Soft and america has beaten back the unprecedented economic challenges of the global pandemic and the ensuing disruption to the economy. It is proof that the biden economic recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. Especially given the mess he inherited from trump and the u. S. Outperformed every other country on earth. Trump like so many republicans before him has enjoyed a pulling advantage with voters over the economy. That may be changing. Multiple polls in recent weeks suggesting harris is closing the gap and possibly even leading trump on economic issues.

Thank you my friend as always. Great show. Today started with what should have been bomb shell news. From the wall street journal. Last monday, jd vance s team contacted officials in springfield, ohio to fact check claims about haitian immigrants eating pets. The springfield city manager told vance s people pointblank there was no verifiable evidence or reports about immigrants eating pets. The city manager told vance s team that the claims were baseless.
