In a segment intended to protect the Biden regime from the outcome of their energy policies, the latest distraction is to claim gas prices are not high when “adjusted” to account for the inflation that Joe Biden has created.
Due to the scale of impact from Biden energy policy there is no real way to obfuscate at a level that hides reality. However, Chuck Todd from NBC gives it a try.
.
Comrades, if you can fill up your car with 2010 gas prices, paid for with 2010 wages…. Then surely you can fill up your pantry with 2010 food prices… while living in your house with 2010 mortgage or rent prices…. or something.
The laughable segment is below.
It’s amazing how high inflation and gas prices are under Democrats… Great graph, Chuck. All you did was show Trump did a better job at everything.
Not to mention the open contempt Democrats have demonstrated toward fossil fuel for the past 50 years, maybe longer. The modern ‘WE HATE OIL’ crowd rose to prominence as Universities became radicalized in the mid-to-late 1960s.
For Leftists to pretend this has nothing to do with their unbridled desire to eliminate petroleum in the west is absurd. The lack of reliable, inexpensive fuel has a crippling effect in the most impoverished parts of the world, as well as European countries feeling forced to capitulate to Russia just so they don’t freeze to death.
It is undeniable that our freedom and standard of living rely on the production of petroleum products.
Anti fossil fuel zealots are largely responsible for the 2008 peak. For decades prior to 2008, they contributed to permanent closures of oil refineries. They impeded constructing new refineries and expanding existing refineries. They alos impeded development of fossil fuel resources.
Who’s stupid enough to listen to that phoney! And he thinks so much of himself… jumping up and down like an excited high school student! What has become of US TV is incredible. And they pay these babling idiots millions.
Sorry to say, but US (and all other countries) TV has been horrible from the start when they realized they could PROGRAM the populous much like they did with radio and print for the masses.
I stopped watching decades ago and am disgusted by the easily seen open and transparent bias and programming of ideologies from the 70’s shows I once enjoyed.
It’s only gotten worse as they took over school (Dept of Education signed by Carter in 1979) and spread their toxic ideological indoctrination.
Yep, I’m re-watching ‘Network’ today to remind myself the craziness we lived through in the 60’s and 70’s. Talk about propaganda and theater.
All I know is one hour of labor back in the late 70’s as an apprentice carpenter bought me, before income taxes, about 20 gallons of diesel. That was at the tail end of the gas crisis and during Carter inflation. How many blue collar grunts make that kind of wage to fuel ratio today?
‘Network‘ is out there to be watched or downloaded; great movie. Very appropriate for today’s times.
Open your window and yell . . . .
“I’m mad as he!! and I’m NOT going to take it any more!”

I’d like to most respectfully say it really isn’t about pretending not to know things. It’s the puppet reading a script who’s as stupid as the audience the puppet masters are trying to fool.
That may be true. But, I think Sundance is saying he believes the puppet reading the script knows it’s the wrong script.
Some of the puppets know everything is wrong but don’t have the courage to stand up against it.
The movie “Network” was mentioned above. Many of these corrupt idiots in the media may not be as stupid as we might think.
They just don’t yet have the fortitude to say….”I’m mad as hell………………”
at the end of the day, at every level and sector, singular self-interest and preservation rule the roost.
these are not coincidences. not mistakes.
these are intentional actions.
when you catalog the number of massive “failures” and there are many, they ALL have one thing in common…these are basic avoidable mistakes. And easily fixed..
this administration is not failing at anything…they are committed to do these things or to ignore them because they are corrupt.
one needs to understand that corruption and weakness go hand in hand. But if I am not corrupt I can fix mistakes and overcome problems that come up. If I am corrupt, the apparent weakness (or failures) are a feature, not a bug.
these corrupt PEOPLE have failed to address the problems, many of which they themselves have created.
this is not coincidental. it is the NATURE of the corrupt to be lazy, indifferent, and place more stock in manipulation than in action to fix things.
fixing things requires discipline, a good moral grounding, coordination of like minded loyal hard working and smart and effective teams.
