Retired Lt. General Mark Hertling and geopolitics analyst Bobby Ghosh stated there is a 'zero percent' chance that gas prices will drop or the Iran war will end after the midterms, directly contradicting President Trump's assertions. They discussed the complex and rapidly evolving conflict in the Middle East, including Houthi attacks, renewed fighting in Yemen, and the impact on Saudi Arabia and the United States' role.
