more as an army brat and i appreciate you bringing it up. >> you can go to facebook or twitter to weigh in. would breaching the debt limit be catastrophic for the u.s. commit? 71% of you say yes. the debate continues online at cnn dorkt/crossfire. from the left i'm van jones. >> from the right i'm newt gingrich. join us tomorrow. senator sheldon whitehouse and ted cruz will be on "crossfire." erin burnett starts right now. >> let's make a deal. we'll do everything we can to get this solved. >> is president obama only talking about the royal we? and a woman vanishes from a hospital. she is found dead weeks later. it turns out now she may never have left. >> what happened

>> good evening, everyone. we begin "outfront" with news. a democratic lawmaker who just left a private meeting with the president at the white house tells cnn, the president signals a more, quote, give on the idea of a temporary six-week deal to lift the debt ceiling. that could be significant, obviously. dana bash is on capitol hill. i want to get straight to you. what have you learned? so many questions. is the shutdown involved? will we be in the same place we are now in six weeks? what happened? >> unclear about the first question, probably about the second question. we've been reporting since yesterday, and really even

earlier, that this could be the makings of a potential deal. when i say this, this is a temporary six-week increase in the debt ceiling to give more time for negotiations. as you said, i was told by a democratic lawmaker who was at a meeting with the democratic caucus of the house at the white house, that the president said that he would be open to this. he said so publicly but it seems in private he was even more open to it. i was told that he said, if that's what speaker boehner needs to climb out of the tree he's stuck in, that's something we should look at. he also made clear to democrats, according to this lawmaker who i spoke with, that they feel that they're on firm ground right now. and if they say no to this. if the speaker wants to do this, they won't be on that firm ground they are right now. so this lawmaker will me, that came away with the quote, small measure of hope that this does become the exit strategy. of course, as with everything, the devil is gt to be in the details. and the question is going to be

if this is the road that everybody goes down, what will the parameters of the negotiations be? because every senior republican source i've spoken to in the house has said in order for this to work, there have to be very specific parameters for negotiations on what they would entail with regard to what republicans are asking for. something that deal with reducing the debt and the deficit. that's where we are tonight. they're going to be a series of meetings tomorrow. maybe most importantly with house republican leaders and key committee chairman, republican chairman and the white house. and the president, i should say. >> thank you very much. obviously this could be significant, although again, six weeks, every time we've had one of these deadlines, it waits until the next deadline. and here we are in the same position we are right now. one could argue, it is better to solve this now rather than wait six weeks and do it over again. our second story outfront. one of the few people in the world who will determine what happens when and if the debt ceiling is reached.

he is not a politician but he does control a lot of your money, your pension, your 401(k). nearly $2 trillion worth. the manager of the largest bond fund, bill gross, co-cio of pimco. i know i am a bit jaded but i hear a six-week extension. i hear this is bad enough now. everyone will calm down and then we'll go through it again. what do you think about that in. >> it is better than nothing. it is like a toothache. at some point you have to go to the dentalist and face up to the oral surgery, so to speak. there has to be a resolution to the extend that it is not october 17th or some associated date, then fine. but at some point they have to get together and then solve the problem of the debt ceiling. >> the debt ceiling itself. you're dealing with this every day. when you do your job. and people are throwing around all kinds of allegations and charges and words. let me get the bottom line from

you. have you changed how you're investing due to this countdown to the debt ceiling? >> no, we haven't. if the debt ceiling is postponed, it is just a question of priorities. in terms of what the treasury decides to do. i mean, they have enough money basically to pay for interest. they have enough money to pay for maturities. the government takes in $300 billion a month themselves only pay out $40 billion in terms of interest. it is a question of prioritizing payments to bond holders and other resip yenlts such as veterans and those are social security. the government can pay. are they willing to let bond holders go to the front of the line? that's the question. as a bond holder, you asked, have we changed our prioritizing in term of what we buy? basically not. we believe that the possibility of a default is 500,000 to one.

