security is incredible and absurd. let s bring in now friend of the show, john stanton from buzzfeed, and john this is the first test for the gop congress and here we are once again at the 11th hour getting way too close for a shutdown it. makes you wonder if we are getting and funding homeland security at a time like this is that too much to ask for? unfortunately, it is. if you look at what is going on in the house right now, they are not going in a mood to pass this bill. at least if they do it as a republican-only kind of operation, they can t pull this off. speaker boehner will end up having to pass a short-term extension while he tries to fin angle his caucus into supporting this plan that mitch mcconnell has put forward. and politico this morning was reporting that neither mcconnell
in stopping this outbreak, by law even in a shutdown it will take whatever steps are necessary to build calling employees back from furlough to deal with this because they think it is that significant. bill: what can people do? in the meantime, look for those numbers that may or may not be on the packages. it is all the usda has to go on at this point. if you are cooking raw chicken, cook it to 165 degrees internal temperature, use a thermometer and be sure to thoroughly wash anything that comes in contact with raw chicken before you use it somewhere else. use hot water and a lot of soap. bill: great reminders. martha: we re just getting reports the obamacare exchanges are actually down again.
happening at this point. maybe after a shutdown it would happen, i don t really see it happening before. you got, the thing is, you got true believers here who believe that the only way that they can vote for something is it has to include delays, defunding, repealing, scrapping altogether obamacare. that s the thing that sort of mystifies me that they re staring at a brick wall. they re yelping at a brick wall to fall down, but the president and the democrats on the hill have been united in the fact that they are not going to vote for anything that delays the funds or repeals and the president has been pretty clear as you said, it s like through yesterday, i m not doing. and, yeah, on that point, here s harry reid, this is yesterday, too, the senate s message the senate democrats message to the republicans. here s harry reid. here s a president, who less than a year ago, won an election by 5 million votes.
stocks fell across the board. the dow losing more than 60 points yesterday. the five-day losing tally for the dow 540 points. budget battles matter to investors and main street. if there is a shutdown it will be stupid. if the government shuts down, be very clear, you ll likely get your social security checks. it will cause a ripple effect and be dangerous. it was a volatile day for the retailer. look at the bloomberg chart. they were cutting to suppliers and walmart said it was true and crazy and false report. the stock immediately turned around and bounced back. crazy drama on the walmart stock yesterday but it did manage to
we ve been empowered by an overwhelming majority of americans in the vote in november to do something. that is why the budget, i think, as bill indicates the ryan budget for next year and the future is what is important. this is a distraction. if it is a shutdown it will throw it out of kilter and republicans have to defend themselves in small money and instead of arguing about the big issue, the size, the scope, the reach of got spending in taxes, which is where they are strongest. chris: all of which raises an interesting question for john boehner. this is the first big challenge of the speakership. will he be able all the wise heads agree he should split the difference, go for the cut and take on the big fight. is he going to be able to sell it to his caucus? will he sell compromise to tea party republicans, especially freshmen who are not in the mood for compromise? working hard at it. they think they will be able to do it.
