i m harris faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus . the producer price index up 11.3% over last year. now adding to fears of a recession compounding trouble for americans after yesterday s consumer prices index hit a four-decade high. notice the number on the left for wholesale prices, the goods being made for us, is cooking hotter than the inflation that we re faced with. now how long do you think it will take for them to pass that along to the consumer? will they even have a choice? former trump economic advisor explains it this way. i would like to walk through how you should think about inflation so people understand why. if you start the car at zero and accelerate 10 miles per hour per month after six months you go 60 miles per hour and after 12 months 120 miles per hour. what s my velocity right now is what you care about. we re hiding how big the increase in prices are that are affecting ordinary americans by a very large amount. inflation is startlingly high ri
criminal insurrection probe intensifying. i have a very special guest on that later in the hour. coming up i have neil cochel to start us off. look at this report from cnn, trump lawyers waging a secret fight to try to halt a grand jury from getting information from his inner circle, basically blocking testimony that otherwise would be relevant, meaning the prosecutors at least want to introduce it. we know the context for this, those 40 new subpoenas. you have a former prosecutor on the letitia james side saying that the business probe is basically a dealt penalty for trump org. so you have the insurrection and the business probe both going at trump hard, and then that s not the only thing going on. these are circling trump while he has no presidential powers left. we have seen in the special master case where they thought it would help to have more court review, which could be true if he were president because in the process if the president says, hey, national security, he
americans clearly do not approve of the president was my policy is. biden s approval at 31%, a record low. that includes only 19% of hispanics and 23% of independents. with the truth. can we handle the truth? good morning, todd and carly. i m not sure. the president i don t know if you saw, i started out by butchering massachusetts representative s name then he called him a she. he praised the climate conference in glasgow, england, which is in scotland, and announcing as a result of fossil fuel emissions, he has cancer, which he doesn t. president biden: rather than is being able to walk, guess what? you had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick of the window. that s why i am so cancer. for the longest time, had the highest cancer rate in the nation. that raised eyebrows, and a few hours later, the white house attempted to clean up telling fox news biden was saying he was referring to past skin cancer, which was removed and documented in h
outrage. now, there is virtually no facet of american life immune from politics and partisanship. it s in a tiny example of what i mean. some friends invited my wife and i to the essence festival concert last saturday night at the superdome in new orleans. it should have been a fun time. 50,000 people there to see janet jackson patti labelle. just before the headliners took the stage, this well-known warm-up act wandered out. we are in the middle of a critical time. they are trying to take women s right to choose. they are trying to take voting rights. raymond: the reverend may have gone may have well is gone to a chump rally. nobody wanted to hear that political message. at that point miss jackson hit the stage. no. hello, essence festival, this november we will be electing folks who make critical decisions in our community. decisions about our health care, very personal decisions we make about our bodies. stay on with black approval of the president biden below 50%
