and that's it for today. have a great week, and we'll see you next "fox news sunday." "fox news sunday" is a presentation of fox news. this is "the fox report." i'm jamie kolby in for harris. today they're fighting the political gridlock in washington. thousands of this nation's bravest men and women all converging on d.c. for a protest they called the million vet march. those veterans are angry at the parable government shutdown now in its 13th day. their protest began at the world war ii memorial. vets, some in wheelchairs, pushing through barriers marking its closing. and joining them today, several big conservative names, including texas senator ted cruz and former alaska governor sarah

palin. peter was on the national mall for today's demonstration and brings us the latest straight from the world war ii national memorial in washington. peter? >> reporter: as the crowds started to swell here at the world war ii memorial this morning, protesters took down the metal barricades that surrounded this entire memorial. they laid them on this nearby grass allowing hundreds of veterans and others to stream into the world war ii memorial that is officially closed while the government is shut down. >> these are open-air memorials, very little cost, if any, to the federal government. these are for our honored war dead. we're not going to stand by and let this happen. >> reporter: what do you both hope to see happen after today's rally? >> i'd like to see the politicians get their acts together and quit punishing the citizens. >> reporter: from here, protesters marched up 17th street to the white house to continue very loudly expressing their disgust with the way the federal government has treated

veterans during the shutdown. there was a similar scene at the lincoln memorial as well. a 91-year-old world war ii veteran spoke this afternoon about what today's turnout meant to him. >> it means a lot. it's very exciting. i appreciate it. it's worth every bit of the time that i spent. dear friends are all around here. >> reporter: as the rally was winding down today, an honor flight full of world war ii veterans arrived. even though the monument is officially closed, a park ranger stood and shook every veterans' hand and said, welcome to your memorial. jamie? >> class move. well, there's a will, but is there a way? that's the question on capitol hill tonight as the senate tries to find a solution, any solution to the stalemate that's ground much of washington to a halt. majority leader harry reid spoke with minority leader mitch mcconnell this afternoon and he called the conversation, quote,

productive. so far, no word on my real movement toward a compromise to reopen our government and raise the debt ceiling. senators on both sides of the aisle giving bleak assessments about how talks are progressing. >> i think we're in a status quo. i do think we will see our way through this, but the last 24 hours have not been good. >> this leadership must lead. basically, we're in a crisis mode right now. we should not be here. there's no way it's acceptable for this government to be shut down. this is self-inflicted pain on millions of people. it's unnecessary. >> that was on "fox news sunday" today. meantime, a white house official is telling fox news that president obama was briefed by a senior staff on the effects of the government shutdown and that looming debt ceiling deadline. steve is live in washington with more on that. steve, good evening to you. are we any closer to a compromise tonight? >> jamie, it's hard to tell. likely nothing is going to happen tonight, but the senate comes back tomorrow at 2:00 to continue working on this.

senator reid talked by phone this afternoon with senate mie to more toty leader mitch mcconnell. reid had this fairly upbeat assessment of the call. >> i've had a productive conversation with the republican leader this afternoon. our discussions were substantive and we'll continue those discussions. i'm optimistic about the prospects for a positive conclusion. >> reid and mcconnell met yesterday for the first time to try and resolve this showdown. several lawmakers were optimistic today simply because the two senate leaders are actually talking. in fact, democratic senator dick durbin said it amounts to a breakthrough. jamie? >> was senator mcconnell as optimistic? >> he issued a statement today challenging democrats to accept a measure that's now on the table in the senate. the statement said in part there is a bipartisan plan in place that would reopen the government and prevent a default. it's time for democratic leaders to take yes for an answer. six senate democrats shot back a

