joe? >> so dan, just to be here. has the administration sent any signals at all it might tangibly use this weapon? or is it just a trial balloon in your view? >> this has been floated about by democrats. they really hope that republicans and democrats can hammer this out by that august 2 deadline. that's what they're pushing for right now, joe. >> thanks so much for that, dan. >> now the soaring national debt and a look at what could happen a month from now. >> if the debt ceiling isn't raised by august 2, the u.s. treasury won't be able to pay all its bills. we've been here before, but never quite so close to default. since we've been accumulating a big national debt, congress has raised the debt ceiling just 78 times. since 1960 alone. since the nation's debt reached the $1 trillion mark in the early 1980s, look at how government borrowing has skyrocketed. climbing really at an ex exponential rate. how is $14 trillion in relation to how big the economy is. it's about 95% of the size of t

>> nothing. >> joe, you said the whole tax thing is just a war. it is really not except to people like you who don't pay any. >> i absolutely pay my taxes, andy. and i would appreciate if you stopped trying to take the heat off your own federal charges and off yourself by bringing up fake ones with me. >> i live my life clean as a whistle, sir. >> i know. i am not the one that gets paid cash under the table for his little shows. >> you don't get paid that way at fox, but we all know you get paid that way for other things i possibly hired you for on the side. >> i 1099 that stuff. >> are you going to go with this? >> no, i think we played it out. we are getting a little too close to the truth. >> brooke you said the tax break was part of the obama stimulus. actually, i don't think that's true. the tax break is from the tax code and lets the jets be depreciated. >> do you know how many interns are getting fired because of you today? do you know? >> i could be wrong. >> i think you are. >> i am not. i just don't want you to fire interns. >> we don't

she's in northeast with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, joe. you can take a look behind me here. this is very different from how things looked just a couple of minutes ago. police have reopened this area. it was a section including new york avenue, bw parkway, 295, and kenilworth avenue completely shut down for a couple of hours as police investigated that carjacking and in search of two suspects. they were searching both on the ground and also up on the air with a chopper. a canine unit out here as well. sources on the scene telling us the suspects took off into the woods after crashing a vehicle. one of them was arrested. at this point, we understand, one person is still at large. as soon as we get any additional information, we'll pass it along. back to you. >> melissa, thanks very much. >>> beware of bears. black bears have been seen in two neighborhoods in our area. news 4's darcy spencer talked with one man who saw the bear outside his home window. >> reporter: this cell phone video shows a young black bear devouring the seeds in a bird f

there's never been any proof that joe doria took any of that money can give some of it is missing, joe doria is not in charge charged and defensive the case continues. but the elements of joe doria being brought in, that has to democrats pro-corzine spend that this is all done to damage corzine because they didn't -- >> the media was very present at joe doria some at at the department of community when they're being searched? >> right. the corzine people say it must be that the feds and the christie people tipped off the reporters because they were all there. that is a fallacy. let me tell you this. every newsroom worth its salt anywhere in the country has either scanners or pager services to find what's going on with the police. joe doria's house was a circus that morning. they owned cops are taking the scenes as teams of fbi agents swarmed the house, even if the reporters have not been tipped, i know i personally wasn't but even if they hadn't been tipped -- >> if you want maybe nobody was. >> it would've taken five minutes for the jersey journal and the hudson reporter and the newar
