The u.s. in 2017 spent 6.8% on interest Payments why does he think that will grow 800% in the next 10 years. That seems like a pretty extraordinary claim.

Might be just discretionary spending which doesn't include stuff like social security. Tax cuts ballooned the deficit and Fed increasing interest rates also doesn't help.
