tv   CNN Tonight  CNN  April 12, 2023 8:00pm-9:00pm PDT

8:00 pm
yeah. welcome back to cnn tonight. this hour. we're talking with some of our favorite reporters about their scoops on the stories that they are covering for us this week here with me tonight we have shimon preoccupies our let signs harry antin and rachel solomon. so let's jump right in republican senator tim scott, announcing the launch of his presidential exploratory committee today, after months of testing the waters and he's starting with a listening. tour and visits to iowa. so what is the path for tim scott r that size has been talking to her sources. so our let's let's start with who is tim scott? how is he introducing himself and selling himself to voters? listen, this is the introductory period for yet another republican who might be entering the race. he is just doing in that exploratory committee a period now, but sims cut the senator from south carolina has long been seen as a rising star
8:01 pm
within the republican party. he is the loan. black republican senator in congress at this moment, and in his announcement launch, he really leaned into his own personal history. that's something that people close to him believe is something that will be a big selling point with people. the son of a single mother who grew up in poverty, and he really emphasized that as he tried to talk about what he can offer to the american people, but also offer some type of connections with them as well. should we listen to it did okay, so let's listen to a little bit of how he was introducing himself. i was raised by a single mother and poverty, the spoons in our apartment. plastic not silver, but we had faith. we put in the work and we had an unwavering belief that we, too, could live the american dream. i know america is a land of opportunity , not a land of oppression. i know it because i've lived it. that's why it pains my soul to
8:02 pm
see the biden liberals attacking every wrong of the ladder that helped me climb. hmm that's interesting or let what's his plan for dealing with former president trump, who is also in the race? well he was asked about that today in an interview with fox news, and he really just completely avoided talking about president trump. he tried to argue that this is race is about president biden, the current occupant of the white house. and that is a strategy that you do see at times play out within the republican party . but at some point there is going to have to be this engagement right with the big elephant in the room, which is donald trump. going to look like we'll see exactly. we'll see how he does it. i mean, one thing that's interesting about tim scott. is he really projects? this optimist, you know, happy type of attitude when he tries to talk about the country, and sometimes that runs contrary to you know, the abrasive nature that we've seen from the former president himself, so we'll see when scott actually tries to
8:03 pm
engage with donald trump. i imagine it might be quite some time. i always find it in interesting as kind of this person who is not, you know, i don't cover politics. obviously i'm interested in it. but right now there's just thing where everyone just wants to avoid. talking about the elephant in the room. and for how much longer can they do that when he's dominating the news cycle, as he is with everything that's going on, and every time they're asked. well, how are you going to fight with trump? how are you going to go against him? and they just rather avoid that when really, that is one of the key issues of the race. yeah you know, it's exactly what you know when i watched that ad. i just think it's like george w. bush's republican party. i feel like that would be the ad that i would expect. you know, george w. bush or someone who liked george w. bush to actually run and i just say, there's this really fit the moment that we're in. and you know you mentioned the fact that you know donald trump is this big elephant in the room? you know, he's garnering 50% of the primary vote at this point. what is tim
8:04 pm
scott getting 12% at most? did an exploratory committee give me a break. ron desantis hasn't even gotten in, and ron desantis is pulling in the twenties. if not, why not? why not do it now, why not try to? yes it's in a exploratory, you know, committee and you're in the early stages. but why not make some noise? why not engaged? why not? harry's already dismissing him at that, saying he has 1% and he also dismisses me all the time. do that. that makes you feel any better know are like one thing that i wonder, and i think about is senator scott is known as a good fundraiser. he certainly known as someone who is well liked, certainly, at least within his party. how much does that factor in when the concern i think among the party is that he doesn't have the name recognition. so how important are factors like you can fundraise? well, you get along well, but you don't have that name recognition yet with the fundraising. i mean, he does come from a very strong point. he has about $20 million sitting in his campaign. account from when he ran for senate. he is
8:05 pm
