Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Scott Besson's brilliant economic moves.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the billionaire who recently said he was a soybean farmer,

had quite the amazing economic take recently.

He was on Meet the Press and was asked directly about how inflation had shot up to 3%,

an almost 50% increase in the last few months since Trump's tariffs.

The host said, quote,

We have seen prices increasing on staples like coffee,

bananas, bacon. Inflation has gone up. It's at 3% now, up from 2% in April, when the

tariffs were imposed. The billionaire soybean farmer and Trump Economic Advisor first said, quote,

no, no, no, no, they weren't.

Yes, it has.

It was 2.3 in April.

It was three in September.

Greater than less than. Which one does the alligator eat?

would be the story. But it's not, because what he said next might be one of the most confusing takes from a Treasury

Secretary in modern history. Quote, you know the best way to bring your inflation rate down?

And that is because they don't deregulate.

They keep prices up.
