thanks green one more on the Trump P what did the president do with it you keep it I have no idea like saving it for the a Christmas pres for his least favorite staffer or something oh wow I'm just well you thought about that one least favorite staffer I don't know maybe it's on my desk right now I don't know okay on a heavier note uh about the economy there's a a new analysis by the Republicans who are on the Congressional joint economic committee uh they looked at seven Battleground States and according to their analysis the average household is paying uh for the same basket of goods and services on average about $1,000 more per month compared to January of 2021 and the numbers are pretty Stark in places like Nevada and Arizona it's almost $1,200 a month Georgia it's $ 1,75 a month North Carolina 17 has President Biden's policies positioned the vice president poorly in these states uh to win this election so I'm not going to get into the election I'm just not not going to get into her path to Victory and what it does for it is just not something that I'm going to speak to from here what I can speak to is where we are now inflation core inflation has gone down that is important to note because of the work that they've been able to do you see CRA uh gas prices going down almost 50% that's important uh you see wages are rising faster than prices are nearly uh 16 million jobs created and what I will say so we have done the work uh to see progress progress in fighting inflation and lowering costs uh and but we do understand we're not I hear the numbers that you're telling me we do understand that there is more work to be done there is there's more work to be done and that's why we're going to do what we can to lower a cost uh by investing in record energy production for example building 3 million new homes capping prescription drugs cutting taxes for the middle class middle class this is a president that talks about building uh building an economy from the bottom up the middle out and not leaving anybody behind and we have to talk about what congressional Republicans are trying to do raise raise costs by nearly $4,000 for the middle class that's what they're doing uh they're cut they want to cut Social Security and Medicare while giving breaks to billionaires and corporations that is such an unpopular thing to do and they continue to want to push that forward they won't stop talking about it they want to Social Security Medicare we went through all of that yes we did we in the midterms we went through all of it there were we saw flyers and and plans from uh leaders of the Senate of the Senate uh uh Senate Republicans we saw that we saw the back and forth with the president at two well at two uh state of the unions where certainly he pushed back on that and made them say he that's not what they wanted to do but that's what they were saying they wanted to do they wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare they've been very clear this is this is not just the last three and a half years this has been for some time now and they want to get rid of the inflation reduction act that none of them by the way voted for that beats big Pharma they want to get rid of that that's going to lower cost for Americans we're talking about important drugs Cancer drugs diabetes we're talking about capping insulin at 35 bucks a month for seniors that pay more than 400 bucks you Hader say that we've turned the page on inflation but American families aren't feeling that to the point where the vice president didn't even directly answer the question in the debate do you believe that Americans feel they're better off than four years ago look we have we have made progress in fighting inflation that is something that we have seen from the numbers from the data that is a true in in in truth right um I believe the the VP highlighted on how we are better off on how on off now as as well as her plans to build on that progress that is something that she talked about how are we going to build on that progress uh and you know I said this moments ago we got we can't forget what this Administration inherited an economy that was in a tail spin that's what we inherited it was paralyzed because the former president did nothing did nothing during one of the once in the century pandemic he did nothing Donald Trump did nothing we took action on now on and now our economy is stronger than ever we're out out competing China that's something that we did let's not forget when we took over violent crime was at was uh was we saw violent crime murder at its highest in the former presidents last year and now it's at a 50-year low because of the work that we did and it started with the American Rescue plan again no Republicans voted for it they didn't want want to vote for something that had money for local local communities local police enforcement to actually have the funding they needed to get more police officers they didn't vote it just say yes to that question you're going to have to speak directly to her team what I saw as she laid out how to build on the progress that we've made that's what we saw that's what she's talking about that's what she talks about building on the progress that we have made we had to fix we had to fix what the Trump Administration did
