Loss to talk about 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: nothing ever, panic about giving you. 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: Better analysis than anyone else while defending this great nation 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: every single day. It's the Steve Growers Show. Here are 9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: three big things you need to know to start this day. 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: Number one, what will Joe Biden do in his last 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: four days in office? Yesterday he took credit for a 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: ceasefire in the Middle East and a deal to get 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: hostages released, but everyone knows it was really Donald Trump's 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: reelection and ultimatum that got it done. Number two, Joe 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: Biden about to leave the White House with the lowest 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: approval ratings that I've ever seen, thirty eight percent according 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics. 18 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: He gave a farewell speech last I honestly I didn't 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: watch it. I didn't I don't care. 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: And number three, the left is going wild this week 21 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill, and honestly, it's not been a good look. 22 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: We've been watching it. Of course here. 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: In fact, I think It's fair to say it's been 24 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: a borderline frightening look at times. The left seems it 25 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: never seems to fail to vindicate the right. 26 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: When they go wild like this, people like go, oh yeah, 27 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: that's why we didn't vote for you. 28 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: The left does, however, flail quite a bit, moving about 29 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: wildly shouting is to disrupt Congress and deny President Trump's 30 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: nominees a fair hearing. The Love fails for this very reason, 31 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: over and again, for it's indecent and anti democratic, and 32 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: everybody sees it. 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: It's ugly. The love fails to see. 34 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: How bad it looks, for how good Pete Hegseth or 35 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: Pam Bondi or Marco Rubio end up looking. By comparison, 36 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 1: each nominee is a model of poise and become elevated 37 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: to the dismay of Democrats like Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, 38 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: Richard Bloomin, Dahal Mazie Hurano, and Dick Durbin and all 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: the rest of this dishonest driven party hacks on the left. 40 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: Each nominee is and has been resident. 41 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: And sound, much to the frustration of Democrats in general, 42 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: as they say they haven't laid a glove on them. 43 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: Each nominee is worthy of confirmation, which is why Democrats 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: are angry, or maybe maybe panic, there is a better 45 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: word for it. Right now, each nominee has thus far 46 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: proven worthy of his or her role in defense of 47 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: the defense itself of a strong America individual with liberty 48 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: and justice for all, which is to say, Pete Hegseath 49 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: will transform the Defense Department, and hand Body will reform 50 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: the Justice Department. 51 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio will remake the Department of State. 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: All three nominees will seek to do what is right 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: with firmness in the pursuit of individual right. That's the 54 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: disappointment of the left and the Democrat Party. You see, 55 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: everything else's noise, a distraction, which is really what the 56 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: left wants. Distractions instead of civil disagreement, of constructive and 57 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: responsible opposition by the loyal opposition. 58 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 2: The left is, well, they're uncivil, they're not loyal to you. 59 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: They're loyal to themselves, their paychecks and whatever they can 60 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: scratch out of the the money to be found on 61 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. Instead of a civil discourse and the free 62 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: exchange of ideas, the left despises freedom, denounces competing ideas. 63 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: Instead of civil debate, or of addressing the merits, the 64 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: merits of an argument. The loft promotes hate, hates anyone 65 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: who promotes merit based hiring, and smears them. You know, 66 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: it's all for show. It's an ugly performance, and it's 67 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: all for show. They get up there to give speeches 68 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: and to take digs and try to throw out gotcha questions. 69 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: Start with the left. Hatred of Pete Heiksett. This week, 70 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: the Left and Action they were interrupting him. 71 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: And here's the thing about these protesters they didn't talk 72 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: much about. They're violating his right to be of a speech, 73 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: to have his confirmation hearing. 