| 0:00.0 | Trump deals himself a fatal blow on one of the last strengths he has left in his presidency. |
| 0:05.0 | And I've got four interviews, Senator Bernie Sanders, Congressman Robert Garcia and Dan Goldman, |
| 0:10.0 | and Democratic strategist Tom Bonnier. |
| 0:12.0 | I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie. |
| 0:15.0 | So it's no surprise that Trump has been very quickly losing the narrative as the Epstein files |
| 0:21.0 | weighed him down, as his unpopular ICE deployments have weighed him down, as his trade war |
| 0:25.4 | and subsequent higher prices have weighed him down. But at a bare minimum, he still had one |
| 0:30.3 | thing that he could point to as a win. Gas prices have been at a four-year low under Trump |
| 0:34.5 | with a national average at about $2.98. Not the biggest win in the world, but Americans love cheap gas, and clearly we are happy to trade away our climate if it means we could get to save a few bucks to fill the tank, which is why Trump repeated that point over and over and over. And granted, he would lie and claim that gas was the cheapest has ever been. He would lie that it's at a 20-year low. |
| 0:55.1 | He lied that it was $1.85. |
| 0:57.6 | And while that was all bullshit, it was true that gas was still cheap, or at least cheaper. |
| 1:02.5 | And then Trump decided to bomb Iran, which would be disqualifying enough for a guy who literally campaigned on no new wars. |
| 1:09.2 | A guy who is on record, God knows how many times |
| 1:11.6 | specifically decrying the prospect of war with Iran. But as the result of that decision to bomb |
| 1:17.0 | Iran anyway, oil prices have now skyrocketed. Price per barrel is about 90 bucks expected to go as |
| 1:22.9 | high as $150 per barrel. The cost of gas at the pump has risen between 20 and 50 cents in a single day, |
| 1:30.0 | meaning in a presidency where Trump has squandered virtually every ounce of goodwill that he had |
| 1:35.0 | because of the Epstein files, because of ICE, because of high prices, because of rising inflation, |
| 1:40.0 | because of his trade war, because of his incompetent cabinet, because of gutting ACA subsidies, |
| 1:44.7 | he managed to take the last vestige of popular support with low gas prices and figure out the |
| 1:50.4 | way to blow them up by sparking off a war in the Middle East, breaking his most central campaign promise, |
| 1:55.9 | truly the work of a political mastermind to blow up the last ounce of goodwill you have |
