consider both of these speeches, joining me now, the host of msnbc's "hardball," chrisç matthews and msnbc contributor melissa harrisis, your reaction to first the president's speech. >> well, i thought the president used a couple of words, fair and balance, fox commercial, interesting, fair, then balance, then fair and balance over and over again to make a case for his position. i thought he came off as the good mother in the old testament story of king solomon who was willing to give the baby to the other mother, whether the dishonest mother was willing to kill the baby than have the other have it. i think he's leaning towards compromise and the republicans are leaning against compromise. there was a dishonest statement by boehnor, there was no -- as you were suggesting, there was no bipartisan action by the congress on the republican proposal. that vote in the house, i believe, was 234 votes for the cut, cap, and balance bill and only 5 democrats within that 234, which was, in itself, up to republican support in the house. i don't know who's writing his stuff. we had a senator on "hardball" today saying the same

democrat from delaware senator chris kunz, do you feel as if harry reid and mitch mcconnell want to seeg of six come to fruition on the senate floor? >> well, i can't speak for leader reid and senator mcconnell but i know there is a growing chorus of senators who are joining the gang of six. there's more than 30 as of midday yesterday who signed a bipartisan letter of support. it is a tough, big balanced bipartisan deal that includes some very hard choices and six senators, three democrats, three republicans, who dedicated the last six months to hammering out this framework i think have done a very hard and very good work. at this point that is our only path forward for dealing in a responsible way with our record deficits and debt. the mcconnell-reid framework is an equally valuable and necessary way to get past america's impending default crisis, as you said, just 12 days away. the two aren't necessarily linked but we need to deal with them both at the same time. both s&p and moody's last week gave us dire warnings they might downgrade america's debt rating even if we get past the def

. >> harris: another key player in the crisis speaking with chris wallace today. tim geithner explaining why president obama is against a short plan. >> we're trying to do something important, to avoid default today and-- >> you may end up with default today. >> speaker of the house and has said they're not going to default. >> harris: coverage of the debt crisis, robert gray of the fox business network is watching the overseas markets. first though over to mike emanuel over at the white house. the 4 p.m. deadline, mike, came and went and it's got to be tense for them tonight? >> absolutely, harris, it feels like pressure is certainly ratcheting up. as you mentioned top two democrats in the congress have been meeting with the president and vice-president in the oval office for just over an hour at this point. we know senator harry reid has come up with his own fallback plan which we understand would cut two and a half trillion dollars and run the government until early 2013, it would not increase taxes, today the white house chief of staff put more pressure on con

and we just were talking to mike crapo and to chris van hollen about the possibility that there could be a negotiated solution with a combination of harryeid's plan, john boehner's plan, and real triggers that would enforce the spending cuts to come. is that something that could get your vote if you had the letter of the law written out in a way that was worthy of a short-term extension for a couple of days until this bill could be drafted? >> look, i don't think the sides are that far apart. the thing that republicans are going to insist upon is real cuts, not some of the phony cuts, not some of the gimmicks that senator reid has put forward in his latest proposal, and a pathway to get a result on entitlement reforms. that has to mean that we actually can get something done, because we all know that the biggest part of federal spending is what we call the mandatory side of the budget and that's entitlements, social security, medicare and medicaid. the boehner plan has that. the hard trigger in the boehner plan is you don't get another debt limit increase until you do this. i think the way those two can be melted together, first and for

harris: i do, indeed. thank you very much chris wallace in d.c. continuing coverage of that debt crisis now a showdown throughout the night here on fox news channel. but, first now, on fox report. terrorists have again left their bloody mark on humanity with a pair of attacks designed to murder innocent people. today's attacks blasted through the heart of norway and that nation's worst violence since world war ii. this the scene of the first attack. a bomb exploding right outside some government buildings including the one where the country's prime minister normally works. his advisor saying he was at home today and was not hurt. but investigators saying at least seven people died in the afternoon bombing. the second attack came about two hours later at a youth summer camp northwest of oslo. witnesses saying a man dressed as a police officer opened fire on people there, even shooting some who had jumped into the water to try to swim away from the gunfire. officials saying he killed at least nine people. there is late word investigators have found

