in venezuela is a sign of panic because they realize that right now, you know, once we run out of oil in the strategic petroleum reserve, you know, inventories are going to plummet. prices are going to surge. this is a sign of desperation. you know, they re giving up american values about democracy to deal with this guy. and it s really a sad state of what s going on right now. david: it doesn t make sense. the venezuelan oil company used to produce 3 1/2 million a day and now it s 600,000. they don t have any oil to give us, they have to use it at home. it is and chevron is sending over their people into that country to try to triple their oil production while here at home we re restricting oil production on u.s. lands, where it s condon a lot cleaner and better. to make this kind of a move is really counterproductive and really doesn t help the u.s. situation. david: and by the way, perfect example is what s happening in the gulf.
no one does this. you look at other countries, countries where these people are coming from. when i was on the border in arizona there were folks from russia, folks from the middle east. they are coming from all over the world. none of those countries would ever allow this to happen. yet we allow 2 million plus the gotaways, the known gotaways are over a million. we are looking at 3 1/2 million people in the last calendar year. it is insane. dana: congressman mark green we ll pay attention to the hearing today and we understand kevin mccarthy said he might have an announcement about secretary mayorkas this afternoon. we ll pay attention. thank you. thank you, sir. house republicans say they will investigate the fentanyl crisis in the new session of congress in january. kentucky republican james comer saying that president biden s policies have fueled the amount of the deadly drug pouring into the country and promises to hold this administration accountable. mark meredith on that li
from pelosi to mccarthy is a big moment. the last congress pelosi had a small majority and witness what she was able to get accomplished. you cannot underestimate the power of that gavel and i think republicans laid down a marker this morning. there will be significant serious investigations. if you go back, i think it is joe biden made definitive statements that he never had a conversation with his son, hunter, about his foreign business dealings. we know that s not true. a vice president would never leverage a billion dollars of taxpayer money to get a prosecutor in ukraine fired and turns out his son is being paid millions and he goes on good morning america and admits he has no experience at all whatsoever. we know in russia we have the former first lady of moscow and know about the 3 1/2 million dollars but also $1 hundred million investment she made into
now we may be in the very scenario that you paint, christine, where companies are slowing or freezing hiring. we ve seen large companies make those public announcements when workers are really ready to get back into the workplace. and so for the fed it s really managing this timing. they d like to see the labor market loosen because they don t want wages to spike up so much that they can contribute to inflation. there s your alarm. wake up. that s all right. what we re seeing is so interesting in the job market, but we want to see it start to cool a little bit, right? cool down a little bit. i mean, we re looking at 3 1/2 million jobs created this year. that s a lot of jobs. the average is something like 438,000 a month. you want to see these numbers start to cool. that would be a good thing. right. you d like to see just a more a still solid wage gains. i push back against the notion that the fed really wants to see a big uptick in the unemployment
