A random American at a Florida gas station perfectly summed up President Joe Biden’s biggest problem while speaking Monday live on MSNBC.

William Hurtabo was topping off his car with gas and talking to an MSNBC reporter, explaining how amid record high gas prices, his family has been forced to “restrategize” their budget.

“I’m sure it hurts other people’s pockets more than others. For mine, we adjusted,” who said while speaking on “Katy Tur Reports.”

Hurtabo said his primary concern is rising gas prices.

“Do you feel like there’s a sense there’s someone to blame out there? If you had to blame anyone, could you?” the reporter asked.

“I don’t like to get political but I would say, you know, it starts from the top, the president,” Hurtabo said.

Tur then asked the reporter to ask Hurtabo whether or not his vote would be influenced in the upcoming midterms given the gas prices.

“Two-prong question. The fact that we are seeing gas prices impact people’s pocketbooks so much right now, would that change how you’re considering voting for the next election, congressional later this year or presidential a couple years down the road?”

“Definitely,” Hurtabo said. “One administration had cheaper gas and this administration has more expensive gas.”

“And this is a bottom line strictly financial conclusion for you?” the reporter asked.

“It’s a housing market, it’s everything you previously mentioned. Gas is a big part of it but, I mean, right now we’re house hunting and that seems impossible.”

Tur then asked the reporter to ask Hurtabo whether he would consider trading in his car for an electric vehicle. (RELATED: These 10 States Had The Most Expensive Gas Over Memorial Day Weekend)

“When this lease is up, my wife and I thought about going electric. We just have to look at the budget and how expensive going electric is. The technology is very pricey,” Hurtabo said.

The average national gas price rose overnight to a new record, nearing closer to $5 per gallon. The American Automobile Association reported the average price of gas nationwide sat at $4.92 while the average price of diesel was $5.68. One year ago the national average was $3.05.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
