[0:02] With the clock still ticking toward a
[0:04] Monday midnight deadline, neither side
[0:06] is budging in the budget standoff. And
[0:10] as Israelis honor Yeetsakin, the
[0:12] questions about his security continue to
[0:15] mount.
[0:17] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:24] and this is John Roberts reporting. Good
[0:26] evening. The corridor of power in

[1:13] don't want to shut down the government,
[1:14] >> but only if the president agrees to
[1:16] balance the budget in seven years.

[1:21] anyone up here to give him a blank check
[1:24] or an open credit card without any kind
[1:28] of discipline fiscally.
[1:30] >> The president has said he'll consider a
[1:32] balanced budget, but not the budget the
[1:34] Republicans have written and not with
