nearly 1300 points. you can see it right here in the corner as you celebrated quite a contrast. scathing inflation report and the labor department revealing consumer price index rose 8.3 fears in august from a month ago. americans didn t need those numbers to know how bad things really are. food prices have seen their highest increase more than 40 years and cost of eggs, milk, and other basic staples are all going through the roof. it appears democrats are out of touch with americans. here s nancy pelosi yesterday asking for a round of applause. mr. president, thank you for unifying and inspiring a vision of a stronger, fairer, writer and future. your leadership made this glory yous day possible. that s an applause line. emily: cringe, there appears to be a downer that attended the party and here s the media reaction. harris: you re listening to president biden at the white house and celebrating the passage of inflation reduction act and fighting big pharma for decades
sandra smith will stick around for us today as well. and bret baier also joining us this hour as the president insists the economy is right on track. celebrates it with james taylor at the white house. first we go to white house correspondent jacqui heinrich. hi, jacqui. even though that new gallop poll shows that voters are far more concerned with the economy than the climate, the president is fixated on climate telling reporters that he s not concerned about yesterday s hotter than expected inflation reading or the stock market sell-off before announcing that $900 million for electric vehicle chargers on highways across 35 states. great america road trip will be fully electrified, whether you re driving coast to coast on i 10 or on i-75 in michigan. charging stations will be up and easy to find as gas stations are now. we ll invest $7 billion to have the batteries and other critical materials that car companies need. the white house wants half of all new cars to be el
