i think important to note that the senate, on a bipartisan basis, has approved a bill. >> uh-huh. >> that has many of the important provisions that we -- . >> okay, let's talk about that. the senate, first of all, we have to say. let's clarify from the very beginning. this has to happen on a federal level. we can't say we're california and we will do this and that. >> this is federal policy. >> yeah. >> this has to be done with congress and the approval of the white house. >> okay, the senate passed a bill and basically in a few words, what does it do? >> it's a important bill, actually. it does a number of things. first of all, and most importantly, perhaps, it creates a guest worker program in agriculture for the country, which is important because a significant part of our agricultural sector is dependent on workers who are willing to do that work. >> uh-huh. >> and so it creates work for the program and does two things on visas. it reuse iss the number that happens -- reduces the number that happens for families, children, and spouses. currently, the visa programs 2/3 this that --

they say they're going to dare the senate to not pass that bill and engage in a government shutdown. he senate will be responsible for that government shut down the republicans say. they also say they think they might be able to get that done as soon as tonight. but one of the members of the congress told me tonight, he said take a nap. this is going to be a very late night, guys. >> no doubt about that. thanks so much. let's continue our conversation up here and what's happening in the market. we do have about 1.5 minutes to go and clearly, kelly, wall street does not like what's taking place in washington, d.c., as we march towards this shutdown. >> the selling pressure is coming off a little bit, that's echoed in what we see here. we were down about 150 points. just as we were getting the news from our john harwood that there likely wouldn't be a bill to avert the shutdown, scott, now a little bit of a rebound. again, though, jitters are the consistent theme of the day. >> let's not forget this is the final trading day of what has been a really good quarter on wall street. don't fo

my friends know that this bill is not going to be accepted by the senate. they sent over a bill that we could have all passed, sit down and work together, and keep this government from shutting down the dysfunction that is occurring because of the republican wing of the party does not make sense to me at all. you're bowing to the extremists, the tea party, who really don't want to see this process move forward. we know that the affordable care act is the law of the land. we know it's been afrmed by the supreme court of the united states. let's move on. let's not waste time. people are out of work. children are not getting what they need in school. the national institutes of health is not getting the resources that they need. let's stop this game. let's stop this dysfunction. let's stop playing games. this is the reality. let's work together and pass a bill, a continuing resolution, and then i'm sure chairman rogers and i could pass an omnibus bill with the senate to move forward with the work that we are elected to accomplish. >> the time has expired. gentle

with time running out, the senate continues rejecting house passed bills since senator leaders are not negotiating, house republicans continuing hammering away at obama care. >> we're going to move here in the next several hours to take the senate bill, add to it a one-year delay of the individual mandate on the american people and get rid of the exemption for members of congress. >> the house is going to take a position today reflecting one very fundamental principle that our country stands for. no special treatment for anyone. >> reporter: late today president obama fired back. >> one faction of one party in one house of congress in one branch of government doesn't get to shut down the entire government just to refight the results of an election. >> reporter: earlier this afternoon, they stripped a delay of obama care and the repeal of the medical device tax by a party line vote. harry reid described this continuing resolution standoff in playground terms. >> you know, with a bully you cannot let them slap you around because they slap you around today, they slap you five or six times

guest: the next step on the senate side will be to try to wheree bill to a markup the committee will ider it, make changes, and vote it out to send it on to cap --action by the full senate. i have not gotten direct words from either senator's staff. they may try to do that in the next couple of weeks. said there is something in there for everyone to dislike. it should happen quickly. from "federallly times" talking about the postal service. the house is coming in to take up the continuing resolution bill passed down from the senate without the mechanism for defunding of the health-care law. john boehner is going to meet with the caucus at noon today to debate the next steps. stay close. here's the house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the chair lays before the house a communication from the speaker. the clerk: the speaker's room, washington, d.c., september 28, 2013. i hereby appoint the honorable chris stewart to act as speaker pro tempore on this day.

