and he'll join us this morning along with a top democratic leader, senator chuck schumer. it's all ahead on "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs "face the nation" with cbs news chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. and now from cbs news in washington, bob schieffer. >> schieffer: and good morning again and welcome to "face the nation." well, here's what it looks like is taking shape, a deal that would extend the debt limit through 2012 and would cut up to $3 trillion in spending over the next ten years. first wave of cuts would total $1 trillion and a bipartisan, super congressional committee would have to determine the additional cuts by thanksgiving of this year, or if they could not agree, congress... and congress does not act, there would be automatic cuts to defense spending and entitlements. senator mitch mcconnell who has emerged as the key player in this deal is here with us in the studio this morning. senator, thank you so much for joining us. so how close are you? >> well, i think we're very close, bob, to being in a position where i can recomme

and they've got to get with it. >> senator chuck schumer. thank you very much.at to see you. >> my pleasure. >>> for more on the competing plans to weal the the debt, let's bring in david walker former u.s. controller general and founder of the come back america initiative. good to see you. first of all, you have a tougher preeventive strike that -- preemptive strike than what has been proposed. would mcconnell-reid be at least a short-term solution to get things going past august 2nd? is that a logical solution right now is this. >> i really don't believe mcconnell-reid would be viewed as credible by the credit rating sagtsys, our lenders or the american people. it could be if it was coupled with specific targets, triggers and automatic enforcement mechanisms that calls for a certain amount of reduction in the deficit by the end of 2013. or certain amounts of -- with automatic enforcement mechanisms, three part spending cuts, one part temporary revenue increases in those targets and triggers happen. i think we need to do something like that in order to add cred

chuck schumer may be the number two guy in the senate. eric cantor is the number two guy in the republican leadership many the senate. he quit on the economy. that tells me everything i need to know about how the republicans negotiate. >> it doesn't sound like you're ready to sign on with senator schumer's theory that the republicans are trying to sab tang the economy. >> i am more interested in outcome than input. we need to reduce debt and the way to do that is to decrease spending, democrats are willing to tighten our belts. we understand we need to do that. we've come up with trillion dollars in cuts. we need to ask big oil companies and people making over million dollar to do their fair share by increasing revenues. >> have a good fourth of july weekend and we'll see you -- >> big mets and yankees series in new york tonight. i'll be watching. >> i'm always rooting for the national league. always got to stick to it the big guys. thanks. >> thank you. >>> all right. joining me now major garrett chief congressional correspondent for the

chuck schumer serves on both the banking committee, the committee on finance and is one of the top menership, senator schumer, nice to have you. >> good morning, chuck. >> let me start with what appears to be that we learned from congresswoman emerson that what boehner is going to do to change his plan a little bit is he's going to keep the cuts the same because they're so similar to what you guys are offering in the senate and just lower the first round of asks for the debt ceiling request. >> it's less acceptable, i think most people including the markets because the biggest problem with the boehner plan, there are several that it's so short-term, that as soon as we raise the debt ceiling we'll be back at it fighting again, royaling the markets, risking downgrade. standard and poors has said with the small amount of rise in the debt ceiling that boehner propo proposes, we risk -- we ought to just scrap the boehner plan, it's not getting any democratic votes in the house. they're having trouble getting republicans votes in the house. it's dead on arrival in the senate. i don't know if

. >> chuck schumer is coming up. we will be talking to chuck schumer. also, we will bring in congressman jim clyburn. >> and we will be talking about the norway tragedy. first, here is bill karins with a check on the forecast. >> good morning, everybody. for the first time in a while it will feel like you are not walking on the sun. a little break in the atlantic from the heat today, but it will return by the end of the week. the heat wave has shrunk and returned to the middle of the country. the temperatures are warm at all locations. and then today we're going up to 105 in dallas. and 103 in oklahoma city. and d.c. at 92. bring the umbrella if you are on the east coast because showers and thunderstorms are a possibility late today. you are watching "morning joe" sunshine, brewed by starbucks.

