>> THERE ARE LIKELY TO OPTIONS
LEFT FOR MCCARTHY REPUBLICANS
BECAUSE OF FIRST-EVER DEFAULT ON
THE NATIONAL DEFENSE UNDER DEBT
OR GO FOR THEIR AWFUL BILL.
>> THERE IS NO SOLUTION IN THE
SENATE WE HAVE DIVIDED
GOVERNMENT, THE PRESIDENT AND
THE SPEAKER NEED TO REACH AN
AGREEMENT TO GET US PAST THIS
AND PASS.
>> THAT WAS SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER AND SENATE
LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER AND SENATE
MINORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL
SOUNDING OFF ON THE DEBT LIMIT
IT IS BEEN 91 DAYS SINCE
PRESIDENT BIDEN LAST MET WITH
HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY TO
DISCUSS RAISING THE NATION’S
DEBT CEILING WHILE ALSO COMING
BACK ON SPENDING, HOUSE MINORITY
LEADER HAKEEM JEFFRIES SAYS
DEMOCRATS ARE USING A DISCHARGE
PETITION TO FORCE A FLOOR VOTE
FOR CLEAN DEBT CEILING INCREASE
DEMOCRATS LIKE THE PRESIDENT
WANT TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING
NO STRINGS ATTACHED WHATSOEVER
IN TERMS OF SPENDING RESTRAINTS,
JOINING THE OHIO CONGRESSMAN
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE ALSO
FOR FORMER ARMY HIMSELF BRIAN DAVIDSON THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
DAVIDSON THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE, WHERE IS IS GOING.
>> IT’S GOING TO HAVE TO GET
ABOUT THE SENATE HASN’T VOTED ON
OUR PROPOSAL NOR OFFER THEIR OWN
I THINK JOE BIDEN REALIZES HIS
POSITION IS UNTENABLE BUT THERE
DOUBLING DOWN AND CONTINUING TO
THROW LIE AFTER LIE AFTER THEIR
HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE THE ONLY
PARTY THAT IS OFFERED A SOLUTION
IN OUR SOLUTION DOESN’T DEFAULT
ON OUR DEBT NOW TAKES A STEP IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION WE TAKE
SABBATICAL POSITION THAT MATH IS
REAL AND IF YOU DON’T CHANGE
COURSE YOU COULD DEFAULT THE
FUTURE.
WERE TRYING TO SHOW RESTRAINT ON
FUTURE SPENDING AND WE DO THAT
WITHOUT CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY,
MEDICARE BENEFITS FROM VETERANS.
>> I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE SENATE
IS DOING THERE IS AN OP-ED IN
THE JOURNAL THIS MORNING IT IS
TITLED CHUCK SCHUMER’S DEBT
DEFAULT, AND AT THE EDITORIAL
BOARD WRITES THIS WHERE IS CHUCK
HE HAS DENOUNCED THE HOSPITAL AS
DANGEROUS WITH HIS USUAL NUANCE
BUT IF HE WANTS TO AVOID A
DEFAULT ON U.S. DEBT YOU WOULD
HAVE TO PASS A BILL TO THE
SENATE, SO FAR HE’S DONE NOTHING
BUT QUÉBEC, WHY IS SCHUMER SO
AGAINST STARTING TO NEGOTIATE
AND TALK ABOUT A BILL THAT PULLS
IN SPENDING?
>> HE DOESN’T WANT TO PUT HIS
OWN BILL ON THE FLOOR YOU COULD
PUT A SENATE BILL ON THE FLOOR
AND THE REPUBLICANS EVERY
POSSIBLE TO THE HOUSE AND YOU
COULD GO TO CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
AND WORK OUT THE DIFFERENCES AND
COME OUT WITH SOMETHING NEGATIVE
VOTE IN BOTH HOUSES CHUCK
SCHUMER DOESN’T WANT TO CAUSE
THE PROCESS TO BEGIN.
JOE BIDEN IS STILL TRYING TO
DEFEND HIS INDEFENSIBLE POSITION
OF NO NEGOTIATIONS PER THE LAST
OF THE UNITED STATES HAD 120%
DEBT TO GDP THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
DEBT TO THE SIZE OF OUR ECONOMY
WAS AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II
AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II WE
KNEW WE HAD TO PAY DOWN THE DEBT
JOE BIDEN’S ONLY PLAN, THE
DEMOCRATS ONLY PLAN IS TO SPEND
MORE FASTER.
