THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO DEFLECT. THEY’RE TRYING TO SAY IT IS EVERYBODY ELSE’S FAULT. IT IS TRUMP’S FAULT. IT IS PUTIN’S FAULT. IT IS THE OIL COMPANIES FAULT. IT IS EVERYBODY’S FAULT EXCEPT JOE BIDEN’S. THIS IS CRISIS OF JOE BIDEN’S MAKING. WE WENT IN DAY ONE, KILLED THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE, NO MORE
DRILLING ON FEDERAL LANDS. PUT ONE PERSON IN CHARGE OF ISSUE ISSUING ALL THE DRILL PERMITS ON FEDERAL LEASES, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? WE’VE GONE FROM ENERGY INDEPENDENT, TO BEING DEPENDENT. WE ARE ACTUALLY IMPORTING 670,000 BARRELS OF OIL PER DAY. THAT IS HOW FAR OFF WE ARE, HOW FAR OFF THE MARK FOR THIS.
ELIZABETH: WHITE HOUSE AND DEMOCRATS ARE MAKING MOVES TO WIN THE MIDTERMS WITH PAUSING STUDENT LOAN DEBT PAYMENTS, THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT A GAS TAX HOLIDAY, GAS TAX REBATES, YOU KNOW, TAPPING THE STRATEGIC RESERVES, THEN BRINGING UP TRUMP. THAT IS WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT TO WIN BACK THE MIDTERMS NOW.
>> YES AND A MILLION BARRELS A DAY FOR SIX MONTHS DOES NOT SOLVE THE ACCESS TO FUEL ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY. SO THEY CAN DO THAT BUT THAT IS A DENT. WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE IMPORTING OIL AND GAS. THE OTHER THING, UNTIL THEY GET RID OF SOME OF THESE
REGULATIONS, STEVE SCALISE WAS POINTING THAT OUT, IT IS REGULATORY OVERREACH THAT THESE GUYS CANNOT BE DRILLING. YOU KNOW, AND THEN THEY’RE TRYING TO BLAME EVERYTHING ON DONALD TRUMP BUT WHEN I TALKED TO TENNESSEANS, LIZ, I GOT TO TELL YOU, THEY SAY, WE WERE A LOT BETTER OFF UNDER PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP THAN WE ARE UNDER JOE BIDEN. ELIZABETH: YEAH A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT. >> RIGHT. THEY KNOW WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE ECONOMY, FOR THE INFLATION, FOR THE PRICE AT THE PUMP. FOR THE EMPTY GROCERY SHELVES. THEY KNOW IS TO BLAME FOR THIS. ELIZABETH: LOOK WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA IS TRYING TO TWEET TO CLEAN UP THIS. YOU WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENED AT THE WHITE HOUSE WHEN THE FORMER PRESIDENT CAME. THE PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS IGNORED. YOU KNOW HIS APPROVAL RATING HAS BEEN FALLING. HE IS NOW AT 39% IN MARIST AND 36% IN QUINNEPIAC.
THIS IS TOUGH FOOTAGE TO WATCH. HE IS STILL OUR PRESIDENT, SENATOR. >> YES, INDEED AND THAT WAS TOUGH FOOTAGE TO WATCH BUT IT JUST SHOWS YOU THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE AN AGENDA. THEY DON’T HAVE A VISION FOR THIS COUNTRY. THEY HAVE AN AGENDA. OF WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, TO
DIMINISH YOUR FREEDOMS AND TO PUT EVERYTHING UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL. WHO HAS BEEN THE CHEERLEADER FOR THAT? WHO ACCOMPLISHED A LOT OF THAT WITH OBAMACARE AND OTHER PROGRAMS? IT WAS BARACK OBAMA. HE IS THEIR HERO. THE WHITE HOUSE IS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE, BIDEN IS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE. HARRIS CAN’T GET HERSELF
TOGETHER TO GIVE A SPEECH. SO WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO? BARACK OBAMA IS GOING TO GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE ONCE A WEEK, THAT WILL GIVE THEM ONE DAY’S WORTH OF POSITIVE NEWS EVERY SINGLE WEEK. ALSO THEY THINK. ELIZABETH: ALSO WE’VE GOT SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUP SURVEYS, YOUNG DEMOCRATIC VOTERS ARE
REALLY WORRIED ABOUT INFLATION AND CRIME. YOU KNOW THE PRESIDENT IS NOW SEEKING DIRTIER OIL FROM CANADA BY RAIL. WE BROKE THE STORY LAST NIGHT. THE ENERGY CRISIS IS ON US, UPON US NOW. WON’T RESTORE KEYSTONE. KEYSTONE I THINK,30 BARRELS OF OIL A DAY. >> THAT’S CORRECT. ELIZABETH: RUSSIA 595-K.
