charlie. today looks like the day washington has to get something done. >> congress is running short on time to solve the budget standoff. day 16 of the partial government shutdown. if there's no budget deal today the federal debt ceiling would be reached at midnight meaning the united states can no longer borrow money. it raises the risk government will soon be unable to pay its debt. >> that led to a warning yesterday. the fitch credit agency may low ter u.s.'s rating making it more expense toif borrow in the few -- expense toif borrow in the future. nancy, good morning. >> norah and charlie, spectacle is what you get when one side tries to go alone this close to the deadline. it never works and set congress back a day when there isn't a day to spare. house speaker john boehner tried to do an end run around negotiations taking place in the senate with his own last ditch bill that made changes to the president's health care law in exchange for reopening the government and raising the debt ceiling. house conservatives revolted saying the bill didn't go far enough. boehner was forced to kill it. the two senate leaders watching from the sidelines all day immediately restarted talking releasing identical statements expressing opt mitch that an agreement could be reached quickly. >> i know i speak for many of us. i've been working in good faith when i say we with felt blindsided by the news from the house. this isn't the first time. >> the senate plan reopens the government which has been shut 16 days funds it three months and raises the debt ceiling for nearly four months. because of this senate rules, it could take days to pass by partisan bills. the treasury secretary has been urging congress for weeks to pass a bill raising the debt ceiling by tomorrow. >> the ominous sounds of default are being heard. >> speeding up the process would require approval from all 100 senators and the two biggest advocates of defunding the president's health care laurks republicans ted cruz and mike lee who have not said whether they'll try to hold up the bill. senate leaders from both sides tell me this morning staffers have been working all night long to try and finalize the deal and get it into legislative language so senators themselves can take a look at it when the senate comes back to session at 9:00 pacific. the earliest that a vote could be held is sometime this afternoon. we still don't know norah and charlie, when it will end up going to the house for a vote. >> thanks nancy. president barack obama tried to give congress time yesterday to work out an agreement. in the interview, the president said he's optimistic. major garrett at the white house. >> good morning. the white house does see a path forward and hopeful congress will get this work done right up against the deadline. in case it doesn't, the president has to plan for the worst. he will plan before noon with treasury secretary jack lew. borrowing for the government expires tomorrow october 17th when default begins. the white house has told congress economic catastrophe could ensue if default takes place. it is hope had the message of economic disaster would scare house republicanses in meeting the president's demand of approving the increase of the debt ceiling in order to avoid default and consequences. that hasn't happened in the house or senate. which body goes first today? the white house doesn't care. it wants a negotiation by tonight if it can get one. there's behind the scenes meetings with the senate and aids in the house. the president has discovered the strategy of not negotiating to get the debt limit increase has brought risks to his presidency and uncertainty for the economy overall. charlie and norah. >> major garrett, thank you. the delay in the budget deal is bad news for wall street and everybody else. dow jones fell 133 points yesterday, first loss in a week. gigi is at the new york stock exchange. >> reporter: good morning. stocks are higher this morning. investors are hopeful a decision will be reached before tomorrow's deadline. many are still nervous and holding their breaths. the green this morning could easily be red afternoon. if congress can't reach a deal by tomorrow the u.s. could default on the debt. that could be armageddon for the i economy. for the past few weeks, investors have not panicked. they believe there's no way congress would ever let the u.s. default. the shock to the financial system would be too debilitating. they feel awe of this gives the federal reserve reason to keep stimulus entact through the end of the year to boost the economy. charlie and norah, back to you. >> thanks. the government shutdown already has cost the economy $22 billion estimated. if fitch ratings choosing to downgrade the credit limit, it wouldn't be the first. john chambers is from the committee. welcome. >> thank you charlie. let me begin with the implication going on in washington. to go so close if they make a deal, has there been damage? secondly, if they fail and go to default, what are the implications? >> charlie there is damage. every week of the government shutdown that cuts 3% of the gdp from the fourth quarter output. if we go past the point where the government can't borrow anymore, one of two things could happen. one is you'd have to cut spending other than debt service by over a quarter of our current federal government spending. that would certainly put the u.s. economy in a recession. the other is that you could not pay your interest or your debt service, bonds coming due. that would be a default under our criteria. that would be the event much worse than leeman. >> if congress does not vote by the end of today, do you think a downgrade would happen and how quickly? >> we'll have to see what the government's response is. our as sumpings is there will be a plan. the mere fact we're having the discussions led us to believe there wasn't approval to have the rating on the government. >> worse than lehman brothers and the great recession produced by the failure of leeman brothers. >> it would be worse in my judgment. i