| 0:00.0 | You know, there's this standoff going on between House Republicans and President Biden over |
| 0:04.0 | raising the nation's borrowing limit. And some people in the Biden administration |
| 0:09.1 | officials debating what to do if the government runs out of cash to pay the bills and one of |
| 0:14.0 | the options that they are maybe considering is a constitutional challenge. |
| 0:21.7 | What the Republicans should do, now we have told you for months they will not do because Kevin |
| 0:25.8 | McCarthy and Jim Banks and all our rowdy friends over there except for the the 20 who really |
