i hope harry reid reconsiders. the constituents in nevada who elected him they are hurting because of obamacare and there are thrie00 million americans who are losing their jobs and who are at risk of losing their health care because of obamacare. we need to listen to the people. >> how dowry spawned to those who say you took this entire situation 21 hours close to brinks man ship by carrying out a speech that fundamentally and technically and procedurally couldn't change things. >> the purpose of the filibuster is trying to frame this debate for the american people. they will try to focus the american people on the disaster that is owe -- obamacare. it uses the words of the lead democratic senator who wrote the bill. the nightmare that is obamacare to use the words of the teamsters. we accomplished a great deal. if you look at what the conversation has been in the past month or the past week more people are focusing on it not working. it is not ready for prime time. 24r* are reasons the exemption want exemptions.

don't stand with harry reid. don't give reid the power to fund obamacare. it's making a difference. >> the reason you want to vote no on cloture is as soon as you do, harry reid needs just a simple majority to strip out the defunding provision of the house c.r. is that it? >> that's exactly right. there are republicans trying to tell constituents that votingmr yes on cloture means you support defunding obamacare. i will just point oung, sean. harry reid will vote yes on cloture. every single democrat will vote yes on cloture. the reason is simple. they know if you get 60 senators to vote yes that harry reid can fund obamacare in its entire uh ti. i think we ought to have all 46 republicans unite. we should stand together with the house republicans as one and say, we don't support obamacare because it is hurting the american people. it's killing jobs, threatening the health care of millions of americans. we are going to stand up and fight. >> i uh i want to ask you about it. first to the exchange with corker of tennessee. i i will follow up then on what you

harry reid, senator reid and president obama haven't wanted to negotiate anything or change anything. >> what happened to the medical device tax, congresswoman? what happened to that one, and did that one disappear and that was a problematic one because it opens a bigger hole in the deficit, $30 billion over ten years. >> the medical device tax is very important to us. we would like to see it repealed. the medical device tax is really threatening medical innovation moving forward, and the senate rejected it. it was very disappointing that they rejected that after 79 senators earlier had voted to repeal the medical device tax. >> all right. >> i've got to leave it there. as always, ma'am, appreciate you coming on the show. >> good to be with you. >> now, we're about four and a half hours from a government shutdown. we'll talk about how that's going to affect stocks and a lot more in the next half hour. it's a special edition of "the kudlow report." please, stay with us. the american dream is of a better future, a confident retirement. those dreams, there's just no way we're going to le

i don't think that harry reid should shut down the government.hing significant, which is they passed a bill to make clear that regardless of what happens the men and women of our military -- they should be paid. that passed unanimously in the house. and listen, right now, harry reid and president obama had been essentially holding the military hostage, threatening their paychecks over this potential shutdown. they might force. i think regardless of what happened we should pass the bill. we should not have a shutdown, which means harry reid has to move off his absolutist position. you have been multiple compromises from the republicans, and can you tell me what the democrats have done to compromise -- >> but what has he done -- as i outlined before, you have lost ground from even the summer on the position of getting people to vote with you. you lost ground from that position and you haven't persuaded one democrat. you have got to be democrats if you're going to overturn this thing. >> well, actually, joe manchin came out saying he supported the d

today the motion i filed, harry reid objected. if he had not objected we would have taken a government shutdown off the table. if harry reid and the president are saying unless they can force funding for obamacare, unless they can force obamacare on every american family, they are going to shut down the government. the way we stop it is standing up to them and saying, look, fund every bit of government. >> the house did that. >> the house has voted to fund government. it's harry reid who is trying to stop this, who objected today to doing that. >> all right. when you were on the program last week, you and senator lee were very, very clear that you would do everything in your power to get there. does that mean filibuster? tell me where you think this end s. i don't know if you have a crystal ball. where do you think it will end up uh? >> i'm going to use every procedural means available to me to fight this fight. >> including filibuster. >> this is a multi stage fight. >> everything including filibuster. this is a multi stage fight

