This interview is nothing but gaslighting crazy talk from an insufferable ideologue who is responsible for managing the insane policy driven consequences of transitioning from oil, gas and coal into an era where windmills and solar panels provide U.S. electricity. Janet Yellen is the decline manager.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen begins the interview by denying the U.S. economy is shrinking. Literally in the first answer Yellen says the economy “has been growing at a very rapid rate as the labor rate has reached full employment, it’s natural now that we expect a transition to steady and stable growth.” Obviously, in order to say the economy has been growing, Yellen needs to pretend not to know the first quarter GDP was -1.5% as measured. But wait… it gets more ridiculous….
At 06:30 of the interview, Yellen claims with a straight face that U.S. energy policy, which includes massive amounts of new crushing regulations from Biden, is not responsible for U.S. oil and gasoline prices. WATCH (prompted):
These people must really think we are that stupid.
It is not so much about that as that as it is about their confidence in being able to continue to rig elections.
When ‘they’, the dems, win the next election(s) despite the economy and people’s lives and standard of living going straight down the crapper, they can then say “See, we told you that everything was going great which is exactly why FJB was re-elected.”
My neighbors and coworkers that voted for the Delaware Doofus are.
The target audience is that stupid.
…and many of them vote.
…vote, procreate and drive…
She’s way too stupid to realize our impression of her is closer to moron than stupid. I doubt if she could hold any job other than as a Democratic hack.
Gaslighting, the new normal !!!!🤔
What else do they have? Nothing!
Between this clown and the one from the Cleveland Fed – is there any one of us who believes the economy is going anywhere but down – and hard?
Every time I hear about a coming recession, they make it sound like its a walk in the park – something coming up – that may last a year to 18 months.
We’ll know the Biden recession is in full swing when the despair is palpable on the evening news.
“Yellen on abc”…. IMESHO that is a classical example of waste of time and electrons.
Hard to believe she used to be our Fed Chair. In this interview, her qualifications look thin, her rationale is disconnected from reality and she looks terrified and incompetent.
Not the most intelligent or confident messenger they could have sent out there to speak to the public during a time of real crisis.
Mnuchin, as Trump’s Treasurer, was competent as hell and a terrific public speaker who exuded confidence and made us feel like someone with brains and superb executive skills was in charge. And he was in spades.
She’s there for the same reason Buraq picked Biden for VP.
Total incompetence / incontinence and corrupt.
I’m holding with the incontinent part of your comment. My Mother had dementia. She at least admitted it to her children .
Mnuchin fought MAGA like most of Trump’s appointees.
some still refuse to accept, stubbornly, that the entire administration and the actions that preceded it as not part of a larger conspiracy.
and to them I say:
still not convinced?
stay tuned, your world is about to go sideways.
THEN I suppose your attention will be alert to the reality you refused to accept.
it’s a coordinated effort to end the only part of America that makes any sense: to remove the power from the people and fully invest that power into a central state…a corrupt central state.
Every single factor, every circumstance, ever opportunity, and those crisis manufactured have been created, used and manipulated to push the citizens of this country to a breaking point where they will eventually PLEAD that the US Gov’t bail them out and do what ever it takes to smooth things out.
that has always been the coordination…
the hellish reality is that these small powerful groups who control the US Gov have zero interest in “smoothing things out”.
they really want you dead and buried….if not physically, then economically, culturally, religiously, morally..
they want you defeated…that’s the plan.
they KNOW BETTER..that’s the MO of these lawless corrupt embeciles.
They will never EVER steer away from this course. They mean to rule the world with might and power.
We are in stage 4…transfer of power.
it can go either way.
what say you America?
Secret Societies X The Treaty Of Verona = The plan of the crowns of old europe to re-take America.
monroe doctrine
The CNN resident Communist ( or should I say one of the resident Communist) Van Jones called for this strategy years ago when the Kenyan Maoist was the pResident. He called it the Top down, Bottom up, Inside out strategy which is just as you described.
