Joe Scarborough visibly shocked finding out what the price of butter is: 'Is it wrapped in gold'

"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough was visibly shocked when his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski revealed how high the cost of butter has gotten in the last four years.

"A few weeks ago... somebody who was going to be voting for Kamala Harris came up to me and said 'oh my God, Trump's going to win... I go to the grocery store butter is over $3'" the former Florida congressman said.

"I kinda laughed and I said well that's kinda reductive isn't it, I said it to myself," Scarborough continued.

"It's $7... I'm just saying it's 7," Brzezinski interrupted.

"Butter is $7... What, is it framed in gold?" Scarborough replied incredulously, with a look of shock on his face.
