the two sides far apart. the president as you heard is not eager to tie anything like spending to the talks. anything can and usually has happened. doesn t gerry baker know it from the wall street journal. kind enough to join us. gerry, this is mitch mcconnell s way of saying it starts and really depends on what the president and the speaker do. as you know right now, they re nowhere close to some sort of an ground on how to proceed. right, neil. you re absolutely right. thanks again. we re in to once again here towards politics, which is this is all about really. both sides know very well, the president knows very, very well that the kevin mccarthy has a significant number of his house members and a significant number of senate republicans, too, who are not willing to simple give the government, give the
emergency is scheduled to end may 11th, the payment pause on student loan payments does not begin back up until the end of june even though the emergency is ending in the middle of may and that s if the biden administration does not decide to extend that pause yet again. neil? thank you for that, hillary. i think. hillary vaughn in washington. meantime, this back and forth especially occurring as it does and we re against the debt ceiling, mitch mcconnell weighing in on this and a lot of this has to be resolved at the house level. take a look. the deal has to be cut obviously between the house majority and the democratic president in order to have a chance to survive over here. so we re all behind kevin and wishing him well. neil: mitch mcconnell referring to kevin mccarthy who will be meeting with then t of the united states tomorrow. we re against that debt ceiling.
a few months. for the other whales, they haven t not received those yet. trace: thanks, alexis live in new york. al alexis, thank you. that is the story of tuesday, january 31. i will see you at midnight on the east coast, 9:00 p.m. on the west. fox news at night. your world now. we ve had the first round. now the democrats are doing their questioning and they get an hour. we had an hour and they get an hour and we ll come back in an hour and i ll have more. what is the big take-away so far? i ll wait till it s all over with. neil: still waiting for the low-down on the sit-down. members of the house oversight committee meeting with the top national archives official as they try to get to the bottom of the classified documents that had been found at president
when it comes to the trump and the biden documents. watch. the documents about president trump and his classified documents and mar-a-largo, yet when it comes to president biden and all of his classified documents, ranging back from when he was vice president and a senator, they have produced zero documents and have zero websites dedicated to that issue. so there s a clear difference. so that is what we are hearing so far from this closed door hearing. oversight chairman james comer has a lot of questions that he has likely already asked in the first round of questioning. for example, why nara did not tell the public about the documents that they found at president biden s personal office before the mid-term election. that s a big one. and this, of course, as fox news contributor can now confirm that fbi agents started searching the penn biden center sometime in
one of the things i d like to know, is there a political tinge to what they do. we see a different approach in the trump documents versus the biden documents. 1 question i d like to know, at least an answer i d like to know is were they the catalyst for the biden documents search in the first place. trace: interesting. yeah. we don t know. so much why don t know. thanks, chris swecker. those of you wondering what s going on here, this is outside the oversight committee meeting with the national archives chief counsel. just trying to see who knew what and when and the complete range of documents that are missing and/or gotten to be part of this multi-document investigation concerning not only this president but former president trump and former vice president mike pence. so much we don t know. this much we do, both sides are getting angry about the slow drip drip revelations that come to light including just a few minutes ago democratic senator
