Inflation, as a rate of change, is dynamic. The Fed aims for it to be about 2%, but 7% is much too high so they are ramping up rates to put a stop to that. Prices rarely go back down (consistent falling prices would be deflation, which tends to be economically disastrous as it rewards doing nothing) but the rate can fall which is what he's referring to.
