Ghislaine Maxwell Says She Believes Jeffrey Epstein Was Murdered

<p>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent challenged CBS journalist Margaret Brennan on Sunday over the potential inflationary impact of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs.</p>
<p>In a &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/scott-bessent-treasury-secretary-face-the-nation-06-01-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>, Brennan insisted &#8220;the reality is there will either be less inventory or things at higher prices, or both.&#8221; Bessent shot back, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/scott-bessent-treasury-secretary-face-the-nation-03-02-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alluding</a> to a previous conversation they had in March, days before Trump unleashed his &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs upon the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;Margaret, when we were here in March, you said there was going to be big inflation. There hasn&#8217;t been any inflation,&#8221; Bessent said. &#8220;Actually, the inflation numbers are the best in four years. So why don&#8217;t we stop trying to say this could happen, and wait and see what does happen.&#8221;</p>

<p>Earlier, Brennan told Bessent that when he was on the program in March, the two of them were &#8220;trying to gauge&#8221; how American consumers might be affected by the tariffs. She then asked the Cabinet official where he is anticipating price increases.</p>
<p>&#8220;We wanted to make sure that there aren&#8217;t price increases, Margaret. And thus far, there have been no price increases. Everything has been alarmist,&#8221; Bessent said, adding that the &#8220;inflation numbers are actually dropping.&#8221;</p>

<p>A couple of weeks ago, the Labor Department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inflation-hits-lowest-point-in-over-4-years-as-april-report-better-than-expected" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> data showing that inflation hit its lowest point — 2.3% — in four years, as Trump pursues trade deals with China and other countries hit by tariffs.</p>
<p>Brennan pressed Bessent on retailers such as Walmart, Best Buy, and Target <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/31/trump-tariffs-here-are-the-retailers-raising-prices.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raising prices</a>. In response, Bessent noted that other companies, including <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/20/home-depot-stock-prices-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Home Depot</a> and Amazon, have taken a different tack. And he pointed out, &#8220;I know what the South China Morning Post wrote within the past 24 hours that 65% — 65%! — of the tariffs will likely be eaten by the Chinese producers.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So are there five or eight areas that you have identified, as you said back in March, where American consumers will be able to have lower prices, or should be warned of higher prices?&#8221; Brennan asked.</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Well, a lot of it&#8217;s already working its way through the system,&#8221; Bressent replied. &#8220;So we&#8217;ve seen a substantial decrease in gasoline and energy prices. So that&#8217;s down 20% year over year. We&#8217;ve seen the food prices go down, these notorious egg prices. Through the good work of President Trump and [Agriculture] Secretary [Brooke] Rollins, egg prices have collapsed. So we&#8217;re seeing more and more.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;And what we want to do is even that out across all sections of the economy. So inflation has been very tame. Consumer earnings were up 0.8% last month, which is a gigantic increase for one month. So real earnings minus low inflation is great for the American people, and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re seeing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brennen also questioned Bessent about the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; that passed through the GOP-led House and is now under consideration by the Republican-controlled Senate.</p>
<p>&#8220;In it is increase or suspension to the debt limit that you need delivered on by mid-July. How close of a brush with default could this be, given how massive some of the Senate changes are expected to be to the other parts of the bill?&#8221; Brennan asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, first of all, Margaret, I will say the United States of America is never going to default. That is never going to happen. &#8230; We are on the warning track and we will never hit the wall,&#8221; Bessent said, adding later, &#8220;We don&#8217;t give out the X date because we use that to move the bill forward.&#8221;</p>

Treasury Secretary Busts ‘Alarmist’ Inflation Predictions

<p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) warned on Sunday that people &#8220;will literally die&#8221; if President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; passes through Congress and is enacted into law.</p>
<p>The alarmist statement, which the White House quickly disputed, came during an &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; interview on CNN.</p>
<p>&#8220;This bill actually hurts everyday Americans in order to reward billionaires,&#8221; Jeffries said. &#8220;It would strip away health care from approximately 14 million Americans. Premiums, co-pays, and deductibles for tens of millions more will go up. Actually, if it ever were to be implemented into law, hospitals will close, nursing homes will shut down, and people will literally die.&#8221;</p>

<p>The official &#8220;Rapid Response&#8221; account on X for the White House posted a clip of the comments and issued a pointed retort.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hakeem Jeffries says &#8216;PEOPLE WILL LITERALLY DIE&#8217; if the One Big Beautiful Bill becomes law,&#8221; the account <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1929176824321348033" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Of course, everything he says is a complete lie because the bill PROTECTS health care for American citizens.&#8221;</p>
<p>Much of the Democrats&#8217; criticism of the bill, which is now in the hands of the GOP-led Senate after passing through the Republican-controlled House, centers on its proposed reforms to Medicaid.</p>

<p>Also in his interview, Jeffries was <a href="https://x.com/CNNSOTU/status/1929196237690970384" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confronted</a> with new CNN polling that found only 19% of Americans say the Democrats can get things done — a lower number than the 36% for Republicans — and only 16% say his party has strong leaders.</p>

<p>&#8220;Yeah, we don&#8217;t have the presidency right now, so that&#8217;s always going to be challenging a few months after a presidential election,&#8221; Jeffries said, adding later, &#8220;Understandably, there&#8217;s real frustration amongst the American people.

