jon: we begin request the fox news alert. you're looking live at the senate floor. senator marco rubio taking part in senator ted cruz's continued non-filibuster filibuster. >> narrow the number of doctors and providers. the chances are you will not be able to go to the same doctor and hospital you were before. work that out. let's say you're chronically ill

or child has asthma or chronic condition. say you have four healthy kids. jon: senator rubio helping his fellow republican, senator ted cruz from texas started talking 20 hours ago on the senate floor. his mission? voice his see hands to defund obamacare with some help. senator cruz expected to continue to hold the floor until noon when a new day is gaveled in on the senate. sparks could fly. stand by for that. we'll have it for you when the noon hour rolls around just an hour from now. but first, some brand new stories into fox. jenna: police in a desperate search for a university of minnesota student who was last seen with an accused killer. we'll tell you the story on that. plus, tv doctor drew pinsky revealing a serious health care. he wants to spread awareness of his disease. high seas action in the america's cup. the catamarans getting ready for today's final and defending

champions, oracle team usa is looking to win. it may not all be smooth sailing, jon, pun intended there, fyi. >> usa. jenna: we'll watch that for you. it is all "happening now." jenna: let's go back to the our top story out of washington, d.c. today, as senator ted cruz continues to rail against obamacare, 20 hours and counting. welcome to the show, everybody. great to have you. makes our measely two hours look like nothing at this point, jon. jon: he is still going strong although at the podium a little moment ago hes has a little help from one of the republicans marco rubio. jenna: that's true. jon: jon: senator cruz and other conservative republicans are trying to delay a must-pass spending bill but as they continue to speak on the senate floor they're virtually sure to lose test vote on spending legislation that would defund portions of the health care act. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill.

mike, i guess you have not been up all night with senator cruz. how has he managed to keep talking all this time? >> reporter: jon, recently he was talking about some of the heroic efforts of our founding fathers. as you saw he is joined by some of his senate colleagues including florida senator marco rubio who made the case that all republicans want to defund obamacare but the debate is over the tactics. then there is this reference to "star wars", rebel fighters taking on the empire, in this case, washington, d.c. >> immediately on hearing that phrase, i wondered if at some point we were going to see a tall gentleman in a mechanical breathing apparatus come forward and say in a deep voice, "mike lee, i am your father." this is a fight. to restore freedom to the people. this is a fight to get the washington establishment, the

empire, to listen to the people. >> reporter: senator cruz loosened his tie a couple hours ago but he is still on his feet at this hour, making his case against obamacare, jon? jon: so we have heard, obviously from senator cruz and many of his fellow republicans. what are the democrats saying about this senate floor marathon? jon: among the more interesting moments were several democrats have actually joined him on the floor over the course of last night and into this morning. at one point there was this comment about the risks of delaying funding the government. >> we need to come together on a bipartisan basis. a filibuster, a delay, long speeches, may gets the attention of the media for a few minutes, but it won't solve america's problems. >> reporter: to be clear to folks who have not been watching, cruz's marathon on the senate floor will not delay the senate from acting. we're expecting a initial vote on this bill, the continuing to fund the government about two

hours from now. jon? jon: mike emanuel, a lot of fireworks yet to come today. keep an eye out for us. >> reporter: thank you. jenna: what comes next after the dart straighter reference, that is the big question? what tops that? jon: pretty good impersonation there. jenna: senator cruz is taking on the mainstream media with his marathon effort that the public would be better served on focusing on serious issues rather than personal attacks. >> i like everybody on member of this body am a flawed human being, a man much many imperfect shuns. a reporter wants to write on these imperfections there is no shortage of material but as long as they're writing on those they're not talking about the ideas. as long as they're writing about the personalities, they're not talking about the american people that are suffering. as long as they're writing about the personalities, about the politics and the back and forth and game playing and insults and all of the nonsense, they are

not talking about the millions of americans who are desperate for greater opportunity, desperate for a job, desperate to work to provide for their families. desperate to hold on to their health insurance. we read letter after letter after letter of real people, real live people, who are losing their health insurance. jenna: well as the senator continues to speak on the senate floor, here are some other key concerns about obamacare according to the critics. employees may end up working fewers hours. many of these insurance exchanges offer limited plans with fewer options. there are warnings about the potential for fraud and abuse a big concern and some folks are worried about the security of our private information. that said, the obama administration continues to say that more people will have access to health care, at more affordable rates. jon: so our next guest, alaska senator mark begich, finds himself in a tough position as the senate gets closer to vote. he is a democrat in red state

facing re-election next year and vote against defunding obamacare could hurt him politically. senator mark begich, democrat from alaska, joins us now. senator, we were talking a moment ago how senate republicans see senator ted cruz's marathon speech on the senate floor. how do you see it? >> he is very passionate about his views and issues, no question about it. as i looked into it last night and this morning and every senator has their views on certain issues. he obviously has one here. the fact is we have to move forward. we have to deal with the budget. as you know, the budget will run out come next monday and we have to deal with the continuing resolution to keep this government moving forward and making sure that all those things he talked about, job opportunities, as he just said, and making sure people can see the future, we have to make sure the budget is dealt with. he is passionate. i give him a lost credit for that but at the end of the day i think you all and many other pundits, talked about the vote that comes up at 1:00, we will

move forward because we have to do the continuing resolution. honestly we can't keep doing these start and stops on the budgets. i met a group of economist this is morning and this and figuring out how to pay our bills in the sense of the debt limit, these are all issues the markets, the economy, the business people are watching very carefully and we have to get our act together an get on with the show of running this government because that is what people are expecting and that's what i hear back home. they're very frustrated with washington how we respond to issues. they want to see us get some things done, move forward. jon: move forward. say with obamacare. do the folks back home in alaska, do they want to see it implemented in the way that the president, you know has so far put it forward. p? >> i will tell you on obamacare i suggested solutions making fixes. a lot of people recognize it's a large piece of legislation. there are some areas we need to work on and fix. 30 hour week i suggested ideas, pushing off business extension for a little while.

