House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appears on Fox News Sunday to defend his deal with Joe Biden for a debt ceiling increase.
In the past 24 hours many fiscal conservatives have criticized McCarthy for the terms of the agreement. In this interview, McCarthy walks through the details of the terms as he constructed them and pushes back against some of the criticism. WATCH:
As soon as the bill is in written form, we will be able to make a better determination. At this moment this is all hearsay based on what people think the legislation says.
We can not afford NOT to be energy independent.
The future of the nation cannot be staked on grotesque spending bills, regardless of which party writes them.
From a mathematical perspective, the USA currency will soon be history. If this budget deal passes, interest rates will spike dramatically increasing deficits, inflation, and bank runs. Politicians are playing with fire. The only question is the timing.
Once again, America has been betrayed by feckless, opportunist. Our beloved country will not be restored by a political process.
Productive policies rise from productive, honorable people. The ratio for forward success is far too low. A million extra southern invaders is dumbing down the populace and will produce catastrophic results.
Face it, we allowed reps to screw us over for decades. It ultimately comes back to us and what and whom we choose to ignore.
As a lawyer once told me – if both sides are unhappy then it’s probably a decent deal.
Except there aren’t “both sides” in this situation. It’s them vs them. The socialists are howling and screaming because the mean ol’ RINOs want kids to starve and grandmas to get pushed out onto the street. The RINOs are crowing over the meaningless scraps they managed to claw away from a guy who barely recognizes himself in the mirror anymore. Both are pointing fingers to keep us angry at the other side of the same coin.
In negotiations the unwritten law is to demand twice what you hope to get and then settle for a complete victory by giving up half.
Negotiating in DC means the government always grows bigger, the rate is the only thing that varies. It’s always personal liberties that are sacrificed. Show me any federal govt “negotiation” that hasn’t produced an ever larger federal govt and budget at the expense of the common man’s liberties.
that is what Trump never understood about dealing with Pelosi and Schumer. He was accustomed to dealing with ‘opponents’ in the private sector who had skin in the game and had things they wanted and things they could do without.
The Dems never gave up anything they wanted while Trump gave away everything he had campaigned on. He had the chance at one of the debt ceiling negotiations to get all the funding he needed but he signed a deal that forbade him from using any money to build the wall because he was too concerned with the well being of people whose sole source of sustenance was government cheques…. ‘oh, we can’t shut down the government, what about all those welfare people, what about bureaucrats who won’t get their thanksgiving turkeys? ‘ etc.
How come, as Commander in Chief, he didn’t need to get congressional approval to send cruise missiles into Syria yet as Commander in Chief he couldn’t get the wall built without congressional approval?
Hopefully his new found determination to drain the swamp is founded in a new realization that government is evil and it is every American’s duty to despise government agencies and employees.
.
Huh?
Paul, Ryan, Mitch MacConnell plus the poppies twins. Can only do so much with EO’s and after anything goes Obama.
Who was it that Trump pushed/endorsed as a “Strong and Fearless” speaker of the House?
I seem to have missed the updates from Trump on how great McCarthy is doing in fighting for MAGA and America first policies.
There was “news” to that effect. I don’t know whether it had any substance or not.
Fake unhappy. Dems don’t get hit but fake unhappy, Reps give everything up and then say wasn’t me I’m unhappy.
lets see if any conservatives vote no on this clown care package
Wasnt there supposedly some kind of arrangement with some Republican hold outs on the McCarthy installation for speaker where they could remove him quickly if he went rogue and reneged on his promises?
I realize its all staged BS but Im still curious.
Sorry to beat a dead horse – our foes are not the leftists that have taken over the institutions. The real foes are the leftists who have infiltrated the gop – the rinos.
If you have read the art of war the very basic principle is to identify who the enemy is.
The only reason we are where we are today is because of the RINOS who are enabling the leftists.
I’d like to see somebody present a bill that would ban credit card companies from putting a limit on how much debt people can accumulate on their credit cards. That way we can all run up as much debt as we want, borrow money to make the minmum payment and keep borrowing more….to infinity and beyond.
Love it! All in…the one who dies with the most debt and no spouse wins!
For those interested: McCarthy just released the full legislative text of the debt ceiling deal:

.
.
Hope everyone calls their Rep on Tuesday to say to vote No.
Have others noticed a major propaganda push out there in the media to try to paint this as a win for us?
