us in trying to relieve the pain that is being inflicted on federal employees and on the people of this country. >> but at least 15 house republicans are breaking ranks with speaker john boehner and demanding an end to the whole shutdown. that was the president's demand today on cnbc. >> am i exasperated? absolutely i'm exasperated? because this is entirely unnecessary. >> reporter: this sthut down f it lasts a couple of more weeks, which it certainly seems that it could will become part of the debt crisis or the debt ceiling increased fight. president obama said he will not negotiate on that either. >> thank you, steve. tonight this group of federal workers handed out city guides to help them get around town.

they want them to know how much it affects people in our area. they stay they will stay downtown until the shutdown ends. some of them normally working towards the law are spending this day protesting. and now to the impact stretching beyond the federal workplace. >> reporter: good evening. the impasse in congress has federal workers worried. >> reporter: at the air and space museum a protest of furloughed employees normally here. >> i work at the aerospace museum. i'm here because i need my job back. >> i'm a single parent. i have a 17-year-old daughter.

after i pay rent and give her some money. >> federal workers say they didn't see many riders on metro. >> i was the only person who got off the metro at my stop, which is very unusual. >> this small demonstration includes workers who plan to be here monday through friday, all day until the shutdown ends. >> i'm here to stand up for the other folks who can't do this. they have to figure out how they're going to take care of this in regards to their income and their families and their child care, their mortgages and rent. >> these demonstrators are with a disability rights group. they came from across the country to support new legislation to end what they call medicaid bias that forces people with disabilities from

their homes and into institutions. but that legislation is going nowhere as long as the government is shut down. >> it's going to cost americans their freedoms and in some cases their lives. >> reporter: so we are finding the cost of this government shutdown is measured not only in lost wages and lost business, but also lost faith in the government. chris gordon, news 4. >> park workers should be ashamed of themselves. >> i'm not ashamed. >> you should be. >> this woman is doing her job, just like me. i'm a 30-year federal veteran. i'm out of work. >> the reason you are is -- >> no, it's because the government won't do its job and pass a budget. >> hear from the texas congressman and that furloughed

worker after the confrontation at the world war ii memorial coming up at 6:30. the shutdown related furloughs mean an extra busy week for unemployment benefit agencies around the country. maryland's department of labor says they're already getting more unemployment claims than usual from federal workers, and virginia's employment commission plans to provide a special paper application for federal workers. once again as the federal government is caught in a stalemate, the district is feeling the brunt of indecision. tom asked the mayor how the city is coping with all of this. >> as far as the city is concerned overall they're doing well. we don't know the magnitude of the economic impact on the city. when you have the federal workers in the city. many who live in the city.

not spending money. not doing business in the city of columbia. that's bound to have an economic impact. >> tom, it does have an economic impac impact. >> well, it's money they don't have in the bank. the mayor was talking about the economic impact on the people in the city and the revenues. it's about $6 million a day in lost revenues for the city. that's money not being collected from the coffee shop, from the restaurant, from the service industry that helps to make the nation's capitol run. the city has several hundred millions dollars it can use to pay the workers. they pay the payroll every two weeks $100 million. the city can only go one or two weeks without getting in a serious financial problem.

it is normally held to the standard if the federal government shuts down, the district government shuts down. in this case the mayor says we're not going to do it. and president obama and the administration, near of them were challenged. the city said we're going to go on our own. >> and right now it's about the federal workers who aren't spending money. but how many people will cancel their trips to washington with all the museums? >> the smithsonian told me this week this year is kind of slow for the smithsonian. so that's a big issue for those who feed off the issues. and if i have time for one more thing. the house passed a bill to allow the district of columbia to stay open until the 15th. but the republican house is

passing little pieces of the budget. and they are saying they're not going to go along with that. they either want a budget or no. but we are the ping-pong table in which all of this is being played out. yet, another landmark closing shop. the ford sheeter will postpone its run. it was expected to continue despite the shut down because it was privately funded. but yesterday the national pork service notified employees that the historic site will also have to close. it is a play dedicated to matthew shepherd. he was a gay college student viciously beaten and killed in laramie, wyoming.

and a lot going on in sports. what's up? >> yeah, the back and forth. there's a little bit of misreporting. social media madness today. for about one minute today there was hope the navy air force game was on for saturday because of a tweet that navy sent out. but after we spoke to them they said that was wrong. right now the deadline is tomorrow at noon. in the meantime, can you imagine

what this feels like for the navy seniors that have put in their time all these years? for most of them this will be the last big football rivalry game they will play in for the rest of their lives. >> it will be crushing for we do not play air force. it's a huge game that we all look forward to very much. there's a lot of people who are affected by this, you know, more than just our football team. hopefully congress figures something out sooner rather than later. >> that's something all the seniors think about. it's one of the most important games of the season every year. but we all have faith they'll get done what they need to get done. locker rooms are pretty tame, but every once in a while something happens you never see before. we were talking to deangelo hall when an nfl interview came over and stopped the interview

>> let's talk hockey where clothing wasn't the problem for the black hawks, nor was scoring goals. the season opener letdown after they looked like they would pull it off. they scored plenty of goals. and one of the new players was a big part of that. a knee agent in the offseason. he netted a hat trick in the first game. the first to ever record a hat trick on opening night. the team scored four goals but it wasn't enough. late in the third period he puts the black hawks ahead. and the cats lose their opener unfortunately 6-4. okay. it's a tough loss. we talked about it a little bit. they think we definitely had an opportunity to win that game. and some of the turnovers are pretty bad. we played a pretty good game.

>> it's one of those where we played great and so did chicago. we made a couple turnover, but it was a good start for us. they're a good team. kind of gave us a benchmark of where we're at, and we feel good. we will be there live. you can catch all the action on comcast sportsnet. tonight terry francona in his first season with the indians is facing the tampa bay rays for a chance to take on the red sox. boston was with francona for eight seasons and two world series titles. you know he wants to face cleveland. >> come on. >> thanks, diana. >> that's our broadcast for now. nightly news