74 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: They were seated in guest seats. 75 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: The protesters inside these hearings didn't get there by by accident. 76 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: They were seated by I would assume members of Congress. Right. 77 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: That's what happened, and it's the true face of the left, 78 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: contempt for Christians, hatred toward Israel. Here's the Left on 79 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: January the fourteenth, according to its vision of January the sixth, 80 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: unruly and unkempt, no regard for peace, no respect for 81 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: the rule of law, and no respect for decorum. Code 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: pink with a yellow of cowardice, attacking, he says faith, 83 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: I think he's an enemy of America. 84 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 85 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: Thank you for figuratively and literally having my back. 86 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: I want to thank the authorities for the swift reaction 87 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: to that outburst and state that that interruptions will be 88 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 4: treated in like manner. 89 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: Accountability and readiness. 90 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 4: Mister Heath's suspends remarks. Let me just say this, the 91 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 4: Capitol Police are going to remove immediately individuals that are 92 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 4: disrupting the hearing. I see a pattern. 93 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 2: Attempted to. 94 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 4: Be inflicted on the committee, and we're simply not going 95 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 4: to tolerate that. 96 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: Roger Wicker, he handled that entire hearing, by the way, masterfully. 97 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: He didn't get rattled. Hegseth didn't get rattled. 98 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: It's just the shrill, noise and nonsense of chaos presented 99 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: by the left, and they're like, oh, thank you. 100 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: Then again, not everyone should be in the Senate case. 101 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: In point Lives with Warren, she combines the arrogance of 102 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: a Harvard professor with the malice of a political prosecutor. 103 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: Her question of heg Seth was a disaster that ends 104 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: to mean kind more like a disastrous show trial with 105 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: the room Gee fifty of the Dirkson Senate Office Building, 106 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: serving as Warren's old classroom at Harvard Law. Hegseeth acquitted 107 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: himself with ease, dispatching Warren with brevity and making her 108 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: look silly. 109 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 5: Here it is women do not belong in combat.

You and I agree on the corrosive effects 113 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 5: of the revolving door between the Pentagon and defense contractors. 114 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 5: It's something I would have liked to talk to you 115 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 5: about if you'd come and been willing to visit with me. 116 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 5: But the question I have for you on this is, 117 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 5: will you put your money your mouth is and agree 118 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 5: that when you leave this job, you will not work 119 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 5: for the defense industry for ten years? 120 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 4: Senator. 121 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: It's not even a question I've thought about because it's 122 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: not about right now. It's not one my motivation for 123 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 3: this job. 124 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 5: I understand yes, time is short.

It sounds like in Gaza. If it holds. 150 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: We've gotten the Lake and Riley Act. It's going through 151 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: and some other great pieces of legislation. And Donald Trump 152 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: isn't even in the Oval office yet. Just wait until 153 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: he is. I'll be right back. It is the failed 154 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: messaging of the Democrats, it's been going on for a decade. 155 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's awful, Donald Trump's. 156 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: A fascist, Donald Trump's this and that and everything else, 157 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: and a horrible human being. And the end result was 158 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: it failed, and Donald Trump was reelected, as you well know, 159 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: and is probably the worst messaging the effort by or 160 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: anybody ever. The Democrats beat and beat and beat the 161 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: same drum for ten years and lost and lost. And 162 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: instead of saying, well, let's have some introspection that's kind 163 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: of reflect on what we've done here, No, instead of 164 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: doing that, they come after Donald Trump's nominees with those 165 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: same sharp knives that were completely ineffective over the last decade. 166 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: They don't get it, they don't learn. Democrats made the 167 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: same mistake with Pam Bondy. Adam Schiff tried to badger 168 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: and belittle her.

