This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck-Secton show podcast.

There is no let up in the inflation rate.

And I just want to note a couple of things here.

Food prices are skyrocketing, really out of control, up 12% at an annual rate for the past three months, 9.4% overall.

The CPI itself in the past three months, up close to 10%, 9.9% at an annual rate.

And if you take out Vladimir Putin energy and food prices, you're still up about 6.5%.

Which kind of puts the lie to what President Biden was saying yesterday.

I mean, this is going to be, you know, buckle your seatbelts.

That was Larry Kudlow over on Fox News, saying this inflation situation is bad and,

unfortunately, going to be getting worse, as we've been discussing with you here, in large

part because the Biden administration, the people in charge, instead of reacting to this, reacting

to the stimuli, the data that comes in that demands course

correction, they're in double down mode essentially. This Biden administration still pretending

like if only we had spent more money, things would be somehow better. If only we had lit more matches and thrown them on to the kindling,

there would have been less of a fire. This is crazy talk, but this is where they are, and people are feeling it.

They're feeling the pain here. They're feeling the reality of what this is doing to their, um, doing to their pocketbooks,

doing to their monthly budgets. Our friend, Jim Jordan, friend of the show, Jim Jordan, uh,

said just yesterday or maybe, yeah, just last night that, look, people are recognizing that the

problem here is the people in charge.

And that means that we probably want to go back to what was working before.
