"tthanks sfor being with us.eint despicable joe . that's the focus of tonight's angle. all right.s, take when you think the white house couldn't be more shameless, they surprise you and take shamelessness to the next level. leu think thatin everything in politics is just a reaction to donald trump,ng you're wrong. let's start tonight back in twop thousand and eight. when republicans saw the political power of the then global warming crowd and they thought saw it growing. o so supporting obama against biden by obama and biden against mccain and palin, well, sarah palin revealed who biden really was by goading him. >> the chant is drill, baby , drill. i drill.at's what we hear all across this country in our rallies because people are so hungry for those domesticuse sources of energy to be tapped into and in response, biden did what biden still does. he deflected and then he just lied about john mccain has voted 20 times against funding alternative energy sources and thinks, i guess the onlyhe answer is drill, drill, drill, but it will take ten years for e one drop of oil to come out of any the wells that are going to be going to be drilled. >> okay, think about how stupid. this point was.n' so we shouldn't have drilled because more drilling doesn't deliver oil, what, overnight? well, notice the democrats don't have that same concernrn o about the longut timelines for solar and wind. no, no concern there, no infrastructure required there. then after eight years of obama's onerous energy regs, after he signed the disastrousdh paris accords, the democrats hit a major roadblock with the election of donald trump. >> for over 40 years, america was vulnerable to foreign regimes that used energy as an economic weapon. americans quality of life wasfes diminished by the idea that energy resources were too scarce to support our people. the truth is that we have near pomitless supplies of energy in a country powered by new innovation and technology. we are now on the cusp of a true energy revolution. >> and 18 months later, just as he pledged the u.s. exported. more oil than we imported. that was for the first time in 70 plus years. years. so think about this.is. in other words, trump achievedad what richard nixon had promised ,what, 40 years earlier. presidents going back that far . it's astonishing. a we had energstonishingy independ the left and democrats were miserable, though gasoline fore. cars was cheap, heating oil wase reasonable. ating was reasonand we had a gll gas. america was strong and secure because we didn't just have energy independence. we had energavey dominance. >> we have nearly woe hundred years worth of natural gas and more than two hundred and fifty years worth of clean, beautiful coal.l co we are a top producer of petroleum and the number one producer of natural gas.avem we have so much more than wewe ever thought possible. we are really in the drivingu kn seat . and you know what?t? we don't want to let other countries take away our sovereignty and tell us what to do. u do and hand how to do it. wi and five years later, with trump on , that's exactly what's happening. other countries are controllingu our destiny, our economy, because joe biden's green goblindestin economy haved our energy independence. so now ope c is in the driver's seat . oh, alonoursg with russia, oe.f course. thank you very much.k you vejoe biden is literally begging some of the most despotic regimes around to pump more oil. again, let's remembeagain,r thes that got us here.biden' biden's ows n administration tok out an early hit on the oilwn and gas industry, driving down production, which, of course, drove up energy costs. the then they started funding a proxy war against russia and launched meaningless sanctions against russian oil,ns which only further stoked energy prices.l whic for the stov and now biden and co., they'reno fine with high gas prices. in fact, they want high gas prices. e issue but they knew the issue was hurting them politically. so politic they recklessly tapea the strategic petroleum reserves, whicch did artificially drop the price of gas. well, that ticked off the saudis and opec and russia. so they simply respondedy sa by saying, okay, joe two can tha play at that marketlati manipulation gamon ge. uction we're going to cut our production by two million barrels per day. in other words, everythingng bin biden did backfired. t holdin and we're left holding the bag. his oil play will go down m as one of the most costly, most craven and most despicableers ir political maneuvers in recent american history.t american history. and now biden and co., they're stuck between a rock and a hardu place. americans are about to get hammered even worse than before. and recession is now a certaintintyy. fau but it's not biden's fault. of course not. after he bragged repeatedly during the campaign of allof a the great relationll ts he had forged with foreign leaders around the world. >> due to u.s. relations with saudi arabia. and it's a short sightedrelati decision. it is its ow'sn purported it's on its own purported self-interest that opec plus made the decision upon. >> and so we see it as a mistake on this particularwow. decision. >> wow. she's kidding us . you mean nations act inact in their own self-interest? wow. a >> this is actually a revelation to these people, do they not? thesremember what other countris did during covid? remember, they hoarded their ow n. but before you panic because things look really bad, let's face it,, becaus just remember,s has an energy savant in place at the department of transportation. >> we're in transition and transitions are complicated and we need to manage this transition need to in a smart wo but we can't afford to drag our feet. and they're certainl y nothing to be gained by trying to stop this progress. >>ying to this is progress now soy wonder, trying to south bend your thinking on what will be a desperately sad time r for so many americans who live. paycheck to paycheck. of th none of these peoplees care abot your economic pain. none of theme .wi they're