conversation this topic back to the front. while republicans you can hear what the the house, something they were talking about as they try to woo the voters. dana: inflation, economy and jobs, that is the number one issue. all states, national surveys. right now, we are looking at a dow jones with a pretty tough week. a lot of people who are watching their 401(k)s are thinking this is not the trajectory. they might have to put off their retirement. or as they were sating in the presentation, people are making tough choices at the grocery store. they don t see an end in sight. and they feel like the president of the united states when he says, oh, inflation has gone up an inch, he does not understand what they were going through. can the republicans maintain that kind of momentum over the next few weeks to bring these statements home? these polls have been tightening as you have watched closer than anybody. they talk about this on the show, they have been getting better
want the plant back, with everything it had? or what you re going to have. i will be dumbfounded if you find anybody other than for pure sentimental reasons saying i d rather have a coal plan. i ll end by telling you another quick story. when we move from scranton, when coal died in scranton, everything died in scranton. and my dad wasn t a coal miner. my great grandfather was a mining engineer but my dad was in sales, and there was no work so we left to go down to delaware. i told you where those oil plants were. but i remember driving home when you take the trolley in scranton, going out north washington and adams avenue, within 15 blocks we didn t live in the neighborhood, the most prestigious neighborhood in the region, in the town where the scrantons and other good decent people lived, there was a you d go by a wall that my recollection was somewhere between 15 and 18 feet tall. and it went essentially a city block. and you could see the coal piled up to the very top o
