10:00 am
we appreciate you joining us. hope you make it a great day,er. everybody. thank you. hello, everyone. welcome to "america's news headquarters." >> i'm jamie colby. topping the news this hour for you, we have some new developments in the road range case in new york. a group of bikers chased a driver for blocks and beat him in front of his family. undercover cops, at least one of them, among the bikers, we're told, as it happened, and he's being accused of doing nothing to stop it. but did he have to? we're going to ask our legal panel. >> snow is slamming the midwest. that's not all that's causing
10:01 am
millions of dollars of damage in america's midsection. we will tell you when the storms could stop. >> and who could forget little super star? we have some good news about cancer patient and toughest nebraska husker, the toughest you've ever met, jack kaufman. first, we begin with a fox news alert on the latest effort in washington to end the partial government shutdown. both houses of congress gathering today for a very special weekend session. just a short time ago, the house just passing a bill that would give furloughed federal workers back pay. but that's only once this government shutdown is othver. so far, neither side seems willing to budge at all. live in washington with more details on this story. what's happening? >> democrats, house and senate, have said they don't want to deal with this shutdown piece by piece, except with this one issue of providing back pay to furloughed federal workers.
10:02 am
that legislation passed the house earlier today. it's expected to pass the senate later today. democrats say it's a, quote, absurd way to deal with the shutdown. >> to say we're going to pay people but they don't have to work to get paid is, it just doesn't make any sense. >> it's not fair to them or our country. let them work. be and we get this legislation from the house. for example, open the park service. >> the bill passed the house unanimously today. in a brief minute of bipartisanship here on capitol hill. house republicans say it helps to alleviate some of the pain of the shutdown as they say they've been trying to do. such as the national institutes of health, the national parks and fema. well, that gives them, they say, time to negotiate more contentious issues like obama care. with all those bills from the house expected to die in the senate, president obama also has
10:03 am
maintained that the government needs to reopen altogether, not bit by bit. the president canceled a trip to asia but says he's not going to negotiate while the government is shut down. which republicans say is the wrong approach. >> the president canceled his trip to asia. that's a unique opportunity then, if he's here this weekend, we're here this weekend. this can all end. all the president has to do is sit down. >> the democrats have calculated that by prolonging the shutdown and maximizing the pain, they can bully republicans into doing whatever president obama and majority leader reid want them to do. it's a very cynical game but democrats have decided to play it. >> they're not supposed to get through the senate but the white house has said the president would veto them. the white house has not said that the president would veto this bill that would provide back pay for furloughed workers. so he's expected to be on board
10:04 am
with that. kelly. >> thank you. the saga continues, doesn't it? molly hananburg, reporting from washington. jamie. >> one group of folks that are not taking no for an answer in the budget showdown are world war ii veterans. would you expect anything else from them? they've been standing their ground. they actually are breaking down barriers that are blocking off the world war ii memorial in washington, d.c. it's sealed off because of the shutdown. elizabeth prann is live in washington with that part of the story. >> reporter: you're right, they are not taking no for an answer, and for many of then, they do work with flight networks who do bring them to these types of sites. it's really a lifetime opportunity. they were greeted with these barricades. now, that being said, we are seeing a steady stream of people who still break through the barriers. we hear park rangers asking them very politely to leave. they obviously cannot use force
10:05 am
so we're not seeing a lot of confrontation. you can see a group of folks, they're shuffling in. that is a group of world war ii veterans from arkansas. they just got off the plane. a lot of them have obviously never visited before. they're coming to see the world war ii memorial. they have some lawmakers there who are helping them go past these barriers without any confrontation from park police. a lot them say it's very emotionally and physically tiring for veterans to get here in the first place. >> it's been seen that they would reject the movement of veterans. the average age is 91, 92 years old. and they all served, but it was a wonderful experience. >> this on the heels of a report from the "washington post" that one park ranger says he has been told to make life, quote, as difficult as possible for people.
