The Area's Top Politicians Talk Show for the 10th Year Volpe Report U.S. SPEAKER, KEVIN MCCARTHY, JOINS SHOW With little time to spare, the U.S. House of Representatives in late May averted a financial catastrophe when it voted to increase the nation's debt ceiling limit, which allowed the government to continue to meet it's financial obligations. It was in the House, where the impasse existed. Central to moving the legislation, was U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California), who had been negotiating for months, including dealing directly with President Joe Biden at the end, to strike a deal to prevent a government financial collapse. In a politically divided Washington, the legislation's passage was seen by most observers as a victory for McCarthy, who earlier this year weathered opposition in his own party as he carved out a path to the Speaker's gavel. f FOX 56 SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:30 AM Speaker McCarthy will talk about the bipartisan effort to avert the financial crisis, as well as dealing with the troubles with some hard Right members of his party who make up the Freedom Caucus. They are currently holding up the House Rules Committee, effectively blocking any legislation. This pebble in McCarthy's shoe is similar to the one former Speaker Nancy Pelosi had with the far Left radicals in the Democratic House known as the "Squad", who held up Biden's Infrastructure Bill for a year.