increasing tax incentives for small business. i think we need to focus on those issues. today it was announced for example, a family of four in alaska, making $50,000 or less, based on all the program, subsidy they will pay zero or young person at 27, making $25,000 a year basically, a person in the service sector, they will pay less than $50 every single month. so when you, when you think about this those are the issues, we have some issues with it. we said it. the medical tax, device tax. i voted to get rid of that. i don't like the cadillac tax but he have to move on. get this economy moving. if i hear one thing back in alaska, the number one subject matter i hear about, jobs, jobs, jobs. that is what people want to hear about, what we're doing. what things we're doing to make sure, for example the roads are built, infrastructure are built. schools are taken care of. that is what people tell me back in alaska. jon: no doubt you heard criticism of implementation of obamacare is hurting employment prospects because it encourages

employers to hire part-time people. >> well i would not necessarily agree with you on that. for example, it hasn't been implemented fully until next week. so what you're hear something people who aren't sure what is going to happen. what i can tell a store in anchorage, or "juno" or out in -- juneau, or rural alaska or worker making $25,000 less or 27-year-old, all you have to do is maybe pay 40, $50 a month, that is pretty reasonable cost for insurance program. but let me make it very clear here, one of the things we're working on is trying to make sure the small business community has opportunity. most small business people, and i'm one of the few in the senate that has come from the small business community, built my own businesses, one thing we like to make sure we keep our employees and the way you do that is good benefits. if we have more flexibility, lower cost to do that we should do that but the real question here is, and let me make it very clear we have not been able to move forward making sure the federal government moves forward

on budget. we have only four or five days left. this is ridiculous. the market already responded in a negative way and what they're watching congress do. i get there are people who are passionate about this issue, let's figure out how to fix it. quit complaining let's move forward. on the flip side we have to move this budget forward. it is ridiculous for us, if i was, let me tell you, as mayor, when i was mayor of anchorage, if i was doing where we had budget for every month and stop and go, i would have been recalled and kicked out of office. that is outrageous way to do the business. should get the budget as the number one priority. jon: as you well know, there were several years, this began before you joined the senate there was several years, senator reid, your party leader didn't put forward a budget. >> you're right. i wasn't here. you know what? every year we should. i support ad balanced budget amendment. this budget that came forward this year i didn't support, had too much in taxes over a troll dollars in new taxes but we should have a budget. if you think about last three

years, we didn't have a budget. now we have a budget j house has a budget. we can't get people to sit down from both house majority and minority as well as senate to actually debate it. why i was that? because when you have that debate it is in public. you actually have to have the discussion about what you're going to be for and what you're going to be against and american people want to see that debate. i am all for it. if they want a budget discussion right now, right today, get on it i will be right there with them but no one wants to do them because they're using procedural motions to delay it. people can complain about a budget for not last three years but now one has been passed, both sides. so let's get on wit. do a budget. make sure this government is running because we have to create certainty to the private sector. they are watching what we're doing every day and that's why there is less investment and people, you watch the market today, there is a bump in the road in the last few days. jon: i think certainty would be a welcome thing out of washington. >> absolutely. in many ways.

jon: senator mark begich from alaska. thank you. >> thank you very much. jenna: we'll continue to watch what is happening on the floor. 220 hours plus. we'll see where it goes. the search is on for a missing college student. she vanished after seen with a i accused killer. we'll have more on this missing woman coming up. here on the what he had 20 say that has some diplomats very confused and others question where this is all going from here. we'll tackle that question and more coming up after this break. clay.

now investigators say they will begin the search for the killers again. police asking for help finding anna ray shunk. investigators say the university of minnesota teen went missing after her ex-boyfriend got into a fight with her current one. police say they shot and killed him and the ex-boyfriend is under arrest but anna ray is not been seen since. the fbi will hold a news conference in the next few hours on the shooting in the washington navy yard. 12 people were killed by gunman aaron alexis. jenna: iran giving mixed messages in the speech at the u.n. yesterday. the first time we've heard from him, hughes hassan rouhani, calling america exceptional for guesting involved in the outside world while at the same time condemning us and u.n. and sanctions on the country over its nuclear program which he maintains is only for peaceful purposes and those sanctions are causing pain for his people.

>> translator: these sanctions are violent, pure and simple. whether called smart or otherwise, unilateral or multilateral, these sanctions violate inalienable human rights, the right to the peace, right to the development, right to access to health and education and above all, the right to life. jenna: so what about those sanctions that we're imposing on iran? what is actually happening with them? we have the executive director of the foundation for defense of democracies. and head of the iran energy program as well. knows a whole lot about sanctions which is why he is the person to talk to about this. mark, what is the reality? we don't have access to travel to iran to see what the average iranian is experiencing with these sanctions. what are they doing to iran? >> hi, jenna. the sanctions are certainly hurting the iranian economy. their inflation is up and unemployment is up and iranian oil revenue is down. so it is clear that the iranian

regime is facing pretty serious economic difficulties but here is something most people don't know. the iranian regime has $80 billion sitting in overseas bank accounts it can use to buy food and medicine and other humanitarian goods without any restrictions. it is actually not spending that money. somebody should ask president rouhani why he is not spending billions of dollars in unrestricted fund to buy food and he had medicine for his people. jenna: if that is the case is the sanctions being effective in stopping the pursuit of nuclear weapons? >> they haven't certainly slowed down iran's nuclear program but have been very successful getting iran to the table and take these sanctions very seriously. there is no doubt that president rouhani and supreme leader khomeni would be at the table but for sanctions. sanctions are hurting the economy and putting the regime's survival at some risk. that is why they want to negotiate. that's why they're there. jenna: where do we go from here then, mark? we understand there able big meeting tomorrow between secretary kerry and his

