maxwell frost walked out, maxine dexter from maryland, andrea salinas from oregon, ayanna pressley, ilhan omar, pramila jayapal. we believe that's only a partial list. number of democrats left during the remarks. the president in his what we believe was ad libbing. we did not have prepared remarks from the president, which is unusual. white house is usually distribute prepared remarks. so we don't know what was digression from those remarks and what was outlined. but the president did repeatedly seem to be ad libbing when he was remarking on the expected impact of the economic decisions he's already made six weeks in saying that the american people would have to bear with him, that there would be a little disturbance, that there would be an adjustment period. and again, he said, a little disturbance, essentially suggesting that the roiling that we saw in the markets is something that he knows he caused. but he hopes people will not mind. for the record, the worst inflation in this country was in 1980. for the record. the economy that he was left by president biden was not a catastrophe. i