think it's needless. >> congressional and political leadership acting? >> we have a budget system unlike any other budget system i'm familiar with. we have spending and revenue measures that have originated from the act in congress now uconnyou congressional funding. now elected officials are balking at funding that spending. >> a sober warning this morning. john, thank you. if the debt battle wasn't going on now, this story would be dominating the news. the rough start to obama care. it's been more than two weeks since health care gof went live. uninsured americans are still trying to sign up. complaints are louder every day even from members of congress. members out there too. good evening good morning. >> reporter: rough start. that could be the understatement of the year. it's been a complete disaster. nobody knows how many have been a able to enroll. they're called urban legend. members of the house, energy and house committee are launching the investigation into what went wrong. the president is now acknowledging the problems with health care.gov that are more serious than he initially led on. >> the website has had way more glitches than i think are acceptable. >> it was a different president barack obama two weeks ago when he tried to compare the health care roll out to the launch of the new you iphone. >> they found a glitch so they fixed it. i don't remember anybody suggesting apple should stop selling iphones. >> the problem with the website hasn't been fixed. even supporters like robert gibbs says someone should be fired. he didn't name names. the head of the republican party is pointing straight to the top calling on health services kathleen sebelus to go. she isn't talking at least since her interview last week went viral after she fumbled through it. >> how many have signed up thus far? >> fully enrolled i can't tell you. i don't know. >> at this point the failures are well documented. the success stories are not. the administration is refusing to release numbers on how many people have been able to enroll. although press secretary jay carney for the first time managed to identify a few. a woman in illinois couple in mississippi and family in utah. remember, 7 million people are the sign up you target by the end of march. for republicans it's like shooting fish in a barrel. >> $634 million. that's how much it cost to develop obama care website. facebook operated for six years on less money than that. >> reporter: president barack obama can be grateful for one thing. think about the backlash coverage, criticism, complete failure of the roll out would be getting in republicans had focused on this instead of the shutdown fight. charlie and norah. >> thank you. terrifying moments aboard a spirit airline jet. 165 left dallas from atlanta. 20 minutes after takeoff, one of the two engines exploded. a passenger sent a text to his wife reading we're on fire. love you. >> this huge explosion goes bam. we saw the flame come up the side of the plane

>> undercover police officer matt rodriguez and his lawyer emerged with a meeting with his prosecutors after more than an hour of discussions in the motorcycle assault against alexian lien and his wife and son. >> how difficult has it been? >> it's been difficult but i take it one day at a time. >> he came forward to say he was riding with the group in the assault. just last week the first undercover city detective who came forward was charged with assault, riot and mischief after investigators say he lied about his role in the attack on the suv. the lawyer for officer rodriguez says his client's story checks out. >> what you told them is you weren't there for any 'sault. >> john wrks all due respect, i'm going to stop you right there. >> his attorney said he had fall on the the rear of the pack of motorcycles, that he didn't see the confrontation where the suv was surrounded by motorcycles and drove over two of them to escape. rodriguez reportedly told investigators he took a different exit off the highway to visit his grandfather in a nursing home so he was never even on the street where the final assault took place. >> police officer matthew rodriguez voluntarily presented himself to the manhattan district attorney's office to answer any and all questions and concerns they had regarding his alleged involvement of the incident of september 29th. it appears that the district attorney's office will discover as we have known if there day one that there are no acts of criminality on behalf of matthew rodriguez. >> how did you feel to sit down with the investigators today and to be able to get your story out? >> i was just glad to be given the opportunity to actually say my piece. >> is it appropriate for police officers to be part of some motorcycle gang? >> well number one, this is not a motorcycle gang. front line soldiers was a small group of law enforcement individuals and former veterans nchl ypd itself has a motorcycle club. so he was part of an organization of other law enforcement individuals that he thought was involved in charitable organizations and charitable things. >> rodriguez has not been suspended or put on modified assignment. that's assigned to desk duty without a badge or gun but prosecutors have questions for him regarding what contact he had with other officers before during, and after the assault, and the police department in their internal investigation will want to know why he waited as long as he did to come forward when obviously the investigation was highly publicized. >> so he has a lot more questions to answer. >> he has some but as it stands noushlgs it doesn't like he's facing the criminal charges the others were. >> do you still expect some other officers might come forward? >> there will be. >> really? >> we're aware of a third officer who was part of a former undercover. here's what's going on. normally they would pull all these cops in and question them and get down to business but because prosecutors are considering criminal charges they said to the nypd let's slow this down and bring them in and interview them