we figured anyone still at the top of his game, quitting his game after 23 years, that is a big story. he is a big story. now let me be clear, not like adele quitting a promising singing career in her prime, big story, she s in her own luscious league. i digress. tom brady, a big deal. he s leaving the national football team. fox on top of a world that has to adjust. your world right now. welcome. i m neil cavuto. on this earth shattering v development, the goat says he s really going this time. phil keating has more. as you know, he s been retired once before last year. that lasted 40 days. then brady went back to the grid iron. he s won a record seven super bowls with the new england patriots and the tampa bay buccaneers. when he made his video selfie announcement about the retirement, well, brady got a little choked up. i really thank you guys so much, to every single one of you for supporting me. my family, my friends, my teammates. my competitors. i could go on forev
eyes on the president s meeting with kevin mccarthy. the white house blocked press access. they only say that they don t make every meeting the president has with members of congress open to press. ahead of the meeting, both sides said they re dug in and that would indicate not a lot of progress. kevin mccarthy insisting the definite situation reduction and cutting wasteful spending has to be part of this equation here. the treasury secretary has already taken what she described as extraordinary measures to ensure the u.s. does not default on its financial obligations and those actions have pushed the deadline for this to be settled to late spring or early summer. we may hear quite a few more weeks of discussion about this before we get to any true news moving the needle, neil. neil: yeah, you need to push against the deadline to get people off the fence.
we ll see what happens. thanks, jacqui heinrich at the white house. we re monitoring that. ro khanna kind enough to join us. a lot to talk about, sir. let s talk about what s going on behind the closed doors and the president and the speaker meeting. you think this issue can be resolved? in other words, kevin mccarthy wants some sort of flexibility on the part of the president to tie raising the debt creeling to spending or addressing spending. the president adamant that the two should not be tied. they have been tied in the past. so what to you think happens? i think we should listen to jerome powell. he s independent. i don t always agree with him but say raise the debt ceiling and raise it in a timely manner. we gave president trump a debt ceiling raise three times. we pay our debts in this country and i m happy to have that conversation about spending cuts, tax cuts, tax raises. let s have that conversation
agreement, a ten-year deal with fox. he will be yet another billion dollar athlete in the near future. remarkable business man, remarkable athlete and a wonderful father. that s i think the biggest feather in his cap. neil: an inspiring individual to put it mildly as you are you, doug. thanks, doug. now he s going to be on the field with fellow sports casters. by the way, that could be a rough playing field. i didn t like him. i look forward to an interception 40 yards before the field before i take a check down. are the dallas cowboys pro tenders or contenders? they re contenders every year. the stock is going up. we re going to streak it. i played a lot of football in my days. neil: all right. all i know about tom brady, he s a calm, level-headed person.
in american history. it s higher when the revenues that are coming in to government are higher than any other time. so we ve got a lot of revenue. we have a spending problem. that is where i want to find that we can find common ground. can you commit that the u.s. will not default on its obligations? look, if i look at anything and you want to equate this, if you have a child and you give them a credit card and they spend that limit, you re responsible for paying that credit card. the responsible thing, too, is going forward, not just raise the limit but look at how you re spending. i look at chuck schumer. he s never passed a real budget, never passed any appropriations bills but put a $1.7 trillion omnibus coming through. the american public doesn t want that. this is their hard earneded money. they don t want government to waste it. now is a moment in time.
