going to go along the bipartisanly negotiated bill that would raise the debt ceiling. now for the last, mccarthy salsa posture for those people, because you've got to remember fleeing a dual pronged game here. it is not just the debt ceiling, it is looking ahead to make sure that he doesn't alienate anyone so much that they do not trigger a motion to vacate, almost eight of his speakership into flux again. >> all right, well in the category of some things never change. mark, i was talking to some folks very close to these negotiations, and i heard two things that are somewhat distressing. that the white house proposed to close the carried interest loophole, that is, the ridiculous giveaway for the private equity industry, and a separate proposal that would eliminate overpayments to private health care companies. well guess what? as i've heard, both of these things are now off the table. so that tells us, is not about republicans or democrats getting their way, it is big donors, and big lobbyists seem to control it all. >> well, you put your finger on the one issue that to me has
