mr. dennis, i want to be specific what is driving these costs. >> sure. have a lot more to cover. the president is always bragging about the fact that now you know you have all these extra benefits you didn't used to have but they don't come for free. we've been mentioning, every time he said it will not cost another dime, how do you give more without it costing anymore? the answer is a lot of small businesses are paying for these new things by paying higher premiums. >> that's correct. we're also beginning to see some switches in plans that are, going to be required under this law. we're beginning to see certain plans phased out. in fact we are beginning to see that one year after passage. that some of the plans, small employers had were being phased out and new ones adopted and those new ones generally met the specifications, the minimum benefit packages of the affordable care act. david: so they, the small businesses are forced to offer some of them would offer less than what they were in order to pay for higher premiums for everybody but what, how are

mr. president -- >> steven dennis. >> mr. president, i'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about budget process. in the past you've negotiated with, for instance, blue dogs in 2009 and 2010 along with a debt ceiling increase then including a form. you name add fiscal commission. the republicans today are talking about let's have maybe another committee that would work out our differences over the next few weeks. is that something you could talk about on the side, something that wouldn't necessarily be a concession but something that could be a format for getting a deal done? >> here's the thing, steve. i know that speaker boehner has talked about setting up some new process or super committee or what have you. you know, the leaders up in congress can work through what processes they want, but the bottom line is either you're having good faith negotiations in which there's give and take, or you're not. there's already a process in place called the budget committees that could come together right now. democrats have been

dennis, i want to start with you. do you agree there with mr.a gun is a good guy with a gun? >> an eye for an eye makes you blind. you don't respond to violence with violence, and you don't put more police officers in a school. it's bad enough when you walk into a school now, it feels like you're walking through the cook county jail. if it's cold, that line to get in the school, will be out the door. so no, i don't agree. the any of you have friends have guns or arm themselves to feel safe? >> no, not at all. >> so this notion that the gun is the solution is not true? >> not at all. >> so what makes you feel safe at school? >> personally, my school is not so much an education environment, it's more like a prison environment, like dennis said. i have a clear plastic backpack, i have to put it on a conveyor belt, walk through a metal detector, get searched, all of that. and that in itself does not make me feel safe in school, even though it is a safety measure, it makes me feel like i'm going into a prison rather than somewhere that i should love

mr. boehner has not used this up until now or considered using it. >> well, in the past, he has used it on occasion. the hastert rule is named for dennis wasp hastert of illinois. it says if the majority party can't get its members to agree to anything, they won't bring the measure to the floor. a majority of the majority has to say yes to proceed. the speaker has the authority to suspend that rule. if he does that, he takes the risk of losing his speakership, because as we know, there are some members of the house of representatives, the so-called conservative or tea party faction who are insisting that there must be some delay or absolute abolishment of the affordable care act. if speaker boehner wants to, he can suspend the rule, bring the measure to the floor and you'd have a vote. >> it would be a bowed move, but maybe one that is required at this point. thanks, randall. >> two agencies impacted by the shutdown are the national hurricane center and fema. workers had been furloughed at both, but with tropical storm karen, that's her, bearing down on the gulf, the white house called them back to work. >> fema has begun to recall cur
