hello, everyone. thanks for joining me this saturday. i m fredricka whitfield. we begin this hour in washington where right now negotiators are back at the table as they race to end the debt ceiling standoff. republican leaders and white house officials are returning a short time ago, after a marathon session lasted well into the night, the clock is ticking, to get a deal in place, before the u.s. defaults on its loans. the national deficit continues to soar. with no rise to the borrowing limit, the u.s. will default on its loans which could be catastrophic to the economy. the treasury secretary now is saying the deadline for an agreement is just eight days away. but talks are teetering on the brink, with at least one top republican negotiator warning that a deal could come together as soon as today, or fall apart entirely. cnn is following the latest. good morning. you re on capitol hill, and you spoke to the house speaker kevin mccarthy. what did he say? is he optimistic?
