Now on bbc news newscast no interest to cut rates yet i think it does because itjust taps into the thing that, perhaps often, with the various rows and elections and staff can occasionally cloud what we as journalists know and the Political Parties who are aware there is a general election coming which is the Biggest Issue by a mile when they do their focus groups with voters or they were out knocking the doors. This is to state the obvious but it cannot be stated often enough, the Biggest Issue is the cost of living. Ultimately, the economy, vitality or otherwise of the economy and how do people measure that . They do not measure it in gdp is Interest Rates, they measure it and how well off or not you feel and that is the big, big topic. You feel and that is the big, big toic. ,. ,. , topic.

paul: welcome to the journal editorial report. florida governor ron desantis and gavin newsom squared off at a fiery debate in a battle between red and blue state policies with them clashing over everything from abortion to covid lockdowns to the biden/harris agenda. california represents the biden/ s harris agenda on steroids. they would love to get four years to take the california model. ron desantis signed the most a stream antiabortion bills in america. he signed a bill banning any exceptions for rape and incest and then he said it didn t go far enough and decided to sign a 6 week band. i had disney open during covid. we saved a lot of jobs. you had disney closed for over a year. you were not following science. you are a lockdown governor. you are trolling folks and trying to find migrants to play political games to get some attention to out trump trump. how is that going for you? paul: joining us is dan heninger and kyle peterson. what did we learn? how do they
News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Mueller lately. Seems like every ten days or so, this whips back up. You have the manafort trial, as jeff mentioned. I also think he probably doesnt distinguish too much between what mueller is doing and what prosecutors in new york are looking into with cohen.
