‘There Hasn’t Been Any Inflation’: Scott Bessent Drops Mic on CBS’s Margaret Brennan
Breitbart ^ | June 2nd 2025 | BREITBART TV

Posted on 06/02/2025 6:14:59 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent rebuffing host Margaret Brennan on inflation Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

Bessent said, “When we were here in March, you said there was going to be big inflation. There hasn’t been any inflation. Actually, the inflation numbers are the best in four years. So why don’t we stop trying to say this could happen, wait and see what does happen.”

Marlow said, “This is the exact same thing with the egg prices. We were told the egg prices are not coming down and now they’re down. 61% in the media could have told you the egg prices were going to come down. Because remember, they didn’t just drop because Trump is a bad guy or because they were uncontrollable. The egg prices went up because of a bird flu, avian flu, and it was just a matter of time before the birds regenerated and we were able to recreate the same amount of eggs we had in the past, going to drop the prices . The Democrats could have stopped stepping on rakes, but they keep stepping on rakes. They will not stop doing it.”

Cue the “women yelling at a cat” meme.
Women: “There’s going to be hyper mega inflation because racist sexist Trump”
Cat: “Let’s go Brandon...”

RBF!

Very funny moniker for these mouthpieces.

Can’t believe they’re paid so much to simply read a teleprompter

On a different topic note the creep in our language.

Inflation use to mean anything over 0.
Then it was anything over 2%.

Now it means not as bad as under Biden.

It's a riff from the old SNL point counterpoint Weekend Update when Dan Ackroyd would respond to Jane Curtin that way.

When I was in college I never thought Journalism majors were all that smart, and now DAILY they confirm that I was correct.
