gallon for regular, used, premium, diesel above $5.56 in most areas. it cost $40 to get half a tank. that is insane. and almost unheard of. so what is the deal here? when is this going to level out? do you see any end in sight? oh, gas is still kind of cheap them under $5 where i am in places like connecticut. that should be a no-go. >> that is not cheap! that is not cheap! we are nowhere near cheap and things will get worse. it is fairly obvious. we are coming into summer driving season. people want to get out, get into their cars and go places. demand is going to be high. they biden administration has done nothing, absolutely nothing to increase the supply, which means prices will go up. we will probably see $4.50 average in may and may be sooner

than that. we will be $5 in july when the driving season starts. unless something radically changes and china shuts down the economy again. but this is not going to get better anytime soon it would and political self sabotage with the biden administration. i cannot believe people have been in d.c. this long who understand how much gas prices matter to they were electoral prospects are completely cutting themselves out because everybody in america knows this administration has done nothing. it has been all fanfare, no results. >> todd: they were willing to sacrifice their political lives for the green new deal and makes no sense. elon musk says twitter is accusing them of violating nondisclosure agreement. legal will to complain i violated by the bot sample size is 100. this actually happen. using the bot sample size to price out the deal. i will not do the deal.

very confusing. later he said never thought it would be cheap. never try to acquire social media companies. what is next in the saga? >> i think elon musk wants a lower price for twitter. what he is doing is pressing on twitter soft underbelly. i don't think the people you think are on twitter are actually on twitter. this is bot, spam account, fake account. he wants to show that number is higher than twitter admit so he can pay a lower price for this thing. he knows he's buying a fixer upper. he doesn't want to buy something rotten to the core as he wants to get to the bottom of the user numbers. >> ashley: okay, brian brenberg, thank you to the take for that. hopefully you are wrong and you say we will seek gas over $5. listen -- >> i don't think i am come i'm sorry. i used to be right on this one. spooked dome asked >> ashley: thank you so much, we appreciate it.