My phone call on Tuesday will be mentioning what the agreement didn’t do:
And instead of a one year deal, McCarthy’s bill locks us in for two years!
thank you — I will share
Yes, I thank you too sunrei
“Student Loan Forgiveness —still funded”???McCarthy: Student loan payment pause ‘gone’ under debt ceiling deal
https://www.yahoo.com/news/mccarthy-student-loan-payment-pause-141556218.html
Both are true.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/28/debt-ceiling-bill-curveballs-00099146
STUDENT LOAN PAYMENT PAUSE GONE
“The deal would force the administration to resume collecting federal student loan payments and interest for millions of Americans after Aug. 30, ending a payment pause that had originated as a response to the pandemic.” . . .
DEAL WOULD NOT STOP BIDEN’S SEPARATE PLAN TO FORGIVE STUDENT DEBT
But the deal would not affect Biden’s separate plan to forgive as much as $20,000 in student debt per borrower — something many Republicans had sought to repeal as part of the debt ceiling negotiations. That plan remains in limbo at the Supreme Court, which is expected to rule in the coming weeks on whether it can proceed.
Let’s hear what Ms Green has to say about McCarthy’s proposal. Will it be the end of their honeymoon?
She thinks it is great! All smiles. So sickening.
Put a patch on her eye and she’ll look even more like Crenshaw…
She is yet another disgusting chaff dispenser for the Rino war plane’s mission of obliterating the MAGA movement to put Americans and America first.
Wrote my congressman an e-mail stressing the above points and urging him to vote NO. Crickets so far…

Well, all I’ve seen and said since 2016 is truer than ever. The constitution is hopelessly incapable of making us competent, honorable people. The populace are so out of touch intellectually and spiritually there’s no way to fix anything. The worst keep getting elected for a reason. Votes are irrelevant.
Multinationals have the system sewn up. We won’t live without their product and therefore must conform to the policies they want passed. There is NO ONE TO COMPLAIN TO. Votes are way after the fact.
But todays public-education class doesn’t know shyt about anything. It will require a financial asteroid to make any effect.
The constitution has no fault in this.
I learned more reading on my own than I ever did in a silly public school, sir. I must be one of those youngins who was able to escape those institutions without a skull full of mush.
We were told we got a republic, BUT it was ONLY for a moral people.
THAT’S THE PROBLEM!!!
How many of us (yes US) are moral, holy, godly people?
Make
America
Godly
Again
Here’s the ultimate economic stimulus:
Ban credit cards companies from either denying or limiting credit to anybody.
Unlimited spending for everybody, forever!!
It’s gonna be great!!
Just think the original 2023 budget coukd only last 5 months is a HUGE problem! People should be asking, where did all this
money go?
Back to the ether from whence it came? Much of that currency was created ex nihilo, and leads to a glaring issue.
How does this currency still enjoy widespread circulation knowing this?
Then, comes the realization that one can do so much by controlling the currency flow.
The currency must flow, for he who controls the currency can control the world.
A flaw remains. Currency and money are not always the same thing.
But when it’s in written form the house has 72 hrs to read it- right? I feel like I heard Kevin say that recently…..
I heard 72 hours too. Also heard the floor debate starts Wednesday. McCarthy released the legislative text this evening so I guess that would mean with a 72 hour delay that the earliest vote would be Wed eve?
“In principle” whatever that means. What if he sent the house home as a trap? I would be livid.
I don’t have to read a word of it to know that McCarthy has betrayed us all. He was a snake from the beginning, and they allowed him to take the Speakership anyway.
This Congress is done. All of the shouting is just wind after this betrayal. Nothing can be salvaged after the control of the purse has been given up.
Some of the MAGA wing of the GOP caucus have told the press they are going to try to sink the bill.
Heard at least sixty GOP reps are against it. But McCarthy may get enough Dems to support it for it to pass with the needed 218 votes. Wednesday looks like the start of the floor debate and possible vote after that.
Time to call as many reps as possible to tell them to vote against it.
Get rid of Kevin Mccarthy.
We need a Ross Perot. God rest his soul but the globalists then undermined him. How much better off would the USA and world be today had Perot been president rather than Bill Clinton!
There wasn’t enough of us who knew how bad it was. I raise my hand and I am sorry about that. I had bought the lie that a vote for a 3rd party was a losing vote. Don’t I wish I had known what I know now.
I’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop with McCarthy and now it has…POS !
McCarthy was given a chance. He’s so blowing himself out of the water.
He’s NOT going to be happy with his Harvest, but it is what he deliberately chose.
God isn’t going to Rob him of his own Free Will Choice.
