>> the mood on capitol hill is kind of wait and see. last week the house was out. senate was in a so a lot of my discussions were set with senators based around kind of waiting to see what happens. on the republican side they've been differentialha to the house and speaker mccarthy saying that the conversation belongs largely behind him and by demand we've seen mcconnell follow suit. >> and the democratic side they've also kind of been waiting to see what happens. leader schumer and house leader jeffries have been saying they want a clean lament following in line with what the white house is saying, but you've also seen some worries. things are really going to get moving there so last week i had to different conversations with lawmakers about the 14th amendment, which is sort of a legal theory that under that amendment, the biden administration could lift the ceiling on itself and leader durbin said, stressed the catastrophic effects the default could have and said the two options essentially and i also spoke with of the judiciary committee members and former ag's,

so paul took the job at capitol hill.ix years later, at the age of 28, he entered congress from wisconsin. as a member of congress we swear an oath to be worthy of the office on which we are about to enter. i believe few individuals have upheld this oath with honor, integrity and the energy paul did in his 20 years in congress. for paul, politics is at its core a battle of the ideas. he believed lawmakers should tell the voters what they believe in, govern based on those beliefs and persuade voters if you needed to change course he came to washington to build and america based on eternal ideas of freedom, opportunity and posterity. that in doing so he also had the confidence and character to listen to the other side. he even -- even when he passionately disagreed. beginning as budget chair he showed why a conservative agenda based on this freedom and the idea of opportunity were successful. paul showed us the path to prosperity and a better way. early on, paul warned about the threat of the national debt. i remember in 20

what else are you watching for an capitol hill? guest: i will be watching some of these china hearings. there is a hearing of the china select committee that's happening on wednesday night focusing on economic issues in the u.s.-china competition. i'm interested in that and the g7, there's a lot of big topics there. host: the week ahead in washington is our focus for the next few minutes if you want to call in. this is a democrat from altoona, pennsylvania. caller: good morning and thank you. what i see in the week ahead is the same thing, the ability to continue to disagree and see the debate happens more and nothing gets accomplished. we are losing our faith in anything happening because it doesn't. all there is is things left hanging and then no accomplishments. let's get down to not bringing up everything that is priority right now. there is debate against the parties and let's get the issues accomplished. it's almost like we have to go to what we do in the simple daily life, have a list of what we are going to check off, get s

these are live pictures of capitol hill.ys of these weekend, the team finalising a bill. we have a few of the details beginning to trickle in of this deal and the framework that has been put in place. there were few sticking points between democrats and republicans. among them, these requirements forfederal requirements for federal packages. these requirements forfederal packages. these were work repayments that the democrats were against and republicans were against and republicans were pushing to have some sort of requirements attached to federal aid programmes and it appears many of those requirements have not been put in place. the president apparently fought policies that would have taken away healthcare, that would be medicaid and, and what he said would have pushed people into poverty. the agreement does not include any changes that would have changed medicaid and that has 21 million americans on that programme. also a programme called snap, involving food aid and apparently limited to no requirements for that. detail

standing by with us on capitol hill chat.ear from the speaker in what 10 10 minutes or so just about 10 minutes or so 9 10. eastern time is when the president is when the speaker i should say will come out of his office on capitol hill. he's been there most of the day. he has been meeting with a lot of his top lieutenants, including patrick mchenry and garret graves. the top gop negotiators here and then at 9 30. there is going to be a conference call with all republican members to kind of socialized this and explain what is in the bill. again they don't have built text yet. we don't know what's going to be in the bill. i'm told that they only have some of this written . the hope is that they would post it later tonight and maybe vote as early as tuesday night. but we think that that vote may not come until wednesday, and then they have to move it through the senate. that's why this may take until next weekend, which is, you know that's really crashing up against that deadline job. i imagine there will be some disappointed la

today -- bitterness of the partisanship on capitol hill today. i think that comes from some sources outside of the congress, but it is part of the culture of the place itself. part of this book is a plea for legislators to direct their energies towards solving the problems that face the american people. closely along without problem is leadership dominance is one of the major themes of the book. right now we are in an era where the leaders in both chambers, the speaker of the house and the senate majority leader are incredibly powerful in determining what is on the agenda in each of their chambers. they have not always been such absolute gatekeepers. there has been more decentralized powerat times -- power at times in congress's past,. it is up to you to determine the structure congress. you can make things more decentralized. host: you write in the book that the w the congress is cuently structured tends to reduce the complexity -- it opposes coalition building that would force factionto see each other as allies. instead leaders marshall the int

what did you see going on and capitol hill in those meetings? guest: the problem has become so big so when you try to solve it with a comprehensive solution it tends to collapse under its own weight. that is one of the things we have seen. we are much more encouraged by taking a more pragmatic approach to the problem, but let's combine something to increase border security with a piece to reform the illegal immigration system. and let show republicans and democrats and be american people that we can actually make all grace on this complicated issue -- can make progress on this complicated issue. we want to solve the whole thing and one big comprehensive bill, that is the thing the new york times talked about and that takes a lot of effort that produces no result. that is what we cannot afford to allow to happen. host: the headline on the piece tracking two decades of failure on immigration. it that is where you can find it on new york times. and you can call in and speak with neil bradley. you can do so. up forced -- up first, -- are you with us

