"LELAND VITTERT: Isn't a good story. PETER NAVARRO: Look, look, here's the thing. Again, what I'm suggesting to you is we go item by item. We've talked about shelter. We can talk about energy. Energy was the easiest thing to flip. We went from 75 down to 60, but the benefits of lower energy will take another 12 months to go through. I mean you should"
"LELAND VITTERT: Let me just read you something, and I got this last night after my segment with Bill O'Reilly. This is from Alice. She writes, Feelings don't matter. Prices in the grocery store do. My bread has risen 50 cents this year. Hamburger is now $8 a pound on sale. It was $4 a pound of sale last year. I call that a 100% increase, and she started the email off by saying I am a Trump supporter."
Leland Vittert pressed senior Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro over claims that President Trump 'feels your pain' about rising prices. Vittert played a clip and read an email from a Trump supporter reporting steep grocery-price increases, including bread up 50 cents and hamburger doubling to $8 per pound. Navarro urged addressing inflation item by item, cited shelter and energy improvements, and said he meets weekly in the Roosevelt Room with a group working on an attack plan for beef prices. Vittert pushed back and noted the president calling concerns a 'con job.'
