the gains since biden took office. bill: the biggest rate hike in three decades. new york post, it s looking grizzly. dana: adding to the concerns is the producer price index for may out just moments ago showing wholesale prices up 11% year-over-year. all of that gets passed right onto you, the consumer. bill: it does. the price of gas holding steady, record $5 a gallon all threatening to overwhelm a white house in crisis. we begin with griff jenkins on the north lawn. good morning. that s ppi number which increased month over month is not welcome news at the white house because it rose and it is rising is an indication that inflation may not yet have peaked. that number, by the way, without going into the weeds represents what companies pay to make the things we buy and that cost gets passed on to us. by the way, bill, i doubt the president wanted to wake up feeling grizzly this morning. a bear market occurs when an index like the s&p falls 20% off a recent high. i
that. he could be the first impeacher to lose his renomination. dana: you mentioned nancy mace. this is what she said on fox news yesterday. she is predicting a win. i will win by double digits i believe on tuesday. that s what everything is looking like. i m feeling cautiously optimistic. dana: that would be a lot. a lot of these races in america are quite close. to win it by double digits. she is thinking 55%, 56%. you think it s possible? anything is possible, i suppose. the last poll i saw had it within 6% point. arrington seems to be closing very well. so we ll see. she could win. again, the thing she has in her advantage it is interesting. nancy mace, she has criticized president trump publicly but she didn t take the votes that
making clear in no uncertain terms she doesn t going to be in favor. if that s the shot, manchin reiterated his support on this, this is a vote that will fail, and the democratic caucus is undecided on whether it needs to fail on the floor, by this i mean the rules change vote. we don t think they can get to 50 on the voting rights bill if they have 50 members present. the caucus is divided on if it needs to fail or whether they can cut their losses and just move on. but who knows? there s plenty of days between now and tuesday which another senator might test positive. this could be delayed days, weeks, just a matter of how long they want to prolong this difficult period. all right. we had a retirement. and it s a retirement that donald trump is cheering. so you can guess it must be an impeacher. you want to tell us who it is? that s right. john cat koe of new york state.