i'm joined now by democratic senator chuck schumer of new york.ank you very much for joining me tonight, senator. >> good morning, lawrence. good evening. feels like morning. >> i know what those hours are like down there. earlier today you said publicly you had the feeling that john boehner had the votes. you worked in the house of representatives, you're experienced about how the votes get put together. this is extraordinary having to delay a vote. usually as you know, speaker has it lined up well in advance. what do you think is going on over there? >> well, obviously the hard right people in his caucus are resisting. i hear amazingly enough one of the things they don't like is the boehner bill allows pell grants to go forward, helping kids go to college. if most americans knew exactly what was going on in that republican caucus, they'd be amazed, they'd say they don't represent me. >> senator, at the same time you democrats are contemplating the single biggest deficit reduction package ever passed by congress, even in harry reid's version of i

we will talk to new york senator, chuck schumer, up next. . in here, inventory can be taught to learn. ♪ machines have a voice. ♪ medical history follows you. it's the at&t network -- a network of possibilities... committed to delivering the most advanced mobile broadband experience to help move business... forward. ♪ no, it's just for new people. hey ! chocolate, vanilla or strawberry ? chocolate ! chocolate it is ! yeah, but i'm new, too. umm... he's new... er... than you. even kids know it's wrong to treat new friends better than old friends. at ally bank, we treat all our customers fairly, with no teaser rates and no minimum deposit to open. it's just the right thing to do. agents, these crustaceans are like gold to a restaurant owner. so? water damage can spell disaster for a small business. and restaurants have over 4 million slip and falls every year. that's why we work with our clients and help them find coverage for stuff like this. oh! hey, what are you going to do with these guys? we'll release them into the wild so they can live lo

how does chuck schumer know that would happen. >> he knows it won't happen.s boi knows that barack s taken student loans off the table. he knows unspent some time plus funds cannot be parts of this. high speed rail cannot be parts of this. my green jobs program cannot be a part of it. all these things barack obama set aside, then chuck schumer does this armageddon speech. look, we have the money to pay social security, we have the money to put border patrol agents. we have it all. we have $172 billion of income coming into the treasury in august. and they owe $29 billion in interest on the debt. where is the big scare? alisyn:ies moody's considering downgrading the trim a rating if that's the case? >> maybe they are considering downgrading it because our our politicians cannot get serious about reducing the copps of government. barack obama has doubled our debt since he's been in office an can't come up -- it's gone up by 25% in the first four years. spending up by 25%. he can't find 5% in real cuts? this is all about demagoguery. and these polls -- i heard m

this is visibly smart. >>> even if the boehner bill passes the house, senator chuck schumer says the it down. why? >> because the short term bill that has us going back at this three months from now when you see how much trouble it's causing now will risk our credit agency and tie up the congress from doing other things like focusing on jobs and the economy. it makes no sense to do this for three months. our republican colleagues in the house are playing a game here. speaker boehner has to keep throwing piece after piece after piece of red meat to the hard right lion that seems to be dominating the caucus. it's time to tame the lion, not throw red meat to him. it's not going to accomplish anything. there's talk they have to change the bill. one of the rumors is they are changing it because some of the conservatives want to cut back on pell grants, money that helps kids go to college. it's got overwhelming support of help to the american people. it shouldn't be 100 or 80 hard right people who don't represent america or the republican party, determining what is done here. thus far, spe

chuck schumer as recently as this afternoon, i believe, said that a default would be catastrophic.trophic, by the way. but here's what they don't tell you. there is zero chance. and i mean zero chance that we have a default. no chance at all. a default is when you don't pay your lenders, the bond holders. there is more than enough money coming in each month in taxes to pay off the bond holders. so there will be no default. i understand why the president and the secretary of the treasury and chuck schumer all liberal democrats, i understand why they do this. to scare people and try to get a better deal out of republicans. i get it. it's called politics. but when journalists, especially anchors. this is really disturbing. on broadcast networks on cable go auto long with it. plenty of people in particular. i will tell you this over the last 24 hours. i must have heard the term looming default possibility 10,000 times. some of these anchors, some of them are merely stenographers for president obama. i understand that they are on his side. he says something that he surely knows isn't tr

