are you with congressman charlie dent on that?s, our house conference will get together and have a conversation about what the best strategy is moving toward. how we keep the fight up on obama care but also how we keep the government open. what we're going to do in our conference is have an open dialogue with people who have a lot of different opinions about how we should move forward. what we're doing is exactly what our leaders in government should be doing. barack obama, harry reid, are john boehner should be sitting down talking about their differences just like we'll do in our house conference. listen, obama out golfing, harry reid has been gone for 36 hours. you don't get resolution unless people sit at the table, work together and try to bridge divides in policy and ideology. >> are you going to speak out during ta republican meeting that's about to begin? what you say to your fellow republicans? >> listen, i think many of us want to keep the fight going on obama care. as i look back to my home district, my constituents don

you heard charlie dent making the point, again, he is a republican. that there is bipartisan support to do that. there is bipartisan support to do that. democrats are meeting soon as well. my guess is that they will say, please put this on the floor. a clean bill. we will vote for it and it will be over. the problem is that same problem that we have seen over the past week and frankly months and years since john boehner has been in the speakership. that is to do that would mean that he would have to face, and his rank and file would have to face, the wrath of conservatives who are extremely powerful and very conservative districts, saying you gave up too fast. even though the sand is almost at the end of that hourglass. >> so the sand ultimately ends, this is happening 12:00 midnight tonight, so we can watch the volleying back and forth, but that is the hard and fast deadline. we're going to come back to you and keep the live pictures up as the u.s. senate is voting on this government funding bill. stay with me here. again, if there is no agreement wh

that the hope of people like peter king and charlie dent of pennsylvania is that this would make it impossible for republicans to pass anything except a bill to fund the government with nothing attached, but they would have to do it with almost the entire democratic caucus supporting it. it would have to be a true bipartisan vote. but we would really be back to square one and they would have to scramble to figure out how to deal with this. even though 17 republicans out of 233 doesn't sound like a lot, they are having a lot of trouble getting enough people to vote no and make a stand as peter king said to me, enough already. we're ready to move on and stop this march toward the government shut down. >> we're going to get back to dana in a second as we get the results of that vote. and of course there's another vote later this hour, which is a crucial vote from the house of representatives. of course the president spoke today, has refused to negotiate so far with republicans. that's our second story here. and i want to bring in jim la costa on that. you've heard dana talk an a little bit about

i spoke to some members going in today, charlie dent from pennsylvania says a clean, republican, a cleanovernment funding bill would pass tonight if it went on the floor as did peter king of new york. there's an idea floated around here to keep in mind this is all fluid, that mitch mcconnell is perhaps putting forward a one-week government funding bill extension to come out of the senate. there's hesitancy about from senate republicans we hear on that by putting the house colleagues on the record for that type of vote. dave camp, chairman of the house ways and means committee told me that's something that they could possibly take a look at. from where we stand right now, tour'e, you'll have a repeat of saturday night from the house republican conference. they are going to put forward this bill they know will be shut down by harry reid. then it goes back to the house and then john boehner has a decision to make. does he shut down the government or put a bill that could get democratic support, which is the clean one and move forward, or is there some miracle hue deanny, something out of th

congressman charlie dent called it a fool's errand. these are republicans. congressman peter king says he's tired of having ted cruz call all the shots. congressman devin nunes attacked the tea party faction. they're all giddy about a shutdown. these are republicans. they don't even have their own part united on this. >> the fundamental problem here is boehner has never led his caucus. he's allowed a handful of his most extreme members to lead his caucus. and he has been following behind him ever since. off the record colleagues have told me that frankly they're embarrassed by this because it does amount to a temper tantrum. it's the utmost irresponsible thing that i have seen the tea party caucus within the republican caucus do in the two and a half years i've been here. >> well, speaker boehner, if he called a vote he could really do something that's great for the country. we'll see. >> he needs to fall on the sword and do it. >> or raise the sword and stand up for something. >> there you go. >> congresswoman karen bass and krystal ball, thank you for your

