howard: laura fink, i get that james carville and lawrence o'donnell are as part san as they come, butrs are all over biden and karine jean-pierre but not donald trump, i'm sorry, are we living on the same planet? >> i think that james carville in particular has a history with the rhythm of the press, and we know the press loves a scandal. they love add fuel to the fire, and they love to cover it. and that's true whether you're talking about republicans or democrats. i find the notion that somehow there is this liberal press and that there is a deeply financed conservative media whose job it is to create and to focus on so-called scandals. i think that the conservative media is fired up about this, and i think that this is an example of the main stream media doing their job. and i don't think that there's anything wrong with that. however, i do also think he was to be in touch with -- they have to be in touch with where is substance, where is the beef, where is the actual crime. what is the justice department doing antibiotic. and instead, we are focused on all of the other sort of anc

on the other side, i watch enough lawrence o'donnell to know there's such a thing as a must-pass bill default on the debt limit, we go into a deep, deep recession or worse. so how does kevin mccarthy manage to with a lot less skills than john boehner, pass a debt limit bill without getting recalled? >> i think that's the big question with this motion to vacate the chair as a weapon essentially looming over his head, especially with the debt ceiling, that's a real issue and unfortunately i think with a senate -- a democratic led senate and democratic white house, it will require a few moderate republicans likely to stand up and say, we will not let the full faith and credit of the government be threatened. again, i think a few members have talked about that. brian fitzpatrick has mentioned they would do a discharge petition should it come to that scenario, but one thing i want mention, there are a lot of things that are concerning to say the least, but there are some positives that are worth mentioning. the end of proxy voting. i'm hope fell, maybe i'm being a super optimist, but it wi
