We’ve seen essentially zero tariff inflation after 4 months. Jerome Powell keeps warning it's right around the corner. While Secretary Bessent claims tariffs “cannot” cause inflation. So who's right.

Trump is right about Powell. Inflation just hit a 4-year low—and it’s heading even lower. So why is Jerome Powell (Too Late!) keeping interest rates near 20-year highs? He claims he can’t cut now, but he had no issue cutting rates by 50 points right before the election when inflation was higher than it is today. Powell is not fighting inflation. He’s fighting Trump.

🚨 BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent does NOT expect the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell to cut interest rates today. Absolutely ridiculous. "I am not expecting a rate cut today." "I [hope] they will see they were wrong on tariff inflation."

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell: “In the meantime, we have to keep rates high to get inflation all the way down… So what it will take is confidence that inflation is coming down. Now, I would say, without tariffs, that confidence would be building… I think we have to learn a little more about tariffs. I don’t know the right way for us to react will be.”

Jerome Powell: "We're now collecting a good bit of revenue, 3 or 400 billion dollars a year pace [from tariffs]." "Who's paying that? So far, it looks like it's the middle group, retailers and importers, they're not passing along to consumers that much of the cost." "The actual impacts on inflation have been quite modest so far. It's a small amount."

The Fed kept rates near zero and printed trillions during the early days of the Biden administration, juicing asset prices and fueling the highest inflation of my adult lifetime. President Trump has every right to criticize Jerome Powell — especially when the Fed's refusal to lower interest rates, now that Biden's 9% inflation has eased, is hurting American taxpayers and consumers.

"Jerome Powell is a cherry-picking panican. He selectively focuses on parts of President Trump's agenda he can exploit, hype up, and say, 'Here’s all the bad that’s coming.' We’ve had five straight months of inflation data—all better and lower than expected. It’s time for Powell to do the right thing and cut rates. Mortgage rates are too high. Credit card rates are too high. We don’t need interest rates near 20-year highs with inflation at a 4-year low." Great conversation with my friend Charles V Payne

During a scene of the Swan/Habermann book Trump asks Chairman Powell about lowering interest rates. Powell insists he can’t b/c the tariffs will spur mass inflation - which never happened. In the end Trump was right, so I asked why conservatives should trust these institutions?

🚨 JUST IN: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent INFURIATES MSNBC panel after expertly explaining how tariffs have actually helped Americans "Tariffs help consumers because [we] have brought down the budget deficit. MIT came out with a study that said that 42% of the great inflation was caused by the big deficit spending." "So as you bring down deficit spending, inflation will come down. Right now, we've taken substantial tariff income over time that will rebalance as the factories move to the U.S. and that will become the corporate income or wage income - and by bringing down the budget deficit, we are bringing down inflation!" Scott is setting the record straight!

“Tariffs make inflation go down — 150 years of data proves it.” In this conversation, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent joins John Carney & myself to break down why critics got tariffs completely wrong. Instead of inflation and trade wars, the U.S. saw low inflation, new trade deals, and a surge in reshoring as companies returned home. Bessent explains how a gutted manufacturing base changed the equation: tariffs now rebuild strategic industries, boost GDP, and generate revenue while bringing jobs back. As growth rises, tariffs can melt away — replaced by stronger wages and higher tax income from revitalized American industry. And why hasn’t the world retaliated? Simple: every global company needs access to the U.S. market. Trump understood that leverage instinctively — and he was right.

JUST IN: Fed Chair Jerome Powell says the American people are not feeling inflation but 'the effect of high prices.' "What I think people are feeling right now is the effect of high prices, not high inflation. So, we understand very well that prices went up by a great deal and people really feel that. It's prices of food, transportation, heating your home, and things like that. There's tremendous pain in that burst of inflation that was very global."

DAVID SACKS: “[Jerome Powell] went along with this whole ‘transitory’ narrative to get re-nominated by Biden … and it's the only reason he's in the job right now. It caused an asset bubble in 2021, and it caused the 9% inflation that we had the following year.”
