thanks for joining us. listen, president biden is hammering the gop calling them disgraceful for not helping to raise the debt ceiling but based on the gop that you know, do they have any intention to take this possible economic catastrophe seriously or would they rather see democrats fail and meaning the country will fail, as well? >> well, first of all, don, what joe biden is saying is absolutely correct. what the republicans are doing is risky and dangerous, it's completely irresponsible. mitch mcconnell is saying on the one hand that democrats should have to raise the debt ceiling by themselves and chuck schumer and skbrojoe biden are saying o we're willing to do that. can you at least not filibuster the measure and if we have up and down, democrats will get the debt ceiling lifted and mitch mcconnell saying no, no, no we'll filibuster it. the obvious solution is to carve out a new exception to the filibuster rules and go nuclear
