Summary
Gas prices keep climbing as tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz continue to shake global oil markets. Joe Pags breaks down why Americans are still feeling it at the pump, what Pete Hegseth and General Caine are saying about Operation Epic Fury, and why Marco Rubio stepped in for Karoline Leavitt to explain the shift into Project Freedom. With Rubio warning the U.S. is still better off than it could be, Pags cuts through the spin and explains what this means for oil, gas, Iran, and your wallet. Learn more about your ad choices.
