progressive democrats in washington have waged a war against fossil fuels. rather than unleashing american oil production, rather than celebrating american roughnecks, they go to communists and venezuela. sandra: tom cotton slamming the drilling in the wrong places, that the biden administration is considering scaling back sanctions on the oil rich nation of venezuela. they say the white house should be encouraging more drilling here at home. trace: after opec burned president biden announcing it would cut oil production by 200 million barrels a day, and as americans pay more, the tide is turning on the president and his party just five short weeks before the midterms. sandra: larry kudlow is making his way to the studio, he ll join us moments away why it seems biden is beholden to other nations. after the saudis and opec+ snubbed the president and his team, president biden is not admitting, at least not now, that there is a plan for the u.s. to turn to another dictat
it s backed off a bit, but if you look at the tech heavy nasdaq, it is off 4% and plunging. john: debbie dingle standing by with her thoughts on how this could affect her party s midterm chances. but first, to jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn this hour and rather ironic the president has a celebration of the economy this afternoon. how are they reacting to the cpi report? either the white house expected numbers a whole lot better than this or someone in the scheduling office had an unfortunate oversight and getting an earful. it is ironic they are hosting a bunch of democratic lawmakers here today to mark the signing, last month s signing of the inflation reduction act just as those new numbers come out showing inflation, core inflation shot up last month 6.3% in august, up from 5.9% in july. and that is a key metric that the fed watches very closely and these numbers are more than the 6.1% that economists predicted, the next set of rate hikes will likely be quite a
far down the toilet they could wave hello to chris wallace. it s so bad i hear biden s new strategist is rote 0 router. wow just a chuckle. i thought that would work. no wonder he s once again talking up student loan forgiveness when really joe should be asking for forgiveness not doling it out. forgiveness for afghanistan, for tanking the economy, for farting in front of the royal family. that bomb was so rank the queen thought the germans were blitzing again. tyrus: dang. jason: now they want to forgive ten grand, or roughly what hunter paid for a weekend of hookers. of course this is a hail mary pass or for the gender confused, a hail larry, known appeal to young voters before the midterms which should crush the dems like a dozen eggs under brian stelter s box springs. did i say voters i meant democratic voters the ones too dumb to realize they re trading their future for a quick payout. taking your money to pay a bribe to the people who hate you to elect the same frea
he says are threatening the very foundations of our republic. plus, trump s lawyers and the justice department face off in federal court. we ll explain the big developments to come out of the special master hearing. and, a hot holiday weekend arrives with little to no running water for nearly 200,000 people in mississippi. the state has troops on the ground to help in the water crisis. good morning. and welcome to way too early. i m jonathan lemire. on this friday, september 2nd. thank you for starting your day with us. we ll begin in philadelphia, where president joe biden issued a dire warning about threats to american democracy last night, in a rare prime time address. standing outside historic independence hall, where the united states constitution was written and signed, the president spoke directly about the dangers posed by the trump-backed wing of the republican party. here s some of what he had to say. quality and democracy are under assault. we do ourselves
fox news shows begin, with a fox news alert. we are reporting tonight on a missing person paid 79-year-old caucasian male identifies as who and huh, occasionally calls others jack. last seen in delaware. maybe the basement. wearing khakis, button-down, dark aviators, a mask dangling off his ear. carrying the nuclear football. he answers to the name of the comeback kid and the big guy, a.k.a. your president joe biden. also goes by scranton joe or brandon. if you really wanted his attention, you can say, hey, who want some ice cream come he ll come wandering around to your door. the media is searching for him high and low, mostly low. strange, considering just last week they told us that after a string of big wins, the president was on a roll, his stretch of bad luck was behind him, his poll numbers had hit rock bottom. like a line of parmesan cheese under hunter s nose, there was nowhere to go but up.
