1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: If you woke up this morning and you went to 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: get gas, you are paying the highest price we've ever 3 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: paid in the history of this country for gasoline. It's 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: more than yesterday, by the way, and there's no end 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: in sight. We also now know that the president of the 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: the United States of America is so weak that even 7 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and the UAE leaders are purposefully ignoring Joe 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: Biden's phone calls to talk about oil production. And Joe 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: Biden is lying to the country, so are his advisors. 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: One of his advisors, standing in front of the White 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: House this morning, said this to you if you're struggling 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: to cover your bills. What I can tell you, though, Willie, 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: is even if we drilled as much as we could, 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: the price of oil is still set globally demand and 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: supply conditions, and much of that supply is controlled by 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: tyrants like Pooding. And again, that's why we have resolved 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: to speed our transition towards cleaner, more sustainable, and renewable 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: sources of energy. There it is, We're gonna lie to you. 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: Even if we drilled as much as we could, it 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't affect the price of oil. That's a lie. The 21 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: price of oil is set globally, that is true, and 22 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: the more supply we have, the lower the prices go. 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: How do you think the President of United States of America, 24 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, kept prices low for the entire four years 25 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: he was in office by actually being energy independent and yes, 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: putting our oil on the global market supply and watching 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: the numbers drop. Now the Biden administration is flat out 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: lying to you. Why are they doing this to exactly why? 29 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: Because they the Democrats, have an ideology that is based 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: on punishment for you. There's a very interesting point that 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: was made yesterday on Fox. Greg Gutfield said, the soaring 32 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: gas prices across the country aren't about what's happening Ukraine, 33 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: even though the present lied and yesterday said in Texas well, 34 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: the price of oil you need to blame Putin for that. 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: We know the prices have been going up since the 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: very first day was in office when he stopped the 37 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: Keystone XL pipeline. And he wants you to believe that 38 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: all of the high prices you're paying right now are 39 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: because of Russia and Ukraine and this conflict, this war, 40 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: this genocide as I would describe it. It's not that 41 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: Instead it is about an ideology of punishment until you submit. 42 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: They were discussing Biden and how he announced that he 43 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: was putting a stop quote to imports of Russian oil. 44 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: Why because he was responding too late to Russian present 45 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: Vitamir Putin invading Ukraine on February the twenty fourth. The 46 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: panel discussed how Biden is now trying to blame Russia 47 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: for the surgeon gas prices, even though only eight percent 48 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: of imports into this country are coming from Russia. This 49 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: could easily be absorbed if we were willing to roll more. Yes, 50 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: even if we hit up Canada for more oil, it 51 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: could help. But what this is about is the President 52 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: is framing the increase in cost of the pump has 53 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: quote a hardship that you, as an American must accept. 54 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: Biden said, defending freedom comes at a cost, and that 55 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: is not true. It's not true. It's the environmental clap 56 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: trap that comes at a cost. This is not about freedom. 57 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: There would be no cost if we didn't demonize drilling, 58 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: which is exactly what the left and Joe Biden have done. 59 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: If we didn't demonize pipelines, we wouldn't be shutting them down. 60 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: But that's what the left is done. If we didn't 61 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: demonize in general, or the left didn't demonize in general 62 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: fossil fuels, we wouldn't be in the scenario we are 63 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: right now. So it is not about defending Ukraine. It's 64 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: about exposing the destructiveness of the green ideology, which is 65 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: part of a larger ideology of punishment rich countries. Their 66 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: mentality is, can handle this, just pay more for gas. 67 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: It's the poor countries that are going to suffer, and 68 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: it's going to be poor people in the United States 69 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: of America that are suffering the most. So let's go 70 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: to late night TV for a moment. Late night TV 71 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: is mocking you. One of the hosts last night of 72 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: one of the late shows thought it would be funny 73 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: