-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com good evening everyone. we're live tonight from washington d.c. where the people who work in the building behind me are racing against the clock and tonight the clock is winning a. plan to house vote on a deal is dead. look at the clock on the bottom of the screen, there is just about 28 hours to go until the debt ceiling deadline and tonight there is breaking news, more evidence that this is not a game. if lawmakers don't want to listen to the polls that show how much you, the american people disapprove of how they are doing their jobs, perhaps they will listen to this. tonight the credit rating agency fich said the rating could be downgraded. it's called a rating watch

negative. we'll have more on that in a moment. in a statement they said the political brinks men ship could increase the default. where are we on a deal the end the risk ordeal lay it? all day we were expecting a vote on the house floor, tonight on a deal to reopen the government and avert a debt default but low and behold, house republican leaders cancelled that vote. we begin with dana bash who has been closely watching this ticking time bomb that's the debt ceiling negotiation and christian romans is looking at what happens if that bomb explodes. first we begin with dana. where wiare we? >> we'll read an e-mail from a democratic source says in the senate, they are close to a deal and a deal could be actually filed tonight. so that is news i'm literally just getting and we heard the same optimism from republican sources in the senate, as well. >> when you talk about a deal in the senate, is that under sort of the same guidelines we were talking about last night?

>> that's exactly right. it will look almost exactly like the deal before. the question is if there are tweaks around the edges and also there they will be able to do this in an expedited way,i ist' not the votes but the time. >> they wanted the house to do something for procedure reasons. >> the reason is because there is a way that they can move a bill if it starts in the house than it can be expedited in the senate and the news i'm also getting right now is john boehner, the house speaker, even though he doesn't have the votes to pass an actual bill there is a way he can send a shell to allow the senate to move in an expedited way. it means it will be easier for them to bring up the bill and harder for people like ted cruz to filibuster, even for them to not even bring the bill up but it still might take a little bit of time if any senator so chooses to then get the bill off the floor and over to the house.

>> is there a guarantee the senate bill would pass in the house? >> no, in the house there is no guarantee. i mean, at this point, first of all, just assuming it does pass the senate it will be right back in john boehner's court, the court he was unable -- >> unwilling to bring up -- >> unwilling to even bring it up from the senate before, but that was before we were really literally up against the deadline. the assumption from people around john boehner is that he would allow it to come to the floor. i mean, the fact i'm being told he'll send a shell to expedite this process suggests he will allow it to come but we've assumed he would sort of say uncle before many times and kept the process going but this time it seems like he'll try to push it even with democratic -- >> so they are still in there working. >> the house is gone. they adjourned for the night. harry reid we believe is still in the build sglg appreciate that. bring in the chief business

correspondent with more on what the downgrade means. what kind of consequences could it have? >> today was a warning but a downgrade could be a next step and that means we're at death conn two here. this is fich, the rating agency says the united states doesn't have the act together. it needed to raise the debt ceiling before now. it's too late to send the rest of the world the signal that the u.s. has its priorities in tact. when you have a warning it doesn't change interest rates, credit rating but if that were to happen, a downgrade it could make it for expensive for the u.s. and companies to borrow money and more difficult and expensive to fix the deficit, which is what this is about in the first place. it really shows what a dangerous moment we're in now and the people from outside the halls are watching us saying you needed to already raise the debt ceiling. this is a serious warning that america's government is doing

america's economy and the world economy potential harm. >> has the shut down, the fight already hurt the economy? >> absolutely, $20 billion already the damage to the economy but, you know, you talk to families that don't have a disability payment or talk to people who work with a contract with the government and haven't been able to get paid or somebody that has to be licensed and can't do their job because they are tied up in paperwork. they are feeling that at the kitchen table now. when you go back to 2009, you're talking about hundreds of thousands of jobs that should have been created that weren't because of the budget battles at a time when we really need to have traction in the economy, and again, anderson, from outside these walls, people look in. wall street looks in. people like the ratings agencies look in and say this was another wasted day in washington and we are too close to the edge. >> appreciate the update.

