LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): Marcus, square this for me because the president said this in his Truth Social post, and it seems to be accurate: 'Walmart just announced that the prices for Thanksgiving dinner is down 25% since under Sleepy/Crooked Joe Biden, in 2024. Affordability is a Republican stronghold. Hopefully, Republicans will use this irrefutable fact.' So if that's true, I mean, everybody goes to Walmart. That's the number one retailer. And then you got Amazon, of course. Why aren't people feeling it if it's down 25% with the groceries there?
MARCUS LEMONIS (GUEST): Well, it may be true that the meal from Walmart is down 25%, but food prices are not down, and I don't think we should acknowledge that they are. And I think that's the one mistake that we maybe have made in the last several weeks is not just owning it. I don't think President Trump needs to run away from the fact that prices are up, they're up. There is nothing you can say about it.
