eamon javers in washington, d.c.et's bring in colonel jack jacobs and stewart baker former assistant secretary at the department of homeland security. thanks to you both for being here. colonel, begin with you, what does it say as eamon reports said the shelter in place remains in place? what does that tell you? >> i think that d.c. police and the naval aauthorities are trying to be as cautious as they possibly can. it's unlikely that there's anybody left any more shooters. it would be a very strange thing if there were more than one to say nothing of three. but i think they want to be as cautious as they possibly can because the worst thing in the world for them is to say it's all clear and, in fact, it's not all clear. they're going to take it room by room, floor by floor, building by building until they're absolutely certain there's nobody left. >> i would like to ask you with regard to the military base itself is it safe to assume we can say it is not safe to have a domestic military base? you obviously have mili

cnbc's own eamon javers reports some traders may have been ahead of the fed decision. s us now with the details. good evening, eamon. what can you tell us? >> good evening, larry. well, we learned today that the fed itself is contacting news organizations to review the procedures for securing information that's given to the news organizations in the fed's lockup room. that's the area inside the room where reporters get advance information on fed decisions so they can prepare stories for release, in this case exactly at 2:00 p.m. the question here is did anybody transmit any information out of that lockup room before the agreed upon 2:00 p.m. embargo time? the fed is investigating this based on an unusual pattern of trading that would suggest that some of this information would end up in chicago before it reasonably could have. let me show the charts that explains some of these patterns, starting with the e-mini futures trade in chicago on wednesday just in the wake of the fed announcement. the blue line you see there on the left side of your screen, that's 2:00 p.m. now

eamon javers live on capitol hill. plain english please explain to our viewers and listeners what happens if as expected, the senate rejects the house passed continued resolution that they will vote on. >> brian, if they reject that house passed continuing resolution they're likely to send what's called a clean cr or continuing resolution back over here to the house of representatives and force them to decide whether they want to pass that clean continuing resolution or they want to send the government into shutdown later tonight. right now, as we speak, we've got two different things going on up here on capitol hill. as you said on the senate side they are getting ready to do exactly that, strip out the house obama care language and send a clean cr back over here to where i'm standing. this is the house of representatives where we are right now just a couple floors below us actually. the house republicans are gathering to try to figure out within their own caucus what they want to do with the rest of the day today. do

eamon javers joins us with the latest on a mass murder so close to the white house and capitol. eamon. >> reporter: hey, guy, what we're seeing right now is the situation where we know that there are 13 dead here at the washington navy yard including the shooter and we're learning more information about the man who committed this horrendous act at about 8:20 this morning. his name is aaron alexus, he's 34 years old and previous incident on his record that might have raised some scrutiny if people had paid attention to it at the time he got his clearance to work as a defense department or a military contractor in this facility. he was arrested september 4th of 2010 by the ft. worth police, excuse me, ft. worth police in ft. worth texas for recklessly discharging a firearm within the limits of a municipality. that's considered a class a misdemeanor. it was determined there that he was cleaning his gun in that instance so he had folks on lockdown here all day today. as you can see behind me is more police officers escorting out folks from the base as they're being released, being re

let's get right to cnbc's eamon javers who joins us live from the scene in washington with the very latest. eamon? >> reporter: good evening, tyler. i want to update you with the situation that apparently is in progress over at the white house right now. just within the past couple of minute, a lot of secret service activity on the north side of the white house. now we're told, initial reports say that a person threw fireworks over the fence at the north lawn of the white house. now that's right near the camera positions where a lot of the media will be stationed. we've seen a lot of reporters tweeting out photos of the white house north lawn. secret service activity there right now. what we're told is going on there, all this activity is about somebody who apparently threw firecrackers over the fence there, so apparently nothing serious. no shots fired, but a very high alert in washington, d.c. today right now in the wake of this horrific shooting incident here at the washington navy yard which is just about five blocks behind where i'm standing now. earlier within the past hour we saw th

eamon javers is at the scene. tell us what you know. >> reporter: you heard it from the police chief saying that they are now looking for possibly two foenpotential peop white male and a black male, wearing combat fatigues or outfit. black male possibly a long gun of some kind. some reports might be a shotgun involved in the situation. according to the chief, those two individuals may be on the run here in washington, d.c., somewhere. that might explain the presence of the police helicopters circling overhead and circling regularly ever since this incident began, about 50 feet over the rooftops of the buildings. that's just not something we're used to seeing around here. the indication there from the police chief is they are still actively very much looking for two people who may have been involved in the situation and that's the scary news for folks here in washington. >> eamon, it does seem to be a twist because based on the activity lately that appeared to be winding down, there was a sense, it seemed, that per

