john: another fox news alert to kick off america reports for this thursday. biden administration cancelling a massive oil and gas lease sale in alaska and the gulf of mexico. scrapping the potential to give drivers desperately needed relief at the pump. hi, i m john roberts in washington. gillian, good to see you again. gillian: great to be with you, i m gillian turner in for sandra smith. so, america s economic woes are continuing to mount. one red flag economists are pointing to now today, april wholesale prices. up 11% from a year ago. one part of the overall inflation problem. consumer prices up 8.3% from a year ago, a slight drop from march but still hovering near a 40-year high. john: filling your tank could drain your wallet. the national average of gas prices a record high, costing 4.41 a gallon. look at where it is compared to a year ago, gillian. gillian: tremendous pressure on the biden administration. americans are skyrocketing with the cost of everyday
of a single party state. you know, the state had used to have a long tradition of democrats having a presence there, but really it boiled down to joe manchin and i think that result seems to indicate that the sort of joe manchin wing is very small and it certainly is not large enough to overcome trump s dominance in that state. but when you look at nebraska, you have the added factor here of an actual scandal, credible sexual assault allegations against herbster in the last several weeks of this campaign, and it seems that even trump can t overcome that. trump may be able to get away with a lot when it comes to those kinds of allegations, but he can t transfer that over to other candidates in a lot of cases. it is not the first time that trump has endorsed candidates who have been accused of misconduct, he did it in alabama, with roy moore, he did it in pennsylvania, prior to that his candidate chosen candidate dropping out of the race, and in this case, in nebraska, he
it was 8.5% in march. however, that is negligible as we re stuck in record territory. prices for most everything are still well above pre-pandemic levels and nearly 6% higher than when president biden took office. here is the president hitting all of his alleged culprits, including senator rick scott, who called the president incapacitated and called for him to resign. president biden: the first cause of inflation is a once in a century pandemic and the second cause mr. putin s war in ukraine. what s the congressional republican plan? they don t want to they want to raise taxes and lower. senate rick scott laid it out in a plan. the ultra maga agenda. harris: rick scott is from florida, not wisconsin. senator, he is also governor hard to forget. republicans like senator john thune say they are finished with president biden s finger pointing. president biden is flailing around swinging blindly hoping that something will land. and his latest target, of course, is rick s
take about $70 to fill up. before, used to be 40, 45. this is insane. almost $100 to full my tank up. another 1 1/2 months before it really breaks me. i thought it was going down but now it s the same price as my coffee. my fun could go elsewhere. i m trying to live in my travels. go from work to home. biden can do so much. so i appreciate anything and everything that he tries to do. with the influx of gas prices also suggest is that president biden is going to have a similar legacy as jimmy carter. martha: president biden blaming putin again today, about an hour ago, pandemic and the newly coined ultra maga republicans for the prices that we re seeing. former vice president pence had plenty to say about that, the supreme court, elon musk and twitter and a lot more. we begin with john barrasso, the number 3 senate republican leader. good to have you with us. thanks very much. there s no better barometer to go different places than the country. those were from
it s going to kill the country, these prices. they have no choice but to fill up my gas tank and pay this money. there s no other choice. definitely too much. it has to change. hopefully soon. fair, unbalanced and angrier. welcome. i m neil cavuto. this is your world. a more expensive world. trying to find relief in the inflation report that we got out today wasn t as high as it was the past month. year over years it s in and out of 40 year highs. relentless pick up in prices that goes traumatically behind the 8.3% surge that we did see to growing concerns that everything we touch and buy is getting pricy and pricier by the hour, by the day, by the week, by the month amid signs right now that compounding all of this, a supply chain crisis that is likely to keep this extending for months. some fear the rest of the year to come. is that too soon too fast? we re on it. we re also on this vote going on in the united states senate right now to try to codify roe v. wade.
