The Story With Martha MacCallum

in 1999. you'd have a flood of headlines if we did default. it's not a good idea at all. we shouldn't be even trying to normalize that. >> martha: what do you say to those that say it won't happen? it can't happen, the default. that they would have to print more money in order to pay the bills? >> the ratings agency is saying, the firms like fitch and morning star, we're going to down grade you because you're risking brinksmanship and default. the thing is, with the freedom caucus, what they're saying is important. the chicago fed, the san francisco fed both have said, researchers have said that government spending is fuelling inflation. when standard & poor's down graded the u.s. in 2011, that's when debt to gdp was 80%. now it's at 129%. the gao said we wasted 2.3

president, and john said when it was president trump the debt went up $7 trillion. >> i think voters are united on the reality people down in d.c. have been playing fast and loose with their money. republicans are the guiltiest. in fact, part of the reason we had so many rounds of voting for the speaker of the house is because republican voters were tired of that type of behavior. and i think that mccarthy would not have been speaker of the house without making commitments to curb that type of behavior. so, yes, i think we should all agree that brinksmanship with the full faith and credit of the american dollar is not a wise thing to do, but what we're not going to do is just decide unilaterally there's only one side responsible for the brinksmanship. i think it's an irresponsible position for a man to then take the better part of 90 days and not actually meet with the speaker of the house. so, yes, i think that is unreasonable, allowing it to get this close is unreasonable.

downgrade. they didn't downgrade the nation, they said there's a possibility they could do so if we go without a resolution. when we talk about what happens in an event like this, we have to remember the precedent of setting a warning before you do the downgrade is part of the standard procedure, not just for fitch but the other major credit ratings agencies as well. when you look at 2011, the debt ceiling crisis at that time, s&p and moody said they were reviewing the united states for a potential downgrade. s&p actually followed through on a downgrade. moody's did not. they might be trying to get ahead of the curve in this case. it's an open question about whether or not the other credit rating agencies will try to move as well. broadly speaking, the story is that the independent auditors are worried the united states, because of the brinksmanship,

Andrea Mitchell Reports

>> first of all, as you pointed out, the brinksmanship is doing damage to the economy. they have relatively little leeway. they don't know exactly what date this hits. the closer and closer your cash balance gets, the more you are in risk of the federal government basically bouncing a check. this isn't like joe the plumber who is rearranging their payments to make sure they have enough in their checking account. the federal government just needs to treat their finances in a very different way. the idea that they have painless magical ways to get around this that i hear from both sides is just wrong. >> american diplomats saying that other countries are talking about the u.s. and not understanding our political process, that it's not the kind of legislative process that they can understand from the world's greatest democracy and the world's greatest economic power. how tough is it to cut a deal that can pass in this narrow a

we pay our bills, whether we left the debt ceiling, suspend it. we can't default. what the problem solvers have said, we have to deal with our debt and deficit issues and be responsible. this can't be looking at tomorrow. it has to be looking down the road. >> neil: thanks, gentlemen. we're tight for time here. democrats now are speaking on this. hakeem jefferys, the house minority leader made some ways with progressives that he was open to a spending freeze. let's listen in. >> that is fiscal responsibility? but yet three times house democrats worked with the trump administration without gamesmanship, partisanship, brinksmanship to make sure that america did not default and that we paid our bills. so why are things different right now? why are house republicans being so unreasonable and so extreme?

Deadline White House

this to happen. >> congressman, earlier today the department of homeland security issued a bulletin that is so startling for what it includes. it includes as potential targets for violence and dpesic violent extremism, religious groups, ethnic groups, people of color, communities of color, government installations, it's almost more stunning for who isn't there. what is the collective response, if any, up on capitol hill to that warning today? >> there has not been much of a response. with republicans in control of the house of representatives, we're not seeing any action at all. and that's part of the problem we're seeing here. we're involved in this brinksmanship around the debt ceiling, threatening to economy, unless they get everything they want. certainly not legislating. they are trying to lower the

Ana Cabrera Reports

unemployment rate was pushed up by .3%, the country lost 340,000 jobs, and for the first time in history, the u.s. credit rating was downgraded. what is at risk today if these negotiations go down to the 11th hour? >> well, absolutely all the same things that were at risk at that time. but also you have to remember that we are currently still in this weird economy due to covid. and, you know, we have been trying to raise interest rates, raising borrowing costs for the american people, in order to get inflation down. and one thing that this brinksmanship could have the power to do is raise interest rates even more because really what markets do is they run on trust. and if other parties can't trust that the united states will pay off its debt in an orderly and serious fashion, which this is not, this is clownery, if the united states can't pay off its debt in a serious fashion, then

june 1st, people think that might be not exactly the case, may have a few days after that. certain ways the u.s. can pay some of its debts at the very least and continue with some spending. we'll see. it's becoming a real game of brinksmanship here. >> gillian: and the country's credit rating could be downgraded moving forward. >> it probably will be challenged, that's ok. we have looked at it from all facets and we believe we are going to stand up and protect the people here in montana, i think that's what americans want and we have taken this decisive action to do so. >> john: montana's governor with us last week predicting a legal challenge to the state's ban on tiktok and he was right. the chinese-owned company filing a federal lawsuit amid growing calls for a nationwide ban on tiktok. chief washington correspondent mike emmanuel has more on the latest twist and mike, what kind of alarms are we hearing from
