7:00 am
day, we have big news. >> potential government shutdown. logon to "fox & friends" for the after show show. >> cheers. >> have a great day. and we start with the fox alert that the clock is ticking, the deadline is closer. just 38 hours to go before the first potential government shutdown in nearly two decades. and after working overnight, congress this morning has no deal to fund the government beyond monday night at midnight, and the president continues to draw the line, saying he will not negotiate and blooming republicans for the looming shutdown. in the early morning hours on capitol hill, the house passing that temporary spending measure that keeps the government open and delaying obama care for a year, but senate democrats and the white house say it's dead on
7:01 am
arrival, so what happens now? good morning and welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm eric. >> good to be with you. it's so busy in washington today. all eyes turn now to the senate as some call on the democratic leadership to call that body back into session because they're not expected to come back until monday, but the rhetoric on capitol hill is fierce. both sides are accusing the other of refusing to budge on their demands. listen. >> how dare you presume a failure. the fact is -- the fact is this country is based on people saying they won't do things, and at the end of the day, coming together for compromise. we continue to anticipate that there's an opportunity for sensible compromise. >> i think albert einstein is right. when you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results, and we have seen the republicans threaten to shut down the government several times, we have seen them walk away from an opportunity to negotiate with inpresident and democrats, they keep doing it over and over again, and i think albert
7:02 am
einstein is right. that is the definition of insanity. >> more and more finger pointing. chief washington correspondent james rosen joins me live in washington with the latest. what do you expect today, james? >> i expect a hard to follow einstein, jamie. good afternoon to you. the argument boils down to democrats telling republicans you've got to accept obama care as settled law and help it get off the ground, and republicans responding obama care was passed on the tightest of party line votes and americans gave the party control of the house in part to fight obama care. >> i urge my colleagues to stop setting the same losing hand on our economy. enough already, let it go. now, let me tell you something. that your little stunt that you're pulling here which has no chance of becoming law -- >> if this government shuts down, it's because you have not accepted the compromise that republicans have reached out to you and offered. >> this extraordinary series of
7:03 am
midnight votes also included the house approving the repeal of a tax on medical devices. 17 democrats joined with the gop on that one. and the house voted unanimously to insure that u.s. troops will continue to be paid even if there is a government shutdown. on that vote to delay obama care by a year, two democrats crossed the aisle to agree with that. jim matheson of utah and mike mcintyre of north carolina. there were also two republicans who voted not to delay the implementation of obama care. chris gibson and richard hanna, both from upstate new york. kevin mccarty told chris wallace he thinks if the senate rejects this latest folly from the house, as senate democrats have vowed they will, enough time will remain for the house to present a new package to the senate and perhaps thereby avert a government shutdown. >> back and forth, back and forth. keep us posted. like a tennis match. u.s. government before has faced
7:04 am
nine possible shutdowns. let me give you context, all of this since the last time washington turned off the lights. there were two separate shutdowns our government sloess down between november 1995 and december 1996. the centers for disease control and prevention stopped disease surveillance. 368 national park service sites were closed, turning away an estimated 7 million visitors, and 20,000 u.s. passport applications were unprocessed. ranging from health and welfare to financial and travel assistance, just some examples of what happened. >> we do not wish to ignore the interests of any other country. we do not wish to go to war with any country. we do not seek to produce any weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, and therefore, should there be any
7:05 am
concerns it is crucial to remove those concerns. >> that was hassan rouhani continuing to declare iran does not want a nuclear bomb. now comes the true test. negotiations start in geneva. tomorrow, we start a contrasting view. from benjamin netanyahu. he will visit president obama at the white house, then meeting, of course, coming three days after the president spoke directly to his iranian counterpart, breaking three decades of a sfatandoff there. mr. netanyahu will be looking of proof of the president's commitment to possibly confront iran and deter the producing of nuclear weapons. can we believe iran? john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, fox's contributor and also senior fellow at the american enterprise institute.