reply fairly quickly, also on paper, saying, we do not support the proposal in its current form. there are negotiations, but there is no agreement. meantime, one gop lawmaker today complained about democrats in the senate and urged his fellow republicans in the house to take action. >> our democratic friends keep moving the goalpost in the senate thinking they're winning, but my belief is that paul ryan should lead this effort with john boehner to pass something out of the house that doesn't delay or defund but would be good government. >> and the president spoke by phone with house minority leader nancy pelosi today. those two agreed on the need to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling for another year. >> steve, thanks. for those who come to cities with monuments, they probably agree. and for the first time since the government shutdown began, the statue of liberty is once again welcoming visitors. lady liberty reopened to the public today after new york state agreed to shoulder the cost. now, as you may know, all

national parks closed when the shutdown began. on thursday, the obama administration gave states the option to use their own money to reopen some of them. new york's not the only state jumping at that offer. >> when you close down the statue of liberty, you close down a good portion of the tourism that comes to new york city. and that has been untold millions of dollars in damage. >> new york govern andrew cuomo there. new york state is paying more than $61,000 every single day to keep liberty island national park open. that money will only last through thursday. so if the shutdown isn't resolved by then, officials say they'll renegotiate and plan to reopen lady liberty park. as i just mentioned, governors across the country are putting their own funds toward keeping their national parks open. they're all hoping they'll make that money back from tourism. utah was the first state to do so.

tourists also able to return to the grand canyon in arizona. the question now is, how long will states be forced to fund all of this? moreover, how long will they be able to? dominic with that story live from our west coast bureau. hi, dominic. >> hey there, jamie. certainly a big question. let's give everybody a quick impression of what it's meant to get these parks open again as well as how much money it's taken. the rocky mountain national park in colorado this weekend, well, visitors were finally allowed back after the state government dug deep into its pockets to reopen one of america's greatest landmarks normally run by the feds. >> but as soon as i put my uniform on, i said, this is the greatest, greatest job. they're all saying, thank you, thank you, thank you for reopening. we can thank our governor for that as well. >> but jamie, no sooner than the country's national treasures have reopened, the issue for the states is how long should they continue to front the feds'

fault. states scrambling to open their parks have clawed together a week, maybe ten days of cash in the hope that washington can solve its deadlock. the states frankly resent having to stump up the cash. arizona's governor, jan brewer, who mustered funds from wherever she could to open the grand canyon this weekend, attacked washington for leaving her hand bound. >> i just refuse to let wrong-headed federal policy deprive tourists worldwide the opportunity to see this magnificent landscape. arizona should not have to pay the federal government's tab here. it's their responsibility. >> state leaders everywhere are hoping the feds will reimburse them for funding those federal parks. problem is, there's absolutely no guarantee that'll happen. it would require congress passing a resolution to secure repayment. it's private donors that have pledged to make up some of the funding, certainly helping, but they probably have even less chance of getting their support

reimbursed. i guess you could say that is the price of patriotism in times like these, i think. back to you. >> dominic, thank you so much. well, right now the united states is looking for answers as to how an american detained in a foreign country wound up dead in his jail cell. and it's the first major marathon in the u.s. since boston. today tens of thousands of runners packed the streets of chicago. we're going to share one woman's journey from the sidelines of that terror attack to the finish line today.

[ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. welcome back, everybody. a nato soldier killed in an apparent insider attack in eastern afghanistan. a man wearing an afghan national security forces uniform shot and killed a nato service member. the alliance isn't providing any details yet on the soldier's nationality, but most of the foreign forces serving in that

part of the country are from the united states. at least 15 foreign soldiers have been killed this year in so-called foreign attacks. meanwhile, an american found dead in egypt. they confirmed the apparent suicide of an american citizen whom egypt had detained. the state department identifying him as james lund. egyptian officials say he was a retired u.s. army officer found hanging in his cell this morning. lund was taken into custody in late august on charges of violating a curfew put in place following a car bombing. he's the second foreigner to die in egyptian custody in recent weeks. and this is an amazing story. some new details on a murder case that's been a mystery for more than two decades. you think those cold cases are never solved? well, the death of this little girl that was nicknamed at the time baby hope, all these years later, we now know her name, and police have named a suspect.

