January 1, Energy Chief Fires Back at CNN Host Over Gas Price Claims

Wyatt’s Take

• Energy Secretary Chris Wright stood his ground when CNN tried to pin rising pump prices on President Trump.
• The real blame falls on Biden-era policies that choked domestic production and invited foreign dependence.
• Working families are tired of being told everything is fine while they pay more at the pump every week.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright pushed back hard during a live CNN segment when Dana Bash pressed him on whether the Trump administration had failed Americans at the gas pump.

“No, we haven’t.”

Wright pointed to the sharp contrast between the current energy approach and the previous administration’s restrictions on drilling and pipelines. He noted that reversing those policies has already started to restore American production and reduce reliance on unstable foreign suppliers.

Viewers watching at home have felt the difference in their wallets. Many families across the heartland remember filling up for far less just a few years ago before the last set of rules drove prices higher.

“No, we haven’t.”

Wyatt Matters

Hard-working Americans deserve straight answers about why their fuel costs keep climbing and real leadership that puts domestic energy first instead of chasing foreign climate goals.
