mr. mccarthy: good morning. the age-old question that voters consider, are you better off than you were four years ago? that begs to all americans today, what is the answer to that question? it's overwhelming. we just came back with a couple surveys. over 60% say they're better off than they were three years ago. higher than the last four election cycles where an incumbent president was running. about 60% say they are better off financially than just a year ago. tied for an all-time high last reached in 1999. three in four americans are even more optimistic about the future. the highest level in more than 40 years. and people are just happier, nine in 10 are satisfied with their personal life. the highest mark in four decades. so as we look to these top lines, the work from this administration, the work about tax and others that made our economy stronger, wages higher, and america happier. what's interesting to me, i watched the democrats with speaker pelosi had to have an emergency meeting. what to do with an e

mr. mccarthy: jim jordan and i had a competition to become leader. i called yim jordan after that and asked him to become the ranking member on oversight. i think he's done an excellent job. one thing i would take from all this, we have a united republican party. we're united in the facts. we're united in fighting for the american public. much different in contrast to the democrat party where they have their own civil war, first internally inside this house, a number of democrats who are fearful of lose their seats based on decision thegs speaker made about moving forward in impeachment and trusting adam schiff who continued to lie to them themselves. then you've got a civil war on the national pages that you see bernie sanders in the lead and once again the democratic party trying to steal the nomination from bernie sanders. remember, just four years ago, the chair of the democratic national committee had to resign the night before their convention because truth came forward in emails that they had rigged the system to make sure bernie could not win

mr. mccarthy: thank you, steve. good morning. night what we heard was not a republican or democrat speech. one.s an american hen i sat and listened to it, just as i had listened to others before, when there were things i with, i stood. but when i watched the democrats talk about when the president spoke about what the the of america's dreams, comeback for this country, it was appalling. pelosi teared nancy up a speech, she cannot tear up a 13-year-old charles mcgee of who watched his grandfather ight against all odds just because the color of his skin to defend our nation and fly. perfect union hat he can dream of going to space. or a soldier returning home to his family, defending our rights our freedom. or a single mother who is just any of us, who would give p anything for a better future for her daughter, got to hear he got an opportunity scholarship. this is not partisanship. us is what really brings together. it's what intwines us as americans that tomorrow will be today.than three years ago, we could not imagine that this
