Like people inside the Trump administration to consider why veto goes back to Sicily.

That's all.

One thing we've learned for sure is that we're all going to be paying a lot more for gas until who knows when.

The price of oil spiked to around $100 a barrel over that.

Then the price of gas hit an average of $3.48 on Monday.

Then by the end of the day, the price had dropped.

The market rallied.

Although right before we started recording, it went back over $90 a barrel again.

So now it's climbing back up.

After it went back down, more volatility, higher prices expected as long as the war continues and who knows how long after.

By the way, the war is also costing us, taxpayers, about a billion dollars a day.

Trump said higher gas prices are, quote, a very small price to pay for, quote, safety and peace.

And if you disagree with him, you are, in his words, a fool.

Wow.

That's a good quote.

I guess the White House just assumes the prices will come down when the war is over and Americans will forget this all by November.

I don't know.

What do you guys think?

I don't know what they're thinking.

I don't really understand how they think or make their decisions.
