A ransom for doing your job. For doing what you are supposed to be doing anyway or just because there is a law there that you dont like. By the way the president says the new Health Insurance exchanges will open tomorrow with or without a Government Shutdown. We have team fox coverage. Ed henry lye at the white house. James rosen with a look at what happens if the government shuts down and first to mike emanuel on capitol hill live. Mike, what is the latest on this g. O. P. Revolt in the house. Well, john, there are a number of moderate House Republicans who feel like the tea party has driven this conversation a little too far. They dont like the multiple attempts at trying to alter the president s healthcare law when the president has said he will veto it and they are worried about the consequences of a Government Shutdown and they feel like it is time to move forward. We are just hours away from a possible Government Shutdown. Still, the house is moving forward with a bill this is the the senate says is dead on arrival it would fund the government. It would delay the obama care individual mandate. It would also take away the exemption for members of congress and for political appointees. Ahead of a possible Government Shutdown. Senate majority leader harry reid is trying to place the game in the lap of john boehner. The fate of our country and our economy now rests with john boehner. Tonight, we will see whether the speaker is really willing to shut down the government risking act on recovery. To extract concessions. I hope he makes a responsible decision. I doubt that he will. But i hope he does. And help avert a Government Shutdown. Unlike many previous showdowns here on capitol hill, there are typically small groups that are working on trying to find common ground, trying to come up with a solution. Whats been striking this time around is they seem to be talking over one another to the American People and not really talking to each other about working this out. Jon . And, of course, republicans have a different idea about who is to blame, right . No question about that they say their constituents do not like obama care. This is the last chance to stop or delay obama care. In a key senate conservative, who has been quite vocal and quite visible in this whole standoff placed the blame elsewhere. If majority leader reid insists on forcing a Government Shutdown, then we may face a Government Shutdown. I think that is irresponsible course of action. If the house of representatives asks tonight, i believe this senate should come back immediately and pass the continuing resolution the house whatever the house passes. I dont know what it will be. But it will be another yet good faith earth to keep the government running. Now, to the news of the moment, we are awaiting a procedural vote in the house of representatives on this latest offer that they have come up with. He we will see if this moderate g. O. P. Revolt materializes or whether they go along with their party leadership. Senator cruz says he backs this house bill and he says if the house passes it, he wants the senate to come back and pass it right away. That sounds highly unlikely. Jon . Jon mike emanuel, thanks. If the government does shut down just hours from now. Many Important Service also not change. You will still get your mail, Social Security benefits will go out. And the irs can still collect your taxes. At the same time, president obama federally backed loans. Whats more a shut down might force Many Americans to change or cancel vacation plans at the last minute. Because our National Parks could suddenly become off limits. These are the last couple of days of summer. Gorgeous outside come to fort smelling today. It is a lytle tiring. But at the same time its just ridiculous. I mean, get something through and make it work. National parks, they will be closed if coming and the president cant come to agreement. By 12 01 tuesday morning. If it has to happen, it has to happen if they cant agree, you know. They made an offer. They can accept it. If they choose to. And they are not. It has so much more value to that where you cant put a number on something. Numbers could make or break your vacation. Going to close up all the federal parks across the United States. If you are in the middle of a camping trip, you are going to be asked to leave because the parks are going to be closed. Speaking of closed, if you have a big trip planned out east, be prepared. Taking a trip to d. C. , can you write off the washington monument, write off going to smithsonian. Write off the really great Tourist Attractions that you would want to be able to go see. If you are not into the parks or taking a trip right now, all of us are affected by the economy. And the looming shutdown can have a big impact on it displu are going to see wall street and investors and traders get very very nervous. Listen to the people. Thats all i would want to say. Do what they hired you for hire still pays if they dont get their work done in time. Congress still gets paid during a shutdown. Thats not fair. Thats wrong. Congress still gets paid. Why dont they just stop paying themselves. I mean, lets keep everybody here and lets keep everything open. Scott wasserman, fox news. Well, of course, of the effect of a shutdown would extend far beyond National Parks and d. C. Tourist attractions. The feds could also force hundreds of thousands of government workers to stay at home without pay. That includes nearly half a million of