Are we close to a deal? >> i think we probably are. im not in the room, so i cant say with specificity, but i do believe theyre edging closer from what ive heard, and hopefully they can announce something next week. >> senator, how can a deal be possible if the republicans are so bent on protecting the wealthiest americans? it doesnt seem like any of them in full force want to move in that direction, or are you hearing differently? >> well, first of all, theyre in a very bad negotiating position...

Up houses in miami -- megyn: and it weakens our negotiating position with china. >> absolutely. but its also part of a flee trade -- free trade future that weve been told will come to pass for 20 years now, but it has not. and point of fact, china still maintains rigorous, strong, difficult hurdles to free trade, tariffs at their shores and is taking advantage of our rather welcoming, some say naive attitude toward foreign investment. megyn: quick question. where are they getting all their money...

Strengthened in this election. we have more progressives in office than we did -- there will be more of them in congress in january than there are in congress now. and progressives already think that president obama is too willing to sell them out in these negotiations, so while i think the president is very dedicated to this idea of grand bargain two, you know, yes, if i can get increased revenues, higher taxes on the wealthy, i will certainly agree to some serious entitlement cuts. whether he ...

Boehner which is why i think theyre in such a difficult position right now. the reason its tougher is game theory or negotiation theory. if we dive off the fiscal cliff or maybe a more appropriate metaphor is we walk gently off of the fiscal beach, that puts the republicans in a much more difficult negotiating position. all of a sudden the president can go out on january 1 and say, look, i am in favor of tax cuts for the middle class. your taxes have gone up because of the republicans. what kind...

Or maybe a more appropriate metaphor is we walk gently off of the fiscal beach, that puts the republicans in a much more difficult negotiating position. all of a sudden the president can go out on january 1 and say, look, i am in favor of tax cuts for the middle class. your taxes have gone up because of the republicans. what kind of a crazy party is this which is standing in the way of tax cuts, right? we thought that was what the republican -- their job is to cut taxes. so i think the president...

>> and that was as far as the defense secretary would go, just reuh officialing that the intelligence that they say they have raises serious concern, shep. >> feels like a coordinated international response here. >> it is interesting that these words and these warnings are coming from around the globe from president obama obviously, from secretary of state hillary clinton and from the british foreign secretary and indeed from the russians. so that tends to say that this conspiracy theory, that t...

The additional powers that he took on a few weeks ago. right now the deadlock continues, the position from the opponents of morsi, one of their leaders says as far as they are concerned morsi is essentially the new hosni mubarak. martha: doesnt sound like much of a negotiating position on either side. david lee miller, thank you very much. bill: fox news alert now on a live look on dublin, ire rand. hillary clinton speaking on humanitarian issues there as she just called an emergency meeting wit...

Republicans now think that deal, the one they walked away from, sounds pretty good. theyre using it as a basis for their current proposal. only problem. boehner had his chance. president obama now thinks he has the upper hand. according to the "washington posts" ezra klein, quote -- >> joining us now representative chris van hollen of maryland, ranking member of the house budget committee. great to have you on the program. >> great to be with you, alex. >> lets talk a little bit about 2011 versu...

Rates. theres other ways to get revenue that honestly are more economically productive in the long term. having said that, again, i think you might be better served to do this in pieces. first, we disagree with the democrats on a lot of things but we dont disagree about the 98% of the american people. we dont think their taxes should go up. to me since thats a point of agreement and doesnt affect either sides negotiating position on the other issues we ought to remove it from the table. make sur...

Negotiating -- feeling like he is in a stronger negotiating position. i dont think its leakily but possible -- likely but its possible. >> bret: knowing what you know what is capable for the federal government to do, to withhold some of the bad things that could happen, what is the market do, what does the world economy do if that happens? >> the market, it tanks for a while. but to go in to a recession, this is a lengthy process. its not going to suddenly go in to a recession. i think you will ...
