house. the country is now just ten days out from a potentially historic default on its debt. joe biden and kevin mccarthy is still not reached a deal that would break this over the debt limit. tonight, they did meet one-on-one in the oval office, hours after the treasury secretary janet yellen issued a another stark warning. yellen says it is, quote, highly likely the treasury were no longer be able to satisfy all the governments obligations if there is no resolution by june 1st, meaning we cannot pay our bills. even though there is still no agreement, kevin mccarthy says the sides are going to keep talking. i think the productive part was who was in the room, narrowing what we re talking. we re not talking over each other. we re not saying, oh, let s bring something new into the discussion, let s not talk about raising taxes. that s been off for a long time. we literally talked about where we re having disagreements and ideas. so, to me, that s productive, not progress,

party bona fides sent him to washington and ryan is from his home state of wisconsin which leads me to my first question is does this change the mix in wisconsin? can you see republicans picking it up? they are now behind when you look at the polls in wisconsin. can paul ryan pull his own state into the romney column? good morning, candy. listen, i think wisconsin s always been in play. we turned wisconsin red in november 2010 because of president obama s policies, because of obama care, people didn t like that, being jammed through, entirely bart san basis. people also understand in wisconsin, we are pretty fiscally conservative here. people have the common sense notion that government should live within its means and as wisconsinites see this president spend our nation into debt, you know, burden our children, grandchildren with $5.3 trillion worth of added debt during this his administration, that scarce them so, again, we turned the state red in november 2010. i don t
