that's it for me in washington and all of us in new york. coverage on the debt ceiling showdown, carol costello continues our coverage. >> thanks guys, have a great day. "newsroom" starts now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> good morning. i'm carol costello. thanks so much for being here. well, here we are, it's october 16th and the nation is on the edge of default, in other words, we're staring down the very debt crisis that lawmakers told us not to worry about. i wonder what the reassurances and promises congress could come together at crunch time and not risk an economic disaster. as you can see from the countdown clock the deadline is less than 15 hours away, the debt ceiling closes in, the partial government shutdown drags on and washington's dysfunction is shaming even the lawmakers. >> it's not a big thing or don't worry about it, that's ridiculous. this is a big thing and going to harm not just this economy but economies all over the world. and we're not going to do that. if we do, i think they should all ask for our resign

it's important in washington, d.c. to step up to the plate and fight for something, even if the democrats don't want to go along with it. this was all about educating the public, trying to move the needle outside the beltway. we didn't do that because republicans started shooting at each other. >> aren't there ways to educate the public to your position without furloughing workers, without shutting down the government? >> it's interesting, back in the old days when tip o'neal was the speaker, he shut down the government 12 times and there was this adversarial give and take between republicans who wanted to do some things and democrats who wanted to do other things. we stopped doing that. tip o'neal used his shutdown to force ronald reagan to back off on his favorite program, star wars. we don't do that anymore. now we fund guns and butter and that's how we get $17 trillion in national debt. it's also how we end up with implementing obama care, a program that no one in this town thinks is working. >> there's a lot of co

washington by the numbers. day 15 of the partial government shutdown, less than 40 hours until a potential economic disaster of a debt default. right now on capitol hill, an eleventh hour deal taking shape behind closed doors. senate's top two men, democrat harry reid and republican mitch mcconnell say they're optimistic they can finalize a deal today. later this morning, mcconnell will meet with his fellow gop senators to present a tentative agreement. the biggest challenge is likely in the gop-controlled house. right now, republican house leaders are summiting their troops to discuss what's in the plan and what their next move is. this morning there's a lot of moving parts and not much time. let's get the latest from jim acosta, at the white house this morning. good morning, jim. >> good morning, carol. president obama appears to be quietly working the phones in search of a deal. a gop source confirms to cnn that the president called senate minority leader mitch mcconnell yesterday about this compromise agree

coming up, back to washington. this hour republican house member said the house bill we've been talking about today will be up for a vote tonight. coming up next, can majority leader -- can the house speaker john boehner deliver the votes needed to pass? [ male announcer ] every inch. every minute. every second -- we chip away. making the colors of earth and sunset skies into rich interior accents. or putting the beauty of a forest in the palm of your hands... it will take you to another place... wherever you happen to be. this is the new 2014 jeep grand cherokee. it is the best of what we're made of. well-qualified lessees can lease the 2014 grand cherokee laredo 4x4 for $359 a month. >>> so here's where we are right now. house republicans this morning unveiled this alternative plan to reopen the federal government and to stave off the chance of a treasury default. but apparently, the plan drew some resistance when it was laid out before house republicans, which led house speaker john boehner to concede that he re

that's the next big debate that will go in washington -- that's going to go on in washington between lawmakers and the president. christine romans is in new york to tell us what this report says. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is an urgent special report from the treasury department, essentially telling congress it must act now, it has put the treasury, the finances of the united states in an untenable position and could quite possibly be catastrophic, what happens if the debt ceiling is not raised. let me tell you what a senior administration official told us. he said no telling how bad a default on our debt could be, it could plunge us into something that looks like the great recession if not the great depression. the report finds a default would be unprecedented, has the potential to be catastrophic, credit markets could freeze, the value of the dollar could plummet, u.s. interest rates could skyrocket. the negative spillovers could reverberate around the world and there might be a financial crisis and recession that could echo 2008. it goes on with some supporting