congressman king joins me now. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> how do you describe what you've seen today? >> the game is over. we have to get it done. john boehner has tried everything he can. no matter what he tries to do they won't go along. hopefully we'll get adult supervision from the senate or something will happen. we're talking about a real disaster coming up and the speaker tried everything he can. no matter what he does, nobody will go along. >> the speaker could have brought up a clean c.r. before, to say he's done everything, is that true? >> he has two roles, one to run the house and keep the party united. he's tried to keep the party united and move this forward. it's difficult to keep the party united. >> what are you saying about dana bash saying there appears to be a deal on the senate side. is that something you would support if it came to the house? >> i would, listen. i've said all along this is madness. it was madness to follow ted

cruz and to shutdown the government and defund obama care. it never made sense and now we're down to trying to pass a c.r. and take away health insurance from the congressional employees. that's who we shut the government for, makes no sense. >> you said those promising constituents or defunding obama care, was a fraud. >> it never could have succeeded. i can't imagine going into battle knowing you can't win and continuing to tell your people you are winning. like never, never land. paralal universals, whatever you want to call it. >> what do you think would happen with the senate bill assuming it's under the same bills since yesterday in terms of continuing the government, ending up shut down and not defunding, not delaying obama care. could that pass in the house? >> yeah, i'm certain as i can be of anything, i'm certain of that. you can probably get enough democrats and republicans to get it through. >> boehner would allow it to

come to the house. >> i don't know what john would do. if he's going to be involved, he would allow it to come to the house floor. it's getting too close to the wire. >> have you ever seen anything like this? >> noting this bad. i've seen battles. back in 1995 or 199 you can argue whether there should be a government shutdown. both sides were negotiating throughout. we shutdown the government which is a dramatic thing to do for a goal that we never had a chance of obtaining based on one guy from texas who somehow convinced 40 house members this was a crusade they had to carry out. >> do you think this hurt ted cruz or benefitted him among constituents. >> may have helped among constituents but nationally may have hurt him. rather than criticize congress, target ted cruz. this could not have happened. >> why aren't people naming names? >> afraid of primaries or afraid

of offending someone or stay ahead of the battle. the fact is we'll be backed no matter what. we'll do this again in three or four moments. he'll say we're on the verge of winning back in october and republicans panicked and quit too soon. we'll win this time. i can see that nonsense coming from him that he with have to go out of our way to target him and show he's a false profit and phony. >> to those who say it wouldn't be that bad if the deadline passed, if we didn't raise the debt. >> that's what you expect radical democrats to say in the 19 60s to say, not republicans. >> let us know what you think, follow me on twitter. how all this is playing out in the big white building about a mile and a half from here. we'll get reaction when we continue. people don't have to think about where their electricity comes from. they flip the switch-- and the light comes on. it's our job to make sure that it does.

breaking news on the government shutdown, a house vote cancelled, it looked like the ball is back in the senate's course. a source telling dana bash the senate is close to a deal, which could be filed tonight meanwhile president obama today called on republicans to get moving. here is what he said to cnn affiliate wabc. >> we don't have a lot of time. what i'm suggesting to the congressional leaders is let's not do any posturing. let's not try to save face. let's not worry about politics. do what's right, open the government, and make sure we're paying our bills and we could do that today. >> the president said negotiations have been tough because john boehner quote can't control his caucus.

what is the latest you're hering at the white house about house republicans cancelling the vote and a possible deal on the senate. >> we learn add short time ago we definitely won't hear from president obama tonight but white house officials aren't particularly surprise that house speaker john boehner did not have the votes and they had house democratic leaders today and the white house wanted to make sure they remain unified if there is a volt. really right now the president is focused on the senate. the white house is certainly working in concert with senate majority leader harry reid has he's in negotiations. >> in focus, as we said, shifted back to the senate. how confident are the president and the team the senate can get a bill back to the house before the default? the clock is ticking here. >> the clock is ticking and i've been told to a white house official through the whole process he's been concerned and frustrated. you don't get the sense, there

