Summary

Gas prices are up, answers are nowhere to be found, and the administration can’t seem to keep its story straight. From Kevin Hassett’s “just imagine” economics to Karoline Leavitt claiming prices are down, and Scott Bessent’s fuzzy math on $3 gas, the confusion is real. Add in a revealing Fox Business interview, a head-scratching moment from Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and you’ve got another week of chaos, spin, and zero accountability.

0:53.3

Or will it go the way of the East Wing and collapse

0:57.1

it on itself? Here we are sitting in the middle of an unconstitutional war of choice in Iran.

1:05.0

Prices across the board are rising. But that sounds wrong.

1:14.1

How is that possible?

1:16.3

An illegal unconstitutional war of choice?

about all of that, as well as all of his cronies and all of the enablers who are responsible for

1:47.9

most of it. As I mentioned, prices are high and getting higher, and that is uppermost on everybody's

mind. Even on CNBC, where a National Economic Council, advisor advisor and inappropriate Smiler, Kevin Hassett,
