If the Republicans in the House do present a plan for conditions for what they would raise the debt limit under, will you start negotiations with them on that plan? What would be the point of them presenting you with a list of demands?”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, what I’m saying is they want to cut, cut, cut, but they are — they’re just saying this rhetoric that’s incredibly dangerous, that is very dangerous to our full — the full credit and of — of our — of our country. Right?

Think about — when you think about the debt ceiling, when you think about the debt limit, it is something … when it comes to the debt limit, the debt ceiling, it should be done without condition. That doesn’t change anything. I’m just laying out how they’re proceeding here. It’s such in a reckless way. And so, we’re just calling that out. But it doesn’t change where we stand. It doesn’t change the fact that we are not going to negotiate here.
