In Kentucky today, the average [gas price] is $4.28 a gallon. A year ago, $2.85. Diesel is $5.32. That's $2 more than a year ago. All this is entirely attributable to the Trump administration starting a war without thinking through the costs to the American people. They failed to address the basic question of how they would secure the Strait of Hormuz. (08:37–08:54)
