0 ♪ it's all right it is all right, it's over for us today on "new day" and we give it to carol costello. >> i got it. thanks, guy, have a great day. "newsroom" starts now. happening now in "the newsroom," impasse and anger. >> you guys are worthless in my opinion, all of you. worthless! you don't run this country. >> shutdown breakdown. >> this is a waste of time. it's not going anyplace. >> america fed up from being put down. >> how many are worried about the government shuttown? how many more worried about it starting back up. will a new republican strategy open the government back up? also glitched. obama care launched and then landed. >> but the page just wasn't populated so there's some sort of technical glitch and it wasn't working. >> websites not working, thousands of you left without an answer. plus critical condition. >> all his ribs fractured, his lungs are so badly bruised, he's still on the ventilatoventilato. >> reporter: the virial video that shocked america, a swarm of motorcyclists, a family of three in an suv and horrific ending. >> my husband got off the bike to help the guy and he got scared, he peeled off and paralyzed my husband on the way. >> reporter: you're live in the "the newsroom." good morning. i'm carol costello, thank you so much for joining me and welcome to day two of your government being shut down and your plans possibly narrowed, booking a trip to yosemite, better reschedule. want a loan for your small business, that window is closed or how about a visit to the capitol? today it's closed to visitors even though it's open for lawmakers. not that it matters. it's their squabbling that has left much of the government paralyzed or maybe i should say today it's government alacart day, partially opened, partially closed and author rely gridlocked. >> the yeas of 252, the nays 176, two-thirds not being in the affirmative, the rules are not suspended and the joint resolution is not agreed to. >> that, my friends, is your people's house, congress striking down a bill that would fund some of america's treasures, veterans programs, national parks, and washington, d.c.'s local government. could you call it government buffet style, take what you want and leave what you want, like pay-per-view and an idea floated by republican senator ted cruz. >> i think we ought to start passing continuing resolutions narrowly focused on each of the things the president listed. he said border patrol agents won't be paid. he says that he plans to close every national park, let's fund the interior, keeping the parks open, let's one at a time demonstrate the same bipartisan cooperation we saw today with the military and address all of these people that he's holding outers are going to suffer. >> there's no shortage of american suffering but certainly not in silence. >> it's just unfortunate that we're being held hostage by congress in order to further their agenda, which is not our agenda. >> it makes no sense to us. the government, it's their responsibility to pass a budget. it's the law. why didn't they? >> it's unfair to the public. it's unfair to the citizens of this great nation and it's just unfair that we have to experience these types of hardships because people can't get their acts together and agree on something. >> anger, resentment and resolve all boiling over in a most unlikely place in washington, the world war ii memorial. here's cnn's chris lawrence. >> welcome to washington. >> thank you. >> reporter: wheelchair bound veterans came just to see the world war ii memorial, only to be greeted by barricades. >> i don't get it. i don't get it. i'm furious. >> reporter: members of congress seem surprised, but when they vote to shut down the federal government, monuments do, too. >> if i can walk around here why can't i walk down there? it makes no sense. >> reporter: that's exactly what some are saying about negotiations on capitol hill. >> i feel like our government is wasting our taxpayer money. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: onlookers applauded as the veterans broke past the barricade. >> well, it fills you with pride and makes you proud that you were part of it. >> reporter: lawmakers who came to greet the vets also laid blame for those barricades. >> this is a spiteful decision that was ordered from the white house. >> reporter: the politicians made no mention of their own role. >> we're trying to protect the lives and the health care of these wonderful veterans who did for us. >> reporter: but as they postured within a mile of the memorial, thousands of federal workers were being furloughed. >> everyone is angry. i mean, angry. >> reporter: sent home without pay, they're scared for themselves and their co-workers. angry, worried and incredibly frustrated. >> because i don't see why we the people should suffer because of their disagreement. >> reporter: despite it all, the shutdown won't stop one woman's 93-year-old father who will get to see the memorial that honors him. >> we're just glad he got on the plane this morning. >> reporter: you're still going to enjoy this day? >> oh, yeah, it's going to be great. >> reporter: the thing is flights and hotels are already booked for a dozen more veterans trips during the next week. park officials say they are looking for guidance on how to handle those. translati translation? we can't believe the folks in charge left us here to block elderly veterans from entering an open concrete space. chris lawrence, cnn, washington. >> we've been hearing all week about the potential jobs report and this morning, a new message posted to the bureau of labor statistics website, "this website is not being updated due to the suspension of the federal shutdown period. bls