counterpart and his iranian counterpart. we just talked to congressman royce yesterday to passed another round of sanctions in the house but it is stuck in the senate. where is there to go? where should we be going to keep pressure on iran? >> the most important meeting that's going to occur this week is not tomorrow or thursday. it is actually friday, when the iaea, the international atomic energy agency and sits down with iran and asks iran and mr. rouhani to come clean about the past nuclear activities. if it does not admit it is engaged in mendacious cheating for decades building nuclear weapons, we need to move forward with punishing sanctions that send a message to this regime and this supreme leader that he will lose his regime unless he compromisings on his nuclear program. jenna: i only have 30 seconds mark, but how long do we continue down the sanctions path before it buying time for the

regime to build nuclear weapons? >> we have to make a decision very soon whether there is negotiated agreement to be had or not because in less than 10 months, by june 2014 iran will be at the point where they will be able to break out to a nuclear weapon without being detected by the international atomic energy agency or western intelligence. they will being undetectable breakout, which means at that point could break out to a bomb at a time of their choosing, or, they could flip the leverage on the international community, negotiate for massive sanctions relief and oil flowing, economy stablized. when they decide they want to, they can have a bomb and powerful economy at the same time. that will be deadly for american national security. we have very little time to stop them. jenna: interesting to note that, that timeline. that mean by the u.n. meeting this year we would be in such a different place. mark, always great to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you, jenna. jon: our nation's strength on the global stage being called into question these days, about half of all americans disapprove of the president's foreign policies.

and after his speech to the u.n. yesterday, well, new questions. coming up, is the u.s. ceding to much power to the u.n.? ambassador john bolton is here. he joins us next. goodnight. thanks, olivia. thank you. so you can make a payment from your cell to almost anyone's phone or email. (speaking french) so you can express your gratitude... in the moment. chase quickpay. so you can.

growing over the evolution of the so-called obama doctrine and what it means for our nation's status as a global superpower. president obama speaking on the world stage yesterday, once again signaling a shift in the foreign policy strategy and raising this question. is america giving too much power to the united nations? ambassador john bolton is a former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., senior fellow at the american enterprise institute, and a fox news contributor. we talk about the obama doctrine. can you define it? >> no, and what's worse, neither can he. i think it's a very confused series of priorities that are

shifting all the time but i do think there is a key point here in obama's assessment of the u.s. role in the world. up until his administration, every president believed that america was a benign influence, that our strength led to what measure of peace and security and stability there is in the world, and that american flexibility in our series of alliances around the world contributed to that. i don't think obama really believes that american strength is positive. i think he is thinks that our very strong presence in the world is actually causes some of the problems and that is withdrawn, less powerful america will mean a more peaceful world and more influence for the united nations. i think that is like looking through the wrong end of the telescope but that is what i think he believes. jon: "the new york times" took a look at the foreign policy achievements of the obama administration yesterday and noted some of the contradictions. the fact that the president surged forces into afghanistan, then pulled back. went into libya, sort of briefly, then pulled back.

took a look at the syrian situation and was originally going to launch cruise missiles and then pulled back. what does this say to friend and adversaries? >> right, one could go on the list could be longer on hosni mubarak in egypt, in 30-day period 2 1/2 years ago the white house had four separate positions should mubarak stay or should he go and what that flip-flopping, that indesigh sieveness, that vacillation sends to both adversaries aligning that the united states is not a steadfast, resolution, trustworthy partner and that when the united states says something you can't guaranty it. instead you have obama chasing around, looking for negotiations with north korea, with iran, with others and people wonder exactly what we think our own national interests is. jon: what dot iranians think? here is what the "new york post" put on its cover today. persian mug suggesting that the new iranian president had three opportunities to meet ours yesterday and snubbed him each

time. >> there are a probably a number of reince for that, but i think one is, he was showing it is obama who is needy, is the won who wants a meeting and he doesn't have time for it. the great satan, the great superpower, can't even get a handshake that obama said he wanted in his 2009 inaugural address. jon: right. because he campaigned on the fact that we should sit down with the iranians, we should talk to them and that everything would be much better. >> the only thing that surprises me it has taken iran four 1/2 years to agree to sit down because these negotiations will only benefit iran. it will drag things out. it will buy them more time for their nuclear weapons program. and it will undoubtedly lead to the easing of sanctions. jon: the president said it will not happen on his watch. that iran will not develop the bomb while he is in office. >> worst part of that is that many americans don't believe that he is serious about that. the israelis don't believe he is serious bit. worst of awe, the iranians don't

believe it either. jon: according to the latest "new york times"/"cbs poll," 49% of the americans no dot like the foreign policy direction of this administration. >> just surprising me the figure is not a lot higher. if people paid attention to it would be. jon: it is up 10 points in the last month or so. ambassador john bolton. thank you. >> thank you, jon. jenna: well-known tv doctor is back at work after potentially life-saving surgery. find out why dr. drew pinsky went under the knife. senator ted cruz can't stop talking. he take as break. he can't leave the floor, otherwise he loses his right to speak. he wants to maintain that he is nearly at the 21 hour mark. we'll ask wyoming republican senator, john barosso if ted cruz's tactics are working. the senator is up next. what's important to you? at humana, our medicare agents sit down with you and ask. hanging out with this guy. he's just the love of my life.

personal stories from people like you jon: new information on the investigation into one of the big stories of the week. the deadly terror attack at a mall in kenya. government authorities saying that they are ruling out the possibility that americans were other western jihadist are among the terrorists. that includes a radicalized british woman nicknamed the white widow. a large part of the building collapsed. the death toll currently stands

at 67, but that number is expected to rise. we will talk with a retired navy captain and national security adviser to vice president dick cheney in just a few minutes. jenna: senator ted ted cruz ending his epic speech. overall, he hasn't left the floor. it the marathon is not considered a filibuster, but the plan is to give the american people some time to think or rethink their view on the new health care law. where are we now in all of this? between the government shutdown and everything else. joining me now is republican senator doctor jon barrasso. senator, always great to have you on the program. >> thank you. jenna: you did join him for the 21 our period. would he think of his action so

far? >> i think it's terrific. i spoke about health care law yesterday morning. it continues to be unworkable and unaffordable and very unpopular. with the exchanges opening up next tuesday, just sticks in transit stays away, they say that you should expect trouble, there are problems and they won't be able to go to their doctor or use the care that they want. jenna: so the plan is the funding of the government and the descending of a new health care law. do you think of that strategy? >> i think that we should keep the government open. i continue to be fully opposed to the health care law. i will not vote to fund the health care law.

