The Labor Department reported that the price increases have been slowing in july as the pulling annual u. S. Inflation down slightly from its previous four decade high. This is President Biden yesterday at the white house on that. The price of somethings go up. And last month the price of other things went down by the same amount. The result . Zero inflation. People were still hurting. Zero inflation last month. Economists look at a measure of inflation and exhort food and energy prices. They call it core inflation. It is the lowest amount years and not. When you couple that and months. When you couple that with last years job last months job report it underscores the kind of economy weve been building. We are seeing a stronger labor our kit and jobs are moving and americans are working and we are seeing some signs that inflation may be moderating. As it happens we can build an economy from the bottom up and middle out. The wealthy do very well and everyone has a chance. It gives everyone a chance to make our grass. Host that was President Biden from the white house yesterday. Asking you this morning in the wake of these budget increases being celebrated in the white house this week, legislation on veteran and chip production in the u. S.

We just found out that he turned his back on the lack farmers and he had black peoples back we put him in office but he just turned his back on the lack farmers. They are boating voting for him at 40 still. And that is terrible. So like i have said in the past, we have people voting democrats host that is darrell in maryland. This is good morning. Caller good morning. Biden has done really bad and he has made things worse. Right now i believe that they will get rid of biden by the 25th amendment night impeachment. And come january, it will be a real mess. When the republicans take over the house and senate they will impeach everybody and pelosi will not be there there will be some kind of republican. Things will turn around and everybody will get angry. Host this issue locally good morning. Caller good morning. My question is, if there are so many jobs, why havent we started seeing reforms. Its a lot of job so why do we see people sitting at home collecting checks . And if we did put them to work it would take down some of the debt. Host what are your thoughts on President Biden . Caller President Biden i think is doing helping a lot of people but there are some people that are not being helped like me like that lower class because we are paying a lot of taxes and i think they need to help us and seniors with rent going up their annuity and pensions are not going up so they are hurting also. But i think he is trying to please a lot of people but the people that really need help they are not getting help from people i do not want him to give out all this money if i have to pay it back in inflation and gas. I will opt out of receiving any of the give us more money. Host that is sheila in maryland this morning. More from the column in the New York Times earlier this week asking the question we are asking you this morning. Is there a turning point in the biden presidency . Here is how baker sets that up in the first couple grabs. Easter biden has emerged from his edible isolation to a new political world. Suddenly the administration that cannot get any right that could not catch break was on a roll that any president could relish. Ager legislation cruising to a passage heading in the right direction the worlds most wanted terrorist killed after a two decade manhunt a string of congressional victories cap by a package for health, climate, and tax provisions compares favorably in the election record. Even perhaps fdr and lbj. Whether the victories of recent weeks will prove to be a decisive turning point for mr. Bidens presidency or a transitory moment in an otherwise bleak administration that remains to be seen. Host that is what we are asking you is it a turning point . Do you see a turning point . What are your thoughts on the biden presidency in the wake of these recent edges laid up wins. Republicans 202 7488001 democrats 202 7488000 and independents 202 7488002 just running through some of the major legislation that has been passed or is expected to pass soon. It is the Inflation Reduction Act that was taken up over the weekend and past if youre watching on cspan two hours and hours of those the house inspected to come in early tomorrow at 9 00 eastern to begin work to pass that Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will put that on the president s desk. She has a margin to do so if all republicans vote against the legislation. And there is the chips less act investing some 50 billion dollars in Semiconductor Manufacturing industry. The pact act honoring the pact that expands health care and benefits for those export exposed to burn pits. Signing that into law yesterday. And the gun bipartisan control legislation and the improvement approval for sweden to join nato. At his previous legislation that has moved through the Congress Legislation that President Biden has counted as wins for the administration we want to hear from you again. Democrats, republicans, independents this is in an independent and maryland. Go ahead. Caller good morning. First of all, the reduction in inflation act immediately changed it to Climate Change. There is no reduction information there is no reduction act. That will