Anything being broadcast from the Charlie Kirk show is pure propaganda. All the panelists and participants know what the agenda is, trump / MAGA propaganda. What idiots are watching this bullshit?

Maybe the alternatives would be there had the gop not tried to block the every step of the way while continuing to subsidize the fossil fuel economy

George Washington was tough on the oil industry too. And look at what he did to airports (according to Trump). Those damn presidents are super harmful after they leave office.

The #TrumpRegime may not be able to find actually-competent people to fill the Cabinet and other Administration posts. But they ARE pretty good at getting bullshit-artists to work for them.

They never fail to AMAZE. Their ability to lie, with a straight face, is impressive. Even when the lie is stupid, they still act normal.

The president just stated high fuel prices are the price we have to pay to get rid of Iran's nukes. So clearly the Iran war is the problem unless our president is lying or stupid or a dumbass or all the above.

Oh, Chris must have forgotten that Trump was in office between Obama and Biden. Why didn't he fix these chronic problems in his first term? Hint; he spent all of his time bragging at rallies and golfing instead of working.

The average price of gas under Barack Obama (two terms) was $2.79 to $3.12 per gallon. Under Donald Trump, it's been between $3.10 and $4.79 per gallon (and higher) during the 2025-2026 time frame. Chris Wright is an idiot.

I can’t even listen to these voices of the dumb words of these awful cabinet members. This has to be the worst group of cabinet members in history. Their dumb words deserve to have 2 B’s at the end of the word DUMB, or maybe a T to signify how dumb they are under MAGA Trump by spelling it DUMBT.

Why the fuck are surprised by this? Why is that you Democrat pearl clutchers can't figure out that these fuckers will say and do whatever they can to deflect. They make shit up b/c they're reptiles. Instead of these USELESS gotcha moments, why aren't you talking about what needs to be done?

I always found it kind of odd that the North Dakota oil boom took place on Obama's watch. I'm not saying he deserves credit. Fracking technology preceded him. But he didn't "regulate it out of existence" as rightwingers might imagine or really say much about it at all.

god forbid they should take responsibility for anything. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they are not blaming George Washington too

To be fair, Obama put a target on Iran for Trump by making a functioning deal to prevent them from getting nukes. So if you really think about it, Obama started some of these dominoes.

People understandably want answers when fuel prices rise, because those changes directly affect everyday life. But energy markets are complicated, and meaningful discussions should focus on facts, long-term policies, and practical solutions rather than only assigning blame.

I mean, *this* time some blame can certainly be assigned. It just isn't where the people in power would like it to be.

People deserve honest answers when prices go up. It’s fair to ask who made decisions that contributed to the problem, but the goal should be finding the truth and solutions, not simply assigning blame to fit a political narrative.

So, Chris “Inappropriately Named” Wright.. ..even if Obama’s policies created this ‘stranglehold’ on the industry.. Idiot Trump has been in power for over 600 days..plenty of time to reverse these rules, as he’s done with everything else.. And why was gas, now $4.36/gal..$2.80/gal in Jan..Obama?

Why is our transportation secretary on a pod cast dedicated to a dead bigot and overall scum bag? I think they like to gloss over that the only reason our economy was doing well in 2017-18 was because of Dem policies. Otherwise they'd have to acknowledge that they were wrong for the last 50yrs.
