jean-pierre, and john kirby as the irs continues to stay silent amid growing questions over why the agency made a surprise visit to twitter files journalist matt taibbi s home, the same day he was testifying before congress on the weaponization of the federal government. john: house republicans are demanding answers over the unannounced house call and whether biden s beefed up irs will target democrats political opponent. is the agency being weaponized? here to weigh in coming up. we are probably not going to be able to do anything to stop, slow down, disrupt, interdict or destroy the chinese nuclear development program. i have a hard time seeing where we are. please tell us what we are going to do with this threat that s at our doorstep. we are interested in investing in the right capabilities that will support the war fighting concepts. can you look us in the eye today and say the dei strengthened the military or weakened it. sandra: our nation s top military l
kevin mccarthy wants biden to go back to the negotiating table. the president says show me your budget first. will they come first before the country defaults on its debts. that s a big question, plus this. maybe it s a coincidence the irs happened to visit matt taibbi on the day he was testifying about the weaponization of the federal government or maybe somebody was trying to send a message. john: irs staying silent over how often they send agents to people s homes after journalist matt taibbi says he went to his house while he was testifying at congress. is the agency used to go against political opponents. the right to apply for a va home loan. a va home loan is unique. it s different than other loans because it allows you to borrow up to 100% of the home s value. that extra borrowing power may allow you to pay down debt lower your monthly payments, put cash in the bank, and give you the peace of mind
signed into law and president joe biden when he was a senator voted for, essentially tightening some of the worker programs as well there. and so i think those are bipartisan solutions. no one is talking about cutting social security, no one is talking about cutting medicaid. when you have 6.5% inflation, 30 trillion in debt, it s been done before, 13 times since 1985 in a bipartisan fashion, tried to attach fiscal reforms to the debt limit so i think it will get paid, it will get raised, we have months to do this here and i think it will get done. but there s no doubt we need to fix some of those problems with debt and inflation. sandra: just compare what we put on the screen as far as mccarthy s spending proposal, and look at the breakdown of biden s budget. tax increases, sky high inflation, looking at 4.957 trillion in tax increases, clean energy projects,
and i ve been saying this for 15 years whether president obama is president or president trump. the debt ceiling, you have to pay for, things we have already spent. credit card comes due, you pay for it.enter with that respect we have to pay for the debt ceiling and cannot put the full faith and credit of the united states. sandra: i m going to write it down, have to? it s a must, and it s going to pass whether kevin mccarthy and biden sit together or don t, there will be at least five republicans in the house that will pass the debt ceiling. so i don t think that s a question. sandra: tell people why they should care, how will it affect them? it affects them, the debt ceiling impacts them, we owe each and every day, north of 30 trillion. interest is eventually the burden of the taxpayers. sandra: if we didn t meet our obligations we would significantly lower our credibility on the world stage. you can t do it. we are the full faith and credit of the world.
4.5 billion, on defense, 885 billion, social security 1.4 on down. that looks a little different than what we are seeing proposed by president biden kevin mccarthy. i want to reply to garrett. we meet the moment trying to reduce the budget. one, you can t just look at nondiscretionary defense because to get a balanced budget you have to cut 85% over the next ten years. we know that s never going to happen. with respect to the president s plan, i mean listen, it s clear that that is a wish list. sandra: before you guys go, i want to get you both on the record, irs is still staying silent on the timing of the visit to journalist matt taibbi s home. how often does it make house calls? could this be a coincidence or something else going on? i think it s unconscionable. i would like to know why someone went to system one s house. i ve been audited four times, if