10:06 am
across the country, we're seeing state governors. they're also representatives from the republican national committee who are privately asking for funds to be -- excuse me, to get these funds privately to fund these parks if that makes sense. they say lawmakers are saying this is really only hurting americans. >> when you start putting barricades and open parking spaces or turnaround for buses at mount vernon or shutting down facilities all over the country that don't get a dime of federan it was clear this administration meant to hurt the american people. >> reporter: they said october is really their busiest month. come november, it gets a little too cold. and then in the springtime, unfortunately, we may be losing some of these very brave men and women. >> so true. elizabeth prann, live in washington, thank you, elizabeth. kelly. >> after a very bumpy roleol ou
10:07 am
this week, we're now learning the official obama care website is now down for repairs. glitches and delays have frustrated millions of users trying to access the online exchanges. now the department of health and hup services is actually using overnight hours to debug the system. they say the website will still be open for general information. >> one of the stories we're following today, the sister of the young mother that was killed after ramming the gates of the white house says her sister suffered from postpartum depression. you'll recall our nation's capitol was locked down for hours on thursday by the car chase that followed. ending when police shot and killed mar ykill ed mariam carey as her baby-sat in her car. her sister is a former ny police sergeant and she claims police went too far. >> we have questions. she is a mother who has lost a daughter. my sisters and i, we have lost a sister.
10:08 am
and my niece has lost her mother. and we need to know why. why was my sister shot and killed with her 1-year-old daughter in the car, and she was unarmed? why? my mother deserves to know why. we deserve to know why. >> well, we can report that investigators are looking into both mariam's mental state but also police action. we've got some extreme weather to tell you about. deadly snowstorms and tornadoes tearing through america's heartland right now. witnesses reporting wide funnel clouds like this one you're looking at. that's in nebraska. iowa and south dakota. all taking place yesterday. waking up this morning to millions dollars in damages. roofs collapsed. trucks turned over. and hopes torn from their very foundations. many people, like this nebraska woman, ran for cover. >> i just knew there was a
10:09 am
tornado. my husband was out watching. i heard it on the radio that it was going to hit the town. we went to the basement. i really couldn't hear anything. i would not have expected it to be like this when we got out because i did not hear -- i mean, it was loud. no, did not expect this. >> did not expect this at all. more than 33 inches of snow not expected but that fell earlier in the day in south dakota. those storms expected to keep up this weekend. some harrowing weather out there. >> unbelievable, living up to the extreme weather center certainly this weekend. going back to the tornadoes. we had 18 reports of tornadoes not only in nebraska but iowa. yesterday, some of the damage that you saw just briefly in the video, parts of nebraska and iowa seeing several tornadoes. large wedge tornados that caused so much damage. unfortunately, injuries as well. so we'll continue to track this storm system. part of it, that snowstorm that
10:10 am
brought feet of snow to parts of the rockies and the northern plains. you see the snow moving into the dakotas. the cold front associated with that could bring us the potential for more severe weather, not only today, but tomorrow, as this front continues to move eastward. we'll see the gulf of mexico moisture work its way up to tropical storm karen. all of these big cities, we could see hail, danieli idaniel winds. the snowfall amounts are incredible. historic. over 3 feet of snow in parts of south dakota. really, they are into a cleanup. i just want to make mention, one setups for santa ana winds in years for southern california continues today. we could see wind gusts in excess of 60 miles per hour. we'll watch that. we're also still monitoring tropical storm karen that's set to make landfall later on today into the overnight, with heavy rain and wind.
10:11 am
man, it is incredible in the fox news extreme weather center. tracking all of those stories throughout the day. back to you. >> that's crazy weather going on out there. >> it is, it is. >> thank you. all right, janice. >> janice is safe in the weather center. our steve harrigan is out there taking a look at tropical storm karen. it's expected to bring really strong winds. heavy rainfall through the weekend. despite the system weakening a bit. i have seen you blowing around all over our nation. and in mexico. now you're in new orleans. what do you think? >> jamie, right now in new orleans, pretty mild. we just had a police officer come by and say we dodged a bullet. that's the sense here, a sense of confidence. if there is damage from this storm, it will be mainly flooding damage. that's what we've seen really throughout state, especially in low lying areas. they are making preparations for floods. using sandbags. pulling their boats in. moving more valuable possessions up to higher floors in their
10:12 am
houses. the governor, bobby jindal, has declared a state of emergency. but in one sign that this storm is weakening and the threat from the storm is weakening, certain areas like plaquemines parish earlier had mandatory evacuations. those have been shifted to volunteer evacuations. >> we'll check back with you, glad things look pretty good there right now, thanks. >> the republican party looking for a facelift after the last election. california state gop holding its annual convention. a state known for its more liberal leaning cities and large latino populations in the hopes of rebalancing the republican party and make it more modern for all citizens. we are streaming live with more details about this. good to see you. >> good to see you, kelly. now, the democrats here hold every statewide elected office seat here in california. also got a vast majority of the congressional seats. and so do the republicans.