able to raise that money raising that money helps you buy as helps you get your name out. but certainly i mean, he is going to have to be out there shaking the hands, trying to find a way to differentiate himself within this party at this time. one thing you know, i talked to someone close to his operation a bit earlier today, they feel that he has an in with evangelical voters. he can talk about his faith very easily. south carolina's estate with a big evangelical popular nation. iowa is a state with a big, big evangelical population. if you look back to 2016 part of the reason that ted cruz was able to win the iowa caucuses was because of those evangelical voters, so perhaps that would be a way for him to get some recognition within iowa. if you went iowa it helps you in new hampshire. go on to south carolina could be there. you know, it's also interesting. it'll be curious to see if he leans into some of his ideas in terms of his economic policy, right. i mean, he talks about home ownership and just the challenges that we have within
8:06 pm
the housing industry, and we certainly do. but even in terms of his story, he talked about how he and his mom rented through high school. one thing that's a really big challenges. black homeownership. the black homeownership rate has number is practically not budge in 10 years, right? and so i think, even leaning into perhaps some solutions, leaning into some ideas there, his economic policies might be able to win him some some boats. perhaps i guess the reason i'm so skeptical. yes because you know, i like to look back at history and where candidates are polling who went eventually went on to win the nomination. and if you're pulling in donald trump's position, you know you win. what? like 75% of the time. if you're ron desantis position, you win something you know, close to about a third of the time, maybe 40% of the time someone who's polling and tim scott position at this particular point given where trump and desantis carpooling they've never won. now that doesn't mean they can't write. history is made to be broken, but i think that's why i'm just so skeptical, interesting, harry. so in other words, if somebody so it's i would say
8:07 pm
it's early, so you don't think that he can there's nothing in history that says that somebody can turn it around at this point if they get in now, given where he's pulling, there have been a few examples of people have been pulling less than 5% of gun on the win the nomination polling less than 5% at this point, bill clinton's one jimmy carter's another one. even donald trump. we don't remember this, but donald trump is actually pulling less than 5% at this point, but the difference right now is that we have two candidates who are already securing such a large proportion of the vote. and while it is early, it turns out that at least two story berkeley. these early polls do in fact, give us a pretty good indication about who's for real, and he's probably just going to be in and we'll say adios, amigos to them eventually, and the data reporter would know. yeah harry wouldn't have no life . that's what i look at. where um so but our let surely he has seen those numbers, but he's in it for his getting in it if it appears for a reason, and you know, this is the time where he can test out different messages
8:08 pm
try to appeal to different types of groups of you know, there are some um, who say oh, this could yes, he's he wants to run for president. but there are some who say oh, maybe he's trying out for a number two spot or for something else trying to build up name recognition for another position, a future run down the line. that could all be factors into it. of course, his team says he wants to run or he's exploring whether he fully wants to run. but there is that element of it in terms of where he is on policy. i know it's pretty early, but he has a history of track record shimon with working on police reform, right? i mean that this is a george floyd bill. this is something that he's been part of, but he won't go as far as the democrats want him to go. and certainly, you know, folks who are looking for police reform and some of the constraints on policing and some of the other issues. he's more into mental health and giving more money to law enforcement but some of the key issues that are needed for what police what
8:09 pm
people feel some of the victims of police violence, the reform that's needed, he's not willing to go as far as far and look, i think coming who knows what's gonna happen as we get close closer to the election, but right now there's so much focus on guns and his stance is very clear, obviously on guns and i wonder what's going to happen as we go through this and more deeper into the election and what role guns are going to have in the election and where he's going to stand on this stick around. thank you very much for all of that. so fox news got in trouble in court today, a judge accused fox of hiding evidence on the eve of the dominion defamation trial, but on air they're telling their voters still what they were there viewers. i should say what they want to hear. ah! so harry antin is here to crunch the numbers for what this looks like, and we'll talk about all that now.