base clay million to one. so we continue to buy treasuries and front end treasuries that stand a chance, perhaps, of being defaulted technically in the next few weeks. >> would it seem to me, when you say they have the continue to to do it. to faye interest. if you talk about a company keeping its full faith and credit, that it would be suicidal to them to not make those interest payments to you. therefore to people's pensions. to all the countries in the world that lend this country money. that would be a crazy decision to make. and the crucial word is, it would be a decision. >> we think so. of course, we're bond holders and we think the front of the line is the appropriate place. i would say that the treasury market to the extent that it is a default free market basically sets the tone for the global economy. to the stenlt that a treasury does money good, then price of

the treasury, the yield sets the tone for the rest the financial markets around the globe and for the global economy. so if you have a default in terms of treasuries, then you have problems everywhere. >> and let me ask you the other big news that is highly relevant, the president formally choosing janet yellen to be his next fed chief. it has to go through congress. your point of view. can she do it? forget whether she wants to, can she? >> i think she can. there's a limit to what the fed can do in material of writing checks at the moment for the year themselves write a trillion worth of collection to buy treasuries and more gablgs. your question. can janet continue? we think she can for a while. if the fed tapers, if the fed stops buying treasuries of kwan tative ease go becomes a thing of the past, she will have to convince investors that policy

rate, that the fed funds will be held constant for a long time. we think she can do that. we think she is the logical successor to ben bernanke but ultimately, a central bank is not, does not have unlimited powers in terms of what they can do. >> well, bill, thank you very much. we really appreciate you taking the time. you heard bill gross say it there. he believes the government could pay that interest out regardless of what happens with the debt ceiling. still outfront. did poor timing of a raid in libya cost the capture? then? and then the story gets even stranger and more disturbing. if it is true, why did not he step in to stop what was happening? plus an interview of a father of a 9-year-old who hop a plenty to vegas without a ticket. why his father said he will probably do it again.

a second officer being investigated for his alleged role in that violent confrontation between a group of bikers and an suv. he was off duty and riding with noikists. this come after an nypd detective was arrested for his role in the fight. he was form hely charged. what happened in court today

with that undercover detective? you broke that last night that he was going there and it happened very quickly. >> we're finding a lot more about what he's charged with. now we're hearing officially that he is charged with smashing the rear window of that suv using his fist. not only that but then kicking, kicking the suv as well. now, the lawyer had a lot to say. in fact, emthe video, your honor, will exonerate my client. that's what he told reporters as well. and he said that it will prove his client was not within 12 feet of the vehicle. and furthermore, he said the wind over was already broken. while his client was there. my sources tell me, it's just not true. in fact, the window was not broken until this man smashed and it there is video to approve it. i have to tell you something else, too. my sources are also telling me that this officer, when he first was being questioned by authorities, implied, as they put it, that he was a detail

undercover. that he wasn't offduty after all. then they said his story shifted and em, well, i did see an assault but i didn't report it. then that shifted again once authorities said, we have video evidence that you played an active role. well, clearly through his lawyer, he said it is not true. >> the video will prove it. that undercover detective and then today the other undercover offduty officer. >> we're learning more about that. he has not been accused of anything. but additional information tonight, we've always said that he was being questioned and that he was in essence cooperating with authorities. i've learned that he was in fact also off duty. he was riding with the other off duty detective. however my source tells me they have no information that he

played any kind of active role in the assault. so at this point, it doesn't appear that he will be charged but we'll see what happens. however, they continue to look for those other civilian bikers. that's their main thrust right now. and in fact we learned a few minutes ago that they have indeed arrested yet another biker and charged him with gang assault. >> the story just gets bigger and bigger. thank you very much. susan has been breaking the details. our fourth story is a father's play for help. tonight father of a 9-year-old boy who hopped on a plane to vegas without a ticket is speaking out about his son's troubled history. you may say history? he is 9 years old. but there is a pattern. the man who did not want to be identified said he has met with doctors, school authorities to get hem with his son's behavioral issues. this makes you think of a lot of other things that have happened in this country where we don't seem to have a mental health net to help children with mental

