care. the 41st time by the way the house has passed various legislation defunding either all or parts of obama care. the vote was pretty much down party lines. only two democrats voting with the republicans, one republican voting with the democrats. but there was lots of vigorous

debate on the house floor. >> the gentle woman from california is recognized for one minute. >> this place is a mess. let's get our house in order. we are legislators. we have come here to do a job for the american people. >> gentleman from virginia is recognized. >> even the heads of major unions who are once so supportive of obama care want to see this law drastically changed to avoid further "nightmare scenarios." >> it is a blatant act of hostage taking. this bill enshrines and confirms the dissent into an economy destroying national security undermining, and ineffective rendering of the government that our country and our people need. >> madame speaker, the minority whip is dead wrong. this measure protects the full faith and credit of the united states by assuring that our sovereign debt will be paid in full and on time.

>> we need to believe in this government again! we need to do what this congress was meant to do. we need to fund the government adequately. to be a first class society with a first class economy that can compete and beat anyone! compete and beat anyone! we can't do that on they that's why we ought todj vote against this.dh thank you. >> there's not a single law worse for individual liberty, for limited government and job creation than obama care. >> the house minority leader nancy pelosi said the spending bill is designed to shutdown the government. her words. joining us now, the democratic congresswoman from florida, debbie wasserman-schultz, also the chair of the democratic national committee. congresswoman, thanks very much for coming in. it was interesting, eric cantor, a man you know well, republican majority leader singled out four democratic senators up for re-election and often republican leaning states, mark pryor of arkansas, kay hagan of north

carolina, mary landrieu of louisiana, mark begich of alaska and basically saying you guys better be careful, if you vote with the democrats this time and don't defund obama care, your re-election could be in trouble. put on your hat as the chair of the dnc. how worried are you these four might vote with the republicans. >> i'm glad you noticed what i noticed, which is that the republicans through their leadership made it very clear to vote to shut the government down if obama care is not defunded. they made it very clear what this is about for them. it's about politics. not only after they voed on the house floor to do that did the republican conference erupt into applause, imagine, erupting into applause over shutting the government down potentially and denying people health care, but then they all traipsed into the rayburn room for a rally in which the majority leader eric cantor told the whole country what this is about. it's about politics. naming specific senators who they perceived to be vulnerable

and calling them out and trying to suggest that the ball's in their court. this is about an internal civil war going on in the republican party whereym clearly, the tea party has won. they are hurtling us towards government shutdown and economic crisis. it is unconscionable, irresponsible and sirely avoidable. the ball is firmly in the republicans' court. they need to embrace sanity. >> how worried are you these four democratic senators potentially could be vulnerable in their bid for re-election might vote with the republicans? >> this is not about politics. this is about making sure -- i'm a member of the house of representatives, wolf. i reb the 23rd congressional district in south florida. this is about making sure that we don't tie ideological fights and certainly don't tie whether or not 30 million people get acis esto health care to whether or not we adequately fund the government. the republicans continue to rigidly adhere to do gma and

ideology. that's what this is about. the speaker needs to lead. they need to stop having the tail wag the dog and they need to go to see the some courage and stop thinking about remaining in power and think about what's best for the american people and our economy. there's no one -- no economic experts this is a good idea. >> it is about a roll call. so it is about politics in the sense that if these four democrats were to vote with the republicans right now, the democrats if you add the two independents who caucus with them, they have 54, republicans have 46. even if all four went with the republicans it would be a 50-50 tie assuming nobody showed up. the vice president would break the tie so the democrats would be in good shape. they would win. but still, if there is an element of politics here --c &hc >> what this boils down to now is the republicans in the house today voted to choose between

shutting is the government down if obama care is not defunded, knowing that the senate is not going to pass and agree with them on that. knowing that president obama would veto it if for some reason it got to his desk. so they've chosen to rigidly adhere to their dogmatic ideology to take the economy over a cliff and essentially what we're deciding here, thanks to the republicans is which car are we going to take? default on our debt and not pay our byes and not raise the debt ceiling or is it going to be shut the government down over whether or not we fund obama care. that has been settled when we passed the bill out of congress and the president signed into law, again when the supreme court upheld it as constitutional and further settled last november when barack obama was re-elected president of the united states. and one of the major questions was whether or not they supported implementing obama care. >> debbie wasserman-schultz, the

