Hello, and welcome back to the Power Hour, the Heritage Foundation Center for Energy, Climate and Environment's podcast.

I'm your host, Jack Spencer. Jack Haggard is with us producing again today. Jack, how are you, sir? I'm doing well. How are you, Jack? I'm very good. I'm going on vacation next week. I'm looking forward to it. Congratulations. Do you have any near-term vacation plans? Just for Easter, going up to New York to visit my cousins. All right. So you have cousins, do you? Lots of cousins. Lots of cousins. Outstanding. Just because I'm going on vacation, though, Jack, this isn't for you. This is for our listeners who expect the power hour to come out every week. We did an extra episode this week so that we will not, if I hadn't

told you I was going on vacation, you'd never know because we will again have one on Monday as

scheduled. So that's awesome. How's that RAV-4 treating you? So far so good. Yeah? How is it on gas

mileage? Well, we're going to take it up to New York, so I'll report back after that.

I bet you're caring about these gas prices, aren't you? They're going up, buddy. Yeah, it's not great. You know what? It could be way, way worse. It could also be way, way better. And that's what we're going to talk about today. and as a man behind the wheel of a RAV 4,

member of the team is on vacation we'll make sure to still get you your Monday episodes so

subscribe tell a friend do all that stuff we really appreciate it now Jack I am not one

to comment too much on what other world leaders are saying.

If they want to do good for their countries, awesome.

If they want to screw up their countries, that's their business as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know if I'm America first or America only.

I'm definitely Americans first, and I'm definitely American.

And I therefore definitely care about what our leaders do.

But a foreign leader just said something so colossally backwards that I have to bring it up.