that is like harry potter running against luke skywalker. there is no reality to it. >> chris: potter skywalker. that would be a hard choice. >> against voldemort. >> it i overwhelming and the president said even republicans would go on some type of tax hikes on the superrich to get a deal and avoid this calamity. >> chris: he was elected, first of all, to fix the economy which we would all agree he hasn't done. secondly, we were told he was the one that was going to end the partisan rancoa and make it work. doesn't that hurt him and one of the reasons people voted for him is he was going to fix the system. >> there is no evidence that he is not working toward a deal. he is willing to compromise. he is willing to say there is too much spending in this town, let's have substantial cuts. eric cantor has said they had in terms of the biden negotiations, two trillion dollars on the table but eric cantor wasn't willing to say there was some revenue increase to go along with it. >> this president out of step. he does not fundamentally believe that the private sector creates jobs. th

the business about generic that is like harry potter running against luke skywalker there is no reality to it. >> christhat would be a hard choice. >> yes. >> against both of them. >> if you look at the numbers right now, it's overwhelming. the president said even republicans would go for some kind of tax hikes on the super rich in order to gate deal. and avoid the calamity. >> chris: the president came in office and he was elected to fix the economy, which we all agree he hasn't done. we were told he would end the partisan ranker and get the town to work. if they can't get a deal and as it goes on, doesn't it hurt him? one of the reason that people voted for him, he would fix the system. >> there is no evidence he is working toward a deal. he is willing to compromise and he is willing to say, as you point out, there is too much spending in the town, let's have substantial cuts. eric cantor said in terms of the biden negotiation, $2 trillion on the table. but cantor didn't say we have something to go with it. >> this president is out of step with history and where most american people are. he doesn't b

. >> pretty much assumed, chris, you and i would think the boehner bill will not be the last act here, but the harry, however it evolves, can't even get to the floor, won't get to the floor. they won't bring it up until after they have vented on the house side and voted on bainer. >> absolutely. >> all the action is on the house side. i think the senate is basically -- they are basically waiting to see what the house does. can john boehner get the bill through? if he does you'll be looking at harry reid looking at the boehner bill, trying to take the boehner bill, the reid bill and combine them and just a reminder we have six days left before we default on the loans, an incredibly serious situation. >> was the mistake for the white house and treasury to be talking about apocalypse now when apocalypse hasn't happened yet? >> i think it makes it harder for a lot of regular people out there, andrea, who aren't following this minute by minute to grasp the stakes and the consequences because we haven't seen the markets collapse. they have gone down, but we haven't seen them collapse. it makes it harder t

harry potter. >> i think it's out on dvd. >> cool. >> not this one. >> awesome. >> the other six. >> chris is back with a check of the national forecast hello. good morning. we're dealing with extreme dangerous heat across the middle part of the country. now, you look at these temperatures for the afternoon. in some cases, especially to the north and northern plains, you can add another five to even 15 degrees to this. we are going to see some storms to the north and monsoonal moisture moving into the southwest as well. >>> and around the bay area today it will be another comfortable day once we lose some of the low clouds and light rain and drizzle we have around the bay area this morning. we're talking mostly 60s and 70s for the inner bay. you will get numbers closer to 80 inland towards sacramento and morgan hill for the afternoon. but if you want to find more july-like weather, you'll probably have to wait until the middle part of the week as high pressure builds in and the low clouds retreat to the coastline. we'll see temperatures inland in the 80s and 90s as we head toward thursday and friday. that's a look at your weather. bac

