republicans are saying, let s delay a program, which we all know has its problems. it is not ready for takeoff by six months, by a 84. let s eliminate the device the medical device packs. would it be unreasonable for somebody to come back and say, let s delay opalm care six months and cut the vice tacks by half? that s what reasonable people do when they re negotiating. first of all the republican party has done nothing. her to goal is to destroy obamacare. this is one last ditch attempt to do so. i have no reason to believe they would act in good faith. they haven t anywhere. even ted cruz says they don t act in good faith t. other thing is ultimately the president has said, i m willing to negotiate on pieces of this, if you come to the table, we can do that t. only non-starter is taking obecame care off the table. that s problematic. let me ask this, let s work on reality.
of representatives and the person people, go jump in a lake. he is saying 100% of obamacare or the highway, the president is the one saying i will shut down government if you don t give me everything i want on obamacare. reporter: they aurked, they budged, demanding the president s health care program be delayed after initially voting to defund it altogether. but senate democratic leader harry rode won t put this latest house bill up for a boat and president obama met sunday afternoon with his economic at the white house has threatened to veto of any measure that delays or defunds obamacare. let me repeat it. that s not going to happen. reporter: the senate is expected to strip out the obamacare delay and send it right back to the house. tlflts one area of possible agreement, a repeal of a tax on medical devices included this weekend a. top democrat said he was opened to the measure but not with a shutdown looming. i am willing to lock at that. not with a gun to my head.
if the government shuts down, who will you hold responsible? nearly half say they hold republicans in congress responsible, 13% on both your house, they would blame both sides. if you break this down, i will do this by your views of the tea party here. 76% of the tea party supporters say it s the president s fault. 80% blame republicans in congress. now you heard in brianna s piece, republicans often say, the american people are with us. well, they re right to a degree. 57% of americans oppose the health care law known as obamacare. this is a correct am zijs when you hear republicans say majority opposed, remember this, 11% of the opponents say they didn t go far enough, kate, i don t know how your math skills, are here s the defining question, what is more important for congress to, do avoid a shutdown, block the health care law, six in sen americans say keep it opened. that number speaks for
that they will negotiate about other matters, but they will not consider a law that delays or defunds obamacare. so how do you move forward from here. of course that bill now goes to the senate. senate not back in session until tomorrow. harry reid has said he will reject it outright and i think part of the calculation is that because you will be in the final hours up a government shutdown, that that will put pressure on the republican party to essentially blink first. will it work? that s a big question mark. we know republicans are about to hold a rally on capitol hill. they continue to dig in their heels, as well, at this hour. chris tekristen welker, than. with more now on the looming shutdown in washington, imi m joined by patrick murphy. congressman, good to see you. you have said in the past that if and when the government does he said up shutting down, you re not going to take your pay.
