  1. This video is mostly propaganda. This video runs interference for the Plutocracy.

  2. I agree its vey unfortunate that threat to Democracy is being swallowed up by pocketbook issues, by how much money do I have left in my bank account.

  3. LOL
    Even Chuck is realizing the Democrats will loose in a landslide. He doesn't want to admit it yet, but he will

  4. I'll support the Republicans every day of my life. The Clinton's and Bidens are thieves, always have been. The Haitians know first hand after Hillary robbed them of the foundation she created for them. She and Biden sold us out to the Chinese and highest bidder. You cannot trust these evil narcissistic people.

  5. Some human complaining everything not in good order but they are driving big car n having big house😁

  6. This is what we get because of Biden's inflation. Wake up people. Biden has done nothing good for America.

  7. Chuck nobody cares for your podcast , your still bighead .

  8. Man can not fix it look at . the. Wars around. the. World

  9. I’ll tell the story. When you put a mentally ill person such as Herschel Walker in Congress, I question 🙋‍♀️ your authority. 🇺🇸🤓

  10. between the four people on the panel, they didn't have two brain cells to rub together. now, excuse while I go throw up from the sheer vapid stupidity.

  11. Kari Lake is crazy toxic. In a civilized country she would face a court of Justice for spreading fake news and hatred.

  12. INFLATION IS HOW REPUBLICANS CAUSE THE PEOPLE TO GIVE UP BUT THEY ARE THE ONES DOING IT ITS NOT WORKING MY GOD WILL PAY THEM BACK

  13. Correction Chuck; not 5 AM but 2 AM.

  14. Hopefully same thing happens in Arizona. The Indians don’t like republicans mostly

  15. Inflation? Who is responsible? Trump lit the fire when he slammed high tariff on imported consumer goods. His FAT appointee sat on the problem until it has gone out of control. It is a classic showing Republicans screwed up the economy and then blamed others for it.

  16. The only political news I really want to hear is how the educated whites, the uneducated whites and the illegal immigrants vote. We already know how the descendants of slaves will vote. Let's see if white ppl will still vote for the insurrectionists. #ReparationsNOW

  17. Why do republican commentators always where flannel or tweed suits?

  18. Look I hate to say this but many Americans haven’t taken a proper economics course inflation has occurred to route countries history guess what we’ve never won the battle against inflation. The only thing that has ever cured inflation in our country is a recession. People need to understand that after every period of inflation we have ever experienced a recession that was the only thing that came afterwards and they went hand in hand. Other countries developed nations have experienced inflation as well guess what came after the period of inflation a recession. Many methods have been employed to try and fight inflation but inevitably you can’t we don’t know what the cure for inflation is we do know some of the causes of inflation for instance too much money in an economy causes inflation We’ve also recently learned that in a global economy supply constraints supply chain breaks can cause inflation. Inflation is just a rapid increase in prices prices increase naturally with rising wages but when they go beyond the pale of what’s expected we give a special name inflation. We typically aim for about 2% a year inflation we’re getting much more than that now. If you really want to fight inflation you have to deal with the calls in most cases inflation was caused by too much money in the economy how do you take money out of the economy you make a persons dollar which they are normally going to spend worth less money. Guess what place and does that on the town it’s a natural cure for too much money being in the account prices rise your moneys worth less eventually it balances out. The problem is right now the reason we are experiencing inflation has nothing to do with too much money in the economy. Yes there are some who will argue during the pandemic we gave out lots of money we did and if you saw too much money in the economy you might reason that that’s the cause of our inflation here is to catch inflation is being experienced not just here but around the globe so you can’t correlate Americans having too much money with all of the inflation it’s being experienced around the world. Not some people may say I don’t care about the rest of the world I only care about here well we live in a global economy so you have to worry about what’s happening over somewhere else. A parts shortage in Taiwan could mean auto factories don’t run in Michigan. In fact I know some people that are laid off right now for two weeks because they can’t get chips micro chips not potato chips. I know people who work at a potato chip factory who are experiencing layoffs and short work week hours because people aren’t buying as much potato chips as they usually do why hours have been cut at other facilities I can’t afford potato chips now plus the price of potatoes has gone up since the price of gas has gone up. It’s a global economy and if you ever have a supply constraint it backs everything up. What happens when you don’t just have one supply constraint but you have multiple supply constraints all around the globe everything gets backed up. Fewer goods are on shelves people raise prices because they can’t sell the normal amount of goods and services they normally would well I need to make what I made last year a minimum if I own a store I have to raise the prices that’s inflation that’s where this cause of inflation came from not too much money being in the economy but supply constraints on a global level. How do you fix supply constraints on a global level guess what you can’t you literally have to wait until all the kinks work out and think about kinks working out on a supply constraint on a global level we’ve never experienced it and we know it takes time. Actually we don’t even know if it takes time we just know it could take time and we expect it will. On the bright side it means goods and services will continually flow and you won’t experience as rough a recession you may even experience a typical recession but it does mean prices will be higher and no matter what type of inflation you experience there’s nothing government can do to fight it there’s nothing government can do to stop it there’s nothing government can do to deal with the recession that occurs afterwards. What a smart government would do is help you hunker down during the inflation what a smart government would do is take care of their other economic problems since they know a recession is coming. If I know I have to go get a flu shot I might as well go get vaccinated for other things stick me in the arm multiple times so I don’t have to keep coming back. Well that’s why the government raising interest rates right now it’s something that should’ve been done 10 years ago but we never did cheap money was too good for us it should’ve never lasted as long those low interest rates now the government is correct in something they should’ve corrected years ago. Yes will say it’s for the recession and to prevent a recession but in all honesty it’s just good economic policy interest rates were too low they had to fix it. 