to tell you that he can pay fifteen dollars a 74 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: gallon for gas. He doesn't care why, because he's got 75 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: a tesla. Stephen Colbert on the US ban on Russian oil. 76 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: Take that vlad America doesn't need your klepto crude is 77 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: apparently the only way you need to describe it. This 78 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: is how ignorant the left actually is as they try 79 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: to sell this insanity. Now, Jimmy fallon on McDonald's closing 80 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: in Russia, saying quote, we don't want their oil and 81 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: they can't have our Greece, referring to McDonald's again. This 82 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: is all funny, right, This is all hilarious. Everybody just 83 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: laugh about it. Nothing to see here, It's all okay. 84 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: And this is what the left actually believes. They believe 85 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: that you have an obligation to suck it up and 86 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,559 Speaker 1: go buy your fifty sixty seventy thousand dollars electric car, 87 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: and they're going to punish you until you do it, 88 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: because the Democratic Party is an ideology of punishment for 89 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: those that don't submit. It's no different than what we 90 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: just experienced with all the COVID, which is all of 91 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: a sudden just disappeared with fauci. Have you noticed that 92 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: Because there's an election coming, this isn't about defending Ukraine, 93 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: this isn't about Vladimir Putin. This is about forcing you 94 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: to pay more, and this is their opportunity to do it. 95 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 1: Twitter celebrities like George Taki are now saying you should 96 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: just pay more, and they're claiming that you should pay 97 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: more to quote support Ukraine. Well, guess what these scumbags 98 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: aren't truckers, they're not salesmen, they're not uber drivers. This 99 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: is the same detached mentality that we found ourselves with 100 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: the shutdowns. Everybody could handle a shutdown if they were 101 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: in the media, right because in the Hollywood movie stars 102 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: and the rich elie like Joe Biden, because everybody did 103 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: their jobs from home, from their living rooms. These are 104 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: the same people that tell us to live with it. 105 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: These are the same people, by the way, that can 106 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: live with anything. This is why you have arrogant people 107 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: in late night TV that say you can raise old 108 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: of fifteen dollars a gallon. It didn't bother me, right, 109 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: because they make millions of dollars and they drive a Tesla. 110 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: So it's either climate change or COVID or inflation. They 111 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: don't care. They want you to submit. There's an ideology 112 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: of punishment for those that don't submit, and if you 113 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: can't handle the punishment, that's your fault, because they are 114 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: in fact above it. Now the media is clamoring for 115 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: Biden to pass out more permits and leases right to 116 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: fix the costs at the pump, because they understand that 117 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: the American people are starting to wake up to this 118 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,559 Speaker 1: and saying this is absurd. Yet at the same time 119 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: they're telling Americans that there's nothing and they're allowing this 120 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: propaganda to be put out there, that there's nothing that 121 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: we could do to change this or fix this. So 122 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: let's go back to how weak we are as a country. 123 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: Let's look at Saudi Arabia and the UAE leaders. They 124 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: are ignoring Biden when he's calling to talk to them 125 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: about gas prices. We now have confirmation that the leaders 126 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: of Saudi Arabia and the United Air of Emrates wouldn't 127 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: pick up the phone when President Biden try to call 128 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: them to discuss boosting oil exports to offset hikes linked 129 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. According to new reports, we're 130 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: being told that the Saudi Crown Prince and the UAE 131 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: Chik declined Biden's attempts to an outreach to them. The 132 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal has reported and confirmed there was some 133 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: expectation of a phone call, but it didn't happen. A 134 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: US official confirmed to the newspaper quote it was part 135 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: of a turning on the spicket of Saudi oil campaign. 136 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: I remember yesterday I told you, and it's in our podcast. 