8:14 pm
at the all new carfax .com. another twist on the brink of the trial and the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against fox, the judge today hammering fox's lawyers for possibly withholding key evidence, saying, quote i am very concerned that there have been misrepresentations to the court. this is very serious. the judge announcing plans to appoint a special master, meaning an outside attorney to dig into whether fox lied about rupert murdoch's role, claiming it was not as prominent as it perhaps. was this in an effort to hide evidence, thereby limiting what emails, texts and documents they had to turn over and discovery. the new sanctions imposed allowed dominion to conduct more depositions from see some key witnesses and fox must make those witnesses available and pay for the
8:15 pm
depositions. fox is denying any wrongdoing. but this is another black eye for fox to be accused of lying and misinformation as part of a trial overlying and misinformation. harry antin has been reporting on the fox news audience. harry i know you've been crunching the numbers in terms of the audience and what fox is now reporting on, but before we get to that, i just want to take a beat and talk about this trial of what it means because it is huge in the media, and in i would say in the country, i mean for everything that they have that they mean to the country. and so, shimon there you're saying jury selection tomorrow, jury selection will start tomorrow we'll see how long that takes. but then there's reports that rupert murdoch maybe taking to stand as early as monday. um look, i mean this trial. i think it's going to be one of the biggest trials we're probably gonna ever cover because it's just going to have so much information. there's all this intrigue about what was going on at fox. but the thing is, just think about what happened today. a judge is basically accusing
8:16 pm
fox lawyers of lying. he basically said it to them, he said to them, an omission is a lie and what he's accusing them of is refusing to give over. her discovery information that is critical to the dominion attorneys, and every time they're in court, and every time something happens. new information comes out and we're like, oh, my god. and now you have this judge, accusing them of essentially lying. ordering a special master and we haven't even started. this trial testimony hasn't even begun. can you imagine what's going to happen when these guys start testifying and the information that's going to come out? i mean, part of me is skeptical that they will. part of me feels like fox will settle. i don't know i have. this has been my whole thing with this case. why hasn't fox settled now? is it a thing that dominion is like you've screwed us over so bad? we're going to punish you, and we're gonna drag this out as long as we can, or is it that fox is just willing to take their chances and instead of paying the billion dollars that
8:17 pm
dominion once they'd rather say, you know what? we're going to go with a jury let the jury decide it's not affecting them, though. that's the thing they're not losing any viewers over there. they're not. no they're not. and in fact, their viewers, many of their viewers don't know this is right because they're so locked in an echo chamber that they have never heard. that they've been misled through some of this and that the guests made stuff up out of whole cloth and, you know, pedaled all of these laws, so that's really interesting if they get away with this without their viewers, knowing you know what has been happening in the fact is, they're telling their viewers what their viewers want to hear, right? i mean, one of the things that i think is interesting is when you break down the polling data, right? and you look okay. do you essentially believe the falsehood that joe biden did not legitimately win the election? the vast majority of fox news viewers believe that now fox news could tell them you know some of their hosts do tell the truth, but some obviously have not been telling the truth. but if the fox news viewer just
8:18 pm
wants to go and watch something else they could, they could go and watch one america news network or newsmax, where the even more higher percentage of those viewers don't believe that joe biden legitimately won the election. so at the end of the day, you know, i think, as we know, through all the stuff that's come out. a lot of these hosts made, abend said. you know what we're going double down on what our viewers want to hear. because if we don't, we're afraid they're going to go watch something else. that's one of the things that we've learned from all of the testimony that's come out in this already is that that's their business model. give the viewers what they want to hear. but one of the things that you've crunched the numbers on is lately you know, there was a question of will fox abandoned donald trump? and will they start to favor ron desantis? and there seemed to be a dalliance, a short dalliance with ron desantis where they were doing that. that's changed. now that definitely is no longer the case. i mean, look at how many times donald trump has been mentioned over many look at this. we have a we have a graphic on it. i believe it's something upwards. look at this 3219 times in the last 30 days,
8:19 pm
