And for more on this, we are joined by Melissa DeRosa, Democratic strategist, as well as Rich Zioli, the host of the Rich Zioli Podcast.

So let's take a look at the numbers right here.

AAA came out with the states with the most expensive gas prices.

California is at the top of the list and it's not even close.

Average of $5 and about 30 cents per gallon.

I'm born and raised in California, lived in LA for like the last nine years before moving to D.C.

california Democrats demonized the oil and gas industry.

They wanted to placate the environmental lobby, the green lobby.

They even put some refineries, even said they'd rather eat the financial loss and just move out of state.

$1 billion they're going to spend to shut down rather than stay in business in California.

So the political shapeshifter chameleon, who went after the gas and oil industry for years and years and years is now shape shapeshifting into going after Donald Trump for high gas prices when he purposely wanted high gas prices to force people into EVs $0.61 per gallon gas tax.

And of course, he also wanted to make it so that you had to have these ridiculous mileage standards that no car could ever reach to get you out of your gas cars.

Could you imagine that with all this turbulence in the Middle east as they're talking about all this oil being imported into California and how dependent it is on these foreign countries, which is just such a travesty.

But if we didn't have, I mean, thank God Trump ended the war in energy.

Imagine how much worse it would be, right, if we didn't have America's natural gas and oil supply the way it is right now.

If people like Newsom and the left had their way, we would be so up the river, not to mention the American ingenuity and engineering it took in order to get fracking.

I encourage everyone to follow the Oil and Gas association on X.

It's very funny and very clever and I wish I'd had when I was press secretary.

Melissa, you know, bigger picture on Gavin Newsom.

I mean, he might be a frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic nomination, but

he brings with him this huge bunch of baggage from California.

This is a preview of what's to come across the board.

He wants to complain about gas prices, will explain why California on average has $2 more per gas gallon than any other state in the country.

You want to complain about affordability, explain why you have the highest taxes in the country.

You want to talk about making things livable and good for your residents.

Well, why does California have the number one out migration?

So this is the the story that's going to continue following around Gavin Newsom if he does decide to make that leap.

Which is why ultimately, while he may be leading in the polls right now, I think that he's got early front runner status and you're going to see that support erode as he gets a closer look.

We want to ask you guys about the recent attempted terror attack here in New York with these two ISIS inspired individuals.

I'm sure you guys saw the absolutely ridiculous post from cnn.

If we can pull that up right now, here's how they described it.

Quote, Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day, enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.

But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change.

The pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti mus protest outside of Mayor Mamdani's home.

So obviously they got all sorts of blowback.

Honestly, I didn't even think it was real when I first saw it.

And I clicked on it and I saw the check mark, I said, wow.

They had to put out a correction that says in part, quote, a post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City.

Mayor Zoran Mamdani's home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident, thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all of our reporting.

Rich, we'll give you the first bite here.

It's like, yeah, a couple guys on a beautiful day, spoiled rich brats from PA Go to New York.

They catch a show, they get some pretzels, got a little food poisoning from New York City street hot dog.

How out of freaking touch can you be if you're CNN to write it like that?

Like it just, it just happened upon them.

Like they weren't, you know, they just happened to throw bombs.

They're doing this to make these guys seem like heroes.

They wanted to Say that they came across a white supremacist rally and they decided to take action.

And I know we're hiding behind the fact that it's so tone deaf, but

really, when you think about it, some Gen Z or Millennial or somebody wrote that thinking that these guys were on the side of right.

And then Abby Phillips, later on that night, she had this tease on her show, watch Muslims don't belong here after an attempted terror attack against New York's Mayor Zoran Mamdani.

And the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, says nothing really to condemn those comments.

Okay, so this was not an attack on Mamdani.

She said, I want to correct something I said last night.

That the bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti Muslim protestors and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani.

The wording was inaccurate and I didn't catch it ahead of time.

I give a lot of grace for people doing that.

But as those words are leaving your mouth, do you not think, oh, my gosh, what is happening?

also, it was on top of the earlier CNN screw up, which that's generous to call it a screw up, because to your point, was it intentional?

It's almost as if the media covering this entire thing has devolved into parody.

You had to read five paragraphs into the New York Times story over the weekend to figure out what which side threw the bomb.

You had Zoram Hamdami going out and going aggressively against the white supremacists who were doing the initial protests and barely got to the people who were throwing the bombs.

And still, I don't think, has called it terrorism.

So across the board, from the media and from the mayor of the city of New York, you're seeing a really troubling pattern in how this is being covered and the bias underneath it.

And so I think it all needs to be called out.
