The presenter started with a personal anecdote: “I want to talk a little about the economy. A few weeks ago, someone who was going to vote for Kamala Harris three weeks ago came up to me and said, ‘Oh my God, Trump is going to win.’ ‘Why is this?’ I’m going. He said, ‘I just went to the market. Butter is over $3.’ I laughed a little and said: ‘That’s pretty efficient, isn’t it?’ I smiled at him and made a good point. But actually everything we heard after the election…”

Brzezinski interrupted: “7 dollars. Just saying…”

“What is this?” Scarborough asked.

“$7,” he repeated.

Scarborough was stunned: “What is this? Is butter $7?”

“Yes,” he confirmed.

“What? With a gold frame?” he asked.

“Depends on where you’re going. $7,” he repeated.

“Okay, yeah,” Scarborough tried to continue. “Anyway, my point is that the rent is too high and this guy was saying the price of butter was too high.”
