LARRY: SO, AS I SAID BEFORE
JOE BIDEN SHOULD STOP FINANCING
VLADMIR PUTIN AND HIS INCREDIBLY
MILITARY AHISTORICAL ADVENTURISM
BY CREATING A JIHAD AGAINST
AMERICAN FOSSIL FUELS.
WE’RE THE GREATEST ENERGY
PRODUCING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
WE’RE WAITING FOR MY PAL,
RICK PERRY, FORMER TEXAS
GOVERNOR AND ENERGY SECRETARY.
I’M TRYING TO BE FAIR.
I’M LOOKING AT
"THE NEW YORK TIMES."
I’M LOOKING AT
"THE NEW YORK TIMES."
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HALTS NEW
DRILLING IN LEGAL FIGHT OVER
CLIMATE COSTS.
THEY’RE COMING UP WITH THIS
PHONY BALONEY METRIC, THE SOCIAL
COST OF CARBON WHICH IS
UNMEASURABLE ABOUT THE UPSTREAM
AND DOWNSTREAM COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH NEW PIPELINES.
SO FERC, THE REGULATORY
COMMISSION, HAS CEASED ALL NEW
DRILLING PERMITS FOR PIPELINES.
THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT HAS
STOPPED ALL FEDERAL OIL AND GAS
LEASES AND PERMITS.
AND OF COURSE THAT GOES ON TOP
OF WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
HAS ALREADY DONE.
THEY RENEGED ON ANWAR.
THEY RENEGED IN ALASKA ON
WILLOW.
THEY RAISED THROUGH THE INTERIOR
DEPARTMENT THE COST OF DRILLING
ON FEDERAL LANDS.
SO WE HAVE GOT MY FRIEND, FORMER
U.S. ENERGY SECRETARY
RICK PERRY.
CAPTAIN PERRY, GOOD TO SEE YOU
AS ALWAYS.
I DON’T THINK, MAYBE I’M BEING
TOO HARD ON HIM BUT I THINK HIS
ACTIONS TO STIFLE OUR FOSSIL
FUEL INDUSTRY HAVE A LOT TO DO
WITH THE $100 A BARREL AND ARE
IN EFFECT FINANCING RUSSIA’S GAS
STATION, TO USE JOHN McCAIN’S
OLD LINE.
>> YEAH.
LARRY, YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
HERE’S THE BIGGER ISSUE FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE IS THAT EVEN IF YOUR
POLITICAL OPPOSITION IS RIGHT,
GO AHEAD AND USE THEIR POLICIES
IF IT MAKES YOU LOOK GOOD.
I THINK BIDEN’S PUT POLICIES
INTO PLACE, STOPPING THE OIL AND
GAS INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED
STATES.
AS YOU SAID NO DRILLING IN THE
FEDERAL LANDS, STOPPING THE
EXCEL PIPELINE, SENDING A CLEAR
MESSAGE ALL ACROSS THE UNITED
STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD THAT
AMERICA WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO FILL THE SPARE CAPACITY THAT
WE NEED OUT THERE IN THE WORLD.
SO, JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE
OPPOSITION WAS FOR IT DOESN’T
MEAN YOU CAN’T EMBRACE IT AS
WELL.
NOBODY, NOBODY IN THE WORLD
PRODUCES ENERGY AS CLEANLY AS
THE UNITED STATES.
IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING TODAY
THAT BIDEN MAY BE DOING A CLEAN
ENERGY NEWS CONFERENCE OR
SOMETHING IN THAT ARENA.
AT THE SAME TIME HE IS
EMPOWERING THE USE OF FOREIGN
OIL THAT IS NOT ONLY DIRTIER TO
PRODUCE AND TO BURN BUT ALSO
PUTTING AMERICA AT AN ABSOLUTE
DEBACLE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR
ECONOMICS.
LARRY: RICK PERRY, YOU WERE
ENERGY SECRETARY.
YOU WERE PART OF THE GROUP, WE
ALL WERE BUT YOU WERE THE TIP OF
THE SPEAR, TO EXPORT LNG.
NOW WE DO LNG, WE PRODUCE LNG
BETTER THAN ANYBODY IN THE WORLD
BY FAR AND YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT
SPARE CAPACITY.
THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF SPARE
CAPACITY.
DAN YERGIN JUST WROTE A PIECE
ABOUT THAT.
I WILL TRY TO GET HIM ON THE
SHOW, SMART FELLOW, IN
"THE WALL STREET JOURNAL."
DEMOCRATS, 10 OR A DOZEN
DEMOCRATS WRITING A LETTER THEY
WANT TO END LNG EXPORTS.
A LOT OF THESE GREENIE GOOFBALLS
SAID WE SHOULD NOT EXPORT
BECAUSE SOMEHOW THAT HURTS OUR
DOMESTIC.
OF COURSE THEY HATE THE
DOMESTIC.
THE REALITY IT WOULD GROW THE
ENTIRE INDUSTRY AND HERE IS MY
FINAL POINT, RICK PERRY, IT
WOULD HURT PUTIN!
