Conservatives question if people are better off than 4 years ago, highlighting issues like high unemployment, COVID-19 deaths, and economic struggles.

The contrast between current events and the past is emphasized, urging viewers to reflect on their current situation.
Speaker 0: Believe it or not, every single week, multiple times a week, conservatives keep asking the question, are you better off than you were 4 4 years ago? Here's Fox News on Monday.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what this election's about. Whether you're better off than you were 4 years ago, or you could be bamboozled into believing you don't know the difference.
Speaker 0: I know the difference. Let's try to remember, shall we? What was life like for you 4 years ago as the US unemployment rate jumped to its highest rate since the Great Depression? As the White House rejected strict CDC standards for reopening the states even as White House staffers with top access kept catching the virus. While more than 1,000 Americans a day were dying, and divisions in anger were growing nationwide.
President Trump held a summit at the White House where congressional Republicans took turns praising him.
Speaker 2: Thank you, mister president, for all of the support for New York state.
Speaker 0: I appreciate your work ethic. I know how hard you work for the American people.
Speaker 3: This This man goes 18, 20 hours a day. As many of you know, he's the most transparent president in history. Thank you for bringing us back here to show the American people that we can be here and
Speaker 0: do our work.
Speaker 3: The Democrats, are cowering, at home right
Speaker 0: now. Meanwhile, vice president Pence, the public face of the administration's COVID effort, made a show of delivering boxes of PPE to doctors and joked about the situation. Now listen to the reporting from 4 years ago versus what Donald Trump and the White House were saying.
Speaker 4: The virus is again hitting home at the White House where two staffers have now tested positive.
Speaker 1: Mister president, is there is there a reason why people just aren't wearing masks at the White House?
Speaker 5: Well, they are. People that They're not. No. People that are serving me are.
Speaker 4: The number of deaths still climbing at over a1000 a day, now to over 78,000.
Speaker 6: Mister president, you said recently that you would, if necessary, be the first person to get a vaccine. How important do you think the vaccine ultimately is?
Speaker 5: Well, I didn't say I wanted to. That's not a a correct statement. Well, I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests. This is gonna go away without a vaccine. It's gonna go away, and it's, we're not gonna see it again.
Speaker 2: With new cases surging in states like Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin, health experts say expect a spike in COVID cases as states loosen restrictions. If it really picks up, it's very hard to stop again.
Speaker 6: Mister president, you were with 7 American heroes earlier today, these World War 2 I was. All in their in their nineties. Did you consider wearing a mask when you were with them given their No.
Speaker 5: Because I was very far away.
Speaker 6: Did he consider wearing a mask while he was with these veterans?
Speaker 2: They made the choice to come here because they've chosen to put their nation first.
Speaker 5: No. You didn't worry about me. You only worried about them, and that's okay. They've lived a a great life.
Speaker 7: The Trump administration is expanding guidelines drafted by the CDC, offering detailed advice to states about how and when to reopen public places.
Speaker 5: You can have it and get through it very easily. Some people have a heart attack. Most people get through it.
Speaker 4: Historic unemployment, the worst since the great depression. American families going hungry. 1,000 lined up at food banks. 3,000,000 more Americans filing for unemployment as the job situation grows increasingly bleak.
Speaker 1: So if unemployment's at 14% now, perhaps going as high as 20%, Where do you think that will be in the 4th?
Speaker 5: The number's gonna be a great number. I can't oh, I'm not gonna say exactly what. I call it the transition to greatness. We're gonna have a great year next year. You'll see.
Speaker 0: You wanna go back there? That what you wanna do? Tell me, are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?