the pentagons civilian employees, but hours ago the senate did vote to preserve pay for our nations active duty military. James rosen is live in washington. James . Job, as you say, active duty uniformed military personnel will indeed continued to be paid. For veterans the picture is a bit murkier. The v. A. Claims today proprocessors will stay on the job. If the shutdown ends within three weeks. If it stretches into late october or beyond, those payments will stop. And even before then, contingency plans drawn up in 2011 suggest that regional vva offices handling disability claims likely cut back. Coast guard will remain on the job as will air traffic controllers. Meat inspectors and others whose jobs involve the protection of lives and property. One said the hostility the American Public now harbors toward the federal workforce sun precedented. They have certainly never been higher in the time that i have been following. It is sort of them being used as pawns in the budget game to an extent that they hadnt before. There were things that really i think a lot of federal employees thought would never happen. Things like a pay freeze and things like furloughs that have actually happened and now it looks very likely that there will be a shutdown. The shutdown will mean that many government buildings will be closed. Virtually all of nasa will go dark. Say for Mission Control personnel needed to maintain contact with astronauts at the International Space station. A libertarian economist today took issue with president obamas claim that all past Government Shutdowns hurt the u. S. Economy. As the federal government is americas largest employer. This will be a big shutdown. Sort of deal and it doesnt last that long. In fact in the last big shutdown in 19951996, the stock market actually rose. Now the Postal Service with its titanic budget whoas will remain open. The Security Administration will send out checks and medicare doctor also still see patients, jon . Jon james rosen, thank you. Another live look at the house floor where things have taken a dramatic turn tonight. Moderate republicans defying leaders in the crucial vote in the shutdown showdown. Called House Speaker john boehner tonight. We will go live to the white house next on the fox report. When does your work end . Does it end after youve expanded your business .

We are continuing to watch the floor of the house of representatives. Where they are taking a series of votes toward a new continuing resolution, thats a bill that would pay for the operations of the government. They are in the second of those votes right now. This is one on whats called the rule. If this proceeds, then they can get down to the actual resolution itself. But, if this doesnt pass, well then the house is in a whole lot of trouble we understand as far as getting a budget together and getting the government funded. We will continue to watch this vote and let you know what the results are. It is going down to the wire in d. C. The bill that would prevent a partial shutdown of the government is under consideration in the house but only if president obama agrees to make changes to his healthcare overhaul. So now g. O. P. Leaders are facing a revolt from some of their own members and we slender president obama just talked with House Speaker john boehner. Our team fox coverage continues. Ed henry is live at the white house now. Ed, the president and the speaker talked over the phone . Thats right, jon. The president initiated the call and lasted 10 minutes long. Whats significant about it they have not spoken in a week even as this drama was playing out. On the call on both sides that there was no major break through even though the call lasted for 10 minutes. That tells you we are edging closer and closer to a shutdown. You see the pictures there the president met with benjamin netanyahu, at that session he told reporters is he not certain if there will be a Government Shutdown. Thats in the late morning. In the Late Afternoon he had a Cabinet Meeting with the cabinet secretaries where they were preparing for a Government Shutdown. Over the hours you can see we are moving closer and closer to this being a reality and shortly before that Cabinet Meeting, the president came out to the White House Briefing room and basically blamed republicans. Take a listen. One faction in one party, in one house of congress, in one branch of government doesnt get to shutdown the entire government just to refight the results of an election. Now the president will be saying you dont get a ransom in his words just for doing your job following through on a budget, et cetera. But that follows on rhetoric where various white house aides have been saying republicans on the hill have been acting like terrorists and arsonists. This is a sign while that might help them pile on congress, it going to be harder with all that rhetoric flying around to get a budget deal, jon. Jon republicans are saying they want to know why the president is not sitting down for negotiations . Thats right. Because, look. I just mentioned this phone call with john boehner. Im also told just learning now that the president placed phone calls to the other three big leaders, Mitch Mcconnell in the senate. Harry reid nancy pelosi, those are phone calls. There havent been a budget deal in weeks. Where all the leaders could come and hash all out. John thune alleges the president really wants to take a Government Shutdown. Take a listen. Looks like the democrats in the senate