looks like he had a bit of a heads up. new photos from the event shot president appearing to, once again, rely on cheat sheets to answer questions. here s a closer look. you see the president holding a note card with instructions to call on l.a. times reporter courtney. for the first question! it goes onto outline her exact question on semiconductor manufacturing and foreign allies. just watch how that scenario played out live. now, we re going to take some questions. first question from courtney from the los angeles times. thank you, mr. president. your top economic priority has been to build up u.s. domestic manufacturing in competition with china but your rules against expanding chip manufacturing in china is hurting south korean companies that rely heavily on beijing are you damaging a key ally in the competition with china to help your domestic politics ahead of the election? emily: the l.a. times now denying any wrongdoing after yesterday s presser telling f
generous including some about job creation, deficit reduction and inflation. he sounded tone deaf on fentanyl crisis. seemingly to forget his open border policies fuelled the problem. he pushed for bipartisanship. he went after republicans and accused party sparking booze and heckling the most ruckus state of the union speech in history. here are some of the highlights. we are going to need oil for at least another decade that can exceed and beyond that. we are going to need it. some republicans want medicare and social security to sunset. i am not saying it is a majority. 25% of entire national debt took over 200 years to accumulate added by one administration alone in the last one, they are the facts check it out. check it out. fentanyl killing more than 70,000 americans a year. you got it. it is your fault! kayleigh: hard to know where to start. we are going to need oil for at least another decade. come on, sherlock. perhaps perpetuity. small victories unintended b
