well does joe biden really truly want
higher gas prices at the pump
yes here to tell us senator tommy
tuberville of alabama senator tomville
welcome back sir
you know um
i'll ask you i mean if you want lower
prices wouldn't you want more drilling
wouldn't you want more lee just killed
some very lucrative leases in alaska and
the gulf of mexico center right so
you're alabama's on the gulf the
cheapest all break even is only 30 a
barrel so let me i mean he claims he
wants lower oil prices but do you think
so
do you think he really wants lower
gasoline prices
well first larry before i get into the
oil and gas prices which is one of many
crises we have right now positive
attitude i love your balanced budget
i've been here two years and i've never
heard anybody say anything about a
balanced budget thank you it's it's an
amazing place but uh
yeah
oil and gas we have no no wait hang on
hang on let's say with this i love this
it's unscripted let's throw the whole
thing out and have some fun just you and
me nobody else is really listening if
you sell this right my point is
my point is if you sell this right high
growth
great family incomes and job
opportunities and low inflation
and newt and i've talked about this for
a long time and we got a whole group of
thinkers on this to me this is an
organizing
principle
uh for gop and conservatives but
eventually we might be able to get a
third of the democrats with us what you
think off the top of your head what you
think
i agree with you i agree with you
growth is the number one thing that we
have to have in this country
the only thing that's positive right now
is the tax cuts that president trump put
in years ago when he was in office
and thank god we've been able to keep
those
but we have to have something positive
happen in this country we've got to give
more money back to the people to the
citizens the people that do the work
we've got to give more money back to
them for this for our country to survive
right now we're on the brink of of uh
bankruptcy which we already bankrupt but
we have to get to a balanced budget uh
larry we've got to get to a point and
we've got to start
getting to the heads of some of these
republicans
that don't think about it either it's
this is not just a democratic problem
this is a democrat and republican
problem we have got to get back to
somewhere some common sense in this
country and give the money back to the
people
cut taxes and let them prosper and grow
this country like we have years years in
the past see that's the thing we did it
once in fact as newt mentioned in the
prior segment look it was 25 years ago
but
with a balanced budget approach and
welfare reform we had high growth low
inflation and budget surpluses in the
late 90s you know that's not in the 18th
century which was when i was prospering
that's actually recently okay in the
last 25 years that was a joke but i'm
just saying it can be done and the
post-world war ii growth can be done and
the way to do it i think is to look at
it in terms of a balanced budget
discipline a balanced budget principle
there's got to be some discipline put
into this if you just look at the past
year and a half
larry the biden administration has put
500 000 more people on welfare and food
stamps and that's not including all the
illegals that he's allowing to come in
every day and it's going to continue to
grow continue to grow and it's going to
continue to take money out of the
pockets of the people in this country
that actually pay the taxes where they
can't reinvest and do things that they
want to do to make the country stronger
it's just it's a it's just a circle of
life uh that the democrats love they
they love taking away from the the
working people and giving it to people
that don't want to work
so that's important point now you have a
new um i don't know if it's a bill or
what but you're challenging the labor
department with respect to 401ks
and i like this uh it's maybe a sidebar
in the great scheme of things but it's
important you're saying to them uh
biden labor department don't you don't
be telling us what to invest in and if
people want to invest in
cryptocurrencies or whatever other
assets it's their portfolio is that
right tell us about that please yes it's
a financial freedoms act larry and it's
just another grasp of overreach by the
body administration so the so the uh
secretary of labor decides he's going to
get involved in this of bringing the
american people down taxing people so
the average worker works 16 000 days a
year 133 000 hours they put in
to going towards and building retirement
the problem is now the body
administration and the in the department
of labor they want to say no wait a
minute we're going to tell you what you
can and cannot invest in in these
brokerage windows and so they're saying
we're we're thinking about not allowing
you to get in cryptocurrency and i'm not
telling anybody that cryptocurrency is
the right thing to get into but it's not
just cryptocurrency the next thing will
be fossil fuels the next thing will be
guns
things that you can get into and
possibly make money in some of these big
companies but it's a massive overreach
and we've got to get away from this
we've got to let turn the american
people loose and quit putting new rules
and regulations on them every day
well don't you think that the labor
department and the other agencies
have earned the right to dictate
investment policy they've done so many
other terrific things
yeah right yeah yeah yeah if they would
just get out of the way and in my state
and all across the country the labor
department right now is trying to push
unions everywhere and uh you know there
were some good unions over the years
there probably still are but every every
nook and cranny now they're looking to
try to put people in a union to try to
get union dues and union fees to where
they can help people get elected that's
all it is and again it all started with
the department of labor and this
financial freedom act hopefully we can
get it on the floor but you know the way
things are going with uh our uh
majority leader on the floor uh is very
doubtful until we take over in november
so last one center just quickly amazon
regrouped and did win
the union election right they kept um
they kept the worker freedoms and the
workers voted for amazon i think it was
pretty hefty it was over 60 up here in
staten island uh where is this thing
going what's happening with the election
the union election with amazon in
alabama
yeah in birmingham you remember about a
year ago larry they had they pushed it
hard they pushed the union hard
it went down you know fifty percent they
didn't get fifty percent of the vote but
they call foul they said there were some
there was too many uh boxes close to a
mailbox outside the the plants so they
got a re-vote obviously they gave them a
re-vote and they had another vote just
recently about a month ago it failed
again so hopefully the department of
labor will stay out of this allow people
to do what they want to do we're a right
to work state we want to stay a right to
work state if they want a union let them
pass it but it failed two times we don't
need another vote
yeah worker freedom i like that worker
freedom investor freedom just ordinary
freedom how about that senator tommy
tuberville thank you sir as always great
see
