It's been over 80 days since President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have met to discuss the debt ceiling, as the President and his top advisors continue refusing to negotiate on a debt ceiling increase. Though McCarthy has not come forward with the clean proposal the President is calling for, he has introduced the new 'Limit, Save, Grow Act,' legislation that agrees to raise the debt ceiling if certain spending cuts are made. The Speaker is now looking to House Republicans this coming week, as he aims to round up at least 218 votes to pass the bill and strengthen his stance on the debt ceiling before future talks with the President. On the Rundown, Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) joins to discuss what 'reckless' spending has led the U.S. economy to become $31 trillion in debt and why it's crucial that both parties put the American people before politics when coming to an agreement on the debt ceiling. Later, he shares his concerns about China's potential plans to invade Taiwan and how the U.S. should work to ensure Taiwan is equipped for war as soon as possible.
