now we can't get ahold of the drug that would knock them unconscious. and i'm thinking, every day in the united states we knock out thousands of people on gurneys in hospitals for surgery. we don't seem to have a problem with causing any pain for those people. so why does it seem to be so hard for the prison system to knock someone unconscious and get the drugs that every hospital is using to do surgeries? >> i think they have to -- it's various oversight. the protocol is so precise. every moment of an execution is orchestrated. it's in the regulations. they only have certain drugs approved in certain states to use for executions. like you say, there are lots of viable alternatives but because they've approved this one drug -- >> that nobody makes anymore. >> that the only u.s. manufacturer is no longer going to make and ran out of supplies in the fall, they had to do this international search for the drug. >> belva: what about the cost of all of this? i think the original study was about $900,000, wasn't isn't it. >> $900,000 just to build this new let

you are seeing freshmen members grab ahold of this concept and bring their ideas. i think the american people like that. guest: talk about the spending debate. house and senate are sparring over the continuing resolution, and john boehner has said if it comes down to having to do a short-term continuing resolution, if the parties cannot agree by march 4, that he will not do a short-term extension at the current levels of spending. from your perspective, does that mean that a government shutdown is on the table then? is this upping the ante? guest: i don't think this is -- it means that at all. i think that this means that john boehner understands what the election was about on november the second. if we continue to kick the can down the road and do a short- term cr, and continue to spend at the current levels, that is agreeing to what the democrat house, the democrat senate, and the administration put together last year. this election in november was about not agreeing to that. so there is no way we can agree to continue to fund the government at current levels. we

was it hard or easy to get ahold of these materials? >> extremely difficult. extremely painstaking. i can almost understand what marie curey went through in the 1880s, 18ate0s just to isolate that radium. >> reporter: but that hasn't stopped some would-be dirty bombers. in 2004 an al qaeda linked terrorist in london plotted to amass 10,000 smoke detectors for a dirty bomb. and in bell fast maine a white supremacist james cummings shot dead i will his wife in 2008 had purchased radioactive material and had literature on how to build a dirty bomb. >> we pretty much try and carry everything in the scientific realm. >> reporter: cummings got some of his radioactive material from this man. he owns a company called united nuclear. housed in a small store front in tiny languagesberg michigan he does a good business on the web selling all kinds of chemicals, equipment and oddities for scientific hobbyists. >> these are isotopes. >> reporter: he sells them to the general public and it's all perfectly legal. >> if you want to build a dirty bomb buying the ice tops isn't the route to go. >> re

but why are they saying this when just about everybody expects the senate when they get ahold of this budget bill they're going to make big changes. >> what comes out of the house will not be what lands on the president's desk. he needed to issue this veto threat which is pretty much as you're describing it an idle veto threat because he had to buck up his troops in the house. the democrats in the house that are fighting against this. i found it pretty interesting he didn't issue that veto threat during his news conference on camera for us all to play because he wants to look like he's tough on cutting the budget so they did it on a paper statement later in the day. >> woodruff: just before that we heard from speaker boehner making the statement that-- and we know republicans talk all the time about they want to create jobs. but he made it clear that if those are government jobs they're expendable. is that the widely held republican view? >> well, republicans have made it very clear throughout the campaign last fall and since they've taken power in the house that they do believe that
