A bold Labor Day prediction made two months ago by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was dredged up Monday and trolled by a smirking MS NOW host.Peter Alexander repeatedly shared a clip of the self-assured member of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet claiming Americans would see the return of $3 gas by Labor Day. "Inflation is going to come back down," Bessent assured Americans in July. "It's largely dominated, as you said, by gasoline. In many states, we're back to around $3.50. I think we can get back to $3.”When a CBS News reporter pressed Bessent to put a date to the pledge, he replied without pause, “Maybe by Labor Day.”After the clip ended, Alexander's eyebrows were raised. “It is Labor Day," he said. "Gas prices, as you are well aware, are nowhere close to $3 than they were a month ago. Right now, the national average is $4.15 per gallon — that's not three bucks. It's way higher than prior to the Iran war, when they were sitting below $3 a gallon.”Alexander noted Vice President JD Vance defended Bessent's comment, putting emphasis on the word "maybe."This did not stop Alexander from sharing some definite facts with his viewers. ”This is the most expensive Labor Day on record," he said, "with travelers facing higher costs on everything from airfare and gas prices.” - YouTube youtu.be

President Donald Trump's recent dump of "New America" AI-slop spurred a former GOP House member on Monday to make a surprising claim.Ex-Rep Charlie Dent (R-PA) grimaced on air when MS NOW host Peter Alexander revealed the president had once again posted an image on Truth Social that referred to New Mexico as “New America.”“I think most Americans look at this and they say, ‘What is he doing?’" said Dent.Dent urged Trump to stop slapping America's name on states and lakes and start addressing the issues affecting everyday Americans.“The president of the United States needs to be focusing on the hard issues, resolving this war, dealing with affordability," Dent said. "He continues to obsess over the ballroom and the Kennedy Center and the reflecting pool — I mean, all these sorts of things that are completely irrelevant to Americans' lives.”Dent called Trump's name obsession "bizarre" and then dropped a surprising theory.“These are not helping the president or his party — it's hurting his own team," said Dent. "It's almost like there's an intentional act to undermine your own party's prospects in the midterms.”
