could put them in a damaging reputationally perspective but at worst, a legally incriminating position. sarah, thank you very much. we ll keep following it. fascinating. also this morning at the white house, they re standing by the demand they say house republicans need to raise the debt limit without any conditions. house republicans as we watched closely on capitol hill yesterday narrowly passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling. it cut spending. an effort to force president biden to the negotiating table. it s no the actually going to happen. senator schumer said it is dead on arrival in the senate. we re tracking all this live from the white house. good morning. you saw president biden in the rose garden yesterday saying he s not going to negotiate when it comes to the debt limit. what is the sense that the white house and what is happening next here? well, caitlyn, for the time being, the white house is holding firm in the position that president biden will will not negotia
how is this handled so badly now, we get to smartmatic. if i m a lawyer for oh, by the way, i said this yesterday, joyce, we were over steve rattner, ari emmanuel, myself and others were commemorating the 80th anniversary of the warsaw uprising. after a moving event, we were at dinner and this came up. we all, to a person, said, oh, this will never go to the jury they ll settle. the three of us around the table all said, it is going to settle between $700 million and $800 million. wow i say th i. i say that no to say we re smart, but every lawyer in america knew this, any who has ever been in litigation. here s the thing, joyce, they ve proven they re willing to pay $800 million did not have their brand completely destroyed by having their hosts get up on stand, get cross-examined and be destroyed reputationally
damaging to them reputationally, as well. the more there is a discovery process, another lawsuit, more information that could be public, the more damaging to their own personal brands this is, right? they are all apart and wrapped up in all of this, as well yes, i mean, all this is expose, as you said, joe, that they knowingly, not just tucker charlson, many people there, executives, leaders, mainstream reporters, knowingly shared inaccurate information with the public that is not good for their repu reputation the more we learn, we ll see what we learn, but it is not good for them either. you re right. you had people who were supposedly mainstream news reporters and had been described as such actually telling fox news not to call states accurately yeah. because it d hurt them with their audience. so brutal, so awesome who says that on election night. i don t know.
wilmington, delaware right now, i m about to be here for another six weeks just like the jurors are. and you know, he wants to see some type of demonstrations of responsibility and so i think that could be it, that dominion is really just saying, okay, fineof responsibility and so i think that could be it, that dominion is really just saying, okay, fine we ll put good faith effort toward talking about a deal even if we don t think there is one to be had but i really do believe that if this could have been settled, it would have been settled months ago. yeah, and strategically legal and reputationally, that would have made the most sense we ve already seen all their dirty laundry, their hatred for trump and hatred for their decision desk. we ve seen hatred for their own fact checkers. and he also worked to get them fired. i want to focus everyone on the substance of the defamation case
this is also about joe biden. this isn t aqu a coincidence. the biden family received payments from a chinese energy company into you know, spread across the family members so as to avoid taxes and detection. so you have joe biden, you know, in the middle of all this circus, right? he s not getting asked questions. he s asked about it and he says it s a lie. it s not a lie. there s documents proving it. i look at the situation, and i don t really care that a former president by the way, pretty tough on china was getting payments from a porn star, this dangerous time we re in. china is ascending. we re on the decline financially, reputationally. we have a president in office right now who received payments from the chinese government, who s compromised. they want the circus, because they re not having to ask the questions they need to be asked. rachel, i couldn t agree with
