bret? >> mike, thank you. president obama seems to be digging in as this critical weekend approaches. he's standing defiant in defense of his embattled health care plan and is refusing to negotiate on a debt limit extension as well, that deadline a little more than two weeks away. wendell goler tells us where that leaves us tonight. >> reporter: this time the president claimed the threat of a government shutdown isn't about reducing deficits which are already falling. this time he said it's most about undoing obama care and he said that's not going to happen. >> those marketplaces will be open for business on tuesday, no matter what, even if there's a government shutdown. >> reporter: mr. obama urged republican lawmakers to consider the impact of a shutdown on an economy that's still recovering too slowly. >> that's why many republican senators and many republican governors have urged republicans to knock it off, pass a budget and move on. >> reporter: as he spoke, federal agency heads indi

i'm bret baier. this may be one of the most important and difficult weekends of the obama presidency. the commander in chief struggled again today at the g-20 summit to get any hint of traction for his plan to attack syria. tonight, chief white house correspondent ed henry reports with the president with the back against the wall returns home and takes a major gambut next week. >> reporter: the stakes could not being higher for president obama. now comes home to face an even more fractious congress and the nationally televised address on tuesday. >> there are times we have to make hard choices if we're going to stand up for the things we care about. i believe this is one of those times. >> reporter: except many of the president's fellow democrats are not buying it. even after a series of classified briefings. this is personified by alan who is wearing a neck tie declaring? >> the american people don't want it. >> reporter: and they gavelled the chamber into session to start the clock running to begin

i'm bret baier. one senator has definitively grabbed the spotlight in the battle to defund obama care. getting the ire of some, the adulation of others. and one thing is clear, people are talking about tax senator ted cruz and they're talking about obama care, too. with a government shutdown potentially just five days away, the question is what happens next with this effort to fund the government without funding the president's health care law? we have fox team coverage tonight. ed henry is at the white house with what critics charge is some fuzzy math to polish obama care's image. but we begin with mike emanuel. good evening, mike. >> reporter: good evening, bret. the bill moves forward after a marathon session on the floor and passing a procedural hurdle. >> on this vote, the yeas are 100. the nays are zero. >> reporter: the bill passed an initial vote although it defunds obama care. all say they want to avoid a government shutdown and top democrats plans to strip the aspect affecting the health ca

welcome back. >> thank you, bret. the predicament facing president obama on syria can be traced to two notions that shaped his foreign policy from the start. one is his evident belief that america and its foreign interventions are a big part of what was wrong with the world. the other was or is his apparent view that his mere presence in office would change the attitude of the world, and especially the muslim world, toward the u.s. neither of these ideas has proved out, but the president who is thought a bright fellow has been slow to learn that. unfortunately he was quick to pick up on another notion that congress should be bypassed on recess appointments to immigration laws to the employer mandate in the health care reform law. now he goes hat in hand to congress to obtain authority he said he doesn't need to engage in unilateral intervention he once decried, in a middle eastern country whose leader shows no regard for mr. obama himself or his red line warnings. it would be comforting to think syria is proving a les

we are back with dan henninger, bret stevens and matt kominsky joins us.he argument is we have no national security interests in syria so let's stay out. >> that argument is wrong. we have vital international interests this. one is to make sure chemical weapons, which are weapons of masteror aren't used and aren't shared with hezbollah. syria has been trying to supply hezbollah with these sophisticated munitions. we care about the use of those weapons. we want to make sure syria does not become a training ground and safe haven for terrorists. the fact is al qaeda has gotten stronger the longer this war has gone on. the longer we allow it to fester and continue, the stronger al qaeda becomes. third thing is we are interested in regional stability, particularly stability of countries like jordan. jordan now has 500,000 syrian refugees. it was already straining. >> you think its stability is jeopardized? >> this is not simply syria. >> you haven't mentioned what i think is arguably, at least in my view the biggest one which is iran. >> exactly. i was saving t

columnist and deputy dan heninger, washington columnist kim strassle and foreign affairs columnist bret stevens. this was described as the laurel and hardy presidency, not kind words. what would you sum up this woke? >> the laurel and hardy presidency. beyond that, it's the presidency bouncing off the walls. barak barak we just heard him say has now proposed if they dispose of assad's weapons, we will have that behind us. one has to wonder who he consulted on this subject. chemical weapons are acting as though these are boxes of box in assad's library. it's the most complicated substance in the defense policy. we read the "wall street journal." it's had a wonderful front page story about something called unit 450 in syria. a highly sophisticated group in the syrian army which is disperseing the chemical weapons to 50 different sites. the idea that we're going to somehow find them and dispose of them is really as we say backless. so one wonders if the president is simply acting on ideas as they enter his mind. >> the argument from the white house is this was actually brilliant diplomacy.