137 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: If you missed it about us releasing the twentieth hijacker 138 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: from Guantanamo Bay back to Saudi Arabia. You want to 139 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: know why we did that. It's because we now need 140 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: Saudi to give us more oil, and Saudi Arabia wanted 141 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: that terrorist back. Now. Biden, acting like he's doing some 142 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: great thing. On Tuesday morning, banned Russian oil imports and 143 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: said gasoline prices quote would increase even more after hitting 144 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: an all time high of four hours and seventeen cents 145 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: per gallon on average nationwide. And he said, look, it's 146 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: just going to happen if you either. There's not much 147 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: else I can do. That's a lie. We could open 148 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: the Keystone pipeline, we could do so much more. But instead, 149 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: what is Biden doing. He's attempting to woo an array 150 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: of horrific dictators around the country, around the world, I 151 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: should say, including a Ran Saudi Arabia Venezuela to offset 152 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: the impact of Russian invasion of Ukraine on energy markets, 153 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: not having energy independence because he doesn't want that. Because 154 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: I go back to what I said a moment ago, 155 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: this is the Democratic Party's ideology of punishment. It is 156 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: no different than cancel culture. It's no different than COVID 157 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: nineteen lockdowns. There is an ideology of theirs that is 158 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: of punishment until you submit. There's also another aspect of 159 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: this entire story right now, and it's a media play. 160 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: I guess with a White House, they're trying to convince 161 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: you through the media that there's certain things they just 162 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: can't controlling, they can't do anything about. Joe Biden literally 163 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: shrugged off high gas prices yesterday saying, quote, I can't 164 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: do much right now. All right, So let's talk about 165 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: the facts real quick. For a guy that says it 166 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: can't do much right now, and for a White House 167 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: that says they can't control the price of gas, and 168 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: even if we were drilling more in America, it would 169 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: have no impact on gas prices. Let's do a little comparison. 170 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, under Biden, America produced one point 171 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: one million barrels of oil per day, less than twenty 172 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: nineteen when Donald Trump was the present one point one 173 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: million barrels less per day. Now, to be clear, since 174 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: we're producing less than less oil one point one million 175 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: barrels per day than we did in two in nineteen, 176 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: you may want to know how many barrels on average 177 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: are we bringing into this country from Russia Russian oil. 178 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: We're only bringing in two hundred nine thousand barrels of 179 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: Russian all a day. So if you do two hundred 180 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: and nine thousand barrels of Russian all a day and 181 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: you take that away from one point one, that means 182 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: there's still about nine hundred thousand barrels of oil a 183 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: day that we are still producing less if we also 184 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: compensated for Russia. Just think if Biden would let us 185 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: produce those one point one million barrels again, then America 186 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: doesn't need a single drop of oil from Russia, or 187 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: Venezuela for that matter, or anyone else. But this goes 188 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: back to what I told you. The Democratic Party is 189 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: an ideology of punishment, and they will punish you until 190 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: you get in line. Head of Gas Buddy, which is 191 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: an app that follows gas prices, has actually now come 192 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: out saying we need to quote you need to cur 193 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: herb right your oil consumption. This goes back to what 194 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: I said. They want you to be punished until you 195 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: submit to go get that car that they demand, or 196 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: put on a coat in your house and stop getting 197 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: the heating oil. If you don't like the prices, then 198 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 1: you need to become energy independent. The head of gas 199 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: Bunnies now gas Buddies now calling for Americans to curb 200 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: their oil consumption. You look at what's going on in 201 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: Ukraine and how the Ukrainians are all banning together as 202 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: a country, We as Americans, can do the same thing 203 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: by curbing our oil consumption at least for a couple 204 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: of months on because you know what, that's probably better 205 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: than going to Venezuela. I've talked to those in the 206 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: Permian basin. Then they cannadas. So many supply challenges. I mean, 207 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: this guy, and this is part of what I've been saying. 208 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: You got gas prices now hitting the most expensive in 209 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: US history, breaking records from two thousand and eight, when 210 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: oddly enough, another Democrat was in office by the name 211 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: of Barack Obama. And now you've got these elitist out there. Well, 212 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: if you guys just band together, If you'll just band together. 