America will have one tier 199 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 6: of justice for all. 200 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: Unlike Pam Bondi, Marco Rubio opposes the anti democratic actions. 201 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: Of terrorists and jihadis. 202 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: His opening statement was arousing defense of first principles, for 203 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,599 Speaker 1: putting America first without forsaking our allies. He said, But 204 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: Tony Blinking could not or would not say that Israel 205 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: is right and Hamas is wrong, that moral equivalency between 206 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: the two is evil, That Hamas is responsible for the 207 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: October seventh attacks, that Hamas is guilty of mass murder. 208 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: That Hamas must release the hostages, all of them without concession. 209 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: President Trump, like Rubio, clear about the stakes, and like 210 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: President Trump, Rubio refuses to temper his words to appease 211 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: the enemies, and just like that, he refuses to weaken 212 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: America or betray our interests. Here's Marco Rubio. 213 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 7: Let's see piece of it was offensive. Let me explain, 214 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 7: and I think I don't need to explain to this committee. 215 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 7: Hamas carried out an atrocious operation. They sent a bunch 216 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 7: of savages into Israel with the express and explicit purpose 217 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 7: of targeting civilians. They went into concerts. They went into 218 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 7: these music festivals, they knew that there were no soldiers 219 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 7: at the music festival. They knew that these were teenagers 220 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 7: and young families. That they went into this, into different 221 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 7: communities and the kibbutzs and the like, and they deliberately 222 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 7: targeted civilians, deliberately. It was there. In fact, they kidnapped 223 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 7: the ones they didn't murder, the families who they didn't eviscerate, 224 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 7: the people whose skulls they didn't crack open, they kidnapped, 225 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 7: and to this day continue to hold people that the 226 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 7: innocence that they took a deliberate operation. In the case 227 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 7: of Israel, responding to that attack, has had to go 228 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 7: after Hamas. How can you coexist, How can any nation 229 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,599 Speaker 7: state on the planet coexist side by side with a 230 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 7: group of savages like Hamas's. They have to defend their 231 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 7: national security, in their national interests, as I pointed out 232 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 7: in my opening statement, and so there is no more 233 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 7: and they didn't target civilians now, sadly and unfortunately, and 234 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 7: I'm sure we'll discuss it further some of the other 235 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 7: questions that will come up here today. One of the 236 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 7: horrible things about war, it's a terrible thing about war, 237 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 7: and it's why we should try to prevent it at 238 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 7: almost any cost, is that innocent people are caught up 239 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 7: in it. And that's true of every conflict on the planet. 240 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 7: But there is a difference between those who, in the 241 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 7: of armed action, deliberately targets civilians and those who do 242 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 7: as much as they can to avoid civilians being caught up. 243 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 7: Against an enemy that doesn't wear a uniform, against an 244 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 7: enemy that hides in tunnels, against an enemy that hides 245 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 7: behind women and children and puts them at the forefront 246 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 7: and uses them as human shields. That's who Hamas is. 247 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 7: There is no moral equivalency, and I think the ICC, 248 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 7: if they don't drop this, will find its credibility globally 249 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 7: badly damaged. And I think the United States should be 250 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 7: very concerned because I believe this is a test run 251 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 7: for applying it to American service member and American leaders 252 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 7: in the future. 253 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: Now he's referring to the International Criminal Court. Boy, did 254 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: he lay out the case right? Pete Hegseth Pam Bondi, 255 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, the first of the nominees to come to 256 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. They have the intelligence to defend our rights 257 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: to wisdom to promote our interest. They have the confidence 258 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: to inspire change, to lead by example instead of leading 259 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: from behind like we've done for four years or more 260 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: if you consider Bronck Obama's time in Washington, they have 261 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: what Washington needs excellence experience after four years of in 262 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: confidence and lies. We deserve actual leadership in all of 263 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: our departments. At the Pentagon we need Pete Hexa, At 264 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: the DOJ, we need Pam Bondy, And at the State 265 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: Department we need Marco Rubio, Secretary of State. 266 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: That's where we are. 267 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: President Trump deserves to have all three in his administration 268 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: and more. All of these folks deserve to be confirmed 269 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: without delay. If we are to make America great again, 270 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: we need to help President Trump, and President Trump is 271 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: to succeed, he needs leaders who share his vision. 272 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: Of America and for America. 273 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: First, They've all proven they have that, all of them 274 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: and more to come. 275 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: Confirm them all. 276 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: That's what the American voters voted for on November the fifth. 277 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: Confirm them all, give us real leadership. Those are my. 278 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: First thoughts today. We've got a lot of ground to 279 00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: cover today. I've got Congressman Ralph Norman coming up. I've 280 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: got a little tip on your health coming up. If 281 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: you've got a New Year's resolution, we'll talk about that 282 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: as well. Still to come on the Steve Rivers Show. 283 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: It was a very big day on Wall Street in 284 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: case you missed it. You see, they came out with 285 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: a consumer price index higher than expecting two point nine percent. 286 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: I think it was the inflation rate that came out yesterday. 287 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: Food increasing again, and that triggers positive reactions on Wall 288 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: Street because they say, well, great, the Fed's going to 289 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: cut interest rates again. 290 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: We'll see. 291 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: As I told you here, I was talking to a 292 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: banker here a couple of days ago. Last week, I 293 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: guess and I said, how are mortgage rates? They must 294 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: have been doing better, hecaud know. They're back up to 295 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: seven and a half percent of the average thirty year 296 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: mortgage seven and a half percent. 297 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: Ouch. 298 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not going to move a lot of hoigh. 299 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: But if you bring the interest rates down again, maybe 300 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: it does. Wall Street very positive. The now up more 301 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: than seven hundred, the Nasdaq for sixty s and p 302 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: more than one hundred and seven. 303 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 2: So good stuff here. 304 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: By the way, take this and put this into your 305 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: fact sheet if you will, consumer prices up over twenty 306 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: one percent, up over twenty one percent since Joe Biden 307 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: showed up on the scene. Yeah there, it is over 308 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: twenty one percent since Joe Biden showed up. And that's 309 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: remarkable for the six major grocery store of food group 310 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: indexes rose in December again. 311 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: Gasoline increase four point four percent. 312 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: All items not including food and energy up in December 313 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: as well.

