>> we have now become so politically correct that we are embracing rats. where are we as a society? and it's so great here, he's going to make 155,000 a year. >> a lot of rat carrying pizza. remember that video? >> not the secret of nim, get the rat traps. an get the rat out. set your dvr tomorrow. "america reports" now. [yelling] >> john: absolute mayhem in chicago as hundreds of teenagers stormed the treats of the historic downtown loop area smashing car windows, assaulting drivers and prompting a major police response. now chicago's mayor-elect brandon johnson is defending the rioters. >> sandra: warning critics to

not demonnize the youth, and instead suggests finding more places for them is spend time. fired up on this, we'll be joined live coming up. >> i truly believe they were there to kill me. so faced with this, i did what i knew i had to do to save my life. i stabbed that man in self-defense. but when the police came, even though i was injured myself, i was placed under arrest. >> it was hard to believe what my son looked like. face was beaten, open and shut case. and bragg is moving the case along with no solution, offering deal after deal. >> he dismissed, completely dismissed gang assault and murder indictments against two of the defendants clearly on video participating in the brutal savage slaughter of my

son. >> john: this busy monday, hearing correctly from new york city crime victims as they wrap up investigations into alvin bragg of dereliction of duty. sandra, the band is back together again. >> sandra: fiery field hearing wrapping up moments ago a block away from bragg's office. several witnesses testified how his soft on crime policies have turned manhattan into a dangerous place to raise a family, claiming his office has empowered criminals while targeted innocent new yorkers who fought back while being attacked. >> john: democrats say it's political payback, and that jim jordan is trying to discredit bragg as he moves forward with prosecution of former president trump. lance gooden standing by with his take away. >> sandra: bryan is live outside

the hearing room here in lower manhattan. what more did the victims of violent crime in new york city have to say as there is a commotion behind you at this moment, bryan. >> the hearing has just ended, there are some supporters of the republican-house judiciary committee, it was a fiery hearing, you can sense the frustrations, we heard support a spokesperson from jose alba, he was stabbed in his shot and he killed the repeat criminal in an act of self-defense. d.a. bragg charged alba with murder before dropping the charges amid public outcry, and heard from the father of joseph boregen, one of his attackers who showed no remorse was given a six month plea deal by d.a.

bragg. he admonished the democrats on the house judiciary committee. here he is and other victims. >> he was laughing, that's very nice and the other democrats are telling us that we are all props. please don't talk down to us. >> the democrat party, including mr. nadler and everybody here today has ignored us in the city and we need federal oversight, we need help. >> the next time an snpt man does nothing but protect their own life in self-defense they should not be made the villian but treated with care and compassion as the victim. >> in 2022, d.a. bragg downgraded more than 50% of the felony cases to misdemeanors and only convicted half of the major felony cases. overall, crime in new york city in 2022 was up 22%, and felony arrests hit a 16-year high. d.a. bragg contends in

manhattan, crime is down 2% and shootings are down double digit percentage, and democrats accuse republicans of only the hearing only because bragg is prosecuting former president trump. >> i want to thank all the witnesses, including the victims of crime. i fear you are being used for a political purpose despite your sincerity. >> the reason we are here in new york, you have democrats, citizens calling for some relief from this pain and we are here not to use anyone but to uplift the voices of brave people who are here to tell their story. >> bragg called today's hearing, sandra, a political stunt. mayor adams, a democrat, said new york is the safest big city in america. >> sandra: if i could just follow up what we are hearing in the background, more clarity on who the yelling is coming from -- >> yeah, the yelling is coming

from obvious supporters of former president trump as well as people who support republicans who are holding this hearing. you can tell there was a little issue with anti-republican protestors who believed this was nothing more than a political stunt. and now after the hearing voicing their frustration with democrats on the committee and support for republicans. this was a back and forth today and they are yelling at people as they are coming out of the hearing. >> sandra: keep us posted from lower manhattan, bryan, thank you very much. >> john: inside look here, bringing texas republican congressman lance gooden, he was part of the hearing which wrapped up, and serves on the house judiciary committee. good of you to be with us. field hearings are an effort by republicans to bring problems out to where the problems actually exist rather than looking at them in the insulated halls of congress.

