He tells 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: Bloomberg he thinks the Senate and President are ignoring the 24 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 2: issue while a Republicans want to raise the debt ceiling 25 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: and cut spending. 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 6: We help the supply chain. 27 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 7: We we pill eighty seven thousand IRS agents, We make 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 7: America energy independent.

I don't think that's radical. 30 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 7: They haven't done anything on the debt ceiling, and the 31 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 7: President has ignored this problem. He's actually putting the economy 32 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 7: of America in jeopardy. 33 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: Senate Democrats have declared McCarthy's bill dead on arrival. President 34 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: Biden and Congressional Democrats oppose the measure because it attaches 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: sweeping spending cuts as a condition for raising the debt ceiling. 36 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: Stay tuned for our complete extended interview with Speaker McCarthy 37 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: coming up shortly on Bloomberg Daybreak. 38 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: Meantime, maybe there's concern among Democrats that President Biden's reelection 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: announcement is not exciting voters. The President's campaign reports not 40 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: raising much money following the Tuesday announcement, and Bloombery Scott 41 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: Carr has more from Washington. 42 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 8: Sources close to the campaign say the sluggish fundraising comes 43 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 8: primarily from a lack of outreach to major donors who 44 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 8: can boost early totals by making large contributions to the 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 8: Democratic Party. They say ultimately Biden will have no trouble 46 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 8: raising money, but that the campaign had planned to release 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 8: fundraising totals after forty eight hours with the hope of 48 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 8: generating some excitement and now may have to wait. On 49 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 8: the Republican side, many major donors have decided to withhold 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 8: contributions until it's apparent a clear challenger emerges to Donald 51 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 8: Trump in Washington.

Penn spent several hours before the grand jury 60 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 9: being used by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Also of significance 61 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 9: is the swiftness in which it took place, so fast 62 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 9: after Trump lost his bid to have Pen's appearance blocked 63 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 9: and before his team had the chance to file for 64 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 9: the Supreme Court.

First 76 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 10: Republic was on the brink of collapse last month when 77 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 10: other regional banks suddenly employed a coalition of large firms 78 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 10: port thirty billion dollars into the struggling lender to keep 79 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 10: it afloat live in New York.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 211 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: Good morning, I Amy Morris. Let's get more of that 212 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: interview now. With Kevin McCarthy facing a fractured caucus, the 213 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 2: House Speaker secured a successful vote on his debt sealing proposal. 214 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 2: Its passage puts pressure on President Biden and Democrats to 215 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 2: get a deal done and avoid a US default, And 216 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: now McCarthy's accusing President Biden of purposefully putting the economy 217 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: at risk. The President, for his part, says he would 218 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: veto with the Republican bill. 219 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 14: Happy to me with McCarthy, but not on whether or 220 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 14: not the debt limit gets extended. 221 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 10: More of them, that's not negotiable. 222 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: President Biden is calling for negotiations, but McCarthy says the 223 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: President and Democrats can avoid a debt sealing crisis by 224 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 2: embracing the Republican plan. The House Speaker sat down with 225 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's and Marie Hordern to discuss this all late yesterday. 226 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 2: He says the Democrat controlled Senate has nothing, has done 227 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: nothing to avoid a debt sealing crisis, and accuses the 228 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: President of ignoring the problem. Let's bring you that conversation 229 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: right now. 230 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 15: Many people doubted you were going to be able to 231 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 15: get this bill passed through the floor. 232 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: You prove them wrong. 233 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 15: You successfully got it through the floor two hundred and 234 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 15: seventeen voting in favor of you. President Biden, though, says 235 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 15: he's only going to meet with you if you separate 236 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 15: the fiscal spending cuts the budget with the debt ceiling. 237 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 6: So what comes next, Well, I. 238 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 7: Don't know because it was eighty five days ago. I 239 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 7: sat down with the President February first, talking about finding 240 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 7: a sensible, responsible way to raise the debt limit and 241 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 7: make us less dependent on China, curve inflation, and bring 242 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 7: growth to this economy. And that's exactly what we just did. 243 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 7: The President then said he wasn't going to meet with 244 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 7: me until we showed him a plan. So then I 245 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 7: showed him a plan and then we passed it. You know, 246 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 7: the way government works is the House passes the bill, 247 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 7: the Senate passes a bill, and then you conference together 248 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 7: and the President can sign decide whether he signs it 249 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 7: or not. The challenge here is the Senate's done nothing. 