Matthew 25:31-46.
mtg is a prostitute for the deep state malarkey
It sounds to me like supporters and detractors of this bill are starting their analysis from a different point in time. Some, like McCarthy, start analysis from where we are today. Others, like Bannon, start their analysis of the spending pre-COVID and are deeply offended by the past two years of dramatically increased spending. The debate on this will be fascinating, and I’m starting with an open mind.
You do realize the increases in spending is what is causing our grocery inflation right?
And that the spending solely benefits the Intelligence Deepstate?
MAGA won’t win if the Deepstate keeps getting funded.
This is not just about the amount of spending.
The only political leverage the House of Rep has is during negotiations over funding the government. McCarthy gave up all his political leverage which he could have use to pressure agreements to:
McCarthy gave up the only time when the House would have any leverage to fix/address the above issues. AND he agreed to lock the deal in for two years –thru the end of the current House term. Might as well go home. No more leverage.
In my view, as a country we’d be better off to have not made any agreement at all. Force the government spending to shrink to stay within income (tax receipts).
Last year the IRS took in roughly $4.2 trillion (after refunds).
The debt payment (interest) was $305 billion.
Out of $4.2 trillion plus loans we had $1.7 trillion discretionary expenditures out of which to pay that $305 billion without impacting mandatory spending like social security.
The media was scaring people about losing soc sec benefits if the debt ceiling was not raised. Would never have happened. Like any household, we would have needed to prioritize spending –reducing the discretionary and protecting the mandatory spending.
McCarthy gave up every inch of political leverage for the next two years, for no reason, to no benefit.
Apparently a debt ceiling no longer exists.
The very obvious problem with all of this is that: “it isn’t ‘debt,’ by any rational definition.” If you can “issue trillions(!) of dollars of ‘government bonds'” and there exists a magical “private” corporation called the Federal Reserve that always has the ability to “buy them,” then you are just pulling ‘money’ out of your ass.
And yet, you want other nations to [only …] use “your currency.” That simply is not going to continue to happen, because it no longer makes rational sense to do so. Nations will necessarily move to employ the currencies of other nations which still do exhibit financial responsibility and discipline. (As well as their own.) As any rational human being would. They are already in the very-active process of doing so, and it is your damned fault.
No one is going to give you something that costs them to produce, in exchange for a piece of paper that costs you nothing. “What kind of Fool do you think I am?”
US Treasury, “thy name is Rumpelstiltskin.” And your “gold” is merely “smelly straw.”
Here is the problem who is both more responsible with there currency and has a deep reserve of actual assets to back it up.
China? The great currency manipulator?
Russia? A cess pool of graft poverty and coruption worse then our own.
The US has a relatively small population and abundant resources of oil and farming land. Petro dollars dont have to be pumped out of the ground the just have to be there.
Trust me i dont like the situation. i am tired of the globalist getting it all but we are captured and they will spend it all on themselves like a 5.year old with a dollar.
Hey more good news today on the labor front 20% of the labor force.is foreign born/s
We are in deep do do but the levers of power.do not belong to the people anywhere in the world right now. The facists have cptured it all. Be grateful the oil is in the ground we will need it all when this is over.
“all things come to pass …nothing comes to stay”
my Grandma Munsel.
FJB F them all
I new McCarthy would be useless, just another “leave your Balls at home” RINO!!!
Oh, it’s bad. I don’t even need to see the legislation to know that. It’s bad, because it’s ALWAYS bad after one of these Debt Ceiling Drama plays in 5 acts. We are now in Act 4, the part where the Uni-Party sends their people out to tell the press how bad this bill is for BOTH sides. The point is to give the illusion that because no one likes the bill, both sides “gave up” something for the good of the country. And it is all BS. Nobody likes the deal because they are either playing their part, OR because the bill is a horrible bill; and it is nearly always a combination of the two. Act 5 will be the “learned” pundits in the media assuring us of how this bill didn’t solve that many problems, but when you have an evenly divided country, you aren’t going to do much better than this. All BS. McCarthy and the GOPe held ALL the cards. All of them. And once again, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Because victory for the people means a loss for the Deep State, and that just can’t happen.
Yeah, neither “side” gave up anything BUT the Good of the Country.
President Trump should tell us what to do.
Yeah, I’m sure it will be fantastic.
As the debt ceiling goes, the value of our labor dollar breaks. The central banks have done this to many countries already.
The only two currencies that have not experienced hyperinflation are the USA and China.
None should be surprised that McCarthy (the Rino) caved. The long-drawn out- theater was to have us believe he was doing something; just like his “election” as speaker. Believe nothing that comes from DC.