how alvin bragg saw what happened today, he said don't be fooled, the house gop is coming to the safest big city in america for a political stunt. if chairman truly cared about public safety, take a drive to columbus, akron, toledo, instead of using taxpayers dollars to travel hundreds of miles out of his way. bragg says it's nothing more than revenge for indicting president trump. >> i say no one even donald trump on the republican side, the democrats refused to being acknowledge the crime, democrats make it political, they lacked empathy for the witnesses, they were insulting. the mother of the murdered war hero, she was criticized by chairman nadler and made as if she should be grateful two of the four killers are behind bars, she's been shut out of the process by the d.a.'s office.

i applaud her for standing up to the democrats. they were insulting to the witnesses, to the family members who just want justice. they represent so many new yorkers i have spoken to in my short time here today who say this sieve city is not safe. the statistics are not something criminals look at before they push you in front of the subway or murder you, and what i saw from democrats was obsession with donald trump and refusal to being a knowledge the reality on the ground. >> how are you struck by jose alba, originally charged with murder, and had there not been surveillance video of what happened the outcome might have been very different for him. >> it's a real tragedy. he does not speak english well, so he was working through an interpreter. no one advocated on his behalf. they let this man get trampled over by the judicial system. alvin bragg and the district

attorney's office has left him behind, continued to deny justice to so many people. so striking and so offensive was how the democrats dismissed the concerns of these witnesses. they made it about trump, they made it about statistics that no one here believes. tried to say this is the safest city in america. i don't believe that, no one believes that, and the mothers and fathers of the direction -- victims don't believe that. >> john: the congressman trying to make the point about the safest big city in america, gerald nadler, represents the district in which the hearing was held. he seemed to play down the idea of crime in the big city. listen to what he said. >> the chairman says this hearing is about the victims of violent crime in manhattan. never mind the fact new york is one of the safest big cities in america. never mind the fact that under the leadership of mayor adams

and district attorney bragg over the last year crime in manhattan has dropped nearly every major category. including murders down 14%, shootings down 17%, burglaries down 21%, and robberies down 8%. >> john: of course statistics are all in how you work the numbers. put up on the screen, what has gone on with crime in new york city through april of this year, the 9th, crime is down a little bit, .08%, murder down 9%, robbery down 3%. assaults up 8%, but take a look at the increases for 2021, total crime up 45%, robbery 43%, murders are down 13%. so crime continues to be, it would seem, despite what congressman nadler said a real problem in new york city. >> that's right. and democrats talk about crime and they accept realities, only at campaign time. congressman goldman, whose

district we were in, we were next door to nadler's district, goldman said crime is worse than he's seen it in 25 years, and now today no crime in new york. it's crazy. what democrats know is a huge issue for these voters across the nation is crime in their own backwards. at campaign time, they say they want to protect neighborhoods, protect the people. they get to washington, forget about that, focus on the obsession of donald trump and it's got to stop. >> john: a real disconnect what they say. congressman, thank you, we'll look forward to you being back here in d.c. and more in the hour ahead. >> sandra: deroy murdoch will be joining us, and joe germanata, says businesses cannot continue to operate in this environment. and john, you saw what happened in chicago over the weekend and

something has to give. this was the chaos on the ground in chicago and we have been talking about how this violence that used to be on the outskirts of the city, oh the south side or the far north side, this is millennium park, the center of the city. this is the loop area. where businesses once went to prosper and thrive. this was where you went as a tourist when you lived in the suburbs or the colleges and the surrounding areas. you cannot walk down the streets in one of the nicest parts of chicago and feel safe today and not only that, you have a mayor in that city who by the way in the past blamed businesses for the spike in crime. they are not paying their fair share in taxes. he's saying don't demonize the youth, they need a place to hang out. john, it's remarkable, and you know chicago is near and dear to my heart and that story is not eventh iede local there.