there is very little new harry reid can learn. he has a closed mind on the issue and doesn't care even when the culinary union, one of the most powerful democratic players in nevada and las vegas is going nuts as they figure out how obamacare will adversely affect them. >> i don't know where he gets the chutzpah to call it a waste of time. this is the leader of the united states senate. he knew september 30 would roll around. he knew it would be a problem. as i said before, he took a five-week vacation. >> sure. >> he took off. he knew it. the reason they are doing a continuing resolution is because they didn't do their work to do a budget. talk uh about a waste of time. you are looking at him on the screen. he has a lot of nerve ebb to say anybody else does. >> right. remember what the goal of the senate democrats was. they have a budget that spend s $1,058,000,000. nearly a hundred billion more than the democratic president agreed to in their budget agreement in july of 2011. harry reid now two years after the agreement which re

that depends on harry reid and president obama. if they decide they want to force a government shutdown we will have one. i don't think we should. we should keep the government running. it would be irresponsible for harry reid and president obama to force a shutdown. if that happens, we've had many shut downs in the past, hasn't been the end of the world, i don't think we should have one now. if that happens the very effective tool the house can use, because part of the games this administration is likely to play in the shutdown is try to pick the most sympathetic instances and hold them hostage like the debt ceiling, they want to threaten a default to scare the american people. if there's no rule that says the continuing resolution has to cover every bit of the government. if harry reid forced a shutdown with president obama, i think it makes a lot of sense for the house to pass a continuing resolution first on the military. we'll fund the military. no matter what happens we should never threaten to cut off funding for men and wom

if they flip flop, harry reid has procedural problems. they're trying to put on political pressure.y'll do one more thing, pass a companion bill to fund the pentagon and troops in the event of shutdown so troops aren't left without pay. >> we heard from senator harry reid say he is not dealing with any piece of legislation that does anything to obama care. what are you hearing from senate staffers. >> reporter: he said that. they're saying the same thing. procedurally it is pretty interesting, we think we know where this is probably headed based on the arcane procedure baked into this. the way this is structured harry reid will have a pretty easy time killing the two amendments that i just described, the senate which is likely now to maybe come back sunday we're hearing instead of the originally scheduled monday. harry reid would only need 51 votes to kill the obama care delay that house republicans want to try again on. he wouldn't need the magical 60 votes ordeal with ted cruz or anything like that. on the medical device tax, same goes. he only needs 51 votes. the only question is

senator harry reid is furious with the gop but will any of this affect stocks and the economy? and syria has missed one deadline to give the u.n. an inventory of its chemical weapons. the second deadline is coming saturday. are they going to cheat and retreat once again? john kerry is pressing the russians to finish a u.n. deal on syria that has real military teeth. all those stories and much more coming up on "the kudlow report" beginning right now. >>> good evening everyone i'm larry kudlow. this is "the kudlow report". the house is expected to approve a short term spending bill tomorrow. it will lock in the sequester savings and defund medicare. democrats warn the republicans are forcing a government shutdown. it could be 11 days away. let's get the very latest from nbc's steve handelsman who joining us us live from washington, d.c. >> reporter: the plan tomorrow is to defund obama care and john boehner is pushing it. he's the one who has said that he was opposed to any notion of a so-called government shutdown, and any notion of a government debt default. boehner lost an in

going or keep fighting about obama care. >> i believe we should stand our ground and i don't think harry reid and barack obama should shut down the federal government. the house voted to fund the federal government. if he kills that, harry reed is responsible for that. don't fund obama care because it's hurting the american people. that's in senate democrats want out because it's not working. >> we'll talk about that with senator mccaskill of the next segment. we'll stay on top of the battle of the budget. it should be interesting. >> thank you, chris. >> syria's initial inventory of their weapons stockpile. and a massacre at the washington navy yard. 20 years with the company. thousands of presentations. and one hard earned partnership. it took a lot of work to get this far. so now i'm supposed to take a back seat when it comes to my investments? there's zero chance of that happening. avo: when you work with a schwab financial consultant, you'll get the guidance you need with the control you want. talk to us today. help the gulf when we made recover and learn the gulf, bp from what happened