213 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: It sounds like the same thing they answer to do 214 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: with COVID, Right, if you'll just help us stop the 215 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: you know the curve, right for two weeks, stop the 216 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: spread for two weeks. Just wear those masks for two weeks, 217 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: shut down your businesses for two weeks, take your kids 218 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: out of the schools for two weeks. Cancel everything for 219 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: two weeks. Then everything will be fine. It's all you 220 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: gotta do two weeks to flatten the curve. Right, remember that, 221 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: take everyone's freedom away from them, and be a team player. 222 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: And if you don't, then you're trying to kill us. Right. 223 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: If you don't, you're trying to kill all Americans. Right, 224 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: you're trying to kill grandma. If you just, you know, 225 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: if you'll just be a team player like the people 226 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and don't go see grandma. Right, If you 227 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: just be a team player and start realizing that you 228 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: need to go get you a vest buck, be a 229 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: team player, and you need to start ride sharing to work. 230 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: Be a team player and suck it up and turn 231 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: your heat down, then everything will be just fine. And 232 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: they're lying to you. They're telling you that this president 233 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: can't do anything. As president is telling you they can't 234 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: do anything. Right. Instead of addressing gas prices, the BUYD 235 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: administration wants you to buy price electric cars. Hannity talked 236 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: about this last night spot on about this again ideology 237 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: a punishment you will suffer until you agree with the 238 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: way we tell you to live your life. Eero emissions 239 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: clean transportation can bring significant cost savings for the American 240 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: people as well. Last month, we announced a five billion 241 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: dollar investment to build that a nationwide electric vehicle charging 242 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: a network so the people from rural to suburban to 243 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: urban communities can all benefit. So we're going to put 244 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: five billion dollars right now, not into energy independence, but 245 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: into charging stations so you can drive around the country 246 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: while we tell you to go buy that fifty to 247 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars electric vehicle. From the gas savings of 248 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: driving an EV. As long as rural imagining, imagine America 249 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: at a strong president, vice president, and a transportation secretary 250 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: that had a little bit of life experience, this would 251 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: be great for Tesla. I'm intrigued by Elon Musk. I 252 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: love innovation, I love new technology, and it's very expensive. 253 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: If people can't put the gas in their car, I 254 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: doubt they can afford some of these vehicles. So instead 255 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: of taking steps to lower gas prices, they just want 256 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: you all to go out and buy a pricey new 257 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: electric car. Look at your screen. By the way, this 258 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: is a great car. A friend of mine actually has one, 259 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: a Tesla Model three that'll run you about fifty grand. 260 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm told from my friend he really loves it. The 261 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: new Ford Mustang electric car that costs about forty five grand. 262 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: The Chevy Bolt not exactly the most impressive car that 263 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: I'd want to drive, but that's thirty grand, just to 264 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: name a few. And by the way, don't forget, after 265 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: you buy the car, you might have to install a 266 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: pricey home charging station that'll cost you a lot. And 267 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: for example, in New York, and installation can cost between 268 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: two and ten thousand dollars from parts and labor. Whoopsie daisy, 269 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: Maybe some people who choose to pay the high gas prices. Now, 270 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: could these far left lunatics be any more tone deaf? 271 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: They are that out of touch. They don't seem to care, 272 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: completely disconnected from reality. They'd rather have higher inflation than 273 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: drill here, drill now and save money. They'd rather literally 274 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: push our allies into Putin's arms than to drill here, 275 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: drill now, frac here, frac now, and supply their energy needs. 