will not collect data or respond to public inquiries." it t says updates to the site will start again when the federal government resumes operations. as more americans are impacted by the shutdown public anger continues to grow and that means politicians in washington need to step up their efforts to blame the other side. in an op-ed for today's "wall street journal" republican house speaker john boehner accuses president obama of a "scorched earth policy of refusing to negotiate in a bipartisan way." that's not all the speaker has to say. cnn's brianna keilar is at the white house this morning to tell us more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, carol. little snippet of the speaker's op- op-ed, he says washington democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks and the stories across the country highlight the devastating impact of obama care on families and small businesses they continue to reject our calls for fairness for all americans." this is the line from house republicans, carol, that the white house and democrats will not engage, but talking to sources here, i'll tell you the way they see it is that there's not even a starting point where republicans are that they could agree to. they don't want to tinker with obama care, they don't want it defunded, don't want it delayed so they don't see the point of engaging at this point because of what republicans are proposing for them is a nonstarter, the idea you may extend government funding, we've seen different proposals from 45 days to 75 days at this point for delaying or completely defunding obama care. they say it's not apples to apples and it's not even close when you compare those two things, so at this point, we think the white house is really trying to rely instead on that public opinion where a lot of americans are saying they would rather see this government shutdown ended and they don't want to see obama care really be the issue here so i think the white house is trying to rely on that, and trying to build pressure against republicans, rather than sitting down and engaging with them. >> all right, we'll talk to you more later this hour and the next. brianna keilar live at the white house this morning. despite the shutdown over obama care, obama care goes on, signups continue today. we know more than 2.8 million people visited healthcare.gov which manages health care for 34 states. the enormous web traffic overloaded the system. lot of people seeing this message "please wait." several state exchanges also having major bugs. california's website had to be shut down for maintenance overnight. officials say they were overwhelmed with 5 million hits and 17,000 phone calls in just a few hours. state officials as well as president obama promised glitches, all of the glitches would be worked out. >> just a couple weeks ago apple rolled out a new operating system and within days they found a glitch, so they fixed it. i don't remember anybody suggested apple should stop sell iphones or ipads. >> struggling with those glitches are people like terry o'neill from sacramento, california. she's a married mother of three, a freelance writer, ph.d. student and independent film producer. her husband has his own business repairing computers, and terry joins us now. good morning, terry. >> good morning. >> okay. so you're excited, going to go to healthcare.gov and what happens next? >> well, i had a lot of trouble on the website itself. healthcare.gov directed me to coveredcalifornia. covered california actually, it took a long time to maneuver through the site and find out where i was supposed to go and how i was supposed to apply online actually. there was no place to apply online. so you had to actually print the application, print the paper application or they say when you print the application you can call the 800 number or apply online. >> how long did that part of your task take? >> that part took about 40 45 minutes trying to maneuver through the website and find the proper link to apply, which wasn't there. it wasn't available. >> did you talk to an actual person at some point? >> yes, after waiting on hold for about an hour, i spoke to a representative there and she said there were glitches in the system and they were unable to process any applications but i was lucky enough to, she actually processed it for me over the phone. she took my information and processed it over the phone. >> that's good. so all of that took what, about three hours but you don't know right now whether you qualify for any plan. is that right? >> correct. yes. they said by the end of the week, maybe next week, they will let me know. >> so after three hours of your time, you still don't know? >> no, i still don't know. >> okay, so that must have been frustrating. still frustrating for you but do you feel it's worth it? >> absolutely i think it's worth it. going years without health care, three hours a week, it's worth a try. it's worth my effort for me and my kids. so yeah it is. it's frustrating but you know, millions of people were online. i expected it. i guess i expected it so i wasn't too disappointed. >> okay. terry o'neal -- >> i knew i wasn't the only one. >> no, you were definitely not alone in your pain. terry o'neal thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. so let's bring in cnn's chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta on the cnn express bus tour in lexington, kentucky, and you're also examining the pitfalls and the benefits of obama care. so how it the administration addressing the glitches in the system? >> well they say it's going to be better today, carol. obviously the proof is in the pudding. they said the same thing yesterday