grover, when chuck schumer is endorsing with what you were allegedly saying, were you worrying? you want to clarify, what? >> no, no, no, mr. schumer has been looking for ways to raise taxes all of his adult life. the tax, the bush tax cuts. the alternative minimum tax patch. r and d tax credit have all been passed by republican congresses, republican presidents and democratic presidents. these are established policy. changing that policy to raise more revenue next year than you'd ear wise raise is clearly a tax increase, which clearly violates. >> neil: what did you mean by not continuing the tax cut, a tax rate. did you say that? >> in that case we're talking about specific targeted tax cuts ie, the obama refundable tax credit per child for a two year period for the purpose of stimulating the economy. >> neil: so you weren't talking about the bush tax rate issues, were you? >> no, and make it quick. the rates need to continue or a tax rate. i think i said it clearly, many times that established incorrectly. once, but that the phrase i used most often it does not pass the last

new sound from john boehner and senator chuck schumer, straight ahead. ...was it something big?l? ...something old? ...or something new? ...or maybe, just maybe... it's something you haven't seen yet. the 2nd generation of intel core processors. stunning visuals, intelligent performance. this is visibly smart. plus the choice of every etf, 5-star research, and unmatched trading tools. there's price. there's value. don't confuse the two. e-trade. investing unleashed. a network of possibilities. in here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites... for greater access to all the things you want, whenever you want them. it's the at&t network... and what's possible in here is almost impossible to say. it's the at&t network... every day you live with the pain of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis could be another day you're living with joint damage. help st

that's what senator chuck schumer is charges right now. republicans know president obama's chances of re-election get better as economic conditions improve and that may explain they're eagerness to play chicken with the debt ceiling and the economy. about those republicans. will they go for true believe fler 2012 or big bucks? they're facing with twice michele bachmann and mitt romney. he's got the bank roll but she's the true believer. who wins? and a fight over abortion ritsz. kansas approved new regulations for abortion clinics regulating everything from the drugs they stock to the size and temperature of procedures in recovery rooms. supporters say the new rules will protect patients but critic sas they're a thinly veiled attempt to shut down abortion clinics. and actor gary sennese, known for lieutenant dan in "forrest gump" he's made a movie. here tonight to talk about the film and a new way you could help wounded service people. finally, imagine -- john lennon, a reagan democrat? that's what his one-time personal assistant recalls.

chuck schumer may be number two in he is not rate. eric cantor is with the house of representatives. he not only quit on the talks, he quit on the economy. that tells me everything you need to know -- >> it doesn't sound like you are toward sign on with senator schumer's theory here that the republicans are deliberately trying to sabotage the economy. >> i am more interested in outcome than input. the outcome we need is what every small business and what every american who has to balance a budget goes through. we need to reduce debt. the way it do that is to decrease spending. democrats are willing to tighten our belts. we understand we need to do that. we have come up with a trillion in cuts. we need to ask big oil companies and people making over a million dollars to do their fair share by increasing revenues. >> let's talk about a short term deal. are you willing to vote for something that is iks to eight months, the trillion, trillion and a half cuts that have been agred to among the biden group to raise the debt ceiling temporari

it is a scum with senator chuck schumer. we have to have tax hikes as a trigger. why would we put a sacred cow on the table and not have the republicans do the same. we have debt-cutting deadlines to meet them every year. if we are not getting there, we want the option of being able to raise taxes to get us there. and republicans want the option of deeper cuts to get us there . there in lies the rub. >> why are we here on saturday. washington has trouble getting it done. they are saying we have to have reall triggers and enforcement mechanisms to say get back to the table and get it done and they don't want to raise the debt ceiling for the next two years and there is no real spending cuts. >> do you think that it will be all subteruge and drama ahead of a mitch mcconnell deal and he raises it and they balk about it . they can't raise it because the numbers are not there. >> my sense is, you need plenty of postering between now and tuesday . they realize let's not mess with the united states economy and raise interest rates on anybody. you know the economic better

