been a third world country that allowed people to pour in. they would stand there with sticks and stones if they had to. what s happening to our country. but in terms of doing it, you don t need eight years and you don t need four years. we can have a lot of it done, because these guys are amazing, the oil guys. they will be in fact i had it so low that we had to raise it or they would have all been out of business. we had so much oil we didn t know what to do with it. we bought a lot for the strategic national reserves that he then took, to keep the prices down before an election. you know, we had the strategic national reserves almost full. and then biden came along and took it to keep prices down. it s called artificially down. and the thing is almost empty now and that s meant for times of war not meant to keep the price down for an automobile, it s meant for war, for real problems. and we had it 75, think of it, 75 million barrels and i bought it for peanuts. and congress, i had
candidate in a contested racein in this country. and it s my obligation, my duty to make sure voters in pennsylvania d appreciate that. this reminds me of the biden campaign in 2020, does it not? i mean, he was essentially a hologram candidate. they only trotted him out rarely. they kindnl of cited covid, campaigned in the basement, had a few debates, but it was it was kid gloves, treatment of biden to protect him t to get trump. and you see some of the same dynamics at play here and they re seizing on every now just idiotic points about something you said aboutio crudités. now,th that s the most important thing in pennsylvania as they re against frackingva and claiming that they re fordw the steelworkers and for the oilor for the oil guys, without question. let me just walk through to one example, becausee this e a very hot topic inxa pennsylvania. john fetterman has argued we should release one third of all prisoners in pennsylvania. he s bragged about all the murders that he has pa
candidate in the contented race in the country and it s my obligation and duty that voters in pennsylvania appreciate that. laura: it just reminds me of the joe biden campaign in 2020, he was essentially a hologram candidate. they only trotted amounts rarely and kind of cited covid campaign with a few debates, but it was kid gloves treatment to protect him. and you see some of the same dynamic at play here and it s on every any idiotic point about something you said about crudites? that is close in pennsylvania. and they are against fracking and claiming that they are for the fieldworkers and for the oil guys. without question, i will walk you through one example, a hot topic in pennsylvania, arguing we should release one-third of all prisoners in pennsylvania and is bright about all the murderers that he has partnered yet he has the highest lawyer rate ever and that is up 60%
