'What?' CNN panel busts out laughing at GOP pundit defending Trump's 'bird law' war

'Marveling over this': Chris Hayes shocked as Trump's polling falls 'off the chart'

President Donald Trump's sliding polls on inflation and cost of living stunned MS NOW's Chris Hayes — who presented the latest data in a striking graph that could barely even fit how far his numbers had plummeted.

"The lesson is that people really care about gas prices," said Hayes. "Oil and natural gas, gasoline are the most important commodities in the world. They are what modern civilization runs on. I think that's about to change because of how cheap and incredibly clean energy has gotten. But right now, you quite simply cannot run your society without fossil fuels. There's no other option. When the prices go up, people get pretty upset about it."
