budget issues may be combined with the debt limit that congress may essentially deal with it all at once. problem is we just didn't know how or how soon. >> all right. nice to see you. thanks so much. now to more charges and new details in that high speed motorcycle chase. the fourth person arrested is facing gang assault. his lawyer say the charges are overblown, but prosecutors say he played a key role, they say he's the one seen here smashing the driver's window with a helmet. he's being held on $75,000 bail. police are also looking for two more persons of interest in the case. meanwhile, senior law enforcement officials tell nbc news that one off it duty undercover cop witnessed the suv driver beating, but police sources say he was so undercover, he didn't want to step in. internal affairs is investigating why it took him four days to come forward, but this morning we're also learning more about a good samaritan who

violent clashes have left at least 51 people dead. what started as a peaceful day marking a national holiday turned to mayhem as supporters and opponents of morsi poured into the streets and turned on each other. hundreds were injured, most in cairo where the battles between protesters and security forces raged for hours. it was egypt's highest single day death toll since mid august. tragedy in a monster truck show in mexico over the weekend. an out of control truck plowed into a crowd of spectators saturday killing eight people, including at least three children. 79 others were injured. the driver is being held on suspicion of manslaughter p. some witnesses said he appeared to have hit his head inside the truck as he drove over the cars. the local governor says alcohol was detected on his breath. it is team now for some sports. and richard lui, welcome home. >> it's good to be back. so much football to talk about from sunday. the question is, who is the

>> everyone on the gulf coast isn't complaining. they were looking at the possibility of a strong tropical storm and it didn't happen. karen just fizzled. didn't even bring any rainfall to the region. what's left of what was once a strong tropical storm almost hurricane is now actually approaching areas from tampa northwards into the south by sarasota and port charles, also. so some of that rain will go through this morning and that will be about it. there was a big strong cold front moving through the east that brought severe weather over the weekend to the midwest and ohio valley and it has a chance of doing so again today. rainfall is lined up over pittsburgh. but when the front arrives, we will see strong storms, maybe especially isolated tornado or two. so we're talking new york city, philadelphia, baltimore, washington, d.c., then up the hudson value into albany, new york. and as far as the timing on the storms go, d.c. 2:00, philadelphia 4:00 to 5:00, new york city right around 5:00 to 6:00. so that will tell you when we'll have the worst airport delays. so again strong storms rolling

through the northeast. they will only last about a half hour, but when it come through, make sure you're inside. >> and we did it dodge a bullet with karen. >> so far. maybe we won't have anymore storms this year. >> thanks, bill. just ahead, the late ellen thomas said jfk was too fresh on a date. a and what are the most danger recent states in america and are you living in one of them? we'll reveal the top five when we come back.

the clean cr and nancy pelosi is saying the votes do exist, but then you have john boehner saying they don't. so how do you think this is all going to play out? >> that's really interesting. what you'll see this week when congress gets back into session is the democrats trying to put the pressure on the white house, a as well, on boehner to bring the senate bill to a vote in the house. but so far he's shown no indication he'll do so. i think republicans and the way john boehner is talking is that each day that goes on as we get closer to october 17th, they think they will turn on the white house because the president cannot let the country default. so we're looking at both sides digging in their heels and trying to shatare each other do. the american people are obviously growing more concerned. >> and in the meantime there are about 100 member of congress who said they will actually donate their paychecks until charities until the shutdown ends? is that true or false? >> they say they will do that and that's a good pledge. obviously it's a short amount.

but really that's symbol electric. the white house has been asked whether president obama or biden will do this. they're saying the government should be open, the military is calling back about 350,000 employees. so that will -- and congress is now saying we'll give back pay. so that gives a little security to the federal workers, but services are shut down. if you try to go out to a federal park, you won't have much success. the bigger deadline with the debt ceiling is just into next week now. so i think this is getting even more and more serious as each day goes on. the pressure is ramping up on both parties. democrats might get a gain in 2014, but what does that do to markets and the american people. that's the question they're facing. >> let's talk obama care for just a second. another key part of the legislation with the health exchange has have gone live. what seems to be the general consensus? >> the white house is saying don't judge us on this first week where president obama acknowledges there has been real problems with this website.

it's been overwhelmed by the interest, the white house says that's a good problem to have because people are interested. they're shopping around. they say they will eventually be able to get their insurance. but ultimately i think they're looking at a six month window and that will be how to judge it. >> david, always nice to see you. join us more on whiften. coming up, a 9-year-old stowaway in plain sight. plus puppy power, this you have to see to appreciate. woman #1 ] why do i cook? ♪ because an empty pan is a blank canvas. ♪ [ woman #2 ] to share a moment. ♪ [ man #1 ] to remember my grandmother.

