00:00
Back on June, Mr. President, you did say that you were confident these deals would be done.
00:04
But you also said that you're in no rush.
00:05
Americans are seeing prices rise.
00:07
They're seeing it on their bills.
00:09
How long can they expect that pain to last?
00:12
So they've already seen it get much better because if you were truthful, which you're not,
00:18
I know you very well, you have gasoline.
00:23
That hit $1.98 yesterday in a couple of states.
00:26
You have gasoline's way down.
00:28
The price of oil has dropped substantially.
00:32
The price of groceries is substantially down.
00:36
The price of eggs.
00:38
You know, when I came in, they hit me with eggs.
00:41
I just got there.
00:42
I was here for one week and they started screaming at me,
00:44
eggs have gone through the roof.
00:46
I said, I just got here.
00:47
I was there for seven days and I hear that eggs have gone through the roof before I got there.
00:52
And they were screaming at me, the press, the fake news like you, you're fake.
00:57
And the fake news is screaming at me like about eggs.
01:01
I said, I've only been here.
01:02
I just, this is my seventh day.
01:04
And they were right.
01:05
They went up 87 percent and you couldn't get them.
01:08
They said, you won't have eggs for Easter, which is coming up.
01:11
Happy Easter, everybody.
01:12
You won't have eggs for Easter.
01:14
And we did an unbelievable job.
01:16
And now eggs are all over the place.
01:18
And the price went down 92 percent.
01:21
And our commissioner of agriculture, Brooke, has done a fantastic job.
01:28
Did really have done a fantastic job.
01:29
So prices haven't gone up.
01:30
The only thing that's gone up actually is interest rates.
01:34
Because we have a federal reserve chairman that is playing politics.
01:39
Somebody that I've never been very fond of, actually.
01:41
But he's playing politics.
01:45
Interest rates should be down now.
01:46
They should be coming down.
01:48
In Europe, as you know, they reduced them, I guess, seven times.
01:52
It looks like they're going to reduce them again and again and again.
01:55
But our guy wants to play cute.
01:58
But interest rates are pretty much even.
02:02
Maybe they went up just a slight bit, but that's the only thing.
02:05
But that's because of the federal reserve.
02:07
Because they're not very smart people.
02:09
Do you agree with that question?
02:11
Do you agree with that question?
02:12
Go ahead.
02:13
Go ahead.
