0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about Trump, |
0:08.3 | milk, eggs, money, and facts. As Americans lose confidence in Trump's ability to handle the economy, |
0:15.9 | as poll after poll is showing, Trump is starting to make some claims that are definitely not accurate. |
0:22.7 | They're so far from the truth, we have questions from people asking if their region is lagging |
0:28.3 | behind in major price reductions. So, we're going to go through some of Trump's claims and throw |
0:35.1 | in some news about milk that just seems to fit. |
0:39.4 | Trump said, quote, as you know, the cost of eggs has come down like 93, 94% since we took |
0:46.8 | office. No, just no, that hasn't happened. Average consumer cost of a dozen large grade A eggs in January when Trump |
0:56.9 | took office was $4.95. In March, which are the last numbers available, it was $6.23. That shows it |

1:29.7 | There's nothing. |
1:31.2 | The best news I could find was that wholesale egg prices have actually dropped almost to what we might consider normal levels. |
1:39.8 | Let's see how long it takes for that to filter back to us. |
1:43.7 | When it does, I promise, eggs won't be 50 cents a dozen. |
1:48.9 | Okay, let's move on to gas prices. |
1:52.2 | Trump said, quote, |
1:53.6 | gas prices hit $1.98 yesterday in a couple of states. |
1:58.6 | No, no, it didn't. |
2:00.7 | He actually repeated this claim more than once. |
2:03.9 | Nope. The national average was $3.17 per gallon at the time. The lowest state average was $2.70. |
