january rick scott right now is beefing with july rick scott, which also shows the wider problem thaten's economic report is posing for so many republicans. and let me be clear. i mentioned keeping it straight with you. things are not back to normal. inflation is still undercutting these gains. and this enduring pandemic is enduring. but there is big good news on the economic front. take "the new york times" front page today with the blaring headline that biden's spending push and other factors have this economy surging to the best growth in 40 years, since '84. and biden's here, an he is the one in the debate staying he stands by funding american jobs in a pandemic, and let's continue what works. the response from biden's opponents, it is a mix of crickets, and lies and i was against this spending before i was for it. and in many ways when you think about the stakes and the substance, it is a sorry sight. it comes as biden finds momentum on the economy with the big numbers that i mentioned. that is nonpartisan data and on the supreme court where people on his side of the aisle are ex

and florida senator rick scott saying the truth comes out, woke secretary cardona asked nsba to write the letter asked to begin treating parents like domestic terrorists, cardona should resign. carley, if you had any question whether this reached top level of the administration, you have your answer in that e-mail. a parent, i can't say this enough. i am in charge, not the government, not the board of education, not the teachers. i determine what is in the best interest of my child andeck spooing out in favor of what i think are the best interest of my child does not make me a domestic terrorist, it makes me a parent, carley. >> carley: yeah, in this e-mail we're talking about, it was obtained by the parents group, parents defending education and freedom of information act and it is between two nsba people who work at the association and it says the interim ceo of the organization told the officers, he was writing a letter to provide information to the white house from a request by secretary cardona. of course, this is a letter where the nsba ultimately likened parents to domestic ter

following the phenomena of hispanic voters moving towards the republican party since 2018 when rick scotty reached out to them as if they were anybody else. and that messaging is what has worked and i think that part of the problem that democrats have had with hispanics where they segmented and say this is for the hispanic vote. hispanic voters, third, fourth, five generation see themselves as not as hispanic voters but as someone who is the same as their neighbor next door. their issue separates around community and what is the best thing for their family. that's just like any other voter in this family. that's what republicans have done well and better and that democrats started to fail on. >> yeah, it's interesting, jose. let's put this up. this is a very interesting poll. hispanics are divided if they're asked right now. this is a "wall street journal" poll if they would vote for president biden or president trump. look at that. 44 biden, 43 trump. so jose, even in your answer, you said hispanic voters need to understand better how much has been done for them. maybe they don't want to

florida senate rick scott said this in a statement quote the biting ministration is continuing to secretlylegal aliens in the middle of the night in neighborhoods all across america. that his right your tax dollars are being used two charter private flights. now, florida has now signed onto the multistate texas led a lawsuit against the biting ministration. their decision to reinstate the central american miners program. the obama era policy less certain minors who illegally entered the country the ability to seek resident status. they are then able to petition to have extended family enter as well. now former president trump terminated this program back in 2017 president biden reinstated this march. eric drake works all right alexander thank you so much, arthel. arthel: erika leaked a video showing a heated exchange over the crisis at our southern border with patrol agents confronting u.s. border patrol chiefs raul, this happened during homeland security secretary mayorkas visit to laredo texas, yesterday. bill is alive in la joya, texas with details and the video, bill. >> arthel good af

rick scott of florida says that's right, your tax dollars are being used to charter private flights in to take illegal aliens all across our nation. it's a disgusting misuse of our taxpayer money and must end now. a white house official is insisting any and all single men at the border are tracked with a electronic ankle monitoring bracelet or similar technology. tens of thousands are not reporting to their immigration hearings and that is according to the department of homeland security. >> why let them in to the u.s. unsupervised in the first place? >> again, we have a stringent protocols and process that's we implement here that includes expelling individuals that come in under title 42, given we're still in a global pandemic and includes those that do not show up will be subject to the repercussions of that. so that is the policy we're implements from our homeland security department. >> the president and vice president's warning to the minors, do not come is not being followed because these migrants keep coming. trace? >> trace: indeed they do. peter doocy live at the white house.

that is certainly what you are going to hear from the republicans, especially the likes of senator rick scottm florida. he talks about the fact that he wants the fed to really ratchet back on their bond buying and the fact that the democrats are spending too much. then you have the likes of senator joe manchin, who says that one of his key items to signing up for build back better last summer was that the fed starts ratcheting back their bond buying, and also to get inflation under control. we are going to get inflation data very soon, and we are expecting to see potentially a 7% handle on u.s. inflation. we are seeing skyrocket inflation in other countries around the world. this is something that both parties are talking about. tom: where are -- jonathan: where are the other fed ex? -- other fed picks? annmarie: i don't have an answer for you. it does seem like they have narrowed it down to a very select few for the vice chair of supervision and the other two governorships, but we just don't know yet, and it is frustrating because we were promised that we would get these fed picks before the

rick scott is doing a heck of a job running the nrsc, the national republican senate committee.strategy reaching out to those independent voters, to hispanic voters, reaching out and growing the party. the democrat party has left traditional reif palins -- republicans as well as the democrats. so i think that we have a great opportunity here to pick up seats in arizona as well as georgia, and there'll be a couple jokers that we'll pull out of the hat -- out of the hand as well. jason: oh, i could name some jokers on the list that should be defeated, that's for sure, senator. [laughter] all right. real quickly, only got about 30 seconds left, what do you see as the top tier issues going into the election, the major drivers by the time we get to the end of 2022? >> yeah. i think it remains covid and the economy, right? if we get the economy right, everything else falls into place. as opposed to a one-size-fits-all, sledgehammer approach by the federal government, i think americans are going to see that approach doesn't work. let's turn it back to the states, local communities to s