. >>> hello to our viewers i'm wolf blitzer in washington. just moments ago, president obama urged congress to end it. jim acosta is our senior white house correspondent. he's standing by. jim, the president make something comments during a visit to fema headquarters near washington. what did he say? >> well, wolf, as you mentioned, president obama made the surprise trip over to fema just about an hour ago to talk to federal employees over there. he lamented the fact that the shutdown is continuing. said it's impacting the work over at fema. interesting to note, wolf, that the director of fema, craig fugate said at this event 80% of employees have been furloughed as a result of the shutdown. he's brought some of them back over the tropical storm karen. now that karen has passed he's now having to refurlough the workers. that gives you a look into the window of federal workers. sometimes, they're on, they're furloughed, refurloughed. the president went back to the comments he's been making the past several days to get the clean resolution, a c

washington state, the same thing. the federal website is handling sign-up for 36 states including pennsylvania. that's where 25-year-old lauren hartley tried to sign up. >> and then on the third page i asked for, you know, security questions but the page just wasn't populated. so there was some kind of technical glitch. it wasn't working. >> reporter: by midday the president and lcritics were weighing in. >> like every law, every new product roll-out there will be glitches along the way that we'll fix. i have been saying it from the start. we're going to speed things up in the next uh few hour uhs to handle the demand that exceeds anything you expected. >> reporter: a system that's full of glitches. >> that's the word being used today. glitches means it's not working. i don't think those glitches get better over the next few weeks. >> what's going to go on now. >> reporter: in lexington, kentucky, 62-year-old howard stovall runs a business making signs. >> health care costs, like everybody's have been going up every y

the wheels of washington slowly turning once again. and lots of the local businesses across the country, they're getting back into high gear. >> morning, ladies and gentlemen. >> reporter: tourists lined up as the nation's parks, my assumes, and memorials re-opened for business. >> how does it feel to be inside today? >> ask him. >> how does it feel to be inside today? >> awesome. >> reporter: employees are are back on the job after three weeks of forced time off. >> good to be back to work. >> reporter: on capitol hill where most members are fled for their home district, a furloughed staffer got the historic ohio clock ticking again. but as the vice president greeted returning epa employees with muffins, he warned all that time off would mean a backlog of paperwork. >> now they're back and have got all that work piled up. they've got lots to do. >> reporter: for of the first few days back, federal employees say they'll be playing catchup. >> that's the number one thing, is to figure out what did go on workwise for the past couple of w

i'm wolf blitzer here in washington. for nearly an hour now, we've been watching a dramatic scene unfold up on capitol hill. gunshots were heard outside the hart senate office building up on capitol hill. that's one of three senate office buildings. the senate side of the u.s. capitol, one of our photojournalists reporting at least a dozen gunshots were heard. we are hearing that at least one injury, a police officer, involved. and we're hearing also that this incident apparently started close to the white house. 15th and pennsylvania. that's right outside the white house where this black vehicle with a woman driver was making some suspicious driving maneuvers near the white house, and then she was ordered to stop by police, but she began driving. apparently towards capitol hill. and this incident was ended outside the hart senate office building when police used force, apparently, to stop this black vehicle from continuing any longer. that's all we know. we have no idea about any potential motive or anything that might

. >>> also right now, conservatives are rallying here in washington. anyone who thinks they have for gotten about obama care needs to think again. we're going there for a live report. >>> welcome to our viewers. i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington. will it be deal or no deal? that's the big question on this. day 11 of the partial government shutdown. this could be a crucial day in the fiscal stalemate. senate republicans, they came to the white house about an hour and a half or so ago. earlier in the day for talks with the president. as of right now they're getting ready to leave the white house, we're told. let's hope that's a good sign, talks yesterday with house republicans were described as, quote, good and useful. it was the first in at least some progress in this continuing stalemate. jim acosta is over at the white house. dana bash is here with me in the d.c. studio. jim, let's start with you right now. i guess the meeting has just wrapped up. these senators, we were expecting them maybe to come to the stake out over in the driveway outsi