but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it

as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

weekends, he was there then, too. nicest guy. he had a sister with kids. he would go up there for the holidays. he always seemed kind of frail. sad for help and his family. >> a big loss. and bill, you have some football? >> this is a sports story, but not really. more of like a culture story. jerry jones, owner of the cowboys, they're worth about over $2 billion. he was caught over the weekend using what looks like a flip phone. he's 70 years old, so maybe we can give him a pass for that. >> but you owns the palace of football. >> to the point now of making fun of everybody who has a flip phone, you're the uncool kids group? >> pretty much, yeah. >> i just got rid of mine last week. i've always had the work i phone and then the flip phone. >> so we all know halloween is coming up. bill has no wrd what he'll be. >> not yet. >> we'll take a look at a couple comes fumes. yea or nay.

what do you think? spaghetti and meatballs. >> cute kid. >> a whoopi cushion? and how about this, sharknado. it was a good one. "way too early" is up next. american people respect when we have a crisis like this that the leaders will sit down and can have a conversation. and i told my members there may be a back room somewhere, but there is nobody in it. >> john boehner was talking on sunday and obviously no back room deals over the weekend. the federal government still shut down. democrats want to vote on a clean cr. so far not getting it. despite a shutdown, military ops up and running. they catch an operative considered one of america's most wanted and he may be tried in a criminal court. and there is a good reason why i'm not a movie critic. this just looked cheesy to me.

turns out it's not and it broke box office records over the weekend. this is "way too early". morning everybody. brian shactman here, monday october the 7th. we have a full recap of baseball playoffs and football in sports. also the best of miley cyrus on saturday night live. but we start with the government shutdown. finding a deal to reopen the federal government now appears to hinge on the debt limit, as well. john boehner signaled that with the debt limit closing in, he's ready to negotiate even if the president says he is only willing to once the government is fully funded. >> i'll tell you what, george. the nation's credit is at risk because of the administration's refusal to sit down and have a conversation. >> they're saying it's at risk because of your refusal to pass a clean debt limit.

there have been -- >> we are not going to pass a clean debt limit increase. the votes are not in the house. and the president is risking tee fault by not having a conversation with us. >> testimonies and even some republicans are calling for a vote on a clean resolution to fund the government, one that does not involve the president's landmark health law by an nbc news count, if it were brought up on the floor, it would be within reach of passing with as many as 22 republicans supporting it. many republicans have questioned the strategy they have been taking accusing senator ted cruz of leading the party down this path to deadlock. an unidentified republican law maker told a roomful of reporters, quote, i would liken this to gettysburg where a con federal unit when looking for shoes and stumbled in to union calvary and found itself embroiled in a battle it didn't

intend to be in. meanwhile administration officials and some republicans fundamentally disagree over just how severe reaching the debt limit for defaulting would be on the u.s. economy. >> it's just not responsible. it's reckless and irresponsible to say we'll bring all that down if we don't get our way. congress needs to do its job and then we need to negotiate. the president wants to negotiate. >> is the president ready to watch this country go into default rather than negotiate with republicans? >> the president believes that the responsibility of congress know the consequences and that it doesn't need to happen. they could vote today. they have a majority to do the right thing. >> will he not come to the table at all even at the arriving ris default? >> i don't believe any of them want to default. they will need to look at how come they let a majority in congress work their will. >> i think it's irresponsible of the president and his men to even talk about tee fault. there is no reason for us to default. we bring in $250 billion in

taxes every month. our interest payment is $20 billion. tell me why we would ever default. we have legislation call the full faith and credit act and it tells the president you may pus the interest on the debt. so this is a game. >> if you thought in a post bin laden world the u.s. might relast its focus on al qaeda, you might think again. there are new details about a pair of command dough raids targeting two top leaders in africa. the raid centered on the leader of al shabaab and top al qaeda leader who was in libya. a key ally of osama bin laden, u.s. commandos in three it different vehicles stormed at al-libi's car in tripoli. he reached for a weapon but was quickly subdued. he's suspected of being the mastermind behind will the bombings in 1998. the bombings left more than 220 people debt including 12

americans. he's been indicted in new york for conspiring with al qaeda which could mean he'll face a criminal trial instead of a u.s. military trial. secretary of state john kerry says the message is clear. >> the united states of america will never stop in its effort to hold those accountable who conduct acts of terror. and those members of al qaeda and other terrorist organizations literally can run but they can't hide. >> in a separate raid some 3,000 meals away, commandos stormed a beach front home in somalia in p a attempt to capture the leader of al shabaab, but heavy gunfire was exchanged forcing them to abandon the operation. meanwhile in egypt, at least 51 people were killed and hundreds more injured as more violence erupted in city streets.

