it's also notable president biden praised house speaker kevin mccarthy, who emerged stronger this week after also being constantly underestimated politically. mccarthy managed to use the threat of a debt default to force the white house to negotiate a deal. and more than two-thirds of house republicans agreed to it. he didn't lose his speakership, even though 71 republicans didn't sign onto the deal and at least one republican, chip arroyo, a skeptic of mccarthy as speaker, called it a turd sandwich. but they voted to pass it in both chambers. because of the defense cuts proposed, only 17 republicans voted in favor of the bill in the senate. >> to my house colleagues, i can't believe you did this. to the speaker, i know you've got a tough job. i like you. but the party of ronald reagan is dying. >> but what didn't happen is also worth noting. republicans didn't destroy the economy, progressive democrats didn't tank this deal, republicans didn't destroy the biden agenda and house republicans didn't get rid of kevin mccarthy. they walked away with a pretty modest $1.5 trillion in projected savings, and that's on

they've also ruled out defense cuts. are you comfortable with the biden administration coming to an agreement if those are part of the terms? >> you know, i think one of the things that is indicated by the information that you just shared is that for all this talk about negotiations, republicans are not negotiating at all. they, in fact, republican matt gaetz expressed in a party meeting today that this is, in fact, a hostage situation. and i want to be clear about what the republican party is taking hostage. it is not democrats. it is the entire u.s. economy. and for them to have this situation and try to use it in unprecedented move of taking the entire u.s. economy hostage in order to secure cuts to veteran's health care, to medicare, medicaid potentially or just threaten all of those

congresswoman, welcome to the program, thank you for joining us. i want to get straight to the specifics. because we are getting close to a decision right here. our reporting is that republicans have essentially ruled out tax increases. they have also ruled out defense cuts. are you comfortable with the biden administration coming to an agreement if those are part of the terms? >> i think one of the things that is indicated by the information you've just shared is that for all of this talk of negotiations, republicans are not negotiating at all. they in fact, republican matt gaetz expressed in a pardon today that this is in fact a hostage situation and i want to be clear that what the republican party is taking hostage. not democrats, it is the entire u.s. economy. for them to have this situation,

that the administration wants to push, some revenues in there. where is this and that part going? >> well, house speaker kevin mccarthy who you just heard it from him again, he's saying they're not going to approve any sort of tax increases on the wealthy and corporations, which has been the white house's position. he underscored they're not going to support a clean debt ceiling. i asked him about defense cuts. he said they're also off the table. so certainly they're going to have to find somewhere to meet in the middle. you suggested maybe they could find agreement when it comes to spending cap, whether that would be one year or two years as some democrats have suggested or the ten years that republicans want to see. >> neil: i'm wondering about that. lee, it's been a prominent part of the republican plan, not only to do something in the short term to put a led on spending but to go out ten years. we know the history of

security. today he said defense cuts are off the table. that means all the cuts he's talking about would land on domestic spending. if you're thinking that doesn't sound like a deal democrats would be willing to support, you would be right. mccarthy is continuing to squeeze down on the negotiations right now and it's hard to see how that gets him the numbers that he needs to pass a bill if he can get a deal. here's what he said about passing that bill if they get that far. >> i believe members should have 72 hours as promised, you got to pass the house, write it, make sure it's right, and the senate has to pass it. that's why waiting until this last minute is not the way to govern. >> reporter: don't think there would be many people that disagree with the idea that congress needs to stop waiting until the last minute to get down. the 72-hour rule is a rule house republicans put in congress that that's how long members would have to read any bill before there's a vote. it could get waived but it would

here. i have to start reigning things in because we are $31 trillion in debt? do they want to wait three weeks? is this not brinkmanship yet? >> what they want to do is keep spending money. traditionally when you increase the debt ceiling, it's also a time to look at why you need to increase the debt ceiling. this happened under president trump. it happened under president obama. president bush, president clinton. it's not unusual to have spending reforms accompany a debt ceiling increase. but, i will tell you what the democrats are hoping to do secretly. they want to cut defense once again. i'm on the armed services committee. we were supposed to sit down in committee later this month and pals our annual defense bill, which provides troops pay raises. which acquires the weapons and equipment that we need for our national security and a lot of other important things. pushed that off by a month. why? because he wants defense cuts to be on the table. >> brian: how could he honestly say we have to take on the challenge of china, honestly say

The Story With Martha MacCallum

>> martha: but we have to stop that. we have to rein that in. the government spends more -- >> wait a second. if you really want to stop that, you have to elect people that want to stop that. >> we thought -- that's the point. hold on. no biden came on -- >> trump -- >> biden said he was the deal maker. he was the one to avoid all of this bickering back and forth. he was going to get stuff done. he's not speaking a word. >> i'm not going to defend -- i'm far from defending joe biden and janet yellen. read my stuff on them. they're insane when it comes to spending. president trump did not prioritize spending cuts. >> martha: neither did president bush, this is an across the board problem. >> the only one that prioritized it is the ronald reagan, chip o'neal -- >> martha: mccarthy is saying there's a little bit here. we're not going to start with defense cuts.

the wealthy and corporations, that put a $2 trillion add onto the deficit. so, you know, this is sort of new religion here. the other piece that bothered me, i saw a quote yesterday, one of their leaders said, we're not going to give joe biden a blank check. now, that betrays either a gross misunderstanding of what this is all about or deliberate effort to mislead people. this isn't a check for future spending this is paying our bills that's what this is all about. it's like you get your credit card bill at the end of the month and say, i'll square up my finances by not paying this bill these are for expenses that have already been incurred. that's what is really frus frustrating about this the bill, obviously, isn't going to go anywhere in the senate here's something really interesting that i learned digging into this. they're big on, you know, rolling back expenditures. they say no defense cuts, no
