is bizarre to me. there s lots of reasons why youngkin won. i think to me, that is the most salient reason and least kind of mysterious. senator, to you. terry mcauliffe brought in the cavalry. brought in president biden and vice president harris, former president obama. how much of that matters when gas is 3.35 a gallon or when beef is up double digit percentages over a month or last four weeks or so? getting to those, in some cases, quite literal, kitchen table issue that is we didn t hear from him. as tip o neill said, all politics is local. and i think a lot of people brought in to try to get the base turnout up. which i think succeeded to some extent. there was a base turnout overall
president biden: when the cost of a gallon of gasoline gets to about 330 300 $3.35 a gallon, it has profound impact on working-class families just to get back and forth to work. so i don t see anything inconsistent with that but i do think that the idea that russia and saudi arabia and other major producers are not going to pump more oil so people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is is not is not right. but and what we are considering doing on that, i m reluctant to say before i have to do it. sean: joe, you got rid of energy independence that donald trump handed you. you single-handedly reduced the supply on the world market because you went with new green deal radical socialism. here s a question. does that make any sense from an economic standpoint, a national security perspective, an environmental perspective? producing less oil here at home

opec to some degree and just the, look, i would love to do this. i understand that it s ironic we would like more production coming out of the middle east right now, however, people need to get to work, at $3.35, that is really bad for the average american person who is trying to fill up their car and go to work. that s not necessarily in their messaging documents. no, but gas prices can affect an election more than he called out russia and saudi arabia explicitly on that. i think to be honest, whether it will be viewed as a great press conference or a bad press conference, i think it s an illuminating press conference because you get a better sense what he s thinking. he was asked why haven t more people gone back to work? we get a sense of what he s thinking. getting his thought process on it. i think the other one too is when he was asked about his poll numbers and he made clear, you know, they ve been high, they ve been low, they ve been in the middle. they re back low agai
