And the media is just hyping everything that comes out, every news piece.

And that's just adding to the volatility.

Bowling predicts gas prices are likely to keep going up.

I will guarantee you, based on just the information, the media, the rhetoric, the heightened rhetoric, gasoline will hit a $4 average per gallon, even if the conflict ends tonight, even if it's over.

Just because, like I said, it takes 45 days to run a barrel of crude oil through a refinery and get it to the gas stations.

So whatever these prices are today, the $119 yesterday or the

$98 the day after, those prices will eventually make it to the pump, even if things calm down.

Let me tell you, the Middle East, between the Persians and the Arabs, have a vested interest in higher prices.

So the longer the conflict draws out, the higher the gasoline price will be.

We won't top out at $4.

We could top out at $4.50.

We could top out at even $5 a gallon.

We asked Bolling if he thinks gas price increases will be temporary.

i don't know if it's short-term pain i don't know that anyone knows if it's going to be short-term pain or not for the first time ever the iranians are bombing abu dhabi bahrain saudi arabia other arab countries persians bombing arab countries these are all producing nations like i said it's going to be at least another

45 days of pain minimum, based on what's already happened, before we can even start to think about calming down.

And don't forget, $100 barrel of oil is much better for not only the Iranians, but the Saudis and the Abu Dhabis and the UAEs and the Kuwaitis and the Omanis.

There's a good chance that they're going to keep this conflict going, even if they say they don't want it to, because they didn't like a $55 barrel of oil.

They're loving a $100 barrel of oil, and they may get it for some extended period of time if this thing continues.

And I don't see anyone in the Middle East trying to calm it down or tone it down.

Yeah, unfortunately, this is the one Achilles that that conservatives have.