. >> and maybe harry reid the democratic leader is hearing that, because, as chris turner our capitolcer reports, he said on the floor, the senate majority leader he'll move forward later on with the reid bill, not trying to shoot down the boehner bill but move on to an actual piece of legislation, maybe amended, modified in ways that might bring republican votes and while we have talked a lot about speaker boehner as the key player it will shift rather quickly to the key players being not just harry reid but mitch mcconnell, the senate republican leader, because it will be critical the next 48 hours, or so to see how many of this is fellow republicans he can bring along if there is a compromise or there are a lot of conservatives in that -- senate republican caucus who dig in, as we have seen a lot of the house conservatives, affiliated with the tea party who gave speaker boehner a fit and can mitch mcconnell deliver the republican votes, to of have some sort of a bipartisan compromise, with harry reid, the next couple of days, because, let's not forget, even if they forge that they

chris? >> nbc's adid iti roy, thanks. >>> finally there's a certain boy wizard casting his magical spell on the box office once again. "harryhe deathly hallows part 2" is breaking records. thursday's midnight showing raked in more than $42 million, breaking the 2009 record of $30 million set by the twilight saga, new moon. it's estimated that the total friday take for the movie will be $80 million which would break the single-day record. that is the news. back to amy, who is out on the plaza. i stood in line to see that movie yesterday. you couldn't -- it was crazy. >> wow. i know. >> 3-d, the glasses and everything. >> wow. all right, chris, thanks so much. want to get a check of the weather from bill karins who is out on the plaza with me, as well. >> good morning to you, amy. all right you're here for a busy, busy weekend. nicole is 40. >> nicole my cousin is 40 today. my brother eric is 43. my parents' anniversary, and my husband jim. >> congratulations to you guys. busy weekend in the city. well, the heat wave across the country is going to steal the headlines not just this weekend but possibly even into next week. i m

. >> chris: the other part, there may be bipartisan willingness to walk away. the other part last night after they heard the boehner plan, harry reid, the senate majority leader and nancy pelosi, the democratic leader in the house both said no. >> absolutely not. and what they're saying is that what you -- i thought it was a revealing moment that you had, chris, with tim geithner when geithner said he thinks there are some republicans who are praying for a default, that's his language and you get the idea, the white house to the extent that bill was talking about the white house as the problem. the white house has said there are some republicans who just are stubborn, resistent to making a deal on any circumstance because they don't want added revenue, they don't want the tax hike and what we saw this week from the democrats, you talk about the white house. the democrats flew over to the white house to say, what are you talking about? you're willing to make significant cuts in terms of medicare, medicaid, social security, you are putting our political fortunes at risk? this is not what we want. you saw move on, you saw aarp. s

harry potter. >> i'm not a fan. >> "captain america," let's talk about that. it is the latest marvel comic character to make it to the big screen. chrisvans plays the comic hero. it was created in 1941 at the start of world war ii. now, he is a human engineer living weapon. he is on the front line. america's world war ii prop gand ga offensive. back in the day he was on the cover of time. the comic character up against hitler on the front cover but there is little mention of the original world war ii mission against then evil tyrant adolph hitler. the film is bursting with action. the performances are strong. the story is weak. and halfway through, i just stopped caring. so ladies, i'll say this, it is a good popcorn film, a decent escape but it will not be top of my list of films to see this weekend. so if you haven't seen harry potter yet, put that top of your list. >> all right. >> all right. comedian reese darby just completed three sellout nights at the comedy club in san francisco. this fall he is coming to the family to cbs starting in a new prime time cbs tv show, how to be a gentleman. we met recently in washington square par

harris county, georgia. now, these suspects are under arrest and head into a police investigation room. what you are about to hear and see is explicit. here is chrisas stupid. i'm a stupid man. >> after "dateline" confronts a potential sex offender here in rural fortson, georgia -- >> you're free to leave. >> what's going to happen? >> get on the ground! >> law enforcement working with the online watchdog group perverted-justice steps in. >> put your hands behind your back. >> even the u.s. marshal and secret service are involved. remember scooby-doo atl-101? 23-year-old denis coulson? he made plans to teach new sex tricks to a girl he was told was 15. >> oh, my god. i'm a [ bleep ]. >> after he's arrested, he's put in an unmarked car and taken to this ems station, where he will be questioned by law enforcement. his car is searched. police find directions to the house, along with condoms and marijuana. >> more tv in here? >> coulson is then brought to a room where he waits to be interrogated. that's where he meets harris county sheriff mike jolly, who finds out this isn't coulson's first run-in with the law. >> there are no get out of jail free ca