health issues. he is worried his son may pull another stunt if no one steps in to help. >> we were asking for help. >> reporter: in what can only be describe it's a weird press conference, the tearful, disguised father of the 9-year-old boy who got past security and on the a delta flate to las vegas made a very public cry for help. >> i don't know how my 9-year-old son, we've been asking for help. no one stemmed up to help. >> reporter: the man says the last he new, his rambunctious 9-year-old took out the trash. the next thing he knew for sure, his kid was in vegas. >> how would you let a 9-year-old child go through security check without stopping him and questioning him? how can that be? he is not a terrorist. he is a 9-year-old child.

he went through screening. he boarded the plane. how is that possible? >> reporter: but this seems to be a different sort of neighbor-year-old who comes with a history. his father says in just the last few weeks, he was suspended from school for fighting. that's when he stole a truck and there are suggestions, he purposely wrecked it. the minneapolis star tribune found more. four child protection assessments on the boy's family since 2012. the boy is described as challenging and claimed to investigators that his mother health a knife to his throat and seemingly fantasized that his mother was stabbed and died. a family spokesperson said the county is now offering services and program to help an exasperated family. here's what the father told police the last time his son got in trouble. >> i asked the officer, please, sir, can you go upstairs with me, watch me whoop his butt. the officer told me, if i see

you hit your son, we're going to have to lock you up. >> reporter: a defiant 9-year-old. a family struggling to deal with him. >> reporter: he was spotted on security cam video on the escalators, playing like any other 9-year-old would do before foaling with a family and getting through security barriers. they say they may change the configuration of the barriers because of that. the spokesperson said they may be back on friday where i'm sure he'll be due for another whooping. now tonight's money and power. $1009. a curved smartphone made by samsung called the round. we can't test it because it is only going on sale in south korea. we can tell you it only comes in not black, not the new apple color of gold but in my recent

our fifth story "outfront." a woman vanishes from a hospital for 17 days. it turns out she may never have left. lynn spalding checked herself into san francisco general on september 19th. two days later she disappeared. now authorities say a body found in a stairwell at the hospital is believed to be the missing

mother of two. this is shocking. it is shocking that it could have happened in the united states. how does a body go unnoticed in a hospital? like san francisco general for more than two weeks? dan simon is "outfront." >> i want to know that this would never happen to anyone else. >> reporter: today raw emotion as friends of lynne prospaling sharply criticize the san francisco hospital where the woman's body was found outside one of the stairwells. how could the hospital staff not find her for 17 days? >> there are so many places around here that someone could go or go or be disoriented or be in harm's way. ? what happened at our hospital is horrible. >> reporter: they could provide little in the way of real answers. >> we are here to take care of patients. to heal them. to keep them safe. this has shaken us to our core. our staff is devastated.

we don't know what happened to this woman. >> reporter: lynne spalding, the mother of two with a thick british accent was admitted to the hospital on cement 19th for a serious infection. two days later, she vanished from her room. 15 minutes after being checked on by a nurse. the family recalls her room on the fifth floor, highlighted by this box. the red arrow showing where her body was discovered one floor below in a fire escape. when spalding walked through doors to the fire escape, the hospital said they would have automatically locked behind her. the only way out would have been to find the exit to the hospital grounlds. >> we're not hear to throw anyone under the bus. >> reporter: a family spokesman questioning why no one looked in that fire escape. he wonders whether she may have been dazed by powerful medication. >> lynne spalding died alone in a stairwell and her body was there 17 days. >> reporter: a member of the engineering staff found her body. the employee doing a routine check. at this point the family

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising.

eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

welcome back to the second

half of "outfront." u.s. officials confirmed to cnn after a bit of backtracking the military aid to egypt will be cut. halting delivery of f-16s, apache helicopters, harpoon missiles and tank parts. it all adds up to about $500 million which is nearly half of the $1.3 billion in annual military aid the united states gives egypt. a lot of people have been asking why the united states hasn't cut off aid to egypt as hundreds if not thousands have been killed in violent clashes with the interim government which forcibly removed the interim president from power. according that's a lot of money. it dwarfs the u.s. military aid. that might then government consolidate power but it cannot be used for what just a minute really wants on the military side. american weapons, american helicopters, american guns,

american planes and american parts for their tanks. kaitlin hunt is currently serving a four-month sentence under a plea deal. you see her here. she is wearing an orange jump suit. she talk at a our affiliate and said she didn't understand why she was in trouble. she said the girl was the person she once confided in. but she now believes that girl put her away. >> i care about her as a person. it is someone i dated for a long time but i don't love her the way i did before. >> relieved that this is almost behind her. after jail she'll be under house arrest for two years. bad. still in the headline and so addictive and that "variety" magazine reports, offered to pay $75 million for three els. that is an incredible amount of money considering each else only costs about $3.5 million to

make. the idea was to roll them out online in small snippets over 30 days. variety tells us he spoke with catsenberg tonight. and tend ideas came too late. that the final else had been shot. even though there is talk about whether it can be revived. i don't want to be a spoiler but i do not believe that is possible. our sixth story "outfront." dropping the ball on libya. the u.s. military may have had plans to seize two high profile targets including the militia leader behind the attack on the american consulate in which four americans were murder in the benghazi a year ago. but it didn't happen. the raid in tripoli that captured abu al libi. and now he may have gone into hiding. outfront, nick robertson in tripoli live with the latest. you are in the place to be. and obviously, it seems, you

know, it could possibly have been a bit of incompetence here on the part of planners. how did this go so wrong? >> reporter: it's hard to say how it went wrong. but we have to say it is incredible that a guy like al libi could be lifted from his home with his family and have nothing for several days given that they know his background. the fact that people remain quiet is surprising. in benghazi, suspected of being behind the murder of u.s. ambassador chris stevens. we've talk to people close to him. and he has the feeling that no one will pick him up right now because of what has happened in tripoli. the lifting of al libi. he feels that he is pretty safe right now. i talk as well earlier to the justice minister here. and he is very clear. he says the united states has no authority to come in for a

second arrest. indeed, he said it would be very damaging for the government, erin. >> and of course, cattala spoke on this. and at that time he had not talk to anyone. had not been debriefed by any u.s. intelligence but was willing to talk to journalists. what are these operations in the fallout saying about the libyan government? i know that's probably a generous word to describe it. how much the united states can rely on libyans for cooperation? >> reporter: you know, i put that precisely to the justice minister here a couple hours ago. i said could you arrest abu attala right now? he said i could do it soon. how soon? not tonight but hopefully very soon. the bottom line here is, the government doesn't have a national security institution. it doesn't have a national earl, a national police.

it doesn't to go benghazi. listen to the gunfire behind me here. it doesn't go very far in this city at all. crime is on the rise in the country. so the bottom line for the government is, they're not going on get out and arrest him any time soon. i asked the justice minister. is this country libya, a failed state? and he said it is close to being a failed state. he hopes the government can turn it around. that's the reality. even the leaders in this country realize that libya is in a very, very precarious position. >> nic robson, reporting live from tripoli. and i think it says it all about what the situation is when he is there on a regular night and you can still hear gunfire. our seventh story "outfront." throughout the shutdown, the white house has said the president would reject any efforts to fun the government piecemeal. >> this piecemeal approach is

gimmickry and irresponsible. the slags to all of this is not the piecemeal reaction to them. or a band-aid approach to solving them. >> except that sometimes piecemeal approaches have worked for the white house. in the same briefing, carney told reporters, the president would make sure that families of fallen u.s. soldiers would receive death benefits. >> the president expects this to be fixed today. >> today. >> he was not pleased to learn of this problem. and he has directed them to find a solution and he expects to have one today. >> the problem was fix. the pentagon reached an agreement with a charity that would pay the money owed to the military families. they voted unanimously to everybody sure the benefits would be restored. no one can or should argue that they deserve the funds and

