carly fiorina vice-chairperson of the national senatorial campaign committee. also political contributor and democratic strategist james carville. james, we're told the president wants to see some kind of an agreement within 36 hours. what do you make of all this? how do you see this? >> you know, this is a great civics lesson. because we have the president and the congressional leadership. and they go to the white house and they sit around a table and everybody there. in reality what's going on is senator reid and senator mcconnell are kind of meeting in some closet or somewhere deep in the bow else of the capitol scratching something on back of the napkin looks like it's going to be the kind of deal that's going to happen. one of these fascinating things of the way that washington works. and this thing will probably happen and as jessica was saying, it's going to happen late because the terror of what would happen if it doesn't, you go back and remember t.a.r.p. remember that voted that down and then they had to go back up the stock market fell 770 points. an

also carli fiorina, advisor to republican senatorial committee. also former senior campaign adviser to john mccain and before that ceo of hewlett-packard. let me start with you carly. you heard those sound bites. it seems like ending the corporate jet tax hike would be uncontroversial, but it seems like some of your fellow republicans are drawing a hard line on any revenue-raising proposals whatsoever. do you believe we can make a dent without doing that? >> i think first of all with regard to the rhetoric of millionaires and billionaires, the problem is when you look at the fine print what democrats are really talking about is raising taxes on a family that makes $250,000. and if you're a nurse and a fireman raising two kids, you don't feel very wealthy right now. so i think that's the problem. the rhetoric doesn't match the reality. i think, however, for americans one of the frustrating things about this whole debate in washington is there has been a deal on the table for quite some time. and i believe the deal would get bipartisan support. that

strategyist cornell -- and former senate candidate mccain advisor and former hue let pack yard ceo, carly fiorina. carly, just in terms of the politics of, this how do you think republicans are looking at this in terms of the political who's going to get blamed for this? what are the politics behind this maneuvering? >> well, i'm not a politician so i'm probably not the best person to ask about the politics. but as a republican i would say this. i think it's disappointing that several, a handful of freshmen republican congress people, don't understand how much impact they've already had. and what i mean by that is, the republicans and the republicans alone, i would argue, have totally changed the conversation in washington, d.c. over the last less than six months. from how much should we spend to how much must we save. and from a belief that the way to close deficits is to raise taxes to a recognition that the only way to close deficits is to cut spending. that is a tremendous accomplishment. and i also think it's worth reflecting on, and i hope that white house is reflecting tonight, on the role

we're not done there, we've got senator lee joining us, carly fiorina and don imus and the list goes on and on and straegize where these guys go. the house of representatives revealing the top headlines of the moment looking at the reid plan for a variation of it and target that to essentially slap that down as the senate slapped only a couple of hours after the house voted the boehner plan down. a little bit of legislative tot for tat. and when it goes through the gobbledygook of getting legislation of its on through. and the reid plan, not only would be dead on arrival in the house as it presently stands, it might not even pass within the senate, something that happened close to midnight or thereafter. so that debate continues. we are he getting a sense whether there's an emergency plan on the part of the treasury in case it blows up in its face because even though the government might be shutting down on tuesday or a good chunk of it. do not think that taxes are going to out of the blue miraculously, be not taken out of your paycheck. they still will be. so, revenue will still be

that's the question that carly fiorina and nira santandin will answer. let's start with you, carly.rough day on capitol hill and not much has happened. we tick down to default. what happened? >> three things going on that make for high drama and a lot of frustration, as you describe on your program. i would argue this is politics unusual, and let me tell you what i mean by that. first, a genuine, fill so offic debate going on between people who have genuine differences and passionately held differences about how to grow the economy and what the proper role of government is. that discussion has gotten attached to a debt ceiling debate. and i think it got attached to that, what has in the past been very routine, because of the normal processes of government, appropriations and budgeting, which is where these discussions normally happen, haven't occurred. the democratic senate hasn't passed a budget in almost three years and the appropriations process has ground to a halt. and the third think i would just say is -- >> let me just interrupt through. let me interrupt you. >> yeah, sure.