. >>> i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington. today there's the white house briefing room, jay carney, white house press secretary, expected to walk in fairly soon and brief reporters what's going on, answer some tough questions at the same time. this, as we are now in way deep into day three of the government shutdown. another day in limbo for almost 800,000 federal workers who were furloughed and another day of uncertainty for the american people. as of right now, the toll for this man made economic disaster stands at an estimated $900 million in lost federal wages and other economic activity, that according to an independent study by the consulting firm ihs global. 9 $900 million, equal to the yearly budget of the small business administration. yesterday the president invited congressional leaders, democrats and republicans to the white house. a quick talk, more than an hour, but with no apparent results. afterwards the house approved three individual funding bills, one funding the national park service, a second funding the d

this, to me, is an epic battle over washington versus america. and i hope america wins. >> it's almost three weeks now. it started largely because house republicans kept on passing the measured that had some kind of direct impact on obama care and the senate would not take that up. you're still talking about it, sounds like insisting on those measures. they're still a requirement for you to pass anything? >> you mentioned that that was republicans. the last proposal that we submitted to the president, which he rejected was that we delayed the individual mandate, allow it to be voluntary, allow it to keep going but voluntary for americans like it is for big business and then get rid of the special dispen sags created for members of congress. that measure had a bunch of democrats on our vote. i think it's reasonable. i think that ultimately the american people are speaking very loudly about trying to get some relief and i think we ought to give it to them. >> last question. better than fifty-fifty chance that we'll get out of this by thursday? or d

it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. >>> i'm wolf blitzer in washington. welcome to all of our viewers. we're awaiting to hear the president. he is expected to talk about the deal that was reached last night. budget conferees will be meeting to speak about the bigger issues. we'll be hearing from the president now as he gets ready to move to the next phase of what's going on. the president has his own issues there. jim acosta is standing by at the white house. dana bash is up on capitol hill. john king is here, gloria borger, will cain, nile gardiner. he was supposed to start, what, half an hour or so ago? >> that's right. >> he is running late. that's not unusual. obviously, stuff happens over at the white house. we anticipate fairly soon he will be speaking. >> keep in mind the white house is just getting back up to ramming speed. they had a good chunk of their workforce furloughed during the extent of this crisis. what we can tell you about this event that will get started here in a few moments is that all of the people seated in that room, according to

she's in washington. house members, democrats and republicans go home with no debt deal, no deal to reopen the government. what message does that send to the country and the furloughed federal workers, presumably they ain't going back to work. >> i guess i'll just jump right in there. that's one of the pressure points that republicans have sort of been leaning on, which is that federal workers missing their paychecks is bad for the democratic party since most of those workers tend to lean to the left. but going home without a deal clearly is only going to make the public more angry. you just reported on this cnn poll that had 63% angry with republicans, 57% angry with democrats. another pressure point on both parties, in the same poll, independents blame both parties evenly. so i think the politicians are going to be under a lot of pressure to put together a deal, not to mention the debt ceiling deadline. >> crystal, what sort of pressures in washington today? >> i think amy is absolutely right, but i am

and there are a few ways to do that in washington. try to get some prominent places and hire a strong washington staff with some know-how about the town. he doesn't have long in aufgs. he'll only be in office for 15 months. that's what's left of senator frank lautenburg's term. so he needs to definitely spend some time with his con stitch wents, that means returning to new jersey, not just to ne wurks ark, but making himself visible around the state and that he's listening to them, fred. >> all right. alexandra, thanks so much in nork. >> thanks. >>> perhaps you're looking for a new investment. here's one you might not have considered. buy a share in your favorite athlete. why one company says it's a e' winning investment strategy. and the light comes on.lip- it's our job to make sure that it does. using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. generating electricity that's cleaner and reliable, with fewer emissions-- it matters. ♪ at any minute... ...you could be a victim of fraud. most people