is time at this point, anderson, thursday is the deadline where the u.s. is expected to run out of borrowing authority but that doesn't technically mean that is when the default happens. the white house is stressing that is really the last sure fire off ramp to avoid a default. so really do feel that is the deadline. >> we obviously don't know precisely what a default would look like but the white house, i mean, they obviously are extremely nervous about financial markets tomorrow and beyond. >> they are certainly very nervous. one, as one white house official put it to me, the markets have been behaving vaguely rational at this point up until now so it depends tomorrow whether the markets look at what is going on in the senate or reassured. i think the white house is more reassured that the senate can maybe come to a compromise but i'll tell you anderson, nothing motivates lawmakers like markets going bonkers. so we'll certainly see if that

happens tomorrow and adds to the pressure to really lock in a compromise and for the house to essentially be forced to swallow a bitter pill. >> thank you. congressman javier was in a meeting today with the senate bill on hold, strong words for republican colleagues in the house even before tonight's vote was cancelled. listen. >> for the house republicans to now come out and say they will do something contrary to what the senate republicans are discussing seems to be a reckless attempt to circumvent what the senate is trying to do, when we for the first time go over the cliff and allow the economy to be put at risk by not paying past bills, that to me seems irresponsible and short of common sense. >> he joins me live. what do you make of what is going on at this late hour?

are you confident a deal can get done by the deadline? >> i'm confident a deal can be done by the deadline if republicans don't put up barriers to get it done. if the senate republicans and a bipartisan basis work with senator reid and the democrats, should get done quickly. >> if they file something tonight, tomorrow what would happen. >> tomorrow the senate can put it up. so long as there aren't objections it could sail through the senate, bipartisan, come through the house. if speaker boehner doesn't put up barriers here should be able to sale. anderson, remember, we had the votes to stop the government from shutting down and keep us from defaulting on payment of the bills from the beginning. >> had to be allowed to come to a clean start. >> that's right. >> how confident are you that speaker boehner would allow it to come to the floor? >> i think now that he's seen the effort purely partisan, now

that that's collapsed he would see that. if he doesn't want to play with other people's money which is what republicans are doing. when i have a senior back home that worked for 50 years and earned social security and told that's in jeopardy, republicans are playing with other people's money. if the speaker doesn't want to play with other people's money, he'll put up a bill and get passed quickly. >> i mean, he said he would not vote for a house bill when that was being discussed. >> he made it very clear that the shenanigans that house republicans were playing, wasn't going to do it. he was supportive of the process at work in the senate and hoping we could move quickly. he -- i think he used the words modestly confident we can get it done on time and i think once again, it's the senate that has adults and if they coal forward with the bill and republicans don't play shenanigans at the house, we should get it done.

>> do you have to look to another legislative body to be adult. >> nobody runs for office to watch this. we got work to do. we're adults, and the consequences are real. we're not talking about some game playing here. if we don't do something about paying bills, interest rates could easily rise quickly. >> critics of this are saying look, it's kicking the can down for later negotiation. as a democrat, what are you willing to give on, if there are discussions and negotiations, conversations, whatever you want to call them, what are you willing to give on? is there something in obama care -- >> anderson, one thing we want to do is make sure we have a budget for the year, not six weeks, two months or a year and we compromised because they weren't willing to do a budget for a year. we compromised on the debt limit vote to let the bills be paid because we didn't think we should do it for six weeks or two months but a year.

we compromised on the number for the budget itself. republicans wanted a lower number. we believe we need to make investments in schools and military and wanted a higher number. we compromised so we made a number of compromises. what we're willing to do is move forward. we don't want to shut the government down. >> are you saying no more compromises? >> no, no, no once we get the government up and running and put americans to work and don't have the default looming over our heads, we can talk about anything and everything. >> a lot of republicans say that isn't the way it works. unless there is a threat of default, democrats aren't willing to come to the table. >> our job is to put a pbudget n place so if republicans want us to do our job, that's a political game and you shouldn't play a game with other people's money. >> thank you, know it's been a long day. a possible credit downgrade.

