According to a new Harris-Guardian poll, more than half of Americans think that we are currently experiencing a recession, but on Thursday, MSNBC’s host of The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle could not seem to believe why people would believe that. She did acknowledge that inflation is high by conceding, “I will give it to you, inflation is a problem, right? Rent is high, mortgages are high, insurance is high, buying a car is high, groceries cost a lot of money, but a recession?”     Peter Spiegel, U.S. Managing Editor of the Financial Times, discussed how detrimental this inflation is for the Biden’s  campaign, “They know that they can't win on this. It’s not like inflation is going to turn around in six months, and people will forget that prices were cheaper two years ago.” Followed by a suggestion to the Biden administration to “neutralize” it so they can focus on other important issues. Even when we were in a recession, Ruhle defended Biden by spinning the economy was doing great. Nevertheless, according to Ruhle, the president doesn’t have anything to do with inflation, “But the president also doesn’t control prices, he doesn’t control inflation…” The yearly inflation rate under Trump was recorded as 1.9 percent, whereas the yearly inflation rate under the Biden  is currently at 5.7 percent and Ruhle wants to act as if all of Biden’s stimulus spending had nothing to do with it. Barry Ritholtz, founder of Ritholtz Wealth Management, spoke up, calling the poll “nonsensible” since most people do not respond to unknown phone numbers. He also criticized how surveys have been proven to be wrong in the past, however those were more candidate preferences than economic perceptions. Breaking down inflation, Ruhle  looked at the price of groceries and the prices at different outlets. “Aldi, Walmart, Target, some fast food places like McDonald's, are cutting prices to offer deals to draw in more customers. Does that not tell you that maybe they did not raise the prices? Maybe they did not need to raise prices as much as they did over the last two years?” In September, food prices jumped, adding to the inflation, as did medical care costs and rent.

Related topic, we have a strong but complicated economy. There is a new Harris-Guardian poll that everyone is talking about. It found that more than half of the Americans polled think that we are in a recession. I will give it to you, inflation is a problem, right? Rent is high, mortgages are high, insurance is high, buying a car is high, groceries cost a lot of money, but a recession? What do you think of that? PETER SPIEGEL (FINANCIAL TIMES U.S. MANAGING EDITOR): Yeah. Well, I mean talked about this last time I was on the show. Joe Biden is not getting any credit for what is actually an incredibly strong economy. Tight labor market, GDP growth, but you have put your finger on the problem. Inflation is huge. We’re drowning everything else out. You go to the store, we go to the store, eggs, meat, you try to fill up your car with gas, this is the thing that everyday Americans are looking at and it’s particularly Biden voters. It tends to be more middle-class or working-class voters who are showing up and have to pay the money for their gas, they have to pay the money for their groceries and we have seen it poll after poll. We had our own poll that came out last week said the same thing and the issue for the Biden Administration is, and I’ve talked to the White House, I was there last week. They know that they can't win on this. It’s not like inflation is going to turn around in six months, and people will forget that prices were cheaper two years ago. RUHLE: But the president also doesn’t control prices, he doesn’t control inflation, and it is not like former President Trump has offered a single policy solution to address any of these things. SPIEGEL: They need to neutralize it, though. They need to neutralize it so they can talk about the other issues like democracy and the threat to democracy that Trump poses. What they are trying to do is at least neutralize the issue because they know they can't win on the issue. BARRY RITHOLTZ (RITHOLTZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT CO-FOUNDER, CHAIRMAN AND CIO): Can I call BS on a lot of these polls? Can I? RUHLE: Yes, you can. RITHOLTZ: So first, half the country thinks the stock market is falling this year? There were like 12 all-time highs set this year, the market was up substantially last year. SPIEGEL: And today, a two day, high, yes. RITHOLTZ: I just don't -- I find a lot of these polls to be nonsensible. Who the hell is answering their cell phone when an unknown number or text comes in? RUHLE: I don't even answer it for people I know. RITHOLTZ: That is number one. There was a poll the other day, one in five people think Joe Biden is responsible for Roe v. Wade being overturned? It was 17 percent – it’s almost one in five. That’s absolutely ridiculous. Polling, let me remind everybody, they got the Trump election in 2016 wrong, they totally got the margin of victory in 2020 wrong. The red wave in 2022 politically, they got that wrong. I don't know why we think that making a few hundred or a few thousand calls, to people who aren't answering their phones, is going to give you a representative sample of America. RUHLE: Okay on the topic of prices, though, and inflation, you just walk through when you look at meat, when you look at eggs, some of those prices are changing, we just saw the stories this week. Aldi, Walmart, Target, some fast food places like McDonald's, are cutting prices to offer deals to draw in more customers. Does that not tell you that maybe they did not raise the prices? Maybe they did not need to raise prices as much as they did over the last two years? SPIEGEL: Well the other thing, and you’re hundred percent right about the polls, so take this with a grain of salt. The other thing the polls do show though is- RUGLE: Which is cheaper at Aldi this week. SPIEGEL: They show that the American people blame corporate America as much if not more than politicians for what is going on. So, when you hear frequently, the messaging now you’re hearing from the White House is very much, “hey not our fault, the big corporations are raising your taxes.” And that is very much actually where the American people are right now. So again, if you talk about this -- you try to neutralize this issue, that’s where you’re gonna see the messaging.  It’s going to be on corporate America because they do believe, the polls show this, that that is where their voters believe is the fault.

