Graph PROVES that Biden (NOT Putin) is to blame for gas prices

Glenn CANNOT TAKE the lies being spewed from the Biden administration about our ‘booming’ economy. So, in this clip, he breaks down some of those lies. First, low unemployment numbers do NOT necessarily indicate a strong job market and second, Putin is NOT to blame for today’s high gas prices. The Biden administration is to blame, and a graph Glenn and Stu show in this clip PROVES it...

GLENN: I'm going to play cut three here. This is over the weekend. This is the commerce secretary, on Joe Biden, and gas prices. Listen to this.

VOICE: Am I comfortable? I mean, I certainly support the president, and his national security team. No one knows more about, you know, national affairs, and President Biden. And I would say, that he is very serious, when the president when he says, he's going to use every arrow in his quiver, in order to bring down gas prices for Americans.

>> That makes no sense whatsoever. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Do you remember when Barack Obama was talking about coal prices? Because he wanted a cap and trade system. And he at least admitted what would happen. If you start to implement cap and trade. If you start to go after these industries and say, that we're not going to make this anymore. You're going to have to change your companies. And change the way you -- you burn coal. What did he say exactly? Listen.

VOICE: Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even --

GLENN: Huh.

VOICE: Regardless of what I say, about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal-powered plants --

GLENN: Wow.

VOICE: Natural gas. You name it. Whatever the plants were. Whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.

GLENN: Oh. Remember the good old takes with Barack Obama. Because all he said, is it would skyrocket. Because they would have to make their plants more clean. This is Joe Biden shutting things down. And he has bragged about it on the campaign trail. He said, that was his goal. We are going to get away from fossil fuels. We are going toggle towards electric. All of these things. And now suddenly, they're trying to say, that he's fighting for the little guy. No. You do what Biden has done. You do what ESG has done. And the gas price. Your electricity price. Your -- your LP price will necessarily skyrocket.

STU: It's been fascinating to watch him try to take both sides of this. He ran -- Joe Biden ran a campaign to his environmentalist supporters that said, we're going to do everything we can, to transform the economy. Away from fossil fuels. Completely. By 2030. He has been talking about this, constantly, since he started running in the Democratic primary, about all of the actions, he would take, to make sure that we no longer had fossil fuels has an essential part of our economy. And then when gas prices go up, and people say, hey. Look at all the stuff you're doing to restrict fossil fuels from our economy. He has said, we have done nothing to restrict fossil fuels from our economy.

GLENN: Exactly right. And he went on over the weekend, to say this, or his officials said this. Cut nine.

VOICE: You really isolate what's going on outgoing here. It's because Vlad Putin decided to take on this irresponsible war. And we've created all of these perturbations in the global energy markets.

So, yes, we have to deal with that. And, yes, we have to stand with Ukraine, and we need to fight his aggression. And, yes, that creates serious global challenges in our energy market. But I don't think we should confuse that with the transition that the market is driving. And that we can accelerate, while actually lowering cost for consumers. I mean, the thing that people often miss out, is that if we provided technology neutral, long-term incentives, to produce lower cost, cleaner energy in the United States, American utility companies, would go out and lower people's utility bills. If Congress passed that legislation, American utility companies, would actually lower utility bills.

So there's actually a pathway here to reduce the cost of energy, just --

GLENN: Stop. Stop.

Just like Obamacare reduced your health care costs. Remember that promise? So they just need another piece of legislation. But did you notice what he said? The market is driving the green transition?

No. It is no longer a free market. You don't want a free market. You want the American free market gone, in the Great Reset. ESG standards are not a free market. I can't tell you the number of executives. And I ask every single one of them. Please come on the air with me. Please come on the air with me. I can't -- I can't right now. But here's what we can do.

And when you start getting some momentum, I will come out. I mean, large banking people. Large companies, that are -- they know this is wrong. But they're afraid to come out, because they'll be destroyed. And this is what is driving up your gas price. This is what is driving up -- remember, USAID, Samantha Powers, she's the head of the USAID. She said that the food crisis she hopes will teach farmers that they have to start farming green. This is all about government control through agencies. And pressures. Through those who are in on it. With the -- the financial institutions. And it is extraordinarily dangerous. Here's what he said, Friday, go Biden about inflation. Now, listen to this. Cut eight.