eamon javers broke the story. he joins us with more details about the fed calling a bunch of people. >> that's right. the federal reserve tells cnbc it is calling certain news organizations to go over the rules surrounding the federal reserve's lock-up embargo on the release of information relating to the fed's no taper decision last week. the question is whether any information left that so-called lock-up room. that's where they give information to reporters ten minutes early in order for them to prepare stories ahead of time. the question is did some trading that's unusual kate the information left that lock-up room. let me show you the trading in question. these are traded in chicago. all of this has to do with the speed of light and telecommunication speed between d.c. and chicago. the blue vertical line on your screen, that's 2 p.m. eastern. what you see is the yellow vertical line is a difference of about 7 milliseconds later in time. according to the analysis firm, information cannot travel faster between d

in the meantime let's bring in cnbc's eamon javers and john harwood. john, i want to go to you first. please set the table for those of us tuning in right now. >> for those tuning in right now, what has happened today is that the senate has rejected the house extension of government funding, which included a delay in the implementation of obama care and also would have gotten rid of the so-called medical device tax, which raises $30 billion over ten years to help pay for obama care. and that meant automatically that a clean extension of government funding went back to the house. the house had a meeting this afternoon. their members decided they were not going to extend government funding in a way that would avoid a shutdown. they're sending a new bill back. once they get it drawn up and passed on the floor of the house of representatives, that would delay the individual mandate, which is at the core of obama care and it would also repeal or get rid of what they call a special exemption for house members and their staffs in how obama care applies to the

eamon javers joins us live from washington with the details. good evening. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry made the administration's forceful case for military action on syria up on capitol hill today, testifying before his former committee, the committee that he chaired, the senate foreign relations committee. kerry said there were a number of reasons to take military action in syria. among them is that america's potential enemies are paying attention. take a listen. >> the world is watching to see not just what we decide, but it's watching to see how we make this decision. whether in a dangerous world we can still make our government speak with one voice. they want to know if america will rise to this moment and make a difference. >> secretary kerry pressed congress for a vote on some kind of written resolution, the text of which is not clear yet. the administration would like that as soon as possible. but kerry was asked whether or not the administration could commit that if they lose this vote up on capitol hill that the presiden

eamon javers has been on the scene all morning and let's check in with him now. eamon? >> hi, tyler, we're getting new information now just within the past couple seconds from the -- and -- i'm told by a producer we're not going to give you this information. very fluid situation here. we have some information that we've been able to develop. we're not going to report all of this, though, until we're absolutely certain of what it is that we can say and that we can confirm as absolutely accurate. as you can imagine, there is a very -- there's a swirl of information around here. we were -- we're going to hold off on this piece of information and give you the other information that we heard directly from the d.c. chief of police who came out earlier today and said just a few blocks from here, that they are on the lookout now for two suspects who may be connected to this shooting situation at the washington navy yard. the first is a black male they describe as about 50 years old, with a rifle or a long gun of some kind wearing a drab olive military uniform. the second suspec

cnbc's eamon javers joins us from washington, d.c. with the details. >> big day, but not much progress made toward an ultimate deal made in washington today. and it's starting to look like tempers are flaring on all sides of the aisle. starting with this war of words that we had between the president of the united states and the speaker of the house earlier today. both men digging in their heels, both saying they're not going to cave in. take a listen. >> no congress before this one has ever, ever in history been irresponsible enough to threaten default. to threaten an economic shutdown, to suggest america not pay its bills just to try to blackmail a president. >> the president says i'm not going to negotiate. well, i'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. we're not going to ignore washington's spending problem, and we're not going to accept this new normal of a weak economy, a no new jobs and shrinking wages. >> now tempers also flaring between republicans on the senate floor late today. take a listen here to senator bob corker.

our colleague eamon javers in washington, d.c. have been collected over the last 24 hours. what do we know right now? >> hi, brian. we're waiting for this press conference expecting to hear a lot of new information and, of course, clear up some of the misinformation that's been out there over the past 24 hours.

