that should bring inflation down. that s not going to help growth at all and therefore put us into another recession. jackie: laura, i like the analogy that you make that when you try to initiate change it takes a while like going to the gym and trying to see results with your workouts, but having said that americans have been going this for well over a year, approaching two years now and getting to the point that people have to make hard decisions. i understand that your side says it s going to take more time but how much more time can we give it before people reach a breaking point? i just want to be clear. it s not just my side, it s vast majority of economists that are looking at this. when one of the things that you see with republicans, my colleague, everyone, not offering up an alternative they know that this is sort of the right direction that this is incredibly tough and durable problem with the a global pandemic, it s going to be hard to recover. we have to recognize the sc
indeed, one weapon was used but four people were killed and you had the defensive wounds and they were killed in this brutal way, then how is it that, you know, with the defensive moves i imagine there will be audible noises and the mystery remains that the two other girls in the home remained asleep and i know it s been reported that they were out and maybe they had a few drinks and so they didn t necessarily know what was going on but even the other victims didn t hear anything. it just seems difficult to believe that one weapon was used and that there would be one individual carrying out all four murders. well, the authorities have not said, jackie, how many individuals are actually involved, but i can tell you that you re absolutely right that the manner in which this house is set up, it appears as though that someone would have

information association. jackie: madison alworth, thank you. president biden says that economic policies are helping to ease inflations so are americans feeling that relief or are they still feeling the pinch. to king s view asset management cio scott martin and democratic strategist laura fink. laura, i want to start with you because cpi has come down and it s off the peak but still at 40-year highs and americans are struggling and they said as they exited the polls that food costs are one of the top top issues right now and this is all going on a little bit longer than everybody expected. you had a fed and an administration that said it was transitory. it hasn t been transitory. they are saying we will see some relief, we haven t really seen the relief yet and the president says that everything is fine. i mean, is he being a little tone deaf here? i think he expressed empathy in other parts of that side of remarks that just didn t get clipped but i do think there s a lot of empat
