Actions. Mr. President , enough is enough. Innocent americans are dying and you only have yourself to blame. Fulfill your oath of office. Reverse your policies, end this crisis, and stop up the suffering. Sadly we know that President Bidens failures dont stop there. His reckless spending. Doug our economy into a hole and sent The Cost Of Living through the roof. We have the worst inflation in 40 years and the highest Credit Card Debt in our nations history. Let that sink in. HardWorking Families are struggling to make ends meet today, and with soaring Mortgage Rates and sky high child care cost, theyre also struggling to how to plan for tomorrow. The American People are scraping by. Well, President Biden proudly proclaims that bidenomics is working. Goodness, youll bless his heart. We know better. Ill never forget stopping at a gas station in Chilton County one evening. The gentleman working the counter told me that after retiring, he had to pick up a job in his 70s so that he didnt have to choose between going hungry or going without his medication. He said, i did everything right. I did everything i was told to do. I worked hard, i saved, i was responsible. Hes not alone. I hear similar concerns from fellow parents, whether i am walking with my friends or whether im at my kids games. But lets be honest, its been a minute since joe biden pumped gas, ran a carpool, or even pushed to go grocery cart. Meanwhile, the rest of us see our dollar and we know it doesnt go as far. We see it every day, and despite what he tells you, our communities are not safer for years, the left has coddled criminals and defunded the police, all while letting Repeat Offenders walk free. The result is tragic but foreseeable from our small towns to americas most Iconic City Streets like life is getting more and more dangerous. And unfortunately, President Bidens weakness isnt just hurting families here at home. He is making us a punchline on the world stage. Look where im from. Your word is your bond. But for three years, the president has demonstrated that americas word doesnt mean what it used to. From abandoning our allies in his desert estrous withdrawal from afghanistan to desperately pushing another dangerous deal with iran. President biden has failed. Weve become a nation in retreat, and the enemies of freedom. They see an opportunity. Putins brutal aggression in europe has put our allies on the brink. Irans Terrorist Proxies have slaughtered israeli jews and american citizens. Theyve targeted commercial shipping, and theyve attacked our troops nearly 200 times since october, killing three us soldiers and two navy seals. Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist party is undercutting americas workers. China is buying up our farmland, spying on our Military Installations and spreading propaganda through the likes of tiktok. You see, the ccp knows that if it conquers the minds of our next generation, it conquers america. And what does President Biden do . Well, he bans tiktok for government employees, but creates an account for his own campaign. Yall you cant make this stuff up. Look, we all recall when president s faced National Security threats with strength and resolve. That seems like ancient history, right now. Our Commander In Chief is not in command. The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader. America deserves leaders who recognize lies that secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a Strong Defense are actually the cornerstone bones of a great nation. Just ask yourself, are you better off now than you were three years ago . Theres no doubt were at a crossroads and it doesnt have to be this way. We all feel it. But heres the good news we, the people are still in the drivers seat. We get to decide whether our future will grow brighter, or whether well settle for an america in decline. Well, i know which choice our children deserve, and i know the choice the Republican Party is fighting for. We are the party of hard working parents and families and we want to give you and your children the opportunities to thrive and we want families to grow. Its why we strongly support continued nationwide access to in vitro fertilization. We want to help loving moms and dads bring precious life into this world. Wesley and i believe there is no greater blessing in life than our children. And thats why tonight i want to make a direct appeal to the parents out there and in particular to my fellow moms. Many of whom i know will be up, tossing and turning at 2 a. M. Wondering how youre going to be in three places at once, and then somehow still get dinner on the table. First of all, we see you. We hear you, and we stand with you. I know youre frustrated. I know youre probably disgusted by most of what you see going on In Washington. And ill be really honest with you, youre not wrong for feeling that way. Look i get it. The task in front of us isnt an easy one, but i can promise you one thing. It is worth it. So i am asking you, for the sake of your kids and your grandkids, get into the arena. Every generation has been called to do hard things. American greatness rests in the fact that we will always answer that call. Its who we are. Never forget we are steeped in the blood of patriots who overthrew the most powerful empire in the world. We walk in the footsteps of pioneers who tamed the wild, and we now Carry Forward the same flame of freedom as the liberators of an oppressed europe. We continue to draw courage from those who bent the moral arc of the universe. And when we gaze upon the heavens, never forget that our dna contains the same ingenuity that put man on