the last 30 days ron desantis just 731 times. nikki haley, 1 90, mike pence. 1 43 tim scott 56. so if you total up all the other people they don't even come close to donald trump. the fact is donald trump is who the fox news audience wants to hear about. that's why i had that interview last night with tucker carlson, which of course was classic donald trump, you know. oh oh, they court officers. they were crying. they were crying when i was brought in. oh my god, it's like, how many times have you heard that where you know, you know, donald trump says. oh oh, they were crying. they were so sad. they had grown men were having tears. it's just, you know, it's the same old hits from it was seven years ago or eight years ago, but apparently it's still plays with at least some, but also, you know, and the thing that it doesn't stop some of the you know the politicians from going on fox, right, like politically i just feel nothing's changed. you know what about that are like, no, i mean, they were going to keep going on fox because those are the voters that they need to court and so far nothing that has come up
8:20 pm
during this pending lawsuit really has changed any politicians factoring? i don't think it will change it just because they know the massive audience that fox is able to draw and i think that politicians will continue to go on there, regardless of what happens. is it out of the question that they would settle? if let's say for $1 billion, they make so much money. is it financially? that would destroy them? no, i don't think it would destroy them. i think. what's interesting, though about this case is that not only does dominion have to prove that it was defamed. but it then has to prove why it why it should get a hunch. $1.6 billion right and there are few things to think about. in terms of damages. it's the actual business losses. it's the potential business losses and it's reputational damage. so dominions has for its part. look we've lost 20 customers. we've lost 39 jurisdictions that we were potential opportunities. and perhaps that doesn't sound like a lot. but when you actually look at some of their contracts with some states in different jurisdictions. some of these contracts are we're hot, tens of millions of dollars each right. mini is saying, look,
8:21 pm
we've lost money. we've lost business opportunities. but it's also the reputational damage that it's claiming because of this defamation. which is a lot harder to prove. it's a lot harder to prove it's a lot harder to quantify. it's very hard to figure out what they could have made what they know of us heard of dominion before this right. and so i think for the future it destroy them. it completely destroyed the company . but this question of settlement i just for me and following this, it has always been. why would fox want all this information? to come out and maybe they gambled and they thought, well, this would never come out and we're seeing indications from the court that they're still hiding information . so perhaps, you know, to your point. i think it's it could be that they're going to say you know what? we're going to lose this case, but we may win on damages. so you know what? we'll wait? we'll just get this to a jury and then on damages, perhaps that is where they will be lower than 1.6 could be long lower and also look you, they, you know, if they win this case , somehow that's going to be a huge victory for them. a huge
8:22 pm
victory for them. no one sees how that's possible. but imagine if they do you never know. so perhaps the gamble and all of this for them is, let's just go. the like the money. there's no way that the money is an issue here right for them that i can fox? yeah for fox for a billion dollars. court could be dominions like we don't want it. let's just keep going. i think it's interesting when you say something like, oh, maybe they weren't anticipating this. you know, when i was a kid, i looked up to my parents. i said, oh, wow. they really know what they're doing. you know when i first started working with people who are a little bit older than me, i said, man, they really know what they're doing. and the older i get, the more i realized how little i know most people know we talk about what we were talking about. during the break. how we thought our parents had it all together. and then, as we became adults, we realized this is really hard argument is maybe they have no idea what they're doing. they have no idea. just gambling. the other thing is it. fox can be lying to their lawyers. i mean, clients, you know that look, i mean, i'm not saying there's any
8:23 pm
proof of that. but we have to see what will be developed as this. the fact that they're bringing in an outside lawyer. the judge is so furious there he's bringing in an outside person to figure out what the hell is going on here because he's you know, the judges just saying i'm done. i'm sick of it. and we need to figure out what is going on here. one thing i will say in terms of this is something that i found really interesting today. just in terms of preparation is that dominion was obscure before 2020, right, but the entire industry it's pretty obscure. i mean, when you look at some of the other meaning is one of the top three of these sort of voting systems right, so it was obscured but still a major player, and so when you have that type of market concentration you know, it'll. it'll be interesting to see what their damages and what the sort of impact to them negatively if so, was alright friends. thank you very much for all of that. we want to get to this louisville police releasing the 911 calls from that deadly mass shooting of the bank. shimon has details on a call for help from inside the building at a frantic call from the shooter's mother. 2911. so many

xfinity rewards creates experiences big and small, and once-in-a-lifetime. muscles. absolutely free text g a r d e n +2231231. cnn news central tomorrow at nine eastern . louisville police releasing 911 calls from the mass shooting at the bank where five people were killed. one of those calls was from a woman hiding in a closet. has anybody been shot? yeah. how many people i don't know. probably eight, or 98 or nine people have been shot. uh huh. are you with any of them? hiding here comes back. shots