he is in washington for us. richard, you spoke today with christine legaarde, what did she say to you? >> well, they're having their annual meeting in washington, just about every finance minister and central banker in the world including, by the way, jack lew of u.s. treasury and ben bernanke of the fed are all there. and what basically anyone who you'll talk to says they just a can't believe it's happening. it's an extraordinary state of affairs. they all say they have confidence that the u.s. will sort out its fiscal mess and raise the debt ceiling. but after the main committee meeting, i asked christine legaarde why she remains sew confident since clearly there was very little progress being made. >> there's nothing like a deadline to actually reach the target, and i would hope that that deadline operates in that fashion, but that was the view expressed by all ministers in town in washington for two days who have come from all corners of the world for the annual meeting of the imf. they are concerned, becaus

there were parties and sides that developed quickly. >> not washington. >> washington was the only one. >> the only one? >> we could make history and elect the second president f i run, who does not belong to a political gang. >> and there's talk about howard stern as a running mate. >> there's a method to my madness. i dispiez the dirty munner. plus, when i was running for governor, i was doing a radio show. i had to lose my job because of fcc regulations. with howard's show, i can stay on right until the election. he's sirius radio, fcc doesn't govern them. plus, we could appeal to his listeners to send us all $20. that way, i could continue staying clean because i don't accept pac money and i don't accept special interest money, and $50 isn't going to get you much of an audience. >> as he told you he's willing to do it? >> he's thinking about it, but i tell you, if he would support me and allow me to use his show, i would also, if he doesn't want to do it, i would consider senator angus king from maine, the former independent governor. he and i were the only two independent governor

i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington. we start with president obama. he's getting more involved in the shutdown right now. it's day two, 37 hours in. and the president has asked the leaders of both parties in the house and the senate to come over to the white house later today for a sitdown on the shutdown. dana bash is up on capitol hill. over at the white house, senior white house correspondent jim accost ta is standing by jim, the president says he won't negotiate on some of these critical issues. so this potentially could be a pretty short meeting. >> potentially it could. wanted to see what happens at 5:30 this afternoon when john boehner, the minority leader nancy pelosi, the minority leader in the senate, mitch mcconnell and harry reid are all scheduled to come over to the white house to sit down with the president about the shutdown and the debt ceiling. remember, that is coming up in a little more than two weeks. according to white house officials, the president is going to hold his ground when it comes to a continuing resolution. the presiden

do you have a message to washington? >> things like this can have such a big impact on the people that are in the limelight, people working out in positions at spots. this whole island will be shut down. that's a ton of different position that is people won't be working or won't be getting paid for. >> reporter: liberty island sees up to 4 million visitors a year, 20,000 a day in peak season. at $17 per ticket for adults, that's big money. >> even more than the money, it's the fact that there are folks that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a lot of folks. >> reporter: an opportunity that means a lot for so many, like stacey garcia. and, carol, here is what's unclear, whether these federal government workers, like the park rangers, are going to get paid or not once the federal government gets things together and get things up and running. that's yet to be seen. what we do know is that workers like quinn and victoria, concession stand workers that have these hourly jobs are not going to get paid. every single d

the wheels of washington slowly turning once again. and lots of the local businesses across the country, they're getting back into high gear. >> morning, ladies and gentlemen. >> reporter: tourists lined up as the nation's parks, my assumes, and memorials re-opened for business. >> how does it feel to be inside today? >> ask him. >> how does it feel to be inside today? >> awesome. >> reporter: employees are are

the vitriol is palpable in washington. in fact, the nation's largest employer has now just laid off about 800,000 employees. that is essentially what the government shutdown did to federal workers today. and if the furlough of the nonessential staffers lasts, the economy could take a serious hit. just think about this. losing $1 billion a week according to some economists and all this could end in an instant, if, and only if congress could pass the spending bill. you know the divide here. senate democrats want to pass a bill to fund the government. house republicans want the same thing but with a provision to somehow stop obama care, the health reform law. obama care has not shut down. in fact, take a look at these live pictures. democrats get ready to hail its debut. the first time people can enroll in an insurance plan. so we're watching that for you today. after four votes, it does not look like lawmakers are any closer to a resolution of funding the government. just listen to republican leadership here and president ob

