And john boehner would take, they cant sell. If boehner insists on doing this with most of his caucus, im not sure the tea party is capable of reopening government. Has your strategy backfired big time . October 17th is a date that will not have a major impact. I would not be at all surprised to see us technically have a huge problem wednesday and thursday. U. S. Bond markets are closed tomorrow for columbus day. But stock markets are open. So buckle your seat belt. Okay, people. Deal or no deal . Time is running out before the government has no more money left to pay off its debts. And congress has just four days to avert a catastrophic default by raising the nations debt limit. You know what . While youre at it, guys, on capitol hill, you could just reopen the government, too. That would be awesome. Do we have a deal . Well, heres how republican senator bob corker described the situation this morning. Well, there was some movement a couple days ago. I think things are not moving now.
massachusetts, who has tirelessly sought the return of his two abducted children from egypt. mr. bower has worked to bring his children, norah and ramsey, home from the united states since his mother excuse me. since their mother unexpectedly took them out of school in 2009, boarded a plane just hours later with tickets paid in cash, never to return. that was congressman joe kennedy iii on the gut wrenching story of one of his constituents, collin bower. despite the government shutdown, something actually did get done this week in congress. the house foreign affairs committee unanimously passed a law aiming to bring children like bower s home. while it s passed the house, due to the shutdown, its fate, of course, remains uncertain. believe it or not, every year there are more than 1,000 american families torn apart by one parent kidnapping their own child and fleeing the country. in august 2009, as kennedy described, collin bower was the sole legal custodian of his two sons when hi

egypt air flight. the last time bower saw or heard from his sons was january 2012. and the recent political turmoil in egypt has only complicated matters. joining me now from newton, massachusetts, collin bower. thank you so much for your time today. thank you, karen. tell me tell us a little bit about i think some may be familiar with your story. but tell us the basics, again, just to refresh us. sure. the divorce was a rather tumultuous divorce. and it took place between 2007-2009 in the boston courts. the result of which was that i was received sole legal custody of both nort and ramsey. eight months later my ex-wife kidnapped them to egypt. the bottom line is this is not a custody case. this is a clear kidnapping. the fbi has arrest warrants out for my wife, ex-wife, and interpol has a red notice out
0 do we have a deal? well, here s how republican senator bob corker described the situation this morning. well, there was some movement a couple days ago. i think things are not moving now. i think we re in a status quo. i do think we will see our way through this. but the last 24 hours have not been good. talks on a bipartisan plan apparently broke down over the length of the debt limit increase and whether to lock in additional sequester cuts that are set to start in the beginning of next year. so now it s up to senate leaders harry reid and mitch mcconnell to work out a compromise. they spoke on the phone today and the call was described as cordial but inconclusive. got to love that senate talk. as the senate continues its weekend session, and meanwhile where is all the house in all this? let s not forget we would not be in this mess if john boehner hadn t changed the rules to keep the house from voting on the senate s clean cr. also, we wouldn t have needed a cr in the first pl
