In a recent interview for Bloomberg TV, one of Biden’s top officials, Heather Boushey, a woman who sits on the Council of Economic Advisers, was humiliated by Jonathan Ferro, the host of the show.
He quizzed her about Brandon’s economically illiterate comments, an example being Biden’s recent claim about the price of gas being high because of greedy gas station owners, ignoring that those small business owners make almost no profit on a gallon of gas.
And so, blasting Heather and Biden on that gas station topic, Ferro said “Where’s that messaging coming from?”
Heather, as could be expected from some leftist working for Team Biden, had no answer, much less a good one. Instead, she mumbled out a Kamala-tier word salad that added nothing of value to the conversation.
And so she was then even more humiliated by host Tom Keene, who skewered her, saying:
“You didn’t answer his important question… Who is advising the president on shockingly naive price theory over a gallon of gas?”
Heather again didn’t respond to that and instead just started mumbling about the “global crisis”, a line to which Keene responded by blasting the implication of it and humiliating Heather, saying:
“Is this just central planning now? Where is this White House going?”
Watch that here, but be ready for a significant amount of cringiness:
Probably the most astounding interview I’ve seen in a while.

The tweet of Brandon’s that set off Keene and Ferro was this:
My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.
Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.
That ridiculous tweet was so bad that even liberal Jeff Bezos, owner of the far-left Washington Post and conservative censoring Amazon, got involved in attacking Biden, saying:
Ouch. Inflation is far too important a problem for the White House to keep making statements like this. It’s either straight ahead misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics.
Further calling out Biden’s statement for what it really is, Chen Weihua, a CCP official, said: “Now US President finally realized that capitalism is all about exploitation. He didn’t believe this before.”
Others chimed in too. Tim Young, for instance, said:
Even the person who wrote this tweet knows it’s complete bullshit and gas stations don’t control what they ultimately can charge.
People aren’t this stupid.
Similarly, Micahel Shellenberger, attacking Biden, said “You’re running out of scapegoats” and shared a tweet of his in which he said:
Many people are confused as to why high oil & gasoline prices aren’t resulting in significantly more oil production & refining. But the reason is simple: President Biden has actively prevented it since taking office in the name of climate change.
Rep. Pat Fallon joined in too, saying:
A new poll shows OVER 40% of Americans “are struggling to remain where they are financially.”
Yet, this Administration continues to peddle garbage like this.
SIMPLE economics completely debunks this lie.