the moon. America has been tested before, and every single time weve emerged unbowed and unbroken in our history has been written with the grit of men and women who got knocked down. But we know their stories because they did not stay down. We are here because they stood back up. So now its our turn, our moment to stand up and prove ourselves worthy of protecting the american dream. Together we can reawaken the heroic spirit of a great nation. Because america, we dont just have a rendezvous with destiny. We take destinys hand and we lead it. Our future starts around Kitchen Tables just like this, with moms and dads just like you. And you are. Why i believe with every fiber of my being, that despite the current state of our union, our best days are still ahead. May god bless you and may god continue to bless these United States of america. All right. The republican response from junior senator from alabama, katie britt. She is 42 years old. She is a former Chief Of Staff for one of the previous senators from alabama, richard shelby. And this is the job that the senator is from the Republican Party have have given her. Caitlin collins, a fellow University Of Alabama graduate. What can you tell us about miss britt, and what did you think of her response . Ill tell you why republicans picked her. They they picked her because she is the youngest woman elected, the youngest republican woman elected to the senate. They believed that the fact that shes half bidens age would be an Effective Response to have her also at her Kitchen Table, talking about Kitchen Table issues, which they feel like President Biden is the weakest on, and also the moment in alabama, of course, that no one could ignore. Republicans there have been Sent Scrambling to protect ivf, to let clinics. Theyre open. I think a question also is shes on trumps vp short list. I think after that, the question is going to be if republicans felt like she met the moment in responding to a very fiery biden speech and forceful delivery that he had, where he addressed issues like the border and crime, which she mentioned there. I think thats going to be The Big Question of whether republicans feel that she met the moment. Ill tell you, i talked to multiple republicans on the hill today who were looking forward to this, and obviously, also, i should note, its always a thankless task to deliver. It is indeed a thankless task and also very difficult to give a speech, basically by yourself in your kitchen, much easier for politicians to do it in a room where they can play off the crowd, anderson. Jake, thanks very much. Here with the panel in new york. Ashley. Alyssa, what do you think . So listen, katie britt, a rising star, no doubt among among republicans. I think it was a smart choice. Shes somebody whos an incredibly impressive person. She ran a smart race in alabama, but ive got to say, the staging of this was bizarre to me, women can be both wives and mothers and also stateswomen. So to put her in a kitchen, not in front of a podium or in the Senate Chamber where she was elected after running a hard fought race, i think fell very flat and was confusing to some women watching it. I think that was a missed opportunity. I think her her focus on the border, on the economy, thats what republicans wanted to hear. The substance of her remarks, great. The staging just very, very bizarre. I want to play two sound bites from President Bidens address, where i think some of the key moments was and we talked about this, he had done this in the last state of the union, where he was sort of trying to elicit a response from republicans. One is on tax cut to one is on immigration. Lets play those back to back. January 6th lies about the 2020 election and the plots to steal the election poll posed a great gravest threat to us democracy since the civil war. But they failed. America stood. America stood strong and democracy prevailed. We must be honest. The threat to democracy must be defended. My predecessor and some of you here seek to bury the truth about january 6th. I will not do that. Political violence has absolutely no place, no place in america. Zero place. In november, my team began serious negotiations with a Bipartisan Group of senators. The result was a bipartisan bill with the toughest set of Border Security reforms weve ever seen. Oh, you dont think so . Oh, you dont like that bill, that conservatives got together and said it was a good bill. Ill be. Darn. Thats amazing. That was summit. We played the wrong side for the first. But then that was some of his his do you think that was effective, david, yeah, i do look, first of all, i think he knew that was going to happen. And he was ready to do it. And he did it because theres a tremendous amount of hypocrisy associated with what happened. James lankford is, in fact, one of the most conservative members of congress. He spent months assiduously negotiating what would have been the strictest border bill in decades. And then it was tanked, and it was tanked, as the president said, because donald trump wanted it tanked. So he knew this moment was going to elicit a response, and he wanted to say exactly what he said. But it has nothing to do with the current problem and how we got here over the last three years. On day one, reversing all of Donald TrumpsImmigration Policies by executive action, and the idea that after three years of telling the American People the border was secure after having unleashed this on the American People, on the executive and then saying, well, we didnt pass a bill, i understand its all their fault. Its not its no, i understand that you feel like you you