welcome back. more on breaking news, the source is dealing dana bash they are close to deal and it could be filed tonight. the credit rating agency fich put the united states on notice the rating could be downgraded if the ceiling isn't lifted in time. warren buffet is comparing to using a nuclear bomb. joining but now, robert rice and

professor of public policy at university of california and inequality for all in theaters now where he explains the impact. this announcement from fich putting the u.s. on notice for a potential downgrade, how serious a warning is that? >> it's a very serious warning anderson because it indicates the default of a default is growing. the reason short term interest rates are spiking on treasury bills already because investors are essentially saying look, the risk is growing. even if it's less than 50/50 it's growing and we demand more interest. fich's warning is simply reflecting the skittishness of investors already. >> does it have more to do with governance and the u.s.'s willingness to pay rather than

ability to pay. >> it has nothing to do with the ability to pay. we are the richest nation in the world. we can obviously pay our debts. this has to do entirely with the government -- the governing ability for the united states to fulfill commitments and pay what it owes creditors and bills overall. what fich is saying, here is a warning, here is a yellow warning light that's flashing like 2011. a warning light investors you may not be paid. there is a possibility you are not going to be and sophisticated investors already know there is a sort of lease hanging over the economy. >> if congress can't act in time by tomorrow night at midnight the nation will technically default. realistically, what does that mean? >> it's not clear the nation will default on its debts by

midnight tomorrow. jack lew says tomorrow night there will be $30 billion left. there will still be some tax receipts coming in so the doomsday, the actual hour or the day when we don't pay our creditors what is due them, may be a few days after tomorrow, may be next week, we don't know. but certainly beginning thursday, if nothing is done we are in deep trouble and creditors are going to be demanding even more of an interest payment against the risk they are baring. ultimately, this is crazy. we're talking about playing with the full faith and credit of the quite, which is the building block of not only the united states economy, anderson, the building block of the global economy. this is where savers around the world put their money into treasury bills in terms of safekeeping. if it's no longer a safekeeping

device. if it's not a foundation stone of the economy, everybody is in trouble around the world. >> robert rice, appreciate your time. bring in john king, gloria borger and david gurrigan. what are you making of what you heard today. >> we are getting mixed information and prfrom a leadin source, we're nearing a solution but nothing will be filed tonight. >> okay. >> which means you start the clock tomorrow, if they have a deal, which is still after. they have been talking optimistically and took the pause to see if the house could bail into the rescue. let's assume the senate done is filed tomorrow. the question is we assume because on notice ted cruz and a couple tea parties allies, do they find a way around that or have a two or three-day period to debate that. you don't know what will happen.

>> if that is the case then, there is no way the deadline can be met. >> it is -- i think it is almost impossible to see a scenario under which they make the deadline. that doesn't mean they don't have a deal they are working on and maybe gives some comfort. jack lew does have a little wiggle room. >> you're talking two, three more days. >> unless somebody finds a way to pull a rabbit out of a hat, we'll go to the weekend. >> you don't know what ted cruz is going to decide to do, whether he decides to hold it up, you say they will fiddle and i think that's really what it is and we've been watching chl the senate stepped aside and said let the house go first. the speaker thought he had the votes, clearly didn't. this could land back and he'll have to decide and this is going to be a very tough decision for this house speaker, monumental

whether he values his speaker ship potentially whether than this. he has to decide to bring that to the floor of house or doesn't. if he brings it to the floor of the house, i would assume it would pass. >> before it gets there, it could be bogged down with ted cruz -- >> right, it does appear. i think they are moving toward a deal. i think we'll probably have a resolution this week. it may well go past thursday. we run out of borrowing authority on thursday. we don't go into technical default but run out of borrowing authority. we do know tonight, anderson, for sure, all these people say it doesn't make difference if we default. we don't have to worry. it won't cause damage. the fich report tonight makes it clear that we're likely now having a downgrade in the credit rating. that will hurt a lot of people and send interest rates and hurt consumers, hurt the economy. >> no doubt about it. >> of course, it was an extreme

whack kind of view saying climate change. denying climate change -- >> but they don't. >> i think it's clear. >> but there are a descent number, not a majority by any means but you have whether ted cruz, mike lee, ran paul to a lesser degree, a group of 25 to 35, sometimes 40 who don't believe what fich says, you say, i say, don't believe what economists say if they worked in republican administrations or campaigns. that may be the way to get the message. this if happens and go home and the local truck dealer or local family whose 401 k went off the cliff, they ma get it through. >> we're not watching politics but seology for some of these members of congress. you talk to these folks that came here to defund obama care which, by the way, is not what they would wind up doing. they said that was their job. they hadn't done it after 40

