Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future Daniel Turner joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to shed light on how the Biden administration’s energy policies have put the U.S. in a tough spot regarding our dependence on the Middle East for oil production.
“You can’t say Joe Biden’s energy policy cause the Iranian-paid attacks on Israel. You can’t say the Joe Biden energy policy caused the invasion of Ukraine either. But you can say that Joe Biden energy policies have drastically raised the price of oil and gas on the world market. And bad actors who have oil and gas are now flushed with cash. And those bad actors go to war, right? Our own oil and gas industry, how many times have CEOs been hauled before Congress where they’ve been told that they’re greedy and they have record profits? All that is true by the way, they have record profits because of these energy policies. They’ve driven up the price of oil. If you’re an American energy company, though, you give a higher dividend to your shareholders, you give your team bonuses. But if you’re Iran, you build bombs and you fund Hezbollah and Hamas. Or if you’re Vladimir Putin, you pay off more soldiers to build a bigger army and you invade Ukraine. So, absolutely, it is not one step. It is two steps. But there is there is a direct linear path from energy policies to our national security. And it’s always going to be that way.”
Daniel and Jimmy also share their thoughts on Louisiana Republican Congressman Mike Johnson being elected the 56th Speaker of the House. To hear what else he had to say, listen to the podcast!
