I'm surprised his show is still going. Haven't they deplatformed him from everything? I don't know how he even makes a living.
Buck Sexton might be a Blaze cuck, but he was dead-on when he coined "The process is the punishment" a while back. They're doing it to the rich right now, but it won't be long before they start bringing the courts down on people who can't afford top lawyers and years of litigation.

Biden planning to tap oil reserve to control gas prices
PROGRAMMING NOTE: President Biden is expected to make the official announcement at 1:30 p.m. today.
WASHJINGTON - President Joe Biden is preparing to order the release of up to 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve, according to two people familiar with the decision, in a bid to control energy prices that have spiked as the U.S. and allies have imposed steep sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The announcement could come as soon as Thursday, when the White House says Biden is planning to deliver remarks on his administration's plans to combat rising gas prices. The duration of the release hasn't been finalized but could last for several months. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the decision.
High oil prices have not coaxed more production, creating a challenge for Biden. The Democratic president has seen his popularity sink as inflation reached a 40-year high in February and the cost of petroleum and gasoline climbed after Russia invaded Ukraine.
The markets reacted quickly to the likely release from the strategic reserve with crude oil prices dropping 6% on Thursday morning to roughly $101 a barrel. Still, oil is up from roughly $60 a year ago as supplies have not kept up with demand as the world economy began to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic.
Americans on average use about 21 million barrels of oil daily, with about 40% of the consumption devoted to gasoline, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Domestic oil production is equal to more than half of the country's usage, but high prices have not led companies to return to their pre-pandemic levels of output. The U.S. is producing on average 11.7 million barrels daily, down from 13 million barrels in early 2020.
Oil producers have been more focused on meeting the needs of investors than consumers, according to a survey released last week by the Dallas Federal Reserve. About 59% of the executives surveyed said investor pressure to preserve “capital discipline” amid high prices was the reason they weren’t pumping more, while fewer than 10% blamed government regulation.
The steady release from the reserves would be a meaningful sum and come near to closing the domestic production gap relative to February 2020, before the coronavirus caused a steep decline in oil output.
The Biden administration in November announced the release of 50 million barrels from the strategic reserve in coordination with other countries. And after the Russia-Ukraine war began, the U.S. and 30 other countries agreed to an additional release of 60 million barrels from reserves, with half of the total coming from the U.S.
According to the Department of Energy, which manages it, more than 568 million barrels of oil were held in the reserve as of March 25.
News of the administration’s planning was first reported by Bloomberg.

The last time he did this it dropped the gas price all of $0.02/gallon. Unless he's going to fucking empty it (which I wouldn't put past this administration), I don't think that'll accomplish much.

Why would it actually lower the price of gas here? They immediately exported it. I expect nothing more this time. Duplicitous cunts.

This is what you get when your staffers are both inexperienced because she goes through them like kleenexes, and that she goes out of her way to make her staffers hate her. Notes are either late or missing, or are written in the biggest words possible or in the most circuitous manner possible so either her cum soaked brain can't comprehend them or are just random words with little to no meaning.

Trump would also beat Biden to an inch of his life using only six fingers.
And Kamal sucks dick.
Sounds like she caught whatever Joe Biden had for the last 50 years.
Might be because of the dick sucking.

More oil in the global supply = lower prices, in a strict microeconomics context.
The reality is that there's a shitton of complicating factors on oil prices beyond simple microeconomics, which is why the price change is so minimal and probably not worth the tradeoff of draining the strategic reserve.

This has to be some sort of voodoo spell because I read that out loud and now I feel retarded.
It was the claim that some of the family members were crisis actors. Now to be totally honest if some fat burger called me a fake actor after my 6 year old just had his brain blown out I'd do more than sue the cunt, and I like Alex Jones.
But yeah in a country where it's perfectly OK for the media to defame and lie at will the case is 99% political.

