Morell provided Intelligence Briefings for president obama, and in his first tv interview, he gave us a briefing on syria and what that complicated civil war means to the United States. In the broadest sense, where is this syria thing going to take us . I fear the breakup of the state of syria. The collapse of the central government. Sectarian warfare, opportunity for al qaeda to have a safe haven. Kroft if you want to know what legalized marijuana might look like, the place to go is colorado, which has the most developed medical Marijuana Industry in the country. When patients arrive this is where theyll have to put their registry card and drivers license to gain access to the actual Marijuana Center itself. Kroft you can smell it. Its not a joking matter. 20 states have legalized marijuana for medical use, and in some cases as a way to raise money for their cashstrapped state budgets. All of those people are violating federal law. Exactly. Im steve kroft. Im leslie stahl. Im morley s
This is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1 a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a Tuesday Morning, im savannah guthrie. And im matt lauer and told to have sex. Thats whey read in the paper. If you didnt see the show yesterday, what did he just say . Well fill you in later. I was doing fine until yesterday. Miley cyrus advised people that after 40 people dont have sex. Matt is well over 40. Everyone at the table, actually. You guys arent well over. Just past 40. Were a hair past 40. A little later on, have some fun with it. But first the standoff over the nations ability to borrow. And how it could impact every american right away. Peter alexander has the latest on the stalemate, good morning. Hi, matt, october 17th, thats the next potential crisis to circle. Thats the debt ceiling. As bad as the shutdown is, economists warn that failing to raise the debt ceiling would be infinitely worse. Its now week two of the Government
Enough that i think people will be paying close enough attention that details count. And i think prepared remarks from secretary lew on that topic would probably be more appropriate. As i indicated before, we plan for every contingency. So obviously, worst case scenario, there are things that we will try to do. But i will repeat, i dont think any option is good. Steven dennis. Could you talk about project process. In the past you negotiated along with the debt ceiling with the blue dogs in 2009, 2010 along with an increase then. Pay as you go reform. The republicans today are talking about lets have maybe another committee that would work out our differences over the next few weeks. Is that something that you could talk about on the side, something that wouldnt necessarily be a concession but something that would be a format for getting a deal done . Heres the thing steven. I know that Speaker Boehner has talked about setting up some new processor some new Super Committee or what have
Republicans would sign on. That would be enough to pass it. But you dont have to take my word for it. Just ask republican congressman peter king. He says, quote, im positive that a clean bill would pass. If it went on the floor tomorrow, i could see anywhere from 50 to 75 republicans voting for it. And if it were a secret ballot, 150.

And the reason that Speaker Boehner hasnt called a vote on it is because he doesnt want to see the Government Shutdown ends. Call a vote right now. And lets see what happens. Boehner wont hold a vote because
