Right now, new images today of the dignified transfer of soldiers killed in afghanistan. Their families forced to cover their cost during the Government Shutdown as the American Public grows more tired of some members of congress and whats seen as less than dignified leadership. Do you think senator reid doesnt like our veterans or the va in particular . Im happy to answer the question about senator reid personally, i think he very highly values veterans. As to why we are unable congress is unable to do its business, i will leave to the members to discuss. And developing now, the president set to nominate the first woman to head the fed. Why main street and wall street are relieved by his choice. Police in San Francisco about to release new information within this hour about a body found in a stairwell of the hospital and it is likely a patient who disappeared from her room two weeks ago. Hi, everyone, im tamron hall. News nation is following what could be the lasting picture of this Government Shutdown. The body of pfc Cody Patterson whose family gave permission to show the transfer. His casket arrived with the bodies of three other american soldiers killed in afghanistan on sunday. Their remains were greeted by defense secretary chuck hagel but some of the families had to pay their own flights to the ceremony because of the Government Shutdown. They did not get emergency benefits, 100,000 pays within 36 hours of a death. However, maryland based Fisher House Foundation stepped in to cover the cost the government would not pay. Fisher house has always been about family. So it was just it was something i felt compelled to do. Right now congress is working on a fix. The house is expected to vote in the next hour on a republican measure that would allow the pentagon to pay death benefits during the shutdown. A new ap poll shows 62 blame the shutdown on republicans in congress. 49 say president obama and democrats in Congress Share the blame. The poll also shows this incredible number, congress has an Approval Rating now of just 5 . The president is at 37 . All of this comes amid new signs of movement in the stalemate over this Government Shutdown and raising the debt limit. Well get into that in a minute. But first jim mick la chef xi joins us. This may be one of the lasting images when we think of the impact of the shutdown. The president , jay carney had more reaction to whats happened here. Whats clear and whats the good news about this is fixing this problem appears to be an extremely fast track. Lightning speed when you think about congress. And there are some indications that all of this could be put back into place and properly fixed by the perhaps as early as the end of the day. Another piece of good news in regard to that, even though some of these death benefits have been delayed, that money for now 26 Service Members who have died either in combat, accidents or other causes, those 26 members have had 100,000 in death benefits put aside within the pentagon budget. That money is already been a allocat allocated, once the president signs the law, with a push of the button the pentagon can get that process started to have that money wired to those families. Usually it takes somewhere between 28 hours to three days for that process to be completed, tamron. Let me play, mik, what jay carney just said regarding the president being very disturbed at learning about the issue and to your point its expected to be remedied today. Lets play it. The president was very disturbed to learn of this problem. And he directed the department of defense to work with the office of management and budget and his lawyers to develop a possible solution. And he expects this he expects, rather, the president expects this to be fixed today. Which is exactly what you said as well. You know, there was a question when the Congress Passed the pay the military now law so that military Service Members could receive their pay and allowances, like housing allowances for example, during this shutdown. But it only provided for pay and allowances. So that got the lawyers here at d. O. D. And Justice Department putting their Heads Together to see if they could somehow use that law to provide the benefits. It was decided by both the pentagon and justice that it couldnt be done. Hence it had to be thrown back to congress for that fix, tamron. Thank you very much. Lets bring in nbc news capitol hill correspondentelly odonnell, also nbc News National investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff and john salts, i would like to start with you, you have been very vocal about this issue and you and others are concerned about other benefits that vets are expected that could be impacted by the shutdown. Weve had over 9,000 veterans contact us and check our box in our email operation specifically saying they are affected by the shutdown. Its a variety offish y isfis ff theres a natural disaster, the National Guard cant respond. We have veterans who lost an arm or leg in vietnam or iraq or afghanistan, in two weeks wont get benefits anymore. What happens to retiree benefits. You heard general shinseki testify, hes been very vocal about the backrepublicans in congress put a lot of pressure about the claims that have happened through ptsd or agent orange and these backlogs and claims are going way up. Theres a tremendous amount of issues. The only way to fix the issueses towelfy fund the entire government immediately. Veterans are affected by all departments. Kelly, this wall street journal oped by paul ryan, why people believe this may be an olive branch or something. He says the president is giving congress silent treatment. Thats a shame to break the deadlock both sides should agree to common sense reforms of the countrys entitlement and tax codes and he goes on to talk about entitlement reform but does not focus in on kelly, we we know has been the rallying cry for a lot of conservatives which is the president S Health Care law. Our First Read Team seems to believe that may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Everything paul ryan is discussing in the oped has been discussed in prior meeting with leadership and checked off the list here. Well, part of what weve had is this shutdown began in a battle over the Health Care Law versus keeping government open and could those two be put together . Now they are expanding number of issues on the table. And the upside to that could be theres more to talk about, perhaps more room for some discussion on how to find Common Ground on some of those areas, die diem if a sizing the focus on changes to the Health Care Law which they do not want to see and have been revery clear they are not going to make changes of any big nature. Having more issues could be a path to getting to a conversation. Theres still lots of other wrinkles in this that are substantial over whether or not theres real negotiating that could begin. By expanding the number of issues and deemphasizing the Health Care Law, there could be a way to cool temperatures. I think what prettity much all of us saw, theres no mention of president S Health Care law, he says here, what paul ryan called for were some of the very things that obama and democrats have already put on table, medicare means testing . Check. Further long term entitlement cuts . Check. Bipartisan tax reform. Check. How does this play with the conservatives who do not want obama care off the table as its