those margins exist among republicans. there could be some that might say this could contribute to inflation or not help the economy in one way or another which are a lot of what you re hearing from republicans. it would be good for republican leadership to get something done but we ll see exactly what this would look like. and joe biden would love to move into the re-election campaign saying, hey, i proved i can get things done. he ll have the by paipay pipart infrastructure act. the economy is growing. wages are up. all workers, including women, have access to jobs, education, training and support they need to seize the opportunity. the united states, still one of the only countries in the world that doesn t have paid leave. i remain committed to bring us
actually maybe a good sign. so you have something over the weekend quite remarkable. the cia director talking about a warning to china, what his agency has learned about china. connect the dots for me. you just heard iranian-made drones over kyiv and now bill burns, the cia director, saying we have intelligence, and, china, don t do it. we re confident that the chinese leadership is considering the provision of lethal equipment. we also don t see that a final decision has been made yet. it takes a process to even say that. some people would say he didn t say much. for the cia director to say that publicly takes a process. why? this is part of a strategy. it s like an actual policy and strategy by this white house to use intelligence to declassify it, to release it publicly in order to affect the decisions of adversaries. so in this case it s designed to deter china.
