Rep. Thompson questions Bessent on household costs amid Iran conflict price spikes

Jul 22, 2026

The segment covers a House Ways and Means hearing where Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) challenges Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on President Trump's 'golden age economy' rhetoric. Thompson cites rising costs for electricity, health insurance, childcare, gas, and groceries, plus impacts on farmers from the Iran conflict, and questions an IRS settlement with Trump. Bessent responds on 2.6% growth since Trump took office, core inflation trends, and temporary energy effects. The clip highlights confrontational exchanges over yes/no answers and affordability, with limited sourcing beyond the hearing itself.
