SCALISE: We've delivered. Remember that 2 years ago, we were paying almost $6 a gallon. Right now it's in the $3s

S: We are lowering inflation

K: We're actually above where we were then. 2 years ago the average was $3.65

1. Gas spiked because Russia invaded Ukraine

In the current instance gas spiked because we attacked Iran. Maybe MAGA should try to convince the nation why it will be better off because of the attack.

2. It was under $3.00 pg during Biden's

last year in office.

[Miles Archer]

4. I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment, but I'll assume rising & falling gas prices are part of most presidencies

There's limited value in "blame the last guy," and the fact that we're 16 months into Trump's presidency and he's still doing it is beyond pathetic.

5. Gas prices fell below $3.00 per gallon

for the first time in over four years on December 2, 2025.

3. Kernan

Joe Kernan actually called out the lies from a Republican.
That's got to be a first on CNBC.

6. Two years ago it was because oil company CEOs needed biggger yachts.

This year it's because we have a demented lunatic wannabe dictator and an ass kissing deranged holy warrior in charge of America's military and they're going on a crusade because another demented lunatic wannabe dictator is on a genocidal conquest.

7. Good analysis.

15. Did Kernan dispute the LIE that "Iran was about to get a nuclear weapon"?

No objective sources agreed with that, and Trump asserted less than a year ago he had completely "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capability.

Kernan did more than most, sad to say, but it was still weak sauce compared to what's needed. With thorough fact checking in real time, the media is platforming lies.

8. I don't ever remember higher gas prices than right now

In Lehigh Valley, PA, paid $4.40 /gal yesterday.

Never even hit $4 / gal during Biden's term . At the end of W. Bush's 2nd term hit lower $4 /gal.

10. I Saw $4.899 The Other Day

It has never been that high in this county. At least not adjusted for inflation. (During 43's presidency it hit $4, but that was over 20 years ago.)
But, as an absolute value it has never been as high.
At out local stations here, we're over $4.30. Same thing; highest number I've ever seen & we've lived in this town for 46 years.
The blatant, provably false things they say are galling.

13. I am as devistated now ...

by the rising gas cost as I was when it went up to 37 cents from 35!

18. In San Diego, during COVID, regular got up to around $5.50 a gallon...

But after Biden opened up the Strategic Oil Reserves and broke OPEC in early 2022, it plummeted down to $3.45 on average (in San Diego) within a couple months and wandered around as high as $4.00 at one point but starting around February 2024, prices started sneaking up to a COVID era level $4.70 on average by October / November of 2024. Lots of refineries apparently had problems...as typical during election season.

And the February drop in 2025 only took it down to the cost it was the year prior. Not to the pre-primary levels.

Gee, wonder what was going on in 2024?

9. This is also

The first time I can remember that the price of gas was directly caused by the President.

No I invasion a d my fill up this morning is $55 instead of $90.

11. Scalise actually never "saw the light" after his

unfortunate incident a few years back. He continues to be a lying scumbag. Even worse than before.

[twodogsbarking]

12. He said he just gets $20 at a time so the price never changes.

[ShazamIam]

16. A fine example of Republican math.

[PatSeg]

14. Love it

Hit them back with the truth, as plain and simple as possible. They are no longer even trying to be believable.

17. Scalise is such a moron.