precarious on capitol hill right now. neither party at least publicly is budging from their positions. democrats continue to insist the debt limit be increased, that the country's bills must be paid, that it's non-gauchable and republicans are promising they won't do that unless democrats make policy concessions to them on the conservative side. speaker mccarthy yesterday told reporters bluntly that negotiations are not in a good place now. today, democratic leaders are raising the volume saying senator mccarthy needs to stop kowtowing to his extremists and work on a reasonable solution. here's what pete aguilar had to say about that. >> i'm incredibly scared. with where we are. and this republican led default has us all scared. we want to make sure we don't get anywhere near that but at this point, speaker mccarthy needs to tune out the most extreme members of his conference and work with us. >> now some of this could simply be expectations setting before a potential compromise. we often hear the volume go up a lot befor

overall, starting to get a little concern to your capitol hill capital hill.that people were just flexing their muscles. like ralph norman and others, publicly and behind closed doors and on the telephone saying we do not like this bill. some will kind of air their grievances and then come back and say, all right, we have to vote on this bill. i was told by one source earlier today, they have not made the case this way on the republican side of the aisle. a vote against this bill is a vote against kevin mccarthy. the source said that will undercut kevin mccarthy and it will also result in a default. that is a pretty bad option here if you are a republican. this is where kevin mccarthy has to exercise his muscle to demonstrate to his members, you know, he is in charge, key is running the house, he defers a great deal to him something that kevin mccarthy has talked about extensively in his short speakership here that they can call the shots, but not everybody will get everything. kevin mccarthy has done a little bit in the past 24 hours or so to dampen expectati

the debate continues and it's now on capitol hill. support reparations, when asked, should the government pay money to black americans whose ancestors were slaves, it's not popular. those that say they should not, 65%. those who say they should, 28%. where do you stand, charles? >> charles: no, you know, that's -- it's a bad idea and at this stage of the game it's a poor excuse. i mean, listen. obviously to this day racism exists and it does harm black people but it's not something that is so insurmountable that it should be the main focus. you know, when you went to break, one woman said our vote is for sale, you should be in a transactional relationship with people you give your power to. voting is not power, it's the ability to give someone else power and trust they will do the right thing. unfortunately for black america we have voted for the wrong people for so long they have taken us for granted for so long and they don't believe in us. the people that we give this power to give us back watered down education, so our children ca

senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is up on capitol hill. good evening, chad. >> bret, good evening. g.o.p. negotiator patrick mchenry says the pressure is on. he says there is not much flexibility to get a deal. >> there's a sense of understanding from both teams that we have serious issues still to work out come to term with. that's going to take tom same. >> there is worry of a potential default. fitch in the ratings arm negative watch as the debt ceiling deadline creeps closer. but even that may not spur a deal. >> if do you not have a deal worthy of the american public, you should be worried about that. i'm not. >> house speaker kevin mccarthy may not feel the heat from fitch but he may feel the heat from fellow republicans. conservatives learned that a perspective deal between the president and mccarthy could raise the debt ceiling by several trillion dollars. that's not what the house approved last month. >> idiotic for anybody to consider anything than what we had. >> you say idiotic that's a pretty strong term toward a speaker. >> t

get from capitol hill. do you see things improving there? i do. i do see it on national. this blower centers as work closely with politicians with congress in washington dc. siri nelson is now the executive director of national was the lower center. and by working with these politicians, we're hoping to make the culture better for whistle blowers in fact person. and by needing came out after the anti money laundering bill was passed, instead whistle blowers are critically important for national security and for our economic development. so if you have people saying things like that, john, why are we holding whistleblowers up as the people of integrity, honesty encourage that they are, and that includes you, john, or tell us a little bit about uh about pending legislation on capitol hill. you know, we, we've got a national whistle blower protection act it. unfortunately, national security whistle blowers are exempt from its protections. but the f. b, i has made some inroads. there. is there other legislation that you're working on or fighting for to protect whistleblowers

carl, i know you've seen a lot of these capitol hill negotiations. i don't know if you've ever seen anything like this today. but do we have any idea or any sense about why the republicans left and why they came back? carl: i think there's a perform active aspect to -- performat vivamente-of-ive aspect to this. the republicans need to show they're fighting for everything they can. the speaker is under pressure from the right, the freedom caucus, hard right conservative element of the house republican majority has already said they won't vote for anything that's -- until the senate approves the house bill which won't happen. but i do think there's -- so some of this is to show we're tough and this is how congressional negotiations go. up and down. up and down. but there are some real differences. and how -- how you cap the spending, what spending exactly you cap, how long those caps go. the contours of the deal are there. but getting the details is hard. and i think that's what they're doing right now. but they got a few days still to work it out and

because they had spent so much time on capitol hill, they knew government. harry truman was the last american president before ford who could get up in front of a room full of reporters and introduce the annual federal budget, because he knew it backwards. in early 1976, to be perfectly blunt, the campaign advisors around or had a unique conundrum. how do we demonstrate to doubting voters that this guy is smart? they hit on his hail mary. the federal government was a whole lot bigger than it was in harry truman's day. it was a really risky thing to do. ford said, i would like to do that. so they got like 500 people in the state department auditorium. ford gets up and says, it will be different this year. he gave a little talk. 56 questions, all of which he was able to answer. he didn't need help from any of the experts behind him. the problem is, it is one reason why he looks better and better in retrospect than he did at the time. he wasn't eloquent. he wasn't witty. he knew government inside and out. susan: so, i want to get one thing out of the way. that