. >> you know, john, from what we just heard from eamon javers on the timeline of the possible military action, it could coincide with the federal reserve meeting coming up in a few days. if that happens, how might that impact decision making on tapering or not tapering and just invest -- what investors should be doing? >> i think the way i read it, chairman bernanke will not taper if it has a negative impact on the economy. so there is a whole misch mosh of factors and trying to read his mind is impossible. i can suspect once it's done, once we've seen the strike and hear what the fed will do and i suspect it's nothing taper-like, i can the market can move on. fundamentals are improving and at some point in time they matter again. >> given that, where are you deploying capital? areas do you like? have you changed the year-end targets? >> no, the year-end target is about where we are now, maybe higher. we set those back in october. it's been a good year. the real big numbers for next year a 2,000 target for 2014 which doesn't require a lot of dramatic input, 4 or 5% growth for the next

senator john mccain and a check with eamon javers about what we can expect. eamon, you there?porter: i'm here, can you hear me now? >> yes. >> reporter: been a busy day here in washington so far in terms of syria. already today we heard from the president of the united states who explained why it is that he decided over the weekend in kind of a surprising move that he's going to go to congress and ask for a vote to authorize the use of force in syria. here's the president earlier today. >> i've made a decision that america should take action, but i also believe that we will be much more effective, we will be stronger if we take advantages together as one nation. >> that meeting took place at the white house this morning. it was with congressional leaders, a bipartisan group including republicans, and mainly from the president's perspective, including the speaker of the house, john boehner, who came out to talk to reporters after the meeting and said that he is throwing his support behind the president on the question of syria. take a listen to that, too. >> i'm going to suppor

i've got to switch to eamon javers, our reporter in washington, d.c. will tell us about the house vote. eamon what, do you know? >> they just banged the gavel down and the little mini revolt you've been talking about from moderate republicans has just failed. they need 17 republicans to participate in this vote to block this rule, in order to block this version of the obamacare stripping cr. they only got 6 out of the 17 they needed on the moderate republican side. not enough to do it, so the rule has passed. now they will move on to a vote on final passage here, and that means that this little miniature insurgency that speaker boehner was worried about this afternoon, they tried to get it. they didn't get it, and now we're going to see the conservatives get what they want here in the house of representatives. the big question is if they get what they want on this final passage vote, will they get what they want in reality and law of the land? that looks less likely because the senate says they won't do anything with this bill when the republicans send

eamon javers broke the story yesterday that some traders in chicago may have profited from early access to last week's surprise decision by the fed to continue the stimulus and not taper. eamon joins us with more developments here. what can you tell us? >> that's right, maria. yesterday the federal reserve told us they're contacting news organizations to go over the rules for the embargo of federal reserve information in the wake of an unusual pattern of trading in chicago after last week's taper incidence. we contacted a lot of news organizations that were in that room. several of them have said to us they did not transmit anything early out of that room. two of them, however, have not answered that question directly. let me give you their statements. market news international says they follow the rules set by the fed as we do with all data releases. however, they would not answer a question from us when we asked them if they transmitted any information, any data, out of that lockup room before 2:00 last week. similarly, dow jones also saying, we will continue to work with the fed coop

eamon javers with details on what we're learning about the shooter and hampton pearson looks at what giving contract workers those security clearances at military bases, which is facing new scrutiny in the wake of these shootings. let's start with eamon first. go ahead. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. we had a press conference from officials earlier they said they were acting out of an abundance of caution when they kept this party of the city near the washington naval yard under lockdown for much of the day and other portions of the city. they said in the end, though, they're confident this shooter acted alone. the nbc news investigative unit has but together a picture of how exactly how this happened. the shooter entered this facility, parked in the parking garage with his rental car. went into a men's room here. he did not have the shotgun he brought onto the facility out visibly as he crossed security but he was able to either remove it from its hiding place or assem assemble it in the men's room. we also have a complete list of the names of those who were killed yesterday. i ha

with the grass roots emotion on this issue in a moment, but first we go to capitol hill where eamon javers is monitoring the situation in europe and also, eamon, several committees that have taken up the issue today on capitol hill. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. today secretary of state john kerry is testifying for a second day in a row on the hill. this time in front of the house of representatives, and for the second day in a row he's been met with protesters from the group code pink. they show up at a lot of events up on capitol hill today, and they showed up behind secretary kerry holding up blood red hands to make their point that they don't want to see a new war in syria. nonetheless, kerry making the case, making the administration's case here for this attack. take a listen to what he had to say just a few moments ago. >> as we debate, the world is watching and the world is wondering not whether assad's regime actually did this. i think that fact is now beyond question. the world is wondering whether the united states of america is going to consent through silence. >> reporter: n