nowhere to be found on the front page, nowhere to be found in the publication -- not even covering this in chicago. >> john: he said they need a place to hang out, suggesting the loop area or they need a place to hang out which then would seem incumbent upon the mayor to work with the city council to provide. >> sandra: and lori lightfoot, she's saying where is the parents. where has she been with where are the parents who they are learning in school, and those arguments. now it's nobody's fault but what's happening at home. it's really something. we will dig into this more and lady gaga's father will join us with a business owner on the ground in chicago, meanwhile, directly impacted by this. he owns a restaurant in downtown chicago and they are crying for help. those who have been able to hang on and stay there throughout this crime spike. >> john: looking forward to that segment. joe has a lot to say. >> sandra: a tight knit community is in mourning after a

deadly shooting at a sweet 16 party. happened in alabama. at least four are dead, dozens are month injured. several in critical conditions. charles watson is live in dadeville, alabama. what can tell us about the victims involved here? >> the coroner's office just released the names of the four victims who were killed in the midst of the tragic mass shooting here in dadeville. the victims, most of whom were young, most of whom were teenagers, have been identified as 23-year-old corbin, 19-year-old marsia, 18 and 17-year-olds. smith's grandmother, who is understandably upset by what's happened, said the 17-year-old as a high school senior, enjoyed track and volleyball, all of this in between studying. >> great student, she get mad if she would make a b.

so you can tell me -- tell me that if you get mad because she made a b, she's a good a student. she's a good girl. >> and those who knew daldell said he was a high school senior, recently committed to football here at jackson state football following stellar play in high school, and a good kid. >> he's the kind of kid you would want your kids connected with, that's the type of kid he has always been. >> folks who live in town say the mass shooting has really gripped this community as people really try to make sense of what happened. many came out to a vigil last night to honor the four victims killed and say a prayer for the 28 others injured when someone opened fire at a sweet 16

birthday party late saturday night. for most of sunday, they looked at mahogany masterpiece, where it happened, but so far they have not pointed to a suspect or motive. and they have pleaded with the public to be patient as they investigate this tragedy. they are also appealing to the public asking them to call in to crimestoppers if they have any tips or any information that could help lead them to solving this case. sandra. >> sandra: just horrific. charles watson, thank you. john. >> john: the eastern district of new york fox news alert, where we are witnessing a press conference by the u.s. attorney's office there. charging a couple of chinese nationals in the united states with operating an undeclared chinese government police station in chinatown in manhattan. harry lu, and another, have been charged as conspiring to act as

agents of china's government. similar to a case last year in which five individuals were charged for operating one of the so-called police stations, stocking, harassing and spying on u.s. residents on behalf of the people's republic of china secret police. in addition to those two charges, 34 officers of china's national police force have been charged in absentia with a trans national regression scheme as it's called. so basically what they are trying to do is trying to get to chinese nationals living here in the united states and harassing them, otherwise intimidating them into shutting up about what they might be saying about the xi jinping regime and the communist government of china. we'll keep watching that press conference and bring you more information as we get it. sandra. >> sandra: we will indeed. we are waiting a pentagon press briefing as the wall street journal reports, a former u.s.

navy noncommissioned officer played a key role in the spreading of the leaked intelligence documents online. reaction from lieutenant general keith kellogg and former under secretary of the army patrick murphy on that. coming up. plus this. >> i jump in my car, my husband goes to the hospital. >> what did they do? >> because the guy said put the gun in the face. >> it continues, chaos in chicago after hundreds of teenagers take over the streets, destroying property and attacking tourists. national review online deroy murdoch is up next what needs to be done to get crime under control in chicago. stay with us. r credit cards lately? get ready for a shock. the rate on credit cards is now over 22%. if you want to save hundreds of dollars every month, pay off the balances on your high rate cards with a lower rate va home loan from newday usa. and get the financial peace of mind every veteran deserves. no one takes care of veterans like newday usa.

>> john: a teen takeover terrorizes chicago over the weekend as hundreds of young people descend on the downtown area, destroying property, blocking traffic and smashing cars. mayor-elect brandon johnson condemns the violence but urges the public not to "demonize youth" who he says has been "starved of opportunity." fox news contributor deroy murdoch is standing by with us. garrett is live in chicago. is anything being done to stop this from happening again? >> well, john, these gatherings were organized online and they are and were and will continue to monitor social media but it clearly did not do a whole lot of good this weekend. hundreds of young people came to the downtown and essentially took over areas of the heart of the city.

