i hope harry reid reconsiders. the constituents in nevada who elected him they are hurting because of obamacare and there are thrie00 million americans who are losing their jobs and who are at risk of losing their health care because of obamacare. we need to listen to the people. >> how dowry spawned to those who say you took this entire situation 21 hours close to brinks man ship by carrying out a speech that fundamentally and technically and procedurally couldn't change things. >> the purpose of the filibuster is trying to frame this debate for the american people. they will try to focus the american people on the disaster that is owe -- obamacare. it uses the words of the lead democratic senator who wrote the bill. the nightmare that is obamacare to use the words of the teamsters. we accomplished a great deal. if you look at what the conversation has been in the past month or the past week more people are focusing on it not working. it is not ready for prime time. 24r* are reasons the exemption want exemptions.

reid on this because harry reid was going to give him the 15 minutes. you had a back and forth. i will ask one more and then we'll talk specifics. bob corker today, there seems to be anger at you. correct me if i'm wrong. did every senator and every congressman run on the platform they would re peel and re place obamacare? is there anyone who didn't run on that? >> as far as i know, everybody did. twice we have had vote where is all 45 republicans at the time voted against obamacare either to repeal or defund it. >> all right. so there were a lot of symbolic vote s to do that. this is the one that would do it. >> exactly right. >> i hear there are tactical differences. i asked john cornin yesterday. he said if we get elected in 2014 and control the senate then in january 2015. is that what the goal is -- those that disagree with you here? >> the tactical difference, you put uh your finger on it. the difference between wanting to take a symbolic show vote versus standing up on the continuing resolution. this is the hoet vote that4 matters. it's got to pa

i don't think that harry reid should shut down the government. the house of representatives did something significant, which is they passed a bill to make clear that regardless of what happens the men and women of our military -- they should be paid. that passed unanimously in the house. and listen, right now, harry reid and president obama had been essentially holding the military hostage, threatening their paychecks over this potential shutdown. they might force. i think regardless of what happened we should pass the bill. we should not have a shutdown, which means harry reid has to move off his absolutist position. you have been multiple compromises from the republicans, and can you tell me what the democrats have done to compromise -- >> but what has he done -- as i outlined before, you have lost ground from even the summer on the position of getting people to vote with you. you lost ground from that position and you haven't persuaded one democrat. you have got to be democrats if you're going to overturn this thing. >> well, actually, joe man

i commend harry reid for doing that because for weeks harry reid and president obama had been threatening the men and women of the military, using their paychecks to hold them hostage, and i'm glad we passed that, but that also points a way forward. i think and i encourage the house tonight, i think the house should pass multiple continuing resolutions focusing on all of the things president obama listed in his speech to the american people this afternoon and funding them, so one continuing resolution funding the v.a. in its entirety, another one funding our national parks and another one funding our border patrol agents so that we don't have critical services denied the american people. not full-fledged appropriations where they are making policy decisions, just focused continuing resolutions that say let's maintain the status quo and not cut off the funds, and harry reid ought to be able to cooperate bipartisan to get that. >> i've got to jump. senator ted cruz, thank you, sir. appreciate it as always. >> thanks. >> many thanks to cnbc's melissa lee and tyler matheson. we'll keep you in

they could be ugly and risky for harry reid. he is not convening until a few hours before the government shutdown at 2:00 p.m. the president is playing golf. >> they have gotten soft. they say it is thes' fault. -- it is the republicans' fault. they will get more blame, but the democrats will get blamed too. this thing we have been watching is all throwing the snake on the other guy. >> we are about 33 hours away from a government shutdown. it would appear to be happening unless something rad clear different happens -- rad clear frint happens. we will get to regular programming in a moment.s ] thanks for being with us. >>> welcome back. i'm as you know right now i am a proponent of the raw food diet? does it really taste good? putting them to the test are the fox and friends co-host.ther he will be tam pelling -- he will be sampling some treats. welcome both of you. you know, you came on the fox and friends and i came on with you, actually and we had a segment on raw food. >> your books are best sellers. >> and you popped in you

