fed up, just fill up and a president doubling down on relief he says will soothe the sting. but will it? we are all over it with peter doocy and a president yet again to tap the reserve for more oil a and colin mcshane on two races that could determine if the president succeeds or fails. and how he would put the saudis in their place. then, remembering this day 35 years ago today when a bull market was put in its place and capitalism itself seemed on the brink. funny thing, history. funnier thing, how they looked covering it back then. welcome, everybody. i am neil cavuto. this is your world, where we re ready to tap a reserve that s quickly running out of oil. that s a separate story. first, following the political impact. hey there, neil. there s a relationship between gas prices and electoral prospects. earlier this year, gas shoots up, the president and other democrats saw poll numbers plummet. over the summer, gas prices come down, suddenly the democrats are polling be