BIDEN: Today, I would like to speak with my top economic priority. Fighting inflation. I understand Americans are anxious. And they're anxious for good reason. I was raised in a household when the price of gasoline rose precipitously. It was a discussion at the table. It made a difference. When food prices went up. But we've never seen anything like Putin's tax on both food and gas. America should also understand our economy has unique strengths. That we can build on. The job market is the strongest it's been since World War II. Notwithstanding --

GLENN: I can't take it. Stop. I cannot take it. I can't take it. The job market is as strong as it's ever been. Well, I guess if you just look at the numbers. And fail to recognize how many people aren't working. What, did we come up with all these new jobs at McDonald's, at restaurants -- at stores where they can barely keep their doors open, because no one will work there!

Don't tell me the job market is the strongest it's ever been. You're only quoting the unemployment numbers.

And those in connection with come from the number of people who say, I'm looking for a job, and I can't find one. There are more Americans, that are choosing to be unemployed, more than ever before. So don't tell me. I mean, I could handle it. If our economy was roaring right now. And everybody was doing well, okay. The job market, the reason why McDonald's can't get a cashier. Is because that cashier can make more money at a different job. That cashier is not there, because it's chosen not to work. And the gas price thing, Stu. I saw your chart last Friday. Can you take us through the chart?

STU: Yeah. There was a chart that the Democrats actually released on their own. Which was, average gas prices around the country, in late November, and it showed a decline in prices. And the -- and that's not. That's not -- yeah. Okay.

So if you see the price we're showing now, you see a big increase, and this little tiny area is what they highlighted. To describe it, to the -- to the radio listeners. It's this little tiny decrease over a two-week period in November 2021. And the Democrats tweeted this chart out. And said, thanks Joe Biden. Well, we decided to update the chart. And show you where it went after that. And it's just incredible increases. We can tweet it out from @StuDoesAmerica here in a second, if you haven't seen it yet. But it just goes straight, straight up. And another thing you noticed in the chart, was what they called the Putin price hike. There was one. That's not a ridiculous thing. You see the chart, right as they invade, go straight up. But what they don't talk about, is it comes back to earth. And falls right on the line that was increasing before. So, yes. There was about a month of probably increases that you can probably determine, was toward Putin in the invasion's fault. Right? You can actually blame that. But it's come to exactly the line where it was. And it's continued to increase since.

GLENN: May I just show -- I mean, you need to make another chart. And tweet it out. Where you just put a dotted line from -- that deletes the war. That deletes Putin. Because it is exactly on the same line. The same axis.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: You'll see it -- do you have that?

STU: It's on the screen right now.

GLENN: There you did it, okay. Shut up, Glenn. I didn't see that one. But it is exactly -- you got to tweet that out too. And tweet it out on my Twitter and Instagram as well, will you, Stu?

STU: Sure.

GLENN: It is a straight line. So it would have been here, anyway. Without the war. This is ESG. This is the fact that companies -- gas, oil, coal companies, cannot get anyone to invest, because not the market. But because of this global reset. The Great Reset. The World Economic Forum. All of these crazy people, that are prioritizing humans, over the earth. Look, I am all for -- I'm going to -- I'm going to tweet something out. I'm going to tweet a link out. On something I did. Gosh, how long was it, Stu?

Fifteen years ago. When GM let me drive their hydrogen car, and there was no hydrogen station. There was nothing. If I ran out of gas. They would have to come and bring hydrogen fuel and recharge the car. But they were so excited about it. And after I drove it, I was too. It was fantastic. Fantastic.

And it is the way to -- to get rid of CO2. If you want to reduce it, then it should be hydrogen. We keep looking. I don't know if you saw this tweet of the -- the politicians that were talking about this glorious new GM. Electric car. And they can't wait. It's out on the market now. And it's wonderful. And one reporter says, where do you get the electricity to charge it? And the politician says, well, right here at it dealership. We just plug it in. Yeah, yeah. But where does the dealership get the electricity to charge it?

GLENN: Well, from the power grid. Okay. My God. Where does the power grid get the electricity?

Well, from the power plant. Where does the power plant get the energy to make the electricity? Well, it's coal, of course. But we're going to get off that. So what you're saying to me right now, buying an electric car does nothing for the environment. Because it's all going to a coal-fired power plant. Or a gas-fired power plant. Yes. But we're going to have solar really soon.