10:13 am
they've got a real challenge in trying to turn the tide here. one way of doing it, they believe, is winning more latino voters. and a group of latino republicans got together and they are aiming to take a bunch of seats either held by the democrats or held by long-standing republicans themselves. we caught up with the mayor, who is a latino, and he won in a largely latino dominated constituency. he said what it was about really is changing the face of the republican party, sort of amongst the latino community, with latino faces. here's how he described he manage, to do it by being elected mayor. take a listen. >> i would knock on doors. speak with families. they would invite me into their hopes. i would speak at length sometimes about my policy proposals around education reform. and sometimes we could just not believe that i was so sensible and so approachable. >> latinos really want to see
10:14 am
the republican party address jobs for latinos. that's a huge problem here. better pay. and of course they need a turnaround in policy quite frankly when it comes to immigration. the republican party's been talking about that. people like jack want to actually go for more positions like the mayoral kind of jobs or school boards starting at local municipal level. they're backed by an organization called grow elect which is looking to implant latinos in very specific positions. eventually, they're going to have to go by the road whereby they're actually challenging congressional seats and stateside seats and that meaning taking on the party. the man who set grow elect is describing what challenge that is going to be. take a lislisten. >> we don't expect party leaders just to roll over or to appoint folks just because of their ethnicity. what we expect are for well qualified republicans that happen to be hispanic to stand up and say, we want to be a part of this party.
10:15 am
>> well, more than the 15 congressional seats the republicans have here in california in districts where the population is at least 30%. and the demographic changes by the end of this year alone expect latinos to be the majority demographic in california. the republicans have got their work cut out for them. grow elect believes they're the way to get it fixed. >> good report, thank you for joining us and bringing us some insight into what's happening with the latino population out there. >> well, we've told you about them before and now we want to give you an update. the little boy suffering from brain cancer who ran on the field with the nebraska huskers football team, he's in remission. the 8-year-old became an internegligence session after this inspiring video of his 69-yard touchdown run during the cornhusker's spring scrimmage in april went absolutely viral. can you blame it? the parents confirming the good
10:16 am
news earlier today. look at him go. thanks to surgeries and chemotherapy, his father says jack is getting his little boy's life back. we wish our best to that whole family. they are all so involved in his care. everyone's cheering him on. >> that is a fantastic story. i just love seeing that. >> great video too. you can understand. >> great stuff. anyway, coming up, a stunning turn in the case of a new york city driver. attacked by a motorcycle gang. was an undercover police officer among the bikers? could it change the outcome of the case? we will ask our legal panel. >> plus there is a brand-new twist in the budget showdown. oh, yes, you haven't heard it all. have house democrats come up with a way now to bypass speaker boehner in the negotiations? will their plan work? our political panel fair and balanced weighs in on that next.

