Gas prices in America are still high, painfully high. They're going to drop like a rock as soon as it's over. Painfully high, though, now, and could be creeping higher before it's done. Lower than Biden, excuse me, lower than Biden, and much lower than people thought they'd be. This inflation number is going up. You're right, it's much lower than President Biden's was, but it's going up under you, the numbers are. You can imagine Democrats and political pundits jumped all over this statement I THINK THAT'S A PERFECT SAID. I DON'T THINK ABOUT THE NUCLEAR WEAPON. I DON'T THINK ABOUT THE NUCLEAR WEAPON. YOU WERE ASKED WHEN YOU WERE LEAVING. WHAT EXTENT ARE AMERICAN FINANCIAL DICTATIONS MOTIVATING YOU TO MAKE A FEEL? NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT. THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IRAN, THEY CAN'T HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I DON'T THINK ABOUT AMERICAN FINANCIAL SITUATION. I THINK ABOUT ONE THING. people stop the soundbite at, I don't think, about America's financial situation. So what's your response to that framework? It's very simple. When people hear me say it, everybody agrees. Short-term pain, it's going to be short-term pain. But the pain is much less than people thought because people thought that the oil would go up to $250. You know, it was $99 yesterday, $99 a barrel, I thought it might go up to $200. I was okay with that. Not that I wanted it but you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon They will use it on us They start off with Israel wipe it out The Middle East wipe it out It go to Europe You know they have a missile that goes to Europe You saw that, okay? They have a missile that goes to Europe. I have done Europe a very big favor. When you tell somebody you're going to have to pay a little more, not that much more, a little more for gasoline for a very short period of time, because we want to stop the threat of being blown to pieces by a lunatic, by a crazy person, and they are crazy, using nuclear weapons. Everybody says that's fine. And that question was a fake question, and they didn't put my full answer. I totally care. Look, I inherited high prices, and they came in with the word affordability. My first press conference, two days in, and Biden didn't do press conferences. He'd go for years without doing it because he was incapable of doing it. He was an incompetent person. But my first question was about eggs. Eggs have quadrupled. What are you going to do? I said, eggs? Tell me about eggs. Tell me about the problem. Eggs have gone up four times. They said, I'll take care of it. By the way, I did take care of it. But they came up with a word because they are good. They're rotten with policy. They're horrible politicians. In many cases, we have a new name. They're Democrats. I call them Democrats. Not Democrats. They're Democrats. A LOT OF LOW IQ PEOPLE. YOU HAVE ILHAN OMAR SAYING WORLD WAR 11. SHE SAID WORLD WAR, SHE WAS REFERRING TO WORLD WAR II. SHE SAID WORLD WAR 11, THESE PEOPLE ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY AND WE HAVE TO STOP.