even if you defend the health care law, 20 taxes are in place, 16 are being collected right now. we need to replace it with patient centered care that allows people to find what they wanted in the beginning of health care, which was affordable and quality care, and they are not getting it under the obamacare law's. jenna: we have talked about that quite a few times. so how does this all play out. we understand that that would be what you would like to happen, that we would start over. but realistically, how dc the next few weeks playing out? >> realistically i think that we ought to force the effort to delay this individual mandate for at least a year, just as the president decided to delay the employer mandate. i think that we hope that the

health care is an important component as well and i hope we a combo sets could you talk a little bit about that. the individual mandate, how would that work? you would vote against or for its? it goes back to the house, how do you see it? what he think is a strategy and how will that actually come to fruition? >> that would involve the bill on the senate floor back to the house, adding in what is bipartisan support of a delay of a year, the mandate in the health care law. i think it is very important to give the american people that the president decided to unilaterally give to others. so many waivers of business,

everybody seems to have gotten a special waiver except for the american people. hard-working american families who are just trying to get up every morning and put food on the table. i think the president has forgot them to get this law passed named after himself. jenna: have you spoken with the democrat colleagues? you think you have that vote to delay the vote for a year? >> a measure passed with significant bipartisan support, dozens of taxes with a spending bill come i think we should be able to get that through. jenna: what we do, shake their

hand, give them a high five? >> i will likely have lunch with him today if he says he's still awake. but he's done a wonderful job of focusing the nation on the health care speech. speech it's been such an interesting 20 plus hours. thank you so much. >> thank you. jon: on the heels of this storm in kenya, please confirm that there is an active shooting outside of the roosevelt field mall, schools are on lockdown as a precautionary measure. the suspect has not been apprehended yet. we don't have any word on injuries or victims. again, we stress that this is outside the mall, nassau county police are taking the lead us

these pictures coming from the wnyw chopper. a mall on long island. we'll bring it to you live. and in the meantime, terrorists killed at least 67 people inside that shopping mall in kenya. the number is expected to grow. we will take a look at the growing threats behind this attack. also an update on the final of the america's cup. a race filled with drama and intrigue and lots of surprises. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals:

help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company.

i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, whe experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger. ♪ now you can give yourself a kick in the rear! v8 v-fusion plus energy. natural energy from green tea plus fruits and veggies. need a little kick? ooh! could've had a v8. in the juice aisle.

jon: we have a little bit of information, a little bit more information on what is going on on new york's long island. the roosevelt field mall is on lockdown because of a shooting that happened outside of the mall. apparently it was not necessarily even on mall property. it happened at 645 south street. a man described as asian shot two people and then fled. possibly a honda pilot. he was driving a honda pilot. wearing a red shirt and a gregorie brown suit jacket. it did not happen inside the mall, but the mall is on lockdown out of caution. no information about the two victims that were shot. we will continue to stay on top of this. the shooter is very much on the loose. jenna: in regards to that news, the deadly mall attack also in

kenya. a lot of attention on al-shabaab, the terrorist group linked to al qaeda. we are continuing to see all sorts of propaganda. even as forces continue to work their way through to secure the area. captain bob wells, retired navy captain, security adviser to dick cheney joins us now. here we have these stories come and not necessarily that they are related, but we are going to talk about it. >> our network spoke with the federal, state, local and law-enforcement efforts and i think one of the more important forensic investigations occurring in kenya with the fbi in cooperation with the kenyan

government was that we will know more about al-shabaab and why this particular location was planned. one of the most important things that they can do is really look at this current situation and realize that al-shabaab is dangerous, associated movements that are part of the larger al qaeda plan. that should be a serious concern and disrupt and defeat this. jenna: they are actually doing an interview with the associated press. in this exchange of e-mails, al-shabaab says that the jihadis carried out in meticulous betting process. they also said that foreigners were a legitimate target and confirmed that they should let

the muslims go. that is not necessarily central to the conversation over the last few days. that is their ideology, it is essential to everyone, and what we do to those that disrupted the network? >> we need to be very realistic. i think also it is important to note that just as last week, they issued a new thing and they have adopted many of these particular modalities in the methodology. that is an important consideration and i think that is important is for us to really consider. jenna: going back to your first point at the network.

who they are listening to, how their purpose is global rather than local. we need to increase our networks, how do we do that specifically during a time when there is the sequestration and budget concerns, how do we prioritize? >> we really need to invest in law enforcement and homeland security efforts and also take advantage of what is here and there's quite a few of the really good simile folks that have come over after 20 years of civil war. good people, hard-working people. we have a concern with regard to the youth, not only here but in somalia as well. having a dialogue, having a conversation with smalley is going to give us better information with regard to determining if there is a threat. this is an awakening for

terrorism and global jihad. there are things that are different than they were in 2001. internet is facilitating communication, we need to reduce the risk in the areas of recruiting, financing, and what the leaders of our communities are telling us more clearly making sure that the national counterterrorism center is the best information possible so that we inform law enforcement and keep the communication open so that we can try to detect these and predict these particular areas and come up with risk mitigation strategies in our own civil society. jenna: sir, it is so great to have you on the program. thank you so much. >> thank you. jon: we are keeping our eye on what is going on in new york's long island. live pictures outside the roosevelt field mall which we are told is on lockdown because the shooting happened outside the mall. actually at a business nearby. police are looking for a 6-foot

2-inch asian male wearing a brown shirt who is believed to have walked into a business, shot two people, and fled in a white suv area no word on the condition of those who were shot and we will continue to keep our eye on this story. back in a moment with more "happening now" is.