chris coons, you know these matters all too well. senator, welcome back to "america's newsroom". >> thanks, bill. bill: harry reid said this yesterday, i'm not going to waste the senate's time day after day on this piece of legislation. do you agree with him that it's a waste of time? >> well,ty think it's important for us to show where the senate is, and i was excited when the gang of six finally came out publicly with a bipartisan, big, tough plan, a framework for how to deal with our very real challenge with our record deficits and debt. it's my hope that the senate will consider cut, cap and be balance, defeat it and then put a responsible plan on the floor, one that shares the sacrifice across all the areas of our budget and that puts forward the kind of framework that everyone can support. bill: okay. on the cut, cap and balance, so you agree with harry reid that this is a waste of time on a balanced budget. why would a balanced budget amendment when polls show 72% of those surveyed favor it, why would you be opposed to that, senator? >> i don't speak for leader reid, obviously, but what i think the le

chris. seems to me he really is boehner's back. not just having boehner's back today or boehner's back tomorrow, but he's going to have boehner's back. the question is, can harry reid pry away seven or eight republicans to work with him? where does that happen? at this point i don't think you'll see any movement on a deal publicly, at the earliest, not until sunday. >> is the real fear not that there's a second effort to cut spending a bit more, but the second part of this spending cuts which would come at the end of this year, the vote on that, would actually cut to the bone. go after entitlements, medicare, after things the democrats treasurer jer is that the big fear? i think pelosi, former speaker, now democratic leader, was alluding to that in her very strong statement against the boehner plan tonight? >> reporter: that is one fear. you talk to democrats familiar with the way these negotiations have gone, and they'll say, look, this first $1.2 2r8 trillion, the first round ever cuts they have in their plans are almost identical. off a little on the pentagon but mostly dent t lly i identical. that's agreed to. whether in the -- whatever version you kim com

harry reid's plan came out too. it is short as well. half of the cuts assume the drawdown of the wars. all of this happening six days before the country defaults. we have chris van hollen with us. >> good morning, chris. >> let's start with john boehner. if he brings the cuts to $1.2 trillion, can it pass? >> i'm not sure it can pass then. before you have the error that they caught. before that, he was having trouble getting the votes. i don't know what the situation is right now. the problem with the boehner proposal is it puts the country in the same fix now, just six months down the road. why do we choose the road? >> it cannot be the short-term plan? >> because the economy is in a fragile state. it makes no sense at all for anybody to do anything that makes it more fragile that risks the credit worthiness of the united states and risks putting more people out of work. those are risks we should not be taking right now. this is a choice. there is no reason we have to do that. why in the world do we adopt a plan that creates continued uncertainty and instability in the economy. that is beyond me. as you heard in the clips, what you have now is a situation w

chris, the constitution. this is a constitutional process. i have read the words. >> mr. sessions, would you like for me to tell you where they are? section two. my colleague reference people like harry reid and steny hoyer supporting a balanced budget amendment. this is not in the traditional balanced budget amendments that we have seen and debated in the past. what you have here is in section 2, page 5 and my copy, it says, outlays for any fiscal year shall not exceed 18% of economic output of the united states. when you write that cap into the constitution of the united states, you will require deep cuts to those programs. as i indicated earlier -- the last time the united states government hit that target was in approximately 1966. we now have the retirement of the baby boomers. the other provision that jerry rigs the process is section 5. it says a bill to increase revenues shall not become law unless two-thirds of the whole number of each house shall provide by roll call vote. you cannot eliminate a tax subsidy to the oil and gas industry for the purpose of reducing that deficit under that provision of the constitution. you can call that what you want, but you are writing into