276 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: You know the reaction Fox. By the way, I do 277 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: think that this is they're not detached from reality. I 278 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: disagree with that statement. This is the ideology of punishment 279 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: when you're filling up your car with five dollars gallon gas. 280 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is the one that banned drilling unfederallyland the 281 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: day came into office. Joe Biden's the one that signed 282 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: the executive order to close the Keystone Pipeline the day 283 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: he came into office. Joe Biden is the one that 284 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: came in and gave putin a pipeline to Europe. Joe 285 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: Biden's the guy that's calling thee and the guy who's 286 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: calling Saudi Arabia and releasing the twentieth hijacker of nine 287 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: eleven from Gitmo to beg them for more oil because 288 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 1: he refuses to drill here. Saudi Crown prints and the 289 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: UAE chic declined the President of the United States of 290 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: America's phone calls, and then Biden says, well, there's nothing 291 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: we can do here right can't do much right now. 292 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: Yesterday afternoon in Texas on the tarmac, he was asked 293 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: about this and what the American people can need to know, 294 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: and he said he can't do much right now to 295 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: stop prices gas prices from increasing. Biden now is attempting 296 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: to woo an array of the worst dictators and tyrants 297 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: people that commit genocide in the world, including Iran, including 298 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, including Venezuela, where he sent a secret delegation 299 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: to go meet with Mdura to offset the impact of 300 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: Russians in vage of Ukraine on the energy markets. We're 301 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: now being told that Biden apparently is considering a trip 302 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: to Saudi Arabia this spring to resolve quote hard feelings 303 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: with a country's in fact a ruler who the US 304 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: intelligence community believes ordered the twenty eighteen operation of dismembering 305 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: a Washington Post calumnists with a bone saw. You may 306 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: remember that story. We're also being told the US diplomats 307 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: are working to broker a new nuclear deal with a 308 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: Ran in exchange for sanctions relief, and other diplomats have 309 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: been dispatched to smooth over another riff with Venezuela's socialist 310 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: strongman Maduro, who, by the way, the US government does 311 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: not even recognize the country's legitimate ruler because we shouldn't, 312 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: but apparently we may change that status. Biden canceled that 313 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: construction of the Keison XO pipeline last year, attempted to 314 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: halt all new drilling permits on public land last year, 315 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: and now Biden's having to signal a change in tone 316 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: towards Saudi Arabia after taking office, with drawing US support 317 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: for the Saudi led intervention Yeoman Civil War. It's the 318 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: same guy that didn't sanction the Crown Prince after the 319 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: murder of that Washington Post and the dismemberment of the 320 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: Washington Post writer. And now they're not even taking our 321 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: phone calls because they realize that when you have an 322 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: ideology of punishment with this administration, they own you something 323 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: else that Biden's also doing right now, which is just 324 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: a lie, as he's also blaming oil companies for these 325 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: price hikes, and that means the next option would be 326 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: for him to do basically price manipulation, and if that happens, 327 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: you get us back into the scenario we ran back 328 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: in the late nineteen seventies when we actually tried to 329 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: do that, Jimmy Carter tried to do it. It It was 330 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: a disaster, and everybody knows that that was a disaster, 331 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: and now that's what he's talking about at this moment. 332 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: So everybody's a bad guy. But him right. Biden's advisor 333 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: also went on TV today said no amount of domestic 334 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: production would reduce gas prices, and we need to transition, again, 335 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: forcing you into submission, saying we must transition. You just 336 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: need to get over it. You need to insulate your 337 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: house better. You need to go buy this electric car, 338 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: and you just spend the five ten grand and put 339 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: the charging station in your house, and you just need it. 340 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 1: Stuck it up, America. The medium and long term, I 341 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: think it's the path and the trajectory is clear. There 342 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: is no amount of domestic production that we can do 343 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: when we are dealing with a volatile global commodity where 344 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: the price is set globally. There's no amount of domestic 345 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 1: production we can do to reduce or eliminate our vulnerability 346 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: as a country to that volatility. The only way to 347 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: do that is to reduce the energy intensity of the 348 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: economy overall, which means shifting to cleaner sources of energy. 