Hakeem’s Hysteria: Top Dem Claims ‘People Will Literally Die’ If ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Prevails

<p>President Donald Trump&#8217;s budget chief delivered on Sunday a counterargument to Elon Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-disappointed-by-one-big-beautiful-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warning</a> that the House-passed version of the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; would further expand the federal deficit.</p>
<p>On CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; anchor Dana Bash showed Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a clip of Musk telling &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning&#8221; in a recent <a href="https://x.com/CBSSunday/status/1927535075144421527" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> of his concern that the legislation will inflate the federal deficit that has already blown past $1 trillion in recent years. Musk also referred to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative that he oversaw for the past few months.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was like — disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it. And it undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,&#8221; Musk said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I love Elon,&#8221; Vought responded. &#8220;This bill doesn&#8217;t increase the deficit or hurt the debt. In fact, it lowers it by $1.4 trillion. What some of the watchdogs have done is, they have used CBO&#8217;s artificial baseline, which doesn&#8217;t allow and assume that current tax law will be extended because of sunsets that are in the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vought added later, &#8220;When you assume the extension of the president&#8217;s tax relief from 2017, this budget or this bill, and it&#8217;s really a reconciliation bill — it&#8217;s not really a budget bill. It is using a budget process. This is a $1.4 trillion over 10 years deficit reduction. It&#8217;s $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings. Obviously, we have a little bit of spending in there as well for border and defense. But that is the biggest mandatory savings package that we have seen since 1997. It&#8217;s very historic.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p>The &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which is moving through Congress through the reconciliation process that will allow the Senate to bypass the filibuster threshold, aims to advance Trump’s priorities on border security, energy, and national defense. It also seeks to retain tax cuts from 2017 that are set to expire at the end of this year, raise the debt limit by trillions of dollars, and much more.</p>
<p>Trump has <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1925548216243703820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the bill &#8220;arguably the most significant piece of Legislation that will ever be signed in the History&#8221; of the United States, but has given his <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/05/26/make-changes-they-want-trump-gives-senate-go-ahead-take-red-pen-big-beautiful-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blessing</a> to GOP senators, some of whom have also raised <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-rebuts-rand-pauls-debt-warning-big-beautiful-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">objections</a> to the bill in its current form, to &#8220;make the changes they want.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk, who just ended his stint as a special government employee, also said in the CBS interview that when the bill came along, he thought &#8220;everything&#8221; accomplished by DOGE would get &#8220;wiped out&#8221; in the first year. He also said, &#8220;I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both. My personal opinion.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last week, Vought <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-budget-director-confirms-first-targets-for-clawing-back-spending" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the White House planned to send its first rescissions package of the year to Congress on Monday or Tuesday, aiming to claw back spending for U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and NPR — programs that Republicans view as being wasteful and partisan. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has listed rescissions as being one of two actions the House will take based on findings from DOGE, in addition to using the appropriations process to “swiftly implement” Trump’s proposed 2026 budget.</p>

Trump’s Budget Chief Responds To Elon’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Critique

<p>Ahead of high-stakes peace talks in Istanbul, Ukraine says it carried out an audacious drone attack that destroyed over 40 Russian military planes at airfields, including Belaya air base in Russia’s Irkutsk region.</p>
<p>Planned for over a year and overseen by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the operation involved drones smuggled deep into Russia via truck containers, a Ukrainian security official <a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-sumy-region-18966d4b286ffb6f4e764b94a6afaf61" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Associated Press. Also noted by the news outlet, Russia conducted its own attack with 472 drones and several missiles, killing at least 12 Ukrainian service members and injuring over 60 others, according to Ukraine&#8217;s air force.</p>
<p>The assaults, which happened before Monday’s planned negotiations in Turkey, underscore the fragile prospects for peace.</p>
<p>Zelensky, <a href="https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1929145331696239049" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting</a> on X, outlined Ukraine’s demands: &#8220;First — a full and unconditional ceasefire. Second — the release of prisoners.

