is it, iran, saudi arabia or venezuela to try to boost energy production. that s where we are right now. right. the problem is the american people see it for what it s at. don t forget we re in this position on gas and oil because of the intentional conduct of joe biden. on day one on january 20th when he was inaugurated he did a couple of things. he signed an executive order killing the keystone pipeline. jen psaki can say all she wants how it won t increase production but also on day one he ended oil and gas leases for many oil companies and drilling companies across the country. he increased taxes on those same companies and don t forget he appointed john kerry as his supposed environmental czar that went around recently went to europe and said by the way, vladimir putin, while you are threatening nuclear war, don t
