Um yes, desperately. Also i want to call the police but maybe youre the police. Yeah. Just incredible. Thank you, my friend. Well done. Well done. And thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. Tonight we are going to be joined live this hour by the person who is fast becoming one of the most familiar faces and voices of the new administration, jen psaki, white house spokesperson is going to be our guest tonight. Even though were only one week into the administration, i can show you this many pictures of her conducting different White House Press briefings because we have daily White House Press briefings again. She does these every day. Under the Trump Administration, they started out bad until they disappeared entirely. They seemed not to be able to handle talking to the press every day and bring questions. But immediately day one, President Biden brought back the briefings and jen psaki is the spokesperson. They started reversing things that were broken by the previous presiden
Every day and bring questions. But immediately day one, President Biden brought back the briefings and jen psaki is the spokesperson. They started reversing things that were broken by the previous president as they set to restore some of the basic things that had gone by the wayside over the years like daily briefings.

What surprised you the most in researching this book .

If you were interviewing a candidate for the presidency like you were doing a Job Interview what questions would you ask and what with the first question be and i assumed the traditional answers i would get would be id ask about character or id ask about decisionmaking in the one i got that surprises me that kept coming up again and again was what is their ability to build a team and
We are ready to go now. Take it all for joining the first remote hearing of the subcommittee on select revenue measures. We find ourselves in challenging times as evidenced by this new method of conducting Community Business in accord with the Public Health and safety recommendations. But the challenges we encounter here in congress are small compared to what i hear and see and what i am sure all of you here and see in our communities. Im glad we can move forward into the work that our constituents need given the difficult economic situations in which so many find themselves. The covid19 recession has laid bear the economic struggles of millions of American Families with almost no warning the shutdown claimed tens of millions of jobs, and American Workers and families felt the ground ball from under them.