7 dollars a gallon for diesel here in north California. Everything in every kind of store arrives by diesel.
What universe do you have to live in to not understand this?
She isn’t even remotely aware of this…..nor could care less.
Yellen is nothing but a crazed bag lady like the one living under a bridge in Central Park!
Ditto!
In a universe where our current crop of 18-25 year olds were not taught reading, writing, and arithmetic. Rather, they were taught- he’s special, she’s special, they are special, them too…it matters who is special as deemed by the talking heads. That is what they were taught.
And, thus, we live in a universe where a large swathe of people really don’t understand this. They believe you hit go to check out, you hit the order button and poof- it finds its way to your door. Nothing more, nothing less. Just talk to one of these people….they are the useful idiot. And there are millions of them. Millions.
Biden put his Elementary school Librarian as the head of the economy. This Cat Lady needs to learn what a run-on sentence is. Smashing sentences together and delivering incoherent economic thoughts and feelings with a crackling NY accent only makes the flyover country more suspicious and nervous. I bet she is a hoarder and her NY apartment is stacked full of old NY Times dating back to the 50’s and empty cat food cans. At least she waxed her chin and moustache for today’s TV interview with that phony Clinton apologist.
I bet you are 100% correct about this Bolshevik Troll!
Some of us know they are lying. They know we know that they are lying. We know that they know that we know they are lying. But they lie anyway, thinking that we are stupid and worthless cogs.
These people never give up and are never embarrassed no matter how foolish you make them look time and time again!
Grandma needs to retire.
She’s 75. The country needs younger and better leaders.
she is full on idiot. of course it’s the only reason for the hike!
Idealogs are usually idiots!
some might imagine there is some kind of out of control robot (skynet) that is control. None of these people make any sense anymore. There is nothing they say that does make sense. And each of them have that fear factor associated with their behaviors. They KNOW they are not telling the truth. This of course fuels many conspiracy theories that some rogue AI sentient robot has decided to leave the reservation and these people just cannot find a way to shut it down.
it’s a useful conspiracy, because it holds a deeper truth:
there is no coordinated intelligence with these people. They have simply stopped caring and don’t give a damned anymore.
There is no giant skynet deciding the fate of humanity. It’s just corrupt people who are inept and unmotivated to change direction because it acknowledges huge mistakes were made and the consequences of those mistakes have names assigned to them!
remember that…there are SPECIFIC PEOPLE IN THE USG WHO ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NIGHTMARE.
not robots…not skynet…not some algorithm.
these are shameless dishonorable corrupt embeciles who should be IN PRISON FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM THEIR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
“artificial intelligence”…each and every single one of them.
God Bless America
Not just coal but filthy lignite.
Thread: The Biden administration’s foreign policy posture post-Ukraine is completely at odds with its energy policy.
It positions Russia to produce a greater share of the world’s oil & gas, reaping both financial benefits and geopolitical leverage over the US & Europe long-term.
Yellen, do you want us to believe what we observe with our eyes or must we believe your convoluted reasoning?
And yet again, another tubby, ancient, swampy gasbag who has been leaking gas from her personal gas portal for YEARS! The stench of her obfuscation and lies is noxious.
Gas ⛽️ 😷 mask —
puh leeze !!
In Yellen’s case….. The lights are but no one is home.
She is a 76 yr old incompetent entitled boomer. The only thing I enjoyed about watching some of this clip was that she looks scared. That is satisfying. When will an R call for her firing??
Eyes darting back and forth. Couldn’t tell if the questions were pre-planned and she was reading her response, or if she had a serious vision impairment. Or scared as hell.
She sure looked like she didn’t want to be there.
She looks scared because what we didn’t see was that behind the scenes she was given her script. She read it. She laughed and told the handlers- oh, hell no, I cant’ say this crap. This crap is too transparent….this is ridiculous. The people will see right through this garbage (because she may be a leftist hack but she’s not stupid, she’s just not)….