He's a humble water filter merchant. The TV show is a side gig.
Edit: In all seriousness, he's still succeeding for the same reason Youtubers like Rekieta are -- he has regular content, and he's funny, basically being the right's version of Colbert. (You didn't think he was 100% serious, did you?) Beyond that, his outreach game is on point. If you sign up for his mailing list you get an email once every day or three with some hyperbolic explanations of what's going on in politics. He's also on Rumble and Odyssy (along with literally every alt-tech platform out there, holy shit) which are two of the platforms that are actually managing to rise above the alt-tech haze. While he doesn't have an app they have a rather on point web dev that is using webapps instead, so that barring some very specific fuckery from Google/Apple, they can't stop it. Oh, and IIRC, they literally just create new fake domains to get around social media blocking his site.
While he's been banned from smartTV apps like Roku due to direct threats by Mastercard et all (remove InfoWars or we'll prevent you from taking payments online) the Rumble/Odyssey apps work just fine for getting his content on your TV.
Also, he's much bigger than a TV show now. If you go to his website, you'll find it's basically a news site on par with Breitbart or MSNBC. https://www.infowars.com/

According to HowStuffWorks, there's about 577.5 million barrels of crude oil in the US reserves, with a maximum drawdown capacity of 4.4 million barrels/day. Which means theoretically it can last just over 131 days if we assume a constant rate of drainage. This does not include the 13-14 days it takes for refining and country-wide distribution to happen. But that's not going to happen, since drawdown is tapered down after 90 days, and further tapered down to stretch the reserves. Additionally, the last time Biden released crude oil, it was only about 3 days' worth of oil.
I can't imagine Biden ordering a full draw-down, however.

The rich are heavily invested in the system and will work in it to try and keep their assets, even if diminished. This is why the system can put people like Jones through the wringer, because there is a hope for them that they might make it through. After all, Jones has time and money, he might get lucky.
Most people, however, don't have those kinds of assets, and are becoming aware that there is no hope, that the authorities that should be impartial are corruptly political and out on a vendetta. Why would men surrender themselves to the petty tyrannies of black robed radicals intent on using disputes as political vendettas? The only authority they claim is based on the impartiality and fairness of the system, when that illusion is dispelled nothing remains.
Or more simply, what will happen when regular people are forced into a corner, and they know that there is no peaceful solution? When a smug Communist DA and their robed cronies promise only grinding torture and suffering brought about by a system they rigged to ensure destruction? What happens when the only choices are to die quietly at the hands of those that hate you and want to rape your children, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?

Our national strategic reserve is being exported into the global supply. I bolded the parts that give me brain pain.

And when push comes to shove, who do you think Europe is going to bend the knee to? Putin The Strongman, or the perpetually-fucking up Mushbrain with no persuasion power or political capital? Putin has a black belt in judo, while Mushbrain blurts classified info to the public before his wife leads him away from the podium by the hand. And with the democrats religiously undermining and destroying American energy production, not only are we unable to fix our own energy crisis, but we can’t even engage in offsetting efforts (EU buys from us instead of EVIL! Russia). We have no leverage. It makes me laugh like a cunt, knowing that Europe is going to be forced to kneel before a literal Russian warmonger after all of their Ukraine virtue-signaling.
Pretty certain that Europe is not going to let their people freeze, or their societies grind to a halt (least of all the UK, who are currently desperately working to get past the political fallout from COVID restrictions). RIP petrodollar.
I’m not on Putin’s side whatsoever, but I gotta give it to the guy. Rather than try to rush his objective, he considered the rewards of patience. He knew that if he pulled this shit with Trump in office, it would’ve ended badly for him, so he took his time. He knew we’d pussy out and nix Trump for D I V E R S I T Y & T O L E R A N C E at the next election. And lo and behold, we suicidally replaced The Donald with an absolute joke who projects nothing but weakness for the entire world to see. Putin saw the weakness, and took the opportunity. Will he emerge from this victorious? I dunno, but I can’t disparage the guy for skillfully strategizing the moment by which to make his move.
At least there are no more mean tweets, though. Right guiyz??
