We also talked about Democrats suffering a double digit drop in approval ratings as a symptom of poor handling of COVID, inflation, and crime.In the third hour Mark Frost joined the conversation to talk about the true nature of inflation’s grip on the economy when it comes to the stock market and interest rates. We also talked about the gross incompetence from Biden’s admininstration as they allow economic issues to fester and drive further crime.