deserve them immediately. the question is a broader one. is the white house sending mixed messages? "outfront," tim cain, good to see you. really appreciate it. >> the white house has repeatedly said, they don't want to do this in a piecemeal fashion. but that is what is happening on some level. is the president talking out of both sides of his mouth? >> i don't think so. when we acted earlier, and my days are running together, last week or over the week. a lot of us thought this had been taken care of. when it became clear that it was at least ambiguous or that it wasn't clear, i'm really glad secretary hagel stepped in. i'm flood the house did what they did. these benefits are benefits that should be paid. the bigger picture is this. i do think the white house is right. that you can't let people shut down the whole government and then selectively decide what they want to reopen. because if you do that, you're going to have a shutdown every year. people who cannot get what they

want, who refuse a budget negotiation, will shut the entire government down and then they'll decide who they want to let up off the mat and that's no way to run the government of the greatest nation on earth. >> what about this deal reported on tonight? dana bash was saying, one of the democratic lawmakers, left and said, they fell the president was more willing to give in materials of a temporary deal. >> six weeks, i hear this and i have to say, i don't know. i get frustrated. every time, i'm sure you do, too. every time there is a little stall, whether it is six weeks or 18 months, we end up right where we are. >> well, i'll say this to you. i think we all know that at a minimum, this will be a two-step process. if you do a debt ceiling in cr, as we want to do, we acknowledge, we're still going to have to come back to do<  t budget deal. for 2014, maybe even a broader

one to deal with the sequester. there will be two stems. the first might be six or eight weeks. that's understood. what we need to do is reopen government and aif i recall that america will honor its debts. we need to get into a budget negotiation that the senate has been trying to do. >> let me ask but what paul ryan that. the stalemate can end because both parties can agree on the need for entitlement and tax reform. and he noted a sunny statistic. entitlement spending is expected to go 79%. he suggested that could be changed with things like increasing the retirement age. and i know plenty of democrats who agree with that. are you open to making a deal that would include those kinds of things? >> erin, when i saw that article by paul ryan, i just was, you've got to be kidding me. we pass ad budget in the senate in march that basically put a number in for entitlement reform

we've been trying to go to a conference with the house since the 26th of march and they've been blocking it. every time we've tried, we don't want a conference because we don't want to compromise. what they wanted was a confrontation. not a compromise. and less than three hours after they shut government down, they then sent across. now we're ready to sit down and have a conference. we want to have a conference over what are the conditions under which we will allow the government of the united states to reopen. but look, at any point, it is a good idea. if they come to it after six and a half months, of course we want to sit down and do it. there is no reason to keep these people laid off. private contractors. i met with them today in my office. they're all laid off for a load. they're all worried about their paychecks. why would we keep them laid off. they can negotiate. >> thank you very much.

appreciate your time. our eighth story, pumping iron. the government shutdown may have shut down some things but members of congress get to go to the gym. >> that's troofl it doesn't cost very much. but it costs. electricity, the hot water, the towels, they're not provided by gym fairies, they're provided by tax payers. >> it turns out it is not just the capitol gym. out front, it is already hard for people to understand when you have a shutdown and you can bring back 50% of the people who are furloughed overnight and not really explain why, but there are other things that would shock people that are exempt from the shutdown. >> if you want to take a hike right now, if you want to go to a national park our want to peek at a picasso at a national museum or visit a historic site like a battlefield under the

government's control, you can't do it. the shutdown has put all of this offlimits. in many cases there are guards telling to you stay away as if these places are raid rainfall however, if you've an outdoorsy type and you want to play a round of golf like the president, no, he's not playing out there now but the golf course at andrews air force base is still swinging. even though it is clearly a federal facility, officials say it is operating on baugt not appropriate by congress so let's open. let's say you want to protest something. the park service defended it saying it allowed this activity while shutting down many others by saying this was a first amendment matter. these people had something to say. by that rationale, i would think you could go hiking through yellowstone as long as you carried a sign and complained about global warming or something. you could say it's my first

