we talked to david leonhardt of the "new york times" and julianna goldman of bloomberg. >> i think that's the real hope coming out of this, is that both sides realize okay, we've played this game one too many times and it's just too dangerous to keep playing. and that's one of the reasons probably the main reason why the president stood so firm in his non-negotiating posture because look, they acknowledge, they negotiated in 2011 around the debt ceiling and it set a very poor precedent that's taken us from count down clock to count down clock. there's some thinking that the environment here is so toxic that this episode might be what's been able to break the fever. >> rose: we conclude gloriously with the closer mariano rivera. >> if you don't have those movements together you create a mess and that's where profession comes. if you have all the balance and you wait for your arm to get into position for you to shuffle that's what you need to do that's why you need to repeat. so the movement, the release, the ending, the finishing on the pitch, all that comes from one package. >> rose: perh

. >> actually, it's been moving so fast all day, i defer to julianna on that. i haven't seen the latest language. >> rose: what's in that senate bill that's going over to the house. >> that was something charlie, that republicans had been trying to get in the past few days so that come february 7th, that was the hard dead line saying thtree any of the extra powers that they've been using for the last several months. that was something that came up in a conversation earlier this week between president obama and mitch mcconnell. they made it very clear they wanted the flexibility to use no, sir extraordinary measures. it means you hit the debt ceiling come february 7th but you have a month to use some of those abilities that the treasury's been using. >> rose: so the whitehouse is estatic about this. they think they fought the good fight, they had the right strategy on their side, the president stood firm and the president wins. >> i don't know that they're estatic but yes everything else. they fought the good fight. the president does come out the winner in this

. >> rose: what about john boehner julianna what does this do to him and his desire to be speaker, to continue to be speaker? >> this is something what's interesting. a lot of reporters were asking members, republican members of the house as they were coming out of their meeting this afternoon. nobody wanted to weigh in really. i think that what it does is it empowers boehner for the next round of fights. it's unclear whether or not this really imperils his speakership especially since we're seeing the poll numbers for tea party republican. there's a poll that came out just this afternoon that shows 49% unfavorability for the tea party in this country. that's up from 37% in june. >> rose: finally, there's the larger economic question of u.s. credibility even though we didn't have a default. what kind of damage has been done to reliance on america to get beyond these battles and to get beyond the notion that all they can do is kick the can down the road. >> it's kind of blind faith at this ponent already because if you look over the last couple weeks the president had to cancel his asi

julianna huff cause ad stir over the weekend. well, she went -- i know. we don't normally think of her scaring, just dancing and smiling and stuff. she showed her ignorant side when she showed up at a halloween party wearing black face. like who does that? now you know who she's supposed to be. do you watch that show "orange is the new black." she's dressed as crazy eyes from the show. i don't know what part of stupid or excuse me less than smart she is. who walks out of the house in black face? like wow, julianna. i don't know whose party she was at. you have to figure this. this was like an intentional move. this was not something that happened all of a sudden and she then said oh, this is racist. you put thought in your halloween costume. i know what i've wanted to wear for 40 days. i've been dieting accordingly. i talked to everybody on my staff. i talked to my mom and dad. you talk about your halloween costume. you just don't show up in black face which means she's not just less than smart off the cuff, she's less than smart even when she thinks abou

let's bring in our washington contingent julianna goldman. where is the white house sitting on this right now? obviously john boehner has said you're not getting a clean cr. that's not coming your way. on the other side, obama said we're not negotiating. we're not using all of these moments whether it's the debt ceiling or anything else as leverage points for you to get something you want. so what breaks this impasse? >> you know, willie, it's really hard to see how any side right now has an end game, and the scary thing about this is that since 2011, you look back at this point where we are as we're approaching that same debt limit kind of deadline, threat of a default seems so much more likely now. and the catastrophic consequences for the economy are so great, no one at the white house is sanguine about this. and it's really hard to see how this gets resolved right now before that october 17th deadline. >> yeah. you know, it's day 8, and now it's like truth or dare, or some other game like that. president obama is now telling speaker boehn

. >> hey julianna huff, she didn't even have to do her black face for it and you know who she is. just saying. and i didn't go all white face for wonder woman. anyway, back to pam. she'ses al also running the new marathon on sunday. which is great. for some reason i don't even picture her exercising at all. you know how there are some people you can't picture them in the gym or exercising. that would be pam. but good for you, pam. marathon wasn't last year because of hurricane sandy, so probably going to run extra hard just like halloween last year, we didn't have halloween because of hurricane sandy. this is not what i was going to wear, though. this is a different costume. and then jennifer hudson got a new haircut, too. i love this. i know. lot of you like it, too. let's do the side by side comparison. do you like the longer hair better? another girl after weaving and winding it up, i'm so shocked that she has so much hair, like it's not thinner. and i think she looks beautiful and it really works with her new body and you saw her jaws and lips. good, jen. yeah. so it looks lik

julianna. >> thanks, mr. president. you laid out the economic consequences of the default. but if we were to get to that point, would you prioritize bond holders to maintain a semblance of credit worth rather than social security recipients or military-serving men and women? and how would you go ahead and make that determination? >> i am -- i'm going to continue to be very hopeful that congress does not put us in that position. i think if people understand what the consequences are they will set that potential scenario aside. i do know there have been some who said if we just pay bond holders, we just pay people who bought treasury bills, that we really won't be in default because those interest payments will be made and to them what i have to remind them is we've got a lot of other obligations, not just people who pay treasury bills. we've got senior citizens who are counting on their social security check arriving on time. we have veterans who are disabled who are counting on their benefits. we have companies who are doing business for our government and for our military

julianna margulies and baltimore's own josh charles got together to rebuild six homes in the rockaways. actors were touched by the experience. >> i really do believe that paying it forward. if you take care of your own community, your community will take care of the next community. >> we are here to shed light on the fact that a year later people are still suffering from hurricane santi. >> it's such a crazy business. when you have things like this, it puts everything in perspective. >> don't miss the 100th episode of the good wife. it airs tonight at 9:00 right here on wjz. super storm sandy came through the northeast 1 year ago this coming tuesday. >> good show doing a good thing. >>> should thousands are up and out early today in the name of ending breast cancer. >> they're walking several miles to raise money for the american cancer society. >> wjz is live at the y on 33rd street. >> sharon gibala is there talking to breast cancer survivors and talking about this this morning. >> reporter: more than 5000 people out here at stadium place, and its supporting a cause that everybody is
