BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): I'm going to tell you right now the future. Here we go. Gas is going to collapse.
The gas prices are going to go back to where the median gas prices fundamentally are, which is around $2 a gallon. That's where it was in December and January of 2025 to 2026. There were some on this program who had gas prices below $2 a gallon in Texas and Colorado specifically.
This is something that's going to happen by the midterms.
The economy is going to rip roar because President Trump is going to announce two peace deals, one with Iran and one with Ukraine and Russia. That's something that is happening actually in concert. President Trump is using the Iran conflict in order to put a shoulder into Putin, and we saw Vladimir Putin and Voldemort Zelensky this weekend. Thank President Trump for the ceasefire and then for a future peace agreement. I think those things are going to happen at quick scale after President Trump meets with Xi Jinping this week. President Trump is going to head to China, and the world will be reset as soon as we retake Cuba and install potentially a Cuban warlord named Castro on that island. What could possibly go wrong?
