do we do this differently or stay locked into this you go next? it really depends. i do think it becomes sustainable for the white house to keep its position. you re going to have senators in the middle such as joe manchin saying president biden, there s a deficiency in leadership in refusal to talk with republicans. we can take lessons of the last nasty debt limit fight. we did reach the limit then, but it got chaotic. you had the first credit downgrade in history. it did rock the stock markets. things turned out okay in the end. democrats took the lessons from that debt limit fight in not wanting to negotiate, which is why you see the hard line stance come ing now from democrats in congress and the white house. republicans take the lesson that president obama negotiated with house republicans, so we need to do it now because we control the house is and we get a say too.
now. all right. christine, thank you. you re welcome. back in washington today the treasury department is implementing extraordinary measures so the u.s. doesn t default on its debt. but those temporary measures will only last through june 5th. the white house continues to insist it will not negotiate with republicans on spending cuts tied to raising the debt limit, but now some republicans from swing districts that president biden won are pushing back on that hard line stance. the white house had been hoping that maybe some of these republicans might be willing to play ball. lauren fox is on capitol hill. so where does that leave things, lauren? reporter: yeah, i mean, so far those republicans that the white house might have hoped would come and see their side of this debate are not getting there. in fact, they re telling our colleague manu raju that they think the white house is making a miscalculation when they say they are not going to be willing to negotiate on the debt
we are going to begin with the growing security concerns about tiktok and the push to crack down on that popular app. nearly a dozen states have already banned tiktok on government devices, and while they are all led by republican governors, people are starting to take notice just in general. the senate just passed a similar bill on the national level, and it got bipartisan support. still, some in the media are framing it only as a republican issue. republican lawmakers primarily are using tiktok as the face of the chinese government. to show to their constituents, which is very popular right now, to have a hard stance on china, to show to their constituents that they are taking this hard line stance, they are basically saying, we want to ban tiktok, using this as a vehicle to deliver that message to their base. harris: senator marco rubio trashed that reporting has misleading. he tweeted this. this isn t a g.o.p.-led tiktok
their constituents that they re taking this hard line stance, they re saying we want to ban tick tock and using this as a vehicle to deliver that message to their base. i guess the way you can sum it up, there s no real independent company in china right now. if the government wants access to data, they will get access to data headquartered in the country. this is something president trump tried to get rid of and he got a lot of pressure not to. we are so intermixed with china. i was talking to a tiktok source, someone familiar with them, and they were pointing out a lot of lawmakers are tweeting about a tiktok on their chinese-made apple iphones. it really shows how many businesses are reliant on china, and tiktok one of them caught up in the mix right now. it s part of the conversation we ve had about twitter. people saying you shouldn t be on twitter, it s a cesspool. tweet out those statements on twitter saying people should
especially political violence, it s actually coming from the right. we know what happened on january six. we know that they were not supporting law enforcement on that day. we know that they were not supporting law forsman when they decided to pass these crazy gun laws that they passed in states like texas, and we know that they have not taken that same hard-line stance against violence, as it relates to speaker pelosi and her husband. in fact, we saw so many of them go back on the campaign trail and continue with the rhetoric, the dangerous rhetoric. so if we really want to get to who is really the party of law and order, i don t think there is a question the fact that democrats are leading the way. former congressman rose, let me ask you as you try to reclaim or see the iran in 2018. it seems like a lifetime ago, in terms of where politics have evolved from, even though 2018 was contentious compared to what we are seeing now. how has the political rhetoric