senator reid and senator chuck schumer unveiled the president's plan first, and the democrats noted theyade a significant concession on tax revenues. >> it meets the requirements that they laid out, dollar-for-dollar savings in the debt ceiling, no revenues, and cuts that they have supported. so ask yourself, the american people will be asking themselves, if they oppose this, why? since it's everything they asked for. this is a very hard decision for many on our side. our side knows that any serious debt reduction plan must include revenues, but in the interest of preventing a default, we can have the fight on revenues later when we get to the grand bargain speaker boehnor couldn't bring himself to accept from barack obama, we offer this plan. it's a tough choice, but for democrats, we get an increase in the debt ceiling through 2012, and we succeed in extending benefit cuts in medicaid, medicare, or social security. so this proposal meets both side's bottom lines. it's a good deal. at this point, there is no alternative other than default. >> the white house quickly put out a statement

there is senate majority leader reid and looks like dick durbin behind him and there is chuck schumer. and we will go to that press conference. >> senator murray asked to be excused because of a family situation, oh, good, her husband is here. tonight a bipart son majority in the senate rejected boehner's short-term plan clearly. we are seeing something we have seen a lot here in the senate but this time the country's attention is focused on it, a filibuster. a filibuster to prevent us from moving forward on this legislation. the proposal that i put forward is a compromise. we changed it even more today. we would have changed it more but as i indicated on the floor we had no one to negotiate with. the republican leader said he wouldn't negotiate with me. [ringing] >> i wonder whose that is? not mine. [ laughter ] >> your pizza is ready. [ laughter ] >> it really is a worst possible time to be conducting a filibuster. they are forcing us to wait until tomorrow morning at -- let's see today is still friday until sunday morning at 1:00 a.m. to have this vote. they are kind -- our economy

of course, if you are chuck schumer and the goal is to massively expand government and redistribute healthyou want much higher taxes to lock in the hugely expanded government, but that is what is wrong. way too big of a government. that is what has changed. a huge increase in spending, and that is why we are insisting that that's what we have got to get under control. >> senator tumoomey, thank you r joining me. >> thank you for having me. >>> and now, here are the numbers off what is happening and the reaction there and as we see the dow jones down by 44 and the s&p down by almost 3.00 and the nasdaq composite almost down by 3.00, so modest losses as well on this monday, and we will continue to watch the indicator there of what may be to come. >>> today, police have significantly lowered the death toll from the shooting in norway. in oslo, there is a ceremony ofç solace, and the original death toll has been dropped from 93 to 76. this morning the man who confessed to the massacre said he wanted to save the nation from immigration. we want to get the latest from jay gray in oslo. >> yes, t

hillary clinton, chuck schumer all of them have cultivated the murdochs and i think that there's a taintw over the company and over murdoch himself that's going to be very hard to erase early on. >> you on the wonder if all of a sudden there's more of a willingness by politicians on both sides it have the pond to stand up to him. robert moore, martin besheer told me a story about how murdoch entertains on an annual business. anyone who is anyone in the parliament they're there and they were all scared to death to ever speak out in opposition of a perceived position of murdoch's, the tide has changed in the last three weeks. >> the political culture in britain has been turned on its head. there were politicians from the conservative party and labour party who were enthralled with rue merit murdoch. -- rupert murdoch. the political currents are opposite. everybody is attacking him. there's a major change there. the political culture has changed not just for the politicians, but for the police and journalists. >> thank you michael isikoff and robert moore. >>> up next no question it's hot o