250 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 7: But I shouldn't be rude. They did name March Maine 251 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 7: maple syrup mon. They did get that done, but they 252 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 7: haven't done anything on the debt sitting, and the President 253 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 7: has ignored this problem. He's actually putting the economy of 254 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 7: America in jeopardy by not doing anything. Because only the 255 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 7: House has raised the debt limit, passed the bill to 256 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 7: do that and at the same time grow the economy. 257 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 6: And we did it with ideas that he has voted 258 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 6: for work requirements. He voted for that as a Senator. 259 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 7: But more importantly, just a couple months ago in Wisconsin 260 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 7: it passed with eighty two percent of the vote to 261 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 7: limit our growth in the future so government doesn't get 262 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 7: out of control. Well, that's an idea from Joe Manchin. 263 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 7: We help the supply chain, We pill eighty seven thousand 264 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 7: IRS agents, We make America energy independent, We cut the 265 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 7: red tape so we could build things again in America. 266 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: I don't think that's radical. 267 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 7: And the words that are coming out of the White 268 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 7: House that we are going to melt children's bones, we're 269 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,359 Speaker 7: going to create asthma. 270 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 6: There's nothing in the bill that does that. 271 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 7: It actually protects veterans, protects our military, makes his cur 272 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 7: of inflation, but keeps us a stronger pace for the future. 273 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 15: So Biden didn't say, though, show me a plan. He said, 274 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 15: show me a budget. This is just a proposal, but 275 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 15: it's not exactly a budget. But he is signaling an 276 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 15: openness if these two were separated. So why not just 277 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 15: pass a debt ceilings? This is what Congress is scheduled 278 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 15: to do and has to do for the full faith 279 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 15: and credit of the United States. 280 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 6: And then at the same time have. 281 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 15: Those negotiations regarding a budget for. 282 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 6: The fiscal year. 283 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 7: Okay, well, let me just clarify to your viewers so 284 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 7: they don't get mixed up like you did. A budget 285 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 7: has nothing to do with the debt ceiling. And so 286 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 7: you said we should pass a debt increasing a debt ceiling. 287 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 6: That's what we did yesterday. 288 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 7: We increase the debt ceiling by one point five trillion 289 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 7: that goes into the next year. We also helped grow 290 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 7: the economy, curve inflation, and make savings. So we did 291 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 7: everything everybody requested of And what people really need to 292 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 7: look to is the president has done nothing. He's ignored 293 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 7: it for eighty five days. And if you wonder, has 294 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 7: this ever been combined together? 295 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 6: Yeah? Has the president ever voted for that? Yeah? 296 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 7: He voted for it for four times. And the four 297 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 7: times he voted against the debt ceiling, you know why 298 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 7: he said he did because he wanted to see more 299 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 7: fiscal changes without he didn't want to vote for clean 300 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 7: debt ceiling. Every single time we move forward on the 301 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 7: debt ceiling, last time, Nancy Pelosi said she wouldn't raise 302 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 7: the debt ceiling without the economics the spending decided upon. 303 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 7: We watched Chuck Schumer say the leverage all he has 304 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 7: is to deal with the debt ceiling. So I don't 305 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 7: know why they're changing everything now. The debt ceiling negotiations 306 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 7: in twenty eleven were. 307 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 6: Called the Biden talks. 308 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 7: Biden ridiculed anybody who wouldn't sit down to negotiate. So 309 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 7: I'm not sure if he can't remember what he did 310 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 7: in the past or what he said in the past. 311 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 6: But the one thing I do know for history is 312 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 6: we have never defaulted. 313 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 7: And the House is the only place that has taken 314 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 7: in action to already raise the debt ceiling through the 315 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 7: House and actually put an economic plan that has savings. 316 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 7: We're at thirty two trillion dollars in debt. That's bigger 317 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 7: than our entire economy, twenty percent bigger. The current Congressional 318 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 7: Budget Office says we're going to pay ten point five 319 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 7: trillion dollars just an interest in the next ten years. 320 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 7: But compare that to what we paid since nineteen. 321 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 6: Forty till today, eighty three. 322 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 7: Years, only nine trillion if we continue down this path 323 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 7: for the first time in the history of a ten 324 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 7: year window of any president, Transportation, Medicare. 325 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 6: And Social Security go in solve it. 326 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 7: So he's actually cutting those programs and just sitting there 327 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 7: ignoring it, treating it like he treats the border, ignoring it. 328 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 6: Think it'll go away. It will not go away. 329 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 15: So you want these two issues to be congruent with 330 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 15: each other, and you want budget talks to go alongside 331 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 15: raising the debt ceiling with the White House wants a 332 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 15: separate discussions. But Congressman Ralph Norman told Political Playbook that, 333 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 15: in a bid to win all your conferences, support that 334 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 15: you promised serves that the debt ceiling bill they voted 335 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 15: on yesterday was a floor, not a ceiling, and that 336 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 15: you would personally oppose a fight against any debt sealing 337 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 15: agreement that does not include all of the red meat 338 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 15: provisions in the House bill. If this is the floor, 339 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 15: where is there going to be even room for compromise 340 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 15: between you and the White House? 