something votes and decided let's attach to the a must pass piece of legislation and they end up with nothing like that and the government goes into default and people are backing away from them and allowing this to occur. that's what is difficult to kind of understand. >> i was -- one other thing, anderson, on this downgrade, i think one thing is clear that we've been downgraded in the eyes of the world. this has not just happens once but twice and people look at this and say you know, this is a country we followed their leadership because we respected them. we not only love america but respect the way they do business and here we're failing ourselves and the world. >> there is a year between now and the next election and we know anything can change between,and the next minute. the great irony at the minute is what do these republicans want? defund obama care. how do you do that? win elections. the republicans thought they could gain seats at the house

and maybe get control of the senate. that would give them the votes they need. it would give them the votes they need to make significant changes. as we speak tonight, republicans that look at house seats think that prospect has now gone in reverse because of this -- >> for all these congressmen and women who ran and continue to send out newsletters and fund raising letters, send us money, we're on the fight to defund obama care, that just wasn't true. >> no. >> they knew that was not true. >> that's what is the kind of most startling thing to me about all this. when you talk to some conservative republicans who are not a member, but just conservative republicans, they say it was unfair to promise something you knew at the beginning of this fight. you could never deliver. and it was scenical because they knew they were never able to do it so you raise money off of it. ted cruz gets a great national prominence and clearly running

for the presidency but ask host republicans, they say this was never going to happen and we promised something that -- >> don't you think, gloria, when this is all over, we have a deal but no deadlines out there. those same people are going to crank up new letters -- >> of course. >> of course. >> when are these deadlines? january, february in the election year. there are some raising hundred off this and you hear from others that the tea party is giving up on the house and will start to build their list for the primary challenge. look, part of this is lack of leadership by everybody but part of this is we're watching this republican circling firing squad play out and we don't know how it will end. >> it's really mean and nasty because it's republican against republican. i mean, this is the family broken apart r, right? >> so much for regan -- >> not anymore. >> gloria, david, john, thank you very much. for more go to cnn.com.

somalia or libya is a failed state. there is no centralized leadership, there are vengeance seeking groups. that's where all the news is. right now, very question etly, harry reid the dem rat tick leader of the senate and the counter part are cutting a deal and i'm told they are likely to have it done maybe tomorrow morning and that is i think the last best hope to avoid default but can john boehner take this fractionous conscious and take a good. >> that's essentially what president obama said today it's hard to make a deal with boehner because he's in the in control of the caucus. do you believe that? >> paul, i think -- >> the democratic party you think is in worse shape -- >> long-term i do. i would rather be a republican

today. let's remember how this got started. everything was going well before republicans talked about the debt limit. $17 trillion in debt and social security and medicare headed into bankruptcy and washington sucking so much money out of it and the wonderful obama care rollout, my point, anderson, republicans are trying to change washington. >> you see long term people will remember republicans trying to change washington. >> if republicans learn principles are good for more than saying no. right now this is the worse face of the republican party. they are doing something necessary and important. look, if i have a tooth ache and a choice between going to a dentist, even a bad dentist or a theater critic, i'll probably go to the den nis. >> isn't it important to focus on obama care in this way? >> i wouldn't have chosen the particular path ted cruz has chosen. i think sen tomorrator cruz can

the difference. math is math. republicans only control one body of the house. we have a president. we have a senate. math is math. this is exactly where it was when all of this started. it was a poor strategy. >> paul -- >> let's remember who shares in the blame and that's a democratic party that is bankrupting the country and refuses to change. >> democratic party, by the way, balanced the budget and allowed republicans to squaunlder -- >> not this president, right, paul? >> the problem here is math. the number is 217 which is the number of votes you need. cnn's count and media verified says there is over 217, maybe 2 220 to keep the government running and negotiate this. you don't like obama care, i want a gun safety bill, there is a million things for this building to work on but first,

they have to keep the government open and pay bills. there is a majority to do that. speaker boehner will not let the housework it's will. that's what frustrates me. he's the speaker of the house and a constitutional offer and he has a duty. >> you say that's what he's within doing is holding onto the speaker ship and benefit the republican party. >> i don't think he's benefitting the party. i think he's being honest saying if i can't get 217 republicans only, i won't even bring it to the floor. well, that's not the way the house is supposed to work. it's supposed to be a simple majority and get that together from two majorities. wouldn't it be better to have a bipartisan -- >> not the way the senate or the president is supposed to work. this president seems happy dem monoizing republicans. politics is broken out in washington. who knew? that's -- i think there is enough blame to go around on both sides. i think speaker boehner is going to open the floor up.