8:29 pm
fired. yeah so awful. cnn's senior crime and justice correspondent sherman prokupecz has been working this story. sure it's so awful to hear these anguished calls, and i'm just wondering why did police believe them? i mean, the shooter in this case is dead. what's the law enforcement? purpose of look, i think we're at a point in this country where people need to understand how horrific this is, and i think law enforcement is just tired of hiding. behind any kind of secrecy or not telling us exactly what happened because i think it's important for people to understand how horrific these moments are for people's lives to witness this kind of carnage to have to hide in the room and not sure that you're going to live every second. i mean, that woman on that phone call was like that wasn't a very long
8:30 pm
call, but she was on the phone. when are they getting here? when are they getting here? and that is the reason why i think, in part why they released the other parties. just legally, they have to. you know, we're going to ask for it. others are going to ask for it. and it needs to come out and i'm sure if someone objected to it, some of the family members or someone they may not have, but they gave fair notice to the to the people involved to the victims to the others that they were going to do this and so they put it out and i personally i think it's important for people to listen. i've listened to way too many of these, including children. but it's important because perhaps perhaps somehow some change what happened to believe that you know, obviously there. the other argument is that we're getting numb to it. um either way, i'm obviously i'm for transparency. obviously we fight for transparency and particularly you in terms of, you know, we do this foia requests of the police and we do want to know what's happened, but listening to it. it's just really hard. it's hard and it's certainly hard in the moment and no matter how many times you listen to it, it
8:31 pm
doesn't get easier. you know, the other thing that the police did today was and we don't normally get this is that they released the 911 call from the mother, the mother of the gunman , the shooter, she gets a call from his roommate who says he left a note here describing what he was about to do, and she makes this frantic call to police. asking for help to take a listen to that. just my compound. my son might be you couldn't have a gun and he's heading toward the old national , uh, from the louisville, main street. old national. you have the like his mother. i'm so sorry. i'm getting details secondhand. i'm learning now, my lord. okay and what exactly is going on with him? what he's saying he's doing? i don't know. i'm getting this information from him. he never heard anyone really good kids. his roommate called me. he he's not violent,
8:32 pm
never done anything, okay? and you don't believe he owns guns. i know he wasn't only guns. gosh that's so incredible shimon to hear that, because that's different than what we think of as the profile of a mass shooter where she says he's not violent. please don't punish him. he doesn't own any guns that's so different often. what we hear parents say is yeah, he's been acting really strangely. um we know that he has been, you know, whatever hurting animals like there are usually warning signs that the parents know, but she wasn't living with his mother. but that's just so different than what we normally hear. right and just to you, you know , just to make that point, even clearly when the nashville shooting happened that shooter the parents were aware in that this person liked guns, had guns and told this person get the guns out of the house and believed that the guns were taken out of the house. um yeah , i think you make a good point there that this profile here is a little different. um and
8:33 pm
obviously you could tell it's complete shock from the mother. but most mothers are shocked when their kids wind up doing this course. of course. i know this is a totally futile question. but i'm going to ask it because maybe something has shaken loose on capitol hill. when something like this happens . do they talk about it? do they talk about having a meeting? do they talk about to the politicians talk about what are we going to do now? i mean, i think you often just say kind people kind of retreat into their corners, with democrats saying we need stronger gun restrictions. we need assault weapons bans. that's something biden calls for. over and over, and republicans say no. we need more investments in in mental health and trying to go that route. um but we had the shooting monday, the week before nashville and it just doesn't seem like anything is really shaking the conversation loose when it comes to gun control up on capitol hill. you know, biden has said he has done everything that he can he has he done every executive. he's done a lot, but he want to see as the assault
8:34 pm