341 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 7: You know what I'm taking exactly what Nancy Pelosi said 342 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 7: as the last speaker, that the just a debt sealing 343 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 7: vote cannot pass the floor without dealing with the budget. 344 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 7: We are at a thirty two trillion dollar deficit. When 345 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 7: are we ever going to take this up? The Democrats 346 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 7: had added six trillion dollars. The President wants to spend 347 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 7: more money than he spent during COVID. 348 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 6: So let me ask you this. 349 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 7: To the American public, more than seventy percent believe we 350 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 7: should sit down to negotiate. That's the design of government. 351 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 7: But should we actually save money too? Is there nowhere 352 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 7: in government that you could save money? What about the 353 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 7: billions of dollars that have already been appropriated for the pandemic. 354 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 7: The President signed a bill this year that the pandemic 355 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 7: has ended. If this money has dormant for two years 356 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 7: and not spent during the pandemic, why should we spend 357 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 7: it now? That's the hard working taxpayers money. Why wouldn't 358 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 7: you call that back? We have a supply chain problem, 359 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 7: So why wouldn't we help people get jobs? What work 360 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 7: requirements actually do for those who are able body with 361 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 7: no dependents, something the president had voted for before. 362 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 6: Why don't we protect so we don't. 363 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 7: Have inflation in the future and actually curve how much 364 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 7: government can grow by It grew by thirty percent under 365 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 7: the Democrat control, so we cap it at one percent. 366 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 7: That's an idea of Joe Manchin, a Senator and a Democrat. 367 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 7: Did you see what Joe Manchin said today? He said, 368 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 7: if the President does not sit down and negotiate with 369 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 7: the speaker myself, that the American public will blame him 370 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 7: for the first historical default. 371 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 6: In American history. 372 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 7: And that's exactly what has the last eighty five days. 373 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 15: Yes, and he also talked about a common sense compromise. 374 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 15: So your question to you, if there was a compromise, 375 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 15: do you think you're going to have the unity in 376 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 15: your caucus that you were able to receive last night. 377 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 7: You know, that's a great question because that's the same 378 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 7: question I had all week whether I could pass this bill. 379 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 7: You know what happens with a compromise. We can get 380 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 7: something together. It's what I sat down with the president 381 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 7: the very beginning in February. 382 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 6: First, I said, mister. 383 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 7: President, why don't we sit down and work through it. 384 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 7: There's two things that I will not do, mister President. 385 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 7: I will not raise taxes and we will not pass 386 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 7: a clean debt sealing. But we can talk about everything else. 387 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 7: We could spend less money, we could secure our border. 388 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 7: We can make ourselves energy independence so we make more jobs. 389 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 7: We could do work requirements, we could claw back COVID money. 390 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 7: All of that could save, and we could try to 391 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 7: come to an agreement. The only way that you can 392 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 7: come to an agreement is if the other side has 393 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 7: any ideas. I produced our plan, we prove we can 394 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 7: pass it. 395 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 6: Show me what yours is. 396 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 7: The Senate has done nothing, the President has done nothing, 397 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 7: So tell me where is their compromise. 398 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 6: We're the only people. 399 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 7: That have passed a bill that will raise the debt 400 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 7: limit so we won't have economic and a default. 401 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 6: The President has not, so I'm not quite sure what 402 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 6: he's doing. 403 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 15: Well, the President did put out a budget, and he 404 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 15: has said that he was waiting for the Republican budget. 405 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 15: But I do agree with you in the sense that 406 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 15: this is an opening salvo of these negotiations, since you 407 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 15: were able to pass this plan. I'm guessing the White 408 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 15: but understand reaching out because I saw their statements. I 409 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 15: just want to quickly ask you, though, because at some 410 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 15: point the Senate, well they're not going to they say 411 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 15: it's debt on arrival. But what do you make of 412 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 15: Mitch McConnell, your colleague in the Senate Minority leader. He 413 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 15: has really deferred this to you. What kind of role 414 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 15: do you think he can play in these negotiations? 