AND FORMER ACTING THE WHITE
HOUSE COUNSEL OF ECONOMIC
ADVISERS FIRST LET’S WATCH A
REPORTER GETTING PUSHED OUT OF
THE MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT
YESTERDAY AFTER ASKING ABOUT
RUSSIA AND OIL, WATCH THIS.
[INAUDIBLE]
OKAY GUY’S LET’S GO THANK YOU
LET’S GO.
>> LET’S GO.
LET’S GO, THANK YOU.
GUY’S LET’S GO.
>> THANK YOU BRICKWORK’S
CONGRESSMAN MACE WHY IS WHITE
HOUSE ALL OVER THE MAP ON A
RUSSIAN OIL EMBARGO?
>> IT’S HARD TO SAY AND I’LL
TELL YOU JUST YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON RIGHT BEFORE I WAS
BOARDING MY FLIGHT HOME TO
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA I
LEARNED NANCY PELOSI HAD A
HEARING AND OVERSIGHT CANCELED
NEXT WEEK THOSE SCOUTS WITH THE
OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY.
I DON’T THINK THIS
ADMINISTRATION OR DEMOCRATS
RIGHT NOW WANT TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS ABOUT OIL AND GAS WENT
RUSSIA IS INVADED THE UKRAINE
BECAUSE THIS IS PRECISELY THE
METHOD HOW PUTIN FUNDS HIS WAR
MACHINE IS THROUGH THE GAS
ECONOMY AND WE ARE FINDING IT BY
THE TUNE OF 600,000 BARRELS A
DAY OF OIL THAT WE IMPORT FROM
RUSSIA EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THAT OIL IS STAINED WITH
UKRAINIAN BLOOD.
>> THOMAS OF THE PHILLIPS AND
IT’S ABOUT EIGHT TO 10% OF
SUPPLY.
BUT WHAT YOUR REACTION TO THIS
WE GOT CHAOTIC WHITE HOUSE AND
MESSAGING IT SHOWS HOW THE FAR
LEFT HAS CAPTURED THE WHITE
HOUSE AND THE TIME OF WAR.
LET’S SET IT UP THEY ARE TALKING
PROCESS WHEN THE WORLD SAYS YES,
RUSSIA IS COMMITTING WAR CRIMES
FOR THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS
SECRETARY NO STRATEGIC INTEREST
IN CUTTING OFF A RUSSIAN OIL
POINT IS RUSSIA BOMBS UKRAINE.
BUDDHA JUDGMENT BAFFLING VOTERS
OF THE MYSTIFYING ANSWER AND GAS
PRICES GOING UP, WATCH THIS.
>> ZELENSKY SAID RUSSIAN ACTIONS
CLEARLY CONSTITUTE A WAR CRIME.
BORIS JOHNSON ALSO SAID THE
TARGETING OF CIVILIANS FULLY
QUALIFIES AS A WORK IN THE
PRESENT WOULD NOT GO THAT FAR
HIT HIS SHIP AFTER THEY WISELY
BEEN RELUCTANT TO LABEL THESE AS
WAR CRIMES?
>> WAS SET UP A PROCESS
INTERNALLY AN INTERNAL TEAM TO
ASSESS AND LOOK AT AND EVALUATE
EVIDENCE OF WHAT WE ARE SEEING
HAPPEN ON THE GROUND PRETTY
HEARD ME SAY THIS IF YOU TIMES
BEFORE WE DO NOT HAVE A
STRATEGIC INTEREST IN REDUCING
THE GLOBAL SUPPLY OF ENERGY.
AND THAT WOULD RAISE PRICES AT
THE GAS APART FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE IS
NEVER BEEN OPERATION OF TAKE
YEARS FOR THAT TO HAVE ANY
IMPACT.
>> DURING THOSE YEARS WERE IT
WOULD TAKE TO BRING DOWN GAS
PRICES AS YOU’RE SAYING WE
SHOULD JUST CONTINUE TO BUY
RUSSIAN OIL QUESTIONER.
>> AGAIN JACK YOU ARE FAMILIAR
WITH THE NUMBER OF STEPS WE HAVE
TAKEN AN HISTORIC PETROLEUM
RESERVE.
LET ME FINISH BY.
>> THE PRESIDENT HAD SAID ALL
OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE WE ALSO
NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT
GALLOPING AFTER PERMANENT
SOLUTIONS TO IMMEDIATE
SHORT-TERM PROBLEMS.
>> THAT IS BUTTIGIEG TALK ABOUT
BUYING IRAN OIL AND TALK ABOUT
THE PUTTING BACK IN THE KEYSTONE
PIPELINE.
