not again. nine days to a possible government shutdown. there are ways it might be avoided, but will it? and what if the deposit shuts down? we'll on tell you about one particular fact that may infuriate you. one with of the iphones is already sold out. others are tough to get. is this poor planning on apple's part? in office politics aches sad, fascinating tales from one of the biggest stories she has ever covered.

good morning, everyone. welcome to "weekends with alex witt". the clock is ticking. we are just nine days away to a potential government shutdown. this morning president obama is issuing a renewed call for congress to act. >> we're running out of time to fix this. but we could fix it tomorrow. both houses of congress can take a simple rope to pay our bills on time, then work together to pass a budget on time. then we can declare an end to governing by crisis into governing responsibly. >> to tell him he wouldn't negotiate with him on the debt limit. the speaker was disappointed. >> officials described the call like this. the president reiterated that it is the constitutional responsibility of the u.s. congress to pass the nation's

budget and pay the nation's bills. that phone call came hours after the house approved legislation that funds the government through mid disease but strips out funding for the health care reform law. house republicans celebrated the bill's passage. >> our message to the united states senate is real simple. the american people don't want the government shut down and they don't want obama care. >> so here's what happens next. the bill moves to the senate, where debate will begin on monday. it will likely only take 51 votes to remove the provisions that defund obama care. final votes could happen a week from tomorrow. after that, it goes back to the house, which will then have one day to reconcile the senate bill with its own before a government shutdown.

>> here we go again, guys. they're in d.c. is the government shutdown going to happen? >> yes. that's the conventional wisdom. i tend to be a little bit weary of that. i think in these circumstances we always -- it gets towards the end and people are predicting doom and gloom. that's a lot of posturing. each side has incentive to hold out so they can get as much as they possibly can get. they eventually get some kind of a deal. i don't know that this is necessarily going to happen again, but that's at least been the track record. >> republicans keep on saying they want to defund obama care because they say that's what the american people want. do we have any real sense on the public's thinking on that? >> you know, the public actually opposes the republican approach of defunding the law altogether.

what they want is for congress to work together to fix any flaws that certain interest groups have wanted out. so i think the republicans -- they don't necessarily have the public on their side here but they have a very, very strong and vocal grassroots base that rallied on obama care for several years and they're out for blood. they want something to happen. they're not willing to take no for an answer. >> first, we have the government that shut down october 1st if they don't pass the budget to find it. secondly, if congress doesn't vote to increase the debt ceiling, they will be forced to default on some of its financial obligations. that could be as early as october 18th. who has the most to lose here? which parties will take the blame if these things happen? >> polls suggest it is generally the republican party that would pay a bigger price. the public generally sees republicans as being less willing to compromise on these

kinds of things. the democratic party is still healed in higher regard. at least the polls suggest that. there is also the possibility that a government shutdown or a defougault leads to economic problems. they are generally the problem of a president. there could be two sets of losers. generally polls suggest that republicans would pay a bigger price. that's what president obama and the democrats are banking on as they take this no negotiation strategy towards this debt ceiling fight. >> if there's no negotiating on the debt ceiling, is that the toughest fight ahead? >> i think it could be. republicans outlined a list of concerns to raise the debt ceiling. they would want to rehe peel -- or delay obama care for one year. pwaoeb the keystone pipeline.

i think republican leadership has been urging members to hold fire until the debt ceiling file it's hard to believe it could get any bigger, this battle. but i think we'll see it get better. >> the president described the situation to workers at a ford plant on friday. >> they're focused on politics. they're focused on trying to mess with me. they're not focused on you. >> is this all just politics, or do republicans believe they are fighting a legitimate battle here on behalf of the american people? >> you know, if republicans were just doing what they thought was the most political advantageous thing, they wouldn't be potentially risking a shutdown. the polls show that's not broadly popular with the american people. it may be popular with the republican base. we just had a poll that showed only 27% of people say there

should be a government shutdown if the budget includes funding for obama care. i thought the president's comments were interesting. he's hit republicans for playing politics a lot but has generally not personalize i.d. it in that way. he said they're going after me. i thought it was interesting to see the president put it in those kind of words. >> isn't this all being spearheaded by the very conservative right, the tea party? >> absolutely. senator ted cruz in texas, only been in office of a year, is the leader of this defund movement. some republicans have said on background or to us privately they believe he's only doing this to boost fund-raising roles, to stoke his support and

prepare for a possible presidential bid in 2016. fighting is very interesting. we saw senator john mccain come out and say this defund push that could lead to a government shutdown is irrational. a lot of strong words from republicans to the tea party. and i think those divisions are something that democrats are ready to pounce on. they want to see the gop as divided and week and ultimately responsible for a shutdown if one happens. >> thanks, guys. >> thank you. many americans are wondering what would happen if the government shuts down. half the government workforce would be furloughed. they would not get paid. they would instead is be issued ious. student loans would stall. national parks and monuments

