0 more seriously. the holes are something we ll report on. you mentioned the fifth amendment. people have a right to take it without us assuming anything negative about them, but there are a lot of other people that are not necessarily providing full cooperation or releasing full documents. state senate majority leader loretta weinberg, thank for your time today. ? thank you very much. thanks for inviting me. absolutely. for more on, this we welcome e.j. dion, a columnist with the washington post, and steve kornacki, our colleague here at msnbc and host of up with steven kornacki and a resident new jersey expert. as we mentioned before, i want to go right to you, steve, on the traffic study. this is not a little thing. this was consuming a lot of attention at the press conference for good reason. take a listen to how christie describes this traffic study issue. i don t know what makes a legitimate traffic study. i don t know whether this was a traffic study that then morphed in
0 one. facebook owns that. they are going to snap chat. twitter as well. facebook does have a problem with holding on to teenagers. they have to work on that. thank you very much. there is the closing bell. thank you very much for watching me. see you back here tomorrow. the lead with jake tapper starts right now. so i had this great idea to dress up as the obama care website for halloween but it turns out the costume won t be ready until the end of november. i m jake tapper. this is the lead. the world lead. syria, remember syria? the country the u.s. came this close to attacking? after concluding the assad regime gassed its own people? now a watchdog says syria has destroyed or disabled all its chemical weapons facilities. can we trust that? the national lead. local police called it a freak accident but the parents of kendrick johnson suspected foul play. now after cnn joined their quest for answers, the feds are stepping in. and the sports lead. much to the relief of the
0 this isn t some damn game. we begin with week two of the government shutdown and absolutely no clear sign of how it will end. and in a throwback to the protestant work ethic, the house is actually back in session today on a monday, for heavens sake. and right out of the gate, a bullish speaker, john boehner, is pushing back against claims that he is being bullied by right wing rebels. he says he simply can t put a bill on the floor, because he doesn t have the votes to pass a clean continuing resolution. and in his effort to get the president to give in on something, it sounds as though the speaker has already moved on to the next even more cataclysmic fight over the debt limit, while, of course, blaming the president. a senior white house staffer this morning said that the president would rather default on our debt than to sit down and negotiate. now, the american people expect when their leaders have differences and we re in a time of crisis, that we ll sit down and at leas
0 i actually was one of the folks in the administration who saw it. and it was much uglier than i think people remember. but in terms of this idea of a clean cr coming back, we re actually even hearing now about this vitter amendment, that there s a consideration that perhaps when the version that comes back from the senate, which we know will once again stir about any mention of repealing, replacing, you know, delaying obama care, but now they re talking about potentially adding this vitter amendment which would impact capitol hill employees? well, the republicans are throwing against the radic th republicans, really, are throwing everything against the wall and seeing what sticks. they have tried the military. they have tried obama care. they have tried all these things. you they re trying the federal employees. and none of it is going to work. this is not the place for the negotiation. and if they want to shut the government down, they are going to pay a heavy price. griffin, gen
0 even if a deal is reached, experts believe it would take a year or more to destroy syria s chemical weapons and according to one pent gon estimate, assad has 1400 tons of mustard gas. the arsenal is scattered and only the syrians know where the weapons are. they suddenly have to become honest about where they are. experts say it would be impossible to accomplish the task in the middle of the bitter civil war. it would require a ceasefire in a conflict that is instead been escalating. over the past several weeks, the cia has done what everyone said they would be doing, delivering weapons to rebels in syria. why the rush to embrace the proposal? everybody in washington wants to wash their hands of the syrian issue. not the white house, but congress. the last ditch diplomacy gives them on the right and left an excuse to hit the pause button. how to speak as a commander in chief. explain yourself on that. chuck, first of all, to your earlier comment before i came on, i m proud of the