  19. Democrats blame the Republicans for the same thing they do themselves. They have demonized 50 percent of the country. shame on both of them

  20. Democrats do absolutely nothing about crime that’s a given

  21. You're very disturbing Chuck!

  22. Welp there it goes, well played Repubs you win this round. Stupid indecisive incumbents, sit around clutching pearls while a predictable referendum descends on your heads. Groan.

  23. The right practice criticism, shaming and making fun of ppl while cursing as tough messaging, but have yet to show a platform of what they plan to do other than just cheating to win.

  24. DON'T BE SO GULLIBLE – MAGA REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS NO PLAN WITH INFLATION. THEY'RE PLAN IS TO SPREAD DISINFORMATION AND LIES THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE GOOD AT !

  25. What's really sad? Republicans have not said one word about what they plan to do about offsetting a possible recession.
    Bidden does and he has been holding his own and still managing to help the people. GOP is nothing but lies and greed and POWER!

  26. WE CANNOT TAKE AMERICA'S DEMOCRACY FOR GRANTED !

    ALREADY VOTED STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT !

  27. Another Meet The Press without any ideas, it may as well be Getrr, Parler or Facebook iy's so dumb

  28. But you guys let the criminals out everyday

  29. How about the normal person on the street everyday and guys just want to people to talk about pelosi . People have own problems

  30. Let the people vote stop with the garbage

  31. Okay 👌👍 not a referendum. sure, it's most definitely a referendum. Two years ago best economy in history record high gdp. Now record high inflation, gas prices, crime, illegal alien's, drug overdose deaths, rent, diesel shortage, on and on.

  32. These people that don't want to support the American way of life they have no right to be in America or forefathers wouldn't put up with a b***** that were putting up with today

  33. We never do what we say and we never say or have any idea what Joe Biden and company has proposed. We must begin by placing our best professionals in these fields who truly understand money… spending effects and affects. May God bless and keep America!

  34. You won't have anything to eat, if you lose our democracy. Ignore these GQP "experts". They need to move to Putintown and sign-up for Ukraine service.

  35. Red Wave coming my Marxist/Commie/Socialist friends. No more free lunch!

  36. The Most Powerful Shadow Government in the WORlD is Big OIL !

  37. Why do they bring up no college degree? I know plenty of people with college degrees, that have no common sense.

  38. Joe Biden looks and talks like a walking corpse. That would also be Zombie.

  39. MAGA WHITE REVOLUTIONARIES 👎
    ITS A CULT, NOT A POLITICAL PARTY

  40. Any bet's on how many challenges the Democrats will make to the results in seats that they loose?

  41. I don't understand how interest rates have to keep going up, According to Biden the economy is doing better than it has in 40 years. We should be lowering interest rates unless Biden is just Lying to us.

  42. One problem is it takes TIME to undo all the damage done by the tRump & friends. Biden is not God & doesn’t have a magic wand like tRump. Give him some time.
