Putting the tea in tariff.

First, a look at inflation.

The consumer price index is out this morning, and it shows price increases are accelerating.

Prices overall in the economy rose 3 tenths of a percent in June.

That is up from 1 tenth in May. Core inflation, that's when you take out food and energy, rose 2.9 percent year-over-year. That's up from 2.6 percent the month before.

Ernie Tedeski is Director of Economics at the Budget Lab at Yale and joins us to talk about it. Good morning, Ernie. Good morning. How are you? Hanging in there.

six-tenths of a percent, that's the biggest monthly increase since November of 2021.

It probably is at this point. So when you dig into especially the commodity part of CPI, so think of appliances,

electronics, furniture, that sort of thing, you're starting to see much more clear price increases
