Well here's a question these debt negotiations -- the biggest problems that the political leaders are happening.

Within their own parties to -- you have this cut happened balance coalition pushing the house speaker Boehner to tweak his budget bill and at a balanced budget amendment.

While you have the Democrats some of them upset the President Obama is even open at all to making cuts to entitlements.

So -- the right people even at the negotiating table.

Meeting the president and progress there.

Fox News host a Special Report joins us now from DC and we all keep assuming -- -- kind of financial Wall Street types spread -- they're gonna figure this thing out but in less.

The speaker and the president can get the flanks of their own party.

To agree to anything that they're proposing and I'm not sure they do see a path to a deal what do you think.

We'll just in the past few minutes Colin Republicans came out of closed door meeting up on Capitol Hill and they seemed unified on the -- -- plan.

And this is didn't re written Boehner plan as you may remember.

This morning the Congressional Budget Office.

How it's for the Boehner plan was not making people very happy on the Republican side the conservative side.

The Tea Party side.

There was a meeting this morning there's been some rewriting going on.

This is a quote from Allen west's congressman from Florida of course who.

Is about his tea parties you can get your He said I believe Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and President Obama are going to be surprised tomorrow night.

Is this going to pass he's asked and He says I'd bet my retirement on that are around that that is.

Just moments ago coming out of this meeting so could we see progression there possibly now what happens to this.

Is the Republicans will want to keep their leverage they to get this bill out of the house.

Senator Reid is said that it is dead on arrival and sent.

But as you get closer and closer to this deadline and there are fewer and fewer paths to get this thing raised.

You start to take the last lifeboat and that will be one that's on the floor.

OK so then what you say it does pass the house tomorrow.

And take him and we've been -- -- that we've been doing this for weeks trying to work through these what if scenarios but the senate will make some changes -- -- -- -- -- yet.

And what changes might they make and then after that gonna get a senate back to the house a lot still has to get -- but what -- that said -- change about the Boehner bill.

Well that's a good question and then we don't know yet but they could insert some tied to.

The gang of six they could do something bigger.

Like that they could insert.

More cuts to try to take it to longer so that -- -- meets the requirement for the president that.

The debt ceiling is raised.

Past the election.

Bottom line is something will happen in the senate to that bill -- come back to the house then you're talking about a ping pong match that takes you into Tuesday.

The earliest that something could end up on the -- desk.

Is Tuesday so the going -- now and it changes by the hour the going bet now is that congress will pass some kind of short term thing.

That is five days ten days.

And then they get some longer term deal done.

All right OK Brett all would always get information this is a particularly valuable because you said the Republicans -- Basically sound unified and even some Tea Party support for the -- bill Brett -- tonight on.