a relative pleading not guilty to felony murder charges, but cops say he confessed to the crime that he sexually assaulted the 4-year-old girl, suffocated her, and stuffed her body into a cooler. new york city detectives also offering they acted on a tip and dna evidence leading them to that suspect, the relative. the lead detective in the case is now retired and talking about the case today. brian is bringing us some closure after all these years. >> we now know baby hope was 4-year-old anjelica castillo. her 52-year-old cousin confessed to sexually assaulting, suffocating her and stuffing her body into a cooler on the side of a highway in 1991. it was a scene jerry georgio, retired nypd, lead detective on the case, would never forget. >> immediately when we were at the scene, i describe it as i

almost felt like her little hand came up and just tugged at our heart. we just accepted her at that point as, you know, maybe a family member. >> for 22 years, he worked to solve the mystery murder. two years after the murder, he and other detectives even took it upon themselves to give the little girl a proper burial, a tombstone he visits every year. >> i would always remind her that she was not forgotten and that hopefully she was resting at peace because, you know, she was a member of our family. i would name a couple of the guys and say, you know, tony sends his regards and bobby sends his regards. >> georgio sifted through at least 400 tips throughout the years to no avail. he retired in july. just two weeks later, an anonymous tip led the police to baby hope's mother, which led them to the girl's confessed killer, a surprise to georgio,

who always believed it was the girls' parents who were guilt. >> they were cold fish. i would say they had no emotions. baby's gone, the baby's gone. it's like you throw away, you know, a bag of trash. >> georgio says he wants to add ann je angelica's name to her tombstone. >> that detective is a hero. thanks for bringing us that story. well, obama care exchanges, you've heard a lot about them. they've gotten off to a really rocky start for some. as people learn more about the overall cost of care. but for some who may find the price too steep, there could be an alternative. we'll explain. and two days after the beating death of his son, nfl star adrian peterson overcoming tragedy the only way he says he knows how. coming up, his reasons for taking the field today.

my mantra?

always go the extra mile. to treat my low testosterone, i did my research. my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as uneected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and meditions. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer; worsening prostate symptoms; decreased sperm count; ankle, feet or body swelling; enlarg or painful breasts; problems breathing while sleeping; and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa.

ask your doctor about e only underarm low t treatment, axiron.

welcome back, everybody. nfl mvp adrian peterson was back on field today, and it's only two days after the beating death of his 2-year-old son. but the minnesota vikings running back says he doesn't expect anyone to understand his decision to join his team today but that he never wavered in that decision. he says playing football helps him cope. he averaged more than six yards a carry, but the vikings lost to the carolina panthers 35-10. peterson's son died friday from injuries that were allegedly inflicted by the boy's mother's boyfriend. joseph patterson is now charged

with aggravated battery and aggravated assault, and police in south dakota say he'll face additional charges. weather now. heavy rain causing huge problems in one part of our country. got to show you austin, texas. flash floods swallowing up cars there. officials had to make a number of water rescues. the national weather service is saying up to a foot of rain fell in just 12 hours. trust me, that's a lot. and the message to drivers is still stay off the roads. >> the ground is saturated. there's more of a potential for flash flooding. there's no way to truly gauge how much water is there. what may look like six inches of water may be two to three feet of water because the road has been damaged or washed out. >> we really want you to be careful with that. forecasters are saying they even expect more rain, more flooding, all of that in coming days. turning now to the bumpy obama care rollout. questions are growing over the

glitches that are plaguing many of the federal insurance exchanges. some experts are also warning of sticker shock, especially if you're a younger adult who could see a big jump in your premium. but as chief national correspondent jim angle explains for us, there are alternatives that could save at least some people money. >> reporter: employers got a year's reprieve from the president before they have to comply with obama care, but individuals did not and some may look for ways to work around the law's new penalties. >> i know there's challenges with the affordable care act. we think our products provide a solution. >> reporter: mike offers short-term insurance, the kind that could appeal to young people who might feel the obama care premiums and deductibles of several thousand dollars more than they're willing to spend. they'd have to pay a penalty, of course, but he says his insurance is still a better deal. >> short-term medical, again, half the cost, same benefits. even with the penalty, it's less