you can see several fights breaking out in the crowd and folks eventually running in panic when two teenagers were shot. along chicago's magnificent mile, police had to escort tourists and others away from the crowd back to their cars and hotels for safety. you can see this group of teens jumping on top of a city bus, and this tesla that got smashed, broken into, and set on fire. one woman said while she and her husband were trying to drive down the packed street, the crowd jumped on their car, smashed their windshield and beat her husband while he was in the driver's seat. >> i jump in my car, my husband go to the hospital. >> what did they do? >> because they put in the face. >> police tell us they arrested 15 people and lori lightfoot

placed a lot of the blame on parents, parents and guardians must know where their children are and responsible for their actions, intilling values of respect for people and property must begin at home. and these scenes are almost a regular occurrence any time the weather is warmer like this weekend, and adding to the bad optics, the latest incidents come just days after the dnc announced chicago will be hosting the democratic party's national convention next year. john. >> john: strange irony in that, to be sure. garrett, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: 15 arrested in connection with the loop chaos, two teens shot. where is the four alarm fire? fox news contributor deroy murdoch. where is the coverage? the chicago tribune, the largest circulated newspaper in that area. and the front page not even a mention of it in its monday morning edition. we dig through it, not even a

story covering it. that could have changed in the last few hours, but not even a story to cover the chaos on the ground. >> as if it didn't happen. it goes against the narrative of the left, violent comes from white nationalist, it does not fit the story so they look the other way. and that does not provide political pressure needed for something like this to be cleaned up and taken care of. and you see teenagers who gotten a clear message, a world without consequences. do what they want, climb over cars, kick in windshields, and few of them arrested, most went home afterwards and a fun evening, a saturday evening in downtown chicago. >> sandra: the mayor-elect, what appears to be in defense of this type of activity, smashing cars, climbing on busses, obviously people were shot, extremely

unlawful activity. he comes to their defense in this statement, essentially saying they are starved of opportunities in their communities. in no way he says do i condone destructive activity in the loop and lake front, it is not construction -- constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities. ok, you are the mayor-elect, what are you going to do about providing those opportunities in that's communities? what is the plan to turn this around? >> look, whether there are opportunities or not, nobody has a right to say i'm bored on a saturday night, i'm going to beat up tourists and attack busses. this is pure savagery and they need to be reined in, a lot of cops, they should have arrested a lot more. >> that clock, that's the old marshall fields building.

state street, michigan avenue, the lake front. >> art institute of chicago. >> apparently multiple attempts of break-ins at the museum. but this is -- this is no longer -- no longer the fringe of the city, no longer the far north side, the far south side, you are talking about the nicest areas of the city. at some point you have to acknowledge the trading floors have closed, office space vacated, people are not coming back and used to be strengths in numbers, say something if they saw something. people could step in. the police seem they are helpless walking around, the few you see in the videos. >> the been defunded, declawed, demonized, and i could be attacked for police brutality, so rather than the offense against criminals they are on the defense, afraid of stepping in. and before rudy giuliani came in, police observing crime. so watching the crime happening, oh, gee, isn't that sad,

terrible, and it's their job to step in. but so often they get reined in or attacked or sued or fired or what have you, a lot of them are thinking twice or 3 or 4 times before they do their jobs. i don't blame them, i blame the environment because of people like mayor-elect brandon johnson, so far left he looks like marjorie taylor greene. and like alexandria ocasio-cortez who said if we defund the police it will be like a suburb. >> sandra: with the convention coming to town, they will make it look like the policies are working. >> or secret service says we cannot have this with the president of the united states, white house aides, they may be forced to clean it up with the convention coming in. >> sandra: we'll dig in further

next hour with a business owner on the ground directly impacted by this. he's outraged and restaurants are having a hard time continuing to operate and people don't want to go to work, it's a brutal environment and for those of us who know how great the city can be, it's awful. >> beautiful place, just ruined, terrible. >> john: sounds like the chicago tribune finally caught wind of this, breaking news posted a short time, 15 arrested after melee saturday night. it's already a crowded republican primary field, florida governor desantis getting plenty of backing despite controversy in his home state. is he the clear-cut challenger to former president trump? byron york will give his thoughts. >> mr. president, why do you know about why this happened and

can you assure there will not be a ripple effect. >> sandra: president biden facing the fury of the white house press corps not answering questions, the press secretary says he's giving access. joe concha will tell us why the president can keep the media at arm's length without any consequences. he'll join us. rls, pets are a b. aww. [ audience cheers ] maybe try switching your car insurance to progressive. you could save hundreds. [ audience laughter ] thanks, tv dad. we'll think about it, okay? look what i found. -a puppy! -a puppy! oh, no, no. i wish tv dad was always in charge. [ dog barks, audience laughter ] listen to your tv dad. drivers who switch and save with progressive save nearly $700 on average. realtor.com (in a whisper) can we even afford this house? maybe jacob can finally get a job.

