>> well, that's the worst outcome, because youknow, a trillion here, a trillion there, number one. but number two, "we are the world's" greatest can kicrs in the history of the planet and we're going to kick the can down the road and that's actually, you know, politically, the most workable and the dysfunction, you know, is there a question about dysfunction in washington? i thk that's already priced into the market. what's not pricednto the mart is the stupidity that they're going to bring when, you know, this down payment then turns into the whole deal and then it's going to be held up and we know, as i said before, this is loosesy and charlie brown, the football is going to be pulled out and land on their tuckus, and then hey're going to pass a little thing, you know, to move it down six months. >> and using those technical terms. and jonas, pushing back the deadlines, what does it mean to the economy? especially if we don't know in it will be a deal in a month or a deal to do deal in another year? >> there's absolutely no good at this point in pushing along the current system a

because you never start a rescue, you never start a lifting exercise, never start anything, unless youknow you are going to be able to finish it, have enough of the resources to do it. and do you have the right equipment? you need specialized equipment? do you have access to that? maybe, maybe not. so size up, you want to establish your priorities, make your decisions. you want to come up with a plan and after you have a plan, you want to take action. remember, it's continuous fact gathering process. you want to evaluate your progress. there are 50 percent of the people can be rescued by who? this is where you come in for the next 30 percent to make it 80 percent of the people. the next 30 percent of the people can be rescued by you people. then there's another 15 percent, that's where the fire department comes in, or the sheriff's department, people who are trained to do those type of rescue. the other 5 percent is by specialized teams, the usar teams. if you are to get to somebody within the first 30 minutes, they have a 99 percent chance -- a greater than 99 percent chance of surviving.

youknow, the country needs a leader. no matter what party you are from, that is what we need. that's what we need in the president of the united states, and we we have a president that gets a bunch of people together and says let's talk about the problem. instead, he just shovels the problem over to harry reid and said, figure this out with the republican we are going to find harry reid and mitch mcconnell are really going to be able to come up with legislation that either can really pass. and then we go over the fiscal cliff and i agree that it just kicks the can a little bit further. part of the problem is we have no leadership here. gerri: let's get rich edson back into this. my next question is, what happens next? do we just wait for harry reid and mitch mcconnell to come up with something? when might we have more of these meetings? reporter: enate leaders will meet tonight. carrie reeder says he is suspenng regular business on the senate floor tomorrow so leadership can work on us. they are worng on issues and have been for the last couple of days. at that point, sometime

. >> as far as youknow, do you know what is your fiancÉ do?and she involved in the technology industry? >> she was an arrest restaurant business in shanghai. she has a couple of statehouses. neil: does she have anything to do with technology? >> i don't of the extent of that. neil: there are rumors that she was going this technology for a high price to chinese officials to look at. is that totally untrue? >> that sounds like a smokescreen to me. i think the reason they aren't commenting, they know they did something wrong and it's blowing up their base. these ridiculous charges, they should be dropped before she even goes and she should be issued an apology. neil: parties doing? >> no, we are worried about the criminal case. she has a green card and we worry about her status. neil: her green card or be revoked. okay. >> she is a very successful woman. you know, she's from another country. she was buying christmas presents and she's a very generous person. she was shopping at a mall. she is a christian and she won to buy presents for everybody.

now is the time, youknow, that was what they were saying. it was quite a few years ago. i cannot believe that they pulled out the same playbook. it's not about the climate change or any any of that, it's about helping people right now. i got the chills listening to scott mcgrath story. it is essentially t same kind of crisis. you know, this is why the texas law. the federal government is a total failure at almost everything. i don't know if they are too big. maybe you want to give them the benefit of the doubt. they just don't know when and solve problem we shouldn't send hem more tax revenue. this is exactly why. they may try tohelp people, but they are terrible about it. they never actually succeed. when you look at what is going on. neil: when they are out there to see what's going o, i have a couple of friends of the show that residents that were out there instead. >> right. neil: i think that is what is concerning me. getting it backwards think new jersey, something like $10,000 up to $40,000 -- we have to vent for the money back and we ave to wait for someone in a

why are we creating, youknow desensitized individuals who see nothing, or is it just, ou know, crazy'sppen? i don't know. i'm not capable of answering that question that high up. neil: the gun control debate, brought up in these situations, people are going to ask where does it happen and where it happens, particularly in schools, the mall shooting a couple days back, we need armed guards in malls. >> right. neil: do we need armed guards in schools? do we need armed guards in every public center? >> all i know is i feel that in -- if you have the trained responsible personnel equipped to deal with situations like this on site, you're going to, i believe, this is my opinion, i believe you're going to reduce the potential for mass casualties because you'll have a response available on site. neil: because the presence is known to be there? >> right. again, you're right. usually one of the first thing that happens after a tragedy like this is it revisits the question of gun control, and one part about it i'm a proud gun owner. i think it's an important aspect, and i would challenge anybody