jon: new information. postal workers in five major american cities taking part in a new program. rick leventhal is alive in philadelphia with more on that. >> this station was buzzing with

letter carriers sorting and hauling off today's mail. if there was a bioterror attack, some of those workers would come racing back here, including bob schneider, a 28 year veteran that is one of some 600 volunteers in this area to put on protective gear, grab a load of antibiotics and take to the streets with a police escort delivering medicine to every single resident within 48 hours of a bioterror incident. the postal plan initiative is one in cooperation with health and human services in five major cities including san diego, and minneapolis and st. paul. >> i live here, again, this is my home. and i don't want to see anything happen to anyone. so if we can prevent a tragedy and call for people and save their lives, then i am in.

the majority leader, harry reid, bringing an end to the unofficial filibuster of ted cruz. let's take a listen now to what is going on on the senate floor. >> i simply want to note to the american people that are so engaged that this debate is in your hands. ultimately all 100 senators, all 46 republicans. all 54 democrats. please, the american people, i tell you, in texas, the frustration that the united states senate doesn't listen to the people is definite. i would call on all 46 republicans to unite and to stand together and vote against cloture on the bill on friday or saturday. because otherwise, if we vote with the majority leader and

with the senate democrats, we will be voting to allow the majority leader to fund obamacare on a straight partyline vote, a 51 partisan vote. american people understand that. and in boating, it is not consistent what i believe is the heartfelt commitment of all 46 members of this conference to oppose obamacare. the only path is to stand together and oppose cloture. i would ask my friends in the democratic aisle to listen. >> noone has arrived. pursuant to the order. the senate will be in order. [applause] >> the center entrance senate will be in order. twelve noon has now arrived and the senator has been in continuous session since yesterday. the senate will suspend for a prayer from the chaplain.

jon: that ends, apparently, senator ted cruz is non-filibuster, filibuster. he and his allies took to the floor for 21 plus hours to prevent the senate from moving forward on a spending bill that excludes its provision to the fund obamacare. he blasted the president's signature piece of domestic legislation during that 21 hours. even questioning why is the white house thought it was terrific, why it decided to delay a key part of it, the employer mandate. >> mr. president, if the representation that so many members of this body make to the american people are true, that obamacare is terrific and his wonderful, then i would think that the president would be eager to have it kick in before the election. if it were a good thing, you

would want the good stuff to happen before the election and not after the election. the fact that it was moved for big businesses is an indication of just how badly this law is feeling. jon: but the 21 plus hours of political theater not without too lighter moments with senator cruz bringing up dr. seuss and star wars. >> i do not like greek eggs and ham, i do not like them, dam i am. >> they said rednecked rule number one, "most things can be fixed with duct tape and extension cords.." that is actually very true. >> the camel's hair brush is made of squirrel her. i was wondering if he would say, like me, i am your father.

i think the senator from kansas, and i will tell you that i am doing fabulous. jon: it was not all fun and games with him going after members of his own party, slamming republican leadership. >> this is the first time that i have seen one republican leadership is actually within the republican conference to support harry reid and give him the power to enact his agenda. i've never seen him before. and that -- that, i am quite confident that when each republican goes back to his or her own state, it's not what our constituents expect of us. i am also quite confident that if and when we return home and stand in front of our constituents, if we are asked, senator, why did you vote yes on

cloture to give harry reid the power to fund obamacare and two that the revolution, none of us, we have a different box. any republican who casts a vote for cloture is saying, yes, i want harry reid to have the power to do that. and then i will vote against it once it no longer matters and it's a free and symbolic vote. jon: those are some of the highlights that you might have missed in the 21 hours of discussion there on the floor. joining us now is juan williams. fox news political analyst and juan peron as well. and a fox news contributor. michael, you have seen a lot of things. what do you think about what senator ted cruz is now ending 21 hours of a non-filibuster filibuster? >> he is urging a vote against immediate consideration of a bill he claims to support. he is a little bit tying himself

up in knots. he certainly is antagonizing a lot of his fellow republicans, not just in the house and senate, but in the house as well. by calling him a surrender caucus on one hand. i think that you can criticize ted cruz for attempting a futile gesture. the congress is not going to pass in the president is not going to sign a defunding of obamacare. this is to some extent peter. i think the critics that say that if there is a government shutdown, republicans will be blamed for it, they have something of a point. but at least in this 21 hour segment you had cruise talking about obamacare, an issue that hurts democrats and helps republicans. the polling suggests that a shutdown is not likely to be as disastrous for republicans, that it will probably hurt both congressional republicans and president obama as happened in august of 2011.

jon: he got the leadership of both parties angry at him. harry reid just said it's a big waste of time. and i'm not sure that we learned anything new. you also have senator cornyn, the number two republican in the senate, and his fellow texas republican says that they are going to support cloture, which is something that senator cruz does not want to do. >> a good word for senator ted cruz is that he has reinvented american politics in this moment, certainly senate politics. he rose from the top of the pile here in terms of national profile with this effort. but he is really, i think, yes put a lot of those senior republicans on notice that they are on the defensive here and that ted cruz is on the offense. he feels that he is raising money exposing grassroots.

it doesn't work in the washington political terms. it violates the traditions of the senate. there is no positive outcome in defeating obamacare and it hurts the republican name going into the next elections. but in terms of his presidential ambitions, i think that the stock has gone up. jon: do you agree that this hurts the republican ran? >> well, i think all of the polling on that shows that legislation is and continues to be unpopular. talking about that helps republicans. if you put in the posture of threatening the shutdown of the government, that is a negative posture for the party as well. republicans can be portrayed as hardhearted people who don't care about helping people and allowing the government to shut down. but the pew poll suggests that that damage would not be huge.

