SI Cover Model Martha Stewart, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, & House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries 5/17/23

As debt ceiling discussions in DC near their default deadline, Squawk Pod delivers two conversations with two of the four debt ceiling negotiators: House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). Both discuss the progress made in their latest meeting with President Biden and the critical piece of bipartisanship: avoiding a U.S. default. Plus, entrepreneur and author Martha Stewart talks about gracing the cover of the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, building a sprawling business empire, and creating content for TikTok, all at 81 years young.