change. All the media change to climate because there is no such thing as that act. That was signed into law. Host i am a little confused this is what the house is moving tomorrow resellers of this include 340 million i believe is the number when it comes to Climate Change 370 million excuse me. That Health Care Provisions and that changes tax policy as well that is what is moving this week is that what you wanted to talk about . I think allows a lawsuit caller this is builtin in ill adelphia. Good morning. Your next. Caller good morning and thank you for taking my call. I like the what the president has done look at what he inherited when he came into the white house and look at it right now. Inflation has stabilized, prices are coming down slowly, some people are still hurting but gas prices are starting to come down. And then the thing with ukraine. And the resources we do not get this we do not give this president credit. If this was trump they would be praising him. I would like to make a comment on cspan it is funny how cspan keeps advertising republican and they have another country that comes up there and you cover it but you never cover democrats. I think you are being very unfair. You push a line of bs of bs up there. Host go ahead and keep watching cspan im sure you will find some events a few events we are covering today a democratic congresswoman merilyn pallone of the Reform Committee holding of field hearing with election experts to look into election integrity. And at 10 00 after this program this morning 10 a. M. Eastern ace focus on a preview of the next congress and director of Congressional Budget Office douglas will share his thoughts on what to expect if republicans take control of congress in the elections. And what the next congress will look like. Those are couple of events we are airing today but i am sure you will find Something Like if you keep watching. This is david in indiana go ahead. Caller thank you for taking my call. I do not see it as a turning point. Lets look around the rosecolored glasses and kind of see what may be that information the inflation went down a little bit to the lack of gas prices going down and less people are driving because of gas is still four dollars a gallon it started back two dollars a gallon for the Biden Administration. The job production if you go down and drill down and get Service Oriented companies with main impotence of that it makes people getting second jobs to afford the 44 gas price increase and all the other increases that we all are experiencing. Legislation is another 90,000 irs agents they have curved inflation. The inflation act they came up with beautiful little names to fit these scenarios of what they are wanting to do but not doing. Most of the economist say that inflation would go down and we might see something in two years and that might happen with the feds help. So i do not see it as a turning point i see it as an other another get up there and say what is on the card and move forward. Thank you. Host on the issue of jobs in the wake of the jobs report that her than expected jobs report last friday there is some of what President Biden had to say at the white house. 520 8000 jobs were added last month to this countrys employment. 528,000 we have now nearly double what we have. We have almost 10 million jobs since i took office. That is the fastest job growth in history. Today, we also have the lowest Unemployment Rate in america and the last 50 years. 3. 5 . Yes 3. 5 . Today there are more people working in america than for the pandemic began. In fact, there are more people working in america than at any point in american history. We are also seeing something that a few years ago that an expert said was asked was impossible which is American Manufacturing. As i took office, weve created 642 thousand American Manufacturing jobs in america. We seen the biggest and fastest job recovery in the since the 50s. Some people have given up on American Manufacturing the American People did did not and i did not. Thats why made a make it in america phrase the cornerstone of my economic plan. Todays report proves make it in america is not just a slogan it is my administration and it is a reality. Host that is President Biden after the jobs report came out friday. Asking you this morning if using the president has hit a turning point when it comes to his presidency. 202 7488001 four republicans democrats 202 7488000 and independents 202 7488002 tony in michigan go ahead. Caller good morning im not sure anything is a turning point anymore. It is all a mind manipulation of what reality is supposed to be. Besides, i hear democrats yelling i hear republicans yelling not today as much but all signs are pitted against each other above the top. So the only turning point that can happen is when citizens realize both sides are lying to us. Donald trump is a crook and Hillary Clinton is a crook. Joe biden is a crook. He talked about adding jobs to the market but i remember him smiling and laughing in early 2000 talking about how china is not a threat as he sent our manufacturing jobs over there. These politicians lightened as every single cycle. And you cannot talk call it a turning point until you know what happens. 