do you remember the date that harry reid -- last week, the leader, harry reid, on the pbs "nevada week in review," senate majority leader harry reid was asked whether his goal was to move obamacare to a singlepayer system. his answer was yes, yes, absolutely yes. now, do a lot of the people know what a singlepayer system is? that is essentially socialized medicine. i want to signed of relive. you said some of the more seasoned ones. i was around during the clinton administration when there was a thing called hillary health care. does my friend from texas rather hillary health care? mr. cruz: i -- i do indeed, and i remember in particular at the time the press, all of the gray beards in washington saying at the time hillary care was unstoppable, can't be stopped. you need to accept it. republicans need to get together. if you will recall initially, the response was something widely described as hillary care-lite. back then in the midst of the hillary care fight, there were a few courageous leaders in the house who stood up against hillary care. and what changed that fight, what changed

where exactly it goes from there depends on what harry reid pushes. if what reid will do is gut the house bill, if what he'll try to do is take this out, not let us have amendments but put in only his amendment to strip the defunding language we have to oppose it. >> it goes back to the house and then what? >> we keep fighting and the house does something. the house helps us. we help the house. we have to stand behind the house to show the american people we are standing with them. we'll do what we can to protect them from obamacare. >> news out of the irs tonight. the official at the center of the scandal lois lerner after a summer of being paid administrative leave is retiring. the same lois lerner who pleaded the 5th. >> i have not done anything wrong. i have not broken any laws. i have not violated any irs rules or regulations and i have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee. after very careful consideration i have decided to follow my counsel's advice and not testify or answer any of the questions today. becau

right now, harry reid thinks that the house republicans will blink. we are not ready to blink. we are not blinking. we are taking no doz. our goal right now to make sure that we do what we've been told to do and sent to do and that's get it right with obama care. >> all right. but i just can't see -- unfortunately, i can't see the house republicans giving in on this or caving and i can't see the democrats in the senate either because the democrats in the senate are as passionate about their position as the house republicans are. >> but the american people want us to do something about this bill. and so, it isn't just my way or the highway on either side. we think a big compromise because -- remember, the bill we sent over to the senate was defunding of obama care forever. forever. so what we're saying now is defund obama care for a year. completely delay obama care for a year. and take a look at that bill over the next year. that's what we're saying so we're -- this is what -- i'm not saying that's what the position will be tomorrow. i'm saying that's what a large group was in

and, yes, i think harry reid is -- his spine is just where the president's is on this.resident today. he's just not going to negotiate on that. and frankly, i don't think he should. i was listening to the congressional debate you just had, and i thought steve was actually sounding kind of reasonable. but the thing is, they're not really being reasonable. what they should be saying is, we're going to keep things running, we're not fooling around with the debt ceiling and we're going to sit down and try to fix things. mend it, not end it. that's not where they're coming from. they want to end it. >> robert, almost everybody agrees that the individual mandate, the whole thing has been a disaster. glitch after glitch after glitch. so many constituencies being affected. i don't care how good the computers or software, no government can run a fifth of the economy, period, end of sentence. >> what about medicare? >> they won't do it. they can't even transfer the data from this obama care to medicaid. that's one of the other issues. robert costa, what happens to the gop? do the

now harry reid is suddenly the guy for fast action.here was he when they took a five-week vacation? >> should have been here. and september 30 seems to happen every calendar year. >> i have noticed that as well. >> i'm not sure why this is a startling fact. it's as if we saved the day by beating the deadline of october 1. can you imagine any business -- fox news, my small business -- running my i books based on the day before all the bills start getting due for the next cycle? >> why don't others see it that way? everyone is busy talking about the continued resolution, but no one understands the job of creating a budget and agreeing on a budget was never met. so this is sort of -- one job wasn't done. now a second job to cover up for the first job not done can't be done. it's like hiring a secretary for your secretary who isn't doing the job. it doesn't work. if you look at the last four year where is the senate had no budget whatsoever, the fact that we have a budget now is a laughable document simply because it needs another trillion

