prime time. >> house republicans are shutting down the government. >> and so it comes down to this. a partial government shutdown just under eight hours away as congress battles once again over obama care. >> obama care has been the law for four years. why don't they just talk about something else? >> yesterday, the republican controlled house voted to fund the government if democrats agreed to delay the health care law another year, as well as instituting other provisions republicans have not been able to pass, allowing employers to deny contraception coverage to employees. it goes against their beliefs, for example. the democrat controlled senate says no way, no how. they passed a clean government funding bill and say that's it. >> harry reid has conceded on nothing. he has said he refuses even to talk, he refuses to compromise, he refuses to budge. >> now the government lies in wait for the potential impact of this impasse, also known as a partial government shutdown. >> how dare you?
