.SpeakerMcCarthy uses 'Schoolhouse Rock!' to teach basic lessons on government. READ:
"I expect the White House to invite the prime minister over for a meeting, especially with the 75th anniversary," he said. McCarthy led a bipartisan delegation, including Rep. Steny Hoyer , to Israel as it celebrates 75 years since its founding in 1948. This also marks McCarthy's first international trip as House speaker. McCarthy became the second House speaker to address the Knesset after former House Speaker Newt Gingrich did so in 1998 to mark Israel’s 50th anniversary.
"I think two great nations that have strong bonds should continue and work together. I've invited [Israel] President [Isaac] Herzog to come and give a joint session inside Congress. We're working out the day that could come very soon. Hopefully this summer," he said."I would invite and set with Hakeem Jeffries, who is the Democratic leader, and we would do it in a bipartisan way," McCarthy said.
Biden has refused to meet with McCarthy over raising the debt limit, arguing that Congress should pass a"clean" debt limit bill. Meanwhile, the House GOP passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act last month, which would raise the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion or until March 31, 2024, whichever comes first. If lawmakers fail to reach an agreement, the United States will default on its loans, triggering a global economic crisis. But Hoyer was adamant that won't happen.