. >> the senate is set to debate a bill that would avert a partial government shut down next week. that vote coming an hour after the senator ted cruz 21-hour speech. al jazeera's libby casey is on capitol hill where they're set to vote after that speech. what is happening now? >> reporter: this is a bill to bring the vote to the floor and open up debate. an hour after senator cruz left, he came out of the senate chambers and was mobbed by reporters. this may have been his objective all along, to get attention on his issue. some supporters like mitch mcconnell he's supporting the effort of defunding obamacare but he was not supportive of what senator cruz was doing. senator mccain said i've been here a long time, and i remember when we thought this issue out, the other side won. in 2012 the american people went to the polls. they re-elected president obama. senator cane said i may not like it. he was his presidential contender four years earlier, but he said the people have spoken. we need to move forward for this process and focus on other issues. we heard a funny equip from chuck

bill o'reilly is not senator carte. a joke. >> bill: the column was entitled "the bile of america." you are right. he was trying to get across the discourse. robert reich his discourse on msnbc has not been exactly nice. i am not even going to bother quoting him i just will say that pot kettle black here, you know what i'm talking about? >> no, i do. let me make a point about his appearance on msnbc. he went on a program hosted by a fellow named ed schultz on msnbc to make a point about you, a negative point but and to make a point about the need for civility. professor reich, you are a smart man, to go on a program hosted by ed schultz, who called laura ingraham a wing shut and said republicans are bunch of bastards, those are schultz's words, those that is not the best place you could go about the need for civility. schultz should apologize about the comment on miss laura. be fair about it. >> he apologized. but my point is if you want' a forum to talk about the need for siflght,. >> yeah, that's not exactly the place

bill in the senate, you want to be in 11,000 -- ayman 1100 almost 1200 page bill. and it moves through the senate very quickly. the amendments were very few. they dropped the final amendment which was really the final bill, 1,187 page bill on a friday. they voted for it the following thursday or friday so much like obamacare and we had a problem with obamacare and immigration for the same thing. >> but is immigration a money issue? >> we haven't approached it from a monetary standpoint. we said it is the congress's role. keep america to secure the border let's start with that and that's where we have taken it. and on a principled stand, we had a problem with the process that went through with obamacare we have to be intellectually honest to say if it is happening and the republicans involved even if one were to claim to be a tea party person. if they are doing the same thing then that is still wrong. it doesn't matter who's doing it if it is wrong it's wrong. so we felt it on securing the border and on the process. secure book tv petraeus the second revolution came

there are real differences between what i think the senate bill does. number of good bills that have come out of house committees to do that. there are some big battles going on in fiscal policy. ultimately, i think you will see immigration come back because our system is broken and needs to be fixed. >> do you think it'll come back next year? is there not enough bandwidth for congress to handle the debt ceiling and all of these fiscal issues and immigration? >> and economic issues. we want to see energy development. we want to get more regulations put in check. you have seen so many regulatory policies killing jobs. we have a job that says if a bureaucrat comes up with a regulation should and they go through the legislative process? should congress have to improve it -- approve it? immigration is one of the many issues that we will confront. there are a lot of big issues. i am sure at some point we will get to it. we have good bills that have come out of a number of our committees from some of our leaders that have really worked hard to tackle the probl

people need to understand that they refuse to put up the senate bill which has passed the senate and have an up and down vote and it would pass. so they are literally choosing not to do that to force a shutdown if in fact they failed to do so as they say that they have. and let me show you what the president says that who will be the ones that suffer. he talked about the toll a shutdown will take. listen to this. >> hundreds of thousands of these dedicated public servants who stay on the job will do so without pay. and several hundred thousand more will be immediately and indefinitely furloughed without pay. they are the customers of every business in this country, and they would be hurt greatly. and as a consequence we would all be hurt greatly should the congress shut the government down. it would throw a wrench into the gears of the economy. >> a wrench into the government, hundreds of thousands of people suffering, federal employees that have nothing to do with the bickering. >> that's right. government employees, public servants who republicans have demonized over the years. and

the senate's bill is a short term extension. that's what it is. x-week funding bill, that's all it is, six weeks. we can't pass this, we're only truly entering a banana republican mindset. this is what we look at in other countries doing. the united states, we're going to be funding the government for a week, ten days at a time, not so good. the bottom line then is this, house republicans face the same issue they faced yesterday and the day before and the day before and day before. let the senate's clean pr -- there we go again. i got it. i got it. i got it. let a clean cr pass. and do it with bipartisan support or there's going to be a shutdown of the government caused by them, the republicans. really, without being too dramatic about this. the fate of the country depends on the house being able to vote, the house. all members of the house of representatives. i hope that john boehner makes a responsible decision. one that's good for the country. job protection time is over with. it's time to start protecting the american people, senator durbin. >>