Good Lord, the pete hegseth confirmation hearing was 342 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: so far off the rails. 343 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: I mean I learned a lot. One thing I learned. 344 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: If you're going to get insulted by Democrats trying to 345 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: smear you as some sort of a wife beater or 346 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: a drunkard, that Mark Wayne Mullen, that's a guy I 347 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: want in my fox hole because he can tackle an 348 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: oak tree and not get a scratch. Joining me now, 349 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: Ralph Norman from South Carolina has been in the House 350 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: for a number of years. 351 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: Tyger's been welcome back.

What a circus. 356 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I know you watched this, but you have 357 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: got to be as mortified as the rest of America 358 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: when you watch these Democrats come completely unhead. 359 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 8: Well they've been that way, Steve. Look what they did 360 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 8: to Supreme Court justices made up of drug uh you know, 361 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 8: the drug witnesses in that were basically just lying. And 362 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 8: it did surprise me. But Mark Wayne was exactly right. 363 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 8: I mean to call him out. For them to even 364 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 8: suggest asking the questions, it's a it's a laughing stock 365 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 8: if it wasn't so serious. And he was right. I mean, 366 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 8: the senators, let's look into their background, Let's see how 367 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 8: much they drank, Let's see how many affairs they've had 368 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 8: exactly see how that, see how that works out with them? 369 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: Well, there's a slush fun in Congress that came out 370 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: a number of years ago. It's pretty well known now 371 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: millions of dollars paid out to sexual assault victims, the 372 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: people that have accused members of Congress of doing you know, 373 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: unspeakable of tawdry things. And the American taxpayer apparently gets 374 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: to foot the bill. I mean, and these folks want 375 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: to sit there on the on the high ground and 376 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: lecture Pete Hagsath did pretty crazy to me. 377 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 8: They have no shame, I mean, really to listen to 378 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 8: it now. Luckily, you know, Hegseth is smart enough, he's 379 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 8: got the background, he knows what he's doing. The military 380 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 8: is is his mission in life, and he will do 381 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 8: a fantastic job. And I think they now realize who 382 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 8: they were up against. And his comment, I think it 383 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 8: was to Elizabeth Warren that you know, she was asking 384 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 8: me about, you know, should generals not go into contracting 385 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 8: and the work, and his comment, I'm not a general 386 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 8: shut her down exactly. I'm gonna shut the others down, 387 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 8: all right, So let's talk. 388 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: And it was beautiful he did that. The whole place laughed, 389 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: and as well they should. I mean, here's a woman who's. 390 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: Faked being, you know, a Native American for advancement in academia, 391 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: to get a job as a professor. 392 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: You've got these other folks that have done all these 393 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: different things. 394 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, Tim Kaine looked like he had just come 395 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: off a two week bender and he's talking about people drinking. 396 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: Good Lord, Thomas Hayre, Yeah, you might want to comb 397 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: your hair. You look like a clown. All right, let's 398 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: talk about this. 399 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: In a couple of days here, Donald Trump will be 400 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: in the Oval office. The problem with that is that 401 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: in your house, that'll mean two hundred and seventeen Republicans 402 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: to two hundred and fifteen Democrats, because three of your 403 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: colleagues will be on to bigger and better things if 404 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: you will, it's tight. 405 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 2: Can the House get things done? 406 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: I know that you've been a voice out there in 407 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: the wilderness, sometimes standing by yourself sometimes because you stand 408 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: on principal right. How tough is it going to be 409 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: for this House to move forward and stay united? As 410 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: a Republican Concker. 411 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 8: Well, those saying if it were easy, everybody would be 412 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 8: doing it. But here's the good news. Here's what We're 413 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 8: so blessed to have Donald Trump in office, who he 414 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 8: is sitting down with everybody. I was in Marlago on Friday. 415 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 8: He had a full house, then he had a full 416 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 8: house Saturday and Sunday end. He's bringing people together. Everything 417 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 8: starts with the conversation. He's got a a that he's 418 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 8: laid out, and he knows he's on a short time frame. Steve, 419 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 8: I know he's got four years, but really he's got 420 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 8: twelve thirteen months because when the midterms hit, people in 421 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 8: elected office do strange things to be in office. So 422 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 8: I'm optimistic on his main goals. He really wants his 423 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 8: debt ceiling, you know, raised so he's not held hostage 424 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 8: by Chuck Schumer. He really wants border control, he really 425 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 8: wants a military that does his job to protect the country. 