The handlers laughed a good laugh. Pulled out the gun, put it to her head and said- you will read the BS. And, yes, the people will see right through it….that’s why you are reading it. You are disposable. Just like the people. Now go read.
All our rulers are way over the hill.
Their minds are gone. That’s not to say we don’t have robust, clear thinking American leaders anymore. We certainly do and many are on this site. Too bad President Trump has been sidelined for a bit.
Why would the former federal reserve chairman be secretary of the treasury if the fed is a privately owned bank. Is that not a conflict of interest? Why does the government allow a private bank to issue our money and control monetary policy? Where does all of that money taken out of my check for federal income tax go??Does anyone know who owns the federal reserve and how to find out? Because Elon is not truly the richest man in the world it’s whoever owns the federal reserve bank.
Federal Reserve Act passed by Woodrow Wilson in 1913.
Read the book “The Creature from Jekyll Island” about the history of the Federal Reserve. It is a totally corrupt organization that is helping to bankrupt the country.
Who owns the Fed? A group of banks that are owned by the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and three or four of the world’s richest families.
The Fed is not part of the U.S. Government. The Federal Reserve Act permitting this was passed late at night during Christmas 1913. Reportedly, Woodrow Wilson permitted it but later regretted that.
Every day the regime and media further lose credibility but deniers remain. The question is how much damage will occur before those with cognitive dissonance take the red-pill rectally and finally say no more too?
Yellen’s $7.2M in speaking fees. She doesn’t work for you.

Make Bastille Day great again!!
And like Bill Barr, the last act in the public life of many of these people will be to repeatedly lie to the American public . They will go out of office as liars, knowing that they are liars. Then they will tell lies to and among themselves that they are not liars. So they would destroy their public and personal integrity and compromise a lifetime of work and service for what?
It’s not her fault.
Putin did it.
Three CTH articles today on crazy BS from government and aligned media figures.
Are they spinning more nonsense to add to the nonstop noise drawing attention, while the shot program continues mostly ignored?

Resign Janet. In a couple of weeks you’ll be crying “I didn’t know.”
Boris Johnson lookin rough these days
I think she was blinking “sos” and “torture”.
What a maroon!
And there she goes with the “it’s a short-term matter” again until we have green-energy solutions.
THAT is the BIG LIE if there ever was one!!
The great Tom Sowell, and Friedrich Hayek before him, warned against the Fatal Conceit.
The silly egotism of the liberal that if you put a few really smart people together in a room they can solve all our problems.
This fantasy has been intensely held by Democrats, from FDR to Hillary. Obama’s plan for fighting unemployment was to assemble a few smart Democrats, and let them brainstorm to a solution. Hillary, in 2016, triumphantly advocated for the very same thing.
Frankly, this is fascism, the conceit that a few superior people (the ubermensch?) need to be given control.
Janet Yellen, I guarantee you, does not have an egalitarian bone in her body. The libertarian notion that the best thing Janet can do, for you or the country, is to butt out? Like Hillary, Janet is certain that bossing us around is the only moral choice she can make.
Recycling people who still can’t make the trains run on time.
People are becoming mentally exhausted by all the BS gymnastics of this administration.
Why is everyone talking about refineries all of a sudden?
How long after everyone else knew inflation was a problem before she realized it?
Treasury Secretary Yellen is not a very good liar. Good liars are believed, at least for a little while, Yellen fools no one.
The swamp is deep and turds like this are everywhere.
Aunt Clara
It’s like being raped and told to enjoy it!
Yellen is not a very bright person. She’s just like Chuck F.
Exploring all options…concern about higher prices…working on it. Meandering mush.
To add insult to injury, giving China a pass and planning to lower tariffs on their goods is national suicide. Anything she can do to blame President Trump, puts a weird little smirk on her face.
All I needed was to see this women’s hideous face accompanied by the ABC logo, and I immediately knew everything that would be said were all lies. And I’d rather listen to paint dry than listen to her droll on.