39% said they would blame congressional republicans, 36% say that they blame the president and that is a little extraordinary. usually individuals pull off better than groups. especially groups widely detested by congressional republicans. but it does say that there is some negatives for the republicans doing this. it's the one that says pay for everything, but just don't pay for obamacare. >> well, according to the polls, even the people that don't like obamacare, it's almost like 60% of americans say that this doesn't make sense to shut down the government over obamacare. at this point, they say it's going to happen. jon: they are saying keep the government open but don't pay for obamacare. >> that's right. he's right about the polling on

that. most people support delaying obamacare and 92% support eliminating the special treatment with the obama administration, what they are giving congressional members of congress and congressional staff. republicans don't have enough republican votes to bring that up again. a lot of people want to protect themselves through and gentlemen, we have to say goodbye since we can go on for 21 hours like senator ted cruz. but we thank you so much. the 21 plus our speech is not even enough to crack the top 10 of the senate all nighters. the longest one clocked in at more than 125 hours. back in 1960, regarding civil rights. nearly three decades later, the election campaign sparked another marathon, 57 plus hours, beating out the all nighter that started it all back in 1915 on the ship purchase act. recently 2003, lawmakers talked

about judicial nominations and rounding out the top-five top five marathon speeches in the senate, one in 1954 on the atomic energy bill. jenna: 21 hours seems impressive stream of pretty impressive. we will continue to watch this as this continues. in the meantime, turning to the terror attack in kenya. they are now searching the horrific crime scene. the president announcing that the terrorists are declaring three days of national mourning starting today. we did get reports of gunshots in the mall and that they were apparently coming from this morning. whether that is part of the clearing process or what exactly is going on, it is still a little bit of a question. some say it was from kenyan forces firing protectively. in the meantime, we are hearing incredible new stories from survivors of the horrific attack.

>> they let me go, they said that we will not do anything in this way. >> it sounds like you had an incredibly lucky escape. >> yes, i was the first person. >> you look shocked. >> yes, this is something we wouldn't expect to see. jenna: what an experience. terrorists killing at least 51 people and six security officers in the four-day speech. the death toll expected to rise. the fbi is assisting in the investigation. more on this investigating story just ahead. the new iranian president's meeting with our president at the u.n. this week. well, it never happened. so what did hasan rouhani

and because usaa's commitment to serve military members, veterans, and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve. speaking of congress moving closer to a government shutdown by now. a house bill that would keep the lights on, but strip running for obamacare, we are going to do a little bit of ping-pong between the chambers and see if we can figure this out. all of this is happening as the nation's debt soars near the 17 million mark. october forced woodhead, and for example, social security checks and medicare payments, unemployment benefits, those will continue. if you are a lawmaker, and you

may have to decide who to keep at home. but you will get paid for the most part. if you're in the military, serving on the battlefield, your check may be delayed, which is -- these are the facts. if you're in the military, you may not. neil cavuto is the host of your world with neil cavuto and he is down in capitol hill. when we take a look at the last two years in general, including the financial crisis, it sometimes is difficult to understand what we should really fear and how big of a deal is this government shutdown. how would you describe that for our viewers? >> it depends a lot of times on how it lasts and what the fallout will be. essential versus nonessential personnel, sometimes it is a double edge sword. and i guess that is the first thing you have to settle on. then they need to get an idea of

how long it would go. that raises the risk of default or insolvency. that happens when we can't make a social security payment, a medicaid payment, and the government obligation which is distributed or it simply can't be passed. that would be an incident of a default, something this country has never done. something that we came close to doing a couple of years back, the ratings agency lowered our aaa rating. but you could argue that we are hardly worth the aaa rating now. and so i think that that could be debated. as you mention, mentioned, also this ping-pong between the house and the senate, they are sending it right back to the house just on the eve of the october 1, deadline. telling the house, what are you going to do. we have taken that out of this insane day on a to talk that

they found a middle ground that calls for funding different aspects. and it may be that you don't to fund health care but you delay the provision. the individual mandate comes to mind. even though the white house put out a statement that that is a nonnegotiable point. there have been many non-negotiable points that have been nonnegotiable. jenna: maybe they should put a ping-pong table right there behind you. they could figured out that way. it sounds a little bit easier. looking at the markets, they seem relatively calm today. debt ceiling debates are really on the rise. explain why that could be an even bigger deal than what we are seeing in the immediate future. >> yes, that is a bigger deal because the debt ceiling cuts to the core about whether we can operate the government itself. if you don't extend the debt ceiling, the argument is that you can't keep the government

functioning. he thinks that will happen on or around october 17. be it republican or democrat administration, they have always cry panic and attacked this. it is the data that we sort of run out. we run out of the dough. they can play chess pieces, saying just like you and i would do, pay the mortgage first, maybe slide on the utilities bill or juggle for a wild. you can do that in our government and the way we operate for months. but it's clear that we are kind of running out of wiggle room here. that's the one to watch. whatever date you want to buy, that is when that kind of, you know, is the main concern. what i am hearing is that that is the one where they may have a better shot at delaying

obamacare with health care law for another year if they raise the debt ceiling. the president says if you raiset necessarily increase the debt. but just ask visa or mastercard, they fully expect you to take advantage of that so obviously if we do that, we are setting the stage for that. but they would might do that to delay or keep provisions out there, which might be a little bit dicier and then move on and raise our debt limit so that we can sort of stumble along for another few months. jenna: thank you so much. you have a lot of big guests on your show today and we look forward to that. we appreciate you joining us early. jenna: he will be broadcasting from that position and you never know where he can pop up. a lot of big guests, you can see them on your screen. you have rand paul, mark warner,

john mccain. big all-star cast coming up today at 4:00 p.m. eastern time and a p.m. eastern time on the fox business network. jon: a chilling development to tell you about. by the number of u.s. weapons may have fallen into the wrong hands. the same kind of bad guys who attacked our consulate and the worry about that is much greater than what we thought. a fox news exclusive report. and a nationwide manhunt for a suspect in the stabbing death of his mom and little brother. just a day after he celebrated his 16th birthday with them. what police are saying now.

