Stated on CNN that 'the Biden-Harris administration brought us to a 40-year high in inflation, 9.1%'

In a CNN interview with Jake Tapper (September 14, 2026), Speaker Mike Johnson attributed elevated inflation to the prior administration, citing the 9.1% peak. The 9.1% reading is historically accurate (June 2022), but CPI-U was approximately 3% at the January 2025 transition and is 3.4% today — higher, not lower, since the change of administration.

Verified Facts: CPI-U 12-month change: 9.1% (June 2022, BLS); 2.9% (December 2024, BLS); 3.4% (August 2026, BLS). Statement verified against the broadcast recording.

Attributed current 3.4% inflation partly to the Strait of Hormuz situation and unresolved Iran conflict

In the same CNN interview, Johnson said of the 3.4% inflation rate: 'A lot of that, of course, as you know, is related to the Strait of Hormuz and the unresolved situation there,' and cited fuel and transportation costs raising gas and grocery prices. BLS data corroborates fuel as a leading current driver.

Verified Facts: BLS Aug 2026: gasoline +3.9% monthly (over one-third of all-items increase); energy +16.3% y/y. Statement verified against the broadcast recording.