been put obama care or bust . For those most hardened on that it wont be enough. But you can expand the group of people willing to be a part of the conversation. Were seeing more of that. Im talking to senators who are republicans and who are not among the more vocal tea Party Affiliated type senators looking for these sort of topic areas to say, cant we come together. These issues have been talked about before. But perhaps they could be talked about in the context of the debt ceiling, coming to some agreement, these are not new issues but there is an urgency to get something done. Could they find a way to reach longer term budget agreements to deal with these issues . Part of what you could see is that the sequester levels weve talked about, perhaps some give on that in exchange for other kinds of cuts. All of that could be on the table. I think paul ryan is sort of a messenger to say lets make it a bigger conversation. Speaking of the messenger, youve had excellent reporting today regarding their role in maybe getting into the heads of some conservatives who are exclusively focused on obama care. Right, fascinating letter today from koek industries, distancing the company, the brothers themselves from the whole fight over obama care and tieing it to a Government Shutdown and debt ceiling. Letter to members of congress saying, look, while we oppose obama care, we do not endorse the idea the legislative tactics of tieing obama care to shutting the government down. Instead the letter says, congress should focus on these efforts, balancing the budget, tightening and cutting cronyism, some of the things paul ryan is talking about in the oped. Whats fascinating about this, many of the groups that have been pushing the whole fight over obama care have been funded by the in not the Koch Brothers themselves but organizations that they have helped fund. Theres one freedom partners that doled over 230 million over the last year. Two groups like Heritage Action and tea party patriots, other groupses that have specifically pushed the tactic of using obama care to defund the government or using defounding the government as a wedge to get obama care defunded. Now here we have the Koch Brothers who helped foster that movement saying, slow down, were not there. Thats not what we think congress should focusing on. Michael, thanks for those details. Well talk with all you soon. Wall street reacting positively to the historic announcement president obama is set to make in the next hour, nominating janet yellen to be the feds first female chair. The dow is right now up a few points, 54 points. Why wall street and main street seem to be giving yellen a thumbs up.

Just in case they dont. Toyota. Lets go places, safely. President obama will nominate janet yellen as chair of the fed. If confirmed by the senate, she will become the first women to head the bank in National History and first democrat in the post in more than a quarter century. Yellen is known for being one of the sharpest minds at the fed. She was recently named by wall street journal as one of the most accurate of the 14 fed policy makers based on her recent predictions and also one of the first to warn of the hoising collapse in 2007. But, yellen was not the president s first choice for the job. He was said to have favored Larry Summers but summers took himself out of the running after strong opposition from Senate Democrats in july, a third of the Senate Democratic caucus wrote a letter to the president urging him to pick yellen over summers. Joining me now, tyler mathison, ive been see s blurbs that the markets are reacting well and main street. She is known for being one of the first inside the fed to have warned about the possibility of a housing collapse and the Great Recession during those years in the middle of the last decade when Interest Rates were low and housing prices were going way up. You mentioned her history as and economist and professional, one of the ironies here, her first job as a professor of economics at harvard, whom did she teach . Larry summers, the guy who just referenced as president obamas potentially first choice until the political flak started flying. She is favor on wall street because shegs widely regarded as a person who will continue the monetary easing policies that ben bernanke has been known for. That is why wall street likes her. The idea of continuing to pump money into the system by buying federal treasury securities and Mortgage Backed securities, that is something that she has supported. So wall street likes her. Shes in favor of keeping Interest Rates down. That would be why main street likes her. Its interesting with the timing with the government shut down and the debate over debt ceiling. Those are the factors she knows exist right now but there are so many other unknown variables when you look at the global market. With both of those said, what is her immediate concern you believe on this job . She wouldnt get this job until mr. Bernankes term ends in january. And we would certainly hope that by then well have clarity on whats going to happen with respect to the debt ceiling and government slowdown or shutdown, excuse me. Those hopefully will be in her rearview mirror. Of more immediate effect will be what is the state of the economy come january if these two dual crises continues, what will the hit be to the Economic Growth that shell deal with . How will she have to respond to that . Will she continue to pump money in to keep the economy going. Shell aim to keep Interest Rates low to help the economy. Globally europe seems to be improving, thats a good news scenario there. Some of the developing world that has been affected by slowdowns elsewhere in the world, that seems to be coming back more slowly. Shes got no shortage of problems on her plate. The one that most people would say is how is she going to unwind all of the security purchases that the fed has been doing, how slowly quickly will she do that . These issues hopefully will be resolved but the ramifications and aftershocks of the continued inability of congress to get things down. While it may not have a huge impact within wall street. On main street people are less than confident when we look at the unemployment number and Housing Market as it recovers as well. Certainly the dysfunction on capitol hill and between the capitol hill and administration is something that shes going to have to deal with. And the economic fallout from that, its certainly right now slowing the u. S. Economy. And if we lurch from crisis to crisis, that is something shes going to have to deal with in her role as fed chairman, assuming she is confirmed. Most people would say that is a very strong likelihood. Remember, tamron, that last month, when the fed met and decided not to pull back or taper those bond purchases, one of the things the fed cited. We just learned this in the minutes that just came out within the last 21 minutes from that meeting, was that the fed was very worried about the impending Government Shutdown and even more worried about the economic effects that a debt crisis would have. And thats one of the key reasons why they chose at that meeting not to cease their purchases or dial them back in the least. They were worried about that. And that is certainly something on the horizon and janet yellen will have to deal with. Tyler mathison. Well carry the president s remarks live for you in the top of the next hour.
