CALLER (GUEST): He had to open the Strait of Hormuz or the world oil shortage would have been devastating for everybody. We're already up again over $4 a gallon, by the way, in diesel and gasoline -- or at least diesel. Gasoline, I think, is still saying under around --

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): By the way, I'm very sorry about that because that means less money in your pocket, and that makes your job harder. The only thing I can say that maybe will give you hope, I think this will be temporary. That's my guess.

CALLER: It always is with president Trump. He always knows the right path back to prosperity for us. A small price to pay.