10:21 am
welcome back. let's talk about the government shutdown. as it continues with really no clear end in sight, word now that house democrats have come up with a new way to potentially force republican leaders into allowing a vote on the so-called clean cr bill. that would continue to fund the government and obama care. so could this plan actually work? and what are the likely repercussions of it? angela mcgouen is a fox news political analyst. and doug showen is a political contributor and former pollster for president clinton. before we get to this, this is dicey, what the democrats are proposing, let's talk about what took place in the house today. members voting to actually give back pay for those who are been
10:22 am
furloughed. those federal workers who have been federaloed. but, get this, it comes once the shutdown ends. what is the dealso here? we can get bipartisanship on that. >> i think we'll see more bipartisanship. but not the bipartisanship they want with this shutdown act that was introduced by a republican in march. congressman langford from oklahoma. i think we'll have more bipartisan support to have little small cr bills. to open nih, to fund nih, to fund the national parks and other things. >> doug, what is this plan that the democrats are proposing? >> here's what the logic is. as we approach october 17th, which is the debt ceiling, it gets more serious, kelly, because this -- >> it does. >> -- full faith and credit of the united states. rather than dealing with an abstract notion of a government shutdown which does affect 800,000 government workers but most people don't feel it day to day. the debt ceiling could
10:23 am
reverberate around the world iw. the republican leader john boehner has made it clear he's going to let there be a vote on this clean cr. i believe there will be 4050, 60 republicans who, for the best reason, political necessity, will sign on with the democrats, who are not going to default, the government will open with a debt ceiling extension. >> the debt ceiling, that is -- i believe they're going to actually, doug, keep the government closed until they have the debt ceiling debate. >> that's what i'm saying. if this plan goes through and you get 40 to 50 republicans -- i know angela says this isn't going to happen -- >> dealing with a petition, that's what i'm talking about. >> if you get this petition put through, what's it going to look like for the republicans who choose to go that way? >> i don't see that happening, because -- >> why? >> -- the republican caucus is together. you do have some moderate republicans who are a little nervous. what john boehner did, he enlisted the chairman of the ways and means committee and also paul ryan, former vp
10:24 am
candidate, to hold those ares at bay would who are a little nervous, saying it will backfire on the republicans. the caucus is together as one. you do have some people behind the scenes actually saying this is really going to hurt the gop, but they're standing strong. i can foot see republicans breaking with the caucus to join democrats dealing with this discharge. >> doug, the question, then, this discharge issue that we're talking about, if they go forward, if the republicans are going to go forward with that, it would be advantageous for them to end this whole stalemate right now. but it would still take six or seven days to go through. >> that is exactly right. here's the problem. the longer this goes and the more the republicans look, as the polls show that they're responsible, the more these moderate republicans from swing districts get nervous. now, you're right, kelly, you're absolutely right. they've got to move quickly because this process will take a few days. there's one big but in this process. we can't control financial
10:25 am
markets. if nervousness sets in and the dow goes down 500 points or more in a day, we could be in for calamitous times and, bottom line, we want to avoid that. that's wrong. that's why ultimately we'll have bipartisanship. >> you're saying the liberals talking points. the president said, you know, we might go into recession, even the head of the treasury, he's making the same comments. the bottom line is this, we're not going to default on our bills, we're not. the president will not allow it. congress will not allow it. right now, they're playing politics. you're saying the polls are down on republicans, obama's polls are going down as well. >> hear what you just said, we're playing politics? and john boehner said, this is not damn game. >> there is political dysfunction in washington. >> that we agree on. >> both sides are playing politics. >> and we just want to avoid an unintended consequence, a black swan event, and that's why we've got to move sooner. >> the unintended consequence, those american people who are not working. >> right, correct. >> and i've already --
10:26 am
>> they will get back pay. >> what about now? the bills are due now? >> mortgages are due now, you're exactly right. people are suffering. at the end the day, while they're playing politics in washington, d.c. -- >> and people who need health care are not getting it and people would have cancer aren't getting trials for drugs that could save their lives. >> i think they're going to vote and a bill to fund the nih. >> i love you guys both. >> love you too. >> even though you come out swinging. all right, thanks. >> they were just warming up, kelly. one of the world's largest nuclear reactors is shut down for a while and it happened by sea life. workers at the oscar sham nuclear plan in sweden are scrambling to fix a problem. and finally getting things back online after a pretty unissue attack last month. amy kellogg has more on that. >> it wasn't damage, a security threat or even protesters which shut down one of the world's largest nuclear reactors on the last weekend of september. it was a giant swarm of
