LARRY: OKAY, OIL PRICES MOVING
TOWARDS 100 BUCKS.
THEY’RE OVER $90 A BARREL.
WITH THIS INFLATION THE 10-YEAR
IS OVER 2% TODAY SO INTEREST
RATES ARE RISING AND NOW THE
LATEST FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
GENIUSES, A BUNCH OF NORTHEAST
DEMOCRATS, WANT TO RESTRICT LNG
EXPORTS.
OKAY, WHAT A TERRIFIC IDEA THAT
IS.
JOINING ME NOW, RICK PERRY,
FORMER U.S. ENERGY SECRETARY,
FORMER GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, AND
FORMER AIR FORCE CAPTAIN FOR
THAT MATTER.
WE THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE.
RICK PERRY, WELCOME BACK.
LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS RIGHT.
WE ARE IN THIS CRISIS WITH PUTIN
AND UKRAINE AND THE
NORD STREAM 2 PIPELINE AND THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE
PRESIDENT HIMSELF HAS SAID,
TRYING TO SELL MORE LNG TO
EUROPE TOE REMOVE PUTIN’S
HEGEMONY ON NATURAL GAS AND ON
ENERGY AND NORTHEAST SENATORS,
IMPORTING OIL AND GAS FROM
RUSSIA, THEY WANT TO STOP LNG
EXPORTS?
HELP ME OUT ON THIS, SECRETARY
PERRY.
>> THERE IS SO MANY STORIES
GOING ON, LARRY.
ONE IS NEW YORK BLOCKED
PIPELINES ACROSS THEIR STATE FOR
YEARS THAT COULD DELIVER
AFFORDABLE AMERICAN MOLECULES OF
GAS TO THOSE SENATORS STATES AND
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE ALLOWED
NEW YORK TO BLOCK THEM.
I SHOULDN’T LAUGH.
I MEAN IT IS STUNNINGLY KEYSTONE
COPPISH IF YOU WILL.
AND SPEAKING OF KEYSTONE,
STOPPING THAT PIPELINE REALLY
BAG PUBLIC POLICY.
MY POINT WITH ALL OF THIS, BAD
DEMOCRAT PUBLIC POLICY DEALING
WITH ENERGY IS COMING HOME TO
REALLY ROOST NOW, NOT JUST IN
THE UNITED STATES BUT ALSO IN
EUROPE.
YOU HAVE THE EUROPEANS THAT WANT
TO GET RID OF ALL FOSSIL FUELS
OVER THERE, RELY EXCLUSION LIVE
SY ON THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SIDE
AND NOW BEGGING ALL SOURCES OF
LNG, LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS TO
COME INTO THE COUNTRY BECAUSE
THE WIND ENERGY ISN’T ENOUGH TO
PUSH THE ENERGY INTO EUROPEAN
UNION.
IT IS JUST STUNNING MISTAKES
THAT HAVE BEEN MADE OVER AND
OVER BY THESE PROGRESSIVE TYPES.
IF YOU HAD LEFT THE TRUMP
POLICIES IN PLACE THE U.S.
BECOME ENERGY INDEPENDENT.
WE’VE GOT 100 PLUS YEARS OF
NATURAL GAS UNDERNEATH THE
GROUND IN THE UNITED STATES.
WE COULD BE LEADING THE WORLD IN
NOT ONLY ARE DRIVING DOWN THE
COST OF THESE ENERGY PRODUCTS IN
THE UNITED STATES BUT ALSO
DELIVERING THEM TO OUR ALLIES
AROUND THE WORLD.
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS ALL
HAPPENED JUST WITHIN A YEAR.
BUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND
EUROPEAN POLICIES THAT ARE
LEFTIST IN THEIR LEANINGS IF YOU
WILL ARE WHAT IS AT ROOT HERE
WITH THIS GREAT ENERGY CRISIS
THAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THE
WORLD, AND AMERICANS ARE PAYING
THE PRICE.
WE GOT A 40-YEAR HIGH WITH
INFLATION NOW?
IT IS BEING DRIVEN BY ENERGY
PRICES.
LARRY: YEAH WE’RE ABOVE $90 ON
OIL ALONE.
SO LET ME JUST SEE A POSITIVE TO
THIS.
IF YOU WERE PRESIDENT, COULD
WAVE A MAGIC WAND AND YOU SAID
TO OUR OIL AND GAS BUSINESSES,
FULL OPEN THROTTLE, PIPELINES
OPEN, NEW PIPELINES OPEN,
DRILLING OPEN, PRODUCTION OPEN,
LNG TERMINALS, NEW ONES AND FIX
THE OLD ONES, OPEN, EXPORTS
OPEN, YOU WOULD, YOU WOULD HAVE
GUSHERS AND GUSHERS OF OIL AND
NATURAL GAS.
WE COULD BE UNDERCUTTING PUTIN
BY SELLING IT TO EUROPE WHICH IS
WHAT YOU AND I AND O’BRIEN AND
OTHERS WERE TRYING TO DO IN THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, AND, WE
WOULD BE SUPPLYING MORE GASOLINE
AT THE PUMP WOULD BE CHEAPER.
WE WOULD BE HELPING DOMESTIC
HOME FRONT AND WE WOULD BE
FIGHTING OUR ENEMIES OVERSEAS.
