They're not in power to make things better. They're in power to give themselves more power.
This is what happens when our govt incentivized and rewarded companies for leaving for slave labor and tax breaks.
Everyone was all ready to "support Ukraine" and stop imports, well this is the result. Hell even Biden said at the time prices will go up.
Saagar, how are "tariffs on China" not just taxes on American consumers? Those prices pass through to us. Chinese goods are the most cost effective option for the American poor and working class to buy. Don't you think those tariffs will be added to the cost of our goods? So, who do your tariffs really punish? You want Americans to have better options, so you worsen the option they always choose? Please help me understand this. [ without just ignoring my points ] Thanks.
I quit MSM years ago, but boy oh boy YouTube is giving me heartache with facts and truth.
PLUS they say limit travel BUT they telling folks to go back to work/office. WTF.
I love it when Saagar's rants. Its clarifying to see how inept the current administration. All the media journalists are trained in the same schools and come from the same socio-economic class. I really would like to see journalists from Des Moines or Kingsport TN instead of the same old guard. Democrat administrations (Republicans to some degree) want soft answers and narratives that correspond to their policy. Access is the key to sell out. I really want confrontational journalists all the time Democratic and Republican.
Libertarians: just let the private sector and the invisible hand of the market figure it out
When Saagar defends the president against the media, it really tells you something LOL
Yup, garbage collectors, police, firefighters, nurses, doctors WORK FROM HOME!
BLAMES AMERICANS
What the fuck kind of question is that journalist asking? Like we have a effing choice? Like we have public transport? Wow how ignorant.. what is the journalists name? Like that was such a stupid and arrogant question
05:36 – nice alliteration there, Saagar
Gett'em Saagar!!!
I calculated that I spend $2.40/mile (in CA at $6/gal), so even though I’m 2.5 miles from work, it costs me $12 a day just to go to work! Record oil profits and this still goes on. Had to start riding a bike! Good thing I live close, but that’s not the case for everyone.
They are not dumb questions. These are fake questions by a fake media for a fake president.
Mass tariffs is what I’ve been begging the GOP to deliver on.
8 wont completely take blame off of some Americans, i know some people who bought a giant gas guzzling truck ti daily drive a year ago, havent seen him us the bed once, then he starts bitching about gas prices, im like sorry but you are the last person i want to hear bitching
Why did the government set fire to New Mexico?
95% of the media in this country is a goddamn joke. Thanks for covering this
I dont get it….. When nobody was driving during the pandemic, gas prices STILL WENT UP!!!
Will it take the harsh feeling of a rope on their necks before they figure it out? Probably.
Only 81 million Americans fault lets go Brandon
His Administration created all these issues!
Well said, Saagar! Those reporters should've asked those questions that you spewed out! And if Biden can't answer, drop the hammer on him!
2009 gas was $4/gallon in Houston. Its not historic. Its cheaper today when accounting for inflation.
That's right…its the peoples fault for having to drive to work to earn a pay check….pay for bills and fucken taxes, put kids through school and even worst…..save money to retire because the worthless fucken government we have has squandered our Social Security.
