i respect the speaker of the house. i was sent here by the people of missouri to fight against the status quo. i m not going to support more of the same. we re pushing this off, $4 trillion more of spending coming down the road and potentially another omnibus leader this year or another in 2025 where they re pushing this off to. we have to deal with structural reform. we re spending too much money without the needed reform. that s why i m not supporting the bill in its form. trace: i m curious to where you come down on this. they said the following. this is the editorial board. some conservatives are grousing that the debt ceiling bill negotiated by kevin mccarthy has left president biden s legislation of the last two years largely intact. that s undeniable. we wonder what political planet these folks are occupying. most analysts say they agree. this thing is cutting spending. well, i would disagree with
you know, why aren t you out on the trail campaigning? some will say he s the sitting president. everything he does equates you have funding issues. the fact that he s out there making the case what he s gotten done, what he wants to get done, in some respect he s campaigning. you saw he laughed off our peter doocy as he sometimes does when peter is like when are you yo going to start doing campaign stuff in he will use surrogates. 2020 is one of those elections for the history books. we had covid. it s a different situation. he s four years older around will have to show people that he s got what it takes to do what i think is the toughest job in the world. trace: on the other side of the aisle, you have ron desantis and you have former president trump and there s punch and there s counter punch and you have desantis saying listen, i m trying to make the former president declare what his position is before polls come out to kind of guide him in what his position is or might be.
people in missouri sent me here for. trace: got it. you re on the record. thanks, senator. thanks, trace. trace: breaking now, explanation from the white house. they say he s fine. there was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands. so now we know why the president fell. everything apparently is okay. in moments general jack keane, charlie arnold and jonathan morris, former priest. first on the story, the warning from big retailers, costco and macy s about inflation and why the white house may not see it as a top priority. so we re talking about climate, a lot of action with china. you mentioned high prices. so what is the top priority overall?
Martha MacCallum brings the story of the times with her tough but fair interviews and straightforward analysis; The Story captures the voices that need to be.
see. the president pointing at the sandbag that he said he fell over. we re told he s fine and on his way back to washington. more breaking news. prince harry and meghan markle have nothing left to say. that s what one insider tells the british sun. the couple not planning any more tv shows or tell-off books. let s bring in royal recorder, neil sean who has covered the royal family for 20 years. harry and meghan say they re stepping away from the limelight. didn t they do that once when they moved to santa barbara? let me tell you quickly so everybody is loud and clear. it s all about deflection. this story is completely made up. you know, they have a deal with netflix. they re stepping away from making their content. the bottom line is, what harry and meghan would like us to do is to move on from the debacle that happened in your city, new york city. the night of the gold dress. you know, forget that.
