That Speaker John Boehner met with the president to discuss the officials of the fiscal cliff. Were just days before the congress and the white house has to hammer out a deal or everyones going to suffer the consequences. Emily, what have you learned about todays meeting . Allison we know that todays meeting was not on the schedule today. So that means we have to rely on the word from the White House Deputy press secretary and a congressional staffer which happens to be the exact same words. They released two separate statements, both identical and this is the statement. It says this afternoon the president and Speaker Boehner met at the white house to discuss efforts to resolve the fiscal cliff. Were not reading out details of the constitution, but the lines of communication remain. On wednesday, youll remember a source familiar with the conversation said they did speak by phone, at that point it was the first time in a week they had done so. No reported breakthrough then. And then on
Police will be out in force for super bowl sunday, the mayor says he doesnt want any instant replays of the giants celebration. Fans were rowdy and pumped after the championship win on sunday and peaceful and nonviolent unlike the mayhem that marred the giants victory last fall when cars were overturned and bonfires lit and a muni bus smashed. The mayor will visit local sports bars suggesting they serve something beside hard liquor and asking them to sell cans and not bottles and working with muni but hopes of containing crowds at civic center have been nixed by the n because of copyright. That is a business decision. We will respect that. It would help center the celebrations but we will keep the city safe. To ensure we use the right type of buses we will not have electric buses but we will have diesel buses that are able to maneuver around the crowds and be redirected. And a victory parade . Last time they won it all in 1995 there was a blow out party but as far as the planning for t

The American People have worked too hard rebuilding to see their elected officials to cause yet another one. It seems like every three months around here some manufactured crisis. We have more work to do than to just try to dig ourselves out of these selfinflicted wounds. While a plan to reduce our deficit has to be part of our agenda, we also have to remember deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan. We learned in the 1990s whether bill clinton was president , nothing shrinks the deficit faster than a growing economy that creates good, middle class jobs. That should be our driving focus. Making american a magnet for good jobs. Equipping our people with the skills required to fill those jobs and making sure their hard work leads to a decent living. Those are the things we should be pushing ourselves to think about and work on every single day. That is what the American People expect. Thats what im going to work on every single day to help deliver. So i need everybody who is watc

This past week alone, amazon, the washington post, the new york times, cnn, all hit, all down, all vulnerable to something or someone that seems to have no trouble penetrating their security walls. The s. E. C. Says it is monitoring the situation and is in very close contact with the exchanges. The president of the United States just briefed on this during a bus tour in the midwest. Secretary jack lue is speaking in cal can this hour. Were all over here in new york city. With Charles Payne at nasdaq with what might have caused it. Rich edison in our nation
