“So having an intelligent perimeter is what we are working on, and we are finalizing ideas on how to do it with the best government scientists,” said Hassett. “And this is the kind of thing that should have happened a year ago, and if it was, then the prices of the eggs would be, you know, much better than they are now.”
Hassett also addressed the “very large” inflation problem, that he attributed to former president Joe Biden.

“We saw the consumer price index released, and we discovered that the stagflation which was created by the policies of President Biden was much worse than we thought,” said Hassett. “In the past three months, on all goods, including eggs, the average inflation rate was 4.6%, well above the target and an acceleration at the end of the term Biden.”
