Video: President's Press Conference

Senate to work next week on debt limit impasse

Change of schedule announced after president prodded lawmakers to 'get it done' 

After being called out by President Obama for not striking a deal to avoid a government default and reduce federal deficits, the Senate has canceled its planned July Fourth recess. NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell reports.

The Morning Joe panel – including former DLC chairman Harold Ford Jr. and Time's Mark Halperin – discusses the president's Wednesday press conference on the debt. Obama stated that elimination of selected tax breaks for oil companies and the wealthy must be included in any deficit reduction plan.

The Morning Joe panel continues its discussion on the president's debt-related Wednesday press conference. The president considered keeping Congress in D.C. unless progress is made this week on the debt ceiling.


One day after the President Obama scolded Congress for the stalled debt ceiling talks, Republicans on Capitol Hill blasted back. NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd reports.
