[ laughing ] democrats are taking rude, crude, and shouty congresswoman marjorie taylor greene s calls for decorum in the house as seriously as the republicans seem to be taking the threat to our economy with their manufactured debt ceiling crisis. but i m guessing our veterans and social security recipients are not laughing. plus, the longest january 6th sentence so far as oath keepers leader stewart rhodes gets 18 years for seditious conspiracy. and later, ron desantis disastrous campaign rollout leads to speculation that pudding may have been clogging up the twitter tubes. yuck. but we begin with the republican lie that could plunge our nation off of an economic cliff. with just seven days until the united states could default on our debt, talks between republicans and white house representatives have yet to resolve the issue. but today, president biden made a very important point. it s time for congress to act now. i want to be clear. the negotiations we re havin
