Thursday: 33% Approval and $4 Gas Is No Coincidence

The Rush Lindell Show

Show Notes

Trump's approval just hit thirty-three percent on Thursday, August 20, and Rush Lindell and Reagan tear into what's actually driving the collapse. This episode digs into the Reuters/Ipsos crosstabs showing Democrats now beating Republicans on economic trust for the first time in a decade, then follows the money down to $527 in extra household fuel costs since the war began. Rush and Reagan clash over Fed nominee Warsh's split July decision and whether a September rate hike can even touch oil-shock inflation. They also stage a brutal parody of the White House's broken gas-price promises, with an OPIS analyst predicting no relief until 2027, before landing on three dates -- September 11th CPI, the September 15-16 FOMC meeting, and daily AAA gas averages -- that could decide the midterms.

Reagan pushes back hard on Rush's inflation-crisis framing, forcing a real argument about who owns the blockade and its price consequences.