today the motion i filed, harry reid objected. if he had not objected we would have taken a government shutdown off the table. if harry reid and the president are saying unless they can force funding for obamacare, unless they can force obamacare on every american family, they are going to shut down the government. the way we stop it is standing up to them and saying, look, fund every bit of government. >> the house did that. >> the house has voted to fund government. it's harry reid who is trying to stop this, who objected today to doing that. >> all right. when you were on the program last week, you and senator lee were very, very clear that you would do everything in your power to get there. does that mean filibuster? tell me where you think this end s. i don't know if you have a crystal ball. where do you think it will end up uh? >> i'm going to use every procedural means available to me to fight this fight. >> including filibuster. >> this is a multi stage fight. >> everything including filibuster. this is a multi stage fight

that depends on harry reid and president obama. if they decide they want to force a government shutdown we will have one. i don't think we should. we should keep the government running. it would be irresponsible for harry reid and president obama to force a shutdown. if that happens, we've had many shut downs in the past, hasn't been the end of the world, i don't think we should have one now. if that happens the very effective tool the house can use, because part of the games this administration is likely to play in the shutdown is try to pick the most sympathetic instances and hold them hostage like the debt ceiling, they want to threaten a default to scare the american people. if there's no rule that says the continuing resolution has to cover every bit of the government. if harry reid forced a shutdown with president obama, i think it makes a lot of sense for the house to pass a continuing resolution first on the military. we'll fund the military. no matter what happens we should never threaten to cut off funding for men and wom

they should stop harry reid from changing the house bill and for inserting the funding with 51 votes. that will be the fight whether he can use a straight party line vote -- and senate republicans, if they stand together, we can stop harry reid. >> are you going to block consideration of the bill? will you allow consideration of the bill? you can filibuster that. if you lose that, then a simple majority could take out obama care. so are you going to have a consideration of the bill, a vote up or down, or let them vote to block a bill that you support. >> first we will ask harry reid if had will allow amendmented to be subject to 60-vote threshold. in all likelihood will will say no because he wanted to force funding through with democrats. he does that even senate republicans have the tool that we always used when the majority leader is becausing his power. we can filibuster and say we will not allow use to add the funding back for obama care with just 51 votes. >> if i may, you say this is brute political power, it's senate rule 22 that has been around for years. it says you say allo

there is very little new harry reid can learn. he has a closed mind on the issue and doesn't care even when the culinary union, one of the most powerful democratic players in nevada and las vegas is going nuts as they figure out how obamacare will adversely affect them. >> i don't know where he gets the chutzpah to call it a waste of time. this is the leader of the united states senate. he knew september 30 would roll around. he knew it would be a problem. as i said before, he took a five-week vacation. >> sure. >> he took off. he knew it. the reason they are doing a continuing resolution is because they didn't do their work to do a budget. talk uh about a waste of time. you are looking at him on the screen. he has a lot of nerve ebb to say anybody else does. >> right. remember what the goal of the senate democrats was. they have a budget that spend s $1,058,000,000. nearly a hundred billion more than the democratic president agreed to in their budget agreement in july of 2011. harry reid now two years after the agreement which re

senator harry reid is furious with the gop but will any of this affect stocks and the economy? and syria has missed one deadline to give the u.n. an inventory of its chemical weapons. the second deadline is coming saturday. are they going to cheat and retreat once again? john kerry is pressing the russians to finish a u.n. deal on syria that has real military teeth. all those stories and much more coming up on "the kudlow report" beginning right now. >>> good evening everyone i'm larry kudlow. this is "the kudlow report". the house is expected to approve a short term spending bill tomorrow. it will lock in the sequester savings and defund medicare. democrats warn the republicans are forcing a government shutdown. it could be 11 days away. let's get the very latest from nbc's steve handelsman who joining us us live from washington, d.c. >> reporter: the plan tomorrow is to defund obama care and john boehner is pushing it. he's the one who has said that he was opposed to any notion of a so-called government shutdown, and any notion of a government debt default. boehner lost an in

if they flip flop, harry reid has procedural problems. they're trying to put on political pressure. they'll do one more thing, pass a companion bill to fund the pentagon and troops in the event of shutdown so troops aren't left without pay. >> we heard from senator harry reid say he is not dealing with any piece of legislation that does anything to obama care. what are you hearing from senate staffers. >> reporter: he said that. they're saying the same thing. procedurally it is pretty interesting, we think we know where this is probably headed based on the arcane procedure baked into this. the way this is structured harry reid will have a pretty easy time killing the two amendments that i just described, the senate which is likely now to maybe come back sunday we're hearing instead of the originally scheduled monday. harry reid would only need 51 votes to kill the obama care delay that house republicans want to try again on. he wouldn't need the magical 60 votes ordeal with ted cruz or anything like that. on the medical device tax, same goes. he only needs 51 votes. the only questio

