fuel, karl? the president took a question on that last night. it seems the solutions he is offering in his policies is more government that will eventually lead to lower prices. listen. if we pass the other two things i m trying to get done, we will in fact reduce inflation, reduce inflation, because we are going to be providing good opportunities and jobs for people who, in fact, are going to be reinvesting that money and all the things we re talking about. driving down prices, not raising prices. sandra: that s the solution, to spend more money, karl? hasn t worked at in the history of mankind. inflation is too much money chasing too a few goods. the fact they spend a lot of government money, a lot of it backed by debt, some higher taxes on people who are working, and you re suddenly somehow going to be able to dampen down
right there. sandra: deon, really appreciate hearing your perspective and experience on that. such an important thing right now when you see this lawlessness happening in cities like los angeles. thank you. bill: that was a line from barretta, by the way. last night biden said the republicans are lying, he said he never said to defund the police. last summer he was asked about it, he said absolutely when he was asked about taking money from police departments we allocated other places. we can redirect some of the police funding. that was last summer as a candidate, here s the question last night. how do you respond to republicans who try to paint you and your party is anti-police? they are lying. they aren t saying joe biden is anti-police. cops are not saying that about joe biden. they know me. nick. bill: he says we need more policemen, not fewer, but we need them involved in community policing. that may be the case, that
