connell? connell: hey there, neil.at the mid-terms coming up later this year and you know how pennsylvania is, big state, diverse economy, but inflation is that one concern that we hear over and over again, even in the president's hometown that people are talking about, and could be the political story of 202 when you think about it. the best way to get a gauge of this type of concern, you stop by the local hot dog joint, right? we did that, a place called coney island lunch its been around almost 100 years, a family business, started by peter ventura's grandfather. >> when i first started working for my grandfather, a hot dog was $0.30, so when he raised it to $0.35 he put big signs all over the restaurant, $0.35 for a hot dog and i said grandpa why do you have the signs up because everybody that came in the door was screaming at him. now, the $0.05 increase was like 12, 13% and i could understand but now, it's now no lingerie shock, i mean, i think people are just used to getting beat up and this is the way it's goin

hi, connell.ginia especially from last year, you had these parents who were upset about lockdowns and curriculum issues and they got involved politically they had quite an impact to your point and with that in mind i want to introduce you to amanda ray, here in the scottsdale area she's leading another group of parents upset about similar issues and possessing similar goals. >> i think that there's a huge ground swell for , i think, so many of us were asleep, until covid and now are paying attention and we're realizing that there needs to be more oversite and so we'll support those political leaders that will help us out. connell: amanda tells me her support will be going to republicans much like what we saw in virginia whether it's in the governor's race here or the all-important senate race. senator mark kelly, the democrat won a special election in 2020 so his seats up again this year, and it's one of the key races we're watching to see which party ends up controlling the senate. the state atto

connell mcshane, great to see you. thanks so much for that.t more unfortunately in gas as prices continue to rise. oil prices now near seven year highs as fears of potential attacks overseas, russian attack on ukraine are not letting up. bring in american petroleum institute president and ceo mike summers. mike, good to see you. >> great to be with you, jackie. jackie: talk about oil prices. talk about gas prices. because consumers, businesses everybody is worried about it. analysts are saying we're going over $100 a barrel. you have got tensions overseas. it certainly seems like that is very possible, if not even higher? >> of course we're concerned about that. but the bottom line here, jackie, is that actions have consequences. at the beginning of this administration, the administration put into place a number of policies that really have sought to undermine american energy leadership, including cutting off the keystone xl pipeline, restricting access to oil in offshore areas and onshore acreage, that was prime for development for american o

kim jung un connell: 0 method geopolitical problems like ukraine spiking the market next week. let's stick with earnings and talk about banks. it was a mixed bag. >> even looking at stock reaction i can't remember when i saw such wide discrepancy in performance was what we are seeing now is we knew this was not going to be at those elevated levels we saw for much of the pandemic. jpmorgan saw a huge drop in trading for the fourth quarter in 2021. wells fargo a big winner in his earnings cycle. shares were up 3% in friday's training, one of the few banks to perform well in the trading and that is because investors are trying to see a sense of the turnaround coming. a process improved because of regulatory issues. but huge indication the bank is poised to do well going forward. jack: goldman and morgan stanley, what are you looking for? carlton:goldman and morgan stanley are looking at trading revenue and the backlog but most excited to see bank of america. of the big banks they are in best position for rising rate environment and jamie dimon could see 7 rate hikes. don't know if

is education the big issue there, connell?mber the governor's race there last year. amanda's mother in the scottsdale area, she got a lot of attention out here recently. so much so that one of the local school board presidents, she was telling me, has even been keeping close track of everything she's writing about education on social media. and it looks like she and other parents are poised to make quite a political impact in 2022. >> our school districts have teachers union yous, our school boards have associations that represent them, but parents don't have any type of collective group. we want to see our parental rights restored in education. >> reporter: so amanda's planning on report -- supporting republican candidates. it brings us to the question of the type of republican who can win in 2022. we interviewed two of the leading republicans that are running this year and, you know, they're different, but they're both polling well. carrie lake is a former news anchor here in the area. she is all in on president trump. he's

up until a week ago, there were still 3 young roosters in the connell families yard. they got along well until a fight broke out between them over the hands, peace and harmony, never returned. and so the roosters ended up in the frying pan. the families passion for chickens began with a birthday surprise. they got to borrow chick, and there was no turning back. they just had to have another 5. that was the plan. anyway. i go ha, ne canada of no one i know stuck to 4 or 5 chickens. once you've caught the chicken bug, there's no going back, right? you'd see a this minus the 3 roosters. they now have 10 adult chickens. and another 14 chicks hatched 2 weeks ago. when gets vondik i all, if we had 20 eggs and end up with 10 roosters, we'll have to slaughter them at some point. no 9. we might keep one. we not sure. it depends how the boys behave because especially with roosters like them. it's hard, of course, we basically raised them is if they sit on your knee, they fall asleep in your hand and you have to decide at some point and my wilma, your life's going to end tonight

