bret: that was good. harris: thank you. brett is my friend. the candidates and pardons have had their say, and now it s your turn. control of the senate could come down to just a handful of states, as democrats are struggling to keep their grip on power. president biden, standing firm on his closing message that democracy is on the ballot. it s democracy when we vote. president biden: plenty of those moments come around every 3-4 generations. we know that democracy is at risk, and that this is your moment to defend it, preserve or protect it, choose it. harris: the president might not be sure that voters are buying this, and more difficult night. president biden: i optimistic, but i m always optimistic. will the democrats win the house? it will be tough. i think the house a lunar eclipse there. [laughter] harris: emily, i m starting with you then. [laughter] emily: at his rally last night, he showed impatience, the inability to take criticism, pushba
not just part of it like some other loans. pay down high-rate credit card debt, consolidate your second mortgage and car loans, and have the security of cash in the bank. the va has granted newday automatic authority. when banks so “no” to a veteran, newday can say “yes.”
year forty-year high inflation, gas prices $1 above where the former president left, and there s a reason why candidates don t want to welcome you, president biden, on the campaign trail. you give two pieces of legislation, but for more of that harris: martha, you and i have talked about energy. you would think that at least some of that infrastructure money could have gone to shoring us up rather than having to tap our oil reserves, and that we will tap heating oil. martha: i am struck by the fact that none of the campaigning is focused on pointing to some infrastructure projects. what happens to this $1.9 trillion? where are these projects? where are the jobs attached to them and why aren t we seeing it in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. take a look at this. the town is thriving because we have all these jobs. the same as flew with the inflation the same is true with the inflation reduction act. people want to see what happens after it passed.
for the republican party prosecuted a case very well on inflation, turned his opponents and said i have a question for you, $5 trillion into the market is what you voted for. do you regret the spending? to which the answer from michael bennet was i regret the inflation. he asked him again and double down. the answer from the democratic party was i regret the inflation but not the cause of it, which i think voters are aware of at this point: it s the spending. i watched it martha: watching it yet put together, what are they talking about? inflation has gone from 1.4% at the beginning of the biden administration to 8.2. that s a very big jump. if you look at the graph, you will see that it climbs steadily and starts to really climb over the past 4-6 months. i did not major in economics, but i remember where they said to go back-to-back periods of negative growth is a recession.
and number of locations having issues haven t been confirmed, and it s not every machine at a location the wait times for you to vote, the longest wait times so far have been 30-40 minutes. they are telling people that it might edge up. i don t know how they can continue that promise through the day and as people start to vote more, but we at least wanted to bring up all the ways they are trying to deal with it, and you brought up a good point. if we knew that this was even a problem and there are always some problems. if democracy is not perfect, but we got through it. we are america! if we knew we were going to have an election, did we enough? i agree with bret. everybody knew this was coming. you have a secretary of state, a board of elections on every state. we ve been doing rehearsals on all of our equipment. not to say something won t work
