Hey everybody welcome to

welcome to Battleground so if you're an American and you've been going to the grocery store and tracking the costs of those

groceries you've likely noticed the skyrocketing cost of eggs and probably wondering what the heck is going on.

So today we've got of course legendary political reporter also has legendary hair her name is

Selina Zito she's all over the place and I'm sure you've seen her columns in the

Washington Examiner and in the New York Post from her dispatches from the middle of somewhere and we created this

segment called Boots on the Ground because well Selina's boots on the

ground just about everywhere.

You've got this great column out

where you did a deep dive on the skyrocketing cost of eggs in the column is called avian flu is crushing

our farmers so what the heck is going on here?

Yeah it's really, you know, all of us are feeling the pinch.

It's really, I mean, there's very few things that we make,

whether we're baking or cooking or just making our kids eggs in the morning or

waffles or pancakes, whatever, eggs are almost in everything.

It's an American staple.

Americans love their eggs and the prices are insane. I mean, they're upwards of $7 a dozen.

I've seen all the way up to $10 a dozen.

When some families go through two dozen a week

and they're used to paying under $2 for a dozen,

that takes it, that just sort of adds to the economic stress that people are feeling.

However, I think it's important that we understand that we are not the only ones really