As a guy, who is sitting currently in a studio, that is run by solar power. There's many things, I cannot do here. Because I don't have enough electricity. I'm sitting here.

The sun has just broken out. My solar panels are getting energy. And collecting energy from the sun, for the first time, in two days. Seattle, good luck. Good luck. In the winter, the bulk. With all of that energy. This makes no sense. They are not only driving the price up, so they can have a wonderful economy in the future. Which is not going to happen, if you do it this way. Not only doing that. But they are destroying America. They are destroying everything we are. Every hope that we have. And they will be responsible for the deaths of millions of people. Just like they are right now. By the way, everything that Joe Biden did. Said, we're going to choke them off on oil. Because that's how they'll make their money. We'll collapse the ruble. The ruble is up. The ruble is higher than it was before the war. Putin is now selling more oil, at a higher cost, than he was during the war. So he's not paying a Putin price hike. Only we are. Except, we were the ones, that were inflicting it on ourself. These people either are completely clueless, which I do not believe. Because I've read too many of their words. They know impala what they're doing. Joe may not. Because he's worried about pooping in his own pants, I'm sure. But the people around him, know exactly what they're doing. And what they're doing, is destroying this country. Back in just a second.

‘STUNNING’ statistics PROVE the church may be in DANGER

A recent report found that only 37 PERCENT of Christian pastors bring a ‘Biblical worldview’ with them to the pulpits. And, for Catholic priests, the numbers are even worse. Glenn breaks down these ‘STUNNING’ statistics which prove that the Christian church in America may be in BIG danger…

GLENN: By the way, there's a couple of things hear. Only half of evangelical pastors hold a Biblical worldview.

Now, this might be a little shocking for people who go to church. A study released Tuesday builds on an other report from American World View inventory 2022, which shows that 37 percent of Christian pastors bring a Biblical worldview with them, to the pulpits.

Now, a Biblical worldview is -- do you -- does every person have a purpose and a calling is this

Do you have a purpose for being here? And can God call you to something? I'm asking you, Stu.

STU: Why are you asking me, without the echo in your voice?

GLENN: Because I don't want you to feel damned, immediately.

STU: Oh, okay.

GLENN: So do you feel the purpose in calling?

STU: Sure.

GLENN: Family and value of life. Those come from God.

STU: Yes.

GLENN: Do you believe in God?

STU: This is a tough one. After the previous two, but yes.

GLENN: Do you believe in creation? I know this is weird. Creation and history?

STU: I believe in history. I just believe in --

GLENN: I believe in creation. Do you? I mean, intelligent design. I don't know how he creates.

STU: Yeah. I don't find that question to be as riveting as some do. I don't really care how he did it, honestly. But it's on him.

GLENN: It's like, oh, we got you there. So you're saying, dinosaurs aren't real?

STU: Yeah. I don't really -- I don't know all the details to it. It wasn't there. I will say, I don't know how an i Phone works exactly. But I'm glad the texts go through.

GLENN: But I don't believe in Steve Jobs. He never existed. That just, all of a sudden appeared on a beach somewhere.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Let's see. Do you believe in sin? Salvation and relationship with God?

Do you believe in behavior and relationships, the Bible, and its truth and morals?

STU: I think.

GLENN: Yeah. I think those are all pretty easy. Only 37 percent of pastors. Believe in that.

STU: Oh.

GLENN: I mean, you might want to put that on the front sign. You know what I mean?

Like, hey, come in. Try our doughnuts. And we don't really believe what you think we believe.

STU: Well, this happened to you. Right? When you were doing your church tour. Back in the day.

GLENN: Oh, back in the day. We went to every church. Every religion. Because my wife wouldn't marry me without a common religion.

And I'm like. I love God and everything. But religion, I --

STU: This is a long time ago. This was not you, at the time though.

You were not. This church tour happened, in what? I don't remember what year it was.

GLENN: '99.

STU: Wow, it was a long time ago.

GLENN: A long time ago.

STU: You were finding your way. Mainly because your wife wouldn't marry you if -- you're forced into it.

GLENN: Right. I was forced into it. And she didn't believe in premarital sex either. And I'm like, okay. Chickaboo. I said, what is it going to take? And she said, God. Here I am. I'm practically a god, look at me. No.

STU: A Greek god.

