also come together on immigration. make it a bipartisan mission once again. a major theme in last night s state of the union, president joe biden calling on a divided congress to work together and pass legislation on several key issues. however, some members of the gop decided to make a scene during the speech heckling the president over the budget and the border. and then there was george santos who found himself in a tense exchange with of all people republican senator mitt romney. we ll show you what romney had to say about the freshman congressman who s facing multiple legal investigations. good morning and welcome to wail on this wednesday, february 8th. i m jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. president joe biden delivered his annual state of the union address last night before a newly divided congress. speaking for just over an hour, biden touted his administration s accomplishments while repeatedly stressing that the job isn t finished yet. h
greene called president biden a liar, that is when the president was talking about republicans wanting to chip away retirement spending for social security and medicare. we also some some yell from republican lawmakers when president biden was talking about the fentanyl crisis in the u.s. saying we should close the border and one lawmaker even yelling out it s your fault. while we did see a lot of pleas for bipartisanship in the speech, there were those moments of bitter parsonship when we saw republican lawmakers try to stand up and interrupt the speech. and house speaker mccarthy had warned republicans not to do just that and yet some didn t listen. 12 different times president biden said for the congress to let them finish the job as the nation comes out of the pandemic and tries to repair the economy. but it also felt like as much as that s an earnest repeal for bipartisanship, it s also a trap republicans have laid.
