"When you say in some places in America you go and gas is $1.50 a gallon or whatever, he said, people drive out of their front door in their trucks and they turn and they say $3, $3.20, like, it's like you don't need, like Politifact to fact check most of this stuff. He's saying he's still on this whole greatest economy ever kick. He continued: No, gas is around $3 a gallon everywhere you go. Inflation's not down. He can say inflation's down. Inflation is exactly where it was when he took office."
"If you cut the cost of something by 100%, it's now free! Scarborough laughed. If you cut it by 200%, you're giving me double my money and what I would normally pay! Instead of buying insulin for my son, they're going to pay me! And then when you say, Some cases I'm cutting at 500, 600 times' well, that's a multiplier effect!"
A televised White House address blamed a political opponent for high prices and claimed the administration reversed economic fortunes while touting accomplishments. Morning Joe hosts responded by calling the economic claims exaggerated and disconnected from everyday experiences. Hosts highlighted gas prices near $3 per gallon and argued that inflation remains similar to levels at the administration's start. Hosts ridiculed assertions of 400–600% drug-price reductions as mathematically absurd. Hosts also noted awkward delivery and teleprompter issues and suggested voters would rely on what they see in prices and feel in their wallets rather than the claims made.