the bill the senate returned to the house would not increase spending, but one provision would cost $30 billion. the majority is wasting time as we get closer and closer to a shutdown, because we all know -- bill will be dead on arrival in the senate. here is an example. small business owners. receiving federal loans to hire and expand their businesses. you. --erans dennis is will be benefits will be put on hold. these are the painful results of the republican refusal to act responsibly. they walked out of negotiations with the president last year, ignored the president posses deficit reduction plan and his budget, they refused to go to conference on a budget repeatedly and they voted down democrat amendments to replace sequestration. now, when it is time to fulfill our most asic task of funding government operations, republicans push us further to the brink of a government shutdown. anyone who votes to amend the senate bill is voting for a shutdown. republicanthe shutdown proposal. i reserve. -- the gentleman from kentucky. >> i yield five minutes from the -- to the vice chairman. >> t

well, the senate did pass that bill today straight down party lines. this after senate democrats removed language that would have defunded president obama's healthcare law. now, to the chagrin of some gop members, house speaker john boehner says he will not support the senate version of the bill. instead, republican leaders are now considering a new bill that would delay the healthcare law for one year. but the president meantime says he will not negotiate. allen, we are now looking at less than three days until the deadline. >> bargaining sessions and having a breakthrough this weekend? >> reporter: well, perhaps. the house has a meeting scheduled tomorrow where they will mull over the senate bill and try to put their heads together and figure out who to get to get 218 members to sign on whatever new route they decide to follow. there's a lot of politics here and rift now within the republican party over this. so allen they are going to have to put their heads together and work it out or not. meantime this potential government shutdown continues to loo

not redundant bills that don't do anything and aren't going anywhere. the senate immigration bill, while of course not perfect, includes unprecedented border and interior enforcement measures. the bill includes increasing the number of full-time border trol agents from 21,000 to 38,405. mandating an electronic exit for custom and border agents are deployed. constructing at least 300 miles of fencing, bringing the miles of high-tech border fencing to 700. constructing additional border control stations and operating bases, mandating 24 hours surveillance on the border region using mobile, video, portable systems as well as unmanned aircraft and deploying the beacon stations. look, it takes getting serious to secure the border, and this costs money and we can do it in the context of reducing the deficit by over $100 billion, such as the windfall from immigration reform that we effectively get to scur our southern border for free and reduce the deficit by $100 billion and improve the social security trust fund to the tune of $4 trillion, giving american seniors the s

after cruz stopped speaking the senate voted to open debate. they are likely to send a bill back to the house with the funding of obamacare removed. with the clock ticking it remains to be seen, even if the house and senate comes to turns, if a government shutdown can be avoided. the republicans say they are ready to take up the obamacare debt fight again. >> for more i'm joined from washington dc by representative keith ellison, democratic member of minnesota and member of the house congress. do you want to address what happened in the senate. ted cruz wrapped up a 21 hour speech, a phil buster of sorts. he was trying to rally opponents so senate members wouldn't amend a bill before sending it to the house? what do you think, if anything, that the senator accomplished? >> i think he proved conclusively that he doesn't want a lot of people to have health care coverage. he demonstrated that the 30 million that will get health care because of obamacare, he doesn't want them to have it. that's pretty much all he did. >> is it as limited as that? he has an argument that there ar

the bill was passed with only one party in power -- the house and the senate. nancy pelosi said we will read it after it is passed. since then, 17 changes have been made by the president to the bill. if the president can adjust and make changes as according to his will, why can't congress make changes when they see things are not working? i believe they should have started with people who do not have any health care to begin with. that should have been the first part of the health care bill. then ijust others is -- just others instead of jamming everyone. insteadaddress others of jamming everyone. be shouldn't everyone joining the health care plan? why should it just be individuals? breakations are getting a . small businesses are crying for a break. unions are crying for a break. red line has been crossed so many times. if you go to other nations, our president is a joke. thisare making a joke of president. what kind of leadership is this? you.ank we could be hearing something seen from the democratic caucus. they had a news conference planned. we will take you