fine with you havingto a lower standard of living because to them it's all collateral damage. it's all collateral damage. along the road to the green nirvana. >> they will not change their policy. this is their policy.r policy but the most loathsome action of all is the fact that they're playing games with our national they are downha our oil reserves that are supposed to be there for truee emergencies. now, looergek atncie this chart this is where biden has taken us to the brink. this is beyond dangerousther and there's no end in sight to what they're going to try to do to claw back public support, t use all of the tools at our disposal to have adequate supply of energy globally.ob those actions, includingallythos our historice use of the strategic petroleum reserve to release a million barrels of the day intof stra the market hd an impact. oil prices are down significantly from where they were earlier in the summer. n as wels a result, gas prices are down as well. >> laura liars prices are going up. the american people are going to suffer. and there's no wonder that 70%o of them now say the next generation won't have the sameeh qualitaty of life that they hadl but you can feel it, right? americans are increasingly pessimistic and the democrats . they onlt care they only pretend to and then they take dangerous steps like the spr release, and they only do that around election time. but after the election, if they somehow manage to keep the majority this close, when i get in there, you are in for a world of pain, a world of pain.or a wor and that'sld of pain. the anglen joining me now is arkansas senator tom cotton, author of the upcoming book only the strong reversing the left's plot to sabotagesm cotton amerin power. senator , we hav e just overmillio four hundred million barrelsn left in this strategic petroleum reserve. the administration today made h it clear they have no planave nf stopping their release of more oil. explain why this is so dangerous. well, it's obvious why they're doing that, laura , because we4s had an election in thirty four days and the price of gas has gone up by a quarter in most places around the country, once again, touching up against four c and fiveount dollars a gallon. but i think you put it well and as i write in, only the strong the democrats plan is declines plan by design. we we don't have five dollarsallo a gallon gas in this country by accident. it's not an unintended consequence. it's nunintendit's not bad luckl machinations of oil company executives or opec. it's because joe biden and progressive democrats want gas to be that expensive. they wan t you to get out ofng suv your gas guzzling suv orr stopvaminin. they want farmers to have to thop using diesel for tractors and other farm instruments. they think that you're going t e be able to replace all t theseew things with electric vehicles, which, by the way, reallway are coal powered or natural gas natr powered or nuclear elwered vehicles becauseal o the electricity has to come from somewhere and it doesn't come from the sun when it's not shining or the wind when it's not blowing it at root law. >>wind wha wt this really is , gets back to the far leps, anticapitalistto views. i mean, energy, literally. powers are modern economy.foundg you know, our founding fathers didn't have much different quality of life than disciplesi did. and that's becausefein eight hundre jesd years on ,user the sources of energy were the same. it's only in the last two hundred years with fossil fuels, first coal and then oilfo and gas. >>ssil and then you add nuclear power into that mix that we'ver achieved. truethat energy. >> and the senator andah. the joe biden. just jump in here because people want to know what next. so let's say you guyy yos do mae to get that seat and you take ad the majority, maybe take a couple seats, you take the majority in the senate. what canwh republicansat do to p this madness? if anything, once you reclaim the majority? >> well, at a minimum, we can use our spending power, which we've got to pass every year tto force the biden administration to take certain actions, whether it's permittingd ga new pipelines or other oil and gas developments, issuing new permit, s and having new lease sales. we did this in the late obermayr once we won back the senate and the house in 2015, for instance, we lifted the 40 year old ban on oil exports, going back to the jimmy carter era. speaking of democratic presidents who intentionally tried to hobble american energy, thesest are things that steps that wewe can take to restore america'so t oil and gas production, thator a can encourage more drilling,dril more production, not only folinr our own energy needs, but forur those of our allies and partners all around the world. partner by the biden administration. the democrats are doing thisn on purpose. puthey recognize the political danger of it, though. suc that's whyh they are taking such risky steps like this. they know it.>> laura the only recent releases. yeah, it's it'eyond obvious s beyond obvious. that's what they're doing. which brings me to my next question. again. if the republicans take the majority, can we expect hearings in the senate that probe whether the motivation for releasing millions and millions of barrels from p that spr and potentially endae ering the american peopl at a time of emergency?as whether that was done for political reasons, who was involved in that decision making? to me, that' s a reallyquestion important question. i'm not saying it's necessarilyo an impeachablet sa offense, but it's pretty important that we find why that was done. >> laura , i think we need to get to the bottom of it.th i think we know what we'reend. going to find out in the end. throink it's the political tsas throughout the administration reporting back to thet. president and his political allies or >>litical aides in the white house. >> well, thara: t can'thatt be . the strategic petroleum, tajik petroleum reserve. it's not it's not the political petroleum reserve.petroleu and the reason why they'rem rese releasing this oil and gas, lon, they recognize, even though they want gas to be at five dollars a gallon, nique they recognize that this is a unique pain point for most american families. icanfamiand they've got to at lt appear to be taking action. 