the senate majority leader harry reid made it clear it would not fly. saying to be absolutely clear the senate will delay both the delay of the affordable care act, we are still at square one, this from harry reid, republicans must decide whether to pass the cr, the continuing resolution, or consider a government shutdown. big question, since the senate democrats are in control in the majority of the senate. we've heard this back and forth in the senate, the legislation has pingponged, they could conceivably be blamed, unless there were republicans who tried to overtly shut it down, the house tonight is expected to pass this legislation, send it to the senate where it already has been deemed dead on arrival. >> deja vu, all right, carl cameron, fox news contributor, you know, i have to say that ten days ago when i spent an entire week interviewing poll analysts, pundits and politicians on capitol hill, they all assured me that no, there will be no government shutdown come midnight on monday. well, does it look to you like they were all wrong? >> well, i

and harry reid and president obama's position is we won't even talk.y have been missed in the coverage, but it's a good sign of washington working the way it should. today a piece of legislation was passed. the house of representatives passed a bill sunday morning that says regardless of what happens if there's a shutdown or not, we're going to fund the men and women of our military. for weeks president obama and harry reid had been threatening the men and women of the mill their their paychecks would be lost. today harry reid did something good, something i praised him for, so the senate unanimously passed that. that will go to the president's desk for signature today. that's a step in the right direction. that is ensuring that our soldiers and sailors, airmen and marines are not held hostage. >> so at least a bit of bipartisanship. i want to take a quick break, continue this conversation. there's a lot at stake, as you well know. much more of our conversation can senator ted cruz. tweet us, using the hashtag sitroom. over 20 million drivers are insur

if harry reid forces a government shutdown, that will be a mistake. i hope he backs away that he's pushing us towards. if harry reid shuts the government down, what he will be saying is american families don't get treated as well as we treat giant corporations. >> now, a "wall street journal" editorial board is suggesting the president is to blame writing that his refusal to negotiate suggests that he wants a shutdown. his agenda idying on capitol hill because of senate democrats as well as house republicans. what's your reaction to the claim that it's really democrats who are refusing to budge and they're the ones leading us towards a shutdown? >> it's an effort to spin off the responsibility that the republicans rightfully own, trying to drive the entire economy off the cliff with its huge impact on the creation of jobs and the momentum of our economy. certainly they don't want to take responsibility for it. but it's not going to succeed. the path that they have been advocating for is delusional and it's destructive. >> house republicans argue that

we don't know for sure how harry reid is going to tee this up.est assured i will use any and all procedure mean wes have in front of us. >> neil: conservative mike levin was saying the way for republicans to throttle this through their own minds is to even risk losing for a cause in the event it puts a stamp on your passion. i'm paraphrasing here but used the example of republicans who stood their ground and stood with ronald reagan in 1976 and came within a lick of seeing him almost beat president ford for the nomination to really achieve victory in overwhelming fashion for years later. what do you think of that mind set, stumble, lose, before winning with something bigger. >> well, let me say three things. number one, i know for sure that you lose 100% of the battle that you begin by surrendering, and all these republicans who say we can't win, if they want, these rarous pundits want us to surrender, that will make sure we can't win. number two i'll point out, in many ways, we're winning right now. look, this vote today was historic, and two we

democratic parties between republicans and this president and his chief capitol hill ally senator harry reid. invoking cloture to threaten filibusters aiming at pushing about a house republican legislation that would be funded the bank breaking unpopular so-called affordable health care act. a law that even some democrats acknowledge is far too expensi expensive, unworkable and a crushing burden on taxpayers and the world's most advanced health care system. majority of americans oppose obamacare. but that fact is not often reported in the national liberal media as they cover the battle now in the senate over which party will prevail on the issue. speaker harry reid earlier today made it clear he is willing to reject the house bill that funds the government but the funds obamacare. senator reed is taking ownership in effect of any government shutdown by rejecting republican house ill. the matter how he constructs the argument, it is his. >> any bill that funds obama and health care plan is dead on arrival in the senate. affordable care act has been the bottom of the land for years now. willin