harry reid has no trouble passing this time. >> it should be fairly easy to get the votes now, because they have given away more than they had before. >> and democratic senator chrisoins us for the first time on our show. good afternoon, sir. >> thank you, martin, for the chance to be on. >> can you explain to me why the newly constituted boehner bill has the balanced budget amendment which is more likely to crash and burn when and if it lands in the senate? >> i can only hazard a guess. >> please hazard one. >> well, after the several hour-long wait over here last night as speaker boehner struggled to get the votes he needed solely from his own caucus, he concluded that he had to go back to the drawing board and make a simple choice, and either make the bill more conservative to shore up his own position, and secure the speakership and play more to his tea party caucus thus dooming the bill from having serious hope of passage here in the senate or begin to work more closely with democrats on a balanced bipartisan proposal to contribute to solving america's impending default crisis, and clearly leader reid chose the former. >> indeed. the president said today that

burden falls on harry reid to deliver and prevent default, so we will see a shift in power here on capitol hill, and back to the senate. >> thank you, kelly o'donnell. joining me now is chris matthews host of msnbc's "hardball." and as this is unfolding are we seeing another red herring play out and ultimately distracting us from the deal to be done? >> no, we are seeing the beginning to the end, because the festivities are over. and this afternoon 5:00 to 6:00, the beginning of the end. a house bill formally reject and bipartisan compromise back to the senate with 60 votes, and that goes to conference in the house, and no taxes in it, because the republicans won't allow it, and no balanced budget amendment procedure and the democrats won't allow it, and the only level of spending cuts are what has to be raised to get it down to one vote, and the question is how many votes there will be and whether this is the end of it. and something that was written this afternoon by james garrett, but it looks like the democrats may have to have larger spending cuts to pay off the republicans for not having another vote on this for the end of the year, and if the democrats want to have

chris van holland, democrat from maryland. congressman, good to have you on. >> good to be with you. >> let's talk about your side. harryeed planned a weekend session to work on the issues so they don't have to go to work. we also got word that your house democrats cancelled a news conference. has your side been told hey, turn the volume down. let the president and speaker boehner continue to talk in private. and would you expect them to reach an agreement possibly as early as this weekend? >> brooke, i don't think anyone has been told to turn the volume down, but it makes sense to spend this weekend allowing those conversations to continue. as you know, the president has had different groups of congressional leaders down in the white house. everyone is working overtime to try to put cork a deal. but it's not a deal yet. not by a long shot. everyone will be working overtime this weekend to try and wrap it up. >> so working overtime this weekend, but we might have a deal by the end of the weekend, sir? >> well, that would be the hope. but again, there's still a whole lot of woos hands. these aren't necessarily small high

chris brown, who takes our concert stage. that's something we're all very excited about. this morning it's all about this man, that's right, harryter himself, daniel radcliffe is on our plaza. a lot of potter heads on the plaza who are excited to see him. meantime, i'm ann curry along with matt lauer. >> daniel is a very busy man, promoting the last harry potter movie. he has a show on broadway, bouncing back and forth. i mean, he has really done so well for himself. >> that's right. the last movie of the harry potter series, it's been ten years since we started watching those movies, is coming out. here to talk about that and also his feelings about that, and also some of the difficulties he's had to face. >> also ahead, we're going to continue our series where we're counting down -- counting down to the 60th anniversary of the "today" show. this morning we'll take a look back at some of the history we have covered during those six decades. it is an interesting, fascinating look back. >> a lot of serious topics, as we're seeing on the screen, a lot of fun as well. we'll take a look at that. also, you know, when you go on vacati

chris witnessed eric cantor walk away from the discussions with the vice president has and is in the balance was brought into the discussion. we witnessed mitch mcconnell coming up with this proposal along with harrylk away from that proposal. we witnessed the present and continuing to reach out and then witnessed a bipartisan group of six, as they like to be called, three republicans and three democrats, if come up with a proposal. they walked away from that. they walked away from their own speaker's proposal and from the president's proposal. carolyn maloney said that if obama came up with a cure for cancer, that would walk away from that as well. i think the time for politics and whether it is extending about six months so that they can continue this ideological manufactured crisis, i think that that is wrongheaded. clearly it they all came together and said that we have a bill that we're going to put on the floor tomorrow and vote on and it was laid out in detail, i think the president said, he would knowledge that, but we have not seen anything close to that. >> this is clearly a dollar and cents issue. these are facts on the ground, decisions have to be made, because money has to be paid. bu