349 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: Every one of these people saying this to you right 350 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: now are rich and they can afford it. Ted Cruz 351 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: came out saying that the Biden administration's energy policy is 352 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: not only incoherent, but even what they're making and the 353 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: dots are trying to connect. Just doesn't make any sense 354 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: at all. Home, there's a record setting pain at the pump, 355 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: getting worse by the day. Americans now pain an average 356 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: of four dollars and twenty five cents a gallon. That's 357 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: up a dollar forty six from the same time last year. Meanwhile, 358 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: President Biden announcing a plan to ban Russian oil imports 359 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: while eyeing other very problematic nations to fill a short fall. 360 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: Texas Senator Ted Cruiser, Republican on the Foreign Affairs Committee, 361 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: joins US now and one of the things that I 362 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: wanted to get your take on was when you're from Texas, 363 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: Senator from Texas, and when President Biden went to Texas yesterday, 364 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: he had just announced a ban on Russian oil. He 365 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: went and did an important event there about the burn 366 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: pits from Iraq, but he didn't meet with anybody in 367 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: Texas about domestic energy. You know, I got to say 368 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: this administration's policy when it comes to energy is completely incoherent. 369 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: President Biden started literally his first day in office basically 370 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: declaring war on domestic energy production. He shut down the 371 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: Keystone pipeline on the first day in office, killed eleven 372 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: thousand jobs, eight thousand union jobs. With a stroke of 373 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: a pen. He halted all new leasing on federal lands, 374 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: both onshore and offshore, and he stopped developed in an Anoir, 375 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: a small region of Alaska that is incredibly rich in 376 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: oil reserves. He shut them all down. His agencies have 377 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: been waging war on domestic production, and we've seen domestic 378 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,479 Speaker 1: production dropping and dropping and dropping, and bizarrely enough, Biden 379 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: combines that with being the best thing that ever happened 380 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: to Vladimir Putin, and the best thing that ever happened 381 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: to Iran, and the best thing that ever happened to Venezuela. 382 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: Last week, the Biden administration sent their officials to Venezuela 383 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: saying they want to buy oil from Nicholas Maduro. They're 384 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: in Vienna trying to negotiate a deal that they want 385 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: to buy oil from the Ayatola in Iran, and Biden 386 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: last year waves sanctions on the nord Stream Too natural 387 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: gas pipeline, which is what caused the invasion of Ukraine. 388 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: Their policy just makes no sense. Yeah, he's right, their 389 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: policy doesn't make any sense. But what I do know 390 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: is that people are waking up to this. New Yorkers 391 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: are waking up to this. They're angry. Listen to this 392 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: New York driver. Joe Biden says, you're polluting if you 393 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: don't drive an electric car. What do you have to say? 394 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: How am I gonna work? He needs to keep in 395 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: mind he's been rich forever. Like a lot of people, 396 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: can't just oh no, I'm just gonna switch to what teslo. 397 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: He better focus to the gas price, not about the pollution. 398 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: So if he's gonna support us and basically give us 399 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: some electric cars, I don't see why not. But yeah, 400 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: he can't give an nobody a cause it's pretty accepted 401 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: that we all plute. It's part of our lives. Everybody 402 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: else is you're pluting if you do a lot of things. 403 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't really care about it, and says, to be honest, 404 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden doesn't know what he's doing and what he's 405 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: doing to this country. Joe Biden, there it is blank, 406 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. These are New Yorkers, by the way, all 407 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: people at the gas pumps in New York getting gas. 408 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: And that's what they were saying to the news Sendor 409 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: Murphy though, Hey, this is all about and I go 410 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: back to it. It's an ideology of punishment, Sendor Murphy. 411 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: Only renewable energy can make American independent from dictators oil 412 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: that we're begging for their oil because we're not drilling 413 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: in America A supplies as as you note, it's only 414 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: a small slice of US energy needs, just eight percent. 415 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, in the second half of February, 416 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: the Department of Energy reported that imports dropped to zero 417 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: as US companies cut ties with Russia. So I guess 418 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: I wonder, given the fact that American companies were already 419 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: doing this, do you what do you say about this 420 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: band Was it necessary? Even was the free market already 421 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: doing that well? As the United States economy continues to 422 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: rev up, there was certainly going to be an increased 423 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: demand on energy consumption, and thus you always have the 424 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: possibility of private companies bringing in Russian energy. I think 425 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: it makes sense to have this policy on the books. 