700 page bill you cannot read them overnight. In the long term, you can tell and make a determination but upfront it is not possible. The real turning point that i said that needs to occur is our understanding of what analytic that is and how both sides are using a in psychology into manipulating us to believe their lines. Host what is an independent to do . We are coming up on a midterm election. We are over close to another president ial election. Caller there is nothing that is the sad thing. This is a twoparty system it is not a fair and open republic. We fight for corporate entities each time. The independents in my opinion is a person who is communing committing an act of political disobedience in the sense that they are not adhering to the propaganda. Donald trump talked about how he wanted law and order but there the most criminal people out there. And i understand that the fbi does look suspicious because hillary should have been treated this way and joe should have been treated this way that is fair but when you do it it creates a spread of truth becomes into a believable life. The independence is slowing we are watching a train wreck occur. Climate is horrible. Our environment is polluted to the top that theres micro plastics from the top and bottom of the ocean. Theres fertilizer in our water. We are being polled poisoned with gmos they put these things out here and they do not give us the full information. I am frustrated i guess you can tell but as far as independents go they need to stay strong and their conscience. Host i got your point tony this is ammo. Good morning. Caller i want to comment on what joe biden is doing. He is doing a good job. All the president s that we have had went through the same stuff he is going through but i do not understand and the republicans need to cut we are still going to do what we have to do. Continue on doing what you are doing on joe biden i am with you all the way. Have a good day. Host amanda in ohio independent you are next. Caller thank you for taking my call. Democratic callers it doesnt make any sense. What has bided none that is positive . Weve lost eight and a half million job manufacturing jobs is 1980 where was joe biden all that time . He was obamas Vice President for years where were they . They had the votes and the house and the senate and they did absolutely nothing. Medicare for all anymore i havent heard anything have you heard anything about Bernie Sanders anymore . Host what we are asking is what you think of the legislation that has passed recently theres another major bill sent to pass tomorrow. Caller when obama was a president he sequestered them. They sequestered that the air force jets four flyer voters flyovers and so forth it makes no sense if you want to combat inflation you have to reduce bending. It is not make sense when they are doing like the chip bill i endorsed back but it was supposed to be 56 million. 56 billion and it ended up being 200 billion. Host the democrats say this bill is paid for it will not add to the national debt. Here is whether bill would do. It would allow america are medicare to negotiate Prescription Drug prices and extend Affordable Care act through 2025. That is as the 2024 president ial election and it would push 370 billion towards various efforts to combat Climate Change. And all of that is paid by 50 corporate minimum tax and funding to expand irs enforcement to go after those that are not paying their fair share when it comes to taxes. That is the Inflation Reduction Act as kratz dubbed it passed in the senate by sunday. They are expected to pass it tomorrow when they come in at 9 a. M. Eastern. You can watch it here on cspan. This is sandra and florida. Democrat good morning. Caller good morning i am so surprised that i got through i have a lot to say and i have been watching. Anyway for a quick note this morning, i hope that all the people that call this and claim this is not a turning point on Biden Administration i ask at some point in the future i put up Donald Trumps laws that he passed in the first two years and then in the next four years and have republicans call him and compare them to joe bidens two years. That is all i am saying. I want to thank you so much. That is sandra. This is less in new jersey. Republican good morning. Caller good morning how are you today . Host im doing well. Caller ok i disapprove of everything this guy has done since he took office. I can the country in general. And im really not im not really republican so much i will do what is right by my country and my people. And i do not see anything that this administration has done that has brought us together in any way. It is pretty much pushed us further apart. And it is a very scary time i think for the country. Host yesterday the president signed the pact at law the efforts to extend the v. A. Health for those exposed to toxic burn is that something you support . Caller yeah. Our veterans fought for us and they went there for our country. Our country sent them they are and they did their job. So, we need to take care of our own first. And that is the problem i have. Host so that is one of the bills that the administration has tallied this week another one is the chips plus active investing 54 billion in the Semiconductor Manufacturing research in the u. S. With the industry trying to compete with china is that something you support . Caller well the thing is there is that our politicians sold out in that weight many years ago and continue down that path until we find ourselves now we owe it almost completely to china fo