RIGHT NOW WE’RE KILLING OUR HOME
FRONT AND WE’RE STRENGTHENING
PUTIN!
>> AND, LARRY, THINK ABOUT HOW
MANY JOBS WOULD BE CREATED IN
AMERICA TODAY?
ALL OF THOSE UNION JOBS THAT GOT
KILLED WHEN THE XL PIPELINE GOT
SHUT DOWN, THIS ADMINISTRATION
HAS BEEN THE MOST JOB-KILLING,
INFLATION-CREATING
ADMINISTRATION CERTAINLY IN MY
LIFETIME AND I THINK I’M IN MY
8th DECADE NOW.
IT IS PRETTY AMAZING WHAT WE’RE
LOOKING AT.
LARRY: YOUNGSTER.
WE’RE PROBABLY JUST ABOUT EVEN.
BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, IN ALL
SERIOUSNESS, THESE NORTHEASTERN
SENATORS, NORTHEASTERN STATES
WON’T ALLOW PIPELINES, TALKING
RIGHT HERE IN NEW YORK, UP IN
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ONLY
SMART STATE NEAR THERE IS
PENNSYLVANIA THAT ALLOWED
DRILLING AND PIPELINES.
BUT YOU KNOW, RISK, THEY TAKE IN
10% OF THEIR ENERGY COMES FROM
RUSSIA, OKAY?
SO THEY’RE JUST HELPING THE
RUSSIANS.
BUT THE POINT IS WHEN JOE BIDEN
SAID NO TO KEYSTONE PIPELINE AND
THEN ANWAR AND THEN WILLOW AND
MORE EXPENSIVE DRILLING ON
PUBLIC LANDS AND THEN SAID YES
TO THE NORD STREAM 2 PIPELINE
FROM RUSSIA, HE WAS, LIKE
RECREATING PUTIN’S STRENGTH.
IN SOME SENSE THAT PAVED WAY.
AFGHANISTAN WAS A CATASTROPHE,
BUT THIS OIL POLICY WAS YOU
KNOW, WE LIBERATED PUTIN.
WE EMPOWERED PUTIN.
>> YEAH.
I THINK WE WILL LOOK BACK ON,
YES, AFGHANISTAN AND THE
WITHDRAWAL THERE WAS AN ABSOLUTE
TRAGEDY AND THE WHOLE WORLD SAW
IT.
WE’RE PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE OF
OUR LACK OF NATIONAL SECURITY
AROUND THE WORLD IF YOU WILL,
THESE COUNTRIES LOOKED AT THAT
AND THEY RECOGNIZE THERE IS NO
LEADERSHIP OUT OF WHITE HOUSE
WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICAN
DEFENSE POLICY BUT THE OTHER
SIDE OF THIS IS, THE ENERGY
DECISIONS I THINK WILL BE THE
BIGGEST MISTAKE THAT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, THAT IS A LONG
LIST ALREADY, BUT HIS ENERGY
POLICIES NOT ONLY ARE THEY
DRIVING INFLATION, THEY’RE
PUTTING AMERICA’S NATIONAL
SECURITY AT RISK AND THIS
ADMINISTRATION COULD OVERNIGHT,
YOU SAID IT A WHILE AGO, JUST BY
THE WAVING OF THAT WAND IF YOU
WILL OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE YOU
COULD PUT AMERICAN OIL AND GAS
PRODUCERS BACK TO WORK, DRILLING
PRODUCING NOT ONLY LIQUIFIED
NATURAL GAS PRODUCTS BUT OUR
CRUDE PRODUCTS, DRIVING DOWN THE
COST OF ENERGY WHICH IN TURN
DRIVES DOWN THE COSTS OF ALL THE
PRODUCTS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
I MEAN IT’S STUNNING HOW SIMPLE
THIS IS WITH THE RIGHT KIND OF
LEADERSHIP THAT LOOKS AT WHAT’S
BEST FOR AMERICANS.
I JUST, I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHO
IS MAKING THE DECISIONS AT THE
WHITE HOUSE NOW AND DO THEY NOT
REALLY CARE ABOUT AMERICANS
DAY-TO-DAY LIVES, OR THE FUTURE
OF AMERICA FROM THE STANDPOINT
OF NATIONAL SECURITY?
STUNNING, STUNNINGLY BAD
DECISIONS BEING MADE BY THIS
DECISION.
LARRY: YOU’RE RIGHT, OIL PRICE
GOING UP.
MY PAL JOHN CATSIMATIDIS,
BIGGEST GROSSER IN NEW YORK,
ALSO IN THE OIL BUSINESS, HE
SAYS THESE HIGHER OIL PRICES
TRANSLATE INTO HIGHER FOOD PRICE
AND EVERY OTHER PRICE.
>> THEY ALREADY ARE.
LARRY: OIL AND GAS ARE SO
CENTRAL TO THE PRICE SYSTEM, OUR
ECONOMY, THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND
IT.
I DON’T KNOW, THINK ABOUT THAT,
CAMPAIGN PERRY.
WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU WAVING
A MAGIC WAND IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
LOVE TO SEE THAT.
>> BY THE WAY THIS WANT IS OUT
THERE.
THIS ISN’T ROCKET SCIENCE.
IT HAS TO HAVE PEOPLE WITH THE
BACKBONE TO DO IT.
LARRY: A LITTLE BACKBONE, A
