look at that cpi number when it hits. i think january 12th is the next one, then february 10th. that s the number people should be focused on and that s the number the white house is focused on because they know the political salients of it with one senator from west virginia. i was going to add to what hans is saying, it s not just manchin worrying about inflation, though he s the most vocal. he was hearing from moderate domes mid last year, that s what they re looking at when they look at re-election prospects. that s of concern among those on the line on whether they ll be re-elected or not. no question about it. it s a huge issue and they re hearing it from constituents. hans pulling out cpi, i appreciate that. appreciate not pulling out cpe, we ll keep working on that. coming up next, history says depositions are facing losses this november, but can they stave off a blowout in the 2022 midterms?