10:27 am
jellyfish. the moon jellyfish, as they're commonly called, came from the deep, about 60 feet down, and in such numbers that they clogged the filter of the plant's cooling water intake pipes, forcing a complete shutdown of the nuclear facility. the managing director of the plant says it's very unusual to have to shut a plant down completely. it's happened around the world, but for this plant, it is unusual. it may be unusual in the baltic sea but marine and plant life can gum up manmade power workings more often than you think. in july 2011, workers at israel's largest electrical plant in hadera battled wave after wave of the sea creature. >> when those jellyfish are coming in swarms, they're blocking our cooling system. >> plant officials estimated they removed over 100 tons of jellyfish to keep the plant working. and in december, it was the saint lucie national power plant in florida. they were forced to shut their
10:28 am
reactor down for two days after jellyfish clogged their canals. jellyfish swarms have plagued cooling systems since they came online but scientists have noticed a rise in jellyfish swarms over the recent decade saying this may indicate a change in ocean environments. amy kellogg, fox news. going beyond the dream. i'll sit down with inspirational author and preacher joe olsteen about how to keep hope alive in america even during a time of turmoil. new york city is getting even more attention. we're going to tell you about how one off-duty police officer may be facing charges for allegedly not stopping the bikers from attacking a driver of the suv.story. next. i'm kind of seeing a...
10:29 am
some kind of... this is... an alien species. reality check: a lot of 4g lte coverage maps don't really look like much at all. i see the aleutian islands. looks like a duck. it looks like... america... ish. that's a map. that's a map of the united states. check the map. verizon's 4g lte is the most reliable, and in more places than any other 4g network. i've got the good one! i got verizon! that's powerful. verizon. the lg g2. featuring an intuitive rear-key design and 13 megapixel camera. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function
10:30 am
so movg is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.
10:31 am
10:32 am
10:33 am
we couplcome back, everybod. there is a new twist in the case of road rage on the streets of new york city. the driver of this suv chased for blocks before being beaten by a group of bikers in front of his wife and 2-year-old child. now we're learning there may have been an undercover cop among the cyclists. the question is for our legal panel today. i'm going to pull a bill o'reilly here and call you wo and schwartz. the only way when we have two davids we can make it work. >> that's fine, jamie. >> no problem. >> welcome. i asked you to look at article 30. the new york city good samaritan law. the question is if an off-duty police officer or could be an
10:34 am
off duty doctor, although they're really not off-duty, what are the obligations of someone who may have been innocently riding in that motorcycle group who sees something like this happen? must they call 911? must they render aid? wo? >> well, jamie, you know, as an officer, even off-duty, he's got an obligation to call 911, possibly to intervene in a criminal attack. but the fact that he did not do it does not mean he'll be charged with a crime. he may face internal discipline from the police department. because of the fact that he's with this gang to begin with. now, he's undercover, and the issue is with the undercover investigating this biker gang or was he just an undercover officer who happened to belong to the gang? my guess is he's just an undercover officer who happened to belong to the gang. because if you were investigating the gang, we wouldn't know about it right now. they keep these guys identifies concealed. so we wouldn't know he's
10:35 am
investigating the biker gang or even his identity at this point. >> this nypd officer or detective says he didn't want to identify himself because he does undercover work. this we can understand. when david wohl says gang, gloria allred has even gotten involved in this because the girlfriend of one of the bikers says they're not a gang, they're a group of great guys. if you look at this video where you actually see what happens to this driver, somebody's going to face charges for this. should it be someone that was in the crowd that may have either expertise or a license to render aid who doesn't? >> here's the issue. first of all, is this a gang? we have to figure out if it's a gang or not. it looks like a very organized effort on the part of the group. if it's not a gang and it's just a group of bikers, we have to see who is -- we have to see who is criminally culpable for this act. the police officer has to be treated like everybody else in this grouping of people to see
10:36 am
what he did affirmatively to cause this to happen. was the police officer acting in concert? as far as the fact that he's just a police officer, he's not going to be charged criminally for just being a police officer. he may face administrative charges and civil charges but not criminal charges. >> you're saying no higher duty because you're a police officer in this group. >> there's a higher duty for a police officer to help, but that's an administrative duty. he can't be held criminally culpable. also, the u.s. supreme court ruled on this in 2005 and they cape out in favor of the concept that there is no affirmative duty. >> let me ask you about the driver. because whether this happened before that started the melee or a result of being blocked in, that driver of the car injured very critically one of the motorcyclists. and he hasn't been charged. can you explain that?
