Joe: GOP Spent Like 'Drunken Socialists.' Now They Refuse To Pay For It.

need to deliver joe biden i think colin allred of texas said we need to deliver joe biden to victory and i think that's what a lot of democrats feel now what progressives would say is we have time to deliver him a victory and it doesn't have to be right now so um those are the very complicated dynamics that are coming out at this moment meanwhile in the senate senate republicans are making good on their promise not to vote to raise the debt ceiling every senate republican yesterday voted against a measure that would fund the government and make sure the country does not default on its debt republicans argue democrats should pass it themselves through reconciliation because the gop doesn't support future spending bills so let me make it abundantly clear one more time we will support a clean continuing resolution we will not provide republican votes for raising the debt limit there's no chance republicans will help lift democrats credit limit so they can immediately steamroll through a socialist binge that will hurt families and help china the republican party has now become the party of default the party that says america doesn't pay its debts keeping the government open and preventing a default is vital to our country's future and will be taking further action to prevent this from happening this week we certainly know republicans are raging hypocrites especially so in the era of trump and we uh obviously are still in the era of trump here or here's a party uh that spent like drunken socialists you talk about socialists this republican party spent like drunken socialists over the past five years they racked up record levels of deficits record levels of debts the bills at donald trump and mitch mcconnell approved the budgets the largest budgets in the history of the republic let me say that again the republican budgets were the largest in the history of the republic and ran up record deficits and record debt and that's the bill actually that has come due now we're not talking about what happens in the future we don't know what's going to happen in the future you don't default at your bank for debts that you may accrue in the future you default because of what you've already done and right now jonathan lemire this is trump debts this is mcconnell debts this is mccarthy debts this is the republican party's debts again during their socialist spending spree the lord by the way if they're calling people socialists right like trump is calling people socialists mcconnell calling people socialists hey socialists are big spenders right well the republicans spent more let me say this again i know this is hard for people to figure out republicans spent more money on budgets over for trump years than any president before lbj fdr you name it jimmy carter bill clinton you pick the democrat you pick the person that was lied about being called a socialist republican spent more money and so now they don't want to pay their own bill and they say we're not going to pay their own our own bill because democrats are socialists let me ask lemire when we go to fenway can we try that like can we order a whole lot of food and like the emc club and just have them if they let us in and just pile the food up and just keep piling the food up a thousand tooth bring us your best wine i want that whiskey hey bring us an ortiz signed jersey we get a 50 000 bill okay and it's just stacked up high and then they come and they go mr lemire here's your bill can can we turn and say we're not going to pay this because barnacle's a socialist well first of all what mitch mcconnell that's what mitch mcconnell is doing right now that's what the republican party is doing right now they're telling americans they're going to let the country default on its stat which would be economically devastating because they're not going to pay their own bill well first of all we would need barnacles help to even get in that club you and i can't get in on our own so there's that um i think that this is the argument that democrats have been making correctly that this is debt that was racked up uh under president trump there's a debt here from both parties and of course the republicans have voted to raise the debt ceiling repeatedly uh when when a republican was in office and democrats have done that when a republican was office so there is the extraordinary and accurate claim of hypocrisy here that the nation could default for the first time we have heard the warnings in the financial markets we heard treasury secretary janet yellen say uh the other day how devastating this would be for the us and its global reputation and its economy at home were this to happen and it's simply it's the republicans and where we all who do this in washington and new york and watch this we sometimes fall into the game of sort of just like admiring or sort of noting mitch mcconnell's tactics that oh he knows how to play the game uh and that may be the case but it's also it is hypocrisy and it should be called out as such uh that he won't do uh not just on this but so many issues uh you know he won't put the good of the country first it's always politics and tactics uh and now this is a time of crisis and it just adds to the what's on the plate for those in congress and complicates matters here with the reconciliation bill with the infrastructure bill uh with the threat of the government potentially shutting down uh early morning friday and i know there is some belief people that i've talked to that there will be a temporary solution to avoid that at least there's some cautious optimism but there is a lot here and a lot of things could go really wrong uh and there's a lack of trust among the parties involved and when you play it this close to deadline you're walking this thin of a tightrope there is a chance that something can go wrong certainly white house officials that i've talked to are nervous about this and we should expect president biden to more forcefully interject himself into all of this in the coming days hey thanks so much for watching our youtube channel you can follow up on today's top stories and
