Senate led by democrats voted against it tuesday. The idea of a conference came up again during the white house talk. Weve appointed conferees to sit down and work with our senate colleagues. All were asking here is a discussion and fairness for the American People under obama care. Then Top Democrats in both the house and senate appeared before the camaras. The Senate Majority leader says he offered to go to conference but got a no from boehner. He said well be happy to talk about dis vision nary spending discretionary spending, well talk about anything that you want to talk about and he says, no, all i want to do is go conference on a shortterm c. R. We have a debt ceiling staring us in the face. The president made it clear he wont macon sessions on his healthcare law if its attached to any spending plan. Democrats are demanding a clean bill. We heard from the president earlier in an interview with cnbc. We have a situation right now where if john boehner the speaker of the house puts a bill on the floor to reopen the government at current funding levels so that we can then negotiate on a rell budget that allows us to stop governing real budget that allows us to stop governing from crisis to crisis, it will pass. No. Real progress or compromise at the white house the district and n. I. H. Democrats believe its just an attempt to buy the g. O. P. To minimize the pch. R. Damage so the blame game continues. Were following breaking news tonight military Academy Football teams will be allowed to play ball despite the shut down. Now that includes Saturdays Navy air force game in annapolis. The department of defense temporarily suspended the games but the department decided to allow the games since they are paid for with independent funds not under congressional authority. The decision only affects this weekends games. Also tonight hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the Nations Capital we know see the monuments that government shut downs mean some of the more popular atracks shins ace attractions are still closed. Karen. Shawn its almost like an unplanned not organized peoples rebellion. Tourists from all over the country traveled long distances to get here and they are refusing to let lawmakers indecision interfere with their vacation. Make no mistake visitors to the National Mall can read the signs and see the barricades. Theyre just ignoring them. Weve traveled Cross Country hoping to see our National Parks and sure enough everything is shut down. That didnt stop him and his wife from trying to see the sites. Eve been rideing bicycles to get around weve been riding bicycles to get around. Not disappointing to keep tourists from getting as close to the memorial as they possibly could same at the vietnam wall. The barricades were deliberately pushed aside. You know this park is closed . It is . I dont see anything stopping any veterans or anybody else. I think thats wonderful. I think its people being upset with our elected officials. There was something beautifully serine about the scenery around the mall. It was a perfect setting for a wedding. You changed my life. I promise to always love you and be devoted. These two came from North Carolina to be married. When their wedding venue was shut down with the government the person who arranged their marriage arranged an outdoor solution. A lot of people are being affected by our governments use or misuse of their powers. Not just the tourists are complaining but so are those dependent on the tourist trade. Ask this Street Vendor how is business . Its very slow. The vendor who normally works next door her took the day off. For the record the National Park service says its parks and monuments are closed the government shut down and it has shuttered 400 National Parks across the country and that includes the grand canyon and statue of liberty up in new york. Thank you. Those closures include the world war ii memorial for the second day in the row the members of the greatest member generation defied that ban to tour the landmark. Another wave of world war ii veterans boarded honor flights headed to the world war ii memorial knowing full well it would be closed when they arrived. Its upsetting because its rather childish and theres no end to it. But for a second day barricades were once again pushed aside allowing them in. Someone moved barriers to let you through because it is supposed to be shut down. Well thank god. If i had been here she and i would have been on the front lawn pushing it down. Congress failure closed the memorials and a lot of lawmakers are taking part in what amounts to a boisterous act of civil disobedience. Were here to honor the people from our states. The elected officials that dont have members from their states theyre trying to take advantage of these veterans to score political points and its in fur rating. So infuriating. So did this change the lawmakers views of the shut down. Veterans say the politics surrounding the shut down and this memorial is frustrating. Why cant they get together and do something . Instead theyre just fighting one another. This country isnt used to individuals you know shutting things down. Were used to lifting things up. Miller was admonished by his son by using colorful language when he was asked about congress. They ought to get their rears kicked. We didnt give up. We just kept going. But in the end for him and so many other veterans this day was not about politics but instead about having a personal and peaceful moment at their memorial. Thank god i live to see it. In washington Jennifer Davis fox 5 news. The National Parks spokesman stresses while the memorial stays closed the world war ii veterans will be allowed to enter. Everyday matters. Dozens over childrens parents and teachers rallied on capitol hill. They called on congress to stop making cuts to the Head Start Program that provides free health and Education Programs to lowincome children sequestration cuts caused 50,000 children nationwide to be dropped from the program and the latest shut down could put more children in jeopardy. The house approved to let the d. C. Government function during the shut down until midseptember. The Senate Democrats are rejecting it. Paul wagoner has a closer look tonight. D. C. Mayor said the district government is open for business and all City Employees are coming to work despite the fact the leaders in the house couldnt muster enough votes to exempt the district from the shut down. I thought that they could make the case that this wasnt about the veterans administration. This wasnt about the park service. This was about a city that had no business being included in this in the first place and at the first opportunity should be exempted from this process and that case was not made. In deference to not wanting to take a piecemeal approach. The mayor was so angry he called the white house and according to a Senior Administration official spoke with a Senior Advisor on intergovernmental affairs. The mayor says the city has enough funds to last two weeks and after that paychecks to city workers may come to a halt. People understand what budget autonomy is. People understand that our we raise our own money 6 billion and i hope they understand we contribute 3 1 2 to 4 billion in federal taxes to the government of the United States that we have no business being involved in this and everyday that goes but it is an unconscionable reprehensible shame that we continue to be included in this nonsense. D. C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes norton made an impark shinned plea to exempt the district from the shut down impark shinned plea. Her fellow democrats held out for a continuing resolution to fund the government all inclusive. The mayor said the estimate is about 6 million a day. If the shut down goes on more than two weeks its possible city workers will not get paychecks after that but it will come retroactively. In the fox 5 newsroom im paul wagoner.