It happened over two decades ago but the Charmed feud that split the Power of Three still hangs over the cast of the hit WB fantasy drama. Some 20 years after the drama that transformed the Charmed cast, one party, Holly Marie Combs, received an apology that surprised even her. The feud in question surrounds the departure of Shannen Doherty, who played eldest Halliwell sister Prue, with Alyssa Milano, who played Phoebe Halliwell, often cited as a driving force behind her exit. Amidst this, actors were dating actors who played the love interest of their co-stars, and this compounded the messiness of the feud, a problem that Brian Krause finally addressed. Relationships added to just how messy the ‘Charmed’ feud was Some complex relationship added a whole other layer to the enigmatic Charmed feud / © Viacom / courtesy Everett Collection As if family trees couldn’t get confusing enough; the interpersonal relationships between the Charmed crew adds a whole other layer of complexity. Doherty, Milano, and Combs all played sisters who had various romantic partners. Milano’s Phoebe had a famous—and infamous—relationship with half-demon Cole Turner, played by Julian McMahon. RELATED: Shannen Doherty Celebrated By Her ‘Charmed’ Family On 52nd Birthday Meanwhile, Piper, played by Combs, courted Krause’s Leo the Whitelighter. When the cameras weren’t rolling, however, McMahon dated Doherty, and Krause was for a time in a relationship with Milano. The Who’s the Boss actress reportedly “documented every time she felt uncomfortable on set” and had built a case against Doherty and Combs. Combs claims she could recall no “harsh words” exchanged on set, yet producers were allegedly presented with an ultimatum: it was Milano or Doherty. Brian Krause issues an apology to Holly Marie Combs for what she endured throughout the ‘Charmed’ feud Brian Krause offered an apology to Holly Marie Combs over 20 years after the messy fallout / © Viacom / courtesy Everett Collection The fallout of this feud, however things happened behind the scenes, saw Doherty leave after season three, to be replaced by Rose McGowan as Paige Matthews. Production continued and Charmed lasted for eight seasons. Film producer Trae Briers, who worked on Charmed for multiple seasons, claims to have seen no tension at all while on set. On Instagram, he insisted,“I will be the first to say @milano_alyssa was the most respectful and truly cool person on that set!!! Was the only one that actually spoke to everyone like a human being and I NEVER saw any of that s—t that’s been said about her on that set!!!” Krause, boyfriend to Milano while his character courted Combs’s Piper, addressed it in his own way. CHARMED, Alyssa Milano, Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Season 3, 1998-2006, photo: © Viacom / courtesy Everett Collection “Brian and she were dating at the time when this all went down,” recalled Combs, speaking on Doherty’s Let’s Be Clear podcast last winter, “which, to me, us being completely oblivious, to me was the worst part, where it was all sort of part of this plan that was happening and unfolding over months.” “He just recently — it was about a year ago — in France, we were on stage at a panel that was filled with many, many people, and he just kind of paused,” she went on. “He looked at me like he forgot something, and I kind of looked at him like, ‘What? What’s the problem? Why are you looking at me like that?’ And he just looked at me while someone was asking a question and just went, ‘I’m so sorry.’ And I was like, ‘Sorry for what?’ I was like, ‘Are you going somewhere? What’s happening?’” she said. “He just shook his head, and he goes, ‘I’m so sorry.’ Because we had talked a little about it onstage without talking about it. Because still no one was allowed to talk about it.” When they got off stage, Krause set time aside to reiterate to Combs, “I’m so sorry. That must have been a terrible time for you.” Hearing this story, Doherty mused, “I mean, it took him like 24 years, but better late than never,” to which Combs agreed, “Better late than never.” Click for next Article The post 24 Years After ‘Charmed’ Feud, Holly Marie Combs Receives Apology From Co-Star appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