>> sandra: fox news alert, learning new details over the charges of several individuals with close ties to china's government here in new york. nate foy has more from the new york city newsroom. what are prosecutors saying? >> we are learning a lot. fbi, justice department and the u.s. attorney's office of the eastern district of new york have announced arrest of two new york residents for operating in part a secret chinese police

station in manhattan's chinatown. federal officials also claim 34 officers of china's police force have threatened dissidents in the u.s. and spread disinformation on social media. regarding the secret police station, the two new york residents are accused of destroying evidence of their communications with the chinese communist party. they are also accused of helping the ccp try to locate a pro democracy activist who was from china but living in california. the police force is known as the ministry of public safety, or the mps. u.s. attorney says the ccp deployed 34 mps officers to spread disinformation and threaten chinese dissidents on social media. this, he called them an army of internet trolls, suggested the weakness of the u.s. democracy

and foreign policy and even suggested blame on the part of the u.s. for the origin of the pandemic. take a listen to this press conference that is still going on but we pulled a sound bite for you. >> new york city is home to new york's finest, the nydp. we don't need or want a secret police station in our great city. >> sandra, the two new york residents will appear before a judge some time around 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. they are not expected to be detained. again, they will appear some time around 3:00. we'll see the conditions surrounding their release and we'll continue to keep you guys updated what happens there. this information just coming in. >> sandra: nate foy, thank you. john. >> john: retired lieutenant general keith kellogg, national security adviser under mike

pence, and former under secretary of the army and iraq war veteran. read from the press release on all of this, said the prosecution, flagrant violation of our nation's sovereignty. we have seen this movie before, keith. >> yeah, thanks for having me. amazing, it's brazen, clearly. going on before and the past as well. >> john: a big balloon floating over. >> frustrating to me, no accountability of what is happening to any of this and talk about the assault on our sovereignty, look what they did with the balloon and we don't have a plan to counter any of this. and what i mean by a plan, ok, how are you going to address what china has done. both economically, militarily,

we have not done it. the end of world war ii when you had the truman doctrine and contained the soviet union. that was a plan to address china and they keep pushing, they get away with it. >> john: you can arrest in absentia, does the biden administration need to do more to tell xi jinping stop all this stuff. this police station was closed down in the fall of last year after the chinese got wind there was an investigation. but in terms of flagrant violations of u.s. sovereignty, they do it every day. >> violation with the spy balloon, and here the secret police station shut down and what they are doing some believe in tiktok, where they think it's a trojan horse for the next generation. we need to do more as a country. we have done a lot recently, but we need to do a whole heck of a lot more and it's sending a

message, and our allies to send a message, and the undercurrent what's going on at the g7 when you have six of our allies, getting ready for the summit, and the main topic how to counter balance china and what we need do to put pressure on them. they are not just doing it here in the united states, general and john, they are doing it in other countries across this world. >> john: they have eyes on everybody. so there are threats from without, and then threats from within. we had this guy, jack teixeira, sharing all the top secret intelligence on the internet and also have sara bils who is a former noncommissioned officer in the u.s. navy being part of this allegedly social media network that was reposting a lot of this stuff. which brings to mind two questions i have. first of all, how does

21-year-old member of the air national guard in massachusetts get tssci clearance and do we need to do a better job vetting the people giving the stuff to. >> answer is yes and yes. too many clearances out there. and ramp iot an age issue. do you have the need to know to do it. what the american people have to realize, when you do something like this and you potentially injure sources who is actually getting the information, it's those young men and women in the middle of the night getting in the blackhawk helicopter to conduct a raid depending on good intelligence, and the bad guys react to that. i've seen it happen. when we went after soleimani, because of good intelligence on the ground to do something like that. so i'm reaching a point saying maybe we just have too many people with too many clearances and we need to ramp back on

this. genie is out of the bottle. the problem we have, is that right now 75% of the military is under the age of 30 and younger. they are used to doing the online things and they think it's a game, it's not a game, its serious and life and beth business. >> you both had tssci clearance, and do we need to draw in the purse strings a bit? >> we do. 3 million folks with clearances right now. >> john: 3 million? >> 3 million. i agree 100%. make sure who has clearance, why they need it. and we classify too much information, and not just what jack teixeira shared, but other information is classified that shouldn't be classified that you can get off the internet. there is a macro problem we need to dive into, probably in the legislative and executive

