good to be with you. i m chris jansing in for katy tur. as we come on the air, the federal reserve has just spoken. i am told they are raising interest rates three-quarters of a point as the fed hopes to cool off the economy, slow down growth and in turn control inflation. that change can t come fast enough. inflation is at yet another record high, 9.1%, but this key question remains. will it help americans who are clearly hurting? the average cost of groceries has skyrocketed. a dozen eggs, $1.07 more expensive than last year. milk is now $4.15 a gallon, a nearly 60% increase from this time last year and ground beef $5 a pound compared to just $4.56 compared to 2021. gas is now 70 cents cheaper per gallon compared to a record high last month, but for a lot of folks, that is small consolation in the larger picture. we have a lot to talk about and a great panel to talk about it. host of the 11th hour on msnbc and senior business analyst stephanie ruhle, robert herzog and host