Corrupt people are only good at one thing: the art of deception.
these are no coincidences…these are not failures.
this is institutional corruption now on display at the global level, and it isn’t taking any advice or suggestions from anyone who is not also corrupt and complicit.
this is mordor…one does not simply walk into mordor..for the corrupt and weak, mordor is home.
these people will burn the world if we let them.
we should not allow this administration any more opportunities to burn the world.
because that’s the path…and so far, unchallenged.
we are at war
God Bless America
I wonder how the MSM lapdogs are going to spin the French election results. Le Pen’s National Rally party “Rassemblement national” appear to have won 89 seats.
They had 8 during the last National Assembly
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/stunning-blow-macron-loses-absolute-majority-far-right-left-surge
Remember, in Canada, vote Maverick or PPC.
The one thing that could derail the Davos/WEF stooges of Satan, is a United Union of Independent Christian Nations.
Absolutley envy the French their fair and honest elections. Wish we had them here in the US as well.
This probably sounded plausible to F Chuck Todd and his staff during show planning…
I get it! It’s like when the pollsters sample is 59% democrat and 41% republican, and they report that Biden is beating Trump by 6 points.
So as long as the price of real things produced from energy follows the price of energy we don’t have inflation?
One of my favorite scenes of all time. Thank you.
Mine as well. You are so welcome!
Off topic…If true what I read it was interesting to read Charles Durning was a WWII Vet who was one of only a few to survive the Normandy Landing in his group; he fought in the Battle of the Bulge; he was one of the few taken prisoner & who survived the Malmady massacre and he fought hand-to-hand without a weapon in a fight to the death with an child Nazi soldier.
If true amazing.
And one hell of an actor!!! Just loved him.
I’m pretty sure food and energy are not included in inflation figures.
removed in the ’80s… for a more “accurate” reflection of real prices.
Next week on NBC news – Hot dogs… were they really cheaper in 1996?
Jen Pissacki already said in a press conference last year on July 2, 2021, that hotdogs were 16 cent cheaper under Biden. The question should be were hotdogs really 16 cents cheaper in July 2021? 🤣
Because in July 2020 we were in the middle of the greatest realignment of the commercial food and retail food supply chains ever. Yes, food was down on 2021 because food at home was more scarce in 2020.
I thought it was the ketchup and mustard that was cheaper. Or the buns. Or was it the napkins? It definitely wasn’t the gas to get back home with the groceries.
Constantly amazed at how much time is spent in the USA on distractions and issues that do not matter. If you think about it, what our Polticians think should be very IMPORTANT. They hold office and wield power. And our national conversation should be about important issues and what they say or do. Instead, the MSM is constantly bombarding us with propaganda and THEIR opinions. And discussing manufacted events like “Charlottsville” or “George Floyd” or “Jan 6th” or “Trayvon Martin”. None of these were important to the 300 million Americans, but the MSM makes them the most important topic we all need to talk about.
When the MSM does talk about something important to avarage Americans, like Gas prices, all we get is DNC propaganda. Zero interest in explaining why gas prices are high, how they can be lowered, and what the people who wield REAL POWER are doing about it. Instead, its just “How can we help Biden and the Democats”?
Our politicians do not think. Evidenced in fact, by the United States Congress.
Politicians are paid to bloviate via the media, not think.
The Rich people who OWN MSNBC and NBC decide to put certain people in front of the camera and they give them a script. Why should I care what Chuck Todd thinks? Was he elected to anything? He’s just the Meat Puppet the News execs at NBC decided to speak THEIR views.
The sad thing is lots of “Normies” dont understand this. They think Chuck Todd is some super-smart dude talking about SERIOUS ISSUES. If they tune in, they congradulate themselves for being smart and good citizens for watching MTP or reading the NYT or WaPo.
Most “normies” aren’t watching the news period. Have you seen their ratings?
I’m in CO listening to the racism of high temps in the inner city. It’s good to know your enemy. Happy dads day ya’all!
Thanks BW same to you! “Hot time, summer in the city…” (Or is it hot town?)
Apologist Chuck Mcfly , back to the future fantasy BS complete with infograhpics ,how could he keep a straight face.
Botox injections
Or he believes his own bullshit.
How is it even remotely possible that there are still people who haven’t figured out that the media is lying to them on a daily basis? They don’t even try to hide it anymore.