GLENN: A Greek god. She vomited. And then I went to church. So we tried everything. I mean, we -- I really liked a Jewish synagogue we went to. Except you couldn't eat a lot of good things that I liked. And I don't speak a word of Hebrew. But it was in and out on Saturday, and it was pretty good. I since learned there was more than that.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: But I went to this church. And it was. What do they call those churches? Congregational, right? The white churches on the greens.

Yeah. I think it's congregational churches. And they're non-denominational. And so I'm sitting there in the pew. And Tania and I were listening.

It's okay. It's church. And during it the sermon. The pastor said, now, you all know that I don't believe in God. But if there is a God, we should serve him.

And I'm like, hey, that doesn't make any sense at all. Okay?
(laughter)

GLENN: And that should be on the front door, someplace. Before you go and sit down, you should just know, our pastor does not believe in God. But if there is a God, maybe we should serve him.
(laughter)
You know, good safety tip there. So back in just a minute. I'm going to give you a reason on why I'm telling you this latest survey. It's crazy. Finnegan is a 12-year-old Husky Lab. And Daniel not his owner. That would be wrong.

His adult friend. He said Finnegan used to sleep all the time. We had to spike his food every day with cheese and ham, et cetera. And even then, he wouldn't eat most of his food. Sometimes for days. I was skeptical about ordering Ruff Greens. But I gave it a try. In a month or so, Finnegan was incredibly active, and he runs and plays with other dogs. He even chases rabbits and squirrels again. I wish I would have discovered this for him, long ago.

Well, get it when you can, you know. Doing the best you can, to raise a health dog. Ruff Greens can help you. It's not a dog food. It's vitamins and minerals. And all the other things that your dog needs to live a healthy life. And they love it. And you put it on there. Now, not all dogs love it, I'm sure. So they want to give you a free bag, to make sure that your dog loves it, as much as my dog Uno. And Daniel's dog Finnegan. They'll eat it, man. You just watch over them. They change. It is really great to see. It's Ruff Greens. RuffGreens.com/Beck. RuffGreens.com/Beck.

GLENN: On only 30 percent of Christian pastors believe and have a Biblical worldview. I mean, if you're not talking about sin and, you know, how to be a better Christ-like person. And how do you -- 37. What are they teaching?

STU: Those are the questions. The specific questions asked. Certainly, there are differences among denominations. And various questions.

But these are pretty basic points.

GLENN: Are these eight categories. Eight categories. Purpose and calling. Family and value of life.

God, creation and history. Faith practices. Sin, salvation, and relationship with God. Human character. And nature. Lifestyle. Behavior and relationships.

Oh, and the Bible. Truth and morals.

STU: Yeah. I know there are obviously disagreements on some of the intricate matters of faith between denominations and pastors.

GLENN: Sure. But 37 percent.

STU: The only thing I would ask, who is the defining Biblical worldview there? And I would assume --

GLENN: The bible.

STU: If you're assuming broad categories like that, that's a stunning number.

GLENN: Stunning. Stunning number.

STU: To the point of, how is it possible?

GLENN: So 57 percent of pastors leading non-denominational and independent churches, held a Biblical worldview, a nationwide study in February. Conducted in February. Nondenominational and independent churches were more likely to subscribe to a Biblical worldview than evangelical churches. Perhaps most surprisingly 48 -- 48 percent of pastors of Baptist churches, widely viewed as the most enthusiastic about embracing the Bible. Held a Biblical worldview, 48 percent.

Pastors of Southern Baptist churches by contrast were far more likely. 78 percent, to have Biblical beliefs. The traditional black Protestant churches and Catholic priests, I'm sorry. Just -- wow. I just had to read this again.

Traditional black Protestant churches and Catholic priests, were found least likely to hold a Biblical view. With the incidence of Biblical worldview, measured in the single dingles. Black churches. 9 percent of pastors and Catholic priests. 6 percent.

STU: I feel like you ask atheists, if you have a Biblical worldview. You would have higher than 9 percent.

GLENN: I think I could give it to Penn Jillette. And he would be like, you know.

STU: At 14 percent. I'm at 14 percent.

GLENN: Yeah. That's crazy. In churches with an average of 100 or fewer within attending weekly services. 41 percent of the pastors had a Biblical worldview. Larger fellowships with 100 to 250 adults fared better, with 45 percent.

However, 14 percent of pastors leading mid-sized churches, between 250 and 600 people. 14 percent.

