Why are gas prices so high? Everybody has their idea on why it is. In fact, we're going to be going over some people that are positive. They know the answer, like Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden. But we're going to get down into the details. We're going to get down into the facts of what causes gas prices to go up. What can we really do about it? And what are some of the things that got us to the situation

that we're in today? So, if you're interested on who really makes money off a gas, how much

do they make, what sort of policies directly influence the overall fuel market and how this

affects you on a day-to-day basis, that's what we're going to be discussing today as well as

the arguments that you're going to need in order to share those fun facts with your friends.

All that and more coming up on this episode of making the argument where we make the arguments to defend a free society.

Thank you for joining us and we are back in studio today with another great episode.

And I hope you walk away like Nick said with some arguments of your own.

to say thank you to everyone because we're seeing, you know, increased numbers in our podcast

and our YouTube views. And that's because of you guys liking and sharing. It makes a difference.

So thank you very much. Once again, I'm your host, Nick Freitas, member of the Virginia House of Delegates, but other than that, a good person. Unfortunately,

my wife, Tina, Queen of the Bees, could not be here today. So you're just stuck with the guys.

But we have our historian and political prognosticator, Christian. I'm here.

Christian's here. He's here. And then, of course, our producer of producers, the good Hamilton, the one that doesn't like central banking, Nick, as always correct. So Nick, this conversation about gas prices. A lot of people

have a lot of opinions. And one of our favorite people, Elizabeth Warren, has had some things

to say about this. What does she have to say, next? She's had a lot. In fact, let's go to, there's this

article, and anybody that's been paying attention to Elizabeth Warren on Twitter, on any of the news hitch that she does, she says Elizabeth Warren blames high gas prices on corporate greed. She's also blamed price gouging, right? And this has been pretty common. It's not just from Elizabeth Warren, but she's one of the most prominent. And we're going to, we're going to analyze this. Right? Because I think when a lot of people look at this,

they feel like it makes sense. In fact, I was recently on a trip. We had to go to a trip for work,

flew in, got my Uber. And as we're driving, the Uber drivers talking about, you know, how much less he's making now because of what he's got to pay in gas prices. No. I'm like, I mean, I think some other things might explain this. Good question. And we had a good

conversation about that. But the thing I want to hit on this, this first little point.