weapons ban. he wants to see more background checks, and that just is not going to happen unless do that single unless people are elected to congress now, one thing that biden argues is that he wants people to put the pressure on their lawmakers or elect people into congress. who can pass that kind of stuff . i think what you saw in tennessee, you did see really these animating force is so many people upset about what happened. upset about the fact that the republican led state house i wasn't doing more. um we'll see if gun control can actually be a big motivator when it comes to the next election, but i think until the makeup is changed in congress, not much more is going to get done. there was modest reform that was passed last summer in the wake of you, baldy. but people pretty much are in their corners at this point, but i also feel and i think maybe howard could talk about this more just sort of people, you know that i have talked to who are victims of these horrific situations in their horrific crimes are just hopeless that there will be any
8:35 pm
kind of change, you know, and that just they don't feel the numbers of their the support is there but people are doing it at the at the i mean, just that people don't feel entirely hopeless. they are doing it at the state level. i mean, you know, connecticut has done things after sandy hook. and as you know, florida has done things after parkland, and maybe that's what it takes. i mean, i hate to hear people that are in texas. certainly i mean, you know that you follow the families are just crushed. the fact that nothing can be done and they've been working so hard to try and get stuff done, and they it's impossible. i mean, our let was sitting on it right. everyone just goes another partisan corners. you know, you mentioned connecticut very blue state. florida is an interesting example. right which is not a very blue state. in fact, it's a state that's becoming more red where we actually did see some things occur there. maybe that gives us some hope as a nation that things can occur. even in states where you might not expect it, but the fact is, is that we are further apart on guns and our views of guns and gun control than we've been in the last 50 years in this country. so you know, when we
8:36 pm
started this segment, i'll be honest with you. you know, maybe it's the late hour but my mind was so scrambled. i thought we were going to be talking about nashville. i really was because it's just they're happening so often and so close together, your mind gets confused and it can lead to you becoming numb and that's something i think we all have to just fight so much against alone. i mean, we just in my last panel an hour ago, there was confusion, too, because it's hard for us to keep track. at this point they were reporting every single week. i really think people well. is that is that is that a real fear that people are going to get dumped? yes, i think so, because i think they were just protecting our own mental health. you can't focus on you can't hear too many of those 911 calls without it really having a visceral and sickening effect on you would also add. in addition to seeing different groups, sort of, you know, hide to their different partisan corners. we're also hearing silence from some groups like corporate america, right, and maybe part of that is because they feel like it is way too hot to touch
8:37 pm
and because we are so divided that they feel like look unless there as an incentive for me to insert myself into this really controversial, really, you know, hot topic. we're going to stay out of it altogether. but that has also been deafening that you haven't really seen a lot of major corporations step up and take a position. that's such a good point. because after some school shootings they did, and this time with this spate of shootings, they haven't alright , everybody stick around because there is actually good news to get to about inflation. it fell to its lowest level in nearly two years where hell is going to break down? what this means for price of the price of gas and groceries and all the credit card debt. that americans have racked up. we'll be right back. i like to move it. move it. you're like the w we're reinventing our network. come on, move it! moment. come on.

melanie's known in washington, and this is cnn. okay now, for a bit of good news. inflation has fallen to its lowest levels since may of 2021. this is the ninth consecutive month where inflation is down, and gas prices are down more than 17% from 2022. but prices are still high for food and housing, and there's still trouble with consumer credit card bills. where debt is now at a record high. cnn's business correspondent rachel solomon is here to fill us in, so we're held first. what's the answer for credit card debts? so we all know we're not supposed to have it right? but life is what it is. and so sometimes you do have it. so what do you do if you are carrying credit card debt, while ted rossman at bankrate, senior industry analyst tells me credit cards .com says, try to transfer it over to a 0% balance transfer, right lock and 0% so move that from 21% and i should say that credit card rates by
8:43 pm
the way are at record highs at 20. 0.21% on average. they have never been higher than that right? so move it over to lock in a 0% balance transfer, he says. that will give you some time to move it over gives you 21 months in some cases as much as 21 months, and so then you can as long as you don't add to it, sort of 21 months, divided the mount, pay it off every month and just try to get it over with. so if inflation is coming down great news. why is food still so high? it takes a long time to have inflation come down, right. and so there was some factors. food food. inflation can be really volatile because it depends on what's happening with weather. it depends on what's happening with livestock. so many different things. but we can show you just some of the examples. if you're going to the grocery store and you're hearing inflation is down. but you're looking at some of these categories thinking, uh, not really. right so i mean, you can see eggs. they've come down 10.9% on a monthly basis, but we should say i mean, egg prices have been very high. they're still higher than they were a year ago. lettuce prices have come down. banana has come down, but breakfast cereals,
