It could put the u.s. into a recession. i want to bring in a student, an undeclared voter who did not vote in 2020. marta, whats your question? >> hi, mr. president. my question is what do you think about the united states current debt situation, and how can we move forward? >> such an important question. so were at $33 trillion, a number no one ever thought possible. when we had our economy rocking and rolling just prior to covid coming in, literally we were making a fortune. and oil, we were g...

They use that very seriously, they came in, schumer came in with nancy pelosi. they said we will violate it. they talk a whole lot different than they do right now. i say to republicans out there. if they dont give you massive cuts--you dont have to do a default. and i dont believe theyre going to do a default because i think the democrats are absolutely cave. you dont have that happen. but its better than what we are doing right now. because we are spending money like drunken sailors. >> so jus...

The Democratic leaders and the White House are maintaining the fiction that they will not link talks on the budget to raising the debt limit.

It is unprecedented. and yet, is happening as hes asking the american people for a second shot at the presidency. right now, trump is the republican standard bearer and the front-runner. just think about that. a man found liable by nine jurors of sexual abuse and actual malice is the man to beat. heres what republicans are hearing and saying about the verdict. >> any other candidate faced with this type of verdict would likely never be seen again. >> it has a cumulative effect and people have to...

Hakeem jeffries set in and schumer that they cannot pass a debt ceiling without negotiating the budget agreement. thats the same way we have done it every other time. i dont know why -- even if you go back to schumer even when he was in the minority in 2017 he set the debt limit is the only leverage we have. the concerning is, that schumers whole approach was to wait until the final deadline and take america to the brink. i have been trying to do this from the day i became a speaker. so we went ...

Blame if default does happen? 39% say they blame republicans. biden 36%. thats evenly split. you have this meeting with biden tomorrow. do you think something comes out of that. >> i sure hope so. it is a negotiation between biden and kevin mccarthy with house republicans. the president has known that for weeks. only now is he meeting. he is meeting also with schumer and mcdonnell. it is between he and mccarthy. he has to engage and show leadership. >> bill: do you think the white house was surp...

Limit. >> exactly. so i take schumers point that the house bill as written cant get through the senate, but schumer s bill cant get through the house because members of the republican conference are going to say we have our own bill. and so i think the only solution here is to get in a room and try to find something in the middle, some negotiation. thatss what has happened in previous debt limit ceilings. paul: the administration seemses to believe that if it does come to a dethe fault, they won...
