I'm Lou Dobbs with the Great America Show Midday Update for Thursday January 25th.

Our economy is growing and at a better clip than most economists had expected.

The GDP of 3.3% last year and no recession in sight.

The Commerce Department reporting growth was actually picking up in the fourth quarter of last year.

Republicans on their way to unity,

uniting behind the issue of border security

and illegal immigration.

GOP senators telling James Langford and leader Mitch McConnell there's no way they'll

support their amnesty for illegal immigrants and the House Speaker Mike

Johnson says he won't do a deal on Ukraine without real border security. I don't know whether

Johnson actually means that, but a sizable number of congressional representatives

say they're ready to shut down the government if the puppet president doesn't secure the border

now.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board declaring Nicky Haley is a viable candidate, despite her double-digit loss in New Hampshire. The paper

owned by the never trumper Murdoch family, the board boosting Haley despite the

fact that President Trump has won both Iowa and New Hampshire and is

ahead by 30 points in Haley's home state of South Carolina.

And oh yes, 70% of Haley's votes in her double digit loss to President Trump came from non-Republicans.

70% of her support, crossover dims and independence.

I think it's just about a wrap.

Thanks and have a great day.