there is no way this thing gets through in the near future -- >> do you believe -- >> john boehner opens up the house. >> do you believe democrats when they say look, we'll pass this, get past this -- open up the government, get past the debt showdown and then everything -- we'll talk? do you believe that? >> that's story for the past decade in washington and got us $17 trillion in debt. once there was a young senator named barack obama who voted against the debt ceiling and the argument he made is we got to stop passing the buck and debt on to our children. it's the argument republicans are making now. >> what's the difference, paul? >> he was wrong then. he should have voted to extend it. he lied to the country, shut down the government and keep veterans from getting benefits and social security recipients -- >> he lost -- >> he voted that knowing he -- it was a political -- >> i didn't defend that vote.

>> it doesn't count -- >> i'm not saying that. i think it is what it is. >> he didn't shutdown the government. >> thank you. coming up, just ahead, millions of veterans may face hardships if the shut down continues. announcement about help coming their way. a 360 exclusive next. the american dream is of a better future, a confident retirement. those dreams, there's just no way we're going to let them die. ♪ like they helped millions of others. by listening. planning. working one on one. that's what ameriprise financial does. that's what they can do with you. that's how ameriprise puts more within reach. ♪

compensation checks to veterans won't be issued november 1st if the shut down doesn't end soon. you're here to make an announcement that might provide relief to some vets, what is it? >> we're announcing, actually, today we established a 20 million dollar fund to provide emergency financial relief to wounded warriors and families, if the government shutdown continues at november 1st deadline comes and they don't get the benefits they have earned. >> that's an awesome thing, 20 million dollar fund. how would that actually work? >> well, what we're planning on doing here is we work with over 40,000 wounded warriors and family members from the conflicts, warriors that have severe injuries, burns, amputatio amputations, traumatic brain injury who rely on disability benefits and while we can't replace disability benefits, we can at least provide some means of support to pay bills, feed

their family until this government shutdown ends. we'll be cutting checks, if they don't get their check november 1, checks of $500 will go out to each family we're working with. >> it's crazy to think of our veterans, the people that served this country and sacrificed limbs and lost friends and loved ones and many cases lost lives and their families need these benefits, they are the ones that will start suffering on this particularly come november 1st. there was a rally today as i said at the memorial and said the unity is a unity we do not see here in washington. do you agree with that? >> well, what i would say is yes, i think, you know, luckily the american public stayed behind the veterans. our veterans stay behind each other. that's what we're trying to do with this financial commitment with the 20 programs that we provide them services with to empower them and certainly think we would like to see all elected

officials see that unity and fulfill that, give them benefits they earned with service and sacrifice. >> so 20 million dollar in aid, how many wounded warriors, veterans, families can you actually reach with that? >> we're going to reach almost 40,000 warriors and families. we would love to be able to reach all 3.8 million veterans that might not receive their disability checks on november 1 and we'll continue to advocate for the federal government to do their part and come together and ensure they receive benefits but we can reach those 40,000 families that we've been working with and supporting in their transition home. >> appreciate you being on tonight. it's an awesome thing you're doing. appreciate making that announcement tonight. thank you. stephanie has a 360 news and business bulletin, stephanie? >> anderson, the alleged al

earlier we showed a montage showing how much they said there was and wasn't a deal. let's check in with dana bash. what is new since we last spoke at the top of the hour? >> what is new is we do not expect the senate leaders to announce a deal tonight but not because a deal isn't done. in fact, a senior democratic source says to get it done they will give in on an issue they are hoping for, the constituents wanted to delay an employee fee, with regard to members of the unions. democrats are ready to back off on that to get the deal with the republican leader. we expect it to be announced as early as tomorrow morning, formally. probablyre
