- Warren challenged Bessent on Trump's false claim that grocery prices were falling in 2025, citing official data showing a 2.4% increase and projections of further increases.
- Warren questioned Bessent on whether Trump’s Fed nominee, Kevin Warsh, would be protected from legal action if he didn’t lower interest rates as Trump demanded, with Bessent deflecting responsibility to the president.
- Bessent was pressed on his comment blaming Alex Pretti’s death due to carrying a legally permitted gun, which Van Hollen called a justification of his killing; Bessent refused to retract or express remorse.
- The video concludes with criticism of Bessent’s evasive responses, labeling him as a “clown” who avoids accountability and shifts focus from economic issues to personal attacks and distractions.
