Kevin Hassett : "The stagflation that was created by the policies of President Biden was way worse than we thought" "We've got a multi-multi-faceted plan to end inflation, and I'll go quickly, because I want to end with what we're doing with egg prices, but we're going to have a macroeconomic change," Hassett says.

Next week , we'll see the plan on how to get avian flu, under the Biden plan.

The plan was to just kill chickens, and they spent billions of dollars killing chickens within a perimeter where they found a sick chicken.

And so what we need to do is have better ways, with biosecurity and medication, to make sure that the perimeter doesn't have to kill the chickens.

Kevin Hassett : President Trump wants to put reciprocal tariffs on 175 countries with a VAT tax.

Hasset: If we didn't have to pay foreign government's tax, over 10 years , it'd be about $5 trillion of tax that U.S. citizens don't pay.

That would more than pay for the tax cuts that we're debating right now.