ISN’T THAT THE OBJECT HERE OR AM
I MISSING SOMETHING?
IT WOULD UNDERCUT PUTIN IN TERMS
OF BOTH QUANTITY AND PRICE.
WHAT AM I MISSING?
>> WELL IT’S A GOOD BY-PRODUCT.
MY POINT IS THAT WE WEREN’T
DELIVERING LNG TO THE EUROPEAN
JUST TO POKE PUTIN IN THE EYE.
WE WERE DOING IT FOR THEIR
NATIONAL SECURITY.
WHOEVER THE NEXT THUG WILL BE IN
THAT PART OF THE WORLD TRIES TO,
THERE HAS BEEN A LONG LIST OF
THEM THROUGH THE YEARS BUT WHEN
YOU ARE INDEPENDENT OF THE
THUGGERY THAT WE’VE SEEN IN THAT
PART OF THE WORLD, WHEN THEY’RE
USING ENERGY POLICY, WHICH
AMERICA WAS HELPING EUROPE REACH
THAT POINT.
POLAND, OUR GREAT FRIEND IN THAT
AREA, WAS WORKING WITH US
CLOSELY.
THE GERMANS MADE SOME REALLY BAD
MISCALCULATIONS, I BELIEVE, IN
DEALING WITH RUSSIA, ALLOWING
THEM TO DO WHAT THEY DID.
I THINK TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AND
FOR THEM TO BECOME THE KIND OF
THE CENTRAL WHEEL IF YOU WILL
BEING ABLE TO DIVERSE THAT
ENERGY OUT ACROSS EUROPE BUT MY
POINT IS THIS, THAT WE COULD BE
NOT ONLY SELLING OUR LNG, OUR
LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS, WHICH IS
THE CLEANEST BURNING FOSSIL FUEL
OUT THERE, DISPLACING A LOT OF
OLD, INEFFICIENT, COAL BURNING
PLANTS IN PLACES IN EUROPE,
GIVING THEM THE STANDBY FUEL
THEY NEED, WHEN THEIR WIND ISN’T
BLOWING AND IT WILL QUIT BLOWING
FROM TIME TO TIME.
LARRY: IT IS JUST, MR. BIDEN,
TRULY IF MR. BIDEN WERE A SMART
GUY, I’M NOT ASKING HIM TO BE
SOME BRILLIANT CLIMATOLOGIST, IF
HE WERE A SMART POLITICIAN, SIZE
UP THE CURRENT SITUATION, YOU’VE
GOT PUTIN AND THIS CRAZY AD AD
ADVENTURISM, YOU HAVE $100 OIL
WILL REFLECT GASOLINE PRICES OF
COURSE, YOU HAVE THE LNG RACE,
IF HE WOULD SWITCH GEARS.
YOU KNOW PRESIDENTS CAN TAKE A
LOOK AT REALITY AND SWITCH GEARS
AND OUR FOSSIL FUEL PEOPLE TO
TURN THE SPIGOTS BACK ON.
HE COULD TAKE AWAY THE
PENALTIES, DEAL WITH THE
REALITY, IN OTHER WORDS, NOT
SOME YOU KNOW, GOVERNOR PERRY,
NOT SOME CRAZY IDEALOGICAL
POSITION FORCED ON HIM BY THE
RADICAL LEFT-WING OF HIS PARTY,
BUT THE HERE AROUND NOW.
SOMETIMES A GOOD POLITICIAN HAS
TO ASSESS WHAT IS ACTUALLY
HAPPENING, HOW TO DEAL WITH IT,
FOR THE LIFE OF ME I DON’T KNOW
WHY HE DOESN’T SEE THAT?
>> WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A
REALLY DEEP HOLE THE FIRST THING
YOU NEED TO DO IS QUIT DIGGING.
LARRY: YES.
>> I’M NOT SURE THIS PRESIDENT
UNDERSTANDS THAT.
HE IS BEHOLDEN TO PEOPLE NOT IN
TOUCH WITH REALITY WHEN IT COMES
TO THE ECONOMY OF THIS COUNTRY
AND THE ENERGY SITUATION IN THIS
COUNTRY, THAT WE ARE ON A COURSE
THAT IS GOING TO END UP BADLY
FOR US.
THE ONE BRIGHT PART DOWN THIS
ROAD SO TO SPEAK IS THAT IN
NOVEMBER THERE IS GOING TO BE A
MASSIVE SHIFT IN WASHINGTON
D.C., WITH THE HOUSE AND SENATE
BOTH GO BACK TO THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO ARE
SUFFERING OUT THERE, WHO VOTED
FOR JOE BIDEN BECAUSE HE SAID HE
WOULD BE A DIFFERENT KIND OF A
PRESIDENT, BRING US TOGETHER,
REALIZE HE LOOKED THEM RIGHT IN
THE EYE AND HE LIED.
LARRY: YES, SIR.
GOVERNOR RICK PERRY, SECRETARY
PERRY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
