Stephanopoulos Shut Down as Walmart CEO Answers Question Live

ABC’s biased liberal George Stephanopoulos tried to bait Walmart’s CEO into bashing Trump and whining about the economy — and it backfired tremendously.

George: “Food prices are up, especially turkey… what are you doing to help customers?”

Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner didn’t take the bait — instead, he dropped facts.

John Furner: “Well, good morning, George, it’s great to see you. We are really excited about what we have planned for this year at Thanksgiving and I can’t believe it’s already that time of year, but this is a time of year when people are busy, they don’t want to sacrifice quality, and we want to do all we can to help them celebrate the holiday any way they want.

And we want to do it in a way that’s very affordable with a lot of value. So I want to talk about a couple things with the Thanksgiving basket.

You know, first, we started putting together this idea of having the entire basket easy to purchase, easy to assemble back in 2022. And this year, we will have the best prices on this basket we’ve had since the program started.

We’re down about 25% from last year, down about $14 for the basket, which puts us in a position where this basket is just under $4 a person when serving 10 people.

So we have a great basket that has a mix of our great brands, like Butterball turkeys. Our turkey prices, George, are all the way back to what they were in 2019 at 97 cents a pound. So we’re really excited about the progress.

I was really impressed when the team brought me this. It was better than I expected. So we’re looking forward to a great holiday season and we want to help people celebrate any way they want and do it at a great Walmart price.”
