sources, a tenet of agreement has been reached between a public and leadership and the white house on a debt ceiling deal. the contours of the agreement will be relayed to gop members on an all-member call happening later this hour. and in just a few moments, we will hear from speaker kevin mccarthy we will bring those remarks to you live when they occur. joining me now, shermichael singleton, and host of the shermichael show on sirius xm. jonathan alter, and nbc and msnbc contributor, and ashley pratte oates. and nbc thank contributor and political strategist. while everybody. welcome to the hardest moment you could possibly be welcome to. this is a crazy moment, jonathan. what do you expect to hear from the speaker when he gets in front of those microphones after what has been at times a contentious row with the white house over this debt ceiling plan? look, we don t know for sure what he s going to say. but you can expect him to spin this in a way that seems like they go
