go and how much he will go in demanding congress move to say avert a debt default, one of the big issues outstanding this congress. one in which the house republicans and the white house must resolve their differences to avoid a potential cevent to the economy and talking about all the issues surrounding the global security around the world, choir these spy balloon, the president expected to address the threat from china as well. a lot of questions about the president s tone and house republicans plan to showcase what they believe is a reasonable opposition, sit there, listen to the president, act respectfully as republicans are planning to battle back on things that they believe simply have no chance of passing this congress, jake. yeah, act respectfully is an interesting point. they are leaking and telling reporters mccarthy gave a warning to house republicans to behave during the speech. tell us about that. reporter: yeah, behind closed doors in the house republican co
pictures of very national security assets throughout the country. it just i think overall it looks weak to me. what do you want to hear from president biden on the matter, on the subject of foreign affairs today? i know that s probably like a 50,000 page book you can write right now. what are some subjects? do you want to hear him talk about the spy balloon and support ukraine, which is important to you? yeah, ukraine is important. i know one section of the speech will be about what can we do bipartisan to get things through congress? i do think china particularly after the spy balloon galvanizes reinforces the american people s support to do something about it. so i do think particularly with the vote on the select committee on china, we can really pass bills, legislation that are geared towards china s aggression in a bipartisan manner. i met with my ranking member
record or off. not unlike the president off the record so he could speak candidly but generally speaking, what he wanted to convey is despite what we have seen over the past two years, despite what we saw at the beginning of this year, he wants to convey a sense of respect and respectfulness for the presidency and for this particular president, for president biden. he was talking to his conference about how they should remember that they re on camera. well, he s going to have the biggest brightest camera on him because he ll be behind the president. so that is what he is trying to convey and it will be what he will be doing tonight with his body language, also, what he is saying privately. did he actually send that message to a republican caucus given the fact that speaker many k car mccarthy was out there lying about having won the 2020 election, signing onto the crazy
this. we just don t know. so, obviously, the biden administration as any administration would in its place is trying to spin this like now we got all this information. we re able to study them. we have the debris, et cetera, et cetera. moving the politics out of it and how you disagree with how the biden administration handled it, is this ultimately embarrassing for china? did president xi embarrass himself with this or is it actually like a demonstration of strength do you think? depends on the point of view. i think china views it as weakness that we allow weakness, yeah. that s what he was testing. we allowed it to traverse across the country. i think administration is going to have their spin on this. i applaud them for shooting it down. the other day, i think the american people is a true judge here. how do they view it? they view how could i mean, it s a spy balloon so low in altitude you can see it with the naked eye and we re allowed to go across the country takin
also, just right, even if you don t like it. absolutely. absolutely. so reiterating some of that. of course, by definition what we re talking about, it is going to be different because he s going to have to acknowledge that there is at least in part divided government and he can t push anything through with democratic control before because the margins were so thin, it s harder now. although, we re told president biden is going to be pushing what his aides are calling a unity agenda that there could be bipartisan support for. combatting the opioid pandemic. i guess a question i would have would be it s easy to want to be bipartisan if you re in the minority party and this is the only way to get a victory but what if you re in the majority party? will there be the same appetite? when he points out the issues and first lady jill biden s guests will highlight the issues with the people she s bringing to the address but i think, you
