nancy pelosi and harry reid took a lot of questions. the president of the united states is completely quiet. is he going to say anything or just stay in his lair? >> i don't know with that. we're wondering if it was possible earlier this evening. because the speaker of the house was coming out. and those democratic leaders from congress, harry reid and nancy pelosi, came out. but i can't really surmaze why the president did or did not come out. he did talk to a white house official who said if you look at what happened in that meeting, if you listen to what they said coming out, it is obvious no progress was made. that was plain to see and hear as we were standing outside the west wing. i was there as john boehner walked out for a few moments. and up that harry rood received took questions. john boehner took no questions. we want to continue on the resolution. and he said, and the white house won't do that and democrats won't do that. and he walked off. and then harry reid and most pelosi, it was striking to me. harry reid said we are l

. >> again we're waiting for nancy pelosi to speak. mike viqueira, are you hearing anything else? >> john to build on what you're discussing, the only way out is for house republicans to give up this fight, live to fight again, actually it's 17 days that the debt ceiling comes to past. what you are seeing now is house leadership trielings to demonstrate to their rank and file that they've done everything they can, that a shut down would be absolutely disastrous for them politically, that contrary to what many on the right believe, harry reid is not going to cave. the president is not going to cave. there was sin seared belief that they would have by this point. so what you see is the leadership in john boehner and eric cantor trying to demonstrate or cajole or any way they can to get the tea party to go loo along with a clean spendg bill and live to fight poot day. >> the house is in session is the senate still in session? >> the senate is technically in session they're open for business to see what the mouse comes up with them, that they can reject, send it back to the house, bac

we see former speaker pelosi walking towards the microphone. let's listen in to what she has to say. >> good afternoon. beautiful afternoon. we had the privilege of having a conversation with the president about the looming deadline. we're still optimistic there is a path to lift the debt ceiling in time. we're pleased with the work done thus far but we have heard of the bipartisan legislation being prepared in the united states senate. we're disappointed the house republicans decided to sabotage or at least delay what was happening there, but are hopeful everybody knows that time of the essence, and if the republicans in the house want to put up a bill, they should do it soon. but they have to know, as it has been describe, they have to leave that 100% republican vote. our members signed letters sufficient to open government that we are there, clean legislation to open the government, clean legislation to lift the debt ceiling, that would take us on the path to the budget table where any and all issues can be discussed. i'm optimistic because

again, he did speak moments earlier before harry reid and nancy pelosi. let's listen in. >> in times like this, the american people expect their leaders to come together and try to find ways to resolve their differences. the president reiterated one more time tonight that he will not negotiate. we have divided government. democrats control the white house and the senate. republicans control the house. we sent four different proposals to the colleagues in the senate. they rejected all of them. we asked for a conference. to sit down and try to resolve our differences, they will not negotiate. we had a nice conversation, polite conversation, but at some point, we have to allow the process that our founders gave us to work out. we have appointed the house side to sit down and work with our senate colleagues. it's time for them to appoint. all we are asking for here is a discussion and fairness for the american people under obama care. i would hope that the president and my democrat colleagues would listen to the american people and sit down and have a serious

>> i think leader pelosi has been effective. i think she's been an effective advocate for our positions. i think she has demonstrated her willingness always to work with the speaker. you know, she calls him regularly and says, what do you need? how do we make the votes a reality. so i think she's willing to do that. he frankly has to, as you said, come to terms is he willing to develop a governing coalition that may not including some of let me just ask this basic question. when this passes with or without you, you're going to be in budget negotiations. who is your leader? who is the leader of the republican party? it has been baffling from the outside to watch ted cruz act as a whip in the house and sometimes it seems like he is the speaker. is ted cruz your leader? is boehner your leader? who is your leader? >> it was harry that led to that. john bain is the leader as the speaker, but in the budget negotiations, paul ryan is our budget chairman. i don't think there is anybody better in the town that understands how to solve re

there a difference between boehner and pelosi, pelosi for the most time she was speaker was leading the caucus. boehner the most time as speaker has been following his caucus. he's not the decisive figure pelosi was before. all of this day to day tactical messaging wars, who is responsible for world war ii memorial or bigger boogie man or boogie woman for the american people, all of that, i think, as we get closer to the debt limit as the markets continue to decline because they become more nervous about this, all that is going to fade into the background. all these politicians in washington will have to look at themselves in the mirror and say how much damage am i willing to cause. i'm not talking 30 or 40 hard line people in the house who basically don't think default is a terrible thing or going over the debt limit is a terrible thing. leadership of the house, leadership of the senate, leadership of the white house. we will have negotiations, we will settle through this. the only unknown at this point is how much damage will be done to the country in the meantime. >> michael, i disag

and you have heard nancy pelosi saying that the deal doesn't make sense as it stands now. what the democrats the is a long-term lifting of the debt ceiling. something to get them into 2014. and president obama has agreed tore short-term so negotiations can take place, and we have disagreement among the democrats. >> it seems that they're trying to tone down the rhetoric, but not everyone. here's what senator ted cruz said today. >> this is not a typical time. the challenges facing this country are unlike any we have ever seen. you look at our constitution and bill of rights, this is an administration that is bound and determined to violate every single one of our bill of rights. >> do cruz and other tea party members have to scuttle the deal with the white house? >> certainly not with the senate. we saw senator cruz last week try to do that with a so-called clean resolution to reopen the government. and he was not allowed to filibuster. that bill was passed by the senate and if speaker boehner was to bring it up to the vote, most think that the government would reopen, but

nancy pelosi is speaking. stand by, please. >> what you saw here earlier, was that here where they were? the speaker was here? was a speaker who did not have the votes for his proposal. if there's any hope here, they don't have the votes. so why are they doing this to the american people. sabotaging a good faith bipartisan effort coming out of the senate, wasting the public's time. and in this case time is money. time is money. this is going to be very costly to our economy, even if eventually we do lift the debt ceiling, the cost in interest payments will be in the billions of dollars. this republican habit of sabotaging of any effort to move forward is a luxury our country cannot afford. and you could see by their comments, they did not have the votes. there are those on the radical right who don't want to lift the debt ceiling and you have the moderates who say whether they want to do so in a way that is clean that will go to the senate that will pass and that the president will sign. with that i'll yield.

nancy pelosi, however has a firm quote. and in the and, of we do not know. it is perhaps too early to tell. if those interest groups continue, and the debt ceiling continues to increase the and i think that it will have an impact. but right now, just a moderate impact. >> marty: one thing that we're also watching is the federal worker paychecks. but what about the people that are perhaps like the national park rangers or in various entities of the federal government what happens to them? >> guest: there are over 2 million workers that are without pay only 800,000 are not working the rest are still working. if you go to the airport, there are still screeners and people and the central services, police, the people that have dealing with this are working however, some of them are working without pay. pay in the future, is very slim for them to work -- without pay in the future is worrisome. this makes a big difference for them, economically. >> marty: 800,000 people is still a lot of people that are not collecting a paycheck. we will continue with your discussi
