But a year and a half into his administration, inflation is outpacing wage growth for the first time since 2023. NEC Director Kevin Hassett is taking a glass-half-full approach, choosing to focus on the items that are falling in price \u201con a microeconomic level.\u201d Jessica Valenti, author and publisher of the Abortion, Every Day newsletter joins the program for a conversation about the state of reproductive rights in America...and it's not great. Lisa Xu, an organizer with Labor Notes, joins to follow up on her appearance last month when we interviewed her about the 3,800 meatpacking workers in UFCW Local 7 in Greeley, Colorado that launched the industry\u2019s first major strike in 40 years. Workers won a wage increase and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses spent on personal protective equipment. In the Fun Half: NEC director, Kevin Hassett does some bad math in an attempt to spin the recent dismal job report into good news. Dr. Oz continues the Trump administration's assault on Medicare and Medicaid, arguing against the personal home care industry on Fox News. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is very nonchalant about his state throwing out more than 45,000 ballots that have already been cast. Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA) laughs and agrees with radio host as he tells Hakeen Jeffries to keep his "cotton-picking hands off of Virginia". At a commencement speech to Arts & Humanities majors at the University of Central Florida the speaker mentions AI and the crowd erupts in boos and jeers, to the shock of the speaker.
