we re told to brace, it will get worse. one energy analyst predicting the national average will hit $5 a gallon around june 17th. that s just a couple of weeks from now. the message from the white house, though, continues to be don t blame us. when the price goes up at the pump typical families feel it. when the price of diesel goes up it affects logistics and transportation costs and this is unfortunately the impact of putin s war in ukraine. this is a global inflation issue that has certainly been affected by things like the aggression in ukraine that were hard to predict. give us a forecast. where can you have gas prices by the end of the year? where will they be? what you are doing right now is trying to put me in the position of being a forecaster. harris: all right, if that weren t so sad, right, we could laugh about it. that is your job to know what is coming down the pike. wow. president biden s meeting with the fed chair jay powell yesterday kicked off with

They need to know that the next speaker is going to be honest and wont go back on their word. With republicans focusing firmly on themselves, the question of funding for ukraine, which congress controls, remains undecided. It does worry me. And.