WATCH FORMER NSA FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP H.R. McMASTER. LET’S WATCH HIM, WATCH SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY. WATCH THIS. >> IT DOESN’T PASS THE COMMON SENSE TEST TO CANCEL CANADIAN PIPELINE TO GREEN LIGHT A RUSSIAN ONE. OF COURSE IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE EITHER TO PUT ALL THE OBSTACLES IN PLACE FOR
PERMITTING THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO COMPETE WITH OUR PRODUCTION AND EXPORTS. THEN SUPPLICATE TO THE VENEZUELANS AND IRANIANS TO GET THEM TO INCREASE PRODUCTION AND EXPORTS. >> TOO MANY OF MY DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES LED BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ARE DETERMINED TO WIN UBER WOKE SOCIALIST SWEEPSTAKES AND PART OF WINNING
MEANS DESTROYING THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY. AND WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN KEEPS SAYING TO THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY IS LOOK, I’M GOING TO PUT YOU OUT OF BUSINESS BUT IN THE MEANTIME HELP ME OUT HERE, I NEED TO YOU PRODUCE MORE. YOU KNOW, IT’S, IT’S JUST RIDICULOUS. ELIZABETH: YOU KNOW SENATOR THERE IS THAT.
I WANT TO SHOW THIS, SENATOR. ANDY PUZDER, HE POINTS OUT THIS CHART. INFLATION IS BIDEN’S FAULT. INFLATION QUADRUPLED FROM BELOW 2% WHEN THE PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE TO NEARLY 8%. YOU LOOK WHAT IT IS DOING IN EUROPE. IT IS STILL 2 1/2% IN EUROPE, CANADA, U.K. SLAMMING TRILLIONS OF GOVERNMENT SPENDING INTO AN
ECONOMY WHERE THERE ARE MORE JOB OPENINGS THAN JOBLESS WORKERS IS NOT A GOOD THING, SENATOR. WE HAVE A NEW SAN FRANCISCO FED SURVEY. THREE PERCENTAGE OF THE POINTS SPIKE HIGHER IN INFLATION CAME PRECISELY WHEN THE PRESIDENT SIGNED NEW 2 TRILLION COVID RELIEF BILL. THAT IS INTERESTING ANALYSIS. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS.
>> THERE IS A LOT TO UNPACK IN THOSE TWO SEGMENTS. FIRST OF ALL WE’RE AN ENERGY-BASED ECONOMY. YOU’RE RIGHT, IF YOU FINISHED KEYSTONE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN FINISHED BY THE END OF THIS YEAR IF BIDEN HAD NOT STOPPED IT, 830,000 BARRELS A DAY, COMING IN ON THE PIPELINE, NOT ON RAIL.
SEE WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO DO IS SAY, WELL WE’VE GOT TO GET THE DIRTY CRUDE IN HERE INSTEAD OF CLEAN SWEET CRUDE BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FOR PRODUCTION. WE ARE AN ENERGY BASED ECONOMY. SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ENERGY FOR OUR ECONOMY. AND WHILE THEY ARE SAVING HELP
US OUT, THEY’RE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN OIL AND GAS, THEY’RE MAKING THE PERMITTING DIFFICULT. THEY’RE TELLING BANKS, DON’T BANK THESE GUYS. DON’T LEND THEM MONEY. DON’T FINANCE THESE RIGS AND THIS DRILLING. JUST LEAVE THEM. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE WANTED FIVE DOLLAR A GALLON GAS FOR A LONG TIME AND THEY HAVE GOT IT NOW.
ELIZABETH: SENATOR BLACKBURN, ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON, IT IS GOOD TO
