have questions about this information was an there determine the answersin the coming days . >> one of those lawmakers is senator tom cotten. he was on fox news yesterday but do you say? >> this spy balloon has become a trial balloon testing buy-in's strength and resolve it unfortunately the president failed that test in the hands of the american people. we were paralyzed by an entirely viable. we should have shot this balloon down over the aleutian islands. we should never have allowed it to transfer the entire continental united states and their open questions in his easter answer to congress on behalf of the american qupeople about why they didn't. or if it is the president's reluctance to kk action us

confrontational first chinese communists. was provocative is sending. >> your reaction to the , senator there. >> senator, and is saying what a lot of lawmakers are now which is why the administration shoot the balloon down there ? there's been some back and forth in how the position is choosing to answer that . so far by them has said

publiclythey didn't want to cause any harm to civilians which is , it's been the main excuse they had but we have to reporting the post some administration officials are saying anonymously that these photos have been spotted before in past administrations and now you have some administration officials saying on the record that's not true there's a lot of back-and-forth about five how the administration handled this what i sense that they came republicans are helping on the portion republicans saying no central it happened in the administration of a mating that the next few days we also see what came shooting down the balloon and all this information about the work and all that piece, sc

fights to stayat the center . explain. >> i interviewed majority leader chuck schumerabout how he is approaching the debt ceiling talk . so he's seen a lot of different physical showdowns, democrats and republicans republicans 202-748-8001, democrats to to 748 8000 and

independence tools to 748-8002. you can text us as well. 202748 8003. ms. goodwin, are the desktops continuingthis week and are the two sides actually talking ? >> this is what schumer has been making, he doesn't like to call it a negotiation because he thinksuntil speaker party says what kind of cuts they want , attached to the debt ceiling vote and lays out his is not the negotiation, obviously mccarthy is saying he met with hbyron in the white house that's something they're portraying has always been at the democrats or even in the room given that brian is a known association that ceiling and opens his thoughts on budget changing

separately from the debt ceiling but he says this is such an important vote and hold it hostage and yet he is in the room with mccarthy therefore thinks that on the inside . so they haven't set a date for a new meeting as far as i know they said they want to meet again. i think that democrats are going to be pushing on that same message of what do you want is there anything really that you can pass through the house because mccarthy is in the majority and he suggests you are not vote to let it under any circumstances in at least four months so there's also some questioning of mccarthy's status as a negotiator given what's going on in his camp and we will see that continue. >>, as

washington post talking about the conversations are part of that liz is there's also union interestsand how will that week ? >> the state of the union is tomorrow and as we earlier the balloon issue will be hanging over the body and is expected toaddress that in some way . house republicans have been bandying about the idea of having a resolution disapproving how his administration handled back reso that could beone factor for sure tomorrow . another issue with the criminal justice issue, there's been a lot of pressure on buy-in to get democrats to address the any of

brutality issues people were raising the way george was so paul's parents are going to be the state of the union. there is reporting today in gai

and could this be a loss of a potential election as well?

we were to do this when it was all democrats who mostly wanted the police reform done . now with the house republicans it just doesn't seem like it's going to happen essentially. i think the combination of the divided government some republicans who were interested in making this deal a few years ago sounding down on it as not given people outside of pehope in this moment but senator tim scott and cory booker are talking again. there is one that what that he'll fall apart last time so there is some movement on a hill. >> less often about what house republicans are doing a control that chamber last week.

i'll oversight is brutal of twitter and undermines the story, what the hearing ? >> this hearing is interesting because it is focusing on alleged bias in how social media works even though it does touch on the hunter buy-in story which republicans are interested in as well. it's kind of a backdoor into issue because the focus of the hearing will be former twitter executives, is focused on for the decision not to run the us post story about hunter's laptop right before this money for the election. so twitter has been talking about this on his platform, he came to the capital and talked to see her seriously. this is an issue that is working on his behalf. they feel like there's

supposed bias in social media and its drawing attention to the residence son is potentially unsavory behavior , is one situation politically. >> let's hear from bob in west salem, democratic caller . you've got to use your solvation. >> i've been watching this every day i finally decided to call in. i don't understand what's wrong with the americanpeople . donald trump is the most disgusting thing that was ever in the white house why he's not in jail yes i can't

hello rob. >> i propose that congress address an issue that i think everyone can enforce most of their party affiliation want to see congress passed the doc bill, the bill that addresses nationalization of the ... translate come to the country illegally know nothing about the united states as their own nation .at daca on the floor, it will at least get us off the dive version . >> the daca issue is one ut the

issue and republicans want the population would be very narrow . just that youngest dream and there was a love order security in exchange democrats, they objected to some of their water records and asylum records they were pushing so it didn't happen and you know, house republicans have the pledge

this could have had a catastrophic effect on ourcountry . if there was an emg. translate.

>> host: listed, are there any media hearings scheduled on this yet? >> guest: there are not any schedule yet but i would be surprised if there are some, especially in the house. i think people are waiting for that raising with the very top congressional leaders that gets asked questions and find out more about what happened. and then the question is basically whether there's enough information that can be made public that can be discussed in a hearing. part of it is ...