eamon javers what's going on? >> hi, brian. nbc news is reporting that house republican leaders have now delayed a vote on a measure that would keep the government running through the end of september. that's the so-called continuing resolution language. republican leaders have hit a snag within members of their own caucus here. the question is whether or not this resolution would force the united states senate to vote on defunding obama care. conservative members of the republican conference want that obama care defunding vote very much. leadership not as committed to it it would seem. the leaders expect to have this vote on continuing the government's funding as early as thursday. now it appears they will need a little more extra time here to work this out within their own coalition and figure out what they're going to do next. the budget battles have begun big time in washington. >> deja vu all over again yet the market remains on highs. hopefully this time we will ignore d.c. and move on with our lives. >> every time i thin

i'm eamon javers in washington, where we've got a new letter now from secretary jack lew, john boehner updating the status of when it is, exactly, the treasury estimates the united states government will be unable to fund itself going forward. the new date estimated by treasury is october 17th. they say, if we have insufficient cash on hand, it would be impossible for the united states of america to meet all of its obligations for the first time in our history. >> the stakes are set and for the u.s. economy, they could not be higher. house republicans have to vote to increase the debt limit to avert a historic default. and today, speaker boehner announced his negotiating position. >> on the debt limit, we're going to introduce a plan that ties important spending cuts and pro-growth reforms to a debt limit increase. now, the president says i'm not going to negotiate. well, i'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. >> once again, republicans will take the economy hostage. the "national review" published the gop's ransom list. in exchange for avoiding default, republicans are demandin

eamon javers breaking the story and joins us now. without getting into quantum mechanics can you explain what happened in plain english here. >> here's what we can say. the federal reserve is contacting certain news organizations to discuss the rules and procedures surrounding the fed's lockup room. that's the area where they release information about the fed's decision to reporters inside the fed headquarters in advance of 2:00 p.m., the hard release time subject to the atomic clock. the subject here is did any reporters transmit any information outside the room about the fed' decision before 2:00 p.m. and the reason they're asking that question, is because of some unusual trading that was spotted by a market analysis firm called nanex. let me bring up some graphics to show you the trades at issue here. first the e-min i futures. it's a graphic on the time line. on the left the blue vertical line is 2:00 exactly. according to nanex the speed of light fastest transmission you can have from d.c. to chicago where this trade igs execute

there are a lot, eamon javers, political tactics playing out. >> doesn't feel like rise above time in washington. the latest information that we have is that the negotiations are really at a standstill over this issue of whether or not to defund obama care. earlier we saw speaker boehner come out and say he's going to make it contingent on a continuing resolution that they defund obama care. take a listen to what the speaker had to say. >> we're going to continue to do everything we can to repeal the president's failed health care law. this week the house will pass a cr that the locks the sequester savings in and defunds obama care. the president has signed seven bills over the last two and a half years to make changes to obama care and i sincerely hope our friends in the senate have plans to make this an eighth time. >> so house republicans saying no continuing resolution no for the government unless we defund an obama care. that is a nonstarter in the senate in terms of the votes and also a nonstarter with the president of the united states and he said why earlier today. take a list

eamon javers in washington with the details. >> it's one of the most difficult questions to answer hereat does it cost to keep the u.s. military poised as president barack obama said he wants to keep it for a strike on syria. take a look at this list here of the u.s. navy ships that are in the mediterranean right now and what you see is we've got four destroyers "the uss gravly" "ramage" "barry" "stout" and the "uss san antonio" is in the med as well. it costs about $7 million a week to operate a destroyer. i talked to a high ranking department of defense official earlier today that told me you can't necessarily attribute all of that cost of the $7 million a week to those ships and say that's what this syria operation is going to cost because those ships would be deployed somewhere anyway, whether the persian gulf, indian ocean, atlantic, somewhere they would be on active duty. not necessarily a $7 million a week per ship cost but this official did say that you can definitely figure out what it would cost to do this strike on syria, estimating about 200 cruise missiles could cost the un

eamon javers with the details. >> that's right. we just heard from the secretary of state over at the state department a few minutes ago. he said he's urging the u.n. security council to take action next week when it meets on syria and chemical weapons. he said the removal of syria's chemical weapons is possible by peaceful means, not by military strikes. but only if the u.n. security council takes forceful action and makes the agreement in geneva stick. here's the stecretary of state just a few minutes ago. >> so there you have. sarin was used. sarin killed. the world can decide whether it was used by the regime, which has used chemical weapons before. the regime which had the rockets and the weapons. or whether the opposition secretly went unnoticed into territory they don't control to fire rockets they don't have, containing sarin that they don't possess to kill their own people. >> so clearly the secretary of state here urging the u.n. security council to take action. but also trying to keep up the rhetorical heat on russia and
