Org, the war and peace report. Im amy goodman. Congress approved an 11th hour deal late last night to end the 16 day partial Government Shutdown and pull the nation back from the brink of an default. The spending measure passed the senate and house of representatives after republicans dropped efforts to use the legislation to force changes in the Affordable Care act. Obama signed the spending bill last night. Once again i want to thank the leadership for coming together and getting this done. Hopefully next time it wont be in the 11th hour. One of the things i said throughout this process is, we have got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis. The spending bill offers only a temporary fix. It funds the government until january 15 and raises the debt ceiling until february 7. We go to washington dc where were joined by longtime democratic Congressmember John Conyers of michigan, Ranking Member of the house Judiciary Committee. He has served more than 48 years in congress, longest ever by any african american. Welcome to democracy now talk about the significance of this crisis for the moment being averted and what it cost the country. Top of the morning, amy. After 16 days, we finally at the to get to were able some agreement that is really very shortlived. The continuing resolution only lasts until the middle of january, on Martin Luther kings birthday, ironically, and the debt ceiling expires on february 7. So this is merely kicking the can down the road, as they say. Important i am still trying to rationalize how the nontea Party Republicans in partyse can let the tea oriented members in their caucus control everything. It is really kind of disappointing because you cant overiate over a dispute one measure which creates health care for millions of americans that cant afford it, that we would close down the funding of the entire government. This is a tactic that is so obviously out of place and makes the legislative process literally unworkable. So it is my hope that we can figure out a way to get this rolling again. Speaker boehner is in an incredible position. His legacy is going to be determined by whether he in to theto cave ultra conservatives in his caucus or not. Seemed to me, it that he wanted to be more ofperative but he was afraid even being dismissed from the speakership. I think he is over that kind of , hop thomas kind of a hump but at a cost of 24 billion, 800,000 people out of work, and in the government after we signed it late last night, they say all government workers, please come to work the very next day. Of 24 you say cost billion, why did it cost the country to shut down . Well, the shutdown took funding wherever there was is lacedunding, which into so many of the important , for young people, for schools, for health care. And all of those people that would have been working would have been getting income and spending it. So that is where the cost figure comes from, from standard poors. And another 3 billion dollars, clearly, senator Mitch Mcconnell whos been credited with helping to resolve the conflict, got a big payment back for kentucky, a 3 billion earmark for a dam. Yes. There are a lot of things that were filtered into it there really had nothing to do with it. But we are still wrestling in the minds of many legislators, the issue between austerity and investment. And to me, that argument has been resolved in favor of investment, but there are still people who think that we can save our way and this overemphasis on the national debt, to me, ignores the fact that we lost jobs. We lost work. Bill. D a full employment it is my hope that we can take the aim to create full employment for everybody in america and put it number one on our domestic agenda so that we create jobs and that we train andle for important work how to work. President obama has agreed to put Social Security and medicare on the table. You rallied with members of the progressive caucus members and retiree advocates against a chained cpi. This certainly isnt over. No, not at all. You know, the president has been stable and he and majority leader reid, they set a good example for us. Reallyhink he has got to create a legacy that has a lot more to do with putting everybody back to work. The recession is not over yet. The recovery is slow. Unemployment is still way too high. Your is so much more that we could there is so much more that we could do. And to think that you would have so many members, 144 in the house and 18 in the senate, who would say, well, theres nothing wrong with shutting down the whole government, not raising the debt ceiling, and really hurting the Credit Rating of the largest, most powerful country in civilization. It is just unimaginable the actions they would turn to to get their way on a very small and modest bill, obamacare. We are talking about universal health care for everybody, singlepayer. That is what the new direction is. And yet this kind of everything or nothing and were going to get our way on any bill, that ord of an attitude destroys compromises the democratic legislation do you think we will see singlepayer in your lifetime . I mean, youre celebrating a must 50 years in congress. In the next 50 years that you serve . I think we are on the way to singlepayer because it has been proven in all of the studies in countries that have it that it is costeffective and it is healthier for people. It saves money. We spend far more money than on health the world care. Our results are really not that encouraging. We are going to go to break, but we are asking you to stay with us for the hour because were going to go back to a case that has been unresolved for 28 years, one you been involved with from the very beginning, calling for hearings and an investigation. It is the death of alex odeh, who was one of the leaders of the american Arab Antidiscrimination Committee, blown up by a pipe bomb when he opened the door to his office and received a package. This was in Orange County, california. Were going to talk about the call for new investigation in his assassination. Stay with us. [music break] this is democracy now , democracynow.

The man who was killed by the blast, alex odeh, aged 41, married, the father of three young daughters. The bomb shattered glass and several other offices. Debris was everywhere, the the wall was blown out. It looked like a combat zone. Today where odeh at the hospital, his brother told of numerous Death Threats received by his brother. I dont have any idea who done it. He had been receiving threatening phone calls. Radio,fbi quickly named the Jewish Defense league, as a focus of its investigations in the murder of alex odeh. But 28 years later, no one has been questioned or indicted. Just hours before he was killed, odeh appeared on nightline debating a member of the jdl. Shortly after skilling, jdl plus chair irv rubin said, i have no tears for mr. Odeh. He got exactly what he deserved. The jdl was linked to a wave of bombings in the 1980s and now considered a terrorist group by the u. S. Government.

When he opened the door, he was blown to pieces. Yearsunately, des
