| 0:00.0 | The House passed the debt ceiling deal and the Senate is poised to take it up as we speak. |
| 0:05.6 | We'll quickly run down what's in the deal and what it all means. |
| 0:09.3 | Then a growing number of conservatives want to revisit no-fault divorce laws in this country. |
| 0:14.5 | How serious is this effort and could it change marriage as we know it? |
| 0:18.7 | Then, in slow takes, we'll look back at the Jordan Neely subway death. |