feel and youre probably right. This is a good issue for republicans. But the public actually wants answers to it. This was an answer. And trump tanked it. Yeah, but do you think the public believes joe biden has the answers . Listen, i think the public believes that the bill i think if they saw the details of the bill and its particulars, they would say, yeah, those are good things and we ought to do that. And in fact, you would have said that too, if you were on if you were asked about this before it became an issue that that trump pulled the ripcord on scott the whole time joe biden has been president , people have been saying hes cowering to the left. Hes too progressive on an issue that republicans say they care about. He presented one of the most conservative bills possible in the chamber tonight. One of your andersons point, most conservative senators says thats true. Yes. Which took some courage because he im sure he knew the camera was going to be on him. So hes really discounting what youre saying right now is that that bill would have solved the problem. And if you want to be the party who says you want to take the future forward, then you have to solve problems. But thats not whats happening. And the person on the top. Wait, let me finish. The person on the top of your ticket doesnt solve problems. He creates chaos. He tells people not to do their job. And that is what happened on the Immigration Bill and the president , joe biden is allowed to call it out. So the president , the President Biden created the crisis, only went to the border because Governor Abbott gave some Immigrants Options to go to democratic cities and elevate this issue to be a national issue. And now, at the last minute and right before the fourth quarter, right before the end of the game, fellas, theres a theres a theres a theres a bill, theres a bill on the table. You cant get a bill on the table. Theres a bill on the table, dave. That would solve it. Or at least help address it. Everybody agreed on it until trump came in and said, no, i see i see it somewhat differently in that theres there there is a problem there. And theres been a problem there for a while. It has gotten worse. Every everybody has got a number thats too many. We hit our numbers democrats, and we couldnt find a partner. And i think thats not good. You wouldnt take yes for an answer. And im glad that biden called you out on it. Lets go back to jake in dc. Jake pierson, we are joined now by a very special guest who was in the House Chamber for tonights state of the Union Address, speaker emerita and democratic congresswoman from california nancy pelosi, speaker pelosi, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. So i have to say this was this may have been the highest stakes speech of President Bidens long career in politics. It may have been the highest stakes state of the Union Address that ive ever seen. Do you think he met the moment . Oh, i think he did definitely. He actually, i should quote him and just say, maybe i should go home right now because i think what he did was spectacular. He did it with vigor. He did it with vision, with patriotism. And i think it was one of the finest state of the Union Addresses i have seen. And ive seen many. So obviously a lot of republicans are critical of it. One of the things that theyre criticizing it for is for being political. And it was a very political state of the Union Address. Well, it had some political aspects to it, mostly generated by the audience saying four more years, but the perhaps amnesia has set in on the disgraceful speech that donald trump gave to the chamber, the one you ripped up. Well, there were so many disgraceful ones. Im getting them. But this is the one where he gave a president ial medal to somebody who was, oh, rush, rush limbaugh. Yeah. All that stuff and all he talked about was the election, the rest. And as speaker, i was offended because it is not a political rally. And by the way, he had what the convention at the white house, right. So, okay, lets get to whats important to americas Working Families instead of some of this. So he did mention you by name. President biden. Yeah. Can we roll that little clip . So you think the very idea of americas that were all created equal and deserves to be treated equally throughout our lives . Weve never fully lived up to that idea, but weve never walked away from it either. And i wont walk away from it. Now. Im optimistic. I really am, im optimistic. Nancy hope you didnt hear it that time. Hey, mr. He said, im optimistic. Im im im optimistic. Nancy, you didnt catch that the first time. I guess theres a lot of noise going on. Noise . Yeah why do you think he said that to you. Do you, do you do you disagree with him privately about his optimism . No, no, i think he was saying i hope you agree that i delivered the message tonight. This was you said its high stakes. One of the reasons its high stakes is because cause the opposition, the person that hes running against, is such a low form. I always say hes doing a Limbo Contest with himself to see how low he can go. So this really important for the democratic candidate who is the incumbent president to be president ial, to show a path. And i think, quite frankly, while i missed the nancy part, i did love what he said at the end about two paths. You have a path that takes us to the path, narrowing our freedom in the history of our country. We have always expanded freedom from a constitution in which, thank god our founders made it amendable ending slavery, expanding the right to vote black men, women. As time goes by, roe v wade and the rest until this c
