>>> THE ENERGY POLICY IS FALLING
APART TONIGHT BECAUSE AS GAS
PRICES HIT ONE RECORD AFTER
ANOTHER, FAILED FAR LEFT
TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY PETE,
BUT A JUDGE SAYS BIDEN IS TO
BLAME FOR THIS.
IT’S THE GREEDY OIL COMPANIES.
OKAY.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE PRICE OF
GASOLINE IS NOT SET BY A DIAL IN
THE OVAL OFFICE.
WHEN AN OIL COMPANY IS DECIDING
HOUR BY HOUR HOW MUCH TO CHARGE
YOU FOR A GALLON OF GAS THEY ARE
NOT CALLING THE ADMINISTRATION
TO ASK WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.
THEY ARE DOING IT BASED ON THEIR
GOAL OF MAXIMIZING PROFITS.
THIS IS STRIKING NOW TO SEE
THESE OIL COMPANIES WHO HAVE
BECOME ALMOST RIDICULOUSLY
PROFITABLE.
>> DESPITE THESE OBVIOUS AND
UNDENIABLE FAILURES, THE BIDEN
TEAM IS HELL-BENT ON PURSUING
THE GREEN NEW DEAL FANTASIES OF
THEIRS WHICH WOULD DESTROY THE
ECONOMY AND IS DESTROYING THE
ECONOMY ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY.
FOR EXAMPLE, BIDEN IS INVOLVING
THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT.
NOT TO LOWER GAS PRICES, BUT TO
RAMP UP CLEAN ENERGY PRODUCTION.
HERE WITH REACTION HIS FORMER
ENERGY SECRETARY GOVERNOR RICK
PERRY.
PEAT BUDDHA JUDGE SAID BY
ELECTRIC CARS.
THEN HE CLAIMS GET USED TOO HIGH
GAS PRICES UNTIL WE ARE ENERGY
INDEPENDENT ONLY WITH CLEAN
ENERGY.
NOW HE IS OUT THERE BLAMING OIL
COMPANIES AND BLAMING EVERYBODY
BUT THEMSELVES.
YOU WERE THE ENERGY SECRETARY.
DID THE POLICY SHIFT FROM BIDEN,
FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN AND BECAUSE
THE PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING AT
THE PUMP NOW?
>> THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS YES.
THE QUESTION I HAVE FOR THE
TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY IS WHAT
IS THE EMERGENCY IN THE
RENEWABLE INDUSTRY THAT YOU
WOULD PUT THE DPA TO WORK?
THIS IS A SECTION OF OUR POWER
INDUSTRY THAT PRODUCES AT MAX
ABOUT 20%.
THE IDEA THAT THEY WILL USE THE
DPA AND THE SOLAR AND WIND BACK
SIDE OF THINGS IS BEYOND ME.
IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE, WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE
DONE IS SENT THE MESSAGE EARLY
ON IN THIS ADMINISTRATION.
LISTEN, WE ARE GOING TO BE A
PARTNER WITH THE ENERGY INDUSTRY
.
WHAT THEY DID IT SENT A CLEAR
MESSAGE THAT WE DON’T LIKE THE
FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.
WE DON’T LIKE THE NUCLEAR
INDUSTRY.
ACTUALLY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT
THE WIND AND SOLAR PEOPLE OUT
THERE GOT THEIR OWN CHALLENGES
AS WELL WITH THE KNOT IN MY
BACKYARD MENTALITY THAT YOU SEE
IN A LOT OF PLACES WHEN YOU
START PUTTING IN BIG WIND FARMS
ARE PUTTING IN BIG SOLAR
FACILITIES.
THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES STOP THEM.
IF YOU DON’T SUPPORT FOSSIL
FUELS AND IF YOU DON’T SUPPORT
NUCLEAR ENERGY, YOU ARE GOING TO
BE IN A FOOLS ERRAND TO TRY TO
FUEL THIS COUNTRY AND CERTAINLY
THE WORLD.
THEY ARE GETTING IT WRONG IN SO
MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.
IT IS STUNNING.
>> SECRETARY, YOU KNOW ABOUT
ENERGY AND YOU KNOW ABOUT
POLITICS.
DEMOCRATS THINK THAT THEY CAN
MITIGATE THEIR LOSSES IN
NOVEMBER BY TALKING ABOUT
ABORTION, ABOUT GUNS, ABOUT
JANUARY 6TH.
THEN USE THE USUAL PLAYBOOK
REPUBLICANS ARE RACIST, SEXIST
AND HOMOPHOBIC.
BUT EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY
AMERICAN, IT SMACKS THEM IN THE
FACE WHEN THEY FILL UP THEIR GAS
TANK.
EVERY ITEM THEY BUY IN EVERY
STORE THEY GO TO IS COSTING A
FORTUNE MORE BECAUSE OF THESE
BAD POLICIES.
WHAT IS GOING TO WIN THE DAY IN
NOVEMBER?
>> YEAH.
I LOST YOUR CONNECTION FOR A
LITTLE BIT, BUT I CAUGHT THE END
OF IT.
I WAS AT A RECYCLING PLANT LAST
FRIDAY AND TALKING TO A FELLOW
WHO IS WORKING PROBABLY 12 OR 16
HOURS A DAY TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
HE BASICALLY RECOGNIZED ME AND
CAME UP AND SAID LOOK, GOVERNOR,
I AM HAVING TO MAKE DECISIONS
ABOUT WHETHER I WILL FILL UP MY
TRUCK HALFWAY OR WE WILL EAT
TONIGHT.
THAT IS HAPPENING ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE
DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO PAY A
MASSIVE PRICE THIS NOVEMBER
REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE SECRETARY
OF TRANSPORTATION SAYS.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT
BUYING THAT.
THEY KNOW THIS ISN’T PRUDENT’S
PRICE INCREASE.
THEY KNOW THAT WHEN JOE BIDEN
SAYS I’M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING
I CAN TO CHANGE THE FOSSIL FUEL
INDUSTRY IN AMERICA THAT HE
MEANT IT.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MAY NOT HAVE
RECOGNIZED WHAT THAT MEANT.
WHAT HE MEANS IS THE PRICE OF
THEIR GROCERIES IS GOING TO GO
UP.
INFLATION IS GOING THROUGH THE
ROOF.
THE COST OF GASOLINE WILL
CONTINUE TO GO UP THROUGH THE
SUMMER AND THE DRIVING PERIOD.
TRANSPORTATION COSTS.
IT WILL BE A BRUTAL YEAR.
I DON’T KNOW WHEN THE END HIS
INSIGHT IS THE PROBLEM.
A RECESSION IS AROUND THE CORNER
.
AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE.
THIS ADMINISTRATION IS THE
REASON FOR IT AND THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE KNOW IT.
IT WILL BE A MASSIVE BLOWOUT FOR
THE DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER.
>> WE NEED THE ADULTS BACK IN
CHARGE.
THIS IS HURTING THE POOR, THE
MIDDLE CLASS AND PEOPLE ON FIXED
INCOMES.
IT IS HURTING TENS AND HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
IT’S INSANE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
WHEN WE COME BACK, THE DEMOCRATS
CONTINUE ENACTING THE CRIME
AGENDA DESPITE ANOTHER WEEKEND
OF NATIONWIDE VIOLENCE.
HOW IS THE DEFUND, DISMANTLE
