Gas prices have declined for 50 straight days, and we now are seeing their biggest decline in a decade. In many areas of the country, prices are under $4 a gallon; at least one station has already put the price under $3 a gallon and more are poised to follow.

None of this is enough for Fox News hosts, though, who still single-handedly (and wrongly) blame the Biden administration for the spike in gas. In reality, there are many global causes as to why oil and gasoline prices are so volatile now.

AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Charles we've seen, since Biden got into office, gas prices just sky rocking. They've gone down a little bit lately and the White House is bragging about that, which is interesting because they're responsible for it going up. It goes down a little and now they brag about it.
