JOHN ROBERTS (HOST): Why don't we start with the surprising news on inflation, down .2 of a percentage point month over month, down to 2.8% year over year, the core inflation rate at 3.1%. That is good news in anyone's books.
BRIT HUME (GUEST): It is, but it's not a huge drop, but it's big enough to matter to people, I think. And the main thing is that it wasn't an increase at a moment when inflation has been remarkably persistent, despite the fact that the Biden administration under which it began has gone now. So, obviously, any good news on this front is welcome to everyone. We'll see how it plays out in the weeks ahead.
ROBERTS: But there's perhaps a ticking time bomb out there because February there were no tariffs in place. They're all starting to take effect now.