jon: is exclusive new details emerging now. it left an ambassador and three americans dead last year. galicia groups, more were involved than originally thought. adam housley is live from los angeles with information on a. reporter: it is much worse and we previously reported in thought. a few weeks ago we had exclusive information about weapons that were stolen during overnight raids that helped lead to this u.s. team pulled from libya. the department of defense have gone after the attacks to fight terrorism with their own special forces being trained by our own special forces. overnight raids resulted in some equipment being stolen. now we have been told that it is much worse than we originally thought. twenty-three vehicles, they are

basically armored humvees, specialized vehicles for war fighting. we have several hundred miles, along with hundreds of weapons, including m4 rifles as well as clocks. what some believe is the biggest of all for the people that got these weapons, two different types of night vision technology. one of the technologies of night vision that a lot of militaries would have around the globe and the other one is a much greater capability that is visible not only at night, but during the day, it has a beam that can illuminate an entire target on a car. it is very much falling into the hands of them brotherhood, one has significant amount of weaponry as well. what you saw there was not from libya. that there is still significant problems with the security situation in libya and that these weapons to train them and

help battle terrorism is not actually the hands of the people who we are trying to find an battle. this goes on as there have still been no arrests of anyone involved in the benghazi attack. i was told by one diplomat that things may be in motion right now but it is taking more than a year before anything could be done. burks was a report said significant information about the attacks was given on two different occasions. the first last november and again in january. basically handed, as we were told, on a silver platter. the authorities here in the u.s. and nothing has been done. a lot of information coming in, but it seems that we still have problems with the way we are handling bolivian situation. they have been mostly talking about those allies that could do us and our allies harm.

jon: it is very unlikely that we'll ever get that equipment back. adam housley, thank you. jenna: dramatic new details emerging from the country's president in kenya. and also the handshake that never apparently happened. diplomacy does seem to be alive, well our president and the new president of iran ever meet? should they? can a deal be reached? we will go in-depth coming up next.

jon: some new information now on the deadly terror attack at an upscale mall in nairobi, kenya. the u.s. is joining a internag effort to investigate the four-day siege that left at least 67 innocent people dead. that number expected to go much higher. the african nation is beginning to recover from the deadliest terror attack sips the bombing of the u.s. embassy there in 1998. leland vittert is keeping an eye on it live from the middle east bureau. leland? >> reporter: jon, the grimmest task ahead is try to get an exact number how many people died in this attack that will take a while because the mall has to be cleared first, room by room. even though the kenyan government says it is over and they captured or killed all the gunmen, there was sporadic weapons fire as security forces went room to room, making sure nobody was there. also trying to find booby-traps.

they said they found at least one improvised explosive device and a couple of grenades. there is a forensic team from the fbi helping them try to answer the questions who exactly were the gun men, what were their tactics? did they have any inside help? what kind of weapons did they use, all questions that need to be answered. they were working a mall for four days the sight of an epic gunbattle, huge explosions and gunfire and. the al shabaab group that carried out the attack that up to 130 hostages were killed when all the floors were collapsed or buried when all the floors were collapsed. it could be long time to dig anybody out, identify them and return to their families. meantime the kenyans are trying to get some sense of normally of the they declared three days of mourning going forward here. also remember, jon, as we learned in the united states after an attack like this things change. daily life changes. we're hearing in kenya when folks get on local buses they

are subjected to metal detector tests as al-shabaab militant group says this is just the beginning of a number of attacks there in kenya. back to you. jon: nervous times in that country. leland vitter, thank you. jenna: well, "happening now" we'll turn to another big topic and that's iran and whether or not negotiating with iran is the right thing to do. after a highly-anticipated handshake between iran's new president and president obama never happened. but the new president of iran appeared to hit the right note on peace before the u.n. general assembly according to the audience there the iran's new leader said the nuclear ambitions are strictly for peaceful purposes. >> translator: nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction have no place in iran's security and defense doctrine and contradict our fundamental religious and ethical convictions. our national interests make it imperative that we remove any

and all reasonable concerns about iran's peaceful nuclear program. jenna: so could this warmer, friend lear, saner apparing iran be real or a trap -- friendlier? bret stevens the foreign affairs columnist for "wall street journal" writes this. the while the former understand the psychology of motivation and seduction, political and otherwise, the latter are master of the arts of deceit and domination. he is our guest now? bret stevens on set with us. to be clear, bret, you're not suggesting to negotiate or deal with a tyrant you yourself need to be a tyrant, are you? >> no, but you have to wary of the sorts of things they do and you saw it perfectly illustrated by rowhani's refusal to shake obama's hand t was a snub of the first order. it was a way of saying, you,

mr. president want to try to charm me, try to persuade me, use democratic skills to win me over. i'm not even going to meet with you. it reminded me of that movie, he is just not that into you. jenna: in that sort of situation, if he just not that into you, the policy is to ignore and that very kind of funny comparison. what do we do here? >> look, what the obama administration has to understand that it's central to the ideology of the islamic republic of iran that the united states be treated always as the great satan. all of their foreign policy, their entire world view, you talk to members of the iranian leadership, the revolutionary guards corps, everything is about making the united states the enemy. so for iran to reconcile itself with the united states in any way, even a symbolic manner like a handshake, threatens the idealogical underpinnings of of the regime. if we don't understand, if we don't understand that, we will allow them to bamboozle us. jenna: some would point out, and

you've discussed this in your writing, well we named iran during the bush administration as part of the axis of evil. often times we're referring to them as the rogue regime. our enemy. so, is this, what we're doing is repeating a pattern of recent years. how do we change that pattern? >> every single american administration, carter, reagan, bush one, clinton, bush two, they all tried to reach out to iran and they consistently found that they got the clenched fist to their open hand. rouhani said iran never threatened any other country. this is extraordinary statement after guy supporting the regime, supporting as saud in syria, that carried out terrorist attacks the world over, that supports hezbollah, which killed hundreds of american soldiers, killed hundreds of american soldiers by supplying ieds to insurgents in iraq, that statement alone should tell you the way this guy operates.

