let's bring in democratic congresswoman pramila jayapal of washington state. congresswoman, this law is going to accomplish a lot. among other items, billions of dollars to combat climate change, the power for the medicare agency to negotiate some drug prices, caps for medicare out of pocket drug costs for seniors, it extends affordable care act subsidies and imposing a 15% minimum tax for large corporations. first of all, congratulations. but i'm confused about something. democrats keep calling this the inflation reduction act. plenty of experts say it's not going to reduce inflation. why is it being called that? >> well, jake, first of all, this is a huge accomplishment. and all of the things you mentioned in and of themselves, each one, is a massive transformation. we have never taken on climate change at this scale, at this level, bringing down carbon emissions by 40% by the year 2030. and investing $60 billion into environmental justice as we do that. we have never had medicare negotiating drug prices despite decades of actually trying to fight for that.

jayapal: thank you, mr. speaker. today, democrats will take unprecedented and urgent action when we pass the inflation reduction act. today we make good on our promise to take on climate change and climate justice. with historic investments in green technologies that will cut carbon emissions by 40% by 2030, create over nine million good jobs, put $60 billion into environmental justice and cut energy costs for the average american family by almost $1,000 a year. and also for the first time we take on big pharma's price gouging, finally allowing medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, capping the cost of inlynn and continuing to make health care more affordable. and all of it is paid for with taxes on the largest corporations and the wealthiest. we've got more to do to complete the rest of the president's agenda on child care, senior care, expanding medicare and investing in housing. and with a few more democrats in the senate we will get that done too but today let's celebrate this massive investment fo

transformative change on health care and on climate those that was democratic congresswoman pramila jayapal>>> u.s. markets ended the week on a high note following signs that inflation may be easing up. the three major indices were solidly in positive territory at the closing of the bell on friday, and that's two days after a government report showed inflation in july was lower than the month before. the dow rose by more than 400 points friday or close to 1.3%. the nasdaq and s&p 500 saw even bigger percentage gains. those two indices have closed higher each of the past four weeks. >>> american consumers are still down in the dumps about the state of the economy despite all the positive news. consumer sentiment, optimism, or lack of it went up largely in august. that's according to a survey by the university of michigan. it climbed above 55 points but still far below one year ago. consum consumers are speculative. now it's below 4 dollars a gallon. it was done before the positive inflation report. >>> at least 14 people were injured on friday when a vehicle crashed into a pub in arlington,

i say talking points that came indirectly sent out by the progressive caucus, authored by the jayapalgressives to get in line and here's why we like it. forget about those last cave-ins from kyrsten sinema to the hedge fund people. is that a big boost? >> it's a huge boost. if the democrats can actually take themselves out of the circular firing squad and focus on getting this piece through the house and then hitting the road and selling that message, yeah, this could create a lot of energy for them going into the fall. the reality is, they're beginning to realize in circles around washington and inside the democratic party that this historic trend line is not something that's absolute. it can be beaten because of these other environmental issues, if you will, that have arisen, not just the environment legislation, but abortion has changed the political environment. the economy with the jobs numbers and certainly with gas prices coming down have changed the fiscal environment. so the political environment as a whole is beginning to reshape itself in such a way that if they're tactical

congresswoman pramila jayapal telling me cutting inflation is not as important as bringing costs downa theoretical word that economists use but what families feel every day is the up or down of costs. we have 0% increase in inflation in july. prices have continued to come down. reporter: but some prices have not come down. kitchen staples, meat, eggs, fruits, milk, vegetables all more expensive compared to last year. americans are filling up their grocery carts do not feel like inflation doesn't exist. >> we're currently at inflation at 13.7% since joe biden has taken the oath of office. you cannot spin your way out of inflation. reporter: the president is celebrating congress passing the inflation reduction act. they will send out cabinet officials to 23 states over the next several weeks flaunting some benefits of this legislation, but liz, some americans that are paying a lot more to just fill up their kitchen cabinets may not necessarily care what a cabinet official has to say about high prices. liz: hillary, thank you so much. appreciate the report there. joining us fox news cont
