The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

• On Tuesday night, the House Rules Committee voted to send the Biden-McCarthy negotiated debt ceiling agreement to the House floor where it is expected to be voted on Wednesday night at 7pm ET. Meanwhile, the Freedom Caucus continues to object to the bill—with Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) hinting that if the bill passes in the House, Republicans should reconsider Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Could McCarthy’s leadership position be in jeopardy?
• Why are Republicans the party that always must compromise? Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has suggested that she will support the Biden-McCarthy negotiated debt ceiling agreement—noting that Republicans don’t control the Senate or the White House and compromise is necessary.
• Ryan Walker— Vice President of Government Relations at Heritage Action for America—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden-McCarthy negotiated debt ceiling agreement which is expected to be voted on Wednesday night. While the Heritage Foundation supports the original debt limit increase passed by Republicans in the House of Representatives earlier this month, they oppose the new bipartisan bill. Walker notes that the bill will eliminate the debt ceiling until January of 2025—without any dollar amount limiting federal spending. Some conservative senators have warned that it could lead to $4 trillion in additional debts added to the national deficit.