than half the cost. again, in many cases, better benefits with only $50 co-pay to visit a doctor. up to $2 million of coverage. again, any doctor, any hospital. >> reporter: supporters of obama care argue young people will sign up in large numbers, in part because they're likely to get taxpayer subsidies but also because they, too, have medical needs. >> the reason young adults will sign up is because they know when they're playing football or soccer or, you know, things happen that are unpredictable. >> reporter: pollack says young people will decide to sign up rather than pay a penalty because without insurance, they might find themselves in financial trouble. >> remember, if you don't have insurance and you go to the emergency room, you're going to be in enormous debt. most young adults don't want to be saddled with debt. >> reporter: but koz low ski says that's why his plan comes n by protecting anyone who can't afford obama care by large medical bills, although he doesn't cover pre-existing

conditions. he says his plan comes at a fraction of the cost. >> family of four, our product is roughly $3,000. the bronze plan on the exchange, which by definition is 60% actuarial value, is projected to be around $12,000. >> reporter: so he argues it's affordable, even after paying a penalty for not getting obama care, which has an expensive list of benefits that must be covered which drives up the cost. in washington, jim angle, fox news. >> jim, thank you. so our military veterans in huge numbers going to d.c. and they had company. former alaska governor sarah palin and senators cruz and lee were in the crowd. so was greta, who spoke to them. you'll hear some of that in minutes. oh, [ bleep ]! >> now f i could have imitated a wild elk, we wouldn't have needed to do that, but that's what it was. some motorcyclists ended up on the ride of their lives, next.

conferences, quote, productive. but still, there's no word that any deal is close. and both chambers of congress will be back in session tomorrow on the columbus day holiday. joining me now is the chief congressional correspondent for "the washington examiner." great to see you, susan. >> thanks for having me. >> start for folks who maybe haven't followed as closely as we have what progress, if any, was made today. >> well, as you said, both sides were talking. there were bipartisan talks. there were some republican senators talking to democratic senators about a deal that would extend the federal funding for the government and raise the debt ceiling, both temporarily. but there are sticking points. the democrats don't like it for some reasons and house republicans don't like it for other reasons. so it's stalled right now. so by the end of the day today, harry reid, the majority leader, was saying, as you said, there were constructive talks because he's now meeting separately with the mie to bety leader. the two of them are getting together, seeing if they can work out a deal that will

probably be based in part on a broader agreement that's been under discussaturday and sunday. they're just not there yet. they have the outlines of where they want to go, but it's the details. the devil is in the details. they're pretty far apart on those details right now. >> senator susan collins of maine had put forward a plan that was rejected. why? >> right. that's the plan i was referring to. she was meeting with democrats. i know that it's rejected at this moment, but i think there are parts of that plan that can work, and i think there's a framework there. the reason they don't like it overall is that the democrats don't want the sequester level of spending. that's $988 billion. they are about $90 billion apart on how to fund the federal government. the democrats want something closer to $1.05 trillion for the fiscal 2014 year. they think the sequester sort of has taken a hatchet to the deral government. republicans think, hey, it's brought savings we've been long seeking. they're going to have to meet somewhere, not necessarily in

the middle. if you look at the poll numbers and see how bad republicans are looking, democrats think that gives them leverage, meaning they should get more out of the deal. but republicans really aren't giving way. they're saying this spending issue is our signature issue. they may be backing off a little about defunding the health care law. clearly they're signaling they're ready to do that. it's this spending issue that's long nagged the two parties and kept them from ever passing anything in congress. right now it's at the heart of why we haven't moved forward, either on raising the debt creting or funding the federal government. it's really the reason the federal government is closed right now. >> there's a lot on the table, without a doubt. how big an issue in all of that is obama care? >> that's a great question because we were all talking about obama care a week or two ago as the primary issue. in some ways it is because republicans say getting rid of that law is our biggest priority because it's a new entitlement program. they want it to stop. they think it's a bad idea.

