Mark Levin MOCKS Americans Struggling With War Economy

Jun 03, 2026

Gas prices and inflation are climbing because of the US-Iran war, and it's squeezing American households hard — bad news for ordinary people, good news for almost no one except, the video argues, Israel.

  • The US-Iran war led Iran to block the Strait of Hormuz, where a big share of the world's oil passes, pushing gas and energy prices up.
  • Exxon expects oil to spike toward $150–160 a barrel within weeks once US emergency oil reserves run dry by late summer.
  • Inflation is rising faster than wages, so people are falling behind and the savings rate has crashed to one of its lowest levels in 65 years.
  • Over a third of Americans, including many earning $100,000+, now lean on credit cards or loans just to cover basics, and late payments are at a 15-year high.
  • Trump is also pushing new tariffs on 59 countries using a legal loophole after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier tariffs, which would add to prices.

Outlook: If the war drags on and oil reserves run out by the end of summer, gas prices and overall inflation are expected to get worse.
