it's no secret that the legacy media loves to twist their version of reality into the
00:00:08.320
mainstream narrative for all americans and unfortunately they're really really good at it
00:00:12.500
so good in fact that they dominate most news sources in print digital and yes even podcasts
00:00:17.600
but their grip on the spread of information is unsustainable trust in the media is at an all

00:01:10.660
morning wire right now democrats in the house are attempting to remove a decades-old law that blocks
00:01:16.420
federal money from funding abortions a subcommittee in the house approved spending legislation last week
00:01:22.140
that did not include two key amendments related to abortion here to tell us more is daily wire's
00:01:27.760
charlotte pence bond morning charlotte hi john so tell us about these two amendments why are they so
00:01:34.260
significant well the hyde amendment first passed in 1976 essentially bans the use of federal funding
00:01:41.040
for abortion services with some exceptions including abortions that are done when a mother's life is in
00:01:46.600
danger or in the case of rape or incest the lesser known weldon amendment effectively does the reverse
00:01:52.980
it prohibits federal funding from going to programs that discriminate against entities that don't
00:01:58.560
provide abortion services so in other words it protects pro-life organizations so the hyde amendment
00:02:04.680
blocks federal funds from going to abortion and the weldon amendment protects pro-life groups from
00:02:09.820
discrimination right and neither of those are included in the spending bill not in its current form although
00:02:16.380
it does include language regarding abortion and some republicans like representative ashley
00:02:21.540
hinson are pushing back hard i rise today in support of the women who need encouragement
00:02:26.220
to choose life not coercion to end it i rise today in support of the american taxpayer who does not want
00:02:34.700
to pay for elective abortions with their hard-earned money and does this move have support from the white
00:02:40.940
house it appears so president biden's proposed 2022 budget would also get rid of the hyde amendment
00:02:47.580
president biden was actually in favor of the amendment throughout most of his time in politics
00:02:52.300
but during his 2019 campaign he shifted his position after being criticized for supporting hyde
00:02:58.380
he changed his view pointing to republican state legislatures passing pro-life laws as a reason
00:03:03.900
he said that he believed health care is a right and could quote no longer support an amendment that makes that
00:03:10.180
right dependent on someone's zip code what about voters do americans support federally funding abortions
00:03:16.880
polls say no a recent poll by maris found that a majority of americans 58 percent oppose taxpayer funding of
00:03:25.500
abortion this seems to be consistent with previous years harvard found in 2016 that only 36 percent of
00:03:33.400
likely voters were in favor of medicaid-funded abortions what's the democrats argument for getting rid of hyde
00:03:39.660
well they say it hurts low-income women rosa delauro a member of the committee that pushed the bill
00:03:45.940
said she knows a lot of lawmakers on the other side of the aisle are concerned about it but she said
00:03:51.520
quote repealing the hyde amendment is the best thing we can do to support our mothers and families
00:03:56.560
and help prevent rather than penalize unwanted pregnancies and later riskier and more costly abortions
00:04:03.400
on the other side senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said last week that senate republicans
00:04:08.540
would continue to stand up for the conscience rights of millions of americans who don't want
00:04:12.980
their money going to abortion providers so a hard stance on both sides what's next well the house still
00:04:19.740
has to vote on it and the senate will likely try to shut it down right but even if that happens
00:04:25.900
americans might see more democrat-led efforts to federally protect abortion especially since the supreme
00:04:32.100
court recently agreed to review a mississippi case that could potentially overturn roe versus wade
00:04:38.160
well we'll have to keep an eye on the capital thanks charlotte sure thing daily wire charlotte pence bond
00:04:45.540
as the economy continues to open up following covid lockdowns new data shows record-breaking
00:04:55.380
inflation rates and price increases on a variety of consumer goods here to tell us what's causing the
00:05:00.980
surge and how it could impact average american families is daily wire managing editor cabot phillips
00:05:05.980
cabot thanks for joining us happy to be here so let's review some econ 101 what is inflation
00:05:12.200
inflation is basically the decrease in purchasing power over time another way to think about it is
00:05:18.380
just too many dollars chasing too few goods so for example the labor department tracks the cost of
00:05:24.140
basic goods each month and found that in the past year prices are up more than five percent across the
00:05:29.180
board that's the largest annual increase since the great recession what's causing the spike in
00:05:34.320
inflation is this just fallout from covid yes and no a certain level of inflation is to be expected
00:05:40.540
during an economic recovery but covid relief spending has certainly played a role the government
00:05:45.780
essentially dumped six trillion dollars into the economy and that influx of cash means the dollar
00:05:50.420
just doesn't go as far but experts also point to other root causes like the fed's decision to
00:05:55.860
slash interest rates and supply chain shortages caused by covid shutdowns so a lot of factors at
00:06:01.180
work here yeah will this be noticeable to average americans like what kind of effects will people see
00:06:06.640
the most noticeable impact is just prices going up for a variety of goods for example the price of a used
00:06:12.780
car jumped 45 percent over the last year alone and much of that is due to inflation 45 percent yep that's
00:06:19.940
the largest annual increase on record food prices are also up the price of eating out rose at a faster
00:06:25.440
pace this month than any other since 1981 and if you try and eat at home to save money you're still
00:06:31.100
going to be dealing with rising costs meat prices are up over five percent in the last month and across
00:06:36.300
the board more broadly groceries are two and a half percent more expensive than last year what about
00:06:40.820
businesses how are they handling the price jumps some are simply raising prices but others are getting
00:06:46.260
creative oreos for example are now being sold in new containers that hold fewer cookies but cost the
00:06:52.440
same tillamook ice cream went that route as well they've quietly reduced their cartons from 56 to 48
00:06:57.920
ounces but again they're charging the same john is over here stockpiling oreos right now
00:07:02.800
that's not a bad idea john if you look closely you'll notice everything from smaller paper towel rolls to
00:07:10.280
fewer doritos in a bag it's all part of shrinkflation as experts call it so what should we expect will
00:07:17.540
this just keep getting worse it's hard to know economists are divided on this something gets
00:07:22.800
temporary and say inflation rates should taper off as the economy continues to recover here's president
00:07:28.320
biden earlier this week some folks have raised worries that this could be a sign of persistent
00:07:33.240
inflation but that's not our view our experts believe and the data shows that most of the price
00:07:40.320
increases we've seen are were expected and are expected to be temporary now others especially
00:07:46.420
those on the right are less optimistic they think increased government spending will continue
00:07:51.160
along with the fed's aggressive monetary policy which means prolonged inflation okay so we're not sure
00:07:58.080
how long this will last no fed chair jerome powell said he expects inflation to taper off shortly
00:08:03.840
but he's also been saying that for six months now so it's hard to know what to expect yeah well