bill now. and on the other side of the political aisle the top democrats say the plan is dead on a arrival. loud criticism from harry reid who said the senators will vote down the house approach. the white house doubling down on the opposition to the bill that would touch the health care reform. the white house said go vote for the bill is a vote for government shutdown. if the president were presented with hj- resolution 59 as amendment the by the he would veto the bill. >> we are hurling to a monday midnight dead line when the united states government would be lights out for the first time since 1995. a busy saturday on the nation's capitol and more to come what we are laying out for not to. we have fox team coverage carl came ronl on cant captain hill and elizabeth cran on capitol hill. >> and carl, where do they stand? >> they are inÑi a ping-pong match. funding is set to run out and each time the house pass says legislation to do that they would defund or derail or delay theÑi president's affordable careanth and the senate said absolutely not. there is rhetoreccal attacks for the republicans and democrats. this is existed for months and

when the bill came to the sena senate, this bill is projected to generate approximately $500 million in new revenue for the federal government over 10 years. when it came to the senate, roughly $400 million in new spending was added to the bill that came out of that $500 million that was generated. and in my view, given the fiscal and economic challenges in this country, that revenue would be better spent paying down our deficit, reducing or national debt than it would be on new spending. and, indeed, and over the course of this week, i've had numerous conversations with my colleagues where i've urged them that if new spending were to be added, for them to endeavor to find other areas of federal spending that could be reduced, that could be cut to make up for that so that we could devote the full $500 million to reducing the deficit. i think that would be the most fiscally responsible approach to be taken. that being said, and for that reason, i have had concerns about proceeding on this bill with unanimous consent, proceeding on this bill, authorizing an additional $500 million in ne

senate to pick five democrats off. i didn't think it would be smart to send the house bill to the senate and we filibuster our own bill.emocratic colleague on record. i think over time they will start joining with republicans because this is such a burden to bear politically. bill: senator, quickly we have to talk about the breaking news happening in nairobi, kenya. it is awful as you watch it. your heart goes out to people strugging through this. there is report out over the weekend possibly americans live egg here joined the al-shabaab movement in somalia. they are fighting clearly as if they're al qaeda terrorists. they're allowing muslims to walk out of the mall. if you can not prove you're a muslim you are shot and killed on sight. >> right. bill: this american connection, how reallies it that americans could have gone to somalia and joined the fight that we're watching unfold in nairobi? >> they're two things in our backyard, radical islamic groups. they are trying to recruit people, fifth column movements, radical islamic terrorists american citizens to join the cause to hit us here at home and recruiting people

harry reid in the senate, let's say they do, then that house bill, that senate bill that went to the house, gets fixed. address obama care. they send it back to the senate. harry reid categorically said, if you touch that bill, it's a no. and they have the votes for no. >> there were 17 days in the '90s where they were shut down. they filled in and got money from here and there. >> fair enough. mean in recent tyimes, like the last few times -- >> 2005 seems like a recent time. >> i think it's the point of many conservative commentators who have taken heat for not supporting the defunding effort. this time around, they haven't. that means that veterans, as you heard the president say, veterans won't be getting their checks. seniors won't be getting their checks. it's an emotional argument to scare the american public. will it work? >> listen, i don't think there's any doubt. all the polls running against obama in either single way, the exception, by the way, obama, people don't like it, it do not want to see the government shut down because of it, the funding of it. i think there's go

no senate bills inside and out. traditionally a ally spoke out in what was a contentious meeting with senate republicans. before going to the floor, he made it clear he is not in favor of shutting down the government. it's a striking difference between the cruz effort and the actual filibuster earlier this year. he was trying to bring attention to the issue that he didn't think was getting attention. he ended up doing that and got bipartisan attention and support from republicans. even republican who is disagreed with him and ended up voting the other way, they showed up to give him support. cruz has just about every member agreeing him in principal and not wanting to stand up next to him. less than a quarter of the conference supported what he is doing and only about a handful of them went on the senate floor in support. rand paul and senator wendy davis endeared members of their own party, ted cruz seems to have fewer friends today than last night. cruz does have an audience and it's a big one. since the senate be

