Lou and another warning to iran, if the regime were to move ahead with its Nuclear Weapons program. If iran ends up ultimately not being able to say yes, if they cannot provide us the kind of assurances that would lead myself, David Cameron and others to conclude that theyre not obtaining a Nuclear Weapon, then were going to have to explore other options, and i will be the first one to come to congress and say we need to tighten the screws, and by the way, thats not the only options available. I consistently said we leave all options on the table. Congress should be aware if the diplomatic solution fails that the risks and likelihood end thises up being a military confrontation is heightened, and congress will have to own that as well. Lou but it is debatable which of his threats was the stronger, because only 10 minutes later, president obama went onto take back the threat of a military confrontation with iran. I am not, repeat not, suggesting that we are in immediate warfooting, shou

Happening this morning, the Supreme Court will take up the latest challenge to the Affordable Care act. Much more on that throughout todays washington journal. Democratslenny gainthis is the houston chronicle. This is a failure. To fund the department through september. No strings attached. Here is the front page of the boston globe. The house oks homeland funding. Divisions widen between john boehner and hardline conservative republicans. Also this morning their headline on this story. Homeland security receives funding. They say the gop capitulates but the war is not over. This is immigration is the reaction from capitol hill. I voted against this because it does not deny funding for the president unconstitutional action. He voted against what the speaker wanted to do. Since it democrats refuse Senate Democrats refuse to compromise. Another chairman who oversees reform panel voted no on the funding bill. I will not power amnesty.

I had blue cross for years, and i had a really good Premium Payment that i paid every month and i had really good insurance.

Republican congressman peter king said he could see anywhere from 50 to 75 republicans voting for a clean continuing resolution to fund the government. Republican congressman charlie dent today. I believe there are the votes to pass a clean cr. The plan was to pass a clean cr all along. That was the plan i want to stick to that long. I believe inevitably thats where well end up. Nbc news puts the tally at 22 House Republicans who would vote for a clean cr to fund the government. Add that to 200 democrats. And john boehner is busted. Today, the president himself called boehners bluff. If republicans and Speaker Boehner are saying there are not enough votes, they should prove it. Let the bill go to the floor. Lets see what happens. Just vote. Instead of ending the shutdown, john boehner is doubling down. And now threatening not to raise the debt ceilin
