administration since day one. laura: irregular migration. that reminds me of when they told us that inflation was transitory. this is all happy talk, no actual facts to back any of it up. here to ask no questions, by the way, just believe the empty promises. i give you my word these are feelings of comedy promising that joe would solve all of their problems, not only and the dust bowl and heal the economy, but he would cure acne and car sickness as well. laura: now remember that joe promises that soon you will see and feel all the magic of his runaway spending, by the way, agreed to by key senate republicans, biden is saying
catastrophe. you have seven people, we had 20, maybe 10, now 7 who are willing to take us to the brink for three days, there is a very real question that david is putting on the table in terms of what is actually in this deal and we know that there are at least seven people who are perfectly willing to take us to david, let me finish, who are perfectly willing to let us go to the very brink of destruction, again, as you said, only for their own gain. a lot of people think we are on the brink of destruction and catastrophe with the debt limit spending, runaway spending and continue to raise the debt ceiling. they didn t think that during four years of the trump administration. he added more than anybody. i m not arguing. there is a contingent here in america that finds that equally repugnant as raising the debt ceiling. how likely is it in the next round assuming that they continue to vote, is there enough time to move some of these seven who remain?
all comes back down to we have a major concern with runaway spending. and kevin mccarthy has been in leadership when republicans were in control and the majority of congress. and we were able to reduce discretionary spending, and the rules package that he negotiated in good faith that we had ready to go if he is the speaker disappoint. we have the best opportunity to get mandatory spending under control too. those are the things we want to happen. we have to be able to implement our agenda. the thing, you would have to get some of these 20 republicans to change their point of view. they have shown absolutely no indication of doing that. so you re right. you have the vast majority of republicans supportling mccarthy. all of those things are true, but they re not enough. do you have any indication that there is anything else that can be done, or is there a point where you will say all right, i wish it were mccarthy. it should have been mccarthy, but i ll go for, save, steve scalise.
here is kentucky congressman james comer. he shared his plans. listen. the one thing we can do in a divided congress is put the brakes on runaway spending. what i want to do as the next chairman of the house oversight committee is identify waste, fraud, misuse, mismanagement, and corruption within the government, and hold people accountable and tried to do something about it to reduce spending, to try to get inflation in check. anita: jacqui heinrich is live in christian said st. croix where the president spent his holiday vacation. he s going to come back and take a photo with mitch mcconnell. that should be an interesting photo. no kidding, anita. there are reports that the president s 2023 focus will shift to highlighting laws he said in the first half of his term, including semiconductor manufacturing under the chips act, also upcoming cost savings on things like prescription drugs from the inflation reduction act.
