Willing to do it now, theyll be willing to do it later. Well have much more on johns interview in a moment. Later that evening president obama actually met with congressional leaders at the white house. But they are still no closer to a solution. The president reiterated one more time tonight that he will not negotiate. Weve got divided government. Democrats control the white house and the senate. Republicans control the house. We sent four different proposals over to our democrat colleagues in the senate. They rejected all of them. Weve asked them in a conference to sit down and try to resolve our differences, they dont want to they will not negotiate. I thought that they were concerned about the longterm Fiscal Affairs of this country, and we said, we are too, lets talk about it. My friend, john boehner, i repeat, cannot take yes or an answer. President obama is expected to speak on the shutdown today at 10 30 a. M. Eastern time and cnbc will be taking those comments live. Harry reid
The wacko bird caucus is flying over the capitol tonight spreading in a default that could come over a week from now isnt going to hurt a bit. No way, they say. Just go walking over that cliff and nothings going to happen. Nothing at all. The peoples senator john mccain called the wacko birds are saying we can all fly. Like the wacko birds, we can soar up there beyond reality. We can still end up high in the air like the strange birds that got us going over the cliff in the first place. Like the hawks that talk us into wars all the time. Saying they wont last long, or i love this one, theyll pay for themselves. The rand paul types are now telling us, dont worry walk over that cliff. We can all fly. Were a country of wacko birds. You have to ask whats happened to this country. Its bad enough having to face the 40 senators who can regularly shut down a bill. We now have 30 members of the house who can stand out there and shut down the government. And just for fun threaten the Economic St
Food and nutrition, counseling to pregnant women and the mothers of infants and children up to age 5. Wi skrshgs food for babies, food that includes baby formula, an expense that can run up to 2,000 for the first year of life. Lets be clear. Kids and babies who could go hungry if we dont open for business soon. The Government Shutdown is serious. And the political reeyal ti of letting little ones go hungry may be sinking in for House Republicans. Friday, they voted to, quote, refund wic, but only after there was a major outcry in the media about it, and still without an offer to fund the rest of the government. Something that advocates for wic called a cynical ploy to use lowincome, nutritionally atrisk mothers and Young Children as political pawns for political ends. That could not take the place of actual longterm funding. So instead of producing serious alternatives, washington just keeps on giving us nuggets of absurdity. We here in nerdland are big fans of political absurdity so,
Ceiling. For even the shortest deal. The gop is considering defaulting. On the full faith and credit of the United States. Did you [ bleep ] hear that . You cannot do this. It would disrupt markets. The nation freaks out. There is nothing fiscally responsible. Defaulting on the death is like the dramatics are ramping up in washington. The wall street journal. Paul ryan. Paul ryan emerged from hiding. For a pitch for a debt deal. These, use have been talked about before. Some of the things democrats have already put on the table. Whether ryan and boehner can sell the idea. This is about the Republican Party. To their own conference. This is what it is about. The fight for the Republican Party continues. The reckless and irresponsible standoff over the debt ceiling created by frighteningly ignorant and childish republicans is already harming the country and causing increased Government Spending. Thats right. During the days of the Government Shutdown, while the buffoons who shut it down
