deal reached with kevin mccarthy to raise the nation s debt limit. here is what the president had to say. i m about to go in and call mccarthy now, make sure all the ts are cross and the is are dotted. a few on capitol hill have expressed some skepticism that the bill will have enough support to pass. today, speaker mccarthy told reporters that he is confident there will be enough votes to get through his chamber. to take you back to where we started, back to february 1. sat down with the president. i said, let s work together to raise the debt ceiling but curb the amount of spending. cut red tape. get work requirements to help people get back into work. i think this agreement frames all of that from limit, save, grow. it doesn t get everything everybody wanted. i think it s a positive bill. we did a conference call with our conference. over 95% were excited about what they see. they get the text today. look, in every single negotiation, when it comes to the debt ceilin
post today. they call him senile. they cite his performance at the debate where he couldn t even remember who he was who he impeached. and an up-and-down week on wall street and fears a recession could be around the corner. and so the question right now is can we bring inflation down without triggering a recession. my answer to that question is i don t know. but up first. new cnn reporting on the fall-out from donald trump keeping reams of classified documents at his beach house in mar-a-lago. cnn confirming the national archives retrieved more than 100 classified documents back in january, some 700 pages worth of material. the confirmation comes from a letter from the archives addressed to trump s own attorneys. we are learning that the archives were so concerned about what they uncovered at trump s home that it asked the intelligence community to assess potential damage, if there was any national security risk posed by how the documents were handled and stored. t

And it is a dangerous moment for our country that the doj has i mean, doesnt the meeting on the tarmac with bill clinton and the airplane look quaint now . Actually, thats a perfect it looks quaint. We have been talking about what feels like a frantic publicrelations effort. Two statements released from william barr on a report hes had for some time. An extraordinary report about ao open,t ongoing investigation. Some of the most sensitive intelligence and Law Enforcement in our country. And now, guess whos weighing in . Guess. Guess. Guess. Donald j. Trump. Lets listen. Okay. Thank you very much. The ig report just came out.

Far worse than i would have ever thought possible. And its its an embarrassment to
Ahead and have your vote because he wants to get back to the business of the American People. A lot of good Talking Points with the economy and stock market so i think hes going to say im the president and focused on the business at hand and focused on something he believes is unimportant in the end. The event that he is doing today is on School Choice and a big issue for the republican party, hes got some results there and we have the president now talking about the horowitz report, we have that tape for you right here. President trump thank you very much. The ig report just came out and i was just briefed on it and its a disgrace what has happened with respect to the things that were done to our country.
