speech that you would traditionally expect from not actually a former president because they normally stay out of politics in general,from someone like trump who is trying to help the republican party win in 2022. so it will be an attack on president biden, on his policies, a policy attack will trump will claim his policies are too radical. i ll be curious to see if he does that or if he goes off script and talks about the audits that we were talking aboutin arizona, in georgia, potentially pennsylvania, about how the election was stolen. if he talks about don mcgahn and mike pence. that is the key question for me. all right. thanks to all of you. and on the upswing, what is behind today s new jobs numbers and how the white house is framing the outlook. ook. voiceover: riders. wanderers on the road of life. the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no destination.
voters are telling them that they don t like the fact that republicans want to take away their health care, and they don t like the fact that she said there is going to have to be increases in age for benefits. increasing the social security, exactly. those are two huge issues. you talked about how policies are on the ballot. absolutely they are on the ballot. the republicans are very, very worried. when balderson said in that debate couple of weeks ago on social security and medicare, it provided a huge change in the internal polling. they saw a massive flip. and the president came in and tried to stabilize it. but that policy attack really hurt. yep. speaking the truth on that issue is not something that pace off for anybody, democrat or republican. april, these results, though, again, early. and they both are agreeing. you tend to lean democratic because of those early votes, those absentee votes. right. what do you make of it? the question is will the vote, the earl