7:06 am
good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric. >> you're an the united nations this week. is iran for real? >> no, this is another play from hassan rouhani's play book from ten years ago. they will make a surface, superficial compromise. they will continue their charm offensive. they'll do anything they can optically to get relief from the economic sanctions, but they will not sacrifice the nuclear program. if you listen to hassan rouhani's speeches in new york, last week, he made it clear. this is the same gameplan they followed before, and i'm afraid if you look at the president's kind of abject longing for a handshake or a conversation with hassan rouhani last week, it's very clear iran enters this negotiation holding the upper hand. >> let's look at what how harouy said in 2004. he gave a speech and boasted
7:07 am
about the quarterback sneak. here's what he said during negotiations with europeans. >> quote, while we were talking with europeans in tehran, we were installing parts in the facility in isfahan. we were able to complete the work. ambassador, is this all part of a fake? >> absolutely. i quote those very lines in my book about my time up here, surrender is not an option. he was boasting about it. he gave speeches, wrote articles. it wasn't any secret. he was saying it at the thime tat the europeans were negotiated. and i think what he understands is if he can break the sanctions, if he can get even small amounts of relief from the sanctions, it will be almost impossible to torque them back up again six months, nine months from now, when the negotiations finally break down as they inevitably will. he wants time to buy relief prom the sapgzs, continue work on the nuclear relief program, and most
7:08 am
importantly of all, give obama more leverage to use over netanyahu to say, look, we've got a negotiatation process going. israel simply can't use military force against the iranian nuclear program. i think that's the message obama's going to deliver to netanyahu this week. >> the president said words are not enough. he's looking for actions on behalf of tehran and wants something that's verifiable. is that possible? >> right, ask bashar al assad what the president's word means when he sets forth a red line. ask the terrorists who killed four americans in benghazi on september 11th last year. one red line after another. one line in the sand. one acceptable action after another. the president is not going to use force against iran's nuclear program. it's never going to happen. the israelis, i think, understand that, but even worse, the iranians understand it even better. >> they're going to sit down in three weeks in geneva with the very eloquent and elegant
7:09 am
foreign minister. here's a list, we could find out quickly if they're going to cooperate. for example, demand to stop uranium enrichment, stop plutonium production, close the underground fufultz and cooperate fully with u.n. inspectors. there it is. isn't it easy if they're genuine and sincere to fulfill that? >> absolutely. they could have done this ten years ago. in fact, the europeans offered them essentially ten years ago a guaranteed supply of reactor-grade enriched uranium for as many reactors they wanted if iran would give up its enrichment program and the possibility of reprocessing spent fuel to get plutonium. they offered it to the iranians for ten straight years. and iran has refused to give up that enrichment kablt because they know if we legitimize their enrichment, which our president has already said he could do,
7:10 am
their weapons program is home free. i am worried we're in for the bad deal. benjamin netanyahu is in the worst position he and israel have been in in 30 years. this is a very bad development we have seen here. >> and benjamin netanyahu will have the last word on tuesday. good to see you. thank you. >> thank you, eric. >> jamie? >> well, at this point, less than time-o than two days until a potential government shutdown. any chance of a deal? >> first, the phone calls, then the e-mails. now your facebook? it may not be safe, they say, from government spying. a shocking new report on what the nsa is supposedly doing. ♪ ho ho ho [ female announcer ] at 100 calories, not all food choices add up. some are giant. some not so giant. when managing your weight, tter.some not so giant. ♪ ho ho ho ♪ green giant

there are new reports this sunday morning that the federal government has been using social media as part of its sweep. the "new york times" reporting that the national security agency has been collecting data to map out social connections based on things like facebook for three years now. the "times" says feds are tracking social connections saying that allows the government to identify some americans associations, associations over seas, their locations as well as their traveling companions and other personal information. the nsa did not comment on what phone logs and databases they're said to be using, but even facebook and voter registration information were said to be part of this sweep. so no surprise, the obama care debate is front and center on fox news sunday this morning as the government funding debate continues or maybe it takes a
7:15 am
little break today on capitol hill. but chris wallace is drilling down on the arguments over the health care law. here are republicans mike lee, and democrat tim kaine. listen. >> how many more americans will have to lose their jobs or health coverage or have their wages or hours cut as a result of this law before congress acts. it's time to act. the news that came out about the exchanges last week, we're going to have to see on october 1st is that people are going to have vastly more choices of insurance products and the ability to have them subsidized if the exchanges going into effect. >> joining me now, chris wallace, as we learn and more about this, chris, what can we expect to hear on fox news sunday? >> very interesting. we have kevin mccarthy, the number three republican in the house, and he talks about what they're going to do to avert a sh shutdown when in all likelihood it will be the senate that comes
7:16 am