would close to tourists. here's what continues. social security checks, medicare payments, federal prisons, mail delivery would still happen. members of congress would still get their paychecks. a new washington post report top clearance workers in the wake of the navy yard shooting. isis is the very same company that checked out edward snowden's background. now u.s. workers say they are rushed into sloppy interviews and ultra fast background checks. two big stories out of the middle east. first up, syria appears to have met one requirement in its agreement to eliminate chemical weapons. the list is, quote, a good

start. meanwhile, israel is warning the u.s. about new overtures. top sanctions may be forcing iran to negotiate a limit on its nuclear program. good day to you. first up, let's get to israel. what is the concern on a potential thaw in u.s./iran relations? >> good morning, alex. well, it is very worrisome to the israelis that there could be a thaw in the relationship. after ann curry's exclusive interview with iran's president, the prime minister's office released a statement in which they said the iranians are paying press pins. and the international community should intensify the pressure on iran because they say they can't trust iran until four measures

are met. the combination of these four. that's the stopping of the uranium enrichment. the israelis do believe they would be able to have a nuclear bomb in their hand within the next six months. the americans, on the other hand, say there's still time. there's time for negotiation and they're liking the fact that there's a softer side compared to his predecessor,. >> what came out of syria. this list of their chemical weapons. was that expected to soon and is it valid? granted they did have that one-week deadline. >> it was expected, alex.

in fact, there's a lot to be expected by november. within the month of october it was expected that the assad regime would submit a list of the chemical weapons that they say they hold within the country. also within october we expect that international inspectors will be on the ground in syria to comb through the chemical weaponry and cataloging it, comparing it to president assad's list. we should know if the regime is cooperating with the international community or if they have submitted a false list. >> okay. thank you very much. now to severe weather around the globe. aid is arriving in mexico after it was battered by twin storms. military helicopters arrived outside acapulco. and a super typhoon, the

most powerful of the year. maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour. in colorado, crews are work to go contain and clean up close to 20,000 gallons of oil. it happened during last week's flood. the damage destroyed 50 bridges and hundreds of miles of roads. dylan dreyer is here with the forecast, though. good morning to you, dilan. >> good morning, alex. a big cold front is moving through the eastern half of the country. out ahead of it, it's nice and mild. temperatures in minneapolis only 48 degrees. it is going to stay below average as we go through the weekend. this is bringing a lot of rain across parts of ohio, stretching into the gulf coast states, especially today through louisiana. yesterday a lot of rain in houston, through texas. you can see heavy downpours with some of the thunderstorms. we have mixed in here the remnants of what was a tropical

system. we are seeing a lot of heavier tropical like downpours. there is a chance especially right along the immediate coast in new orleans up to four to five inches of rainfall. we have watches and warnings across louisiana, mississippi and alabama as well. so today's forecast up and down the east coast, late day showers and storms. heavier downpours with temperatures into the upper 70s. dallas, 84 degrees. things will be drying out as well. 64, though, in minneapolis. tomorrow, that cooler air does start to spread eastward out behind that cold front. 72 degrees for a high in new york city with increasing sunshine. it starts to heat back up in the plains states with highs in the 80s. for the pacific northwest, though, it looks cool, cloudy, showery with highs in the lower 60s. alex. >> dylan, thanks so much. where do americans spend most of their money? plus, could this be for

one republican senator called shutting down the government over the affordable care act the dumbest idea i've ever heard. i agree with you. with just nine days to go before a wide scale government shutdown, president obama is slamming lawmakers accusing them of playing a risky game of politics. kristin welker is at the white house. hello to you, kristin. is there any negotiating going on behind the scenes? >> i anticipate there will be. john boehner and nancy pelosi last night.

it appears those calls did little to break the impasse. it is chicken over the nation's economy. right now the ball is in the senate's court. >> as washington careens towards a possible government shutdown, president obama is blaming the the republicans in his weekly address. >> i will not allow anyone to harm this country's reputation or inflict economic pain on millions of our own people just to make an ideological point. >> this a day after the house voted to temporarily keep the government running while taking funding away from the president's health care hraufplt but it's a bill that has no chance of passing the democratly controlled senate. >> the american people don't want the government shut down and they don't want obama care. >> but other republicans cited with democrats and slammed the more conservative members of their party. >> the issues are too important,

too serious to require real conservative solutions. >> the big question, what would a government shutdown mean for you? officials say if it occurs, paychecks for military personnel could be delayed. national parks and monuments would close to tourists. thousands of workers would likely be furloughed. and a top business group warned all the fighting will probably force companies to slow down hiring. americans across the country, including kansas city, missouri where president obama spoke friday, are expressing frustration. >> it seems people are busy wanting to show off rather than figure out the right thing to do. >> get down and get your job done like you're supposed to be doing. >> now, if the government does shut down, all essential personnel, including those responsible for national security, would stay on the job. it's worth noting, the president, members of congress

speaker bay near say they didn't want to shut down the government. that's what they came to washington for. it's really a very, very sad situation. a government shutdown will hurt. the government is -- federal government is 20% to 25% of the economy. the bigger fear is the debt ceiling battle we will have in just a few weeks. the american people have clearly lost confidence. we can't govern. and i think speaker boehner has to realize he's got to put his speakership on the line and work with not just democrats in the house but democrats in the senate as well to forge a governing body. >> you said republicans are on an ideological mission.