and the president are anxious to have a shutdown. They clearly have no idea in moving quickly with this. The allegation there being that the president wants to pin the blame on republicans. White house spokesman jay carney flatly rejected that today saying he doesnt know who would geft politically on, this and there have been various polls suggesting blame could be spread around. People angry at washington in general, jon. Jon we are after the log logger heads. Mike, john boehner has said he wouldnt negotiate with president obama again after what happened in january. President obama says he is not negotiating this time. If thats the position, both men are taking. Thats why folks on capitol hill are pessimistic in terms of find ago deal, finding a solution to this standoff. There have not been much in the way of conversations. And showdown used to have Vice President biden talking to senator Mitch Mcconnell, former colleagues in the senate. Trying to work out a compromise with the president speaking to the speaker of the house, trying to find a deal and essentially, i think, a lot of the parties to those deals in the past have felt like they havent necessarily worked out or they have gotten burned in the end. So, there have been no discussions. So, at this point, there are a lot of folks here on capitol hill. Jon hold on just a second, mike. We are going to listen whats going on on the floor of the house and a bit of an explanation in a second. So many as in favor are l. Say aye. Those opposed no. Two thirds being in the firmive the rules affirmative, bill is passed. New mr. Speaker i request. York. I request the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays requested. Those farrowing a vote. A sufficient number have risen. Members will record their voice by electronic device. This will be a five minute vote. Jon we understand that is representative kevin yoder who is presiding over the house right now. We also understand that at least according to his voice vote tally, that the house passed a rule which allows them to debate numbers members of the house fund the government but there seems to be some question of that. Some calls for a voice count, a yea and ney count. Maybe mike emanuel who covers congress for us on a daily basis can give us more information. Mike . Jon, the moderate revolt that we had had talked about, congressman peter king, republican of long island did go forward and vote against moving forward with the rule. A lot of these moderates had said, you know, we are tired of the tea party driving the bus if you will. Worried about the Government Shutdown and what the impact would be on our staffers if we take away the congressional exemption. So, it didnt fully materialize. The house moderate g. O. P. Revolt, but they seemed to fire a warning shot that they dont want a Government Shutdown. And they are worried that perhaps the tea party is leading in terms of driving too hard of of a bargain. It was a closer vote than a the lo of people expected. It did not derail the house leaderships efforts to move forward with another plan which the senate says is dead on arrival, jon. Jon so this plan that the house will move to vote on now it does start on some of the funding for obama care do. I have that right, mike . It would delay the obama care individual mandate for a year, which is something that republicans feel like a lot of measures do not like. They feel like they are on pretty firm footing about that we also heard a lot of americans were across the country complain about special exemptions for v. I. P. Es if you will who dont have to live under obama care. Whether its members of congress or political appointees here in washington. And so they are responding to that and they are saying all right, lets strip out that exemption. Make Congress Live by this healthcare law and see how they like it. Those are a couple proposals in this latest proposal. But harry reid has essentially said anything touching obama care, he does not want to consider, will not accept and the president has threatened to veto as well. Jon all right. We are four hours and 40 minutes away from a partial Government Shutdown at least that is if the bodies in washington cannot come to an agreement the democratically controlled senate. The republican controlled house. And the man who lives at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, the president , all seem to be very firm in their positions miles apart a vote underway in the house right now on this continuing resolution. Mike was just describing. Back in a minute with more. Ew. Ew. Really . Whats wrong with trying new things . Look mommys new vacuum cat screech you feel that in your muscles . I do. Drink water. Its a long story. Well, not having branches lets us give you great rates and service. Id like that. A new way to bank. A better way to save. Ally bank. Your money needs an ally.

Happy. Happy. Happy. Happy. Happy happy. I love logistics. Jon breaking news here on the fox report. Just a couple minutes ago we saw the house succeed in passing whats called the rule. That allows them to move forward with debate on the continuing resolution that would fund the government but would delay the implementation of the individual mandate in obama care for at least one year the senate has said that legislation is dead on arrival. Dont even bother sending it over. But the house sends bent on sending it over. They can move forward with debate on this peeves legislation. Now that they haves pad the
