Summary

U.S. inflation has hit 7%, so let’s talk about it. Next, we cover the drama between Dr. Anthony Fauci and Sen. Rand Paul during a congressional hearing Tuesday. Of course, we can’t forget about the election scandal story involving pro-Trump groups (but are we really surprised?). Then, we discuss Kanye West’s planned visit to Russia and what he’s got planned there. We share an update on Prince Andrew, before moving to why Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been called to resign. Finally, Maya Angelou has officially become the first black woman to appear on the U.S. quarter.