Gaslight fail Chuckie.
Sorry, but this crap is getting old. One after another, all we hear is BS while Rome is burning. I’m loving the Babylon Bee more and more. At least I can laugh at all this BS.
I can’t fathom this idiot actually believes the crap that’s flying out his mouth.
He doesn’t. He’s running cover like the dutiful little twat that he is. His wife is a democrat fundraiser.
ha!
So I’m supposed to feel better that my gasoline costs are effectively lower under President Biden than they were under President Obama? How does that make sense, except, I guess that I can’t re-elect President Obama again.
No need. The Obammunist is already running the clown show from safely behind his favorite curtain.
From the graph, in 2019 under Trump, gas was $1 /gallon in 2010 dollars, but in 2022 gas is $3.51 under Biden in 2022 dollars.
Just visually checking Chuck Todd’s graph, Biden has raised gas prices 351% since 2019.
However that may be, I’m buying gas today in 2022 dollars, and it costs $4.68 / gallon.
Mr. Todd seems to be suffering from Rectal-Cranial Inversion.
. . . it must be me, BUT Chuck Todd looks odd . . . !!!
Hey, Sleepy Eyes… the national average is gonna blow the Argyle Socks off of those pedicured feet of yours when we get there… we’re not even close yet, son…
And here in N.CA … my PG&E rates have more than DOUBLED from 2010 rates … and so has my water bill … and so has my Trash bill. All the FUNDAMENTAL costs of living have EXPLODED. Funny thing … I received a couple $1,200 COVID stimulus checks. That’s been my potion of $5T in spending …. PS … my $750 monthly PG&E bills gobbled up that $1,200 right quick. The checks have stopped … but the “Green New Deal” “6uild 6ack 6etter” prices haven’t stopped crushing our wealth
True, we are indeed getting robbed of our wealth. But I’ll be damned if I haven’t forgotten how to ride a bike! And its fun!
Biden, the Biden administration, the media, DNC, all of the Democrat politicians, and many so called republican politicians keep pissing on the hard working tax payers legs and try to convince us we are receiving a nice rainfall with rainbows and a pot of gold to follow. Most of us know from the stench of the waste flowing from Washington and the media centers that we are nose high in their waste. It is to bad many continue to believe that a rainbow is about to follow the yellow stream of waste, corruption, and lies.
According to the US Inflation Calculator
https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/gasoline-prices-adjusted-for-inflation/
In 2019 the US Avg gas cost $2.70 vs $4.55 in 2022, a 68.6% increase.
In 2016, gas was $2.20/gal vs $4.60 in 2022, an increase of 108.6%.
Chuck Todd appears to be a shameless liar.
Well, he is a Libocrat.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics
It is what they do.

Chuck doesn’t have to pretend. He says what he’s told to say. If he needs to tie his shoe lace, they tell him to do it..
#emptysuit
Soon Chuck will remind us that we’re better off than in the Great Depression
The orthodox, mainstream voices on major media, across the western world, have all moved in this same odd leftist direction as Chuck Todd. Was Chuck always a closet leftist (probably) or have the politics of his bosses shifted? Again, probably.
The people Sundance is singling out today (Todd and Margaret Brennan) earn a very generous living appearing on media outlets owned and run by multi-billion $, multi-national corporations. NBC is Comcast, CNN is now AT&T/Warner, ABC and ESPN is Disney, and so on. It would be foolish to suggest that the people at the top of Comcast are not aware of Todd’s leftist politics. And they surely do not object.
It was not always so: Walt Disney was a conservative, hostile to unions infiltrating his beloved studio. I used to search out BBC news broadcasts to get straight and factual news reporting – now the BBC is as tainted as CNN.
I see the nascent Sinclair TV news media is ostensibly trying to be objective, but breaking with the pack would require more skill or more courage than they have.
From Todd, we are hearing the true voice of world capitalism; the corporations want a world run by and for big business. The proper name for that is corporatism. America became a different place when FDR revealed to the rich business interests that big government was actually strongly in their financial interest. And a new Constitution was not even required.