And 15 percent of pastors with congregations of more than 600 adults. That's crazy.

STU: Yeah. That's hard to understand how that's possible. Why would you be involved in this business, right?

I hate to call it a business. It's your life's work. It's your career. Right?

GLENN: It's like. You know what it means? It's my uncle who is the head of safety at Boeing for years, and he would never fly. He would never get on an airplane. And he would be like, uncle Dave, what is that? And he's like, if you fly, you have to fly a Boeing.

STU: If they can care about it a little.

GLENN: It is my uncle, who is the head of safety at bowing for years. Okay.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: And he would never fly. He would never get on an airplane.

STU: Right.

GLENN: And you would be like, uncle Dave. I don't. What is that? And he's like, if you fly, you have to fly a Boeing. But there's no reason, logically that that thing should be able to take off and fly. I don't know if you're the best for safety, you know.

I think that's -- my uncle Dave should have been a priest maybe.

Glenn reads leftists’ CLUELESS reactions to SCOTUS decision

The far-left proved once again it’s members care very little about ‘peace.’ In fact, some reactions from leftist, blue checkmarks on Twitter show just how ANGRY they can be…especially when it comes to the Supreme Court preserving the Constitution and returning rights to the STATES. Glenn reads several of their reactions to SCOTUS' recent decision that further protects the Second Amendment...

GLENN: Boy, I just wanted to go through some of the blue checkmark responses from yesterday. Because, gee. I just -- I just don't -- I just don't know what else to say. They were so right on target. Now, that's -- that's a joke. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it actually target. You know, like Sarah Palin actually meant it. Alicia Sultan. Or Ashia, or whatever her name is. She says, God forbid. Listen, you're listening right now to a guy who is in the Radio Hall of Fame. I am so good at what I do. I don't even need to know how to pronounce names. I don't have to. They were like, this guy is like a radio god.

