Pro-MAGA news network Real America's Voice pulled the plug on host Gina Loudon after she blamed the rising costs of fuel on President Donald Trump's war in Iran.On Thursday, co-host David Brody asked Loudon to comment on Trump's decision to order the U.S. military to fire on small Iranian boats, possibly breaking a fragile ceasefire agreement."Can we go to Terrence instead?" Loudon asked."My interpretation of this is this is President Trump's way of saying the ceasefire is over," co-host Terrence Bates volunteered. "Hey, Dr. Gina, I don't want to put you on the spot, even though I am, but I'm curious about your hesitance. You seem this morning at least a bit hesitant to talk about this.""I think your average American out there who's trying to, you know, get their family budget together and, you know, look at their, if they can take a vacation with their family this summer, with gas prices and things," Loudon explained. "And I know people don't want me to mention gas prices. That's become an attack on Trump, but gas prices are a real thing.""They're not just in our gas tank, but in our consumer goods, et cetera, et cetera," she continued. "And I think that they're not, they don't know from day to day whether in a ceasefire or not, because it changes every day."As Loudon spoke, she said the control room encouraged her to wrap up her remarks."And now I've said too much, and the producers are shutting me up," she admitted. "See, that's what happens when you wind me up and get me talking to you."