10:37 am
>> jamie, what happened initially was one of the bikers went in front of the suv and slammed his brakes on. when he did that, jamie, it's arguably an assault with a deadly weapon. i have a case similar to that where a car went in front of the driver, slammed his brakes on and caused a confrontation. at that point, the driver of the suv is taking evasive action to get out of this melee and he accidentally apparently by all accounts runs over a biker and injures hip. at that point, that's when apparently everything exploded. and they drove a little bit further down the road and he was brutally attacked by one of the bikers who smashed the window in and dragged him out and beat the living daylights out of him. that is the primary culpable character in this whole thing. he could face attempted murder charges. >> let me just give david schwartz a chance to quickly react. is david wohl saying the car in front could be considered an aggressor even though he's in
10:38 am
front because he stopped? >> i don't think we should rush to judgment so fast here. i think we have to look at the acts of the such driver. certainly from that video, we can all sympathize with the horrible situation he was put in with his wife and 2-year-old baby, but we really need to look at his conduct, whether he started something, whether he purposefully injured something. certainly from the video, it does look like an accident. he was just trying to get away. but more investigation is needed. >> all right, but david and david in this particular case, we won't take sides, we'll leave it to the police to investigate. guys, thanks so much. great to see you. >> thank you, jamie. >> kelly. in today's installment of beyond the deep, we talk to a man who spends his entire life encouraging americans and people around the world to dream big and to dream boldly. joe olsteen sat down to talk to me about giving people hope even in the midst of a government
10:39 am
shutdown. do you have some concerns when you look at things outside of the church and you look at our government for xexample? it seems to be they're mired and paralyzed in fighting rather than finding reconciliation to negotiate and find a bre breakthrough. >> really is. there's a lot of negativity. i think there's a lot, you know, people are passionate about politics, good people on both sides. but i think there is. you have to come to a point where you have to find some kind of common ground to agree on. i think that's what keeps some of that mired in, you know, nobody's going to give. >> what would be your advice to americans today who are perhaps feel a little downtrodden because government doesn't appear to be functioning and leadership doesn't appear to be where it needs to be? >> yes, you know, kelly, there's a lot in life pushing us down. from that to health issues, financial issues. just life in general. so my encouragement always is to get up in the morning and find something to be grateful for. it's easy to focus on the wrong
10:40 am
and what i don't have and what didn't work out. but if you get up and you think, you know, lord, i want to thank you that i'm alive, that i have health. whatever you have. there's got to be something. when you start your day off like that, the day's going to go better. >> tell any about this new project. your new book, breakout, what's it about? >> the premise is a lot of people get stuck in life. we put limitations on ourselves and think, i've gone as far as i can. my marriage is not going to get any better. i don't have the talent or i don't have the education. whatever it is. the book is about believing bigger and taking those limitations off and knowing that even when you don't see a way, god still has a way. i like to inspire people to move forward to become all god's created them to be. >> i know your ministry goes beyond what we see on television, that you're actually reaching out to youth in america and youth around the world and people who are in dire straits. >> yes, it's a very important part of our ministry. a lot of people see the 30 minutes of me encouraging and the word is one good thing, the

voice, but also the actions as well. so in our community in houston, we're big believers. we go and paint houses and put libraries back in schools and low-income neighborhoods. we have thousands of people that go out every week to the prisons, like you said, we have programs to help people write their job resumes, give them a suit, go out and get a job. any way we can uplift people not only in houston but across the nation. >> i understand you're going to be doing a really big event here in new york city in 2014. tell me about that. >> we're excited to come back to yankee stadium. june 7th, 2014. it's our ten-year anniversary of our nights of hope. those events we've done once a month the last ten years. so we're excited. new york's one of our favorite places. people love god here and, you know, people told me originally a preacher from texas, they're not going to accept you, but we filled eed up the stadium. >> pleasure to have you. keep living your life by faith and beyond the dream.