Yeah, but have you heard him?
Yeah, put him in the Hall of Fame.
Anyway, she said, God forbid, someone you love gets killed by gun violence. I second that. Second Amendment fetishizing will never bring that back, or a make that loss easier to bear. Yeah. I agree with that. I mean, hang on. Let me just take the ball out of my mouth here. I have this fetish thing with the Second Amendment. It is hot. Too many people believe that unfettered access to guns will never hurt someone they love, until it happens. Okay. I don't know what your point is really here. Marion Williams says. People will die because of this. And to be very clear, now, listen to this argument.
To be very clear. They're not doing this to protect the Second Amendment. They're doing it to protect the primacy of property rights.
Well, gosh, that's a good reason to do it too, I guess. Huh. I didn't even think of the property right part. But thanks for pointing that out, Marion. Neil Cattial says, it's going to be very weird if the Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week. Saying it should be left to the states to decide, right after it imposed a constitutional right to conceal and carry firearms. Saying, it cannot be left to the states to decide.
Neil, here's what you're missing, dude.One is actually in the Constitution. It's called the Second Amendment. That tells the federal government, and the states exactly what they can and cannot do. What government cannot do. There is no right to abortion. I -- show it to me. Show it to me. When you can show it to me, I will change my argument. That, when it's not in -- I'll talk slowly for you, Neil.
When it's not in the Constitution, then, there's this part of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It's -- it's -- just look for the number ten. Okay? And that says anything that's not specifically in the Constitution. That goes then to the states. Yeah. Look at you. You're going to read something.
Jill Flipuffock says -- says the kind of people who desperately want to carry concealed weapons in public, is based on a generalized interest in self-defense are precisely the kind of paranoid, insecure, violence, fetishizing people, who should not be able to carry a concealed weapon in public. Okay. So let me get this right.
If you want to carry one, you're the kind that shouldn't carry one. So, in other words, when -- this is right. Jill, my gosh, my whole world is changing. Thank you for this. Now I understand when Martin Luther King went in and said to the state officials, hey. I need to have a concealed carry permit. He's exactly the kind of guy, you Democrats didn't want to carry a gun.
Yes! Jill, thank you for that enlightenment. David Hogged says, you're entitled to your opinion. But not your own facts. And like your own facts, you're not entitled to your own history. That's exactly what the Supreme Court decision is. It's a reversal of 200 years of jurisprudence that will get Americans killed. David, David
Have you read a book? Come on. Do you know anything at all -- name three founders. Can you do it? Right now, think. Go. Can't do it, David. 200 years.
Our -- the only times -- the only times in our history, and you wouldn't know this. Because you bury all the left. Buries the Democratic history.
The only time that we have any kind of history, where we're taking guns away from people, is when the government is afraid of those people. When the government gets really, really racist. Okay? That's why the Indians, yeah. That's why they're living on reservations now. Because we took away their guns. Yeah. Yeah.
That's why after the Civil War. And before the Civil War, slaves could not have guns. Why?
Because they might defend themselves. And then, after they were freed, oh, my gosh, the Democrats freaked out. Those freed slaves, will have a way to protect themselves. And they got it done through all kinds of laws, kind of like what you're doing now.
Thank you, David for writing in. You're special. March for Our Lives. Blue checkmark said yesterday.
The court's decision is dangerous. And deadly. The unfairly nominated blatantly partisan justices put the Second Amendment over our lives. No. I -- I -- may I quote the Princess Bride? I do not think those words mean what you think they mean. Okay?
Second Amendment is there, to protect our lives. To protect our property. And to protect our freedom.
I just want to throw that one out. The blood of American people who die from needless gun violence will be on their corrupt hands.
Okay. Wahajit Ali (phonetic) said, let's have a bunch of black, brown, and Muslim folks carry large guns in predominantly white neighborhoods.
I know the Second Amendment advocates will say that's great and encourage it. Because American history proves otherwise. We might get gun control. But we would also get a lot of chalk outlines.(laughter)Mr. Ali, you are so funny.
See, what you fail to recognize is that all of the people that you say are racist, aren't racist.
There are racists in this country, a lot of them seem to come from the left. You know, like the socialist Klan members. Or the socialist Nazi members. You see what they have both in common?
Yeah. Democratic Party. Anyway, Mr. Alley, if someone wants to carry a gun. And they're a Muslim. I have absolutely no problem. You're brown, you're pink, you're polka dot. You have covid and you're not wearing a mask. Or you don't have covid, and you're wearing 20 masks. And you want to carry a gun. I'm totally fine with that. Now, if you get a bunch of people. And, again, I don't care what color they are. Marching down my neighborhood, with large guns. Yeah. I am going to call the police because that's unusual.
What are you doing? We're just marching with our guns. Why in my neighborhood at night?
None of your business. Does Kavanaugh live around here? See, there's a difference. There's a difference. Right-wingers can freak out about nullification or packing or whatever.
No one cares. You broke all the norms of decency, democracy, and fairness. Oh, my gosh. Oh, wait. Wait.
This is from David Atkins. He has a great solution. At the end of the day, California and New York are not going to let Wyoming and Idaho tell us how we have to live in a Mad Max gun climate hell.
Oh, my gosh. David, let's break some bread, baby. Let's come together. Yeah. All right. Let me do my best Marianne Williamson.
Yeah. Yeah. Because we can come together. What you just said is the point of the Tenth Amendment. California and New York, I don't want to live like them.
You don't want to live like us. So let's not. Let's not. However, there are ten big things. And I've heard they've added to these. But there are ten big things, that no government in the United States of America, can do. Now, you want to change that, let's change it. Because what's so crazy, is there's this thing called the amendment process. You want to change the Constitution, you don't -- what -- all norms of decency. Democracy and fairness. You don't break those.
You want to change those amendments. You can do it. All you have to do is go through the amendment process. And then if you say, everybody has to have a pig on their lap. You get the states to vote for that. Put it on the amendment. You have it. Now, probably there would be another amendment that comes later. That says, hey, the big in the lap thing is really, really, stupid, and I think America lost its mind temporarily. So we're going to scratch that one out. From here on out, no. Absolute must have a pig on your lap kind of loss. Okay?
But both of those would be done through the amendment process. That would be doing it the decent way, the fair way, and the Democratic way. But David, you are cute. When you think, you're cute. Tristan Schnell writes in, when American service members die oversees, their caskets are brought to Dover Air Force base to be displayed and mourned. No, they're not displayed. I don't know if you've noticed this. But we try not to display the dead. But when Americans die because of gun violence, their caskets should be brought to the steps of the Supreme Court. So the justices can see what they've done. Yeah.
Tristan, I like that. Why don't we take every baby that's been aborted, and put them in a bucket. I mean, we're going to need a big bucket. Because there's millions of those.
And let's dump them, on the front steps of the Supreme Court. So they can see what they've done. Wow!
I got to thank all the blue checkmarks. Because you've really turned me around.

