A special on the latest developments in the mideast. It is 3 a. M. Here in the nations capital, 10 a. M. In israel this morning. People there across in fact, across the mideast are waking up to growing concerns about a possible escalation of hostilities in the region.

frankly for everybody who has been in this country working very hard. but let s stick with the deal out there right now. do you see any way this deal could possibly work for you? we need a cleaner bill. we need more we need more of a path to citizenship for more people, not some. so it definitely works to provide a path to citizenship. but for our industry, that s going through a massive labor shortage right now and that relies on these workers, 1 in 4 restaurant workers in the united states, 13 million workers is foreign born. we actually need more. okay. so from what i am hearing from both of you is that this plan that s been put forward or will be put forward and has been described as having dramatic concessions is pretty much dead on arrival from both your different perspectives. it just will not work. and that leaves us with the looming deadline, another potential government shutdown, and you re both at very different places. how do we get through it? again, i think ther
expects that but what it does do is assemble the top rate is not permanent. if republicans declined to lower the top rate and lowered it to 38 and house didn t touch it and in some cases increased it. this represents some progress republicans can fight another day on this question. you have a few disappointments? i would love to have seen a much cleaner bill. i understand why they did it, to have the support of house republicans from high tax states but we have a $10,000 deduction on state and local taxes. i wish marco rubio had not gotten his childcare tax provision because let s be honest, this is redistribution policy taking from some taxpayers and giving to others,

at the moment? piers, i think right now there are go basic facts i think that are operative here. one is that the speaker could put the bill that we passed last friday on the floor. it s an amendment really, a little more than 15.5 pages long. they can put that on the floor. they can vote against it, a lot of re ppublicans can vote again it. several in pennsylvania said let s pass a clean bill and get it over with opened the government up. once you opened the government up, that taken care of, then we can begin to go back and i would argue this is going back to negotiation because the original negotiation is we excepted a 70 billion-dollar lower number and by doing that speaker boehner said as dana bash reported to pass a cleaner bill and when he couldn t pass it they went in a different direction. we could continue to work on a longer term budget, if this
