dana. dana: thank you rich. bill: want to bring in karl rove former deputy chief of staff at the white house. rich was just mentioning the poll numbers. this is what abc has. economy 58% disapprove. only 36% approve of that. you go one more, disapprove or approve the way the president is handling coronavirus. back in april he was up 33 points. he was up 33 points in april. today he is minus 2 and has another challenge now. how do you see it going? well, the numbers are bad and as rich said, inflation plays a big role in it. this is where inflation was on ally thames in january. up 1.4% over the previous year. in october it was up 7.5% over last year. shelter up 4%, food 6.3%. energy up 35.6% and in january
they strip out food and energy when they look at inflation. what good does that do? voters say rising gas prices, grocery costs and housing costs are all causing financial hardship for american families. you look at this and wonder when will they wake up and realize there is going to be real world consequences, if that s not enough, real political consequences to the american families paying up? yeah, i don t know if they will until november of 2022. that s when they are going to wake up and find out what has happened. it reminds me of herb stein. i don t know if you remember him. the famous political economist said if you eliminate all those items that rose this month the index actually fell. they are playing with these numbers and they are making silly statements. you should look at ally thames and look at that. consumer price index with ally thames. all items.

The Phelps County Senior Companion program announced Sally Love, of Rolla, as the Senior Companion of the Month for February.
Sally was born in Pendleton, Oregon, but the family soon moved to Missouri where she grew up with two brothers and a sister. Due to the nature of her father’s work, the family moved a lot.
“Meeting new people frequently caused me to appreciate the struggles of others,” she said.
Sally became a senior companion in 2015.
Sally said she really enjoys volunteering as a Senior Companion, but as COVID-19 continues it has been a challenge taking care of clients.
