all of that is true. to be clear, the united states government to fight falls on its loans, that would not be a small thing. it s not like pena credit card bill a few days late. the entire world wide modern financial system is built on the idea that the united states government is the safest bore aware on the planet. but republicans seem intent on playing with fire with this one. the washington post reports that house republicans are preparing a plan, telling the treasury department what to do, have congress in the white house don t agree to lift the nation s debt limit, showing their how they are quote, preparing to threaten to not lift the debt ceiling, without major spending cuts from the biden administration. now, i know you re thinking, we ve been here before. many, times republicans have made threats, they ve even shut down the government a few times on this issue. but someone always
now the president has gone to the border, and waited for the next talking point. without that, there is not much substantive criticism for this president. it s not about the policy, nothing about what this infrastructure bill is done. matter-of-fact, there are republicans in this congress who were in the last congress, and did not vote for that some of this legislation, where they re touting in a district. this is why it s important for the white house, and allies the white house to playoff this. so i m happy, this is our second conversation in three days, probably, i m always happy to talk with you. is this what we re gonna be talking about the next two years. because there s an does not appear to be it seems to, be seven or eight investigations the last point, that s where i lost count. yes, and ali, it is our job
republicans, if they were moderate, should never have voted in favor for. so this is what made you interesting is congressman, you and i ve talked many many, times you are also gracious to come to my show very early on a weekend morning, we don t come from the same place as a lot of members of congress. members of congress, in this country, tend to be pretty rich, generally speaking pretty white. you have a completely different background, and makes you and a handful of other members of congress say, don t mess with regular peoples lives. don t punish the regular people for the stuff. and, yet we are falling back on this. we are doing those things like with the irs agents, like with the debt ceiling, that are going to hurt regular people. that s exactly right. so the policy consequences of not having more working class folks, in congress. are devastating. it s why we have not yet passed a 15 dollar minimum wage for the united states senate. it is why we still don t have voting righ
voted to overturn election results. this is someone who, as the first order business, got it as part of the rules package, the office of congressional, ethics and is lying to you about the biden ministration coming after gas stove insulin and so forth. so no, one unfortunately, and that party can be trusted to be honest. those two things are related, kevin mccarthy slim leading congress, which by the way you had when your congressman, the democrats had the same margin, but his means that he can t afford to lose santos. he s on democratic side, i like the 20 people so george santos been on a night states congressman, to somebody safe right now. i would say, our country can t afford to have people at george santos in office, and if kevin mccarthy wary competent leader of his party, then he would be able to continue mina speak, or even if joe george santos seat were to flip democratic on a special election on his resume.
