. >>> finally tonight, back on january 8th we arrived in tucson, arizona, to find a community in shock after a shooting, mourning the dead caring for the wounded and many didn't think their congresswoman was going to make it. boy, did she ever make it. gabby giffords has fought to come back and that fight brought her to the house floor last night to thunderous applause and all we could think of is the resilient community of tucson, arizona, where as lee cowan reports, they were cheering her on every step of the way. >> reporter: it was once considered wishful thinking, that the day would come but that it came so early was miraculous. that's a word that's become synonymous with gabby giffords. >> thank you, gabby. >> reporter: it's been seven short months since an assassin's bullet tore through her head and her district hadn't had a voice since. and for her staff, like ron barber, who was shot twice that day, last night was astounding for a whole other reason. >> she's inspiration to the country and at at least for a second we can come together as a country. >> at the scene of the shoot

back in january, she was shot at point blank range in tucson, arizona, back on the floor of the house of representatives today as this traumatic vote unfolds. the former speaker, nancy pelosi paying tribute as we've heard. a key member of the negotiating team for the white house. and rallying, trying to get some votes for this plan. the question is, as we watch this emotional personal drama play out. we also have a very important and consequential policy debate that continues here in washington. this legislation will go over to the senate, i want to bring our conservative contributor into the conversation. the speaker just passed this, it was an important moment for him. you saw the number of republican defections in the house in the 0s there, you think this is a bad deal, why? >> i do think it's a bad deal. first of all, john. as aaron said earlier, if we go through with this deal, we're still going to raise the national debt $12 trillion. this is going to be the first of what are going to become increasingly tense battles over the national debt. i can't see this as a serious plan, c

during the vote, gabrielle giffords returned months after being injured in a shooting in tucson, arizona. here is that reaction. [cheers and applause] cape st. clai -- [cheers and applause] the speaker pro tempore: on this vote the yeas are 2 -- the speaker: on this vote the yeas are 269, the nays are 161. the bill is passed and without objection a motion to reconsider is laid on the table. for what purpose does the gentleman from utah rise? >> permission to speak out of order. the speaker: without objection, so ordered. mr. bishop: kids who are at the back that you can't see because you're standing in front of them, this is the first time we've ever had pages here had not in two small groups but in one summer group. these pages are going home this week and they have had a chance of being here to see history in the making on several different fronts. i wish you'd give them -- before you do that, page board consists of representative foxx from new york, myself, representative kildee, i yield to the gentlelady from colorado. >> i thank the gentlelady for yielding and i want to thank all of

as i mentioned, a few storms are possible in tucson, arizona, but that will be the exception. much of the country including the west will be dry today. i think friday will be one of the warmest days in some of the areas, so we'll talk about that. >> thank you so much. >>> well, tech stumbles, and what's the stitch with ambercrombie & fitch. >>> plus, he could earn an award for grossest performance. >>> coming up, ponzi schemes, nightclubs, and prostitutes. that's college football for you. you're watching "early today." >>> good morning. welcome back to "early today." i'm lynn berry, and here are your top headlines this morning. despite syrian president bashar al-assad claiming that military and police operations against protestors have ended, activists report more bloodshed overnight. since march over 1,800 civilians have been killed in syria's uprising according to witnesses. >>> in libya rebels are closing in on tripoli from the west and south. they have also assaulted a coastal oil refinery in an effort to drive out muammar qadhafi's forces. he is now nearly cornered in his

and liberals an conservatives were thrilled to see her and i know that the constituents back in tucson, arizona, were thrilled she is back in action and she actually cast a vote today. >> and she voted yes obviously for the deal. we are in a situation now where everyone expects the senate to rubber stamp this tomorrow, wolf. where are we in terms of the winners and losers here? who has come out of this well? who has come out of this badly? >> probably the tea party supporters have come out of it pretty well, because they did manage successfully to get this entire issue link reducing the national debt and raising the debt ceiling. that has never been done before. they managed to get it on the agenda, and at the same time they managed to achieve at least in the short term what they wanted to do it without any tax increases. no enhanced revenue from any tax reform or anything along those lines, so i would say that the tea party movement, they come out of this as winners. the president, the republican leadership, and the democratic leadership, they don't necessarily come out successful, big winners

debt drama congresswoman gabrielle giffords the victim of the shooting from earlier this year in tucson arizona that killed six and wounded thirteen including a gunshot wound to the head the congresswoman was back in congress last night to vote for the deal now i totally disagree with the vote here but i'm not afraid to say that this incredible comeback represents a display of some powerful will and determination now apparently she's already come back full time but she seemed like she knew what she was doing and she said i strongly believe that crossing the aisle for the good of the american people is more important than party politics i had to be here for this vote i could not take the chance that my absence could crash our economy ok so in there but the arrogance of one person thinking they are so important that without them congressman sweeney the rest of us peons would collapse is typical of members of congress ok cheap shot maybe and sure we can use this as an opportunity to take lots of cheap shots at other members of congress who voted for the debt deal and say things like only someone w

well, it turns out congresswoman gabrielle giffords who was shot in the head in tucson, arizona six months ago had made a surprise return to washington for the first time to cast her ballot in favor of this deal. what an amazing sight, she was embraced by members from the right and the left, such a change of events from the rancor that we've seen here in washington the past few weeks. vice president biden came to capitol hill today to tamp down a democratic revolt in the house. >> i understand that this train is leaving the station. but it's going in the wrong direction. >> reporter: liberals are angry that the deal worked out by republicans and the white house cuts the deficit by about $2.3 trillion with no guarantee that any of it will come from new tax revenue. >> it's all about cutting, cutting, cutting. tax cuts and reductions in spending are not going create jobs it in this country. we need some investment. >> reporter: the deal calls for a trillion in cuts now and the rest to be identified by a powerful new committee of 12 lawmakers, six democrats, six republicans. if congress doesn

look at how a tucson, arizona, crowd turned on john mccain when he started talking about corporate rates corporate rates are 35% -- >> fed up is the term the president used. mccain and other republicans don't care what their constituents are screaming about. they only answer to the people who line their pockets. that's why he is spending his time out on the links. on tuesday, boehner shot an 81. at a fund-raiser at the infamous golf club in toledo, ohio. boehner took a break from happy hour to go over to the clubhouse to take a cheap shot at the president today. american families and small businesses are hurting in this economy. and they are still asking, where are the jobs? president obama likes to talk about being the adult in the room. but there's nothing adult about political grandstanding. so, now, get ahold of this. it's political political grandstanding if the president comes out and asks congress to work in their home districts. it's political grandstanding if the president asks the congress to do something on jobs and he says there are things they can do right now. boehner and t

she of course was shot in the head in tucson, arizona, and has rehabilitated herself.ors and nurses, she is voting tonight. this vote, on extending the debt ceiling limit. that is powerful. >> i agree with you. goosebumps. democracy in action. and, you know, i think evidence of how deeply felt she, i think many people feel, we got to prevent the idea of economic catastrophe, but god bless america. we have to make sure our economic future is secure. her presence is a great demonstration of her commitment to american politics at this moment. tremendous story. >> bret: steve? >> yeah. i agree. pleasant surprise. caps off what has been a messy process. i think what we saw in "washington post" pew poll gets it right. people have been disgusted by the process. the tea party clearly won, you know, in this whole debate, by actually getting members of congress to focus on decreasing spending, the other part of their message i thought was so powerful -- >> bret: live shot, congress woman michele bachmann. obviously, she is running for president. she is a lot of focus outside the