8:44 pm
they have still gone up, so you're still feeling that pinch when you go to the grocery store . this was supposed to be the year of significant declines in inflation. that's what the federal reserve chairman jerome powell said 2023 will be a year of significant declines. i don't know if we're at a significant part of it yet, but we are seeing declines because 5% on an annual basis, guys remember when we were talking about inflation at 9.1% in june? i mean, it got really, really what was the most expensive for? come on. you must expect. i don't know that the most expensive thing would have been the trip that i took to woodstock, vermont. there you go. okay so that was the most expensive inflation or no that was like to spend money, harry. focus, harry. i don't like about that is now i have to pay a lot more for my cookie. crisp cereal, so, but we're getting now we're getting to the important thing. right the bananas being, you know that. that's good, because now i can eat healthier, less carbs, more fruits eating healthier because
8:45 pm
of the price. that's that's why with yes, absolutely. okay let is it too soon to figure out what impact this will have on 2024. i mean, things can change right before that visit. already prices have started to come back down. but there are also on their way back up. i mean, things things can change. but the white house and the president are fully aware of what a liability this can be heading into 2024. i mean, harry knows well, this is the top concern to all american voters is how much things are costing them how much money they're going to have saved for the future. these are all things that people are taking into. consideration and the president , you know they're trying to promote things that they're doing. you know, they're trying to take credit for some of these jobs that are being created overall in the economy, but also announcement that announcements companies are making a bad investments for the future, trying to talk about how that ties back to their plans. but bottom line is many americans are just still not feeling like they're doing well, even if
8:46 pm
inflation is slowly dropping a bit. it's just still something that isn't hitting people just yet. this is still the number one when people say what's most important to economy is number one when you inflation is number one, you know you can look at it in so many different ways. right? i think what's so interesting, though, is you know you try and analyze voter behaviors. how odd this economy is, in some ways, right, you know, inflation still high, although it's coming down, but unemployment is incredibly low. so as a voter, you know you're trying to say is this economy good? is it bad people getting raises like that's the thing like are are the raises are the money that people making isn't matching. what's what reality is and i it's a really, really great point schimmel that the truth is that it does depend on industries right. so in some industries, we're seeing that wages have actually outpaced inflation. but by and large, you know, i mean, certainly when inflation was at 9% i mean, unless you got a 10% bump. it wasn't right. and so i think that is the tough reality of this environment that we're in that job creation is plentiful.
8:47 pm
can you get a job? absolutely maybe you gotta raise that's great. but is it keeping up with inflation? maybe not. even if you are making more. you still feel like you're bringing home less, and that is a really tough position to be in, you know, even though my twitter handle is forecaster entin, you know, i know how difficult it is to forecast the economy. it's like basically impossible. i mean, it's like trying to predict the economy a year from now. it's like trying to predict the weather a year from now, mohammed al aryan, who's a very prominent economist a few weeks ago and cnn international, and i asked him how tough forecasting this economy as he said, it's never been tougher. it has never been tougher for people who are doing have been doing this for decades to try to understand what's coming down the road, so it makes sense, right. it's like nothing. nothing is what it's nothing is aligning it should you know why? i mean the pandemic so many things to the economy in terms of the supply chains in terms of the stimulus checks in terms of just the fact that we weren't spending because we were all at home, and so that really did a lot of different
8:48 pm
things. and so we're all sort of living through, as one economist told me from the national bureau of economic research. we're all living through one great experiment. great, very confident. um alright. well even if forecasting is hard, i am going to ask you all to forecast what the news for tomorrow is going to be going to do. the weather forecast the weather and they're going to share their big scoops for tomorrow. we have tomorrow's news tonight. that's next. weeds have you surrounded ? take your lord back with scotts turf builder to ripple action gets three jobs done e at once kill swedes prevents cab gas keeps it growing strong bag of scots triple action today. it's guaranteed feed alone feed it. hey, guys, this is joe, founderf your e and i want t tell you about one of my favorite pants in the lineup. the sunday performance jogger. the fabr on this jogger is absolutely incredible. it's got a more tailored modern fit, making them super versatile and it has a zip pocket. secure your belongings. whether you're
