Although I just, I got, so I had to, I had family issues yesterday.

And so I'm, I got a stockpile, a reservoir of stuff.

I haven't even got to all the audio that, uh, had Charlie cut up for me.

But I got to begin, well, with two clips of the audio.

First of all, this is Rachel Bain.

She's on one of the Sunday shows about inflation said this.

Because, you know, Democrats, a lot of them have been frustrated with, you know,

President Biden going out there and saying inflation is, quote, transitory.

Like, it's just temporary. It's going to go away. And it's been months now. It's only gotten worse. You know, there was an interview, you know, just a few days ago where he attacked Lester Holt, calling him a wise guy for just asking questions that American voters, whether they be Democrats, independents, or Republicans are asking is, what are you going to do about inflation and so he does

have to do things for frontliners who are up in 2022 and who are saying we need to tout our

accomplishments like infrastructure what we've done so far with the pandemic but he's really got to be

careful not to sound tone deaf like he has for the past several months when it comes to this

inflation issue yes and now this.

With George Stephanopoulos on this week with George Stephanopoulos,

Donna Brazill talking about the Democrats' problems.

Donna, the president is just over a week away from his State of the Union address.

He faces the very real possibility of going into that speech against the backdrop of a war in Europe,

economic anxiety at home, and a clear, decisive majority disapproving or unhappy with his performance as president.

How does he turn it around?

Well, first of all, Tom mattered.
