Page 3 - Shutdown Issue News Today

Definitely heading there, adding we will see what happens in the senate. which, right now, a whole lot of nothing. just minutes from now, the white house, you can see, live pictures from inside the briefing room, key members of the presidents team are going to provide a briefing on this situation. and we also have learned this morning that the president will not go to florida, will not go to mar-a-lago as planned, if there is no deal. >> needless to say the optics of him there, $100,000 a plate ...

Dollars going to a fund like that. i think there are other ways of addressing this. we intend to put on the presidents desk, i believe, legislation. and we can do that through our budget process. so i think there are better ways in getting at this issue defunding this barbaric process and this group that does this then involving the shutdown issue. so i think we can hopefully avoid that. i dont think its the right strategy, but i think we can do better things to get at this issue. i hope more am...

Fiorina is better at extemporaneous phrasings of the republican issue. she phrased it as straight into the target as you could target as you could possibly expect one of those candidates to do. >> she owned that issue tonight, not just being a woman, but because she had a bredth of understanding of it. even though some of it may not have been true. one of the facts they did leave out was the fact that 3% of the planned parenthood is abortions. and then you had ore candidates to include chris chr...

However i am pertinent some of -- however impertinent some of his comments have bench. bill: right now you can submit your questions. go to facebook.com/foxnews and well have a forum that afternoon. martha: i think our afternoon bunch will be even more interesting. ill put in a plug. bill: trump is on the stage main stage. august 6. mark it down. martha: a rare day yesterday. they had a shutdown issue. but things are going pretty well up 214 points.

Briefed on it they thought they could fix the problems. well the five days before that these emails are exchanged with senior white house aides, it is, its really every day, martha, it is another big story. martha: and it raise that is question of why, why wouldnt you delay. but everybody knows, bret, that the backdrop was they had just insisted up and down delaying would be the most horrible thing you could do to the american people. that is what the gop wanted to do during the entire shutdown ...

Dysfunctional, greg, those are people volunteering that as an open-ended answer, and it wasnt presented to them. the highest in the history of gallup, we see the discontent on where the direction of the country is, the drops, its not -- this is become a metastasizing event, this shutdown issue, the problem, the debt ceiling, the dysfunction of washington, and a public that sees washington against their interest anyway. and i want to tell you something, they are playing these polls are dangerous,...

Whether were going to be here in six weeks or not. the unanswered question is what do the republicans actually want? do they want an end to a bouma care, is that it? or do they want lower spending levels than sequestration? its not clear what theyre actually even demanding as a concrete end to all of this. >> right. if you read the op-ed from paul ryan yesterday in the wall street journal, no mention of obama care. well hear the talking. michael, we heard david gergen saying he doesnt even think...

Side. it is very shameful. >> anna, should obama care be linked to the debt ceiling fight? >> no, it should not. but i think it may end up being, frankly bb because of the timing. we are now ten days away from the debt ceiling fight and there is no end in sight to the shutdown issue. i think this will turn into the perfect political storm. where youve got the debt ceiling, budget and government shut down and implementation of obama care which is facing enormous problems as they werent live on-li...

Real reflection what some in the white house think, thats a pr bit of a wrinkle for them. youve got that going on. at the same time, i can tell you there is more of a feeling that this current shutdown issue needs to become a part of the larger conversation related to the debt ceiling. weve been saying that day by day and its becoming more and more evident that they are looking for a way, republicans are looking for a way on the house side to see if they can take in the larger issues. now democr...

Accomplishing anything. >> it is not just bad for the party, it is destroying the country and they dont seem to care in the slight bit. i mean, this is a -- what we now see particularly in the house of representatives is a party that is governing by crisis. we cant pass a budget, so well let the sequester go through. and sort of chip away at things a little bit at a time because it is too difficult to -- the only thing they vote on is defunding, again, obama care, and you look back and you think...
