Check out the end of the video clip where Bessent demolishes the hapless Mike Barnicle.
Barnicle tries to play the class-envy card, saying he figures Bessent did “very well” in the stock market yesterday because it spiked up on news the shutdown could be ending.
Bessent explains to Barnicle that he doesn’t own any stocks: had to sell them all to become Treasury Secretary.
It got so bad Barnicle had to thank Bessent for “straightening me out!”
