It's that time. When a Republican Congress and a Democratic president face off over an archaic procedure known as the debt ceiling. You've probably heard about it, so we decided to do a deep dive to understand what's going on in the next few weeks and months as the radical Republicans in the House hold the world's economy hostage to their demands for cutting Medicare Social Security and defense. To dig into this topic we turn to one of the sharpest voices on the intersection of economics and politics, Catherine Rampell, a syndicated columnist based at the Washington Post. She's also a economics and political commentator for CNN.Today’s Bill Press Pod is supported by The International Association of Fire Fighters.

The Republican House majority, controlled by the crazies empowered by Speaker McCarthy, seem intent on driving America and the world over a financial cliff over the debt limit. But Real Clear Politics Associate Editor and Columnist A.B. Stoddard, argues they're also driving themselves over a cliff as well. She joins Bill today to dissect the “agenda” for House Republicans, and how that agenda helps the crazies raise money, get hits on Fox News, but turns off moderate Republican voters and independents. Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by the American Federation of Teachers, those men and women doing God's work teaching our children.