there's enough moderates, charlie dent, king, nunez from california who would be more than willing to move on this issue. but they adopt want to give up this fight quite yet. after the 2:00 p.m. meeting, i suspect we'll hear about something new related to the president's health care law they are going to send back over to the senate and put it back on harry reid again. playing hot potatoes. grand context, it's absolutely fascinating, yesterday, the day before this horrific shutdown on the horizon, not one meeting between boehner, reed, president obama. democrats are really, really, really not going to throw boehner a life raft this time saying you want to shut it down. it's the west wing episode, shut it down. go right ahead. they are playing hardball. >> richard wolffe, go ahead and make my day. that's what we're hearing from democrats is what luke is saying. the options, throw your staff under the bus. basically slash the staff's pay, throwing them in the exchanges. detonate it, put a nuclear bomb marrying these two together. or let a shutdown happen thinking the same republicans th

as we speak, charlie dent of pennsylvania, peter king of new york, they are working the phones, others trying to get enough votes to stop this on a proposal vote. that vote will happen within this hour, and we'll see if they can do that. just looking at the map of the republican caucus, they probably would need in the ballpark of 20 republicans to go against their leadership and more importantly to go against the conservative base, who definitely would wage political war against them for doing this. >> so basically what they would do presumably all the democrats to vote in favor, but if you're saying 20 or 30 more moderate republicans join the democrats, then they would be able to pass this procedure language to allow the government potential to stay open? is that right? ivities it would happen in the opposite way. the republicans would join democrats in opposing the procedure vote, which would effectively stop house republicans from bringing their plan up for a vote. this procedure vote has to happen first. it's call the rule that sets the terms of the debate on the house floor. if th

it's something pennsylvania congressman charlie dent and i talked about a lot because he introduced legislationuld call for a total and complete ncaa overhaul and reform. he said, you know, this is a problem if these players don't report this. because they think they might not be able to finish and get their degree. he wants to have congressional hearings on it. >> what are the yufrts saying? >> they all aren't commenting today. however, i can tell you that the person who organized this told me that none of the players have gotten in any kind of trouble or been reprimanded for it, but the universities are not talking about it. >> thank you very much. >>> coming up, you will hear from a man who said he was targeted for wearing a turban and having a long beard. 12 people yelled get osama as they attacked. he's not muslim. now new york police are investigating if this is a hate crime. >> plus, as the hostage situation in kenya intensifies, i'll speak with a somali leader about the possibility these suspects could include americans recruited by terrorists. >>> and we continue on hour two. i'm brook

written about that i'd like to share momentarily but i'd like to turn to my good friend, congressman charlie dent, from pennsylvania, as he wishes to share a few conceptings and perspective on this conflict. mr. dent: i thank the gentleman from nebraska for organizing this special order to discuss the crisis in syria. in my view it's indispute thabble al-assad is a villain who has committed heinous mortal crimes with the use of chemical weapons against his own people. what is debatable, however, is america's poll sunny syria and the broader mideast. i have raised the issue of ria with this administration at numerous hearings as a member of the appropriations committee. i've also worked with syrians in my own community and i have the largest community of syrian americans of any member of congress in the united states. i've met with them, they've brought to my attention issues of abdoesn'ted christian archbishops whose wrabs are unfortunately unknown. there's a lot of work going on to try to secure their relouis. but that said, you can understand their concern for that part of the world. i have spe

what we have here are these republican lawmakers -- charlie dent and others -- what we have proposition where both parties are absolutely willing to pass clean continuing resolutions and allow government funding. just keeping the government riders orthout any imperatives attached. speaker of the house do that or shut down the government? because there is a majority in both houses to do it. we saw it in the senate. we know it exists in the house. this should not be about the internal politics of the house republican conference. it is to serious. >> the president's position is he is in favor of a long-term budget deal. it has you get a long-term budget deal without sitting down -- has met, the president with countless republicans including the speaker of the house and made clear his seriousness about a compromise. his willingness to make tough choices when it comes to resolving our differences and funding our priorities, protecting the middle class, and dealing with our deficit. continuing to bring down our deficit, which by the way have been falling at the most precipitous rate since wor
