Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here.

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Are the stories we're following today.

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: We begin with an offer to address the national debt.

26
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is proposing a bill that would

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: add one and a half trillion dollars to the debt ceiling,

28
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: enough to avert a default until March of next year.

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: The bill would also cut spending by about one hundred

30
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: and thirty billion dollars, and McCarthy says that's not all.

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 6: Our bill would actually clawback billions and dollars of unspent

32
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 6: COVID money that.

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: Has set for the last two years.

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 6: The American people are tired of politicians who use COVID

35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 6: as an excuse for more extreme inflationary spending.

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: But President Biden is already rejecting House Speaker McCarthy's plan.

37
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 7: Magar, Republic and Congress are threatened to default on the

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 7: national debt, the debt that took two hundred and thirty

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 7: years to accumulate overall. Overall, unless we do what they say,

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 7: they say they're going to default unless I agree to

41
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 7: all these wacko notions they have.

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: Presidents spoke at a union hall outside Washington. Now it's

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: unclear if McCarthy's plan has enough support from fellow Republicans.

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: A vote on the bill could come as soon as

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: next week.

46
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: Meantime, Nathan spending on Ukraine remains in focus. The Biden

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: administration has announced another package of weapons and ammunition support,

48
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: valued at up to three hundred and twenty five million dollars.

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: It will include AMMO for rockets and anti armor systems

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: and more artillery rounds. The munitions will be taken from

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: US dogpiles. It is the thirty sixth such drawdown.

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: Elsewarn Washington Amy, the Supreme Court has made another move

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: on reproductive rights. The High Court is allowing access to

54
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: a widely used abortion pill until at least tomorrow. Justices

55
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: are still considering whether to allow longer restrictions on the

56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: drug Mifa pristone to take effect. Scott Carr has more

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: from our Bloomberg ninety nine one newsroom in Washington.

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 8: The Court pushed back at original Wednesday deadline to decide

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 8: whether to allow a Texas judge's order restricting the sale

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 8: and use of Mifa pristone. While a legal challenge to

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 8: the Medicaidation's FDA approval over twenty years ago continues. The

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 8: Biden administration and the drugs maker Danko Labs in New

63
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 8: York want the High Court to reject the ruling out

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 8: of Texas, at least as long as the case makes

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 8: its way through the courts. The additional time could be

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 8: part of an effort to craft an order that has

67
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 8: broad support among the justices, and one or more of

68
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 8: them might be writing a separate opinion. They're now expected

69
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 8: to act by Friday night. In Washington, I'm Scott Carr,

70
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 8: Bloomberg Daybreak.

71
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,200

72
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: to launch its next generation starship rocket this morning. A

73
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: problem with pressurization resulted in the previous launch being scrubbed.

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: The test flight as seen as a key step towards

75
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,920

76
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: is a CEO of SpaceX.

77
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: Amy. His other company is in the spotlight as well, Tesla.

78
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: Its shares are down seven and a half percent in

79
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: early trading after profit missed and operating margins came in

80
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: just above eleven percent in the first quarter, down from

81
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: nineteen percent last year. Musk is signaling Tesla will continue

82
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: cutting prices to stoke demand.

83
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 9: We really don't think about competitors that much. We're the

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 9: only ones making cars that technically we could sell for

85
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 9: zero profit for now and then yield actually tremendous economics

86
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 9: in the future through autonomy.

87
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: Elon Musk says the best scenario could see Tesla produce

88
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: as many as two million vehicles this.

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: Year, and the parade of earnings continues. This morning, we've

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,479

Speaker 10: microscope will be banks deposits, and the question everybody wants

96
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 10: to know is whether spooked customers dump their accounts and

97
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 10: transfer their cash to the perceived safety of the big banks.

98
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 10: The results yesterday from Western Lines Bank Or offered some hope.

99
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,160

Speaker 2: Thank you John. New York FED President John Williams says

105
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: the recent banking termol may make it harder for households

106
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: and businesses to get credit. Williams calls the banking system

107
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: sound and resilient, but he says recent developments will likely

108
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: lead to tighter credit conditions and that will affect spending

109
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,080

114
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 11: in effect a shop rebuke of Pingan and its vision

115
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 11: of unlocking value. The British Bank HSBC fully rejected the

116

Speaker 11: suggestion of a partial listing of its Hong Kong business,

117
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,720

Speaker 3: Good morning, Nathan. Police say an attempt at traffic stop

131
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: turn into a chase through Midtown Manhattan. According to the NYPD,

132
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: the driver hit one police officer in the head, evading

133
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: three police stops, speeding down sidewalks, ramming into a fire hydrant,

134
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: and slammed into a restaurant street shack. This woman says

135
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 3: the driver just missed her by inches while she was

136
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: crossing the street with a walker.

