[ applause ] you're welcome. >> the vice president talking about the efforts to address climate change. but one of the big questions still of this year are is going to be where gas price also go 3.52 an average a gallon. talk about summer driving season. we have seen prices go up the last several months. big question what will we see this summer? two years ago in the summer of '22 that we saw $5 a gallon gas. >> steve: we were just talking about that. >> brian: the vice president said the same thing the president said, when asked, are you trailing in the polls, she said no. they just want us to forget about the numbers? >> well, it's so interesting because obviously when do you hear the president and vice president get those questions about the polls show you trailing former president trump what does that mean you? are right they say we have different polling. they may have internal polling which shows something different as opposed to what you get from "u.s.a. today" or fox or nbc any of the other places that do polling. when you do talk about these polls, you have to say is one is outlier or seeing a general trend? we talked a lot this week, brian about the "wall street journal" showed the seven swing states and biden losing to trump in six of seven within the margin of error. you are right. they are going to keep facing these headlines. what do the polls say? the big x-factor the economy, still. what i just talked about with gas prices and student loan forgiveness what all means will certainly have a major impact on those polls as well. >> brian: get a good pennsylvania poll. >> steve: the supreme court, mark, already said the biden administration couldn't do it. i don't get what they are doing. >> brian: student loans. >> this is a good point. i think we are going to hear more about this on monday. some lines out to the white house to see what it is. the journal says in their report this morning these will be broad outlines of what the white house hopes to do and something they will still have to go through regulatory process. the journal is alooting instead of just forgiving everybody that has $10,000 worth of student loans we will find that maybe you are a certain income cap. maybe you have not been paying for the past 20 years. there may be more conditions as opposed to just kind of a broad stroke of student loan forgiveness. >> brian: and they're not supposed to be able to do it and they keep doing that. >> lawrence: how can it be during election year. >> brian: it's a bribe. >> lawrence: courts and decide they are going to do in t. any way. >> steve: about time to buy some boats. >> brian: how about car loans? >> ainsley: this speaking of the election, this is what a lot of you are worried about. how far a dollar will take you. the 99-cent stores they are closing 371 stores in arizona, california, nevada and texas they will can't afford to encould up with all these stores. the reason covid. the rising levels of shrinking, shoplifting, employee fraud, administrative errors and inflation. >> steve: here's the thing. the "wall street journal," our sister publication has great item yesterday where they showed in 2019 if you bought $100 worth of stuff you would get four bags, you are would get everything on this table. in some cases over the last five years now, some food has gone up 50%. so, we're going to show you graphically. >> ainsley: this is a lot. i can't even believe this is what $100 would buy you. nowadays it would give you half of this. >> steve: this is what can you buy in 2019. let us show you how much stuff have you got to take out. in other words, today, you have to take out about $37 worth of stuff. so we want to take out the carrots. >> brian: bananas. >> ainsley: oat meal. oat milk. brian has bananas. >> brian: frozen meal. >> ainsley: that's the chicken. >> steve: shear a can of soda. >> ainsley: lasagna over there. >> steve: chocolate bar. >> brian: did you take the crackers out? >> ainsley: gallon of water take that out. >> ainsley: brian you're not helping your table only has two things. brian, take the crackers. so now this is whether a your is $100 will buy you. >> >> steve: this is $100 in 2024. and can you pan over here to the little table? this is all the stuff you bought in 2019 for 100 bucks but you can't get it anymore. sorry, no carrots. no hershey bar? >> brian: think about alice shopping for six kids on the brady bunch comes back with less bags and same amount of money. >> lawrence: half of the kids can't eat, brian. >> brian: probably the girls. >> steve: $37 worth of stuff from 2019 you can't buy today. >> lawrence: serious note? my family grew up on the 99-cent store. we didn't have a lot. my mom would go to the 99-cent store and at that time it's like 1.07 with tax per item and she would say hey, she had her groceries and we were allowed to get two things. i can't imagine having to pay 4 bucks now for some of the stuff that was once 99. that's the whole point of the 9 correct stores. everything is 99 cents. >> steve: my family did the same thing. okay you get tchotchkes and steven stuff a lot of people go to buy their groceries at the collar stories. >> ainsley: we went to the commissary dad served in the army prices were cheaper there i wonder if they have gone up there as well. >> steve: they don't have tax. >> brian: we feel your pain whether it comes to inflation and shopping this weekend and what they keep telling you about inflation is they say it was at 9%. only 3%. it stays at the 9 and then you add the 3. it doesn't go down to 3. it's all above. so you need it to go down to 2%. never get that money back when it went up to 9 it compounds. on a different note. probably most famous people in the world who did it the blue collar way. >> steve: skip bedell? >> brian: dwayne "the rock" johnson came up as football player had aspirations to go to the nhl. went to the cfl and got cut. in wrestling making $25 and $75 a night. then he became the most successful box office star in the movies. now is he going back to wrestling. i'm just wondering at any point did will cain talk to him. >> lawrence: right. >> ainsley: i'm glad you asked. here it is. >> will: as you mentioned, you are very influential to the point of this. we talked about it. you running for president, people talk about it, you've talked about it. >> yes. >> will: are you going to ever seriously run for president? answer that question, consider it seriously and make that that mountain top run for president? >> as of now, no. that's not my intention, will. i'm not a politician. i'm not into politics. i care deeply about our country. i'm a patriot and i believe you are, too, as well. and right now my desire and my priorities are my babies and school drop-offs and pick-ups and things like that. that's important to me. i also feel like in the spirit of bringing people together and bringing our country together. i don't know if that's the right move at this point. i don't know. so, truth is. >> will: as of now you say. >> as of now. >> steve: as of now a moment that you decide to get involved in politics and donald trump found this out the hard way. all the celebrities at him. all at his parties. even the clintons were at his wedding. everyone loves you when you are cooking the thing that makes you great. the moment that you entire into politics, is suddenly when the people that once said they loved you don't like you so much. >> brian: can you imagine if he hopped on the no labels ticket. maybe is he not ready now. his kids are too young he should talk to schwarzenegger. he was just as high when he made that move in a very polarized california and then the kennedys more democrat and alienated the republicans came out and moderate. you have to make tough decisions when you are a politician. schwarzenegger said he would have run for president even though he left unpopular. >> ainsley: only 51 years old. he has time. he is the most followed american man globally on social media. i follow him. it's really cute. he has tea parties with his kids. >> steve: and how many times have you heard the expression you vote for people you would like to have a beer with. everybody would like to have a beer with this guy. he is universally beloved by at love people. i think you are right, if he were to ever say okay, i'm going to run as a republican or a democrat, then suddenly a lot of people don't like him anymore. that actually got started not-i famously we saw that with donald trump as you just detailed, brian. but, remember when ronald reagan, the former governor of the great state of california, he decided, you know what? i'm going to go for it, after he did all that public speaking and he ran away with it. and for the most part, he kept all of his celebrity friends. >> ainsley: the rock is going to be the main event in wrestle mania. 40's first night in saturday on philly. >> steve: tomorrow night. >> ainsley: yesterday tomorrow night. he is the third generation. his grandfather. his father was the first black champion in wwe history. left of center in the hall of fame. and is he about to induct his grandmother in the hall of fame. >> brian: you got to figure as good a shape as is he in 53. >> ainsley: 51. >> brian: is he going to get thrown all around the ring how the hell do you do that. >> ainsley: most intense training in a long time he told will. >> brian: i just have to lock up with him and make sure. i would love to do that and just see if he could take a beating. >> lawrence: will you be making a camo appearance at the match?
