[Kate Bolduan, Cnn Anchor:] Let's begin this hour, though, with breaking news, those just-released poll numbers that may spell big trouble for the GOP heading into next year's midterm elections, and the new numbers, they are coming out just as Democrats prepare for their own bit of damage control. The president set to address those glitches plaguing the Obamacare roll-out at the White House today. Let's get more on all of this from senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta. Good morning, Jim.
[Jim Acosta, Cnn Senior White House Correspondent:] Good morning, Kate. That's right. A new CNNORC poll finds a majority of Americans are not happy with the Republican control of the House of Representatives, but the GOP pay have caught a big political break as you said the president is set to admit later today mistakes have been made with Obamacare.
[Acosta:] The shutdown ended days ago, but the hangover is still lingering, and it's bad news for Republicans. A new CNNORC poll finds just 38 percent of Americans believe GOP control of the House of Representatives is good for the country. More than half say it's a bad them. But it gets worse for House Speaker John Boehner. A sizable majority of Americans say he should be replaced. Only 30 percent say he should stay. The numbers are slightly better for President Obama; 44 percent have confidence in the president versus 31 percent in Republicans in Congress. GOP leaders say it is blow back.
[Senator Mitch Mcconnell , Kentucky:] A number of us were saying back in July that this strategy could not and would not work and, of course, it didn't. So there will not be another government shutdown. You can count on that.
[Acosta:] But the end of the budget brinkmanship has shifted the spotlight right where Republicans want it, on Obamacare. Later today, aides say the president will acknowledge the website's now infamous glitches and laying out solutions for fixing them. The pressure is on while the program has seen nearly a half million applications and 19 million visitors to healthcare.gov, the Obama administration admits the web site experience has been frustrating for many Americans.
[Senator John Mccain , Arizona:] It's been a fiasco. Send Air Force One out to Silicon Valley, load it up with smart people, bring them back to Washington, and fix this problem. It's ridiculous. Everybody knows that.
[Acosta:] Conservatives are calling for the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, saying she is resisting requests to testify on Capitol Hill even though she has time to go on "The Daily Show."
[Senator Ted Cruz , Texas:] Absolutely she should resign. Why? Because the program she has implemented, Obamacare, is a disaster.
[Representative Nancy Pelosi , House Minority Leader:] Ridiculous, but nonetheless, I do think what has happened is unacceptable, has to be fixed, and that is what will happen.
[Acosta:] Now over the weekend, administration officials said they were bringing in experts from both the government and the private sector to fix Obamacare. But the administration also cautions that the program is much more than a website. That it's already providing consumer protections that did not exist before Obamacare. Expect the president to repeat that message later today, but one key metric that the administration is not revealing, how many people have enrolled in Obamacare. The White House is still not revealing that information Kate.
[Bolduan:] Yes. Saying we won't get that number until November, but that's the number everyone is waiting for at this point. Jim, great to see you. Thank you so much. Just ahead, a good reality check for you, what is really working and what is not in the new healthcare law. Also ahead, CNN goes one on one with Obamacare's probably biggest opponent at this point, Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
[Chris Cuomo, Cnn Anchor:] Now, I want to tell you about the arrest of two escaped killers caught on video. The convicted murderers were captured over the weekend at a Florida hotel, but they managed to escape in a very unusual way, a way that may reveal a dangerous lapse in prison protocol. CNN's Nick Valencia is live in Panama City, Florida this morning. Good morning, Nick. What do we know?
[Nick Valencia, Cnn Correspondent:] Good morning, Chris. Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker will be waking up in the Bay County Jail here behind me and investigators tell CNN that they are expecting more arrests as they are looking to exactly who helped them pull this thing off.
[Unidentified Female:] My God, those are U.S. Marshals.
[Valencia:] For the two convicted killers, this cell phone video shows the moment their man hunt ended, just 80 miles from where their escape began. Handcuffed and shackled, Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker said little during their first court appearance after being arrested.
[Marty West, U.s. Marshall's Fugitive Task Force:] We had information that they were here at the Coconut Grove Motor Inn.
[Valencia:] Officials tell CNN the two were waiting for a ride from Atlanta in this Panama City beach motel when they were busted. Unarmed, they were detained without incident. At a press conference on Sunday, Florida officials addressed the bureaucratic blunder. The two convicts serving life sentences were accidentally released after showing forged paperwork. Apparently, this had happened twice before. Only the inmates were caught before they got out.
[Michael Crews, Corrections Secretary, Florida Department Of Corrections:] It is embarrassing. But my concentration at this point is, I think everyone else here is making sure that we come up with a process and a procedure that prohibits this from happening in the future.
[Valencia:] Law enforcement has launched an investigation to figure out how Jenkins and Walker duped the system and obtained the fake documents.
[Jerry Dailey, Enforcement Commissioner, Florida Department Of Law:] There is speculation, an underlying speculation, that there was a source where for certain a sum of money that these documents could be constructed for $8,000. Whether that is true or not will be determined.
[Valencia:] CNN legal analyst, Mark O'Mara says they must have had help.
[Mark O'mara, Cnn Legal Analyst:] It has to be somebody on the inside. It has to be somebody in the courthouse, maybe even somebody in the state attorney's position, a secretary that can get that paperwork done.
[Valencia:] Standing at his father's grave, Robert Pugh chokes up. While his father's killer, Charles Walker, was on the run, he struggled reliving his family's nightmare.
[Roeco Pugh Iii, Victim's Son:] He had no remorse when he killed our father in front of us the first time.
[Valencia:] Police are now promising to hold all who contributed accountable telling CNN that additional arrests are expected. State officials say because of this incident, they will now require a judge to verify an inmate's early release. As for what's next for Walker and Jenkins, they got their next court appearance on Friday Kate.
