Temper 30th, my colleague and friend, ali velshi. Members are back on capitol hill this morning, but there does not appear to be a viable deal to keep the federal government funded, and to avoid a costly shutdown. Federal agencies have already notified workers, and prepared Contingency Plans in the event of a shutdown occurs this weekends. That is a possibility that is appearing more and more likely at this late stage. There are just 13 hours left before the end of the fiscal year. Yesterday afternoon, House Republicans tried and failed to pass a Stopgap Measure thats their own members crafted. There was a group of 21 republican holdouts who voted against it. Even though it was a small group, there was more than enough to take the bell, and send republicans all the way back to the drawing board. Republican Congressman Matt Fulton of new york spoke to our nbc news capitol hill correspondent, Julie Tsirkin, just minutes ago. He says republicans need to get another short term bill on the
i think it s ridiculous. they both got it right when they said inflation was underneath joe biden s purview. it s 100% under his watch. geraldo: isn t it ridiculous that bezos and musk are trying to make people feel sorry for him? jesse: you re ridiculous, geraldo. geraldo: what do you mean by that? geraldo: your jesse: greg called biden lazy yesterday and he came out and said the same thing today, that guy has no drive. that s very interesting. geraldo: i think that s a bit of a stretch. jesse: maybe. there might be poop emoji. only if i could use it on the five. geraldo: we re dictating the whole policy of the administration. careful what you say, emily. jesse: it s very significant that these two men, bezos and
good morning, everyone. it s half past the hour. i m randi kaye. thanks for starting the day with us. years after mubarak was toppled from power, the first free election is urnds way. millions are expected to head to the polls today and tomorrow. tensions remain high by what many call a power grab wii the military. ben is joining us from cairo. ben, what are you seeing there this morning and what kind of turnout have you seen in terms of voters? reporter: given what we have seen so far, the turn out is fairly impressive. we are in one room where men are voting. there are lots of people outside. one of the problems today, of course, is that it is very hot. people are becoming impatient. but, certainly, the turnout is good. in the first round of presidential elections, turnout was about 46%, which was lower than the prior election. what we have seen so far is people are coming out despite the heat and despite the wait. one woman told me she s willing to wait all day long to g
secret talks happen all the time, and 99% of them fail. but we are rooting for the 1% chance that these finally succeed. because america needs a grand bargain to prevent our debt rising to twice the size of our economy and to prevent a recession really, really soon. today fed chief ben bernanke, the man who has twisted and turned to get interest rates to zero to try to help this country said now congress must act. i urge congress to come to agreement on that well in advance so as not to push us to the 12th hour. if no action were taken and the fiscal cliff were to kick in in its full size, i think it would be very likely that the economy would begin to contract. contract means get smaller. it means recession. and people talk a whole lot about this fiscal cliff, but sometimes, you know, it kind of blurs together. so what exactly are we talking about? to be honest, this cliff is like we re on the top of mt. everest staring down a 29,000-foot crevasse. at the end of this yea