34 days before the thirty four days for an election. that's why they're also blaming opec and blaming evitheyl oil companies for trying to drive up the price of oil in pri this country. back to but that directly translates back to their own failed energy policies. policies just imagine a hurricane like hurricane ian . yeah, i mean, i think that a hurricane like hurricane ian , well, they're defrauding the american people. that's not their oilef traudo pp with .e. that's our oil collectively. and they're playing politics with just that one . issue. i mean, that is the republicans have got to get to i don'tit has think we can assume anything.n t i think it has to be provenwa that this was s a calculated political move which is endangering the futurich is america. i wa and i wantnt to know who was responsible. i want to see the emails. thin and i think you guys arerfectl perfectly positioned. if you get the senat e to take charge of this matter because we can't let this happen again. this is too important. ur boo >>k. senator , i can't wait to read your book. thank you so much.thank now,yo and on top of what they'e doing to our oil reserves, they're trashing our schools. this tonight from illinois. a new report by the group west wire points reveals that children in illinois schoolst are performing at even the most basic level. an and it's hitting minorities especially hard now statewide in 2019, even before the pandemic, just 36% of allth- third graders. we're reading at grade level. 36% now that goes down too 27 twenty seven point seven . seven percent for hispanic students. black stfor black students. now, gets worse.you look a when you look at the citiese cii indicator,es 17% of hispanicdec, third graders and two percent of black students read at grade. level two percent.in and in chicago, 2020 one states reveal less than eleven point tn eight percent of hispanic thirds graders and only nine point seven percent of black students read at grade level. this is again, you keep saying it can't get worse. that's that's worse. joining me now is tony kenneth , co founder and executive director of chalkboard review. he's a former indiana teacher who was fired after he exposede. the nonsense what was going wasg on with crt at the schools. tonyoi, when you hear people say that democrats care aboutyou he the kids, racism is keeping kids back . what are they doing via the the teachers unions in these schools? y dointo cause this to happen? >> well, clearly, the idea of using the exact same progressive policies over and over again to attemp samt tt teach reading and math in a way that is not actually shown ton a improve reading or math scores for any student based on any research that we have doneagainn trying that again and againg soe and accept expecting some kind different result is the definition of insanity.insani and now we are seeinty. g these children pay the price for that kind of incompetence and quite honestly, it's a shame to sees that some of the biggest schools in our countryry are t doing the largest amount of harm to our students who need this material the most. . >> well, you hear that.>> lau yorau hear the word equity thro. around a lot. so we're going to have equitable outcomes. we have but the more you look into whate that means and we have some news out of d.c., which we're going to get to, but it just means lowering everybody's learning, reading proficiency. . and d.c. is already horrific scores. they continue to go down.e share now, the share of students who pass the math exam fellfellt 12 percentage points from thirty one pointo s, five percet before the pandemic to 19% in 2020 two.owest ever recor that's the lowest ever recordedd in d.c. so which is to consider how much it's incredible when you consider how much those districts spend per student. 300 they spend thirty thousand dollars a year per student and they can't evend n get their students to read at grade level.chicag chicago's now approaching thirty thousand dollars per student per year. >> it's incredible. well, in a friend of mine who actually teaches in the d.c. public school system was fantastic, she said. the laura , the sad thing herer th is that the big focus for the last two years was whether kids were going to be had the mask properly fitting or whether they were socialt distancing, not whether they were actually learning anything. and meanwhile, you have educational fascist randi weingarten spouting out. our future depends on our youngg people being educated, being critical thinkers, knowing how to be resilient. and those relationshipt and bu e the kind of community that actually makes a better, more sustainable, more peacefu world. >> oh, my god, what a paul trone selling out the kids for what she calls sustainabilitysut as she holdsai a stupid cardboad pencil that says invest in teachers. what i mean, how is this not like a national outcry cry just about this fact? i mean, this is the same teachers union president that hel? d a flag saying that she supported ukraine and the ukrainian flag was upside down in the union advertisement. she's repeatedly claimedwas upst she has tried to get students back into schools where, according to recent memory thata all of us have, she was goingsin on national television during the covid pandemic, begging schools to keep clothes. she was actually exposed for working behind the doors with the cdc to change the guidance in order to keep kids out of schools. >> longer. lment >>ra and that's why enrollment rates are dropping as quickly as they are. eat to s, tony, great to see you tonight. thank you. now, the liberal media keep the kind of dismissing this idea of the red wave, but we have numbers that may say otherwise. chris bedford is heris here.e. >> we'll go up to the big screen next. >> a heart attack. do they have life insurance?