426 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: I just don't know that we should overhype its impact. Ultimately, 427 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: the broader sanctions that we have levied on Russian banks, 428 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: and news of all of these private companies from Starbucks 429 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: to Coca Cola to MasterCard pulling out of Russia that's 430 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: really where the primary impact is going to be. But 431 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: let's just admit the insanity of a US economy that 432 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: continues to run on oil that is provided to us 433 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: by dictators. The reality is, I love this. This is 434 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: a senator, a Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee saying 435 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: it's insane that we are running on oil as a 436 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: nation from dictators. Well, then why are you so against 437 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: us drilling in America? I agree with your premise there, 438 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: But then listen to the connection he makes after saying 439 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: that impact is going to be. But let's just admit 440 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: the insanity of a US economy that continues to run 441 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: on oil that is provided to us by dictators. The 442 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: reality is, if we're not getting this oil from Russia, 443 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: we're likely going to be importing more from another brutal 444 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: dictator in Saudi Arabia, for instance, or we may have 445 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: to go to Venezuela for oil. We should ultimately learn 446 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: our lesson here and become energy independent and choose to 447 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: invest in clean domestic energy so we never have to 448 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: choose between one dictator versus another. There it is, Yeah, 449 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: you just look, we gotta we gotta if we're we 450 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: gotta stop doing this folks right right, We to stop 451 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: getting oil from dictators in Saudi Arabia. For instance, we 452 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: may have to go to Venezuela. But let's let's be clear. 453 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: We need to learn our last send and become energy 454 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: independent by investing in clean domestic energy so that we 455 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: don't have to give this in any money of these 456 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: dictators anymore. So again, go buy the car we're telling 457 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: you to buy. Elitism right now is what this also is. 458 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert on soaring gas prices. Hell, I'll pay fifteen 459 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: dollars a gallon because I drive a test law. I'll 460 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: tell you what I will never complain about a destination 461 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: wedding again. Russia has been hit with a series of 462 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: crippling sanctions, and it looks like there's more to come, 463 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: because the US and its European allies are now discussing 464 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: banning imports of Russian oil. Take that boating. We're not 465 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: gonna buy our gas from a war craft. We're gonna 466 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: buy it from the good guys Saundy Arabia. But it's 467 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: gonna cost Since the invasion, oil prices have skyrocketed. Today, 468 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: the average gas price in America hit an all time 469 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: record high of over four dollars per gallon. Okay, that's things, 470 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: but a clean conscience is worth a bucker two. I'm 471 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: willing to pay. It's important. By the way, it's not 472 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: a bucker two, you toolbag. It's not a bucker two. 473 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert's not a buck or two. And you would 474 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: know that if you've gone to the gas station. One 475 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: hundred dollars instead of forty dollars is sixty dollars. These 476 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: people are horrible human beings because they don't care if 477 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: you suffer. Their ideology is a punishment until you do 478 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: what they tell you to do. And if you don't 479 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: think what he just said was it lead us an enough, 480 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: listen to how he ends it. I'm willing to pay 481 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: four dollars a gallon. Hell, I'll pay fifteen dollars a 482 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: gallon because I drive a Tesla. Right now, people all 483 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: over the world are trying to find inventive ways to 484 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: help ordinary Ukraine. I mean, I love this right, I'll 485 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: pay fifteen dollars. Hell, I'll pay fifteen dollars gallon because 486 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: I drive a Tesla and so should you. And on 487 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: the same day Secretary Transtation Mayor Pete was pillared for 488 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: touting electric vehicles a solution to rising gas prices. He 489 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: lauded the nationwide electric vehicle charging network that Biden administrations pushing, saying, 490 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: quote the America that Americans from role to urban to 491 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: suburban communities can all benefit from gas savings of driving 492 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: an electric vehicle. Center Tech Cruz fired back by saying, 493 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: tell me you're a liberal elite without telling me you're 494 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: a liberal elite. Yeah, we're gonna give you all those cars. Right, 495 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: you just gotta stop worrying about gas prices.
