positive thing, and senator mike braun glad rick did it and another said he was on board with the congressional g.o.p. plan. congressman matt gaetz was proud of rick scott for the bold agenda. quite a range of republicans, but there is not an alternative plan they have put forward. either this put together by the person leading the effort to win back the senate or nothing, and the president talked about what his plan is, if they have an alternative plan, we would well come it forward. they say there is one coming this summer and senator scott said a majority is not behind him, this is his individual plan for this. i do want to ask as well, the department of justice was very swift in responding to school board members who felt like they were being harassed and intimidated a couple months back. did the president feel that the demonstrations outside of, say, justice alito s home, are those attempts to interfere or
have done everything they can to slow down. jesse: all the republicans fault, you see? joe creates problems and blames republicans for not fixing them. democrats control the white house, the congress, and the senate, but, if you are stupid, which joe biden thinks you are, you will agree and blame republicans, too. agree with joe and just act like his economy is a smash hit or biden is going to start calling you an ultra maga right winger. americans have a choice right now between two paths. my plan, tax inflation and grows economy but lowering costs for working families. the other path is the ultra maga plan, put forward by congressional republicans. to raise taxes on working families, lower the income of american workers. jesse: joe biden s policies have raised costs for the american family and a year later now he says he has a plan to
then jen psaki said oh, nobody saw this coming. the president today trying to deflect saying look, if you think our plans are not working, look at what the republican plan would do. listen to what he said. their plan is actually made working families going to make working families poorer. you don t have to take my word for it, it s in writing. they have made their intentions perfectly clear. senator rick scott of wisconsin, a member of the leadship laid it out, ultra maga agenda. john: first of all, rick scott is the senator from florida, and secondly, it s not a congressional plan, it s a rick scott plan. he s not even up for re-election, he just wanted to put something out there, it was denounced by the majority of the republican leadership mitch mcconnell said it s not our hand. i think he might have been
