0:00.0	Well, my friends, inflation is down significantly and Joe Biden's approval rating continues to climb
0:23.6	in a horrible turn of events for the right, which wants to continue to tell the lie that democratic
0:30.3	presidents are terrible for the economy. Now, you all know that I don't actually play these games
0:36.3	when it comes to the economy. You all know that when we talk like this, it's sort of tongue-in-cheek
0:41.1	because the reality is that on many of these issues, presidents have very little influence one
0:45.8	way or the other. I don't play the gas prices game. I will jokingly say, how did Joe Biden get gas
0:51.3	prices to be down $1.70 per gallon as they are. But of course, I don't really give him credit for
0:56.7	that. The same way that I don't blame him for the fact that gas prices went up. But for the right
1:01.7	wingers that see the world in this way, we should be aware of what is going on. And as I'm an
1:09.1	idiot when it comes to this stuff, but I predicted we would get down into the sixes in the first part
1:14.9	of 2023. And inflation would probably be down into the four fives by the middle or third quarter
1:21.7	of 2023. And we continue to go in that direction. We learned this morning CNBC report consumer
1:28.8	prices fell 0.1% in December in line with expectations, excluding food and energy core CPI rose 0.3%
1:38.6	on an annual basis headline CPI meaning top line inflation is now up 6.5% while core inflation
1:47.5	is up 5.7%. The biggest reason for the easing in inflation came from a sharp drop in gasoline
1:55.0	prices, which are now lower on a year over your basis. I want to tell everybody again because
2:00.9	people are so confused and they write to me things that make no sense when we talk about 6.5%
2:08.8	what we're talking about is over the last year. So we just got the December numbers. So when
2:14.9	we now say year over year, we're talking about price increase from December 2021 to December 2022
2:23.5	every month you shift by one month. What is the 12 month period we're talking about? So in December
2:31.8	when we got the November number, we were talking about inflation from November 21 to November 22.
2:40.8	It's now January. We've now added the December 22 inflation data and removed the November 21. So
