to be truly independent. we are producing about 35 trillion cubic feet of gas aa year. we need to do 35 to 40. we are basically shipping 13 billion cubic feet a day of allergy overseas to help our allies and it needs to be between 20 and 30. we can get there but they have to basically commit themselves. they let me make it very clear. if this administration does not honor what it said it would do and basically continue to liberalize that, we are $384 billion is what we re supposed to invest over 10 years and they blow that out of the water, six or seven or eight, i will do everything i can in my power to prevent that from happening and if they don t change, then i would vote to repeal my own bill. sean: let me ask you this, senator. you have been critical of joe biden. he said he will not negotiate directly with kevin mccarthy. we have a third ceiling plan
