Amid Bessent’s commendation, a stark critique of President Biden emerged during the discussion. Concerns were raised about Biden's recent farewell address, which many interpreted as an attempt to recast his legacy and deflect criticism. Dagen McDowell highlighted Biden’s failure to acknowledge inflationary pressures that have plagued the economy, expressing disbelief at his assertion that no president should be immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office.
