the fray while the gop primary shakes out. >> president biden: i'm being serious. i haven't focused that much. a lot of competent candidates trying to get the nomination. we'll see. >> everything from the president's campaign video announcement to that dnc statement have shown the white house or the president's approach to his re-election will be putting trump or the shadow of trump on the ballot meaning we'll hear a lot about this ultra maga right wing extremism like we did during the debt limit debate. >> bill: a campaign maybe like we've never quite seen before. jacque from the north lawn. >> dana: karl rove fox news contributor joins us now. talk about republicans first in iowa. desantis was on "fox & friends" yesterday and explaining how he can win the state. >> we are competing everywhere. we have an incredible amount of
leadership since your consequential election in january congressional republicans have not been so united in decades. as you navigate the debt limit debate you are the steward of the community and will determine whether it continues to strengthen or evaporate. as a traditional deal kevin mccarthy loses 30 votes own here, the democrats lose 30 votes over there, they pass it in the middle. but now will he keep his speakship if he does that? >> only kevin mccarthy will decide whether to put this deal on the floor of the house. i think there are two questions. one of the questions is are you going to lose conservatives? the answer is yes. and the other question is does it anger them so much they bring some motion to vacate where they try to remove the speaker from his job? and i think those are two separate questions where and we aren't at a place here where we can answer the second one even though the first is probably he's going to lose some
mccarthy will not be able to deliver the votes for whatever deal he strikes with biden. a week from now i don't know how we are any closer without a strong democratic win in the debt limit debate. and i would also say that that means that at some point we do need to hear voices of support from chuck schumer and senate democrats to remind the nation that mccarthy's position could not get through the senate. who knows what to get through the senate, it is not mccarthy 's current position. >> andrew, i, mean this is why we are hearing 60 plus progressives calling on the president to consider the invocation of the 14th amendment, in part as a counter weight to these conservatives, regardless of how legally perilous or complicated it might actually be. it is why you are hearing some talk of, can the white house siphon off enough moderate republicans to reach a deal on their own without kevin mccarthy. which of these scenarios at this point actually seems the most likely? >> the latter wouldn't jeopardize speaker mccarthy speakership of course.
mccarthy struck to become speaker. saying, hey, i, will be able to get a deal done. no he won't. mccarthy will not be able to deliver the votes for whatever deal he strikes with biden. a week from now i don't know how we are any closer without a strong democratic win in the debt limit debate. and i would also say that that means that at some point we do need to hear voices of support from chuck schumer and senate democrats to remind the nation that mccarthy's position could not get through the senate. who knows what to get through the senate, it is not mccarthy's current position. >> andrew, i, mean this is why we are hearing 60 plus progressives calling on the president to consider the implication of the 14th amendment, in part as a counter weight to these conservatives, regardless of how legally perilous or complicated it might actually be. it is why you are hearing some talk of, can the white house fight enough moderate republicans to reach a deal on their own without kevin mccarthy. which of these scenarios at
steadfast manner ukraine throughout the course of this conflict. when we talk to u.s. officials they make clear that has to be maintained, has to continue, and the sanctions piece is a critical element along with the lethal assistance and financial aid. president biden also focused on what's going on back home, the debt limit debate is still very much under way. negotiations behind closed doors from the president's top negotiators and house republicans for several hours yesterday. the president this morning here was briefed by his negotiating team before starting his day. he also left the dinner of the leaders, a working dinner of leaders here at the summit early in order to be briefed once again by his negotiators. a balancing act here, a lot of juggling going on but two very consequential issues at a very consequential moment for both. >> phil mattingly, i know it is late there, you've been working long hours, we appreciate your reporting. as we just heard from nic robertson and phil sources tell cnn the u.s. is appeared to approve the transfer of f-16
hand. this white house is beholding to its base. we saw it in the democrat primary where every single candidate raised their hand during the debate basically for open borders and for free services. and what has me so frustrated as a representative is when i talk to my constituents, when i talk to veterans who don't have the services that they need and deserve, when i talk to teachers whose classrooms are overwhelmed. our infrastructure crumbling and yet those are services, rightly, for american citizens. we talk about the debt limit debate. we talk about whether this country can sustain spending for american citizens. the white house shoulder shrugs at the prospects of 8 million new people coming in and putting a strain on those same services like it's no big deal. that is unfair to the taxpayer, unfair to these people who have paid into the system and already aren't getting the services that
all right. and 10 legislators want 9 million for broadband expansion, which is crazy because 800 billion has been spent. the president of citizens against government waste, the group behind the report, joins us now. tom, that is extraordinary, because republicans, as we approach the debt limit debate say we have to cut spending. there is a lot of stuff that could be cut. >> absolutely, citizens -- [cutting out] -- 26 billion in earmarks report. the answer on capitol hill under president biden has been we're going to spend more money, that is how you solve problems and get duplication. there are reports that point it out and do not do anything,