I remain strongly pessimistic that American Democracy will ever be allowed to flourish again. Biden and Kamala couldn’t be bothered to campaign in 2020 – they were already assured they had the job. The rich and powerful in American culture are now manifestly comfortable living in a one-Party State. The processes of liberal democracy will soon be a crime.
Totalitarianism by corporations was predicted in the Sinclair Lewis novel It Can’t Happen Here in 1935.
Looks like he was right on track for an accurate 100-year prophecy.
If Chuck the asshole of the ‘Month’ can pretend not to know things.
Then why would not the MSM not pretend that the headlining MSM narratives postulating 60% demographics in support of Jan 6th MSM narratives are nothing more than entirely MSM faked op-ed’s seeking to make real the falsehood.
It the simply truth, the power of the MSM machine is such …
Resides, solely in the ability to virtually place narratives of MSM outcomes such…
It does not matter whether there is a measurable demographic behind these MSM narratives.
The point is and the sole point of the MSM narratives is to seek “Creation of demographic correction narratives that ENABLES the DC elites to demographically GAME the vote/system.
I state, “The Roe vs Wade outcome is to place nearly, 50% of the demographic into play. That is neither here or there, let alone being measurable, “Due to the framing of MSM emotion op-ed.
Thus demographically enabling a means to sway an election within MSM norms.
Yes, I am operating at an PhD level of election engineering operations.
In that is all it takes is the semblance of plausible demographic narratives that enabled these MSM narrative to march forward of the norm.
These is zero measure of the electoral to measure any out come. The only ability is based on norms defined by the MSM.
Funny THAT!
Huh.
I’d say, good try, but it’s really not.
FCT
The “adjusted for inflation” argument is an outrageous distortion of economics. If you accept it, then you assume everything keeps going up ignoring such things as supply and demand, production efficiencies, and artificial supply shortages.. Gas is expensive… PERIOD.
Also, if wages don’t go up then inflation destroys the economy. I don’t know anyone who has gotten a raise that is keeping up with the inflation.
Their pals over at CNN are already blaming the Democrats’ coming mid-term crash & burn
on . . . Russia . . . and Putin of course.
In exchange for agreeing to price crude oil in US dollars, OPEC (Saudis particularly) loosely pegged the price of oil, in US dollars, to gold (they are not stupid). Thus the petrodollar was born.
For a long time now, a barrel of crude oil has been roughly priced at 1/15 the price of an ounce of gold in US dollars. Put another way, 15 barrels of oil roughly equals the price of 1 ounce of gold
The same is true today. A barrel of oil is approx $113.00. 15 barrels =$1695.oo
With an ounce of gold at today’s value equal to $1845, you could say that oil is somewhat under-priced and is likely to go up.
(Naturally, of course, the price of gasoline and heating oil, although derivates of crude, are more affected by negative political decisons coming out of DC than the actual price/barrel.)
I don’t understand why the price of gold is not soaring, but it remains eerily stationary.
I can only conclude that somehow the globalist cabal is controlling it. Not that I have the faintest of an actual clue about such matters.
I believe the precious metals market, like the stock market, has come under the control of the global financial industry and is likewise being manipulated by it. I think you’re spot on about the ‘globalist cabal’.
The only way IMO we can regain control is to crash the system and get into hard assets. That would take massive cooperation and the willingness to suffer and be civilly and financially disobedient. How many people, as example, own actual gold, physical gold, like the metal itself that was the impetus to ‘rushes’ over the centuries? IDK. IMO we should own such, and other precious metals, and other commodities and essentials of life and commerce, and physical dirt. Things we can barter and sell and defend to the death if necessary. This is nothing new. Americans did this for decades, if not centuries, before the modern banking industry.
I’ve long been an advocate of financial warfare, most poignantly since PDJT used it against other countries and watching how Canadians fought back against the government when Trudeau’s regime moved to freeze bank accounts.
In my view, it’s the last stop before the ammo box and direct action.
I thought Chuck Todd wasn’t going to host Meet the Press any longer? Maybe this is him trying real hard to keep the gig?
George Carlin:
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
Anderson Cooper and Katie Couric and Brian Williams and Chuck Todd.
When you’re in, you’re in. Generating an audience is so far beyond the point.
Megyn Kelly tried hard to embarrass Trump and failed. She was rewarded with a huge contract at NBC. Failed again.