security forces and protesters clashed as many were celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1973 war with israel. many neighborhoods in cairo resembled combat zones after street battles raged for hours. supporters of ousted muslim brotherhood leader mohamed morsi threw fire bop bombs at police. since morsi was removed, hundreds have been killed, imprisoned or fled the country. the process to eliminate syrian chemical weapons officially under way. the united nations says inspectors have started destroying syria's stockpiles and a the equipment used to create them. this is the u.n. team returning to theirascus after day one. the range of item includes might go sell warheads, aerial bombs and mixing question. there is a nine month deadline to completely eliminate the

his parents were sitting in the back of the plane. the flight crew became a little suspicious when they realized the boy wasn't on the roster of children traveling alone. vegas police and child protective services took him into custody and are currently arranging his return to minneapolis and i bet he will be accompanied on that trip. we have more updates in the attack on that suv driver in new york city. authorities have confirmed that two off duty new york police officers were apparently riding undercover with the biker group that is at the center of this alleged beating. the nypd is investigating why the cops didn't entintervene. one came forward days after the incident. their identity has not been released. about a week into the shutdown, stock market hasn't really done much. the dow is off about 50 points since the last time the federal government was open for business. cnbc's steve sedgwick live for

us. i will say i looked at the stock futures, they're pretty low this morning, correct? >> yeah, absolutely. european markets have decided they have had enough of this and around about a percent down for the ftse 100 here in london. xetra dax and cac 40 in france all down. u.s. markets on friday managed a bit of a running between 0.6 and 0.9, but we are down now nine out of 12 sessions which of course includes the period before the shutdown and during the shutdown, as well. volatility indicators coming off, which means people are less worried about the down side risk it appears. elsewhere, on twitter we saw details of the ipo. they earned $47.5 million from selling off information that they have gathered and elsewhere, twitter ratings for tchl v shows. highest activity on twitter does not mean the most eyeballs on that show. >> blackberry, there was one offer on the table for the struggling phone maker and now

there might be more? >> yeah, here's the thing. private equity was bidding $4.7 billion. but what i was wondering, if this company is worth so much money in terms of its messaging service, its cash pile, the customers who still use blackberry oig, where were the industry buyers. now it appears the likes of cisco and google and s.a.p. are taking a look at certain parts of the business and may be interested this buying that which makes a lot more sense when you think about it gech given the valuation on the bid. >> of course they have the push technology with e-mail and their patents are valuable, too. steve sedgwick, thank you very much. an out of this world opening for the movie gravity.

went to the texans and was awesome. now not awesome. 9ers win. arlington, game of the day. peyton manning and tony romo, almost 1,000 yards passing. this one 57 yards to eric decker. that set the tone for the game. neither offense could be stopped. nine touchdown passes in this one, fourth quarter game tied at 48. romo always makes one mistake, right? and that cost them. denver kicks the winning field goal win it 51-48. they improve to 5-0. meanwhile new jersey, the other manning brother, not quite as efficient. he did okay early, but late in the game, that just looked ugly. tosses the interception. next play, nick foles in for

injured michael vick. he played really well. they win 36-21. g no team in nfl history has ever made the playoffs after starting 0-5. i mean, yeah, they might want to tank it to get picks. chiefs and titans, first quarter, tennessee punting on fourth down. the ball will hit the heel of damian williams, bounces toward the end zone. one thing about losing possession, but then getting a touchdown for tennessee. they're undefeated. andy reid undefeated 5-0. chicago another undefeated team, saints and bears. just before half, quarterback drew brees dumps to pierre thomas he takes to the house. 26-18. by the way, my patriots lost. let's go to baseball.

morning. the storm really was a no nothing storm overnight. and over the weekend. the storms though out ahead of the cold front, it's very humid on the east coast. bring the umbrella. pouring just north of atlanta up through asheville. charlotte will get wet during your morning commute. right now pittsburgh is getting light rain. and eventually this will intensify and become pretty good thunderstorms across the east. we could have damaging winds and maybe an isolated tornado or two anywhere in the yellow, that includes washington, d.c., baltimore, right up the i-5 corridor to new york city and then up the thruway. so be aware in the northeast, you'll see a line of storms go through and it will be strong. significant airport delays when those storms come through. and this will put an especially to it, this will be all gone by tomorrow. so today is probably the worst travel day of the week. middle of the country looks fine. we're melting that snow from last weekend out there in south dakota. >> thank you, bill. coming up on "morning joe," john boehner draws a line in the sand saying he doesn't have the