they also believe it can't be accomplished through federal funding or through a borrowing limit fight. they think it should be accomplished by winning majorities in the house and the senate and trying to repeal it on their own. they want parts of it changed. so obama care will be important in this fight in that they'll try to get rid of the medical device tax that's part of the law and try to make other minor changes. i don't think they're going to get a delay in the individual mandate. some of them are seeking that. that's going to be on the back burner. some of these minor things it might get through in the end. it'll be less important than we thought it was a few weeks ago. >> susan, what's next? >> monday is columbus day, as you said. they'll be in session. at the close of reid's remarks today, he also said he's optimistic. i think that's important. he doesn't often say that. i think the fact that he and mcconnell are talking and the second and perhaps most important point here is october 17th. that's the date that jacob lewu

the treasury secretary, says he runs out of ways to shuffle the money around. dow futures are already down. if you look at the market right now, they haven't even opened yet, but things are looking potentially scary for tomorrow. i think that alone is going to motivate these guys to get a deal together within 48 hours. >> the markets hate uncertainty. we know that. you talk a lot about the house and what needs to happen there. what about in the -- or the senate, rather. you mentioned them and they'll be at work on monday. what does the house need to do? what kind of difference could they make? >> they will be absolutely pivotal in all of this because they feel like the senate is going around them trying to cut a deal, which they've done in the past. because the house has just been a bit gridlocked within their own party. it's run by republicans. there's a conservative faction that wants things their way. that's slowed things down a little bit. i think republicans are going to be part of the reason that in the house anyway that think that

get funding deal that's closer to what conservatives want. any deal has to go through the house. i get the speaker, john boehner, and republicans there really want to hold the line on spending. >> with senators reid and mcconnell meeting today and all ears and eyes on what might have come out of that meeting, how critical are the two of them to a resolution? >> absolutely. if the two of them can agree on something, this will be something similar to the mcconnell-biden deal that helped resolve the last big debt ceiling fight. this time it's reid. it'll be reid and mcconnell. they'll work something out. if they can move something through the senate, that will put so much pressure on the house that you're more likely to get a deal through congress. remember, the house and senate both have to agree on the same bill for it to get out and become law. if something passes in the senate, what that does is put a whole lot of pressure on the house to do something. that's what's happening right now. if reid and mcconnell can do something productive in the

next, say, 24 to 48 hours, then the house is really going to have to move. all eyes will be on speaker john boehner. >> susan, great to talk to you this evening on "the fox report." thank you. >> thank you. and as we told you at the top of the show, there were thousands of veterans all marching on washington today, some in wheelchairs, demanding an end to the government shutdown. many of those protesters broke down the barricades surrounding the world war ii memorial and our own greta van susteren was right in the middle of it, speaking with a trio of powerful conservatives, senators ted cruz and mike lee and former alaska governor and fox news contributor sarah palin. >> why are you here down on the memorial this morning? >> i'm here to hopefully help show the veterans that america's heart for our veterans is immeasurable. we think it's atrocious that our military is being used as political pawns in a political game. we're going to change that.

we appreciate these guys who are the good guys in the senate picking up the fight for us. but there are a few things that we can do to show our support. that's why i'm here. >> senator lee? >> this belongs to the people. we're here to show our solidarity with them, that this is not a tool to be used against them in a political fight. this is theirs. >> senator cruz? >> our veterans should be above politics. it is shameful that the administration is barricading and trying to shut down the memoria memorials. weeks ago the house of representatives passed funding to open every memorial in this country, and president obama and the democrats are blocking it. they're trying to play games. the american people know they're trying to play games. they need to come together and fix this problem and stop holding our veterans hostage. >> well, you can catch the rest of greta's interview with governor palin and senators lee and cruz as well as a one-on-one with governor palin at the memorial on monday's "on the record." that airs 7:00 p.m. eastern only
