LARRY KUDLOW: “You know, Brooke, the other part of this, and I appreciate what you’re trying to do on the egg story. It’s a hard story. You inherited that story.”
USDA SEC. BROOKE ROLLINS: “That’s right.”
KUDLOW: “Some very, very smart people are telling me that the jobs number that’s coming at the February jobs number that’s coming out Friday could be flat, even negative, Brookie! The GDP now tracker from the Atlanta Fed is showing, I mean, for the first quarter, a minus two and a half or -2.8%, and we’ve had lousy numbers on things like housing and business investment.
“My generic point here, with respect to affordability and the economy, is we’re going to have to suffer through some bad news! This has nothing to do with Trump. Trump’s programs not in yet! And I’ve got people on the left who are blaming Trump. How can you blame Trump when he wasn’t president when these seeds were planted?”
ROLLINS: “Well, you couldn’t be more right about that because we’ve only been here 30 plus days. You can’t turn an entire economy around in 30 days.”
