this delta variant wave of covid-19 from shutting down our small businesses, our schools and our society. you know, when we first got to office, covid-19 crisis and economic crisises with unrelentless and devastating for people. as a nation we didn t have the tools to deal with either. nearly 4,000 americans were dying each and every day through the virus. 4,000 a day. the economy had been wiped out. we were down 10 million jobs from where we were before the pandemic. we were in a dark winter. with real concerns about what spring would bring. but then we got to work. we passed the american rescue plan sharortly after i was swor in and rebuild our economy and produced results. to beat the pandemic, we ramped up testing and protected equipment and we brought we
leaves off. you cover the markets, do they share the optimism that larry kudlow shared in that sound bite. that s what happened in the bomb market and it is as signal that a recession is coming. we had the 2008 financial crisises. when investors saw the inverted yield curve, there was a massive sell-off. to that point julianne as well. i want to get your thoughts. larry kudlow is trying to strike optimism. i don t know anyone have a fear of optimism. are we over reacting as a society to what should be an optimistic outlook? not at all. he s beating that s what he s
protected this man. it s a dramatic scene. the points you re making about taiwan, i was in the strait in the 90s, the last time there were live fire exercises across the strait. we sent a carrier group. i went half a mile away in the south and watched how in the middle of one of the worst crisises i guess that was the worst military crisis potentially between the mainland and taiwan in decades, the american fleet was in the middle of it. there were fishing expeditions back and forth across the strait because the southern mainland fishermen and the taiwan fishermen and these villages were exchanging fish in the middle of the waters to go back to taiwan to be traded and to be consumed there.
attention, and it should capture everyone s attention, that it is a tragedy that a father and daughter died, but no one on the stage tonight is talking about the own father s responsibility, parents in general, and i will take it a step further. at least two democrats on the stage tonight, beto o rourke and cory booker, they both served in congress, o rourke, a former house member, booker, a current senator. they are blaming the president for the death of this father and daughter when they have been and were in congress and did virtually nothing about the border crisis.es i will say cory booker at least, a few months ago, we checked the record, he did say it s a crisis and his party should not deny it s a crisis. but in fact, when you look at it, nancy pelosi called it a fake crisis. chuck schumer said it is a crisis that does not exist.. look at people in the media. don lemon on cnn a few months ago said this was an imaginary latin american conspiracy put together by the president. la
