Industry insiders talking. >> the owner named names of no shows, people who make reservations and dont show up. the owner has to defend his decision to do that. here is abcs david wright. >> reporter: for anyone who has never bothered not to cancel a dinner reservation when plans changed, this is a cautionary tale. one of the owners of red medicine decided he was fed up with no shows. >> we are a really small restaurant. you can see there is about 54 seats in the dining room. when you lose 20 pe...

Most of them designed to please the nra. the worst of these so-called riders tacked on to a must-pass spending bill to keep the federal government open until this fall insures that no federally licensed gun dealer ever has to conduct a gun inventory. it is shocking. that happened, in the cr, completely unrelated. as we were having a huge national discussion about gun safety reform issues, it gives you one step forward, half a step back. i dont even know what the sort of footprint on that is but ...

Throughout the entire ten-year period. here is the big issue though, i want to see obamacare repealed, but its not going to happen through paul ryans budget plan. the republicans, if they want that to happen, to get ryans plan through, theyre going to have to during one of the crs or debt ceiling debates, they are going to have to shut the government down. we still take in 2.7 trillion, will pay for medicare, social security, will pay off our debt, the full faith and credit of the united states,...

Shutdown. pattie murray joins me from the hill. senator, where do we stand on the cr and separately on the overall budget, separate issue, but do you -- have you moved forward on overcoming the obstacles that have been raised i think from kansas senator moran on the continuing resolution? >> yes, we have finally come to an agreement. well le voting shortly on, which will fund our government through the end of september and help give some stability. it obviously is not where i would like it to be...

I senate i think is going to pass it hopefully late tonight. well send it over to us and i expect us to pass it on thursday. the senate passed version is better than the house version. its not a good version. we should substitute as both the murray budget does and the van holland budget does, substitute for the sequester, not adopt the sequester numbers. sequester as i say starts with s, which stands for stupid. its an irrational way to reduce government spending, we need to reduce spending. we ...

Procedural vote last night. does not appear to be a whole lot of drama but as yogi bear says, it aint over until its over. >> we are going to finish the cr and finish the budget before we leave here for easter break. thats for sure. my caucus noses this. the republicans should understand this. senator sessions who was on the noor today saying, ive got a great idea, wait until after easter to do that. not a chance. were going to move forward on this. reporter: we expect theyll pass the continuing...

This week, we ought not to recess for the easter break. we ought to be here next week until we pass the cr and make sure the government doesnt shut down. the sequester is dumb, shutting down government is even dumber. im hopeful that we will move in that direction. but im also hopeful that we will come to our senses and adopt a rational responsible budget for the coming year. the ryan budget is all a pipe dream and not a plan thats responsible way forward. >> and i think were going to make that ...

Been managing the finances of the country the way we ought to be. were in debt. and they also need to know were interested in growing the economy. we need jobs. we think the democratic alternatives that both that senator murray is offering in the senate and chris van holland is offering in the house do that while the republican budget offered by mr. ryan and the who us will have a devastating effect, not only on average working americans, but on job creation in this country. we dont think its a ...

Problem. i hope that happens when gets back from israel. >> chris: before you deal with the budget you have to pass a continuing resolution before march 27 and going on recess at the end of this week, to keep the government running otherwise it shuts down. the question, senator durbin, is will the senate pass a cr, a continuing resolution that keeps spending at $984 billion which is what the spending level is of the house cr including the sequester cuts? >> chris, when i left, washington, on thu...