with the district attorney's office before we get do any departmental regulations. >> we believe the total number of cops or involved -- >> i still think, norah, we're talking five or six tops. >> with all the attention this has received. i mean how embarrassing for the nypd is it? >> obviously it's very embarrassing and i think the extension of that is what does the department do about creating a regulation about what kind of clubs or activities you can be a member of off duty. this certainly didn't end up looking good. this club these guys were in was a group of seven people. one was a wounded warrior and the others fell in the group of police officers. >> what do you do if you see something being recommitted. >> which is already in force, but, you're right, charlie, they'll put it on paper. >> thank you. two girls are facing charges over bullying that caused a girl to kill herself. anna werner has more. >> good morning, charlie and norah. they believe as many as 15 girls were involved in a relentless campaign of harassment. police say they've arrested these two girls now because of what one of them posted online over the weekend. the sheriff released photos of the two girls, one 14 yours old and the second just 12. both are charmed with grag vated stalking, a third degree felony. in your eyes what makes these two girls' acts criminal. >> because they terrorized her. they did things like you should die, you should drink bleach and die. you see a pattern of harassment a pattern of intimidation. and that's what they did. they intimidated this girl. they harassed her. she had no peace. >> there was a trigger hoar for you. >> reporter: sheriff judd says they were also troubled with something the girl put on social media on saturday. >> she made a comment to yeah i pulleyed rebecca and, yeah she's dead but i don't give a blank. i melt with the detectives and their supervisors yesterday afternoon and said okay, she needs to go to jail. we need to latest her. >> reporter: police say both parents refused to cooperate. >> her birthday is saturday and i think this is huge birthday present for her. >> reporter: last december she cut her wrists then last month she climbed an abandoned tow never a concrete plant and jumped to her death. court papers alleged they began harassing her after he started dating one of their boyfriends. the younger girl and sedwick were once close friend bus the older girl convinced the younger girl tore turn on sedwick and even getting her to beat up. >> it makes me question where did you learn it from. kids learn it from somewhere. >> reporter: i think a lot of parents are asking right now how can this happen. >> it shouldn't happen and it only can happen when parents don't parent their children. you need to know who their friends are. you need to know if they're bullying people at school. >> reporter: and last night we spoke with the parents of the 12-year-old gill in the case. she expressed remorse in the court and her father says he feels horrible about what happen and his daughter will be dealing with the consequences. they say they will be dealing with the police. the father believes she was led down the path by the older girl the 14-year-old girl. hi said she was a straight a student and never in trouble before. a new way for women to find out if they're at risk for breast and ovarian cancer. dr. david agus tells us who should get tested. that's next. tomorrow you'll meet the woman at the helm of the world's largest defense contractor. the ceo of lockheed martin. that's tomorrow. hello, these are our ocean spray 100% juice blends and light 50 with just 50 calories, both with no added sugar. with so many tasty flavors, it's like a fruit stand in every bottle. just blending the fruits.

>> he's at it again, mayor bloomberg. first outlaws sugary drinks. no smoking. and now wants to outlaw a tanning salon. nothing on crazy motorcycle gangs but everything else -- >> this morning's eye opener @ 8 is presented by benefiber. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. this is the 16th day of the partial government shutdown. also the last day for congress to act before hitting the federal debt ceiling at midnight. officials from both parties spent all night working on a compromise to reopen the government and raise the debt limit. >> senate leaders say they are optimistic they can make a deal in time. john chambers of standard & poor's told us this morning that the president does have options even after the midnight deadline. >> if the government misses a debt payment, the rating goes to "d" for default or selective default. and unless it's cured within five days. i think we'll have a deal. i think the deal will be approved by congress. but one option he could have which is a dangerous option but maybe the one that would be the most palatable is to invoke the 14th amendment and just issue debt in defiance of congress. >> worse comes to worse the president has an out? >> he can invoke the 14th amendment and suffer the consequences of congress' actions which could entail trying to impeach him. >> section four of the 14th amendment says in part the validity of the public debt of the united states shall not be questioned. with us mike nick mulvaney. here's the question for me. one, how to get you, you as one member of congress to go from a no against to yes, and secondly and more importantly, what principle, what idea is -- do you so believe in and you think is so threatened that you're willing to put the government in default with all of the ramifications that so many people say will happen? >> sure. let's deal with the first one. yesterday ompromise that the house came up with that failed late in the afternoon. but to your larger question what principle are we fighting about? everyone seems to get the whole impression this is about defunding or delaying obama care. it is not. we're arguing about fairness equal protection under the law. it's the law of the land and it is. our question has been why is it not evenly applied across all the citizens? you've got -- the president's