National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says inflation is “clearly decelerating” over the last three months as he discusses the US August CPI report. Hassett also talks about respecting Federal Reserve independence on interest-rate decisions and the potential path to President Donald Trump’s suggestion of a $5,000 payment if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. Hassett also reflects on his personal experiences on September 11, 2001. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET Saturday & Sunday 7am-10am ET WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BloombergRadio Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: http://bit.ly/3DWYoAN Bloomberg Surveillance: http://bit.ly/3OPtReI Bloomberg Intelligence: http://bit.ly/3YrBfOi Balance of Power: http://bit.ly/3OO8eLC Bloomberg Businessweek: http://bit.ly/3IPl60i Listen on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with the Bloomberg B