>> i agree with chuck schumer. chuck schumer opposed trying k.s.m.new york in a regular civilian court. i'm sure he must surely oppose bringing this terrorist to new york. by the way, they are going the try a couple of foreign terrorists in kentucky, my state, whose fingerprints were found on i.e.d.s in iraq. these foreign terrorists are enemy combatants. they should be taken to guantanamo. they should be tried in military commissions. new legislation that we passed three years ago precisely with the purpose of dealing with foreign terrorists. these are not american citizens. we just found the casey anthony case, how difficult it is to get a conviction in a u.s. court. i don't think a foreigner is entitled to all the protections of the bill of rights, they should not be in u.s. courts, they should be at guantanamo and before military commissions. >> bret: senator mcconnell, thank you for your time. we'll be interested to hear what happens tonight. >> i will, too. >> bret: coming up next, we will talk to a key house democrat about the line in the sand

the democrats' chief message maker chuck schumer and the president's lead economic adviser, gene sperling. then moody's chief economist mark standi to tell us whether a deal would save the u.s. credit rating. i'm gloria borger in for candy crowley. and this is "state of the union." we're just an hour away from a vote in the senate on a democratic plan to raise the debt limit, but the real action is between the president and the republican senate leader mitch mcconnell. i spoke with him earlier, and he was optimistic about getting a deal. let me get right to it. can you announce this morning that a plan has been reached, there's a deal? >> we're very close. we had a very good day yesterday, both the president and the vice president called me, and the president talked to the speaker, as well. and they understand that with a republican majority in the house and a very row bous republican minority in the senate we have to come together. i think we've made dramatic progress in that direction since april, for example, when the administration, gloria, was asking us to raise the debt creeling wit

at a press conference today, senator chuck schumer endorsed the plan, saying it was the only viable option. >> at this point there is no alternative other than default and no basis for republicans rejecting this proposal other than that they want a default. >> susie: but house speaker john boehner says reid's plan is full of gimmicks. >> we're not making any real changes in the spending structure of our government, and it doesn't deal with the biggest drivers of our deficits and our debt, and that would be entitlement programs. >> susie: meanwhile, boehner's own short-term plan calls for raising the debt ceiling by $1 trillion while cutting spending by about the same amount. he also recommends a second round of spending cuts next year. joining us now, norman ornstein, resident scholar at the american enterprise institute. we're really getting down to the wire, aren't we. >> you know, with eight days to go, it normal me takes several days to get these kinds of plans into legislative language and have them scored by cdo and then get the votes. so we're all ready with two brand new plans, par

that movie choice did not sit well with chuck schumer. >> the republicans played a clip from a cops andobbers movie called "the town." in the scene, they chose to inspire their house freshmen, one of the crooks gives a pep talk to the other. right before they both put on hockey masks, bludgeon two men with sticks, and shoot a man in the leg. the protagonists say people are going to get hurt, but they have to go ahead and do it anyway. ladies and gentlemen, this is your house republican majority. >> there you go. okay. so now the white house did the republicans one better. jay carney ramping things up, said, i'll see you "the town" and raise you "sophie's choice." of course the 1982 film starring meryl streep where she made a horrible decision between two children during the holocaust. >> movie analogies are popular these days. you create a situation where you have real people who suffer and choices then have to be made and it's a "sophie's choice," right? who do you save? who do you pay? that's an impossible situation that this country has never faced and should never face if congress d

democrats, including chuck schumer, wasted little time pouncing on norquist's remarks. >> grover norquist, the hall monitor, when it comes to enforcing the republican party's anti-tax pledge, has given house republicans a hall pass. they should use it. this is a coded message from one of the truest believers in the republican party that it's time for conservatives to step back from the brink. >> apparently norquist is rescinding that hall pass. he quickly walked back his comments during an interview with msnbc. >> there's certain things you could do technically and not violate the pledge but that the general public would clearly understand it's a tax increase. so i can be clear, americans for tax reform would oppose any effort to weaken, reduce or not continue the 2001/2003 bush tax cuts. >> and by not extending the bush tax cuts lawmakers could potentially bring in as much as $4 trillion in new tax revenue. >>> european leaders have agreed to a bold plan to help greece get out of its debt, announcing a new bailout for the country worth an estimated, get this, $157 billion. the deal's imp