[Boldaun:] All right, thank you so much for that. Now, let's move and talk about some big money this morocco. JPMorgan could be paying a record $13 billion in fines to the Justice Department. The reported settlement follows an investigation into the bank's role in the 2008 financial crisis. Christine Romans is here to talk more about this. So let's break this down. Of course, the question is what does this mean for JPMorgan and Jamie Dimon?
[Christine Romans, Cnn Business Correspondent:] Jamie Dimon, this has been a very, very bad year. It breaks down to about $9 billion in fines and $4 billion in consumer relief, some op that will be loan modifications. They're not sure how that is going to work just yet. That's the numbers there. Look, Jamie Dimon, someone who for those of us who covered him, he's someone many people thought could be a treasury secretary some day, now he is being made to pay for what are the worst offenses of the mortgage-backed security crisis. Much of this is because they bought Bern Stern's Washington Mutual now, as a favor. Actually Jamie Dimon described it to the fed in the heat of the 2008 crisis, now they are having to pay up big time.
[Bolduan:] But paying up big time, you are talking a record penalty, $13 billion. It's still not over for them.
[Romans:] No, it looks as though we are told that Jamie Dimon would push there would not be any criminal investigation and the criminal investigation, settle the civil problem for $13 billion and end the criminal investigation. He did not get his way on that. Attorney General Eric Holder and folks in California, actually Sacramento, criminal investigation continues.
[Bolduan:] Much more to come on that. It's really interesting how far they have come. It started with JPMorgan offering up $1 billion to settle this. They are at 13.
[Romans:] The $13 billion is a lot of money and this is costing the bank all of this litigation.
[Bolduan:] Christine, thank you so much.
[Cuomo:] People say if you are a criminal, you are a criminal just because if you are rich, you have to pay like everybody else. A lot of headlines this morning so let's get right to Michaela and the NSA is back in the news, not for good reason.
[Michaela Pereira, Cnn Anchor:] Not for good reason, this morning France's foreign minister has summoned the U.S. ambassador to Paris over NSA spy allegations. A French newspaper reports that the NSA tapped more than 70 million phone calls in France over a one-month period. The paper cited documents provided by NSA leaker Edward Snowden. Mexico lashing out against a new report from a German magazine claiming that the agency hacked into the public e-mail account of former President Felipe Calderon. Mexico's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the practice is, quote, "unacceptable, illegitimate and against the law." Dozens of people killed in Baghdad when a suicide bomber slammed his minibus into a cafe full of customers. Police and medics say at least 38 people died in that attack alone. Hospital officials say a total of at least 45 people died in sectarian violence in Iraq over the weekend. A disturbing discovery at New York Kennedy Airport, security officials find a large number of knives and blades in a man's carry-on luggage. Timothy Schiavo Jr. was charged Saturday with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. Police the 29-year-old from Long Island was carrying several scissors, lighters and matches. New Jersey now the 14th state to recognize same-sex marriages. Couples began saying "I do" just after midnight. The State Supreme Court upholding a lower court ruling and handing defeat to Governor Chris Christie who wanted the marriages put on hold. Beth Asaro and Joanne Schailey were the first couple in the state to marry. They have been together 27 years. A Jets fan caught on video allegedly punching a woman in the face during a brawl Sunday at Metlife Stadium. The Jets won in overtime over the Patriots. The video shows the male Jets fan being pulled away from the brawl before he was confronted by the female Patriots fan. That's when he hauls off and cocks her one. New Jersey state police are investigating. Returning to our Jets fans.
[Cuomo:] That's the worst.
[Pereira:] It's the worst. It's a game, it's a game.
[Cuomo:] Violating just about every rule there is.
[Pereira:] Every rule. It's a game.
[Bolduan:] Let's get over to Indra Petersons for a check of the weather. How is it looking on this Monday?
[Indra Petersons, Ams Meteorologist:] Maybe it's still warm to you guys. Cold to me, we are talking really cold this time. We are talking about cold fronts making their way across the country brining cold arctic air with it, where temperatures today are well below, especially around the Great Lakes. Take a look at it. There are three fronts out there. Look for some light showers around the gulf and also right around the Great Lakes. Now, let's talk about, yes, the cold air that's coming in from an Alberta Clipper. So that will only reinforce the cold air that is already in place today. Now Alberta Clipper is dry. We don't look for a lot of precip or rain or even snow out of it. What we really look out are temperatures that look like this. These are the highs today, Chicago, 49 degrees. That is 11 degrees below normal even for this time of the year. Kansas City 55, going towards tomorrow, we are still going to be talking about this cold air. Eventually, this cold air spreads off into the northeast. We will drop a good 15 degrees in the northeast by the middle of the week. Other thing I want to talk to you about is we have Raymond, this is our first major hurricane out there in the Eastern Pacific currently release 120-mile-per-hour winds. Not expected to move ashore, but notice the outer the bands are bringing heavy rains to the region. We are still going to be talking even about isolated amounts of up to 8 inches as possible. The good piece of news here is it's expected to move away from shore as it makes its way out in the next several days, but either way, the first major hurricane of the season, hard to believe we have been that lucky.
[Bolduan:] Moving towards the end of October. I like the sign of that. Thanks, Indra.
[Cuomo:] A little break on this Monday morning. When we come back, President Obama finally about to answer for all those Obamacare glitches, what will he say?
[Bolduan:] Plus one of Obamacare's biggest opponent, gets a hero's welcome in Texas and he isn't giving up on his fight. Our one on one with Senator Ted Cruz.
