During Wednesday’s White House press conference, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to explain why it took months for President Joe Biden to suggest a temporary federal gas tax break to help Americans at the gas pump.
The press conference came just an hour after Biden spoke , urging Congress to pass a three month federal gas tax break as Americans prepare to travel this summer, and as gases continue to hold out at record high prices. “This topic of a tax break has been out there for weeks and months. And you’re just talking now about starting conversation. Why is it just starting now?” one reporter asked.
Jean-Pierre responded that Biden wanted to “make sure he looked at the data” and “spoke to his economic team” before taking action.
“But I do want to take take a step back. if we look at the last several months, if we look at what has happened during — during the time that Putin amassed his forces along the border of Ukraine, we have seen gas prices rise by $2 per gallon. That is just the facts,” she said.
While gas prices have sharply risen since the February invasion of Ukraine, gas prices in the US had been creeping up for months before that.
“That is what we have seen, and the President has taken historic action. So yes, it’s been a couple of it’s been a couple of months, but he has taken action. He has not just been sitting around waiting to make a decision on this,” Jean-Pierre said.
Jean-Pierre said that Biden has released 1 million barrels of oil from the strategic oil reserves per day.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
