NORTHEAST, THAT COULD SPELL A
TROUBLE FOR NOT JUST TRUCKERS
BUT FOR INFLATION.
>> KELLY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
JOINING ME FROM HOUSE
TRANSPORTATION, CONGRESSMAN
CARLOS GIMENEZ GREAT TO HAVE YOU
ON.
>> MY PLEASURE.
ELIZABETH: YOUR REACTION TO THAT
STORY?
>> MY REACTION TO THE ENERGY
POLICIES OF THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS COMPLETELY
INSANE TRYING TO HELP THE
AVERAGE AMERICAN, IF YOU’RE
TRYING TO LOWER INFLATION.
IF YOU’RE TRYING TO HURT
AMERICA, HURT LITTLE GUYS IT
MAKES SOME KIND OF SENSE BUT HIS
ENERGY POLICIES ARE COMPLETELY
INSANE.
THEY ARE HURTING THIS COUNTRY.
WE NEED TO HAVE A CHANGE IN
WASHINGTON AND IT STARTS IN
NOVEMBER WHEN WE NEED TO TAKE
OVER THE HOUSE AND SENATE.
ELIZABETH: THIS STORY,
CONGRESSMAN, WASHINGTON STATE
WILL COPY CALIFORNIA WITH A BAN
ON GAS CARS.
MASSACHUSETTS COULD FOLLOW.
WE HAVE 14 STATES AND D.C. HAVE
TRIGGER LAWS TO COPY CAT
CALIFORNIA.
CNN HAD A GUEST ON CLAIMING
NEW YORK AND OTHER STATES COULD
POSSIBLY FOLLOW INCLUDING MAYBE
OTHERS IN THE NORTHEAST.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO CHARGE 10 OF
MILLIONS OF THESE ELECTRIC CARS?
HOW?
>> WE DON’T HAVE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE TO DO THAT.
EVERY SINGLE CAR YOU NEED TO
CHARGE IS THE EQUIVALENT OF 25
REFRIGERATORS.
IN CALIFORNIA ALONE IT IS LIKE
ADDING 355 MILLION
REFRIGERATORS.
THEY ALREADY HAVE BLACKOUTS IN
CALIFORNIA.
SO IT WILL GET TO THE POINT
WHERE YOU EITHER CAN YOU KNOW,
COOK DINNER OR CHARGE YOUR CAR
OR HAVE A HOT SHOWER OR CHARGE
YOUR CAR.
SO I SEE THE FUTURE TELLS ME YOU
WILL HAVE A LOT OF COLD
SANDWICHES A LOT OF COLD SHOWERS
IN CALIFORNIA AND MASSACHUSETTS,
NEW YORK, ALL THAT.
>> BLACKOUTS?
>> AND BLACKOUTS.
BY THE WAY THE GOOD NEWS YOU CAN
COME TO FLORIDA AND ENJOY HOT
SHOWERS, HOT MEALS, COOL AC.
THIS IS A FREE STATE OF FLORIDA.
HEY, WE WANT REPUBLICANS TO COME
DOWN.
WE DON’T WANT DEMOCRATS OR THEIR
CRAZY IDEAS TO INFECT US HERE IN
FLORIDA.
ELIZABETH: HERE IS THE THING,
ELON MUSK SAYS WE NEED ALL OF
THE ABOVE APPROACH.
THE WORLD WILL NEED OIL AND GAS
OR QUOTE, CIVILIZATION WILL
CRUMBLE.
>> RIGHT.
ELIZABETH: WE NEED SUSTAINABLE
SOURCES OF ENERGY AND KEEP OIL
AND GAS AND NEARLY 80% OF THE
U.S. ELECTRIC POWER GRID COMES
FROM OIL AND GAS BUT YOU NEVER
HEAR DEMOCRATS TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> WE KNOW FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS
YOU WILL NEED MORE OIL AND GAS.
WHY SHOULDN’T IT BE AMERICAN OIL
AND GAS?
NOBODY EVER ANSWERED THAT
QUESTION FROM THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
THEY GO TO VENEZUELA.
GO OVER TO SAUDI ARABIA, IRANS
ASK THEM TO PRODUCE MORE OIL.
WE CAN DO IT HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
WE CAN DRIVE OUR FUEL COSTS
DOWN.
LOOK, ENERGY IS ALL OF THE ABOVE
SOLUTION TO IT.
IT IS ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
ALTERNATIVES.
IT IS NATURAL GAS.
IT’S GAS.
IT’S DIESEL.
IT’S CLEAN DIESEL.
IT’S EVERYTHING.
IT’S NUCLEAR.
ALL OF THAT.
THAT IS WHAT THE REPUBLICANS
WANT TO DO, GIVE ALL OF THE
ABOVE IS THE ANSWER TO ENERGY.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF IT HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
WE COULD BE SELLING IT ABROAD
AND YET THIS ADMINISTRATION IS
BENT ON DESTROYING THE OIL AND
GAS INDUSTRY HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES WHERE IT COULD BE, COULD
BALANCE OUR TRADE WIT.
WE COULD HELP OUR ALLIES WIT.
BUT YET THIS ADMINISTRATION
WANTS TO DESTROY IT.
ELIZABETH: THE PRICE OF GAS JUST
ABOUT DOUBLED UNDER PRESIDENT
BIDEN BUT WHITE HOUSE SENT AN
EMAILS TO REPORTERS OVER A WEEK
AGO, SUBJECT LINE, AMERICANS GOT
$100 A MONTH RAISE, INCLUDING A
LINK TO CNN STORY BEARING THAT
HEADLINE.
IT IS STILL UP 73 CENTS HIGHER
THAN A YEAR AGO.
WHY ARE THEY PATTING THEMSELVES
ON THE BACK WHEN GAS DOUBLED ON
HIS WATCH NOW IT IS DROPPING
BECAUSE OF FALL IN DEMAND?
>> WELL, PROBABLY BECAUSE
JOE BIDEN PROBABLY FAILED
ARITHMETIC IN COLLEGE OR IN HIGH
SCHOOL.
HE DOESN’T FIGURE OUT THAT WHEN
YOU’RE SPENDING $200 MORE.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN GET A BREAK
OF $100, YOU’RE STILL SPENDING
$100 MORE.
BY THE WAY WE ANTICIPATE THAT
GAS PRICES WILL GO BACK UP
ESPECIALLY DURING THE WINTER
MONTHS.
AND WHO DOES THIS HURT THE MOST?
IT HURTS THE LITTLE GUY.
IT HURTS THE POOR.
HE HURTS THE MIDDLE CLASS.
ELIZABETH: OKAY.
