Why are Republican leaders losing control on live TV this weekend?
What kind of D-vitamins did I have to buy? There was some memorization there. R like restaurant, H like good, M like... What was it now? D like Devisol. Well, that's just it.
Devisol D-vitamins can be found in pharmacies. Orion Pharma. Building well-being.
Mr. Prime Minister, shall we start now? Let's start, and let's start properly. What do you mean? Let's start everything. Are you sure? Let's start clothes, let's start equipment, let's start equipment. I mean, all outdoor sports and free time. Now I understand. Maybe you understand numbers better. Putkesport is now even below 60%. So... Exactly. Putkesport.fi.
Republican leaders were losing their minds on live TV this weekend as Donald Trump's presidency continues to collapse and that collapse is now rapidly accelerating. For example, Donald Trump's national economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, was confronted with a graphic showing that prices across all sorts of food and products are surging right now and Americans can't afford it. Kevin Hassett says, but eggs are a little cheaper now, aren't they? Here, play this clip. But let's take a look at some of the goods that we buy, you know, regularly in our household. Let's take a look at this. Coffee, as you mentioned, up 15%. Uncooked ground beef up 14%. Bananas up 8%. Fresh cakes and cupcakes up 6%. Lettuce up almost 6%.
Lunch meat, salad, dressings, tomatoes all up, you know, well more than that, 2.5%. I mean... Americans are clearly feeling that prices are continuing to go up. And with many of the goods that they buy regularly, they are going up. And more, I mean, by significant numbers. Let's look at it. First of all, when we came in, the very first thing that all of you folks were talking to us about was egg prices. And egg prices are down year over year. You could have put that in your chart right there. Yeah. And but the fact is, when we had almost 10 percent inflation in the. I mean, that wasn't about economic factors. That was bird flu with the egg prices, just to be clear. Oh, but but but the the meat prices problem is we've shut the border from Mexico because of an infestation in Mexico.
How is Kevin Hassett’s inflation graphic exposing soaring food prices?
So there are a bunch of things like that that are targeted problems. And also, so you have lunch meats and meats, but the meats are coming slower from Mexico because there's a pest infestation there. Next, Kevin Hassett tries to claim that Thanksgiving is going to be 25% cheaper according to a Walmart report, but he tries to leave out that the Walmart report says that their Thanksgiving meal this year only has 14 items versus 21 items under former President Biden, and that it was previously using brand names, and now they use generic names. Watch as Kevin Hassett is fact-checked to his face. Here, play this clip. The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. I mean, does he know that's not true?
Well, if you look at Walmart and the few places that put out their prices of Thanksgiving baskets. I gotta stop because the Walmart comparison's like not, I mean, Walmart had a Thanksgiving package last year. They've got a Thanksgiving package this year. The one this year contains much less than what the one last year took, so that's why the price is less. Look, we got a chart here. Last year, it was 21 total products. This year, it's 15. Total number of items in those products was 29%. Now, 29, now it's 22. There's more generic brand stuff. So, I mean, Thanksgiving, if you're going to the store to buy groceries for Thanksgiving, it's going to be more expensive than that. I really don't understand where you're going in the sense that Joe Biden gave us.
Joe Biden gave us 20% inflation.
He's not president.
Donald Trump's president. No, and you want us to fix the hole that Joe Biden dug right away.
No, I'm just saying, why does the president tell everybody that?
The prices went up so much under Joe Biden, and inflation is way down. Inflation is about half what it was in December. This is something that's being fixed fast, and real incomes are up after dropping about $3,000 under Joe Biden. And so, sure, you could find a few things where the price is higher, but there's a whole bunch of stuff where the price is lower, like gasoline