426 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 8: And I think leading the pack will be those things. 427 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 8: Now he's got to have the offsets. 428 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: To go with it. 429 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 8: These stupid ev mandates, the incentives that they gave the irs, 430 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 8: money that was out there, the student loan, tobaccle, all 431 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 8: that's got to be repelled. And we're the Freedom caucas 432 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 8: is coming out with a letter of suggested things to 433 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 8: lead off with, and I think Donald Trump will do that. 434 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to national security, and this 435 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: has been something that. 436 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: Has been you know, it was mopped in first. But 437 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: it is not something to mock. It is dead serious. 438 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: You know. 439 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: I go back to my middle school days. I thought 440 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: it was the worst thing in the world when Jimmy 441 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: Carter gave away the Panama Canal for a dollar in 442 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven. I believe it was. It was a 443 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: foolish thing to have done. We built that big ditch. 444 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: It is more strategically important than the United States than 445 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: any other country on Earth. And now we've let Panama 446 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: take over, who have basically given all this power to 447 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: the Chinese. 448 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 2: That can't stand. 449 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: And secondly, Donald Trump wants Greenland, and he should want greenland. 450 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: People are like, well, that's ridiculous, ha ha ha. No, 451 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: this is serious. And by the way, we bought the 452 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: Virgin Islands from Denmark. We can buy Greenland from Denmark 453 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: just the same, can't. 454 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 8: We We can and get this. He hasn't even taken 455 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 8: oath of office yet. And the fact that he's had 456 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 8: holding press conferences, which with the current press of Biden, 457 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 8: not only could he did not hold a press conference, 458 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 8: he couldn't survive one because he can't read a thank 459 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 8: you note. But the bottom line is the things that 460 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 8: he's proposing, buying Greenland, think about negotiating with him, think 461 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 8: about He went on and put out that if a 462 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 8: mos has not released hostages, all hell will break loose. 463 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 8: And he hasn't even taken office yet. That's the kind 464 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 8: of leader, and that's the kind of man that he 465 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 8: backs up what he says. He did the previous four 466 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 8: years and he'll do it the next four years. So 467 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 8: it's going to keep the house together. To answer your question, 468 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 8: I think we will get together. I think everybody we're 469 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 8: free spirits over there. We have each each and have 470 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 8: different concisiencies. 471 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: Some more free than others, I might point out, But god, 472 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 2: you're right there. 473 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 8: But look in my world, the number one cancer in 474 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 8: America is the debt. 475 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: We cannot continue spending. 476 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 8: And that's what got me so frustrated with Mike Johnson, 477 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 8: with you know, after the elections that we still had 478 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 8: a fifty four hundred page fifteen hundred page document and 479 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 8: given twelve hours to read. That can't happen again. No 480 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 8: spending that should take place without offsets and thirty four 481 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 8: three and is just not some figment of my imagination, 482 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 8: and I'm simply not gonna leave that to the younger generation. 483 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 8: I've got interns in my office now that should are 484 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 8: gonna be left with a insurmountable debt, grandchildren, children, and 485 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 8: we have to that's the cancer we have have to stop. 486 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 8: So to that end, we will work for the next 487 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 8: two years and then hopefully with Trumpet to him, we'll 488 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 8: get this thing under control and get the country back 489 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 8: on the rails that Biden has failed miserably at. 490 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 2: He certainly has failed. 491 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: Although he released a letter now saying that the economy 492 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: is great and that, and then all of sudden the 493 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: inflation numbers come out, and the inflation numbers are up again, 494 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: and the stock market goes wild because they're like, great, 495 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna have an interest rate cut because inflation is 496 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: too high. 497 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 2: Again. He has no command of the situation. 498 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: Look, and what we know now, Congressman, is he never 499 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: has not since twenty twenty. They knew then that he 500 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: was not fit for the job, and he has not 501 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: been fit for the four years since.