chair of the dnc. you've got your hands full. we'll see what happens, assuming the senate rejects what the house just passed and we all assume that will be the case. it will go back to the house. >> it's totally gr@yunavoidable. save the economy. >> we should know something by the end of the next week. thanks very much for coming from. we're standing by to hear from the president of the united states. he's in liberty, miles o'brien right now. he'll be reacting to this house vote. stay with us. and hearing everything from our marketing partners, the media and millions of fans on social media can be a challenge. that's why we partnered with hp to build the new nascar fan and media engagement center. hp's technology helps us turn millions of tweets, posts and stories into real-time business insights that help nascar win with our fans.

once again, there you see live pictures coming from liberty, missouri. the president of the united states will be speaking fairly soon. we'll have live coverage and get his reaction. i'm sure it will be a negative reaction to what the house of representatives has just done allowing the government stay in business but defunding obama care, the legislation now moving to the senate. other news we're following, vladimir putin. senator john mccain, iranian president hassan rouhani, it's the hottest tool in international diplomacy. we're talking about the article in the pages of the "washington post." iran's new president made a pledging to "engage in constructive be interaction with the world." he echoed that sentiment in an interview with nbc news. >> let me ask you, president ahmadinejad said the holocaust is a myth. do you agree? >> translator: i'm not a historian. i'm a politician. what is important for us is that

the countries of the region and the people of the world grow closer to each other and that they are able to prevent injustice. >> so if i might ask you one more time, do you want to decry those statements? >> we are not seeking and looking for war with any nation. we are seeking peace and stability among all nations in the region. >> let's bring in the israeli ambassador to the united states, microal orrin. what do you think? this new president of iran, more reasonable, more moderate than ahmadinejad, someone the u.s. maybe some day israel could deal with. >> let's get this straight. here's a man who just said he won't deny that the -- won't deny those who deny the ho low cost. that's perceived as being moderate. that's a pretty low bar. >> he insisted he wants to speak with the united states, meet with the united states, inviting journalists, releasing a few not

many political prisoners and saying he has no objective to build a nuclear bomb. >> this is the same rouhani who back in 2004 bragged about smiling at the west and installing centrifuges for a nuclear weapon. he says iran never wanted a nuclear weapon. american intelligence knows that's a lie and "the new york times" article he says the window for solving the iranian nuclear problem is closing. what is he threatening? >> you don't see any significant change wien this new president and ahmadinejad? >> it mayyñ be a change of styl. if there's any seriousness, he has to cease enriching uranium and take the stockpile they have and ship it abroad, close the secret facility that was made to prevent the west from preventing him from getting a nuclear weapon, close that and he has to close the plutonium reactor which could make a weapon very

quickly. >> could that be done through dialogue? i raise the question, there's a lot of speculation. the white house is indicating maybe the president next week at the united nations general assembly, president obama would meet with the president rouhani. >> president obama has said that his words have to be tested. and there are four security"rút cou'cil resolutions that iran has violated. remember how hard it was to get a secure council resolution on syria? you have four of them. they're in violation. only after they have stopped the enrichment, only after they have closed them, stopped the stockpile abroad. >> you would be upset if there was a meeting next week between president obama and president rowhani. >> we believe rowhani has to be tested. this is how he can be tested. this is a man who has lied about the nuclear program in the past. he's bragged about lying about the program to the west in the past. test him. see if he's serious.

