the list. and power is first. how we got there, i remember when trump was elected and i reached out to lizzie and i said, whatever are we going to do? and she said, don t let the bastards grind you down. there s no answer to this question, i m sorry, that will make sense. but margaret atwood and the story we re telling and the shape of our country and our world are hand in hand. and i don t believe the writers are trying to write about the world, they are following the characters in this story. the fact that they re lining up is terrifying. and it confirms margaret atwood s profound intelligence. it s a very upsetting one thing i think about all the time is the fact that it s so clear in our world, misogyny is at the rep till onbrain stem of all of these nationalist movements. you know, there s no so, there s no sense of making men s participation, in my experience, men seem to participate in pregnancies, but we re just going to punish the women. and it s something abou
i m brianna keilar with john berman this morning. we begin with major news just in, president biden will officially be making a controversial trip to saudi arabia. what was really an open secret is now being confirmed by the white house. the middle east trip next month will include visits to israel as well as the west bank. the controversy surrounds what biden said as a candidate, he vowed it punish the kingdom and make the saudi crown prince a pariah for the assassination of journalist jamal khashoggi. arlette saenz live at the white house with this official announcement, arlette. what are they saying? reporter: well, john, those comments from president biden appear to be in the rear view mirror as he is now preparing to travel to saudi arabia next month. the white house saying this will be part of a broader trip to the middle east, spanning from july 13th to july 16th, starting with those stops in israel and the palestinian west bank. the president will then travel on t
consumers. so, what does a slight recession look like? something that doesn t last too long and doesn t feel much worse than where we are right now. john, part of that comment is a political calculation. he doesn t want to concede, yes, we re diving into a recession. midterm coming up. midterms are a month from now. and recession is about the scariest word in politics or right up there. yeah, this obviously behooves the president to be able to downplay that. we heard from jamie dimon saying, that he does believe a recession is coming. it could be sort of significant, next year half a year or so. we talked about the possibility of the stock market falling another 20%. the hardest part, who have money in the stock market, they re seeing the market go down, and think to yourself, if the market is supposed to go down and all of these smart people are saying it s going to go down another 20%, i should get out now, with the idea that i ll get back in later. and the problem with tha
market go down, 35%, 50%, like it did in 2007 and 2008 and 2009 and it comes right back. so what you should be doing, if you have money you want to invest, is you should be investing small amounts every single month, every three months, dollar cost averaging into the market in either index funds, stocks that pay a dividend. you want to know you re in good quality investments, companies that make money, companies that do things, this is not the time to be speculating on some future company that may make money one day. that is not what you should be doing. what you should be doing is being consistent with your investments, if you have 5, 10, 15, 20 years until you need this money. also i love one other piece of advice you give for people, because you say if you re going
what s happening is on the price front. americans are dealing with some serious sticker shock here in the grocery store. check out some of these price gains. chicken prices up by more than 9% from a year earlier in november. pork up nearly 17%. that s the most since 1990. and bacon and breakfast sausage up almost 18%. that s the most on record. and these price spikes are driven by really strong demand, covid-related supply issues and then higher costs for energy and for labor. now the white house is arguing that a lack of competition in the meat industry is making matters worse. here s what president biden said a short while ago. the big companies are making massive profits. their profits go up, the prices you see at the grocery stores go up commensurate. the prices farmers receive for the products they are bringing to market go down. this reflects the market being distorted by lack of