when he said that iran's nuclear programs are for peaceful purposes only, he was lying. jenna: that said, is there anything that we could do in our behavior in our speech that would change the intension of the iranian regime at this point? >> well the only reason we've had any kind of conciliation from iran because we imposed fairly punitive sanctions on iran and so instead of, the american policy should be to redouble the sanctions effort and make the threat of military force that much more credible rather than to try to dial it back to show how reasonable we are. the only reason rouhani was even elected because they're under punishing sanctions. jenna: one of the things you talked about in your pies this week, the balanced idealism we find in foreign policy. i like to take the conversation bigger than politics because it seems the policy we're discussing right now is bigger than republican or democrat. boundless idealism is what many americans associate with the

american spirit. how do we maintain boundless idealism and how we operate and not be fools? >> i think there is idealism towards our policy toward iran. there are millions of iranians, you saw them in the streets of tehran and other cities in 2009 who were calling for genuine freedom. calling for end to the rule of mullahs and religious fanatics. freedom for women. rights for gay people. rights for religious minorities. those are the people that american policy should be supporting on a consistent basis in iran rather than trying to deal with and shake hands with rulers who are suppressing them. so balanced idealism means standing for rights of the iranian people against a regime that has been despotically imposed on them for 34 years. it doesn't mean trying to shake hands with despots and seek agreements of convenience will also will be fools bargains for us. jenna: interesting point you raise. interesting about the covers about rouhani and not talked

about what is happening inside iran now. always good to see you, bret. jon? jon: a nationwide manhunt for a nevada teenager suspected of killing his mother and younger brother. initially they thought he was possible victim. then they identified him as two days ago in the prime suspect of his nine-year-old brother and mother. both their bodies found last week inside the family home in a las vegas suburb. no word yet on the possible motive. police say they believe canalis acted alone. although they found his passport and other documents they alerted authorities on the mexican border fearing that he could be trying to cross into that country. jenna: a story to continue to watch. as the nation gears up for the new roleout of the health care law we're getting two different reports on the president's prime plan here, shedding new light how affordable the affordable care act is. we'll tell you about that in moment. plus a massive cleanup is

>> an update on a breaking story earlier. a shooting in suburban new york, about 26 miles outside of manhattan. we first came to this story because an entire mall was on lockdown and of course that caught our attention because of what happened in kenya just a few days ago. but what i believe you're seeing there is the scene of the shooting which is about 11 miles from the mall and the mall and the surrounding schools have been shut down because of this shooting. apparently there have been two people injured in the shooting and according to what we know now there is a manhunt for the shooter. they're trying to track him down. so that is the latest from the area. the reason why the mall and the schools are shut down because apparently, it was law enforcement continues to look for the shooter. that is the scene of the shooting, not at the mall but a few blocks away. we'll keep you posted as we hear more. jon: just into the fox newsroom

we began covering it yesterday and it ended this hour. senator ted cruz of texas ends his long speech on the senate floor in opposition to obamacare. let's listen to what the senator told our fox news producer chad pergram. >> and i believe if republicans listen to the people who will unite to vote against cloture because we do not wish to allow harry reid and democrats to talk about -- [inaudible] republicans says he or she oppose obamacare. i think the vote should be consistent with our principles of our constituents and to vote against cloture. jon: that is what the senator had to say after his 21-hour marathon. he is probably getting some rest now. but let's take a look with david asman about two very different reports just released on the president's signature piece of domestic legislation. how the affordable care act,

well will it really be affordable? david asman with fox business network is takeing a look at that david? >> senator cruz looked pretty good for standing up 24 hours, right. jon: that's a long time. >> that's a long time. well, the president and his team are in pre-spin mode. next week is when it is supposed to be rolled out. and they're talking about how cheap it will be. of course americans have seen premiums go up a lot. they're wondering whether the president is right on target in suggesting it will actually come down, costs come down. in fact the president had a specific suggestion about how cheap insurance would become. let's play the sound. >> in many states across the country, if you're, say, at 27-year-old young woman, don't have health insurance, you get on that exchange, you're going to be able to purchase high-quality health insurance for less than the cost of your cell phone bill. >> we've heard these kind of promises before, you know.

you would be able to keep your own plan. the prices were going to come down. so far we haven't seen them pan out. jon: yeah. there is disparity even by the government's own calculations it will cost you depend on the states you live in. >> states vary tremendously. for all the suggestions push pubs didn't have any plans, they had several plans one of which was carry the plan from state to state. you will not be able to do that. that is not part of the health care plan. so states vary tremendously. president obama, this new hhs plan says shows prices will become lower and looks at indiana. they look state by state. in indiana they say under the obama plan a family of four will pay $12,828 in insurance premiums. but if you go back and look at the 2010 average for the state of indian, back in 2010, three years ago, it was $14,700. how can you add all the extra

costs for insurance companies like, insuring your kid until they're 26, or the preexisting conditions and save money, cut $3,000 off of a plan from three years ago? the numbers just don't add up. jon: look at a couple states, for instance. these according to the government figures this is what it will cost you. 328, $328 a month, according to the health and human services department, 16% below projects but -- projections, but again depends which state you live in. $425 it will cost you in wyoming and minnesota, 444 bucks. how does that happen, david? >> that is up for the president to explain and so far they haven't explained. we're talking about quantity. what about the quality of health care? remember another promise of the president was you would be able too take all your plans with you. well the quality of health care varies tremendously not only from state to state but

insurance plan to insurance plan. some insurance plans don't cover certain doctors as you know if you've seen the hmo bill. some insurance plans cover certain medicines but not other medicines. what about the government plan? we're not sure how these exchanges will work that out. jon: i know my orthopedic surgeon is getting out of medicare because -- you. >> hear a lot more of that. jon: all right. david asman, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> jenna. jenna: you were talking a little bit about it. now in the history books, ted cruz's marathon speech about obamacare topping 21 hours. the impact this could have as the senate moves forward. onward with business with the government shutdown looming within days. also a massive earthquake slams a remote down and we'll look at the rescue efforts you know way right now.
