RICHARD FOWLER (CO-HOST): I agree that the president does have a low approval rating. But I think if you look at the things that are in Build Back Better, whether it be helping families deal with child care or whether it be making sure that people who are on Medicaid or Medicare get hearing -- 

LISA KENNEDY MONTGOMERY (CO-HOST): Are you talking about the child tax credit? 

FOWLER: No, wait a minute, hold on. Whether it be getting hearing aids -- 

KENNEDY: Oh, yeah. Give people -- give people help one year and then take it away. That is so wonderful -- 

FOWLER: -- or glasses for senior citizens. These are all popular things, right? It's all -- these are all popular measures.

KENNEDY: Well, maybe we could afford to give glasses to senior citizens if we weren't raping the economy with these arbitrary climate mandates. 

FOWLER: There aren't any arbitrary climate mandates.