87000 new Lois Lehrners in a already weaponized govt agency.
Maybe they audit Joes chi com money 1st to set a example.

Gatez, Marjorie and Freedom Caucus: DO YOUR JOB and YOUR PROMISE!
REMOVE McCarthy TOMORROW…
YOU PROMISED and IF NOT DONE…don’t EVER make another comment.
THIS IS your show and THIS is YOUR man…
EITHER McCarthy is OUT TOMORROW or Gaetz, Marjorie and Freedom Caucus LIED….
A FOUR TRILLION DOLLAR SPENDING INCREASE / 4,000,000,000,000,000.
Speaker McCarthy has the testicles to tell the American people that he has cut spending, and this is a great deal. More lies, and BS, from the political machine that continues to destroy our country, and fill their pockets with this budget of absurd spending.
Can it be stopped?
It could be stopped – we need our Patrick Henry and more than a few American citizens willing to die to rather than live as slaves under this neo-fascism.
It looks like McCarthy is still what he always was. He is owned by the big GOPe donors just like most of the other Republicans. There is only a tiny handful of them that I trust even a little bit these days. We need Trump back in charge just to buy us some time before America the free goes belly up because these people are never going to do what’s right for anybody but themselves and their money masters. It’s disgusting.
I think even the ones we trust a little are designated role players who provide a release valve for conservative and common sense views. I’m not sure any of it is “real” as opposed to a series/calendar of staged actions designed to carry various constituencies along on a magical mystery tour.
Liar.
McCarthy will get nothing substantial and will cave to Joke Biden. No bill that doesn’t get us actual spending cuts instead of just reductions in automatic increased, an actual budget, mandatory debt reduction and a reduction in the debt limit not an increase is a total shafting of American taxpayers. The government takes in more than enough money each month to pay it’s legal obligations the problem is that they spend too much on payoffs and other non-essential things like the money to Ukraine, a total waste.
I know there is no chance of the political fat cats from both sides doing the right thing and I don’t expect anything but more of the same greed, graft and payoffs to happen here or in the near future.
McCarthy is selling votes. He will garner substantial wealth before he caves to Biden.
Take it away from him. Criminal.
Kevin McCarthy ‘Not at all’ Concerned About Losing Speakership – Claims 95% of the House GOP Supports the Deal During Conference Call
I have read that democrats are willing to help him retain the speaker post if he tries to push through this legislation.
Since the edict by the Biden Administration hiring 87, 000 newly aggressive and aggressor Tax Collectors by this administration, I had fingerscrossed hope that the 23 midterm would reequilbrize the state of Americanist grace by shooing in the GOP house that would block hat soviet style IRS militation, I had a good income year in 2022. I have a wife and 3 kids in college. I lost my job at the end of december. I am up shoot creek. I will not be able pay what they are asking of me. I see where Matt Taibbi has been harassed by the IRS for his testimony on the hill. The IRS were looking into his Social media, writings and texts to see how they can justify shutting Matt’s speech. How many of us have targets on our abckthat we cannot fiscally survive by this stalinism. McCarthy failed his most major promise to protect us from the 87,000 Sauls!
The sad reality
is that Republicans are nowhere near as committed
to saving America as the Democrats are
to destroying
America.
I need a shower after watching this. He clearly wants to be everyone’s friend in DC.
Why should dems bother to win the house, if their opponents will give them what they want
I don’t believe anything until I see it when it comes to the government. The government is full of sociopaths. Frankly, I think my big toe would make a better speaker than McCarthy.
I thought this debt ceiling crisis was orchestrated to implement a digital currency.
If our installed government has reached a plan to continue printing paper money that cannot be controlled in every transaction then there must be another plan in place to force the world into a digital traceable currency where every transaction is monitored approved or denied based upon your value to the tyrants whims.
Kevin McCarthy is Still Always filled with Hog Wash, poured down his throat by John Boehner like Australian Ants, I forget if it is Honey Ants or Sugar Ants – I believe it to be Honey Ants, they pick Certain of their own Kind out of their own hive or bed, and they bite off the legs of these selected ones, and then proceed to stuff them to the gills with honey until they are huge bloated “Jars of Honey”, and are stored up for the Hard Times, such as Drought, when this Emergency Food Supply becomes so handy to have around.
And they cannot escape.
All expectations are met. Now McCarthy is officially in the same club as Boehner and Ryan; just another worthless and weak politician.
Note to McCarthy & others in bed with Biden:
Deals with the devil …
Outcome predictable.
Lucy pulled the football AGAIN!!!