415 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 7: Okay, but before I answer that, we have to clarify. 416 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 7: You have said something twice about a budget. Okay, you 417 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 7: have to understand this is not a state capital. When 418 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 7: we pass a budget in the House, it never goes 419 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 7: to the president. A budget resolution is not binding. You 420 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 7: can pass a budget, but it doesn't raise the debt limit. 421 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 7: So don't confuse a budget with a debt. We are 422 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 7: coming up on a debt limit here in June or July. 423 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 7: That's where the default raises. So what the House did 424 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 7: was the action to deal with the debt limit. We 425 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 7: produced a plan that would limit save and grow. Now 426 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 7: to your other question about Mitch McConnell. The Senate Republicans, 427 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 7: they are saying the exact same thing. They support our plan. 428 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 7: They're telling Schumer, why don't you produce something. They're telling 429 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 7: the President that he needs to sit down and negotiate. 430 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 7: That's what the majority of America is saying. America believes regardless, 431 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 7: it doesn't matter what party you're in, you should sit 432 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 7: down find common ground, come back with a responsible plan 433 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 7: that could put our economy back on the right track, 434 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 7: curve inflation, make us less dependent on China, secure and 435 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 7: protect Medicare and social Security, and raise the debt limit. 436 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 7: That's what we've done in the House, and that's what 437 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 7: I'd like to talk to the President about. 438 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 15: You mentioned medicaid. I know that this bill also accelerates 439 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 15: some provisions to next year instead of twenty twenty five 440 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 15: in access to medicaid. And I'm sure you've seen the 441 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 15: ads the former President Trump is running now against Ron 442 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 15: de Santis. President Donald Trump is saying that he wants 443 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 15: to keep Medicare and social Security and he's going after 444 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 15: Ron DeSantis and what he said in the past on that. 445 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 15: Do you think, given this bill does touch medicaid in 446 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 15: some respects, the House Republicans are going against the leader 447 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 15: of the party. 448 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 7: Okay, again, I don't want to correct you, but you 449 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 7: said two different things here. Okay, you talked about medicaid, 450 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 7: Medicare and Social Security. 451 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 6: Those are three different things in our bill. 452 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 7: It doesn't It only protects Medicare and Social Security. Currently, 453 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 7: the President would cut it by doing nothing medicaid. 454 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 6: All we do is in Medicaid. 455 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 7: If you are able body and you have no dependence, 456 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 7: it could as a work requirement. Now, what does that 457 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 7: actually mean? Twenty hours? That means you could go to 458 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 7: school for twenty hours. That just means you're looking for 459 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 7: a job. It helps you that we find every satistical 460 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 7: point in the past. 461 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 6: It puts more people to work. 462 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 7: This is the exact same thing that Wisconsin just a 463 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 7: month ago had an election statewide where the Democrats were 464 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 7: very successful. They overtook the Supreme Court, and on the 465 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 7: ballot there was a work requirement for Medicaid. It's paid 466 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 7: half by the state and half by the federal government. 467 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 7: You have an f map not exactly equal there. But 468 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 7: what it does is it passed by eighty two percent 469 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 7: of the vote. So you know what's interesting here is 470 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 7: this is what passed and was signed in the law 471 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 7: with Senator Biden then with President Clinton. So yes, we 472 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 7: think this helps people to move them into the workforce, 473 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 7: help the supply chain, and you know what happens when 474 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 7: they get that job, they're paying into Medicare and Social Security. 475 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 6: Those were the two. 476 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 7: Things that President Trump was talking about, and so our 477 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 7: plan actually strengthens those What President Biden is doing is 478 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 7: automatically cutting those because they come in solvent if his 479 00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 7: budget is put in place. 480 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 15: I want to quickly ask you about something else that's 481 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 15: circulating today. Russia TV has been airing this video of 482 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 15: the Fed Chair Jay Powell, who he thinks in the 483 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 15: moment he's talking to President Zelenski, but it's actually his 484 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 15: Russian pranksters. There's been a long list of foreign officials 485 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 15: and politicians that these pranksters have gone after. You are 486 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 15: the Speaker of the House. I'm curious, have you ever 487 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 15: been approached by these individuals. Have they've ever gotten an 488 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 15: invitation to maybe sit down with a Zelenski or someone 489 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 15: from the Ukrainian government. 490 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 7: Now I haven't sat down with real Zelenski, but I 491 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 7: have had the pranksters try to get me, and they 492 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 7: did not.
