things of what happen in texas also some of the allegations there, it s going to be interesting in just a few weeks during that trial. indeed. thank you, my friend and thanks to you at home for joining us this evening. for the past several months we have watched the far right wing of the republican party hold the u.s. hostage far right republicans in congress demanded major concessions from the biden house or else it would blow up the pretty fragile u.s. economy, they would tank the stock market and push hundreds of thousands of people onto the unemployment so potential catastrophe of their own making. and now there s a deal on the table to stop that catastrophe from actually coming to pass. over the weekend president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy hammered out an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and avoid default. and republicans, they got some of what they wanted in this deal. itd claws back unspent covid relief funds. it creates new hurdles for some people
relief funds. it creates new hurdles for some people who are trying to access food assistance and other federal programs, and it cuts funding from thean biden administration s plan to go after rich tax cheats and make them pay the taxes that they owe. but perhaps unsurprisingly none of that was enough for the far right wing in congress that demanded the standoff in the very first place. absolutely and completely unacceptable. trillions and trillions of dollars in debt. you re out there watching this,wa everyone of my colleagu be very clear, not one republican should vote for this deal. s it is a bad deal. i thought the last wasn t good enough. i had nogo idea, had no idea th we would see a plan as ephemerar and as malodious as this plan. this deal fails, fails