The key issues can only be resolved by the leaders. On Monday, our delegation will be led by Rustem Umerov.&#8221;</p>

<p>Russia’s state-run TASS <a href="https://x.com/tassagency_en/status/1929182444097327484" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quoted</a> envoy Rodion Miroshnik accusing Kyiv of &#8220;destabilizing the situation&#8221; ahead of the talks.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump, a vocal critic of the war’s escalation, has taken to Truth Social to lambast both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelensky.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!&#8221; Trump said in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114571369956761390" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent</a> post on Truth Social.</p>
<p>&#8220;Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop. This is a War that would never have started if I were President. This is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and [former President Joe] Biden’s War, not &#8216;Trump’s,&#8217; I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred.&#8221;</p>

Ukraine Says It Obliterated 40 Russian Military Planes In Drone Attack

<p>On Saturday night, President Donald Trump abruptly withdrew his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-nominates-ally-of-elon-musk-to-lead-nasa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nomination</a> of Jared Isaacman, a close ally of Elon Musk, to be the next Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).</p>
<p>&#8220;After a thorough review of prior associations, I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head NASA,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114605559474286180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on Truth Social. &#8220;I will soon announce a new Nominee who will be Mission aligned, and put America First in Space. Thank you for your attention to this matter!&#8221;</p>
<p>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/us/politics/trump-nasa-nominee-musk.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Trump had told people he was going to withdraw the nomination after learning that Isaacman, an entrepreneur who has flown into space twice with Musk&#8217;s SpaceX company, made donations to Democrats. Isaacson had been <a href="https://x.com/SenateCloakroom/status/1925628326095257635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poised</a> to get a final confirmation vote in the Senate after passing through the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.</p>
<p>In a post on X, Isaacman <a href="https://x.com/rookisaacman/status/1928995338729435432" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he was &#8220;incredibly grateful&#8221; to Trump, the Senate, and those who supported him through the nomination process over the past six months.</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p>&#8220;The President, NASA and the American people deserve the very best&#8211;an Administrator ready to reorganize, rebuild and rally the best and brightest minds to deliver the world-changing headlines NASA was built to create,&#8221; Isaacman said. &#8220;I have not flown my last mission — whatever form that may ultimately take — but I remain incredibly optimistic that humanity’s greatest spacefaring days lie ahead.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pro-Trump activist journalist Laura Loomer <a href="https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1928849664905728223" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on X earlier on Saturday that &#8220;Deep State operatives&#8221; were trying to &#8220;derail&#8221; Isaacman&#8217;s nomination, noting there was &#8220;reason to believe&#8221; that he was &#8220;facing retaliation because of his friendship&#8221; with Musk, who just <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/trump-musk-final-day-at-doge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ended</a> a stint as a special government employee in Trump&#8217;s administration. Loomer also pointed out that Isaacman had given $2 million to Trump&#8217;s inauguration and was on track to get over 70 votes in the Senate.</p>
<p>Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) <a href="https://x.com/TimSheehyMT/status/1928856589018038330" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a> to Loomer&#8217;s post, saying, &#8220;Astronaut and successful businessman [Isaacman] was a strong choice by President Trump to lead NASA. I was proud to introduce Jared at his hearing and strongly oppose efforts to derail his nomination.&#8221;</p>

Trump Abruptly Withdraws Musk Ally’s Nomination For NASA Chief

<p>Democrats are not ready to let go of Elon Musk, one of their leading political targets, now that he is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-would-like-to-thank-president-trump-musk-says-farewell-to-doge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">parting ways</a> with the Trump administration.</p>
<p>Musk has drawn their ire for months due to his efforts to help President Donald Trump cut waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal government with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The billionaire tech entrepreneur is moving on to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-significantly-cut-back-doge-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rededicate</a> himself to his companies.</p>
<p>&#8220;Good riddance — but Musk isn’t off the hook for his chaos and corruption,&#8221; Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said in a post on X. &#8220;We must hold him accountable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who is <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/05/01/congress/crockett-maneuvers-for-oversight-00321736" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly pushing</a> to become the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee, also put Musk on notice.</p>
<p>&#8220;Elon came to Washington thinking he could run the government like one of his companies — firing people left and right, gutting essential services, and tearing this s*** up from the ground up,&#8221; Crockett <a href="https://x.com/RepJasmine/status/1928090181694890007" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;What he did is the definition of waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s time for a full investigation into the damage he’s caused and for the truth to come to light.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p>As it stands, Democrats in Congress can investigate Musk and make requests for interviews and documents. However, because they lack a majority in the House and Senate, they do not have the power to subpoena or schedule official hearings. That may change after the 2026 midterm elections if Republicans lose seats.</p>
<p>In a post on X announcing his departure, Musk thanked Trump &#8220;for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending&#8221; and said that the DOGE &#8220;mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many GOP lawmakers praised Musk after he confirmed his time as a special government employee was coming to an end. They have also voiced eagerness to codify the so-called &#8220;DOGE cuts,&#8221; a process that is set to begin next week, when the White House is expected to send its first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-budget-director-confirms-first-targets-for-clawing-back-spending" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rescissions package</a> to the House.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you [Elon Musk] for your incredible efforts and sacrifices you made to launch DOGE to save America from our national debt crisis,&#8221; DOGE Subcommittee Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) <a href="https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1927883321997934805" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on X. &#8220;This should only be the beginning of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse and delivering government efficiency for the American people.&#8221;</p>
