Summary
The Republican House majority, controlled by the crazies empowered by Speaker McCarthy, seem intent on driving America and the world over a financial cliff over the debt limit. But Real Clear Politics Associate Editor and Columnist A.B. Stoddard, argues they're also driving themselves over a cliff as well. She joins Bill today to dissect the “agenda” for House Republicans, and how that agenda helps the crazies raise money, get hits on Fox News, but turns off moderate Republican voters and independents.
Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by the American Federation of Teachers, those men and women doing God's work teaching our children. More information at AFT.org.