137
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: I was scared to death. The car kept speeding down

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: the street.

139
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 9: I was crossing from this side to that side.

140
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: The car I had the.

141
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 10: Light with his piece of wheel hit me down here

142
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 10: and the bumper came flying off.

143
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: The car eventually came to a stop. The driver managed

144
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: to crawl out from behind an inflated airbag and escaped.

145
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: Investigators are trying to determine the cause of this week's

146
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 3: parking garage collapse in Lower Manhattan. One worker was killed

147
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: and seven others were heard. Officials say, according to initial findings,

148
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: the age of building and the number of vehicles parked

149
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: on the roof deck contributed to the collapse. The eighty

150
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: four year old white man who shot Ralph Yarrel, a

151
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: black teenager in Kansas City, pleaded not guilty in his

152
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: first court appearance Wednesday. Yarl mistakenly went to Andrew Lester's

153
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 3: door looking for his younger brothers. Lester walked with a

154
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,559
Speaker 3: cane in court as he entered charges a first degree

155
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: assault and armed criminal action in the shooting. Yar family

156
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: attorney Lee Merritt talked about Lester.

157
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 12: I want him to make this as easy on the

158
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 12: family as possible, to be forthcoming about what he did,

159
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 12: and he's going to spend the rest of his life

Speaker 12: of his assets are going to become upsas sets me.

Speaker 3: While the father of Kaylin Gillis is speaking out to

163
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: thirty six. Gillis was a passenger in a car with

164
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: three friends Saturday night, all looking for another friend's house

165
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: in a rural area of Hebron, New York, when they

166
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: mistakenly pulled into sixty five year old Kevin Monahan's driveway.

167
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: Police say the friends never got out of the car,

168
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: but Monahan opened fire from his porch, striking the twenty

169
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: year old Kaylen's father, Andrew Gillis.

170
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 8: She had hopes and dreams of becoming a marine biologist

171
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 8: or a veterinarian.

172
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: She loved animals and this man took that away from us.

173
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: And a Texas cheerleader remains in the ICU after two

174
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: cheerleaders were shot after one of them mistakenly tried to

Speaker 4: Good morning, Nathan Is. Yankees Angels series at the Stadium.

182
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 4: Build is the Battle of the MVPs. Aaron Judge against

183
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 4: Shoe a Otani, who on Tuesday hit a two run

184
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 4: homer before the Yankees recorded in out. So last night,

185
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 4: Judge hit a two run homer before the Angels recorded

186
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 4: it out. It came after Judge making a remarkable juggling

187
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: catch to take another first ending homer away from Otani.

188
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: Game one tennings, the Yanks scored on a Glabor Tortis

189
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 4: sack fly. They won three to two, and if they

190
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 4: went today at four o'clock, they will have still not yet.

191
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: Lost a series.

192
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 4: The Mets won the series in LA. They beat the

193
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: Dodgers five to three, despite Max Scherzer's ejection after the

194
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,479
Speaker 4: third inning thrown out first sticky stuff, an accusation.

195
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 13: Shuzer denied, you sweating rosin your hands sticky. But I

196
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 13: don't get how I get ejected when I'm in front

197
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 13: of MLB officials doing exactly exactly what you want and

198
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 13: being deemed my hands too sticky when I'm using legal substance.

199
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: I do not understand that bullpen did the job.

200
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: After shurs Or left, Brandon Imo had a two one

201
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: Humber Marcana two on double. Mets visit the Giants tonight,

202
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: Stanley cuff welloffs. The Islanders were down two nothing and

203
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: then up three to two Hurricane scored five minutes into overtime,

204
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 4: won four to three to take a two to nothing

205
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 4: series leads. Florida surprisingly won Game two in Boston. Home

206
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 4: wins for Dallas and Edmonton. All those series are now

207
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: tied to one. The battle for the Hudson continues.

208
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: Tonight.

209
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: Rangers, having one game one, play Game two with the

210
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 4: Devils Nets are down two nothing.

211
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: They'll host the Sixers in Game three.

212
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,840

221
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 5: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.

222
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: The debate over the debt ceiling in Washington now includes

223
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: a bill to debate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's proposing to

224
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: raise the nation's borrowing limit for about a year while

225
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: cutting government spending two last year's levels. The bill would

226
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: also add new work requirements to government benefits like Medicaid

227
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: and food stamps.

228
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 6: Right now, there are more job openings than people looking

229
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 6: for work. Our plan ensures adults without dependence earn a

230
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 6: paycheck and learn new skills.