That takes time, 673 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 10: not only from a physical aspect, although it's a pretty 674 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 10: cool return. You can, you know, treat your body horribly 675 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 10: for fifty years in three to six months you can 676 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 10: look completely different. But what I found is if I 677 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 10: can wrap my you know, mind around their mind and 678 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 10: you'll get them in you know, the vicinity of like 679 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 10: minded people. 680 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 9: Six to twelve months. 681 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,479 Speaker 10: You know, they not only again have meeteror exceed their goals, 682 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 10: have the body health, energy they want, but they've got 683 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 10: the skills of discipline, mindsets so they can keep it 684 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 10: for the rest of your life. And again that's you know, 685 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 10: what good is it to get in shape and to 686 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 10: go back and stay in that cycle of lose weight, 687 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 10: game weight, lose weight game weight. My biggest goal for 688 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 10: my clients is number one, what they want, what's important 689 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 10: to them, but that they're able to exceed those goals 690 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 10: and then most importantly keep it for the rest of 691 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 10: their life, just like I did. 692 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 9: You know for the last twenty three years. 693 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: The number one thing, my friends, that you can do, Russell, 694 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: tell you the same, make the commitment to your health. 695 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I want to live to be one hundred 696 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: and twenty five years old and has to do that 697 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: with health.

Rush, 699 00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. 700 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 9: Thank you, Steve anytime, bro Man. 701 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 2: All right, that's that's it for Ross. We'll be right 702 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 2: back on the Steve Riverers Show four days to go. 703 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: And so I asked this question, seriously, did you watch 704 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: any of it last night? Joe Biden apparently gave his 705 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 1: farewell address at eight o'clock last night. But apparently if 706 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: and look, I assume this is true, it was on tape. 707 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: Apparently they had a little snaffo queuing it up at 708 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: the top and shows they had to click play, and 709 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: which would make sense. Maybe it's true, Maybe it's I 710 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: don't even care live or on tape. It's irrelevant because 711 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is irrelevant to me going forward. 712 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 2: The lost presidency. 713 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: To me, that's what it is, the lost presidency, the 714 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,760 Speaker 1: COVID years, the COVID presidency. Joe Biden's about as popular 715 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: as COVID right now. By the way, Real Clear Politics 716 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: has his average at thirty eight percent, Joe Biden's approval 717 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: rating at thirty eight percent, and some of them as 718 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: low as. 719 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 2: Thirty five percent. Yeah, it's it's crazy bad. 720 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: By the way, the approval of Trump's transition very positive 721 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: in the fifties. 722 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 2: So that's going well. 723 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: Let's see here, here's a CNN poll resident Biden job 724 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: approval thirty seven percent. Congressional job approval sixteen percent. We'll 725 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: see if that improves. Sixteen percent is all. They have 726 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: a little bit tough there anyhow. 727 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 2: Joe Biden thirty eight percent on his way out the. 728 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: Door, and you know there he goes.