Why the Fed’s ‘MATH PROBLEM’ may result in MORE inflation

Yes, it’s possible for our economy to suffer from extremely high inflation while certain goods, products, and services experience DEFLATION as well, Carol Roth — a financial expert and author of ‘The War On Small Business’ — tells Glenn. The Fed actually is TRYING to deflate the economy, Roth explains. But while they’re saying one thing, the Fed’s current policy shows the exact opposite. And that ‘math problem,’ Roth says, is what could cause our economy to experience even more, ‘prolonged’ inflation. It’s a ‘dire situation,’ and there seems to be ZERO leadership willing to fix it…

GLENN: Is it not possible to have super high inflation, on some products. And super low deflation. Prices that are -- that are crazy.

Because they -- nobody is buying them, in other categories. Is that possible to have both of those?

CAROL: Yeah. I think that the best analogy for that would be kind of the '70s. And something that looks for stagflation. Where the economy stagnates. And it stagnates, like you said, because all the money has been sucked up in a couple of categories. And there really is a lot to go around in other places. There's not a lot of investments being made, and what not. But we still end up having high inflation. And we are certainly, a lot of people feel like we're in that sort of stagflation, you know, arena, right now. And it can continue on the trajectory. But you have to remember in terms of deflation. I mean, that's what the Federal Reserve is trying to do. They are actively trying to deflate, you know, not just the bubbles and assets, but they're trying to deflate spending, to cool off the economy. That's why they're shutting off their balance sheets. That's why they're raising their interest rates. It's meant to cool off demand. And that's the math problem that I keep talking about. They keep saying, oh, the consumer. And businesses are going to save us from a recession. But at the same time, the policy is meant to do the exact opposite. The policy is meant to make it, so that people aren't able to spend in the same way. So those two objectives are at odds with each other. And so I do think, that we could end up in this prolonged period, like you said, where the inflation hasn't quite gotten under control. Especially since we have so many supply demand imbalances in our economy. We have a labor imbalance. We have a food imbalance. We have an energy imbalance. And we have a commodity imbalance. And that's not going to it be solved by any monetary policy. That requires real action. And we don't have leadership, that's willing to lead or frankly do anything.

GLENN: So we have -- as I see it, we're looking at a situation. Again, I'm going back. And please, correct me where my thinking is off. But I'm going back to the Great Depression. So people were afraid. They held on to their money. They spent what they had to, and what they could afford. But nothing else.

That caused the labor market to shoot out of control. To -- to about 25 percent unemployment. Because the factories were closing down. Because no one was buying anything, from the factories. Which then, in turn, made FDR say, we're going to build the Hoover damn, to give people jobs. But it was all the government money, which would have just caused more inflation, if I'm not mistaken. Had it not been for the -- and I hate to say it this way. But the saving grace of the Second World War. Right? Were we in a death spiral? I mean, the war was definitely a different kind of reset. And I think a lot of the logic that you're talking about makes sense. If consumer sentiment is really important. And it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, if people don't feel confident, they don't go out and spend. They're worried about their inflation. And being able to feed their family. And get to work. They aren't going to spend -- I think there are a couple of things that we have that are different. And it's not necessarily better for the average American. So I just want to be clear. That I'm on your side, and I'm not saying that it's better.

But because of this huge supply and demand imbalance. We have two jobs available for every person looking. The likelihood is that that probably contracts to be, you know, a better match, than having massive unemployment just because of that scenario is going on. And we also have a whole slew of Americans, who are doing -- you know, have done very well. They have been the beneficiaries of this giant wealth transfer from Main Street to Wall Street. So I think we're going to have a lot of, you know, different outcomes. You know, that inadequately, that's been driven by government policy. And that's never a good thing. Because, you know, the social unrest that comes with it. And rightfully so. Because, you know, these policies have really put the middle class. The working class. And in some cases, the lower class, at risk, to the benefit of the people on the inside. And so the numbers on average, may not show how dire the situation is. And so they'll be able to spend. And say, oh, everything is great. And the consumer is doing well, when people are really struggling. And, you know, that's going to be when we continue to just be furious. And, you know, demand something be done about that.

GLENN: Carol, thank you so much for everything that you do.
