| Well, guys, gas prices reached a new record high. | |
| A new record high. | |
| Now, that's been going on for a year. | |
| The Biden administration is clearly trying to blame the crisis in Ukraine. | |
| And now, finally, after weeks, after weeks of watching what Russia is doing, still sending them approximately $50 million a day in oil revenue. | |
| You know, other sanctions they put on there, they weren't touching that one for a while. | |
| It was, no, we won't, no, we won't, no, we won't, maybe. | |
| Now they're saying, yes, they're going to finally ban Russian oil imports. | |
| Doesn't really solve the problem because you know where they're going to? | |
| They're going to look at Iran and Venezuela to make up the difference. | |
| Okay? Just so we understand. | |
| We're all hurting when we fill up at the pump. | |
| I get it. I know my last name. | |
| If I'm pissed off when I'm filling up my truck, I know the average American is. | |
| And I know it hurts. Okay? | |
| We import about 200,000 barrels a day of oil from Russia. | |
| America can easily produce that. | |
| But we're not looking to our neighbors. | |
| We're not looking to Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio. | |
| We're not looking to oil producing states. | |
| Alaska. We're looking to Iran and Venezuela to make up the difference. | |
| And for the last few weeks, until they said they're going to implement this ban, also Russia. | |
| We'd rather do it from that trio of evil, give them millions of dollars a day, than create good, hard-working, good-paying jobs in America to be self-sufficient and energy independent like we were under my father. | |
| We won't do that because they don't care. | |
| Jen Psaki can get on TV. They're doing everything in their power. | |
| Joe Biden is doing everything. | |
| They're going to now blame Russia. | |
| They're going to blame Russia as though gas prices weren't almost doubled in the year prior to anyone hearing about a crisis in Ukraine, right? | |
| That will be conveniently neglected by the administration, by the media, okay? | |
| And we're going to ban oil imports from Russia. | |
| I think that's probably the right call. | |
| But shouldn't we? Come to America to make up the difference rather than just jumping ship to, say, Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror, who, by the way, Russia is acting as a moderator in our talks to talk back about the Iran nuclear deal. | |
| I mean, think about how insane this is. | |
| We're going to give it to Venezuela, a regime we didn't recognize, and Iran. | |
| We were giving it to Russia for weeks, $50 million a day times the amount of days. | |
| It's a lot of money. We're essentially fueling their war in Ukraine. | |
| It's a prime opportunity for us to reset American energy independence. | |
| Open up the Keystone Pipeline. | |
| Drilling on public lands will do it better, cheaper, safer than we will anywhere else. | |
| So doing what Joe Biden is doing without simultaneously green lighting domestic energy production It's a disaster waiting to happen because they don't care, folks. | |
| This is all about their green agenda. | |
| They want to push you as Pete Buttigieg says, you know, get an electronic car. | |
| They don't talk about the fact that they're more expensive than regular cars for regular Americans. | |
| They don't talk about the rare earth minerals that are required, lithium for example, to build the batteries for said car, are produced in third world countries under terrible conditions and totally dominated by China. | |
| So the fact that there's not even enough supply there means nothing. | |
| But China has the monopoly on being able to do that. | |
| So Biden's going to ban Russian oil and then blame them for high gas prices and attack anyone who points out that his entire administration was built around ending dependence on natural gas and oil. | |
| So even if prices went up, it's all a shell game, folks. | |
| It's all a shell game. | |
| He previously declined to do so. | |
| He's doing it now because the pressure is so much. | |
| Prices are going to go up and they'll tell us they're doing everything in their power, but they're not because they won't let you in Texas or the other oil producing states take care of ourselves. | |
| We're going to remain dependent on some of our enemies. | |
| To supply and fill that void. | |
| That's how insane these people are. | |
| And when you don't like it, just go buy a Tesla. | |
| Everyone can afford a Tesla. | |
| Like I said, if I'm pissed off when I'm filling up my car, you are. | |
| Okay? Let's not let them get away with this nonsense. | |
| Let's open up the spigot. | |
| Let's make sure we can take care of ourselves. |