You only leave the club if you break their rules. Can any Treesters name someone who actually, deliberately broke the rules? Maybe Roseanne?
Lou Dobbs.
And his podcast is better than any microsecond of cable or alphabet teevee.
Did Chuck actually look at his graph before showing it?
Chuck “the Gerbil” Todd is not worth a moment of anyone’s precious time.
What a tard. Even his own biased graph shows gas prices one dollar a gallon more than the evil Trump
“the latest distraction is to claim gas prices are not high when “adjusted” to account for the inflation that Joe Biden has created.”
So, a self-eating watermelon.
His energy lunacy is certainly contributing to inflation in a big way, so because of that lunacy, gas prices are high.
There soooooo must be a reckoning with those in the media (and politicians) who refuse to call out this craziness.
Not pretending. Seriously clueless.
Appearance values again. But President Trump would never wear a suit that he couldn’t button up to at least cover up the bottom of his tie. I’m disgusted with the likes of Chuck Todd and anyone else who tries to “NOT” give one example of why not so long ago the USA was energy independent and a net exporter of energy. Can’t do that now, can we?
I have always been suspicious. And am now staring to wonder what the BIG and REAL STORY is behind the scenes that attention is being drawn away from re energy policy?
Is it bait and switch? Look here but not there? I don’t know. But I’m getting weary of the BS. Only thing I can figure we are going through a version of the movie “Dave.”
If the link doesn’t work, the movie is about a body double found to be the perfect imitation a president . While the “real” one is one life support living in the bowels of the White House. That scenario , well, makes more sense to me than anything else these days.
I always liked the scene in that movie, for all its foolish Hollywood nonsense, where the fake President and his accountant pal figure out how to pay for a program in short order, while surrounded by corrupticians who know perfectly well the idea is never to pay for a program.
Dear Sundance, Thank you for watching this utterly absurd buffoon, so I don’t have to. Maybe Chuck Todd would like to receive his 2010 salary…..
Well, they think we are stupid. So they put a stupid idiot in front of a camera to sell us house boats to use in the middle of the Sahara.
Chuck Todd, who I call a dildo with a goatee, tries so hard to come across as serious but just looks like a fool.
The sad part- there are some who buy what he is selling- we will see people standing on the deck of house boats, in the middle of the all that sand, waving smiling, pointing their fingers, snickering at us, like we are the idiots. All while not seeing their own reflection in the mirror.
Next time you’re at a red light- look all around, you’ll see one- they have masks on, in their cars, by themselves.
Chuck Todd and the other Democrat minions seem to be under the influence of some drug that renders them delusional. A person would have to be “high” to make such weird pronouncements.
FCT is nothing more than a propagandist pig. Cut your cable and do whatever you can to not fund these manure spreading platforms.
If you have to adjust for inflation that means there was extremely high inflation. I didn’t see any inflation adjustment by Chuck Todd or any other NBC liars segments under Trump, but then we didn’t have high inflation!
hahahahahaha…. what an idiot!!!! lol….
Chuck…why are refineries not keeping up? Asking for a friend.
Chuck Todd and the MSM puppet masters all have the same problem. You see, previously, they could convince most people that the poisonous spider infestation you are experiencing is nothing but ants. How? In the past, they had grainy footage, and no one else had access. So they would pull two legs off the spiders, use the grainy footage and funny shots to convince us not to believe our own eyes but to believe the footage- see, six legs, see….six, and I will talk about the six legs for ten minutes with an “expert.” And after I speak with that “expert,” a “fact-checker” will follow up with a puff piece about how yes, ants have six legs and the bugs in the grainy footage have six legs (ignore the two stumps), so thus, they find the story about ants to be true.
Yes, it’s a foolish analogy because it’s asinine that is what is occurring. And more so, it’s way beyond stupid that there are still people who believe this garbage. The good news is that most people have become some people. Now, to get that to only a few people.
Fortunately I’m using money I’ve had in our safe since 2010 to buy gasoline so I’m getting the fuel at the preinflated rate.
Chuck F. is not a bright person. None of these people are.
Todd never did compare groceries or gas to Trumps economy.
B.S.
