WHO WROTE THE TWEET NEEDS TO,
QUOTE, TAKE E-CON 101.
I WANT TO BRING IN HOUSE FOREIGN
AFFAIR MEMBER CLAUDIA TENNE,
GOOD MORNING, THOSE RETAIL ARE
GASOLINE OWNERS, 60% OF RETAIL
GAS STATIONS ARE OWNED BY MOM
AND POP BUSINESSES OR FAMILIES
AND THEY ARE SCRATCHING THEIR
HEADS ON THIS NEW BIDEN
DIRECTIVE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
>> IT’S ECONOMICALLY ILLITERATE,
MOST OF THE GAS STATIONS DON’T
MAKE MONEY ON THE GAS.
THE PRICE IS WITH COMMODITY.
MANY OF THEM DON’T PRODUCE
ANYTHING BUT THEY HAVE TO CREATE
SNACKS AND OTHER THINGS THEY
SELL IN THE CONVENIENT IN ORDER
TO MAKE ANY KIND OF PROFIT AT
ALL JUST BECAUSE IN MANY CASES
THEY ARE NOT MAKING MONEY
PARTICULARLY WITH THIS, YOU
KNOW, WITH THE PRICE OF GAS NOT
BEING PART OF THEIR STREAM.
SO SAME THING WITH FARMERS.
THEY DON’T GET TO DETERMINE THE
PRICE OF MILK.
IT’S DETERMINED BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT OR DETERMINED BY
ANOTHER ENTITY.
TO THINK THAT THE BUSINESSES
SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO MAKE
PROFIT EVEN THOUGH IT’S SMALL IN
ORDER TO PAY EMPLOYEES TO COVER
THE COSTS OF REGULATIONS
ESPECIALLY IN STATES LIKE NEW
YORK AND CALIFORNIA AND THE TAXES ARE REALLY HIGH, SO IT’S
TAXES ARE REALLY HIGH, SO IT’S
ECONOMICALLY ILLITERATEY AGAIN
FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN.
CHERYL: LOOK, WHAT THEY ARE
PAYING FOR AND THIS IS WHAT
CONGRESSWOMAN IS TALKING ABOUT
FREIGHT, LABOR, CREDIT CARD
FEES, ANGELA, THEY ARE GETTING
HIT WITH THAT.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
IT’S NOT JUST ECONOMICS BUT HOW
GAS STATIONS WORK.
I QUESTION HOW THEY ACTUALLY
THINK IT OPERATES.
THERE’S LIKE OWNERS GET UP AND
DECIDE HOW GREEDY THEY WANT TO
PAY.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
PAINTED INTO A CORNER TO SUSPEND
FEDERAL GAS TAX AND IF THEY
SUSPEND GAS TAX NOW DO YOU THINK
IN THEIR WORLD VIEW THAT THEY
WOULD BE ENABLING THE SO-CALLED
GREED THAT THEY THINK IS OUT
THERE IN THE WORLD?
>> THIS IS A PROBLEM.
THIS IS A TEMPORARY MEASURE AND,
OF COURSE, THEY ARE DOING THIS
IN NEW YORK STATE AND WE WILL
LIFT THE GAS TAX.
IT DIDN’T CHANGE MUCH.
THE PRICE OF GAS IS OVER $5, NOW
4.90 IN THE REGION WHERE I AM.
WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION UP HERE IN
BEAUTIFUL UPSTATE NEW YORK WHERE
WE ARE THE BREAD BASKET OF NEW
YORK AND THAT’S WHERE THE
FARMERS ARE AND THIS IS WHERE WE
ARE NOT GETTING NATURAL GAS, THE
PRICE OF FERTILIZER IS HIGH EVEN
THOUGH WE HAVE ACCESS TO THESE
THINGS.
THEY ARE ALL BEING CUT OFF AND
WHEN YOU DO COSMETIC FIX LIKE
TEMPORARILY CHANGE THE GAS TAX,
YOU’RE ONLY ENCOURAGING HIGHER
GAS PRICES AND YOU’RE ONLY
MAKING IT HARDER AND HARDER FOR
CONSUMERS AND ALSO NOT ONLY THE
SMALL BUSINESSES BUT FARMERS AS
WELL TO SURVIVE.
THIS IS WHAT THEY DON’T
UNDERSTAND.
IT’S THE BASIC PRINCIPALS OF
SHUTTING OFF OUR ENERGY
INDEPENDENCE AND SHUTTING OFF
OUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE AND
ABILITY TO DRIVE DOWN PRICE.
WHEN YOU HAVE MORE COMPETITION
AND YOU HAVE MORE ABUNDANT
SUPPLY YOU WILL HAVE THE PRICE
DOWN AND YOU WILL HAVE BETTER
QUALITY.