right now, harry reid thinks that the house republicans will blink. we are not ready to blink. we are not blinking. we are taking no doz. our goal right now to make sure that we do what we've been told to do and sent to do and that's get it right with obama care. >> all right. but i just can't see -- unfortunately, i can't see the house republicans giving in on this or caving and i can't see the democrats in the senate either because the democrats in the senate are as passionate about their position as the house republicans are. >> but the american people want us to do something about this bill. and so, it isn't just my way or the highway on either side. we think a big compromise because -- remember, the bill we sent over to the senate was defunding of obama care forever. forever. so what we're saying now is defund obama care for a year. completely delay obama care for a year. and take a look at that bill over the next year. that's what we're saying so we're -- this is what -- i'm not saying that's what the position will be tomorrow. i'm saying that's what a large group was in

if harry reid kills that harry reid is responsible. >> bill: conservative republican senator ted cruz under fire from his own party and things are getting pretty vinchts analysis with karl rove. [gunfire. >> horrifying terror attack in cane i can't, once again fanatical muslims killing innocent civilians. why are they doing that? we will tell you. >> you organize a protest against a general that was disgusting and despicable and you seem t

do you remember the date that harry reid -- last week, the leader, harry reid, on the pbs "nevada week in review," senate majority leader harry reid was asked whether his goal was to move obamacare to a singlepayer system. his answer was yes, yes, absolutely yes. now, do a lot of the people know what a singlepayer system is? that is essentially socialized medicine. i want to signed of relive. you said some of the more seasoned ones. i was around during the clinton administration when there was a thing called hillary health care. does my friend from texas rather hillary health care? mr. cruz: i -- i do indeed, and i remember in particular at the time the press, all of the gray beards in washington saying at the time hillary care was unstoppable, can't be stopped. you need to accept it. republicans need to get together. if you will recall initially, the response was something widely described as hillary care-lite. back then in the midst of the hillary care fight, there were a few courageous leaders in the house who stood up against hillary care. and what changed that fight, what changed

and, yes, i think harry reid is -- his spine is just where the president's is on this. you heard the president today. he's just not going to negotiate on that. and frankly, i don't think he should. i was listening to the congressional debate you just had, and i thought steve was actually sounding kind of reasonable. but the thing is, they're not really being reasonable. what they should be saying is, we're going to keep things running, we're not fooling around with the debt ceiling and we're going to sit down and try to fix things. mend it, not end it. that's not where they're coming from. they want to end it. >> robert, almost everybody agrees that the individual mandate, the whole thing has been a disaster. glitch after glitch after glitch. so many constituencies being affected. i don't care how good the computers or software, no government can run a fifth of the economy, period, end of sentence. >> what about medicare? >> they won't do it. they can't even transfer the data from this obama care to medicaid. that's one of the other issues. robert costa, what happens to

now harry reid is suddenly the guy for fast action. where was he when they took a five-week vacation? >> should have been here. and september 30 seems to happen every calendar year. >> i have noticed that as well. >> i'm not sure why this is a startling fact. it's as if we saved the day by beating the deadline of october 1. can you imagine any business -- fox news, my small business -- running my i books based on the day before all the bills start getting due for the next cycle? >> why don't others see it that way? everyone is busy talking about the continued resolution, but no one understands the job of creating a budget and agreeing on a budget was never met. so this is sort of -- one job wasn't done. now a second job to cover up for the first job not done can't be done. it's like hiring a secretary for your secretary who isn't doing the job. it doesn't work. if you look at the last four year where is the senate had no budget whatsoever, the fact that we have a budget now is a laughable document simply because it needs another trilli

if harry reid forces a government shutdown, that will be a mistake. i hope he backs away that he's pushing us towards. if harry reid shuts the government down, what he will be saying is american families don't get treated as well as we treat giant corporations. >> now, a "wall street journal" editorial board is suggesting the president is to blame writing that his refusal to negotiate suggests that he wants a shutdown. his agenda idying on capitol hill because of senate democrats as well as house republicans. what's your reaction to the claim that it's really democrats who are refusing to budge and they're the ones leading us towards a shutdown? >> it's an effort to spin off the responsibility that the republicans rightfully own, trying to drive the entire economy off the cliff with its huge impact on the creation of jobs and the momentum of our economy. certainly they don't want to take responsibility for it. but it's not going to succeed. the path that they have been advocating for is delusional and it's destructive. >> house republicans argue that

we don't know for sure how harry reid is going to tee this up. but rest assured i will use any and all procedure mean wes have in front of us. >> neil: conservative mike levin was saying the way for republicans to throttle this through their own minds is to even risk losing for a cause in the event it puts a stamp on your passion. i'm paraphrasing here but used the example of republicans who stood their ground and stood with ronald reagan in 1976 and came within a lick of seeing him almost beat president ford for the nomination to really achieve victory in overwhelming fashion for years later. what do you think of that mind set, stumble, lose, before winning with something bigger. >> well, let me say three things. number one, i know for sure that you lose 100% of the battle that you begin by surrendering, and all these republicans who say we can't win, if they want, these rarous pundits want us to surrender, that will make sure we can't win. number two i'll point out, in many ways, we're winning right now. look, this vote today was historic, and

and harry reid and president obama's position is we won't even talk. let me point to something that's a good sign. this may have been missed in the coverage, but it's a good sign of washington working the way it should. today a piece of legislation was passed. the house of representatives passed a bill sunday morning that says regardless of what happens if there's a shutdown or not, we're going to fund the men and women of our military. for weeks president obama and harry reid had been threatening the men and women of the mill their their paychecks would be lost. today harry reid did something good, something i praised him for, so the senate unanimously passed that. that will go to the president's desk for signature today. that's a step in the right direction. that is ensuring that our soldiers and sailors, airmen and marines are not held hostage. >> so at least a bit of bipartisanship. i want to take a quick break, continue this conversation. there's a lot at stake, as you well know. much more of our conversation can senator ted cruz. tweet us, using

the senate majority leader harry reid made it clear it would not fly. saying to be absolutely clear the senate will delay both the delay of the affordable care act, we are still at square one, this from harry reid, republicans must decide whether to pass the cr, the continuing resolution, or consider a government shutdown. big question, since the senate democrats are in control in the majority of the senate. we've heard this back and forth in the senate, the legislation has pingponged, they could conceivably be blamed, unless there were republicans who tried to overtly shut it down, the house tonight is expected to pass this legislation, send it to the senate where it already has been deemed dead on arrival. >> deja vu, all right, carl cameron, fox news contributor, you know, i have to say that ten days ago when i spent an entire week interviewing poll analysts, pundits and politicians on capitol hill, they all assured me that no, there will be no government shutdown come midnight on monday. well, does it look to you like they were all wrong? >> well, i

speaker harry reid earlier today made it clear he is willing to reject the house bill that funds the government but the funds obamacare. senator reed is taking ownership in effect of any government shutdown by rejecting republican house ill. the matter how he constructs the argument, it is his. >> any bill that funds obama and health care plan is dead on arrival in the senate. affordable care act has been the bottom of the land for years now. willing to work with reasonable republicans to improve this law. lou: we will he the latest night, and we will have the latest on radical islamic terrorist killing people. senior minister saying that three more islamic terrorists were killed today in the three-day hostage sndoff at the mall while claiming they are finally in control of the situation. as you can see on the screen 10 to 15 fmed the mall on saturday terr targeting non-mus. as many as 60 lives and injured more than 200. 11 suspects have been arrested. the kenyan government vowing to finish in punish those they believe to be held up inside or on the run. the al qaeda related group ha

we should have swatted this bill away harry reid said. as soon as they passed it, they give him time. i don't want to shut down. the white house is trying to work on this enormous thing. the root cause of the problem is this is an incredibly partisan bill. we are dealing with that right now. i don't care. >> senator, let's go back to that. >> now you can talk. >> we ran an election, president obama versus mccain in 2008. obama won. we worked for 14 months to get bipartisan support and nine months until september 2009 where senator bacchus was working with senators grassley and others. we had one word from the republicans. yes. we weren't going to play. then we went it alone. we had a 2012 election on obama care. obama won. the country said over and over we are going to support the reform. the republicans have never given an alternative that controls cost to everyone in the country. it improves quality. we have obama care and have the o fordable care act and it goes into law. what you are worried about is people are not going to like it. i

bob, why did harry reid cancel the vote? >> harry reid has been trying to herd democratic hats for the past week and he's quite a bit of a problem doing so. he can't find a democratic vote. you look at a lot of mod r moderate democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told thatod moderae democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told thatd moderat democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told that moderate democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told thatmoderate democrats. they're abandoning the president. >> i'm being told that the leadership both houses, neither will call a vote if they think the president will lose. they do not want to embarrass the president. now, am i hearing that right? are you hearing something like that, as well? >> that's correct. first of all, from what i hear from my house sources, it will never come to a vote in the house unless it first passes the senate. and right now when you have harry reid delaying a test vote until wednesday

harry reid has rejected it. he said the extension of government funding that i put on the floor is also short term but through november 15th and a one-week delay wouldn't mean anything. democrats are saying if we're not negotiating now, why would we negotiate over the next several weeks. also republican conservatives in the house have also rejected mcconnell's proposal saying that's too weak for us, we need something stronger. we want to continue to go after obama care so it doesn't look at this stage that mitch mcconnell's solution will be the way out. >> john, i'm sure it's not the last we'll see of you this afternoon. thank you so much. is the market reading this right as we're down triple digits or is this a buying opportunity. joining us we've got david sourby, michael, mike thompson, hello, and our own rick santelli. that you all for joining us. >> absolutely. >> i want to kick it off here, they have weakened a little bit but i wonder are people overlooking the fact that the big fight might be around the d

they call on harry reid. it leaves a signal that they are eager to be done with this. >> this is an effort that was organized by the house. the house is enacted. the senate leadership in the house and the leadership as well as the president needs to act. we've heard from the president, we've heard from the senate democrats that they think it should be a clean cr and a clean debt ceiling. you know, that is taking the easy way out. and that's the foolishness that got us into the place and has frustrated the american people that they see status quo coming out of washington, d.c. and we're here to say -- we're here to -- >> excuse me -- >> he was elected by the american people. >> ma'am. ma'am -- >> reporters. >> sit down. >> if i may, if i may. is. >> i was elected. i represent -- >> you have individual constituencies and -- >> we are representing the people that we all work with. >> what are the option s? >> we're waiting for the senate to act. >> they need to have the debate in the senate. the unaffordable law

we should have swatted this bill away harry reid said. as soon as they passed it, they give him time. i don't want to shut down. the white house is trying to work on this enormous thing. the root cause of the problem is this is an incredibly partisan bill. we are dealing with that right now. i don't care. >> senator, let's go back to that. >> now you can talk. >> we ran an election, president obama versus mccain in 2008. obama won. we worked for 14 months to get bipartisan support and nine months until september 2009 where senator bacchus was working with senators grassley and others. we had one word from the republicans. yes. we weren't going to play. then we went it alone. we had a 2012 election on obama care. obama won. the country said over and over we are going to support the form. the republicans have never given an alternative that controls cost to everyone in the country. it improves quality. we have obama care and have the o fordable care act and it goes into law. what you are worried about is people are not going to like it. it

if harry reid kills that, harry reid is responsible for shutting down the go and should listen to the american people, fund the government, but don't fund obamacare because it's hurting the american people. it's not working. >> but not everyone is on board. other high-profile republicans, like senator rand paul of kentucky, and senator tom coburn of oklahoma, are saying the g.o.p. just done have the ability to stop or defund obamacare. >> we heard a lot of tough talk going into the weekend, and of course we heard some fresh reaction. what are the president and his allies saying about the measure to defund the healthcare law. >> they say the republicans want to deny health care coverage to millions of people. the president him saying the g.o.p. defund egg effort, quote, it is not going to happen. this in spite of polls showing the majority of american people do oppose obamacare. >> i'm not surprised there's confusion. these guys have one running around the country, demagoguing, scare mongering on this issue. they're not afraid it's going to be unsuccessful. they're afraid it's going to

what have the president and harry reid given? nothing. the president stands up in maryland and gives a speech, and then within an hour or two hours later the white house is admitting that the small business exchanges are not ready and bad news after bad news, and this is about fairness. he has given exemptions for delays for big business, special interests, and even congress. i mean, what about fairness for the american people? this is about fairness. why should the average middle-class american be, i mean, subjected to the enactment of this? >> it will hurt the average middle-class americans the most. >> harry reid wants the government to shutdown, and no republican is advocating for it. >> and everyone is saying that known wants it to shutdown, and if the tea party has 22% of the support of the american people, how it is representing a larger portion of what america wants? >> well, the approval rating is still higher than congress'. >> true. >> and democrats are with us, and they have said that they support a one-year delay. why not del
