Irwin joining us with. And kay la, i will start you with. At the windy white house there, as it relates to what were hearing from the Treasury Secretary, and from cnbc language, to Plain English here, what it means. Well, its significant because the Treasury Secretary is saying that as of early june, the federal government wont be able to pay its bills anymore. Its allowed by congress to borrow up to 31 trillion and change, but its going to hit that number next thursday. After that point, treasury is going to be looking under couch cushions to try to finds some additional money. It will be pinching pennies. And it says it will stop contributing or investing into some federal workers retirement accounts, to try to conserve some of that cash in order to avoid reaching that debt limit, or not being able to pay for allies and adversaries that hold the u. S. Debt. So certainly the Treasury Secretary is trying to call on congress and say we need a deal in the coming months. I spoke to a seni
irwin joining us with. and kay la, i will start you with. at the windy white house there, as it relates to what we re hearing from the treasury secretary, and from cnbc language, to plain english here, what it means. well, it s significant because the treasury secretary is saying that as of early june, the federal government won t be able to pay its bills anymore. it s allowed by congress to borrow up to $31 trillion and change, but it s going to hit that number next thursday. after that point, treasury is going to be looking under couch cushions to try to finds some additional money. it will be pinching pennies. and it says it will stop contributing or investing into some federal workers retirement accounts, to try to conserve some of that cash in order to avoid reaching that debt limit, or not being able to pay for allies and adversaries that hold the u.s. debt. so certainly the treasury secretary is trying to call on congress and say we need a deal in the coming months.
or at least the shocking claims that vladimir putin met with the man who led the armed revolt against russia. and he met with him five days after the aborted insurrection. the kremlin claims that he held a three-hour meeting with yevgeny prigozhin, and other members of the wagner group and discussed, quote, for their employment options. for their employment options for the man who was marching troops, at least for a time, towards moscow. what kind of employment options were available for someone whose troops shot down russian helicopters and shook the foundations of putin s 20-year grip on power? what would that job listing look like? seeking middle aged men with experiencing global missionary war, treason and catering. must love dogs and have no commitments that require being alive. that last point gets the central question surrounding prigozhin at this moment. why exactly is he alive. the idea of a meeting after the revolt suggested that the
we haven t seen for goshen in i can t remember how long ago. it is entirely, it would make sense that he wouldn t be alive anymore based on all of the things that you went through in the lead up to this, all of which is true. we don t even know if the meeting have been between prigozhin and putin in with his closest friends we just don t know but i can tell you one of the reasons that they re saying things like the meeting happened and they re saying the type of things that they re sending is because they re worried about him. they re very worried about it. and there s two distinct roots from people who are concerned that they re worried about. and so the russian population, and it s these millions that surround putin. the russian population is why you re seeing things like, yes, they met, everything is fine, you hear good things about it as a plan but they re worried that progression might actually have a grip on some of how russians might feel about the war. that concerns them and
seizing of russian city and marching towards moscow thing is somehow water under the bridge. putin doesn t seem like much of a water under the bridge kind of guy. he seems more like a throw you from the bridge kind of guy. that is, if there s no window available. there is actually a word that has come to symbolize thisype of activity in russia. deepinish station. a deep port for puzzles. a sinister word for survival and things like that. it describes the action, fallen as a surprising of rsians plummeting mysteriously from open windows. this happened to all kinds of people. so why not the guy who tried to fomented uprising. how long can prigozhin live in a windowless world? or maybe he has it. what do we know for sure about the itinerary since he relented? first we were told they want to belarus, the we were told it wasn t st. petersburg, now we re told there was a side trip at putin s place. we were told he went to all those places.