back tomorrow afternoon and flushes the bill the house passes and then eight to ten hours left before a shutdown, and mccarthy says if it gets sent back to the house, they'll sign a continuing resolution, but they'll continue to put in conditions about obama care. obama care continue continues, exchanges start up on october 1st. we had a rel debate between tim kaine and mike lee. we talked about coverage. the president promises if you like the doctor you have and the plan you have, you can keep it. not necessarily so. he says premiums will go down. not necessarily so. the question of jobs because there are supposedly 313 companies that have either cut hours or cut jobs because they don't want to be -- fall under the employer mandate in obama ca care. we go into this in detail, and i suspect people will be fascinated hearing from both kaine and lee, and frankly, just some of the facts we present,
7:17 am
what the truth is about obama care as it goes forward. >> that's what i want to ask you, how does the president continue to insist these things like you keep the care you have, that you like, when even in my research today, i looked through a number of states where that isn't going to be the case. what do they say about that? >> that's a question. it certainly is the case that a lot of the promises the president made in the campaign and of course as he was pushing obama care in 2009 and '10 are not true because you could be put in a plan where you may not be able to see your doctor or he's out of network and you pay a lot more. premiums, deductibles, office visits could cost more. and one of the things that some republicans who don't like the shutdown idea are saying is let obama care happen. yes, people are going to have some problems, but maybe the only way you can end this plan is for people to experience it and then perhaps, and of course that's the republican view, not the democrat, it will fall of
7:18 am
its own way. that's one of those continuing debates. my guess is even if obama care goes into effect, the debate over it is not going to end. my guess is once it really goings into effect in 2014, it will increase. >> the other thing that happens when it goes into effect, chris, is it costs a lot of money. the president said we have to pay the bills we already incurred. that's why the continuing resolution has to be passed and the government shouldn't shut down, but there are additional costs we'll see with obama care. what do your guests say with regards to cost implementing the l law? >> that's gets complicated. if you look at the reports, they have to base it on the information they're given. they say it will reduce the deficit over the next ten years, not increase it. there are a lot of republicans and outside experts who say that's not the case, but that's the argument the administration has. >> we can't wait to tune in because we're going to learn a
7:19 am
lot as we should, as we wait to see what happens with the shutdown. always great to see you sunday morning. >> thanks. >> i do recommend you watch the complete interview with senators mike lee and tim kaine. tune in to fox news sunday for that and have as well the exclusive interview chris has with the republican majority whip, congressman kevin mccarthy on fox news sunday 2:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. eastern here. >> if they do shut down the government tomorrow night, will wall street tank on tuesday morning? as the clock ticks down to a possible government shutdown, what it will mean for our jobs, our wallets, our 401(k)s and the nation's very financial future. and it's a countdown to the wint orlimpics. they lit the olympic flame, no matches there, with high-tech torch lighting stuff that is pretty fancy using the sun's rays. you have to see it to believe it. we'll have that coming up. the american dream is of a better future,

7:24 am
from recovering from the recession. even if lawmakers avoid a fiscal crisis, there's another one weeks away. what will happen if the government shuts down and how will that affect wall street and our pocket books? brenda is here, and she joins us now. you sit back and go, oh, man, wall street is going to tank? what is going to happen? >> in large part, no deal on the government shutdown has been no big deal to wall street. it has been down 6 of the last 7 trading sessions, but we have want lost a great amount. that is because wall street investors think they have basically seen this movie before and they know how it's going to end. that they will come to a last-minute deal, you know, the brinksmanship will end, but let's take a look at history and what it tells us. the last time there was a significant government shutdown was in '95 to '96. it was longer than twoory three days and it did take a little bit off economic growth.
7:25 am
but then it went up. gdp went up to 7.2%. these are two different economies, but the main thing is wall street is not worried about the government shutdown. it's worried about the fact that there is such intransigence in washington there may not be a deal on the next fiscal crisis that is much more significant. that comes in mid-october over the debt limit and whether or not we will raise the borrowing cap. then we can see investors really get spooked. >> that raises the issue about the overwhelming debt that they still haven't been able to really significantly impact yet. and how that will deal with the financial future. >> we have been racking up debt for years and years and it seems to be worse. the reason wall street would be so concerned about this is the last time we came this close to not raising the borrowing cap was in the summer of 2011. and the day after the s & p,
7:26 am
which basically looks at our credit, downgraded the u.s. credit rating for the first time ever. the dow had a 635-point plunge. now, it did come back. and the bulls have been roaring ever since. so it really depends on how long lasting this is, and if we actually default. we have never defaulted as a country before. so lawmakers really do have to come to some agreement on the borrowing cap. and that is what wall street is worried about. it's not worried about a two to three day shutdown. >> sit tight, close our eyes, let go like we're on a roller coaster, and then open them up. >> that's right. >> thanks so much. >> well, you want to kick it up a notch? maybe eating right can make you smarter? there's a new study questioning the value of foods that are widely considered to be brain boosters. we're going to talk about it in sunday house call. that's next.
7:27 am
7:30 am
time now for "sunday hou housecall" and joining us is dr. david samadi, chief of robotic surgery. >> good morning. >> also dr. marc siegel is here, associate professor of medicine at nyu. good to ssee you. >> good to see you. >> hope everyone is well. >> welcome back. >> thank you. great to be with you. i'm going to start with this brand new study that questions the brain benefits of omega-3s. those are the acids most likely found in