THOMAS YOUR REACTION?
>> YES THE BIG PICTURE HERE WAS
THE WHITE HOUSE NOT ONLY
FINANCING A WAR AND MAKING
COSTLY ENERGY FOR OUR CITIZENS,
IT IS ALSO ON TOP OF IT RAISING
GLOBAL WARMING WHICH IS THE
EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE
AGENDA TRIES TO DO.
BASICALLY THE ONLY WAY GLOBAL
WARMING POLICY LIVE GREEN ENERGY
IS MORE COSTLY THAN FOSSIL FUELS
OTHERWISE THE MARKET WOULD
ELIMINATE FOSSIL FUEL VERY
QUICKLY.
SO WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THE TRADE
OFF AT BASICALLY, HE ENGAGED IN
MORE COSTLY ENERGY TO LOWER
TEMPERATURES IN THE FUTURE.
WHAT THEIR POLICY IS DOING BY
HAVING A WAR ON U.S. FOSSIL
FUELS IS THE CLEANEST OF FOSSIL
FUELS IN THE WORLD IS
SUBSTITUTING U.S. FOSSIL FUELS
FOR DIRTIER FOSSIL FUELS IN
RUSSIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES FOR
THE BOTTOM LINE IS ESSENTIALLY
U.S. CUSTOMERS PAY MORE FOR
ENERGY THROUGH THESE POLICIES
AND ALSO POLLUTING MORE AT THE
SAME TIME.
ELIZABETH: NEVER GOT THIS AT
MENENDEZ, SHAHEEN, JOINING
SENATOR MANCHIN SAYING YES TO
RUSSIAN OIL EMBARGO THE WHITE
HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF CLAIMS IN A
PODCAST WE DO NOT WANT TO DO
THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD THREATEN
THE UNITY OF THE ALLIES GOING
AGAINST RUSSIA INCLUDING CANADA.
CANADA’S DOING ON RUSSIAN OIL
WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
>> PRECISE THEY’LL TELL YOU
WHAT’S ON THE HILL THIS WEEK
ULTIMO BRIEFINGS ABOUT RUSSIAN
INVASION OF UKRAINE.
AND I WILL TELL YOU DEMOCRATS --
LIKE THE ONES I HAVE SPOKEN TO
HER EQUALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION AS REPUBLICANS
ARE RIGHT NOW.
MULTIPLE PEOPLE I’VE SPOKEN TO
ON THE OTHER SIDE I WOULD LIKE
TO SEE US BAN ON IMPORTS OF
RUSSIAN OIL BUT WE HAVE CLEANER
FOSSIL FUELS AND IN FACT THE
STATE OF NEW YORK ALONE HAS
ENOUGH NATURAL RESOURCES TO FUEL
ALL OF EUROPE FOR THE NEXT 150
YEARS UNTIL WE ARE ALL ON
ELECTRIC CARS.
THERE IS TIME HERE TO GET THIS
DONE AND NOT PAY FOR PUTIN’S WAR
OR THEY WERE CRIMES THAT HE IS
COMMITTING.
THEY ARE CLEAR AS DAY WE SEE
EVERY SINGLE DAY AS THEY UNFOLD
ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN REAL-TIME.
ELIZABETH: EVEN WITH THE
CONGRESSMAN SAID WHY THE DELAY?
TWO MEMBER WHEN JOE BIDEN’S
ENERGY SECRETARY LAUGHED WHEN
ASKED WHAT SHE WOULD DO A THING
ABOUT GAS PRICES?
THAT WAS IN GAS WAS AT $2.89,
WHAT YOU THINK THOMAS FINAL WORD
WORD?
>> IS KIND OF SIMILAR DEMOCRATS
HAVE VERY SIMILAR TURNS OUT
COVID POLICY AND ENERGY POLICY
THE COSTLY GREEN NEW DEAL WAS
SORT OF A COSTLY WAY TO PREVENT
A RISE IN TEMPERATURE.
JUSTICE COSTLY LOCKDOWNS WERE
TOO COSTLY AWAY TO HAVE A RISE
IN DISEASE VERY SIMILAR PAY WHAT
SHOULD BE THE FOCUS THE
SINGLE-MINDED FOCUS IN THE LONG
TERM OF THE U.S. SHOULD YOU BE
TO HAVE GREEN ENERGY INNOVATION
THAT BRINGS DOWN GREEN ENERGY
COST BELOW FOSSIL FUEL.
IT’S KIND OF LIKE WHEN IN
OPERATION WARP SPEED GREEN
ENERGY THAT WE DID WITH COVALENT
