JOB AS ALWAYS.
LIKE THE ONLY ONE IN THAT ROOM
THAT ASKS SMART QUESTIONS.
WE APPRECIATED.
WITH REACTION, FORMER ENERGY
SECTOR SECRETARY RICK PERRY.
GOVERNOR, S2 LAST TIME, -- I
ASKED HER LESS TIME, IF WE
INCLUDE OIL, GAS, COAL, HE SAID
WELL OVER 100 YEARS.
WITH NEW EXAMPLES, SHALE, IS A
POSSIBLY MUCH LONGER THAN THAT?
>> POTENTIALLY, AND WHEN YOU ADD
SMALL MODULAR REACTORS IN THERE,
IT’S FOR LONGER THAN ANYONE HAS
LOOKED INTO THE FUTURE.
SEAN, WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING AS
SOON AS WE SAW THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION START PUTTING A
STOP TO OUR FOSSIL FUEL
PRODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES.
WE KNEW THAT THE RUSSIANS WERE
GOING TO USE ENERGY AS A WEAPON.
WE TALKED ABOUT IT ADD NONCM
OVER IN EUROPE WHEN WE WERE
DELIVERING AMERICAN LIQUEFIED
NATURAL GAS.
WE WERE BASICALLY CALLING IT
FREEDOM GAS. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.
WE ARE SEEING THE REALITY OF
RECKLESS DISREGARD OF REALITY,
AND THAT’S WHAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION IS DOING.
RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR REALITY.
THE REALITY WAS, WHEN YOU GAVE
THE RUSSIANS THE WEAPON OF
ENERGY, THEY WERE GOING TO USE
IT, AND LET ME TELL YOU -- I’LL
GIVE YOU A GREAT EXAMPLE.
ALEX NOVAK WAS THE FORMER
MINISTER OF ENERGY.
I MET WITH HIM WHILE I WAS HIS
COUNTERPART AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
ENERGY AS THE SECRETARY OF
ENERGY.
AND HE HAS NOW BECOME A
PRIME MINISTER, AND HE LITERALLY
SAID YESTERDAY, I BELIEVE, IF
SANCTIONS WERE PUT INTO PLACE,
THAT THEY WOULD CUT THE GAS INTO
THE EUROPEAN UNION.
EXACTLY WHAT WE TOLD THE MEMBERS
OF THE EUROPEAN UNION THAT THEY
WOULD DO IF THEY FINISHED THAT
NORDSTROM TO PIPELINE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP STOOD UP, HAD
THE GUMPTION AND THE VISION TO
SAY, WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO
THAT, WE ARE GOING TO SANCTION
THESE FOLKS IF IT GOES FORWARD,
AND IT GAVE EUROPE A REAL TASTE
OF INDEPENDENCE FROM RUSSIAN
PRESSURE, AND NOW THEY ARE BACK
IN THE SIGHTS OF PUTIN, AND HE
IS SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER.
>> Sean: LET ME ASK YOU,
GOVERNOR, MR. SECRETARY, LET ME
ASK YOU THIS.
HE HEARD PETER DOOCY SAY THAT
THE LEFT HAS -- THEY WANT A
FOSSIL FUEL-FREE AMERICA, SO
THEY ARE WILLING -- THEY ARE
FORCING AMERICA TO NEGOTIATE
WITH SOME OF THE MOST HOSTILE
REGIMES IN THE WORLD.
LITERALLY IT NOW IN THE MIDDLE
OF A WAR IMPORTING ALL THIS
ENERGY FROM RUSSIA WHERE NOW,
APPARENTLY, WE ARE NEGOTIATING
WITH THE MULLAHS OF IRAN THAT
CHAND DEATH TO ISRAEL, DEATH TO
AMERICA.
NOW TO VENEZUELA, ALREADY
REJECTED BY OPEC OVER AND OVER
AGAIN, GOING TO ALLOW AMERICANS
TO SUFFER A 40-YEAR HIGH OF
INFLATION AND HAVE A WEAKER
NATIONAL SECURITY BECAUSE OF OUR
DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN ENERGY.
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW ANY OF THAT
MAKES ANY SENSE IN ANY WAY TO
YOU?
>> NEGOTIATING WITH MADMAN IS
NOT A GOOD LOOK.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING.
THIS ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT --
AGAIN, THIS IS A RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR REALITY.
DISREGARD FOR REALITY.
THE REALITY IS, MADURO, THE
AYATOLLAH, THE IRANIANS, THEY
ARE NOT GOING TO NEGOTIATE IN
GOOD FAITH WITH US.
THE RUSSIANS ARE GOING TO DO
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PUT US
INTO THE GREATEST PICKLE THEY
CAN PUT US IN.
AND CHINA IS SITTING ON THE
SIDELINES, SOMEWHAT ON THE
SIDELINES, WATCHING THIS AND
DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE
GOING TO ATTACK TAIWAN.
I MEAN, WE’RE GETTING INTO A
REAL MESS HERE, SEAN, AND THIS
ADMINISTRATION DOESN’T SEEM TO
BE DOING ANYTHING IN THE REALITY
SIDE OF IT.
BECAUSE REALITY IS THEY SPRAYED
STAND-UP, MR. PRESIDENT, AND
ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG.
PUSH BACK ON YOUR WOKE LEFT
CLIMATE CRAZIES AND SAY, YOU
KNOW WHAT, FOLKS?
YOUR PLAN JUST WASN’T GOING TO
WORK, AND AMERICAN ENERGY
PRODUCERS, WE ARE GOING TO
REMOVE THE REGULATIONS THAT ARE
STIFLING -- AND DON’T BE
CONFUSED ABOUT STANDING UP AND
JEN PSAKI SAYING, WE’VE GOT
9,000 PERMITS, LIKE THAT
MATTERS.
WHEN THEY KNOW THEY CAN MAKE A
PROFIT, THEY WILL ALL ALL OUT TH
BUT THEY KNOW THEY CAN’T BECAUSE
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.
UNTIL THE MESSAGES SENT --
LISTEN, WE WERE WRONG, PLEASE
COME BACK AND START DRILLING FOR
THE OIL AND GAS THAT WE HAVE GOT
IN THIS COUNTRY AND BRING
AMERICA AND THE REST OF THE
WORLD THAT IS ON OUR SIDE BACK
TO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.
AND WE CAN DO THAT, WE JUST NEED
THE SIGNAL FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THAT WE ARE NOT JUST
GOING TO STRANGLE YOU.
>> Sean: I CAN’T BELIEVE THE
TIMES WE ARE LIVING IN.
SECRETARY RICK PERRY, BOY, WE
REALLY COULD USE YOU BACK AS
ENERGY SECRETARY.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