afternoon. i could tell you i was in greenville, south carolina, and we spoke to hundreds of people over there who came by the bus just to ask questions and share their stories and we couldn't find anybody who said they convincingly were able to register, apply and be approved for a plan. similar story to what you just heard, and now we're in kentucky and they say that things were a little bit better here in kentucky yesterday, about 2,900, close to 3,000 people were actually able to get registered, but keep in mind about 3 million people across the country apparently were trying to do this yesterday and the number that actually succeeded much smaller and if i can share with you a little bit of irony in all of this, we've been talking to the department of health and human services, kathleen sebelius' office and the primary person whom we deal with is now furloughed so we had a hard time getting information from hhs specifically about what the numbers look like across the country in terms of registration. the government shutdown even affecting the ability to get information here. >> so what's your best advice? i know terry, i mean at least she got an application in and being processed and eventually she'll find out whether she qualifies but what advice would you give people trying to get onto the system who might have given up yesterday? >> reporter: well, i think that the best advice is this is considered an open enrollment period, and grant that a lot of people who are doing this have never had the luxury of going through an open enrollment before. they've not worked for a company that offered them insurance, but keep in mind you know, carol, open enrollment lasts a while. this open enrollment will go through march 31st and if you do actually apply and register before december 17th, your benefits will start january 1st. my point is you got some time. it seems like at least according to what we're hearing there was a lot of attention, certainly more attention than people estimated there would be this first day yesterday. my guess is in the weeks, even in the months to come, that's going to taper down significantly, probably even today. so you got a lot more shots at it. it's a three-page application ultimately when you do get on. it's fairly straightforward, and the thing that's most notable i think carol, we talked about this yesterday but the most notable thing on this application is what it doesn't ask which is your medical history because that's no longer relevant to how they determine your cost. >> dr. sanjay gupta, thank you so much. i know you're going to be in maryland tomorrow with the questions people are asking about obama care and you can check out "sanjay gupta m.d." every weekend on cnn. before i take you to a break a final ouch, because of the government shutdown, college football may take a hit. saturday's big time rivalry game between navy and air force is supposed to be aired on cbs but cbs could have nothing to show because the teams might not be able to play because of uncle sam and here's why. navy stadium -- andy scholes i'll let you explain ta. air force has to come up with money to travel to where navy is, annapolis. >> that's right. >> and the government usually funds that because it's air force and now they got to dig up some money and if they can't dig up the money they can't go. >> the good old shutdown, the defense department temporarily suspended all athletics for navy, air force and the army and big problem they have to get from kohl doll to annapolis. air force fund their program with ticket sales, tv money. part of it comes from government funding and because of the shutdown can't use that money and there's no rules in place for something like this, we never expected the government to shut down so the lawyers they're sifting through the paperwork trying to figure out if they can use non-government money to fund a trip from colorado to annapolis. of course they can get private donors to pony up for the trip or air force in the mountain west conference they can maybe pay for the conference themselves for them to go but it's a big problem. air force and maeve navy playe year since 1972. you wouldn't want this to happen but we should have a decision tomorrow as well as army and boston college, army whether they can get to their game. decision tomorrow. >> the travel is expensive to put it in perspective, it could cost a couple hundred thousand dollars for air force to get to annapolis. >> taking over 100 people on a chartered flight across the country so it's pretty expensive and of course they had a plan in place but now that plan of course because of the shutdown got to come up with a new one. we'll see if it happens. you don't want to miss a rivalry game like that. >> no! andy scholes thanks so much. u.s. veterans came to visit the world war ii memorial and found it close but guess what? they were having none of it! they broke through the barriers. now the gop is trying a new approach to make sure that never happens again. katy perry is coming to town. can we get tickets, please??? sure how many? thank you, thank you, thank you! seriously? i get 2x the thankyou points on each ticket. the citi thankyou preferred card. now earn 2x the points on entertainment, with no annual fee. go to citi.com/thankyoucards ♪ [ male announcer ] the parking lot helps by letting us know who's coming. the carts keep everyone on the right track. the power tools introduce themselves. all the bits and bulbs keep themselves stocked. and the doors even handle the checkout so we can work on that thing that's stuck in the thing. [ female announcer ] today, cisco is connecting the internet of everything. so everyone goes home happy.
