I think he is SLEEPY BESSENT, Biden 2.0. The guy is too old, not acting or doing nothing, only talking. If he did help Soros back in the day, he's not helping Trump at all. Only talking, nothing else. Analyze the guy and make your own conclusions. He's been in office 1 year and nothing has changed, I bet he's Soros infiltrated and quietly doing bad stuff against Trump, he's a banker for God sake, he is a spy doing nothing for the administration, period. My own point of view.

7:20. There is no such thing as a "moderate democrat". The whole party is now all-in on communism/socialism. They won't quit until the US is the Soviet union.
@LeathanLIs that will Ferrell?
@lenvanbruggen748😂😂😂
@SharyShiraziNow it’s your turn.
You once sent Khomeini to the Iranians, and now you’re getting your own young Khomeini in return.
Khomeini came with beautiful promises — free this, free that, a bus, a house — and that’s how he gained power.
Now the same thing is happening here.
The problem is that SCOTUS does not control China's rare earths and magnets monopoly. China can screw the US anytime it wants. In addition, Dems will also claim a national security emergency and give statehood to Washington DC and Puerto Rico which will give the Dems 4 additional senators.
@JoYoon-yo4quI honestly think the Bessent is stupider then Robert Kennedy, and Robeet Kenedy is stupider than Trump. I guess he hired stupid people to make him look smarter. He stated in a private gathering that smart people don't like him.
@theMobileTech3707I was just talking about wall street moving to Texas. Mamdani is an economic fascists... socialism and communism is the state owns the means of production... fascism the state owns the market place and regulates and subsidizes the prices... I seriously find the ignorance amusing...
@ThatGuy-zu7zeGood god people in the comments are so reactionary. The country has been in a hyperinflation period since covid and it’s going to take some economic policy change to correct the spiral. It takes time. Let it play out before hitting the panic button.
@mfischer2103Stuttering Bessent comparing Obamacare which is a life and death situation to tariffs. This guy is just clueless.😂
@alexd5188So much propaganda in these interviews, now they lie about fentanyl out of Venezuela so they can go to war and take resources.
@rickd438🛡️⚔️❤️🇺🇲MAGA FOREVER🇺🇲❤️⚔️🛡️
@KevinNicholson-x1m7oHere's Trump's conundrum. The Supremos rule against him and say the Tariffs are unlawful. The stock market explodes upward, the middle class now get the biggest tax cut in their history and his economy actually succeeds, at least to some degree for a few years. How does he try to steal credit?
@Fried52This guy stutters, stammers, and hesitates like a husband who just got caught cheating on his wife.
@kokolovitch56And all Bessent got for his troubles is a $40 Billion bailout for his Billionaire buddy who was losing his a$$ in Argentina 😂
The ONLY people that believe these POS's are the insanely indoctrinated
I wonder if Scott Bissent's husband had any investments that were about to go bad in Argentina ?
@surgio154National Security my Ass!
@chantalpare9128That's a robot oh my
@JamesCannon-x7qSo China planned with a long term view on rare earths and USA hella mad that someone else has leverage!
@divs1825He's a Certified Professional LIAR.
@samuelmcclairenThe American people Doesn't trust the Republican.
@samuelmcclairenOpen the government. We need our food stamps low income senior here in a wheelchair.
@goldenstreets29Bessent is clearly in over his head but so is all of trump's cabinet.
@stevehunter291Just wondering why you interview these guys. It’s just one lie after the next.
@MikeHoltz-q4iRemember, this guys company had over 5 billion in holdings and dropped to 500 million as investors fled due to poor returns! But hey he knows what he is doing.
@christophergriffin5684Clearly the republicans have no health care plan!
@philtrabaris7033Several things listed as emergencies, but 42 million most vulnerable losing access to food is not one of them. Hmm?
@RonaldGrimsleyI haven't heard a single reporter or congressperson mentioned that there already has been a plan put in place to fix the Affordable Care Act during Trump's first term that didn't get passed narrowly so let's reopen that plan and start from there. They're already is a plan people saying that trumps only talked about a plan but hasn't put one forth simply do not have a good long-term memory
@kievanrus879Bessent look so evil
@michaelmarchal4004Tariffs are managed by the Senate. That is how it should be.
@Kiko-JonesGrifting groomer.
@chriswelch4118look at the makeup on this loon. crediting trump for solving problem of his own creation. value destroyers, dont know how to make a deal.
@GaryTruesdaleY'all Street
@digitalnate00Lies just like he said when he was a soybean farmer, he owns a land and rents it out.
@richardolson3540Trump Is the only admin addressing the insane trade imbalance and tariffs on American products. If the left ever gets back in power it will be open borders and bending over in front of every country hollering... You promised only the head.
@JeffP-q3kIt doesn't matter whether it is a president's signature policy. It matters whether it is legal based on the Constitution, legal precedent, and laws passed by Congress.
@lonecandle5786He says he can't negotiate during a shutdown, but that's false. He, the Republicans, and Trump are choosing not to negotiate. Other than by spreading falsehoods about the Democrats demanding healthcare for illegal immigrants.
@lonecandle5786Look, China can easily sanction export of rare earths to ANY Products that US sanctions against China! So if Blackwell cannot be sold to China, then China can prohibit any rare earths to be used on Blackwell. The end result is no one will have Blackwell!
@paulyang3314this interview is a climaxing event for Joe
@miglez96Is he ai. He talks like a robot.
@user-ei7ek4nt2fKeep Argentina and your private equity fund great again. Maga. Middle a is for Argentina.
@user-ei7ek4nt2fBefore tariff rare earth have no problem I think even China don’t know it how important it is 😂
