## Resource

The spin machine is at full tilt. The Strait of Hormuz still isn't clear, oil is hovering around $90, gas is pushing $5 a gallon heading into summer, and the president of the United States is telling Americans not to worry while his cabinet takes turns praising him on camera. Paul Rieckhoff joins Connell McShane on News Nation for a no-BS breakdown of what's actually happening — and what the MAGA machine doesn't want you to see.
