7:35 am
stuff on the table, but there's some other things, everybody ev starts off on the table, andand that begins, that processpr begins, if they want a super committee. whatever the republicans want,ls if they say, okay, we will openp the government, and extend, and not default on our debt, i thinh you will have people at the table by end of november. but, but, if there's some precondition, i mean, first of all, the sand is shifting. at first we're going to d delaye obama care. now we want to start talking about the budget. i think that iths a good thing. >> a gree with you on thii agre. this is all about spending. >> i didn't say. i did >> what is the budget. >> budget includes revenue andad it includes spending. >> i understand that. so this is u about spending. we clearly don't have the
7:36 am
revenue which is why theth president wants to raise the debt ceiling so this is about spending. a gray witagree with thank you,n sit down where this country is $17 trillion into debt then youo can have. >> that should be a revenuenue discussion. the reason we are in this bind is two fold, number one the bush tax cuts turned out to be a disaster, they did not help the economy and we spent money on two wars. >> let's talk more about the th debt ceiling issue. i thought it was interesting. i don't think a lot of people realized this, house leader, nancy pelosi, saying that he made a big mistake on pledging l not to raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval. we could have avoided this by taking the debt ceiling out of equation. >> depdepogo ahead, peter.
7:37 am
>> whenever we get to that th witching hour. we don't default on anything an because we can pay our debts. it's not like we don't haveve money coming in.ney we are getting $200 million off income. we can pay the interest on the debts. we can do a lost things, theth debtin ceiling is so we can sped more money.more that is a situation we have raya problem with. >> what does the debt ceiling do? of your question isonis that the 14 amendment which wasa written specifically part of it to deal with the debt question. there's a lot of legal analysts and a former president of theesd united states, bill clinton who said you can do this. i think what the president doess not want to do in this case is s to act unilaterally. i think he wants the responsibility to be spread about. the debt ceiling increase is is because the congress passes legislation, bills that appropriate money and, then theh
7:38 am
have to pay the money. now jim is not quite accurate oe this in that some things won't o get paid right away. contractors won't get their money. small businesses will be in some trouble. 80% of it is already in the pipelines, but 20% of it -- -- >> this is all about spending then. >> jim. >> it goes back to the biggerbi question.ques >> if congress wants to not appropriate certain appears of moofney for certain things, they can do that.do >> they're allowed to do that. >> right now we're in a situation where the ehtconomy is started to move forward, we're -- where unemployment rates wer coming down, where we were doing better internationally. we just unfortunately because the president couldn't go on thh asian summit. now china is filling ta void. it's not helping our economy. we're losing $300 million a daya because of the shutdown. it's going to cost $2 billion. 2 and physical conservist like
7:39 am
republicans should be concerned about it. >> this is a spending problem. we're $17 trillion in debt. >> real quickly. qu who do you think out of this, who is going to be to plame outl of this whole -- blame out ofof this whole shutdown. i know you said it's the other side. a lot of us are thinking we elected these folks, they're're here, but here it's different in washington we look at differently than the folks fo outside of the beltway. but they see that their representatives are doing what they want. >> it's hard to say a year from november.nove jim and i have been playing an attorney in politics. they're mad at everything. they're furious at everybody, but if you look at the one racen right now where the government shutdown in its physical crisis is playing, that race is virginia, cuccinelli is in deep trouble. my prediction is cuccinelli loses this race for a number ofe reasons, he was so far away being with ted cruz the other day. there's a problem right now for the republicans of virginia.
7:40 am
>> what was the question again? >> who is going to be to plame out of this. >> i -- blame out of this. >> peter is right, there's going to go to both houses.house the senate is not going to agree. there's as much to blame as as everybody else, but peter is right, next november is a longlo time from now. hopefully we can remind folks that harry reid.re >> always appreciate seeing you. >> all right. r >> back after this. ig

8:08 am
>> this could be horrendous. the compensation checks depo too family members, and it servings as a substantial amount of their income, depending on their situation. it makes living one's life that much more difficult. it's something we don't want to see. >> going back to the death benefit, briefly. it's not being paid now. >> correct. >> when won gues congress gets s there's an expectation that it will be paid retroactively. >> there's some hope, the idea has been floated around in congress, as early to date congress can pass a bill, you know, to -- and sent to the president's desk make sure that the funds get to the family members sooner rather than late in that particular place, and talking today retroactively. >> there's a hope.here a >> it's just a matter of time. obviously, congress when theyesw learn about these gut-wrenching incidents, taking in all the details, and making the
