biden, gene sperling will join us. neil cavuto will also be joining us here. first, the story from hillary clinton live at the white house. hi, hillary. hi, martha. when it comes to the state of the economy, president biden does not think things are that bad. he also does not think that any world leaders believe that america is going down the wrong track. they do not think that. you haven t found one person, one world leader to say america is going backwards. i can understand why the american feel are frustrated because of inflation. inflation is high in almost every other country. a recent poll suggests a lot of americans are not happy. a poll says 69% of people disapprove with how president biden is handling the nation s financials. the u.s. inflation rate is not lower but higher than some major economies in the world including italy, canada, germany, france, japan, saudi arabia and china. republicans say the reason for high prices is not a mystery. we know why we

step up and help us with the influx of immigrants crossing illegally into our country. we have thousands of people coming in every single day. we have women and children that have been through abuse, that have been through rape as well and the dangerous journey the biden administration continues to encourage. this must stop. we ask the biden administration to come to south texas and see what his policies have done to us in south texas and what it is doing to our country as well because it is not just the influx of people coming in. it is also fentanyl coming into our country killing our youth, the future of this country. harris: representative flores, henry cuellar is more conservative at times democrat. how are they even leading on this issue at all in any of the states. how are the congress people? you hear him talking there. what would you say to him? it s clear that the biden administration doesn t care
cuellar, is a democrat down there, can t get anybody in his party to say who he s allowed to be who he is. aoc coming out after him. we ll talk about that next time. representative flores, thank you. thank you. god bless you. martha: so florida governor ron desantis is a gop favorite to run for president in 2024. now he appears to have the backing of podcast giant joe rogan. what he did for florida, a lot of people gave him a lot of grief but ultimately he was correct. martha: our political panel joins us after this.