. >> unless we take up the senate bill, we are going to head for a shutdown. >> the bill as amended is passed. >> a day earlier the senate passed a bill to keep the government running into mid november after cutting out a house provision that would have defunded the health care plan. now the republicans are trying to force the democrat's plans. harry reid has promised to reject it. >> i pray, i pray that harry reid and the president of the united states will not shut to government down. >> neither side says it wants a government shutdown but both are eager to blame the other if it happens. >> they're ready do this unless they get their way. >> reporter: on capitol hill, another war of wills with uncle sam's credit on the line. >>> bay area represents took to twitter to today reacting to the gop threat of a shutdown. respective barbara lee tweeted, quote, can't believe the tea party is hold the country and my district hostage. >> respect eric swa will tweeted, i'm committed to making appropriate fixes through the health care act but i won't do it through hos still negotiations. >>> in t

one, if he can get the majority of house republicans to join with democrats to approve the senate bill. or, he can suspend the rules. that would allow all of the democrats and the minority of republicans. given the opposition to obamacare it's unlikely that either one of those skies will take place, and the house will reject the senate bill and then we brace for an economic calamity for those who depend on government funds to survive. >> urging both sides of congress to work together, what can you tell us about that effort? >> reporter: well, governor sandoval was selected by the republicans to respond to president obama. he has touted his ability to work with democrats to reduce spending, and also to increase jobs, and he was the person who urged problem to use some of the same kind bipartisan cooperation he has experienced in nevada. one point about governor sandoval. he is the first republican governor to support the healthcare act. he has put in place the health exchanges and expanded medicaid. notwithstanding the fact that the bit that he was supporting passed by the health of rep

cbs reporter susan mcginnis explains the senate bill would face a tough fight in the house. >>> reporter: the senate will likely vote yes on a bill to keep the government operating through mid-november averting a shutdown at midnight monday. lawmakers will remove part of the bill that kills obamacare, something house republicans demand. >> will you accept the bill? >> no. >> reporter: instead, house republicans will try to attach other stipulations to try to chip away at obamacare. they are said to be considering a one-year delay of the healthcare law on repealing a tax on a medical device that helps fund it. >> there will be options available to us. there are not going to be any speculation about what we're going to do or not do until the senate passes their bill. >> reporter: democrats say republicans are wasting time. they insist they won't negotiate while the clock ticks down to a partial government shutdown. >> we want a clean cr. we are going to have a clean cr. that's what we're going to vote for. we are not going to play any of their games. >> reporter: thursday the president sai

but the senate planned to and did passed its budget bill. that would be the regular order. now we go to the table to reconcile our differences. the minute the senate passed its bill, the republicans abandoned any interest in the regular order. why? maybe they were afraid that people would see the contrast of what they wanted to do in their budget compared to the investment in the future, the statement of our national values that our democratic proposal had under chairwoman patty murray in the senate and chris van hollen in the house. whatever the reason, for six months, they have not wanted to negotiate. and for six months they are saying, the president doesn't want to negotiate. but they are the ones who had the responsibility under the regular order of the house to come to the budget table to reconcile our differences. i salute the president for saying that the full faith and credit of the united states is not negotiable. we will not default on the debt that we have all incurred already. so that is over here. so when he say that is not negotiable, that doesn't mean that we

for homeland security, for energy and water and some other items, yet the senate has refused to vote on any appropriation billsave to do in the united states senate is pass appropriation bills. each time they do so and the house concurs in it, then you freed up that part of the federal government from any risk of a federal government shutdown. so who's holding the hostages when we're trying to set the 99% free but the senate demands that we spend money on a program, money that we don't have that we're going to have to borrow to come up with and a program the people of the united states poll after poll after poll said they don't want. >> the people of the united states went to the polls last year, congressman. where a clear issue was obama care or this affordable care act, and your candidate lost. the united states congress and senate voted it law. the supreme court upheld it. you can fight at the polls in the midterm elections to change that. you can fight and try to get enough senate seats to change it, but to hold up government workers, furlough government workers, to have veterans get their checks late, mil