amendment rights. and if you're a member of congress and you want to work out your frustration, you can trot down to these doors. the taxpayer six diesed capitol hill gym. they can all work out and grab a shower and trust me, their memberships are loot cheaper than anything you'll find in your neighborhood. so there's close asked then there's closed. >> we've all been hearing about the crystal glasses the state department was purchasing at the time of the shutdown which might have upset people when we have issues with embassy security, that they would be buying the crystal any way. on top of the shutdown. what's going on with that in. >> the state department did indeed place an order for between 25,000 and 5 million crystal glasses to be delivered over the next five years. this was done just ahead of the shutdown. and the glasses are coming from an american company to be used in diplomatic missions around

the world so there are jobs being created. still, the fact this contract squeaked in as the government was striking to a halt, it does have a let them eat cake feeling. still ahead, a story out of hollywood. a pilot of a plane falls sick. an untrained passenger has to land with it someone on the ground trying to tell him what to do. this was real life and we'll show it to you. then the number one song on the charts in the u.s. is it racist? before the first grandchild. smile. before katie, debbie, kevin and brad... there was a connection that started it all and made the future the wonderful thing it turned out to be... at bank of america, we know we're not the center of your life, but we'll do our best to help you connect to what is.

publicly this would happen and it did. we're keeping them honest tonight. also ahead, accident or murder? really happened to this young man kendrick johnson? family is now demanding answers. tonight disturbing details what happened somewhere between the autopsy and funeral home. a lot more to come, all at the top of the hour. our ninth story out front, royals, racism or just a number one hit song? the debut single "royals" is the top hit on the 100 chart, and the post shared song in the united states this year. that's a pretty impressive ensemble but the new zealand honest known as lord is under fire after a prominent feminist blogger criticized her, 16 years old for singing racist lyrics. listen to yourself. ♪ bloodstains trashing a hotel

room, we don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams ♪ ♪ jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash, we don't care we aren't caught up in your love affair ♪ >> out front tonight, show biz tonight. a.j., it's been out since march and in case anyone couldn't hear the lyrics, it said gold teeth, gray goose, tripping in the bathroom, bloodstains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel rooms, we don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams. >> there is a feminist blogger calling out lord saying the lyrics are racist and got traction not necessarily because of the column itself but responses. so many of lord's fans have gone online to defend lord and say what are you talking about? let me rid a bit of what this blogger said in her blog. she said while i love a good critique of wealth accumulation

at equity this song is not one, in fact, it's deeply racist because we all know what we're talking gold teeth, cristal and maybacks. hip-hop artists are known to name drop these things. >> as an american you would say in those videos, that's what they do but she's a 16-year-old from new zealand. do you think race had anything to do with it? >> not at all. it's a huge stretch. she grew up listening to hip-hop and let's face it, aero smith, the rolling stones, black keys aren't singing about these things. the music that she listens to, that lord listens to this is what they are talking about. it was only natural for her to drop them. she also sings about jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold learn. it's consumer.

i'm surprised by it. there are people out there on social media defending this blogger and saying yeah, you have a point there. if you look really, really deep into it maybe you can find something but that's not at all the intention here and i don't think that's what is at play. >> the blogger, veronica sent a statement and said she's pushing back saying this is racism, not just a casual encounter but an entire system that requires consistent reinforcement and dehumanization of people of color to uphold. she could be right but perhaps not intended racism? >> i don't even see it that way but there is a lot of music this blogger would have to go after. there was a huge song by jessie jay last year, a white english singer who was singing about music and how now today it's all about these are the lyrics, low blows and video hoes. you know, she wants to harken back to a time whit was simple

and about peace and smiling and love and not about bling. it's part about pop culture and race is about. direct racism, i don't think so? >> if you're looking for offensive words in songs -- >> there are a lot of places to go. >> thanks to a.j. we'll be right back. clients are always learning more to make their money do more.
