  2. Crime and Corruption is a global issue too. But…we were safer with Trump, and we are in danger of being nuked and our children being poisoned by fentanyl under Biden.

  3. It is a global thing, but as congresswoman, you get judged for inflation here

  4. GOP voters don't read international news… its like playing music to sheep and cows…

  5. Thank you! I've been saying this. People should pay attention first and stop putting blame on our president just because he's a Democrat!

  6. Most people don’t realize that inflation is actually a good thing because it motivates people to work harder (e.g., Many people have to work an additional job just to cover the cost of living, etc.) It’s arguably better than the methods our forefathers utilized to put people to work (i.e., whips, chains, and shackles) ⛓

  7. It was a Biden caused problem here. The rest of the world always has inflation.

  8. Well listen the Democratics are in charge so they own the mess. See you in November

  9. many countries around the world have lower inflation than the USA, as well as many countries have higher inflation….

  10. Republican are complaining about high prices economy. Gas , Food are not only this country problem it is a world wide problem. Republicans want to keep the rich richer and Biden want to help the working class and they are complaining about that. Thru Trumps presidency, his rich friends are the ones that did not have to worry about loss of jobs and food, places to live because Trump took care of his rich friends and these MAGA republicans are taking care of him because they want him back in office so we can suffer yet again and they get the big tax brakes , and we suffer .

  11. I can't believe anyone thinks the Republicans will fix the economy when they have no plans on how to do it and have said outright they want to create chaos to use against Biden, fixing the economy would make Biden more popular.

  12. Republicans used to say covid was democratic hoax

  13. Inflation is a global issue. America needs to look beyond America, and realise there are other countries that exist and are facing the same problems.

  14. Democrats are worthless

  15. Despite the financial instability all over the world, I’m so excited I’ve been earning $45,000 from my $10,000 investment every 10days…

  16. Finally someone telling the truth, this is global.

  17. I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire$23,000 every 12 days of my investment.,.

  18. Just distracted by the burning 🔥 thanks for reminding me aboot greenhouse gas, liquid natural gas, methane, carbon dioxide and something once talked about, global warming.

  19. So stupid….so stupid.

  20. Democratic senator and leaders are not for American people

  21. That's right. There's crime.

  22. A weird response when she was asked if she would be happy if Biden came to NV. Is she a Republican?

  23. YASSSS!!! PLEASE STAY ON THAT SUBJECT, IT'S NOT ONLY IN U.S., IT'S THE WHOLE WORLD ISSUES. MAKE IT MAINSTREAM ON THE DEMS NARRATIVE.

  24. I hope Ms Lee is out there helping Catherine Cortez Masto. She has a great message and a sharp mind. She is so right. The GOP doesn't have a plan for the nation. Their only plan is to attack President Biden.

  25. Democrats and NBC are both disgusting pathetic Liars.

  26. I'm an American in Netherlands – the US should shut up about gas prices – nearly everyone else pays much more!
    Nearly $8 a gal here….
    Too bad so few Americans travel to other nations and see other cultures.

  27. wtf stupid stupid questions

  28. it's not US only, but we pay tax to US politician to fix US. wtf you're doing for us?

  29. There is gonna be a blue wave im sure 😂

  30. Well an actual fact if you look at history Russia only attacks when oil prices peak. So, the Democrats stopping fracking and other oil exploration in the United States made it possible for Russia to invade Ukraine. The Democrats limiting the oil increased oil prices throughout the world. It all falls on the shoulders of one man Joe Biden with a executive order. The Democrats should lose thus blocking Joe Biden from hurting the rest of the world and the United States. Winter is coming and it's going to be harsh for most of the world.

  31. 🌊🌊🌊 WAVE 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 WAVE 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 WAVE 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 WAVE 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

  32. INFLATION IS AKA CORPORATE GREED!!!

  33. AMERICA created inflation around the world

  34. Why does the GOP take credit, over + over, for Democratic bills bringing funding for needed projects to their individual states & districts.
    The media AMPLIFIES Republican Party talking points, again & again. Corporate media– the mega-corp owners of media– love the huge tax handout the GOP gave them They contribute zero to America while pocketing billions of American dollars in profit.
    The U.S. has a lower inflation rate than comparable nations. So, what's that due to? Republican NO votes, on every single measure?

  35. EXACTLY! anyone who believes the US is exclusively facing Any critical issue today is Willfully misinformed. try getting reliable, factual news from Reuters, NPR, PBS or any Reputable foreign news media (NOT Sky and its ilk) and Wake Up! we're actually doing better than many 1st world nations and the developing and/or war or climate ravaged countries are in desperation. if the GOP has its way, any advantage we have will be destroyed by their self-serving, self-dealing policies.

  36. Anyonef with half a brain can see that drumpf tanked us in two ways. 1) His criminal negligence in his covid response. We had to be locked down a lot longer than we could have been (and the million+ dead Americans). 2) drumpf threatended to pull us out of NATO. Which gave the green light to Putin's invasion. Just look at the timing of the invasion, one month after the swearing in ceremony. Putin thought drumpf was going to get elected, and scheduled his invation right after.

    Unfortunately, maga-morons don't have 'half a brain'… and will vote for traitors in the republican party…

  37. Unless you think more manufactured culture wars and tax cuts for the rich will fix the economic & inflation issues we are seeing worldwide, I wouldn't vote Red.

  38. Gas prices have the most impact on inflation. 84% of our energy use is fossil fuel. You can’t just shut down pipelines and stop clean fracking. Now we have to ship oil and gas from other countries which is not good for the climate and they use the money to terrorize, make war with other countries. (War pollution is worse than using a gas vehicle) Everything you buy was not made at the store. It has to be shipped by vehicles that use diesel. If it was made in another country, it was shipped by tanker to a port, then to a train, then to a diesel truck to a distribution center, then to a another truck to a local store. At this point, you either pick it up or another person delivers your one or two items to your door. Now think about lumber for building houses… It has to go through the same process… so the cost just went up for Real Estate because you can’t afford to build… now there is a housing shortage and you let 2 million people in the country who don’t have jobs or a place to live… so you tax American citizens who can’t afford to live with the current inflation. Gas prices don’t just affect your daily commute. They are the bloodline of America.
