BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): It is sort of bizarre to watch as Democrats and left-wing media members are very upset about the continuing solidity of the stock market. The stock market continues to do really well. This has forced Don Lemon into the awkward position of saying the stock market is not the economy. Now, again, this is usually what people out of power say. The stock market is not the economy. And it's true the stock market is not the entire economy. But it turns out that the stock market does have something to do with the economy, particularly if the inflation is not outsized.
And absent the Strait of Hormuz, inflation would not be outsized right now.
