Biden and Kamala Harris Campaign Ed for him, the very latest NBC News poll. Do you approve of how or what the president is doing, hes under water on that, as you can see right there, but the more damaging one is the fact that is the country headed in the right direction, and seventy one percent of Americans say that we are as we change the polls there. It is right there look at that, the upper right hand corner its in red, because thats a warning number and its terrible for Joe Biden and the Democrats. Seventy one percent think were on the wrong track, Ainsley. That is unbelievable. Seventy one percent that includes Democrats too on the wrong track, Steve and think about all of the Democrats in Congress who are pushing this gigantic. These two gigantic spending bills, as they look at seventy one percent say were on the wrong track. Is that going to help Us- and the answer is probably not Ainsley well, think about you? Have Afghanistan, leaving Americans behind enemy lines and our allies back? There also think about whats happening down in Texas and our southern
border, letting people in saying were thinking about paying the four hundred and fifty thousand dollars Steve. What about gas Ainsley the economy? To your point, thats on the list in Virginia on Everyones list, your electric bills are going up, we cant get supplies, we cant get Christmas presents and people are worried about that and crt in our schools. Thats. Why education is such a big deal, because you have one candidate that says no were not teaching crt, but parents show evidence of where CRT is being taught there with you trust Mcauliffe. If hes saying us not being taught, and we have examples where it is being taught and then he comes out and says because web he was ahead. Two months ago, parents shouldnt be involved in our kid s: education, Steve Wrong Answer, Brian. So a couple of things I dont want to hit you within too many numbers, but thirty seven percent say Joe Biden has the ability to handle a crisis. Forty seven percent says he doesnt, only thirty seven percent say hes, competent and
effective. That is tragic. Then twenty eight percent says hes knowledgeable and experienced, and this is the scary part. If youre a Democrat, the GOP against the Democrats, the GOP ranks higher by twenty seven points on the border on inflation, twenty four on crime, twenty two on national security, twenty one and the economy. Eighteen on getting things done, they have a 13 point advantage if youre a Democrat, whether its the New Jersey Governor race, which it seems to be that closing at the last minute or in Virginia or you wonder, whats going to happen in twenty twenty two. Well, you cant pass a spending bill that only thing youre doing is asking your party to vote for something the president of your party wants. They look absolutely like. They are thrashing and im, not saying they arent going to get something done, but the fact is that they missed four cutoff dates that they put out there and pulled back on tomorrows dates to have a vote. I think this is the utter definition of CHAOS Steve yesterday, as they wrapped
up the g 20 in Rome, they had press availability and given the host of as Ainsley depicted the things that are going wrong at one point, one of the pre selected reporters, apparently who was Ainsley? How many were there? Five Steve? I think five one of the questions was, Mr President, why do you think America is back on the world stage? Because you know everything is going the wrong way for you at home? Also, you know when it comes to the supply chain thing. A lot of people are worried about Christmas. A lot of people are worried about fabric and its not coming anytime. Soon. Here is what the president had to say where hes talking a little bit about look the reason its hard to find people is because theres so much demand so thats, a good thing right, heres, the President in Rome, because theyre able to negotiate for higher wages and they like to move from one job to another thats. One of the reasons why a lot of people dont want to continue to do the job they did before, making seven eight nine
bucks an hour. So what youre see the desire of people to be able to change professions to be able to do more and take care of their families and, at the same time, dealing with an issue that, in fact, we are short of workers, but worker pay has actually gone up and weve employed six million people. Just since I got elected so employments up, the economy is actually, in spite of all of this still growing and youre, going to see continued economic growth under our proposals, Brian, I mean his explanation, hes absolutely winging it. The fact is: hes had a chance to address the border. Excuse me, the ports and the numbers have gone up by twenty extra shifts. It went from fifty four to seventy two shifts in the LOS Angeles port, and that is the place that was supposed to work twenty four hours and begin to alleviate the backlog. This, at the very least, you know what the american people want at the smallest and greatest level to know you care and are Hustl Ing, to try to get something done, theres, no indication that he is
so then reelect, your transportation secretary, who didnt tell anyone in the public he was taking off for two months for paternity leave and then a commerce secretary, both of them, had tried to explain the continued glut when it comes to our ports and goods. There are definitely going to continue to be issues, especially as long as the pandemic continues right. If you have, for example, the third largest container port in the world in China, shutting down because of a covid outbreak in late summer, youll feel that in the fall here on the West Coast now were taking the actions that we know we can you cant just turn the economy back on overnight. So its takes a little bit of time. People say to me: will Christmas gifts be delivered, to which I saw CALL Fedex that isnt, what the government does? What we are doing- and the president is committed to this- were using every tool in our tool box to be supportive to help to unstick the ports
Steve for her to say you cant turn the economy back on overnight. Remember Joe Biden ran on, I can do a better job. Getting the country out of the pandemic than Donald Trump did. Okay, he got the job and obviously, at every turn it looks like the White House is coming up short. They did not forecast the demand. They did not help. Employers get people back to work and, of course, there are so many people who were not working thats. Why there is a supply chain problem arent enough driver arent enough warehouse people arent enough people to stock the shelves, its just a vicious cycle- and you know for her to say about your Christmas presents. Dont blame us, blame Fedex, its all part of a larger problem. That starts with the federal government, Ainsley yeah and TIM Scott Senator from South Carolina. He said if you are the Secretary of Transportation, and you want to solve this problem, you need to fly out to the port. You need to sit down with everyone find out what the problem is and solve it. He said his mother was a single
mom struggled to put food on the table for their family. Inflation really hurt her, so go solve, it go fix it. He says they are just commentators. They say this problem will last.
