GREG KELLY (HOST): John F. Kennedy, a Democrat. Impressive words. We all learned them at one point. Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. That seems to have fallen away big time. Nobody talks like this. Nobody seems to think like this. And I hear this panicking out there, panic about gas prices. OK. Nobody likes to pay more in gas. I get it. But the crisis mongering, right? The fear. Oh my gosh. The country is going down the tubes because gas prices have gone up.
...
KELLY: Look, nobody likes it. And, yeah, sometimes people are going to have to make some decisions and it's rough.
But this is still America, and this is still a pretty good place to live, kind of — yeah? It is. It is. We're going to be 250 years old and people are losing it over this.
And part of it is artificial, totally artificial. I mean, the hysteria about it, that is artificial. The tonality, the whole thing. Look at this. We looked up that record high gas when it really went above $5 a gallon, like, across the board. That was June 6, 2022. Let's go back and think who was president there. Biden. Biden was president.
