Tucker looks at how Biden is staying true to his campaign promise to end fossil fuels and his solution to solve the problem of rising gas prices by imposing new taxes, because of course that makes sense. Highlights include:
“Over time, it is possible to draw legitimate connections between decisions that politicians make and the catastrophes that follow. The rise in gas prices, for example. The price of gas in America now qualifies as a catastrophe.”
“’We’re going to end fossil fuel.’ End fossil fuel? The basis of the entire American economy? How are we going to do that, and why?”
“Biden didn’t explain, and again, because no one believed he was actually going to win, no one thought to ask. The assumption then was that Biden was only running for president because he was old and sad and didn’t know what else to do with his retirement.”
“As president, he pledged, ‘No more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill. Period.’”
“Biden stopped issuing permits for new oil and gas leases. He canceled federal drilling permits and pipelines. Then, just a month ago the administration canceled three oil and gas leases in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico and then eliminated more than a million acres of potential drilling sites.”
“And then to cap it off, you may have noticed, Joe Biden imposed an oil embargo on Russia, which is one of the world’s biggest energy producers, because democracy — or something.”
“So what happened next? Well, gas went went to over $5/gallon, inflation exploded, India and China got a whole lot more cheap Russian oil to keep their economies humming, and then the ruble got even stronger than it was before the war in Ukraine. So everyone got rich except us.”
“Biden’s got a plan. He’s going to impose a new tax on energy. That way, gas prices will drop. Because, when you make something cost more, actually it’s cheaper to buy. Does that make sense?”