the worries over washington, wall street's wondering if washington can really get it together, those worries expected to dominate wall street today. yes it's week two, the dysfunction has dragged on a lot longer than wall street ever expected, and we're seeing the sweat really forming on investors' brows because we're about a week and a half away from the debt ceiling. wall street you wonder, is washington listening? i don't think so. >> alison kosik, thanks so much. >>> website delays and glitches hinder the rollout of obama care. the white house is hoping the experience for millions of americans will be a bit more user friendly, a key feature of healthcare.gov was taken down for maintenance over the weekend. officials say the fix would help more people access the site at the same time. my text guest says people had problems signing up last week but finally able to sign up by phone, terry o'neal. you bent down and hurt your back and you can barely walk? is that true? >> yes. yes. i did. it was something very simple. i bend over and got up too fast and it happens sometimes. >> i know

we stayed in washington. a perfect opportunity. >> we're going to jump out of this because you've heard this before from both sides of the aisle as a matter of fact. let's check in with bee awn in a keilar. we heard what they said. why not just sit down and talk out our differences? why incident the president want to do that. >> reporter: the president, carol, feels like what house republicans want to do when it comes to government funding is to fund pieces of the government that don't have to do with obama care. so the piecemeal issue, i think they feel like there's no point in talking about it and there's no point in moving forward with some of the more popular areas of government and reinstating that, because then you're going to end up with obama care defunded in a piecemeal sort of way. so i think the -- what you have right now, is you kind of have both sides, really, coming at this from very far apart. and also what's interesting, they're talking about different things. you're hearing house republican l

i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington. the debt ceiling deadline now just 59 hours away, the shutdown entering its third week. and this means it is crunch time, just two hours from now, president obama and vice president joe biden will meet with the congressional leadership at the white house. attention has shifted to harry reid and the minority leader mitch mcconnell. they have just wrapped up a meeting within the past half hour. reid saying they're getting closer and closer to a deal. minutes ago, president obama said there is some progress on the senate side. we should get the videotape of the president. he's been outside of the white house, any minute now, we're going to bring you his comments as soon as they come in. stand by for that. meanwhile, republican senator bob corker of tennessee says the reid-mcconnell talks under way right now are where a deal is most likely to come from. >> i think at the end of the day, the culmination needs to be something between mcconnell and reid. and i think that all of the side talk

the talk continues in washington. but at this point, the gop is saying that they are going home for the week -- for the weekend. at least the members are. the leadership will stay and talk. but it doesn't look like there will be any vote anytime soon in washington. >>> hard times can bring out the best in people. sarah hoydale knows how hard it can be to make ends meet. she's a waitress and single mom. she heard two national guard menus discussing the menu and how they won't be paid. she picked up their tab. and also left a note thanking them for their service. >>> the politically vocal ceo of starbucks has a message for washington. get the government moving again. but howard schultz isn't the one doing the talking. instead, he's offering americans a platform to voice the frustrations by signing a petition. nick valencia is at a starbucks now in atlanta. so, nick, how many signatures do they have? and when does it go to the white house, or the senate, or the house, or where does it go? >> reporter: miguel, they're doi

it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. >>> i'm wolf blitzer in washington. welcome to all of our viewers. we're awaiting to hear the president. he is expected to talk about the deal that was reached last night. budget conferees will be meeting to speak about the bigger issues. we'll be hearing from the president now as he gets ready to move to the next phase of what's going on. the president has his own issues there. jim acosta is standing by at the white house. dana bash is up on capitol hill. john king is here, gloria borger, will cain, nile gardiner. he was supposed to start, what, half an hour or so ago? >> that's right. >> he is running late. that's not unusual. obviously, stuff happens over at the white house. we anticipate fairly soon he will be speaking. >> keep in mind the white house is just getting back up to ramming speed. they had a good chunk of their workforce furloughed during the extent of this crisis. what

