opposed say no, no. the opinion of the chair. the ayes have it. the bill calls for suspending the debt ceiling until january 20th, 25, clawing back $30 billion in covid relief, rescinding $20 billion in irs funding, ending the federal student loan repayment freeze in august and adding new work requirements for some americans on food assistance, ice, the white house and house republican leaders now sprinting to stir up support our senior team made individual calls to all house democratic leadership members from all across the conference shared their support for this important bill in the senate. though top leaders chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell are backing the deal. there are breaks in the ranks. i have a lot of concerns about this agreement. it's about taking food away from people who are hungry. i think the biden mccarthy debt deal is a disaster for the country. a final house vote is expected later tonight. the bill needs

218 votes to pass, so look for the white house and congressional republican leaders alike to continue whipping up votes until the last minute. rhiannon all right, justin, thank you. north korea is acknowledging a major setback, a failed attempt to put what's believed to be its first spy satellite into space. us officials are calling it a huge embarrassment for kim jong un, saying the rocket carrying the satellite essentially blew up in the air and plunged into the water as abc's martha raddatz tells us, neighboring nations were rattled. the japanese government sent warnings that north korea may have launched a test missile and urged people in okinawa to take shelter immediately. the us embassy in japan repeated those warnings in seoul, south korea, warnings were given over public address systems and phones, telling people to evacuate, but later said that was sent in error. and so far no reports of damages or disruption. north korea is
