is it acceptable to me to very $4 billion in savings? sure, the make up is up for discussion and negotiation, that negotiation s ongoing, and i m confident we ll achieve a conclusion on that. because at this point both sides don t want to jump off this cliff together. now, this deal if it passes will give both sides time to hammer out another agreement that will keep the government running through september. but with so many house freshmen republicans demanding massive cuts in spending, there is no sign that both sides can make that happen. ali and kiran, basically we re in a situation right now where both sides are only capable of keeping the government running two weeks at a time if this deal passes. there s no guarantee. the problem, jim, of course, is the only agreement they came to was to say that they might be able to extend this for two weeks. there s actually no real movement between the democrats and the republicans on the actual budget.
feel guilty for being safe here. so a lot of mixed emotions going on with me. and we are happy to be safe, happy to be alive. but the situation on the ground in libya, in tripoli is concerning to us. we are in constant contact with family, trying to figure out what s going on, what we can do to help. salam, i understand there was mixed emotions, you didn t want to leave. i know your mother wanted you to get out and get somewhere safe. but what is it like now in tripoli? yeah. i definitely didn t want to leave. i wanted to be there so that the word could get out especially the first few days of this ordeal. there was a total media blackout. it was me along with a couple of friends driving around tripoli trying to take videos, pictures. report what s going on because

ricky gervais. nobody they went as far to the other let s look at ricky gervais on this side and the golden globes, which he was criticized for that. where should we be? frankly as a viewer, i d rather be on the ricky gervais side of things. the academy takes themselves seriously. they re going to prefer a hathaway/franco situation. do you think they re going to go back to the showman type to people who are funny who can hold the stage and bring some of their own sensibility to what s going on. i thought anne hathaway was very sweet and charming and, god knows, seven costume changes. each one more eye popping than the next, great. as a guy she was a trooper. she was like she was so like, okay, let s do this. she had that sort of junior high school musical quality whereas
on a boat with so many americans? so it was definitely paranoia and fear being on that boat. understandable. i think i felt safer than being at home. right. and let me just ask you quickly, what happens next. what are the plans to get everybody out of malta. or are you waiting it out until you can go back to libya? or are you coming to the u.s.? right now it s uncertain. we re not sure if we want to wait out here or go back to america. the situation s kind of still unclear. the information from the american embassy has been kind of distressing, i guess. i think it s more important to focus on what s going on with libya and what the world can do to stop it. well, thank you, both, for telling your personal stories, harrowing ones at that. and i m glad you re in malta for now and we wish you the best of luck. thanks so much.
