we got a reminder that gas high are at a record. double what they were a little more than 1 1/2 years ago. and going still higher. i talked to a key oil analyst on fox business, which ifdown don t get you should demand because he had the bad news of imparting the fact that $5 gas is inevitable. for a dozen states in this country, indeed it is. $6 gas is the next stop after that. and then the best you could hope for is that that momentum slows. all of this happening the same day seven states across the country are having crucial primaries that could decide the table setting we ll have in november for this big mid-term election. at which times progressives will be on the defense and conservatives and republicans, they hope, that they ll be in the advantage. all of this occurring at the same time we had the corner of wall and broad racing ahead on the notion that even with the higher gas prices, optimism about retail sales and americans penchant to spend. target, for example, th
thanks for taking time. neil, more news that if the mexican authorities give these migrants a temporary work visa, they can move anywhere they want in mexico. as we know from past caravans, that will most likely all come to the u.s. border and that means more numbers coming across the river. neil: thanks, griff. to the national border patrol council vice president, hector garza. these are staggering numbers. i have to give credit to you. you were looking at these before anyone and that it could get that high if not higher. i m wondering if there ares in signs that the mexicans are doing anything to slow this down or halt it outright? first of all, the fact that we re having the largest caravan ever should be of no surprise to anyone. we know from the past few months, the past few years, the biden border policies have been
this is where i want to be. call your doctor about sudden behavior changes or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report fever, confusion, stiff or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be life threatening or permanent. these aren t all the serious side effects. now i m back where i belong. ask your doctor if latuda is right for you. pay as little as zero dollars for your first prescription. neil: that migrant caravan making its way from mexico. it s apparently growing by the day. what was thought to be 10,000 migrants could be 15,000, maybe more. griff jenkins in rio grande with more. griff, what can you tell us? neil, the caravan is growing. the organizer telling me it s probably closer to 12,000 more now and may get work permits which should allow them tomorrow to begin moving closer to the

and the mexican president can iron out these issues, that doesn t appear to be in the cards right now. well, you know, president biden needs to pressure president obrador and make sure that they do their part. we know that having open borders is not humane. we know that the migrants are on the border and it s not humane. we have to make sure that president biden does his job. where is kamala harris? he s supposed to be the border czar. she s not done any of the work she s supposed to be doing. neil: hector, i hope you re wrong but you been right on this. thanks, hector. in the meantime, keeping an eye on another big pressure topic in this country, inflation running rampant, not out of control. for the treasury secretary of the united states, janet yellen,
