A) Freedom Caucus Chair Perry on Fox on debt ceiling: It's interesting how the date keeps moving out to give them more time to try and come to a deal unless they can pass a bill in the Senate

McCarthy: I feel closer to an agreement now than I did a long time..But if it's not there yet. We continue to work to make it right..there was no goal there. Look, I will get it when it gets right. And I don't want people to use like a deadline.

McCarthy on debt ceiling: This bill will not be thousands of pages. This this bill will probably be anywhere between 150 pages or less. It will not be a long bill. But I think 72 hours is important.

Dem NC Rep Don Davis on Fox on GOP pushing for work requirements in debt ceiling deal: Work requirements in place and in many cases this already taking effect..expanding these work requirements..has raised great concerns.

McCarthy on if he can get all GOPers to vote yes: Do you ever think you're going to get every single member to vote for it? I don't get every single member to vote for the first one. I didn't get every single member to vote for me for speaker. So I think you're raising the bar.
