homicides have risen 60%. just because crime has spilled into the nice neighborhoods doesn t mean people in the troubled part of town get a break. the rate of crime is great on the sides of town. an 11-year-old was among those shot, and they should perhaps soon surpass 3700 shooting victims for the year. gillian: mike tobin live in chicago. mike: california is known for going all in on going green, yet the state still is making the cut of its own climate guidelines. kelly o grady s live in los angeles at the latest. hi, kelly. california isn t cutting its greenhouse gas emissions fast enough to meet its own deadlines. the aim was to reduce 90 levels by 40% in 2030, 80% in 2050. at the current rate, they are not going to set the deadline until next century, if you can believe that. from 2018-2019, california
tests available to the american people as a travesty. here we are a year later, and you see lines for testing stretching entire blocks. i saw it here in jersey on christmas eve, people waiting outside in the cold to get tested. many urgent care is our having to shut down because so many doctors are testing positive. hmmm tests are almost possible to get and that s a reality for weeks if not longer as omicron records are being set as far as positive cases are concerned. take away the rhetoric and the noise here. the president and his team had a year to be ready for this moment. the president said he didn t reject holiday surge in testing a couple months ago. why wasn t one in place, mr. president? pretty easy follow-up question. they have clearly failed here. it goes back to an overall theme. it s a flat-footed administration. they are flat-footed on inflation, which they say it isn t transitory. at least that s what they originally said. obviously it s here to stay for a while. they
sure. it s gone on much longer because of the policy. you have 11 million open jobs in this country. 11 million open jobs. that s why you have got a supply chain problem. that s why you have got inflation. how do you get people in those jobs? one way you don t do it is put mandates in place that confuse employers and confuse workers and keep them from getting together and filling those jobs. if you wanted to solve the inflation problem, power america. produce energy. the problem is right now the president has put all oil producers gas producers on notice i m against you. will: i saw some analysis one bank of america or jp morgan chase one of the big banks, the anticipation now the admission is inflation isn t transitory. the admission is it could last into april of 2022. the question is if that s how long it lasts how high does it go? rachel: hurts people that are

years of a president who understood how to manage things. he understood how to run a big business, to bring people in that had had the experience of running, by and large, big corporate entities, et cetera, knew how to manage and i think that is the real difference here. i mean, joe biden has been in the sun it. he s managed anything. he can t even manage his family. jesse: yeah, hunter biden manages joe s bank account. you ve got to admit though, jesse, hunter biden is an artist. jesse: i m sorry. a con artist. jesse: right. the only thing, i guess his paintings are inflated, too. what are they selling for, 75 gs? inflation, this isn t transitory, get ready, folks. jesse: hunter knows all about high-class problems, doesn t he, governor? yes, sir. jesse: all right, thanks for coming on prime time.