a fox news alert. we continue to report on the government shutdown and what will happen with all those workers who are furloughed. now at this point the associated press is reporting that the pentagon plans to bring most of its furloughed civilian emplo e employees back to work. we've put our calls out, checking all our pentagon sources to bring you more information on that. again, it's according to the associated press. we'll have more coming up this hour. the showdown may be taking its toll on our nation but there is another budget issue creating an even bigger cause for concern, and both wall street and treasury secretary jack lew have been issuing warnings about it this week. the debt limit is what we're talking about right now with dominique, a financial adviser and president of diversified financial consultants here in manhattan and new york city. this is really serious, because
10:47 am
we're only less than two weeks away from having to decide what we're going to do about this national debt ceiling and if we stake? >> well, you can almost say everything that's happened up until now is just noise. the real issue is the budget deficit and the limit we have and the amount of debt we can borrow. so you can absolutely expect this is going to go down to the wire. the politics and noise are going to continue and the market's going to react accordingly. >> you say it's just noise right now. but is that noise causing some reverberations you can see throughout the stock market, with people and their portfolios and just the general public? >> in fact, i'm almost amazed how well the markets have behached. so they are a little bit lower. about 2% off the all-time highs. think people still believe in the markets. they'll to some rational solution to the problem before the deadline. as we get closer our own

whether it's our own citizens and buying treasuries. we need to find a long-term solution. we need real courage in washington. >> real courage in washington, but where do you see our long-term solution in settling this? >> short term, there has to be some kind of compromise. real volatility until then. but some compromise. long term, the real problems we have, we're simply spending more money than we take in. whether it's because of social security, medicare, obama care. whether it's defense. we are spending more money than we take in. we cannot keep that up indefinitely. we have to find a long-term solution. >> wise council as always, thank you, my friend, for talking to us. and we will be right back. both have hail damage to their cars. ted is trying to get a hold of his insurance agent. maxwell is not. he's on geico.com setting up an appointment with an adjuster. ted is now on hold with his insurance company.

welcome back, everybody. there are some new warnings about a popular medication. it's a statin. they're widely used to lower cholesterol. there are a couple of new studies that link the drugs to some serious side effects. i want to bring in dr. nina radcliffe, private practice md and someone we turn to for things like this. so dr. radcliffe, a lot of people stopped taking statin because they suffered from side effects. muscle aches.
10:54 am
but other things too. ways your recommendation? what does this new study tell us? >> my thing is you never stop a drug without speaking to your physician. statins have been shown to save people's lives and you do not want to stop it without speaking with your physician, get good advice, make sure. >> in this study, are we learning something new about the side effects and' new way to control them? >> yes, one of the things people worry about is it would affect your memory, your concentration. who wants to protect their heart at the sake of losing their mind? the good news with some of these recent studies we've seen that have come out this week is you do not have to forsake one for another. you can protect your heart as well as your brain. >> this new drug actually in long-term use, you take in addition to the statin, not only don't you lose your memory, it may actually improve your memory. >> correct. statins in general have been shown to actually decrease the amount of dementia. this new drug has shown a lot of promise. there's a lot of buzz. i never like to count my chickens before they hatch.

it is still experimental. we need to find a way to make it work with a pill form. it's only available with intravenous form. >> not yet ready for hope use? >> not ready for home use. >> if you have side effects, like people tell me about muscle aches and other things, maybe this loss of memory, are all statins alike or if one doesn't work for you, might your doctor be able to give you another one successfully? >> yes, correct. do not give up on all statins. some people like pizza. some people like hamburgers. one may work for you, another may not. if you do have the muscle aches, you may just need to change your statin. >> here's the other question i have. if you're on a statin, folks at home, and you think you can eat french fries and pizza at every meal, can you eat what you want? >> no, absolutely not. don't think just because you take it and your cholesterol lowers you're going to get rid of it. this is a lifelong commitment. it's like marriage. some people call it a life
