The Strait of Hormuz is half-closed, a South Korean container ship just took two drone hits in the stern, and Energy Secretary Wright is on TV saying he can't predict gas prices. Mike's angle: this is what energy dependence looks like in real time. The administration is calling it a 47-year Iran conflict — fine. But $4.52 a gallon and rising is a number every guy filling up a work van understands. Wright said prices could be under $3 by summer. They went the other way. Button: 'Can't predict it' isn't a policy.

Body

Gas is $4.52 a gallon nationally. That's up more than 50% since the Iran situation started, per AAA. And Energy Secretary Chris Wright went on NBC's Meet the Press this weekend and said, "I can't predict the price of energy in the short term or even the medium term."

He's not wrong that the Iran conflict is real. He's not wrong that this has been a 47-year fight. Fine. But here's what also happened: Wright said earlier this year that prices could fall below $3 by summer. They went the other direction. Now the administration is floating a federal gas-tax suspension — 18 cents a gallon — as a potential answer. That's the move. Eighteen cents on a fill-up, while the pump hits $4.52 and climbing.

Every guy who drives a work van, every small contractor watching fuel costs eat into a job bid, every family that can't swap to a different vehicle because they're not in the market for one — they all understand $4.52. They understand it in their gut every single time they pull up to the pump. "I can't predict it" isn't a policy. It's a press answer. Common sense wasn't wrong.