THEY JUST DON’T LOOK AT THIS
FROM AN ECONOMIC VIEWPOINT LIKE
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS HAVE TO
AND MUST IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.
CHERYL: THAT’S SHOWING UP IN THE
POLLS, YOU HAVE HARRIS POLL THAT
71% OF AMERICANS DON’T BELIEVE
THAT BIDEN SHOULD RUN FOR
REELECTION AND 35% SAID HE’S A
BAD PRESIDENT AND YOU’VE SAID
BEFORE HE’S OUT OF TOUCH.
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK THIS PRESIDENT IS JUST
SHOWING HE’S IGNORANT, ELITIST
AND ALSO CORRUPT.
I THINK IT’S NOT A MATTER OF
AGE, I MET A 100-YEAR-OLD AT
AMAZING PARADE AND THIS GUY WAS
INCREDIBLE WALKING AROUND
HANDING OUT CANDY IN A PARADE.
THIS IS A 100-YEAR-OLD VETERAN.
IT’S AMAZING.
IT’S NOT HIS AGE, ILLITERACY AND
NO DEMOCRAT IS LOOKING TO JOE
BIDEN WITH THESE CRATERING POLL
NUMBERS TO PROP UP CAMPAIGN
CONTRAST WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP.
PEOPLE ARE LACKING FOR HIS
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN ORDER THE WIN
PRIMARIES AND IN ORDER TO GAIN
AN EDGE OVER THEIR COMPETITION.
THIS ISN’T HAPPENING WITH
PRESIDENT BIDEN BECAUSE PEOPLE
SEE IT, YOU CAN’T HIDE IN PLAIN
VIEW THE PROBLEMS THAT EVERYDAY
AMERICANS ARE SEEING REGARDLESS
OF PARTY.
THIS GUY IS A DISASTER AND THE
BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE NOT ONLY ARE THEY
FOCUSING ON WRONG POLICIES, THEY
DON’T HAVE A BENCH.
THEY DON’T HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN
TAKE THE PLACE OF JOE BIDEN,
KAMALA HARRIS IS A DISASTER,
THEY FORCED BERNIE SANDERS, A
SELF-PROCLAIMED COMMUNIST OUT.
WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO?
THEY ARE IN A REAL PICKLE.
CHERYL: REAL QUICK BEFORE YOU
GO, WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF TIME,
I HAVE TO ASK YOU WHAT’S
HAPPENING WITH GOVERNOR HOCHUL,
SHE JUST SIGNED A NEW GUN
CONTROL BILL AFTER SUPREME COURT
RULING.
LOOK, OUR STATE AND I LIVE HERE
TOO, WE HAVE SOME OF THE
TOUGHEST GUN LAWS OR WE HAD SOME
OF THE TOUGHEST GUN LAWS IN THE
COUNTRY AND WE STILL HAVE
SKYROCKETING CRIME IN OUR CITY
AND IN OUR STATE, YOUR REACTION?
>> YEAH, INCREDIBLE.
THIS BILL -- THIS CASE ACTUALLY,
THE CASE THAT JUSTICE THOMAS,
THE BREWING CASE ORIGINATED IN
NEW YORK FROM PEOPLE TRYING TO
GET A CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT TO
TRY TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS AS
EMPHASIZED BY JUSTICE THOMAS.
KATHY HOCHUL IS JUST TAKING
RIGHTS AWAY.
THIS IS A HYPOCRITICAL
POLITICIAN WHO RAN IN A
REPUBLICAN SEAT AND HAD AN A
RATING FROM NRA AND NOW HAS AN F
AND NOW IS JUST LOOKING FOR THE
KNEE-JERK REACTION TO TAKE
LAWFUL GUN OWNERS’ RIGHTS AWAY
WHEN THE PROBLEM IS WHY DON’T WE
CRACK ON UNLAWFUL CRACK DOWN ON
PEOPLE BRINGING GUNS INTO THE
COMMUNITY.
THEY ARE NOT BEING PROSECUTED.
THAT HE AREN’T PROSECUTING ON
ANYONE IN NEW YORK.
THAT’S WHY YOU’RE DEALING WITH
MAJOR CRIME WAVE.
THEY ARE ATTACKING THE LAWFUL
GUN OWNERS AND I THINK THAT HER
NEW GUN LAWS ACTUALLY VIOLATE
THE SUPREME COURT’S RULE AND
THERE COULD BE INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
AND POSSIBILITY OF UPHOLDING
THAT SUPREME COURT DECISION TO
PROTECT LAWFUL GUN OWNERS ACROSS
NEW YORK.
CHERYL: IT’LL BE INTERESTING.
WE WILL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR
