>> it is very important the president of the united states and us senators toward the truth to the american people. that is all we want is the truth. and when products go up, if gasoline goes from $2 a gallon to $3 down everything costs more. it is plain and simple. because all the manufacturers delivering through all the stores in the city and the country costs us more to deliver costs the more to receive the products. what a product goes up and peanut butter goes up one dollar a jar that raises the price. plain and simple. gun benjamin: this is how they respond to it. this is what jen psaki said, take that, scrooge, the grinch and all those who down this could happen, shelter stocks at 90%, so how do you explain the discrepancy? you are saying all these prices are rising, this continues to go on but the administration just doesn't see it or won't admit it. >> not telling the truth to the american people. when the price of gasoline goes up 90% of products that you buy in the stores get affected and that is the plain truth. they have responsibility to tell the truth. a month ago you called this with you are on with maria bartiroma you said prices were going to skyrocket. what did you see back then? was it you saw in the economy that told you this was going to happen? >> we saw the price increases coming from different manufacturers and they weren't effective until november or december so we knew november and december prices were going up and the fact is every public company the ceos prices up in november or december so they don't have lousy earnings. when you raise the prices of corporations raise the cost of corporations these people are not dumb people, they are going to reflect on the consumer. that is what it comes down to. benjamin: you called the some of the going to these praise risers are coming. you looked into your metropolitan the future, what do you think is going to happen? what policies do we need to reverse this? >> i think prices are going to stay high until the second or third quarter in 2022. what you need to reverse it, the pipelines. bring down the price of crude oil, bring down the price of gasoline that will reverse it. people to go back to work without bonuses to stay at home and more people will go to work and that will reverse it. common sense, don't pay people to stay home and america has 100 years worth of oil and if we use the oil from alaska, use the oil from canada the price of oil will go down. why are we begging opec for all your when we have? >> that seems unlikely to happen. we saw president biden shut down the pipelines, keystone, looks like he will continue looking abroad for oil prices, for oil sources but you say oil might reach $100 a barrel in the future. what effect is that going to have on the economy? >> prices are going to go further up and it will be a tax on the poor and the poor and middle-class, that is all it is. the biden white house telling you prices are not going up is not true. when you raise the prices on corporations and corporations raise the prices on consumers, prices will go up. that is common sense. benjamin: do you see any light at the end of the tunnel, any hope that their policies might get control of this crisis? >> that the tax bill doesn't go into effect, getting past, the floor next one. west virginia has decided to have some common sense and not vote for it and that will put away further tax increases that won't lower, that will stop the price increases. to stop the price increases is bringing down the price of crude oil and in canada and alaska, we are capable of sending it down to the states. benjamin: that is all we have time for. all the best to you and merry christmas, thank you. >> god bless america. >> times 4:24 on the east coast. are your tax dollars going to the taliban?
