at the moment about this piece of budget legislation with the obamacare part included. dana bash is in washington right now awaiting the speaker s remarks. tell us more, dana rnc. reporter: well, he s just finishing a meeting with his entire republican caucus happening just in the room next to is. we are awaiting his arrival and the rest of the republican leadership. this is something that s fair to say john boehner and most of his leaders wanted to avoid. when i say this, it s effectively giving in to the conservatives in his caucus who want to tie funding the government to defunding the government obamacare. the reason he wanted to avoid it is because of the politics of a government shutdown. it s setting up in such a small window from now until september 30th, as you said, 12 days, a very high-stakes game of sort of back-and-forth with the house, led by republicans, if they put this on the floor, which looks
been mischaracterized as being either pro or anti-gun. we re neither and we re not a policy-maker. we are a company that is in business to serve customers. and as a result of the misz characterization as well as a number of episodes in which people have walked into our stores carrying guns. customers have felt significantly uncomfortable. children have felt uncomfortable. so, poppy, that seems like kind of a cop-out to me. he s talked about a lot of social issues. he puts his views right out there. so why not say you re pro or anti-gun? i hear you. that was a question to him as well. starbucks has come out vocally pro-gay marriage. last year he will called on all americans to stop political donations until washington really got its act together. so they ve been out in front with a clear, clear message on controversial topics. poppy? i m sorry. i have to interrupt you, but the
should not be part of the starbucks experience. and as a result of that making that decision, we are respectfully requesting that those customers who are carrying a gun just honor the request and not bring the gun into starbucks. schultz added that starbucks isn t banning weapons from its stores. customers who bring guns into the store will still be served. they will not be asked to leave. but schultz is just saying, please, don t do it. the man behind the deadly shooting at washington s navy yard had a history of violence with weapons and a history of arrests and anger issues. yet aaron alexis legally brought a shotgun in virginia, which he then used to gun down 12 people on monday. this morning i d like to talk not about gun control but the gun laws already on the books. laws many say ought to be enough to stop many instances of gun violence. joseph green is a retired atf agent. thanks for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. good morning. thanks for having me. it s a
newsroom and into the day. now we have to take you back to washington because the president is just about to speak before the business roundtable, a group of business leaders. you can see that man is introducing the president now. let s check in with jim acosta, covering this event. jim, good morning. reporter: good morning, carol. you know, i think you ll hear the president responding at least in part to what house speaker john boehner said within the last hour. you know, the president, his administration, various officials here at the white house have all been saying over the last week that there is no way the president will sign any kind of continuing resolution or temporary spending measure that definds or delays obamacare. the white house also wants to fix the sequester. what you heard from john boehner earlier this hour that they want to defind obamacare, keep the sequester in place, want to perhaps use the debt limit as a negotiating tool the president has said that is not
like they will, and the democrat-led senate which will obviously say no way they won t do this. as a matter of fact, the senate majority leader harry reid said yesterday this is the definition of insanity, thinking if you do something over and over again you ll get a different result. the bottom line is they understand in the republican leadership is th is probably the only way they can pass any measure to keep the government running. they re hoping at least maybe they re going to get this out of their system when it comes to convict turf sieves and hope they can figure a compromise out in the next 12 days. it is definitely something that republican leaders tried to avoid behind the scenes and didn t have much success. they ll pass something in the house that they know the senate won t pass and the president would veto because it s obamacare, his signature issue. okay. so when john boehner begins to speaking, i know you ll be listening to his remarks. we ll get back to you, dana bash