>> prime minister netanyahu is going to be speaking next week, too, right? >> he's scheduled. >> and he's scheduled to come to washington to speak to president obama. last year's speech, he drew the hourglass, time is running out. how much time is there, do you believe, in the israeli government, in allowing a peaceful resolution of this nuclear issue that has been at the forefront in iraq. >> members drew that red line. they drew the red line to keep the iranians from acquiring the amount of enrichment they need for one nuclear blom, and they succeeded. but what they did do is install thousands of centrifuges. some are of a new generation that can increase the enrichment rate by five fold. they can break out a nuclear bomb in a short time of time and create not one but several bombs. indeed, the time has grown much, much shorter. no country has a greater

interest in resolving this than israel. they have the most skin in the game, but for that reason, we have to be careful. we have seen the iranians lie about this program time and time again. >> we'll see what happens. rowhani will be in new york next week. syria, do you think this u.s.-russian deal to destroy eventually syria's chemical weapons stockpile can work? >> well, we hope so. we think that it's an interest not just of israel, of the entire middle east and global security. if it will work, we will be there to support it. what ties the two in, syria and iran, is the credibility of the american millty threat. that's what got people to talk about a diplomatic situation in syria, and we believe a continuation of a threat on the table stands the best chance of bringing the iranians around. >> do you believe the u.s. military threat president obama put out there convinced bashar al assad to, a, acknowledge he has chemical weapons. b, to detail where they are, how

much he has, and eventually destroy them? was it the u.s. military threat that did that? >> i think the american military threat was so credible that it certainly brought the russians around. and convinced them to cooperate. >> so, give us the israeli government's reaction to what's happening in syria. you're right next door, so you have a lot at stake. what do you think the u.s., the international community should be doing? 100,000 people have been killed over the past two years. >> we're not going to get dragged into the syrian civil war. clearly, bashar al assad has killed over 100,000 of his own citizens. he's provided tens of thousands of rockets to his people in lebanon. he tried to make a nuclear facility a few years back. it doesn't exist anymore. the world would be a better place without him. we're not going to be dragged into that internal civil war,

but we want to see the chemical weapons to be removed and verifiable. >> i know you're wrapping up your tenure here in washington, but 4 1/2 years, going back to israel. good luck to you. thanks for all the times you came here on cnn. >> my great honor. >> appreciate it. want to go to liberty, missouri, the president of the unit speaking out. >> plant might not have been here had it not been for the great work of jay. so that's important to know. we've got my outstanding secretary of health and human services, former governor of kansas, kathleen sebelius is in the house. she basically just came because her son and his feyauiance are , but we're glad she's here. one of my greatest friends and just a tough, smart, dedicated

public servant, senator claire mccaskill is here. give claire a round of applause. your former mayor, preacher, can do everything. emanuel cleaver is in the house. current mayor of kansas city, sly james, is here. mayor of kansas city, kansas, mark holland is here. and the mayor right here in liberty, lindell brenton and his lovely wife roxanne are here. there they are.

now, when i said i was flying into kansas city to see an incredible success story in action i did not think i was going to be talking about the chiefs. before you get carried away, are just want to point out that the bears are 2-0. i'm just saying. and we're actually able to pass more than ten yards. just a little trash talking. we'll see how we're looking at the end of the season. i want to give special thanks to

ford ceo. this is one of our outstanding business leaders, has helped to lead forward, to be the number one automaker in the united states of america. allen mulaye is here. we're very proud of him. doesn't matter if you've got an outstanding ceo if you don't have outstanding workers and the president of local 249 jeff wright is here. your launch manager, todd jerinowski i really like because he's a bears and a sox fan. come on, give todd a big round of applause.

and i very much appreciate him and some of the other folks showing me around this new stamping plant right here. now, you may not be aware of this, but you and i have a little history together. i may roll in a cadillac these days. no, no, but it's not my car. i'm just renting, just like my house. the lease runs out in about three and a half years. before that, i was driving around in a 2008 ford escape. came right off these assembly lines. some of you might have been involved in building it. it was a great car. problem is, i got secret service about a month after i bought the car. so i've only got 2,000 miles on it.

it is in mint condition. so i want to say thank you for building my car. but i also came here to talk about what's got to be the number one priority in this country. and that is growing our economy, creating new jobs, and making sure that everyone who works hard in america has a chance to get ahead. so our number one priority. now, some of you remember five years ago, a financial crisis hit wall street. it then turned into a devastating recession on main street. and it came close to being another great depression. by the time i took office, the economy was shrinking at a rate of 8% a year. unprecedented. our businesses were shedding 800,000 jobs a month.