if you look at the republican party ip wan washington. these are people who don't like ted cruz they believe that he and his cohorts are trying to primary them fast forward past midterms of the presidential race. hillary clinton campaigning for her friend in virginia. is clinton likely he the face for the democratic ticket? possibly cruz possibly in the race or the republicans? i think hillary clinton is more likely than cruz. i think she is the over whelming favorite. i asked john mccain about ted cruz today saying would he be the most attractive nominee and i have to say he was demure about it. >> thank you so much. interesting. days ahead. months ahead. good to see you. >> all right coming up, hundreds of homes destroyed by wildfires. we have pictures of people struggling to save the houses. still in the path of those flames. [ female announcer ] who are we? we are the thinkers. the job jugglers. the up all-nighters. and the ones who turn ideas into action. we've made our passions our life's work. we strive for the moments where we can

i'm curious because you covered washington for so long and we'll get to this new abc/washington news poll in a hot second, but first, what do you make of that moment between the two men on the senate floor? >> it's encouraging when you have harry reid and mitch mcconnell saying they're not only optimistic but in harry reid's words, very optimistic. if something is acceptable to harry reid and mitch mcconnell, it would pass overwhelmingly in the senate. that will put enormous pressure to send that to the house and force the speaker, john boehner, to put it up for a yea or nay vote on the floor of the house of representatives where i assume it would get support, maybe not a majority of all republicans would support it, but a large number of them would support it. way more than enough needed if you get all 200 democrats on board, and presumably, you'll get 195 of them. that would be encouraging. i assume the president would go along with what harry reid is going to sign off on. i don't think harry reid is necessarily going to sign off on something the president would veto, so maybe it c

let's get to work. >>> so there's a lot going on here in washington right now. the road ahead could be particularly complicated and frustrating. prine todd is here watching what's going on. brian, give us a little sense of what lies ahead. >> we're hearing today even if a deal is reached today, which it may happen, that getting that grand bargain between president obama and the republicans for a budget deal that's really kind of going to last for a while, not very likely. president obama actually relayed some of this frustrations self days ago about kicking the can down the road. he's blaming republicans for that. here's what he had to say about that. >> house republicans need to stop careening from one crisis to another in everything they do. have you noticed that? since they've taken over the house of representatives, be we have one of these crises every three months. have you noticed? and you keep on thinking, all right, well this is going to be the last one. they're not going to do this again and then they do it again. >> so president obama blaming the house

michelle, what's your message to the lawmakers here in washington? >> well, what we would like for them to be able to do is to get a budget passed and to compromise. work together. he and i have been able to do so. i would think they would be able to, and to listen to the american people. it's really important. not just because of our marriage. but there are a lot of people who are out of work now because they're fighting amongst themselves. and kind of letting their egos take control rather than listening to what the american people want. we want them to get it taken care of. >> i know you wrote to your congressman, matt. have you heard back from him? >> yeah, it was great to hear from congressman bera on monday. he called me personally. unfortunately, i was in a meeting and missed his call, but he left a lengthing message addressing our concerns and what he's going to try to do to correct this problem from what he can impact in washington and i got to see where he addressed our comments on the floor of the house on tuesday. so it was really great t

he is in washington, d.c. now. what can you tell us about the president's rose garden event tomorrow, chris? >> reporter: well rngs don, a little after 11:00 in the morning tomorrow, the president is going to come to the rose garden. he's going to bring with him certain small business owners, consumers, some pharmacists, those that support the affordable care act. he's going to tout some of the successes, talk about how some of these folks have been able to enroll in the program. some people, suspect, some of those will be kparms of who did not have health care coverage before. and he's going to address the glitches. he's called them unacceptable. he's going to try to shift attention from the computer problems to say look, the affordable care act is more than a web site. it's a program. and that seems to be where the white house is trying to shift the emphasis now. >> some of your colleagues are saying she should resign. do you agree with that? >> absolutely she should resign. why? because the program she has imple

the fundamental problem in washington is washington is not listening to america. what happened? this fight on obama care, we went and made the case to the american people, launched a national website, don't fund it.com. in a matter of just a few weeks, over 2 million americans signed that petition on don't fund it.com.