connell, good stuff.ner ports in california, the stuff is -- the amount of stuff is plummeting. ashley, good morning to you. what's the story here? ashley: good morning. well, it's sill about the backlog. -- still about the backlog, the jammed supply lines. combined import volume fell about 14% at the ports of los angeles and long beach last month if compared to a year ago. that is a fourth straight month of year-over-year declines. but despite that, a record number of ships have been parked outside the ports hitting a record 109 cargo vessels earlier this month. and the same issues persist; ships can't unload quickly because terminals are full of containers, truckers can't pick up loads because of a shortage of drivers as per connell's report, and trailers are also in short supply. on top of that, warehouses are short of workers and space, so they can't take deliveries anyway. shipping costs remain sky high, and that means continued high prices for all of us. what is mr. buttigieg doing about all of this

it's important to note that before joe biden spoke, vice president connell, a harris spoke, and some have speculated that this speech and the commemorations were almost a common harris moment rather than a joe biden moment. now what's also interesting is that donald trump was expected to give a press conference in florida. however, he canceled that press conference, citing what he referred to as a bias and dishonesty from the media and from the house of representatives. probe into the event. this is donald trump's cancellation. why is the primary reason for the coming to washington d. c, which is the fraud of the 2020 presidential election, not the primary topic of the intellect committees investigation. this was indeed the crime of the century. now donald trump's claims of election fraud did not pan out. however, jo biden's promise of reuniting the nation and bringing it closer together. that hasn't seemed to pan out either. if you look at the poles as we face this capital riot anniversary, one thing is very clear, the country is very squarely divide it. it's important to note that

ah, i have a quick check at the top stories here, a former syrian connell has been jail for life in germany for torture and murder during syria's civil war. and why russ loan is the 1st syrian state official to be convicted for such crimes. he moved to germany as an asylum seeker in 2014 india's daily corona, virus infections have risen to more than 264000 in the last 24 hours driven by the on the con variant. it comes as hundreds of thousands of hindu pilgrims gather for a religious festival in west bengal. iraq fears the gathering could become a super sputter event.

what the connell serve tiff justices are planning on doing with their majority will affect all of usions. this week the supreme court announced it will take up the constitutionality of affirmative action. the cases involve students, mostly asian-americans who say they were discriminated against by harvard university and the university of north carolina, in favor of black and hispanic applicants. lawyers for the schools deny their policies are discriminatory. studies show that white women are the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action, a fact you rarely hear about on the practice. not only because it would make it harder to get into top schools, but those minority students who are admitted will find smaller communities of peers with similar backgrounds to support them and help them succeed. a gallup poll just last year showed 62% of americans support affirmative action programs for minority groups. the highest in 20 years, over 20 years, so you might wonder why, with all of these problems facing our country, the high court has chosen to focus in on this issue now. the answer is,

in 2016 to confirm a supreme court justice days before the election it's hypocritical for mitch mc connellcrats want to do when he was in power and his party was in power. they absolutely did the same thing so pushing back on but your panelist just dated because this is politics. this is what parties do. this is what everyone does empower. they have the opportunity to do it. so i want to highlight that not a single republican member of the house or the senate has voted for any of the presidents agenda and that is just politics at work. >> shannon: they did -- a bipartisan agreement there, but it's treat the filibuster -- and when they are in the minority, they are very big on preserving it for all time to come. so we will see if it survives for now. crystal, you are right. thank you all. great to see you. >> thanks, shannon. >> shannon: hospital system forcing symptomatic covid staff members to come in and work. amid a vaccine mandate and stepping cringe and in the midst of -- washington state refusing power help from one county. you are not going to believe why . the lightning round is ne

get this afternoon mitch mc connell said the midterm elections are going to be a report card. how do you think that report card looks right now. >> i think the fundamental question is what is mitch for, what are they for? what would be the republican platform right now? what do you think? i honest to god don't know what therefore? >> honest to god, is this the game he wants to play? what is square scary that some staffer who's getting paid tax dollars to work every week thought wow, this line will sho america that joe is really on top of his game. republicans most support here are trump pre- pandemic policies . why is trump still talking abou them? they delivered record unemployment, rising wages, a tight order, better trade deals stronger optimism and joe knows all of this. his rhetorical question about the gop was just another exercise in deflection and distraction. but none of this is landing wit the voters. two new polls out just today tell the bleak story for joe biden, his approval rating has dropped ten points since april in the new nbc survey, and the ap tracks closely
