Stanley told MS NOW's Alex Tabet:
"[Trump] was bragging the other day on news, [gas prices] $1.90 or $2.90 somewhere—it's $5.50 a gallon."
"I miss my Uncle Joe [Biden]."
"I was ballin' then, now I couldn't even tell you. I couldn't even show you $5 in my pocket."

Eurasia Group, a global political risk research and consulting firm, expects average gas prices in the United States to reach $4 soon and to hover around that level for some time.
Eurasia Group founder Ian Bremmer told CBS News:
"Americans feel the impact of higher gas prices every week when they fill their car tank. It's something everyone sees and feels that's meaningful and will play through to other prices as well."
Last week, two congressional sources told MS NOW that the war is costing the United States an estimated $1bn a day. A day later, Politico reported that Republicans on Capitol Hill privately fear the Pentagon is spending close to $2bn a day on the war.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference last week that President Trump is “plunging America into another endless conflict in the Middle East” and “spending billions of dollars to bomb Iran.”
“But they can’t find a dime to make it more affordable for the American people to go see a doctor when they need one,” he said. “Can’t find a dime to make it easier for Americans who are working hard to purchase their first home. And they can’t find a dime to lower the grocery bills of the American people.”
But at least eggs are... still not cheaper.
However, according to an interview with Newsweek, Liu has noted the various pronunciations of her name and is comfortable with it, though there is, of course, one correct way of pronouncing it.
Liu explained:
“So technically this is how my family says my name: Ah-LEE-sah Lee-oh.”
“That’s technically how you say my name, but ‘Ah-LISS-uh’ is how my friends call me, and that’s how the world calls me, and then my last name a lot of people say ‘Lee-oo,’ ‘Loo.’”
"I personally don’t care because technically the right way is ‘Lee-oh,’ but that can be hard to pronounce. And I don't expect people to know how to say that."
As the interview continued, Liu revealed that it was more important to her to connect with people.
"My goal is always to share my story and to connect with people."
"To have my experiences, turn them into a performance, and have my emotions be a part of that and get people to feel something."

TikTokers hoped Liu would establish stronger boundaries about her name in the future.

The video went viral on other platforms, as well, including X.
X users were equally surprised and urged Liu to have boundaries about something as important as her name.
Mispronouncing Liu's name has surely been an honest mistake by many, but we can do better if we take what we have learned and apply it.
While Liu gives the audience an out by pointing out the different ways that different people in her life pronounce her name, it's perfectly reasonable for everyone to aim for the proper pronunciation to show her the least little bit of respect.