given 1100 specialers erspecial waivers to his friends. all we've been asking is that those same exemptions apply to our families. we think that's a reasonable conversation to have. the president and the senate have not engaged us in that is the reason we are where we are. >> senator john mccain says the republican party has lost the fight on this one. is it over? >> i don't think so. in fact i hope mr. mccain doesn't feel that way because he's going to be the one today negotiating in the senate to try to come up with some type of compromise. i hope he hasn't given up. my hope is the senate does pass something today. my understanding was they were very close late last night. it will likely pass the house in relatively short order. but i'm disappointed to hear one of the leaders of my party has given up. >> he said that they should ask for everybody's resignation in congress. how do you feel about that? and what do your constituents say about about the position you're taking? >> the government is not going to default. it's a shame that the congressman of south carolina has to use those words that plainly and not the president of the united states. all the president had to say was we are not going to default and nothing to do with the 14th amendment. he has the authority under existing law to use the money that we take in every single day to pay the payments. why he hasn't said that publicly, i don't know. the treasury's telling people in new york that, why aren't they telling the public that. >> with all due respect, i know there are these debt ceiling deniers. but we had on our air larry fink of blackrock. do you know who he is? >> i've heard the name and i heard him before i came on. >> he the large ets holder of teacher pensions firefighters pensions, and he said this narrative is embarrassing around the world and that it is going to harm us longterm. can you respect that opinion? >> sure, but i can also respect the opinion of moody's the ratings agency that last week came out and in no uncertain terms said we are not going to default. i don't know why no one asked mr. fink about that. you can be extremist if you want to. you can be hyperbolic if you want to to get on television but the truth of the matter is there are reasonable ways to handle this situation. >> you said that you supported the bill if it comes from the senate. do you expect senator cruz and one other senator to support and not prevent a bill passed in the senate perhaps this afternoon? >> it depends. i think if there's broad bipartisan support, my guess is that senator cruz would not object to it. if it's an outrageous capitulation, i can't speak to senator cruz. i don't know him that well. i didn't say i would support it. i said it would probably pass the house. if the senate is able to pass something on a bipartisan basis. >> because democrats will vote for it. >> correct. >> nick mulvaney thank you. president obama brought a hero of the war in afghanistan to the white house. william swenson received the medal of honor tuesday for his courage during a firefight with the taliban. his service to his country may not be over yet. >> army captain will swenson looked cooler under fire than he did during the ceremony in which he received the medal of honor from his commander in chief. this video brought it all back to swenson, when he finally saw it for first time nearly four years after the battle. >> i did not know the existence of that video. i had not remembered that moment. i couldn't look back and see that moment in my head. so it was lost. >> taken by helmet cams worn by the crew of the medevac helicopter, it is unique in the annals of america's highest honor. >> this may be first time that we can actually bear witness to a small fraction of those actions for ourself. >> it shows swenson and a crew member helping a badly wounded sergeant kenneth westbrook to the helo. before it takes off, swenson leans in and gives westbrook a kiss. >> i think i was trying to keep his spirits up at the time. >> did you say anything to him? >> it's difficult to say anything over the din of a helicopter. but i'm sure i got good words off to him. >> did you ever see him again? >> i never saw him again. one month later he passed away. >> four other americans died that day despite swenson's heroic efforts to rescue them. >> that battle came with enormous loss. it's painful to deal with that. >> swenson quit the army. >> sounds fair to say you left the army disillusioned. >> confused. >> but now the first army officer to receive the medal of honor since vietnam has asked to come back on active duty. for "cbs this morning" david martin at the pentagon. >> that video is so tender and that last line to hear that he wants to go back. when you see the kiss that he doesn't even remember guys he doesn't even remember it and wants to go back. he looked so sad and so strong yesterday at the white house. my heart broke yesterday watching that. >> i think what norah said earlier, you would hope that that kind of courage and that kind of service would be remembered as the country's going through consequently actions in washington. >> well i know that we just had ra discussion about what's going on, people denying debt and about whether we'll be able to pay our debts. but what is true is that 4 million veterans will not receive their paychecks unless they get this work done in congress. there are already veterans we've spoken to who are not getting their disability checks. that's outrageous. that's not a partisan issue. >> beyond that, lots of other people who try to support families and get their kids educated. >> government workers who are a . designer maria pinto dressed prominent women from the first lady to oprah, as in winfrey. that didn't save her business. now she's charting a comeback. that's ahead. comeback. they'd that's ahead on "cbs this morning." ounc this morning's eye opener at 8:00 i this morning's eye opener @ 8 is sponsored by benefiber. better it with benefiber. nabena fiber. and feel better about doing it. better it with benefiber.
