administration on immigration. an influx of children crossing the border alone. there is a crisis on the texas border right now. as a result of president biden s open border policies. democratic congressman vicente gonzalez weighs in. and welcome to inside politics sunday. i m abby phillip. to our viewers around the united states and the world, thank you for spending part of your weekend with us. one year ago this weekend, the coronavirus lockdowns were just beginning and covid had killed 70 people here in the united states. the doeath toll, now 534,000 ca counting, would seem unimaginable, but today, americans have never been more optimistic the end is in sight. three quarters in a poll tell cnn the worst is finally behind us, and president biden says there will be enough vaccine for all adults by the end of may and we can safely celebrate the fourth of july with a backyard barbecue if all goes well. i will not relent until we beat this virus. but i need you. the a
people to get the vaccine. we re moving from that phase, the survival phase, really into the phase of taking action yourselves. but also collectively, investing in ourselves, beginning to ask the question that why it was so many americans were so close to being on food bank lines when had their jobs disappeared and beginning to make choices about setting ourselves up for the future. van jones? look, help is on the way. help is on the way. and i think it s not good enough just to win, it you ve also got to spin to win. he s going to do that tonight. progressives like this, which it s hard to please progressives. and republicans like it so much they voted against it they still want the credit. 50 days in this is really about joe biden s legacy as president of the united states. this is the largest anti-poverty program in decades. he s talking about ending a pandemic and most of all in many ways he s trying to tell people that government works, government can work for you

many memorial day celebrations include the traditional back yard barbecue. prices might have some seeing red. the average price of ketchup jumped from $5.22, more than 28% than last year. joining me is stu leonard jr. we love visiting your grocery store any time of the year. stu, so great to see you. i love being with you. i enjoy this today. thank you. thank you so much. what are you hearing from shoppers? obviously they are there. are they stunned by these prices? you know what, actually this year they were seeing the easing in the market right now. i really feel this is the peak of food inflation as everybody s been talking about. we re seeing fish prices come down, a lot of fruits and
