i mean, the situation there is there aren t words. the devastating. there are no words i don t know if it would describe it. you think about how many people died. 17,000 people. think about that. good morning, everyone. we re so glad you could join us. we hate to start your day with terrible news. but what you were just witnessing, was a miraculous rescue, children pulled from the rubble days after a catastrophic earthquake. but time is running out to find survivors. we ll take you live to this disaster zone. the staggering death toll just keeps soaring in turkey and syria. also, this overnight, senator john fetterman is back in the hospital. doctors are making sure he didn t suffer another stroke. we ll bring you the latest. president biden is going on a cross country blitz after his state of the union address. the next stop is florida. we re going to speak to the state s republican senator rick scott. he is the gop leader president biden accused of wanting to cut
and how some republicans are trying to use it as leverage. so wouldn t it basically subject social security and medicare to these potential extortion tactics by republicans down the road? we have $31.25 trillion in debt f you care about preserving medicare and social security, we ll figure out how to start living within our means. there will be day and time we can t barroworrow money. i ve been clear all along. so what i want to do is get rid of wasteful programs that we never review up here. they just get passed. nobody ever looks at them. which ones? say again? which programs? there is a variety of things. we don t review anything. when i was governor, there were 4,000 lines in the budget. er year i went through the budget. are we getting the return on your tax dollars? i mean we don t have unlimited
