This Might Be Scott Bessent’s Dumbest Take Yet… And That’s Saying Something

(00:00.726)

my Lord, it looks like our secretary of the treasury, Scott Besson, not only is he a farmer, but he’s a cowboy too. Remember that a few weeks ago, he was talking about soybeans and he said, I’m a soybean farmer. Sure you are, man. You own farmland that you lease out to farmers, okay? You’re not riding a bloody tractor out there, my friend. But anyway, my jaw dropped yesterday.

He was on Maria Bartiromo’s program on Sunday morning and he was asked a question. Maria put on somebody, actually like a clip from somebody from Omaha Steaks talking about the high price of meat. And Scott Bessent, and I’m going to paraphrase here, said that beef prices are high. I’m not making this up. Beef prices are high.

because immigrants from South America are bringing their cattle with them as they come here and they are infected with diseases.

I- WHO KNEW-

Who knew? Scott Besson’s a cow expert now. Wait a second. So illegal immigrants are coming from South, they’re coming all the way down from South America and they’re bringing their cows? What is this, the bloody Oregon Trail? Are you kidding me, Scott? Dude, if you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, shut up.

That was one of the most ridiculous things I’m thinking of that movie, Billy Madison, okay? We are all dumber based upon, Scott, based upon your interview yesterday. We are all dumber from watching that interview. That’s how bad that was. If you or Kevin Hassett at any given point in time, you guys are killing brain cells.

with the interviews that you’re giving.

They’re nonsensical. I was going to compare it to, you know, the old John Lovett’s character from Saturday Night Live there, the pathological liar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket. Remember that character? Anyway, I’m dating myself, I guess. Neither here nor there. It’s not even that. It’s nonsense. You went on national TV. All due respect, Maria. Come on. Would you call him out on this?

You saw it in her face, she’s like, this guy is full of it right now. You could see it, but she kind of just gave a little nod. Would you come on, do your job, call out BS when you hear it. Illegals are now importing cow diseases with their cows that they’re bringing into the country. Who knew?
