For four straight years i fought for american workers like i would fight for my own family. I took care of our economy like i would take care of my own company. Yeah, yeah, you did. You did, donald, run economies run america s economy into the ground just like you did your businesses which filed for bankruptcy a total of six times, and also your failing weird truth social thing. Which is like down 70% this year. And oh, wait until you hear trump s world salad plan to make child care more affordable. Also tonight, judge tanya chutkan shuts down the effort by trump s lawyers to put a halt to the election interference case until after the november election. And late today, the judge released a new calendar in the case. Plus, the right s dishonest claims about communities being overrun by migrant crime.

so really, it would just negate the increases of the last week, and there are big questions because of how it s taxed about whether or not that decrease will be passed along to consumers at the pump. okay. thank you so much. pete, matt, thank you. let s bring in diane swok, the chief economist at grant thorton. he s also an adviser to the federal reserve and the congressional budget office. thank you for being here. do you think the president s plan will work? well, it s not going to take off the real problem, the steam off of inflation in the way that we really need to do it. that s on the shoulders of the federal reserve, and that s why you re seeing the federal reserve committed to raising rates, not just a half percent at one meeting but a half percent at likely the next two meetings as well. and getting up to at least a neutral rate and then going further on interest rate hikes, because they really have to bring campen demand down in order to bring it in line with

republic supplied hundreds of tanks to the ukrainians to fight the russians, so putin watches now the czech republic, stepping up and taking their place where he d rather his representatives were. nic robertson in helsinki, thank you for your reporting. in russia the kremlin s crackdown on any negative news coverage of the war didn t stop two reporters from taking a stand. they posted pieces on a pro-kremlin website, filling it with messages like as vladimir putin lied about russia s plans in ukraine and putin unleashed one of the gladdiest wars of the twenty-first century, a couple quotes from this post, anchor of reliable sources brian stelter is with us now. it s pretty striking given what we know of is happening in russia when it comes to the crackdown and flow of information. a shocking breach of the pro kremlin line. it was posted by business
they are dating it to the late 70s, early 80s based on the clothing the corpse is wearing which they traced to lines, shoots and clothing, i should say they traced to lines sold in kmart back in the mid to late 1970s. when the body was dumped, it would have been pretty much somewhere in the middle of lake mead, but levels have fallen so far that what was once the middle of the lake is now the shoreline. if you pan over, you can see just how far the water level has fallen. that change in color, the line, that is where the water level was and should be. and you see where the water level is now. it has fallen dramatically. now, you mentioned that other body that was found this past weekend, a skeleton, a human skeleton. police right now tell us they are not treating that as susp suspicious. and there are a lot of accidents on this lake. it is windy.