branches to get after it. but to this point of the young air man who gave some secrets, top secret clearance, things very sensitive to our allies like south korea, he needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law under the ucmj, uniform code of military justice. >> john: i'm sure he will be. others may not, but -- >> he should be. >> the bloated overgrown bureaucracy that has expanded under president biden needs to be pruned for 75 days. the president has ignored the debt ceiling. speaker of the house, i have a responsibility to tell the nation that that has got to stop. this is not something to be played with. >> sandra: that was house speaker kevin mccarthy pitching his fiscal plan to wall street while warning investors to be more concerned about the debt ceiling as time is running out to avoid historic default that would shake the u.s. and world

economies. as the deadline to raise the dead ceiling nears, president biden refusing to negotiate with republicans, dismissing their efforts to tie a vote to spending cuts. econ panel, steve moore, and robert wolf. all right, sometimes you guys agree, i don't think this is one of those times. let's just start there. but steve, to you first, what should be done here? what is the responsible thing to do? as an economist, what should we do as a country? >> well, i think every economist agrees that the debt path we are on is a catastrophe. you know, we are headed -- now at $32 trillion because biden in his first two years in office added 6 trillion in debt, all time record, and headed to 50 trillion over the next 5 or 10 years. that's a train wreck. it will cause a total catastrophe in the stock market and with the u.s. economy.

so you have to have an negotiation on this, and i've been in this town 35 years, sandra, every time we have reached a deal between republicans and democrats on dealing with the debt crisis, it's always been using the debt ceiling as the kind of leverage to get this done. >> sandra: ok, so robert, ok, first off, i won't take away from you telling us exactly where you stand. can you not find anywhere to cut? >> yeah, i can absolutely find somewhere to cut. his speech was a joke. to use president biden's line, it was a bunch of malarky. president reagan he's talking about going back to the good old days, president reagan increased the debt ceiling 18 times. president trump who steve is a big trumpster, they approved it three times clean. so the idea that we are confusing debt and deficit and budget and debt is ridiculous.

the debt ceiling is about bills we have spent. >> sandra: everybody has that. you want president biden to be more like ronald reagan? >> not everyone has it, we are talking about the clean debt ceiling passed every year. this is -- >> sandra: to biden, let's negotiate. what they are pitching and pitched to wall street. he says, ok, raise the debt limit for a year, but then tie that to several types of spending cuts imposed stricter rules for government social programs and touting new energy policies. so does he think, steve, that he can bring biden to the table with this, or is this just unrealistic to pitch this at this point? >> we have to do something about this, and the debt ceiling is it the only leverage that we have to do this. now, robert is kind of -- you are factually incorrect. i lived through the 80s when it was negotiated, you were there,

you were an economist who helped with obama as you know we had the budget and control act, part of the debt ceiling debate, robert. traditionally when we have gotten into a debt crisis we used this moment to try to solve the problem. and i want to make sure everyone understands what joe biden's position is. his position is just give me an unlimited credit card, let me borrow as much as i want. >> sandra: robert, go ahead. >> not accurate, again. yes, i know the bill very well, i hired phil graham to work for me at u.v.s., so i think i understand it and we are aligned. we have to have debates on budget and deficits. i'm 100% with you, although you didn't have one when trump raised the deficit by 7.8 trillion, 25% the most over any four-year period. i think it's time not to be -- let's have the pay as you go

under obama. >> sandra: i don't know where we got this discussion -- >> why is biden saying he won't negotiate? you want negotiation, i want negotiation, biden is saying i won't negotiate. >> sandra: it's an important question. >> steve, you know, a difference between debating and negotiating the debt ceiling which we have already spent that money. >> sandra: mccarthy is saying he'll do it, pay the bills. talk about spending where we can. >> that's not accurate. he says it has to be tied. steve did not ask to tie it with trump three times. >> sandra: five seconds, steve. >> you are over the debt limit, you have to have a plan to get out of debt, that's all mccarthy is saying. >> steve, steve, wall street is saying pay your bills. >> sandra: appreciate it, robert, thank you very much. steve -- >> we didn't agree today,
