joining us now white house principal deputy press secretary olivia dalton. great to see you. i know not much sleep last night. we just played some moments there where the president had spent much of the speech calling for bipartisan solutions, and that was the reaction a lot of republican heckling and jeers, even one member from the back shouting that it was his fault that there have been deaths caused by fentanyl. so now that is what the republicans response is does the president still think he can work across the aisle? well, look, i think you heard the president last night speak clearly, energetically, effectively to the american people about his vision on building and continuing on that progress in the future. the president is an optimist at heart. he is also somebody who believes deeply in our ability to get big things done when we work
anybody in good faith to talk about ways to lower the deficit, but that needs to be a separate conversation. we cannot have a situation where house republicans are getting away with hostage taking, hostage taking on the economy in order to cut social security and medicare. so we ve had a lot of discussions in recent days about some polls that have come out that show that the american people, despite the legislative record that the biden white house can show them, don t feel like the president has done enough. they don t feel like especially on issues of the economy that what the white house has done has broken through. so how do you change that? if the message hasn t landed yet, obviously last night s speech helped. you guys are going on the road starting today. how do you change that approach so americans do start listening? well, you know, you said it, john. last night the president had an opportunity to speak directly to millions of people about the progress that we re starting
