In cutting spending at all. were on track to go to $53 trillion in national debt in the next ten years. thats if we dont have any new reckless spending like the last two years under the biden administration. republicans are trying to force through reforms, force through cuts. the only way to do that is if we have walk-away leverage and willing to say no. we need to see this through and force the president to sign this bill and the senate to pass it. >> martha: okay. looks like and were all just ...

York. john, hello to you. >> john: hello to you, sandra. i am john roberts in washington. this is "america reports." president biden and speaker mccarthy are working to nail down a deal. mccarthy says that could be any day now. despite both sides struggling to find common ground. >> sandra: the stakes couldnt be higher. rating agency putting the countrys aaa rating on negative watch now as we approach the deadline. house majority leader steve scalise takes us inside the negotiations when he join...

Are underwater. so, you know, the republicans have a lot of leverage right now, especially because you say they passed their bill. they dont that much leverage. because if biden comes to the table and makes some sort of reasonable deal and they turn it down or mccarthy cuts a deal and the house republicans dont go along with it, then they could get the blame for it. and neither side wants to be blamed for -- biden doesnt want more blame for the bad economy and republicans dont want to give him a...

The debt ceiling as leverage against kevin mccarthy in the same way that kevin mccarthy thinks hes using the debt ceiling as leverage against joe biden and use that agreement to try to avoid a bunch negotiations and september in which joe biden will have much less leverage. what you have just heard is guesswork but so is everything else you have heard from everyone who has not ever been in the room in debt ceiling negotiations. ive made no attempt to talk to steve ricchetti about this and i know...

Then the ukrainians... argue — and i think persuasively — that they should be able to fire back. they, however, have not used western weapons. and i just want to touch on nato�*s expansion. turkey is, of course, very reticent for sweden to join. turkey is also asking congress — the us congress — for its own f—16fighterjets. should that request be tied to accepting swedens membership? yes, absolutely. theres no reason for the turks to hold up the swedes. if the turks have recognised t...

Ignore and override the debt ceiling when it comes into conflict with paying our debt and at the same time i could be advising the president to not use that power. and instead use the that ceiling to force kevin mccarthy into a much more pressurized version of a budget negotiation and a budget agreement, one in which kevin mccarthy actually is able to proclaim to his republican members of the house that just getting joe biden to negotiate is a victory and of itself. thats it! thats my theory of ...

Advising the freedom caucus about what specific demands to make, gaming out how mckcarthy would use their leverage. now hes doing the same thing with the debt ceiling. it matters for a couple reasons. it could impact how these negotiations play out when you have the hard right trying to influence and excerpt their leverage, but its interesting because mark meadows is arguably one of the most important witnesses when it comes to january 6 and the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. there are s...

Because back in 2019, the washington post reported, quote, mitch mcconnell told president trump privately that no politician has ever lost an election for spending more money. inverse is also true, lowering the amount of government spending tends to hurt the economy, hurt american voters. it tends to be politically unpopular. so, again, the republican calculus is simple. you spent like there is no tomorrow when you are in power, because it helps you politically. when you are out of power, you do...