231
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: And that was Speaker McCarthy unveiling the three hundred and

232
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: twenty page bill yesterday. And for more we're joined now

233
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: by Julie Norman, co director of the Center for US

234
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: Politics at University College London. Juliet's always great to speak

235
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: with you, and we've heard Democrats, including President Biden Warren

236
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: in the past that Republicans would aim at benefit cuts

237
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: as part of a debt sealing increase debate. Is this

238
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: bill just dead on arrival?

239
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 14: Well, Nathan, it will be interesting to see what happens

240
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 14: with the bill itself, because it'll be hard for McCarthy

241
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 14: even to get all of his own caucus to vote

242
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 14: unanimously on this to get it through the House. Even

243
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 14: if it gets through the House, Democrats have been clear

244
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 14: it's not going to get through the Senate, and Biden

245
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 14: has said obviously he's going to be to it. So

246
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 14: in terms of legislation, it's sort of dead in the water,

247
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 14: as you said, But what McCarthy is hoping is that

248
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 14: this will push Biden to negotiate on the debt ceiling,

249
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 14: at least have something down on paper to start working

250
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 14: with and to get the two talking to see what

251
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 14: they can do before June or before a default.

252
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 2: Now, are you seeing any signs that this could spur

253
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 2: President Biden to negotiate because his position at this point

254
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: has been he wants to clean debt ceiling increase and

255
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: any negotiations on spending need to be left of the

256
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: budget process.

257
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,239
Speaker 14: Well, that's exactly right for Biden and for the administration.

258
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 14: It's an idea of principle as well, this idea that

259
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 14: we don't barter over raising the debt ceiling. This should

260
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 14: just be something that is a clean deal by Congress

261
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 14: that doesn't require all these negotiations and back dealings over

262
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 14: and over again. And then there's also the details of

263
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 14: this as well. You know, Biden is not looking to

264
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 14: join on with McCarthy and Republicans in cutting federal agencies

265
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 14: and increasing work requirements or going along with any other

266
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 14: the measures here. So there's the details, but also just

267
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 14: the larger principle at play.

268
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should talk a little bit more about these

269
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: details as well, because, as you mentioned, there is that

270
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: difficulty for Speaker McCarthy just to keep his own caucus

271
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: rallied around this bill. He's only got a four seat

272
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: majority in the House. What's the potential that a certain

273
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: number of Republicans don't even support this offer.

274
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's going to be really tricky, and we've seen

275
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 14: that already in how long it's taken McCarthy even just

276
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 14: to cobble together this package. And even as this is

277
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 14: on the table, I understand that the House freed maccawk

278
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 14: is still trying to add on different measures that they

279
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 14: want to see on it, which may alienate some moderates.

280
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 14: So right now it's a somewhat loosely defined package of

281
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 14: about one hundred and thirty billion dollars of cuts in

282
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 14: federal spending, but again not clear on which agencies or

283
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 14: programs that would affect, particularly new work requirements on welfare programs,

284
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 14: blocking the student debt program, that cancelation program that Biden wants,

285
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 14: which the court may block anyway, and then a nu

286
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 14: most of their attack ons for permits for oil and gas.

287
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 14: So there's a lot in this. Again, I think it'll

288
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 14: be hard even for Mcartha to get it over the line.

289
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 14: But again it's very vague, and I think that's where

290
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 14: he's maybe hoping he can get people to sign on

291
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 14: because the details aren't all fleshed out.

292
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: Well, given that we don't have those of fully fleshed

293
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: out details, do you see a bigger risk that moderate

294
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: Republicans won't support this or some of the Freedom Caucus members.

295
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 14: It might be a little bit of both. I mean,

296
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 14: as you know, is kind of famously talked about now

297
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 14: the five families, so to speak. In the Caucus. There's

298
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 14: a lot of different interests at play. It's not even

299
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 14: just two sides that McCarthy is trying to balance between.

300
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 14: And because every vote is pretty much needed, there's a

301
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 14: lot of leverage for any one member or any small

302
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 14: group of members to really push for things for their district.

303
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 14: So I think there's going to be a lot of

304
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 14: deal making, so to speak, to try and get those

305
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 14: votes for McCarthy in these coming days. But again, at

306
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 14: the end of the day, the vote count doesn't really matter.

307
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 14: It's not really about the idea this would become legislation.

308
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 14: It's more is this a package that could start some

309
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 14: kind of negotiations and I think that back and forth

310
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 14: is going to continue a bit as the political brinkmanship

311
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 14: builds up.

312
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: Got about thirty seconds left here. Julie wall Street's been

313
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: pretty sanguine about the idea that the US would default

314
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: on its step up to now. Is this something that

315