>> i am glad to invite to the microphone our distinguished majority leader in the senate harry reid. eremy peters, help us walk through today. >> the senate will move quickly to dispense with the house bill and take a matter of minutes. the bill goes back to the house and will be stripped of republican policies like the one-year delay in obama care and the opt out for employers who don't want contraceptive coverage. at that point it's all in john boehner's hands. he has a difficult choice to make. he can put a bill on the floor that contains none of these policies which of course will enrange the conservative base. this was the issue that a lot of them campaigned on and put them in power in 2011. more and more republicans are starting to ask him to do that. he's under a lost pressure from elements of the party to put a clean budget bill on the floor. now, if he doesn't do that, the house that seems most likely at this point will send him back a bill that has a couple other items in it. one could be a repeal of the medical device tax and another one could be a provision that makes memb

bob, why did harry reid cancel the vote?y reid has been trying to herd democratic hats for the past week and he's quite a bit of a problem doing so. he can't find a democratic vote. you look at a lot of mod r moderate democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told thatod moderae democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told thatd moderat democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told that moderate democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told thatmoderate democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told that the leadership both houses, neither will call a vote if they think the president will lose. they do not want to embarrass the president. now, am i hearing that right? are you hearing something like that, as well? >> that's correct. first of all, from what i hear from my house sources, it will never come to a vote in the house unless it first passes the senate. and right now when you have harry reid delaying a test vote until wednesday, that m

harry reid has rejected it. he said the extension of government funding that i put on the floor is also short term but through november 15th and a one-week delay wouldn't mean anything. democrats are saying if we're not negotiating now, why would we negotiate over the next several weeks. also republican conservatives in the house have also rejected mcconnell's proposal saying that's too weak for us, we need something stronger. we want to continue to go after obama care so it doesn't look at this stage that mitch mcconnell's solution will be the way out. >> john, i'm sure it's not the last we'll see of you this afternoon. thank you so much. is the market reading this right as we're down triple digits or is this a buying opportunity. joining us we've got david sourby, michael, mike thompson, hello, and our own rick santelli. that you all for joining us. >> absolutely. >> i want to kick it off here, they have weakened a little bit but i wonder are people overlooking the fact that the big fight might be around the d

if harry reid kills that, harry reid is responsible for shutting down the go and should listen to the american people, fund the government, but don't fund obamacare because it's hurting the american people. it's not working. >> but not everyone is on board. other high-profile republicans, like senator rand paul of kentucky, and senator tom coburn of oklahoma, are saying the g.o.p. just done have the ability to stop or defund obamacare. >> we heard a lot of tough talk going into the weekend, and of course we heard some fresh reaction. what are the president and his allies saying about the measure to defund the healthcare law. >> they say the republicans want to deny health care coverage to millions of people. the president him saying the g.o.p. defund egg effort, quote, it is not going to happen. this in spite of polls showing the majority of american people do oppose obamacare. >> i'm not surprised there's confusion. these guys have one running around the country, demagoguing, scare mongering on this issue. they're not afraid it's going to be unsuccessful. they're afraid it's going to

harry reid is off somewhere. is all the evidence you need to know that they want to shut down the government. >> i feel like a brother where art thou, only it many the senate. they were two preoccupied to work yesterday. they are too busy to come back today. we are here to work. and the senate has been absent for two full days. >> we are less than 32 hours away from a government shutdown. and where is the senate? they are not here. bill: that was yesterday afternoon on the steps of the u.s. senate. the government shutdown looking more and more likely about it hour. the deadline is midnight tonight. starting 1:00 a.m. 37 hours will have passed since the funding of the house bill and 37 hours since the senate has even convened. where are we? are we shutting down? >> the problem goes back to january of 2011 when democrats were whispering all over capitol hill. if we can republicans to refuse to capitulate they will get blamed and we can get the majority back in the house. that's bent conventional wisdom since the ma

they call on harry reid.leaves a signal that they are eager to be done with this. >> this is an effort that was organized by the house. the house is enacted. the senate leadership in the house and the leadership as well as the president needs to act. we've heard from the president, we've heard from the senate democrats that they think it should be a clean cr and a clean debt ceiling. you know, that is taking the easy way out. and that's the foolishness that got us into the place and has frustrated the american people that they see status quo coming out of washington, d.c. and we're here to say -- we're here to -- >> excuse me -- >> he was elected by the american people. >> ma'am. ma'am -- >> reporters. >> sit down. >> if i may, if i may. is. >> i was elected. i represent -- >> you have individual constituencies and -- >> we are representing the people that we all work with. >> what are the option s? >> we're waiting for the senate to act. >> they need to have the debate in the senate. the unaffordable law is