and you heard the president say they're coming after me. is this ideology or politics or are the two intertwined? >> i think they are always in explicably intertwined. i have a lot of good republican friends that are part of the faction that basically wants to shut government down. they are idealogs. >> are they tea partiers or moderate republicans? >> some of them are not moderate. mick mull vany. i consider him a good friend. he is passionate in his philosophy. what is interesting is people empowering them, the people in the district, that's the political motivation. they are kind of tainted with this obama hatred that is giving

them the enthusiasm to support people like mick, philosophical, conservative members. so it is a combination of the two. there are 140 or 150 others. speaker boehner i have a difficult time. speaker pelosi never would have let this happen. she would have put the hammer down. she was and is a very tough leader. speaker boehner doesn't function that way. he's going to have to or else he's going to bring the government to a screeching halt. >> what about the art of compromise? are democrats, even the white house, willing to make some sort of compromise on any of their

spending bill demands? >> you know, the the senate passed a budget. the house passed a budget. it has named confirmees. speaker boehner won't name confirmees. that's the only space compromise can happen. yes, we want to go to conference and work this out and create a budget that meets the objectives of republicans to help get a handle on federal spending, which by the way, we have done the last few years. and also the requirements of the democrats to continue to invest in our people, in our schools, in our research efforts, in our infrastructure things vital to the future of this country. >> speaker boehner says americans don't want obama care. you heard all the cheers after that. the health care law isn't popular. are the republicans right to some degree about where americans stand on obama care, or is it a problem of not being

properly informed. you went through things saying, false, false, false. has the message not been translated? >> no, the message has never been translated. it's a very, very complicated law. there's no question about that. what's most important is that people want to know how the law affects them. and everybody is different. everybody's health situation and family situation is unique. so it's hard to kind of communicate 300 million different messages which is, again, what people are concerned about their own situation. so that's always been a problem. what we know and anecdotally we know, people may not like obama care, they love the provisions and the protections that are in there, that people can't be denied coverage because of their health history, women can't be discriminated against in

premiums, young people under 26 can stay on their parents's policies until they are 26. they love everything about owe pam ma care except the name. >> okay. what about if there's a government shutdown, does congress continue to get paid? >> congress does continue to get paid. >> okay. you work for the the government. wouldn't that make for a quicker resolution. >> i would support a resolution to withhold our pay until other federal workers were back on the payroll and the government was back in operation. i think it is in comprehensible we could shut the deposit down and then continue to get paid. >> we'll have you back soon. thank you so much. >> my pleasure, alex. good to be with you. >> you too. the "today" show's hoda

welcome to you both as i mentioned your papers are reporting today that employees say they were forced to do rush work in trying to get back ground checks done. is the government vetting high clearance workers well enough? >> i think it's important to note that the contractor who did the single government background check on alexis, there's no evidence anything wrong with that background check. they found one arrest he had at the time. there is no question this episode has exposed what one official told us is that terribly broken clearance system. and essentially you have almost 5 million people with top or secret clearance in this country. and a system that relies heavily on self report. a system where if you see something, say something. experts say there are too many

with clearance to keep track of. >> there was one woman in the article who said she was rushed to do as many as 10 clearances a day. can you put that in perspective. how many would be a nonrush day? >> having never done the job myself, i'm not sure what it would take. but there's no question that people felt incredibly pressured and felt they were not allowed to do a thorough job. they said the questions asked are cursory and just hearing folks repeat back the answers the applicant has filled out rather than probing to find out something that's going on. >> jim, we have alexis's record. not perfect. a couple brushes with the law. one arrest was uncovered. how did he get this clearance? we're talking high level security clearance. >> he shouldn't have had the clearance. the guy had an interaction with the police in seattle.

he shot tires out of the car with a gun and claimed he had a blackout from anger. that incident alone should bar anybody from a position physicians he had been hearing voices before the attack. he says he seemed to be firing his gun wildly. he wasn't necessarily targeting any individuals inside the navy yard there. why are authorities putting out a work place dispute as having been at the center of these killings? >> well that, is one theory they are looking into. i think at this point there is no clear answer about what motivated alexis to go in there and begin his rampage. one thing that is important to note. the security clearance process is not designed to monitor

people two are struggling with mental illness. there are some questions you have to answer about treatment for mental health when you first aploy. if you make it through that first gate, it's very hard for the system to become aware of what is happening. >> that could have been what happened in this case. >> jim, do you think there is anything that will come from these two cryptic messages carved into the today with of his shotgun? >> i mean that's the picture in his mind as deviant as it was t. first one is a suicide ideaiation. it's better that way t. second is showing you his delusions because it probably meant a extreme low frequency, which he claimed to be suffering from. really, that's his mani manifes. everybody appeared he killed. it's a sad, sad case. >> indeed, it is. thank you so much.
