store empty-handed. >> i can't imagine that happening in the u.s. usually that happens in the third-world countries. >> reporter: people who was electronic benefits cards were out of luck today. >> i came out and i tried to use my card to get some food, and they're down. i tried every subway, and nothing is happening. all through the city, it's down. i don't know what is going on. >> reporter: this man said he relies on the card and doesn't know where his next meal is coming from. >> i don't know how long it's going to be down, but i know i'm hungry. >> my daughter hasn't been able to use hers. she needs to eat.

numbers. even though both sides the claims have been productive, something is slowing these discussions. i asked both sides earlier tonight what the holdup is. >> they definitely have the resources available but they seem to be fixed on certain points and it seems more political an economic. >> we hope we get this thing done. whether or not we don't and they do, that's up to us. we don't stop the train. >> reporter: those trains could come to a halt on monday with people trying to find another way to work, in fact crippling the commute. when they finally speak to the cameras, they speak in code and trying not to say too much, but it seems they're agreeing on smaller issues, but not so much the bigger issues, the money. so if something doesn't give soon the bay area could turn ugly first.

the senate where it looked like they might be making progress. collins hoped the pro proposal could gain bipartisan support. >> the plan she suggested that i've seen and in writing, it won't go anyplace at this stage. >> reporter: still the plan is what both sides are talking about today, although it may not have enough support to pass the senate, the parties will need some framework if they hope to break the stalemate. this morning they met for an hour. they have no further talks scheduled for today but said they might talk by phone. this evening he was called with another hope of meeting. >> reporter: the house is not expected to be in session on

sunday. as for the senate, they would like to see a deal in place the next 48 hours. but the latest talks are still in the very early stages. >> san francisco's cliff house is back in business. the restaurant and bar is privately owned but it sits on federal land. so when the government closed its door, it had to, as well. the owners briefly reopened on monday before they shut them back down. late yesterday they relented, and it was opened. >> the same can-do spirit that helped win world war ii helped this festival go on. >> reporter: a replica is here telling the war story, not the scary stores but stories of

nappieration -- stories, but story reese ofies of inspiration. betty would usually be here in her park uniform but this year she's not allowed to wear it and the rangers are out of work. >> my uniform meant much to me because i don't think most children of color see enough park rangers to be able to choose that as a career path. >> reporter: the festival goes on in a privately owned former ford plant. ships were built here. >> i think there was 747 ships produced. >> i want the young people to