MARIA: MEANWHILE PRESIDENT BIDEN
IS CALLING YOU AND YOUR
COLLEAGUES DANGEROUS, I KNOW
SPEAKER MCCARTHY IS PUSHING BACK
ON THE PRESIDENT’S CLAIMS THAT
THE GOP DEBT BILL WILL CUT
VETERANS AFFAIRS, MCCARTHY’S
OFFICE TOLD FOX, HOUSE
REPUBLICANS WILL NOT CUT
VETERANS BENEFITS AND PRIORITIZE
SPENDING AND THE UPCOMING
APPROPRIATION PROCESS, WHAT YOU
GOING TO DO THERE IS A WAR OF
MESSAGING HERE THE PRESIDENT
CONTINUES TO COME OUT AND ATTACK
THIS BILL CALLING IT WACKO
COLINA EXTREME IN THESE ARE
SERIOUS ISSUES, THE MARKET WAS
DOWN SHARPLY YESTERDAY WE CAN
EXPECT MORE OF THAT IF THIS
IMPASSE CONTINUES.
>> BY THE END OF THE DAY SOME
PEOPLE CAN START TO CONCLUDE
DAMAGE TO OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM
IS ON PURPOSE THERE ARE LOTS
ABOUT POLICY DECISIONS THAT HAVE
LED US TO THIS POINT.
THAT IS A REPUBLICAN MESSAGE
IT’S TIME TO TURN AWAY AND START
MAKING GOOD POLICY DECISIONS.
MATH IS REAL THERE IS
ESSENTIALLY STILL SAYING
MONETARY THEORY IS GOING TO WORK
KEEP PRINTING MONEY, RAISE THE
DEBT CEILING DON’T WORRY ABOUT
CHANGING COURSE KEEP PRINTING
MONEY AT THIS POINT THE EVIDENCE
IS VERY CLEAR YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO.
MORE MONEY BUT IS NOT TO BUY THE
SAME AMOUNT OF STUFF YOUR GAS,
GROCERIES, HOUSING, EVERYTHING
IS LESS AFFORDABLE AND IT’S ALL
PURPOSEFUL DECISIONS AND LET’S
NOT START ABOUT WE DON’T KNOW
ENERGY POLICIES LOOK AT THE
SOCIALIST REDISTRIBUTION TAX
THAT THEY’RE PUTTING ON PEOPLE
WITH GOOD CREDIT TO GIVE TO
PEOPLE WITH CREDIT, EVERYTHING
ABOUT THIS A ADMINISTRATION IS
DECISIONS THEY ARE MAKING ON
PURPOSE THAT CAUSE REAL HARM TO
AVERAGE AMERICANS IN WHEN THEY
SAID THEY WANTED TO
FUNDAMENTALLY REMAKE AMERICA
DEMENTED THEY ARE RISKING THE
COLLAPSE OF OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM
OVER THE HORRIBLE POLICY
CHOICES.
I THINK FOR SOME OF THEM THEY’RE
STARTING TO THINK OF A FUTURE.
>> THAT’S WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE
HERITAGE FOUNDATION OF THE
MORTGAGE PLAN THAT THE
PRESIDENT’S NEW MORTGAGE ROLE
CAUSES THE U.S. ECONOMY TO TAKE
A LARGE STEP TOWARDS ANOTHER
2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS.
YOU RECENTLY SENT A LETTER TO
THE WHITE HOUSE THREATENING TO
REPEAL THIS ROLE, WHERE IS THIS
GOING THIS WENT INTO PLACE THIS
WEEK ON MONDAY.
IT’S BEING CALLED SOCIALISM,
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
>> MY HOPE SOMEONE WAS STANDING
SOMEONE BEING FORCED TO PAY THE
HIGHER FEE WILL BE ABLE TO GET
AN INJUNCTION IN COURT AND STOP
IT WE ARE WORKING WITH
NONPROFITS FIND THE RIGHT CASE
TO BRING WE HAVE A HEARING
SCHEDULED FOR MAY 17 TO DEAL
WITH THIS ON HOUSING AND
INSURANCE AND WILL HAVE A
HEARING LATER IN THE MONTH WHERE
WE START AND NOTICE A BILL FOR
CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW TO CLAWBACK
THE ACTION BY JOE BIDEN.
MARIA: WE WILL BE WATCHING THAT,
