strong politically. there is a recent cnbc poll that shows, to your point, 70% or so of voters feel that biden shouldn t run. again that includes 77% of democrats. it is an anonymous, poll. jonathan and here is something that you wrote in this op-ed. you wrote that the president is now an elderly swimmer in a sea of sharks, and some of them may even be democrats. i want to, ask if you want on this limb to write this somewhat stinging anti biden op-ed, who else is on that line with you? are they former obama insiders? how are you going to characterize them? first of all, one of the reasons i wanted to write this article is i was surfacing for public debate, a lot of things are being talked about privately. although democrats saying that biden is too old to run a second term, and they love a
i think that s bigger than anybody is saying that biden shouldn t run. bret: yeah. katie, to that point, here is congressman ro khanna being asked about why the prices are where they are. where do you place blame. we re not making enough things in america. we didn t make baby formula. we didn t make when the pandemic happened we were shipping things offshore need to make more things in america. second i blame powell with the quantitative easing. buying mortgage backed securities way too long. bret: with that we kind of dug into what is behind inflation always. it brought us back to milton freidman the late economist 1978. and he was asked at that time where inflation was spiking about inflation. take a listen. inflation is made in washington because only washington can create money. and any other at tri biewtion to

month of legislative wins for democrats, you have this bill, granted if the parliamentarian comes through on it, it appears to have the votes, the chips act which you mentioned, you had agreement on nato and finland, bipartisan votes joining and gun legislation, a lot of folks thought was not possible. yet at the same time you have many members of the president s own party speaking openly saying that president biden shouldn t run for president in 2024. rick wilson, he tweeted this point earlier today, said democrats can t organize a two-car motorcade but can turn the gun on their the leader of their own party 90 days before the election. the president in the last six weeks we have seen gas prices lower at the pump for the last seven weeks going down. we re seeing a major bill on
