i thought about that when i was thinking about keystone pipeline and the keystone cops.the keystone cops of running government. they can't do anything right. shutting down that keystone pipeline, which would allow for the heavy sour crude, which our refineries are set up to refine in the gas. we're seeing $5 gas prices. this administration is running around like the keystone cops going how is this happen something. >> neil: what is interesting now, secretary, you mentioned what is going on in europe. seems like an embarrassing situation for vladimir putin to say don't worry, i might have your back and deal with production. i'm paraphrasing here. when you are depending on vladimir putin to be nice, you're in a bind. >> the weather is mild right now. when the weather really gets cold, this were people that froze in europe because putin cut off the gas trying to get his political will done. if you think that will not happen again, then you may not be anywhere near smart enough to be running this country. that is what really -- doesn't just irritate me, it's a scary thought

as far as the keystone pipeline, i do not know what biden has against trump, but just think about the price of gasoline. how it is passing through the economic cycle. the same way as the truck goes through the retailer, the whole thing, and i feel that if we go back to the stone pipeline, regardless of if you are king or democrat or what ever you are, and the price of gasoline, our country will get rid of inflation. host: sabrina in new york city. democrat. good morning. are you with us? jimmy and athens. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for noticing the measurability of enthusiasm. i want to talk about inflation. it is in the news a lot, and it has economic history with inflation. the highest inflation has been in my lifetime was 1980, ronald reagan was elected president. not only was inflation high that year, but so is unemployment. that was the main reason reagan one. while reagan was president, he immediately tackled the unemployment issue by lifting defense. that caused jobs to be created that we did not have unemployment. inflation stuck around for a while, and the

joining me now, lynn allen who was laid off when president biden killed the keystone pipeline. to you. the high cost of oil and gas, rising prices there appear to have taken the biden administration by surprise. are you surprised by this? >> i'm not surprised at all because everything president biden has touched or done has failed, nothing but a total failure. we went from america first to america last and america last, trump had it going on. we have all these high prices of oil and gas, we have rest stop crews ready to go, pipeline contractors stacked in the yards and i tell you right now we can put america's working next week if we needed to. carley: what i am hearing you say is president biden has the power to lower gas prices if he wanted to. >> sure. all he has to do is put the american people back to work with all he what is a job and i guarantee you people are really going to be impacted this winter that have gotten more jobs like a dollar an hour job or $12 an hour job, driving to and from work, keep your house heated. it is going to hurt the average american family thi

i assume that's why they canceled the keystone pipeline. i assume that's how they justify buying gas and oil from countries that don't like us. i assume they do not understand the effects of the colonial pipeline shutdown, what it had on this country. now we're begging opec to make more oil and make it affordable. member of this committee need to start focusing on the issues that are impacting everyday americans and the consequences of an overly ambitious and unrealistic climate agenda. i don't know about the rest of y'all on this committee but the people of south carolina did not send me to washington to bankrupt our country. and even the phrase "build back better" needs to be changed to "bankrupt america quicker." we should have a hearing about some of the proposals of democrats to spend hard working american taxpayers' money on liberal pipe dreams. i would love to learn more about the proposal to spend $3.5 billion for the green new deal youth patrol aimed at helping jobless climate activists. does anyone really believe the youth patrol

took his job and made his first order of business to cancelled the keystone pipeline. build back better agenda. >> three hours after the president's inauguration, i lost my job on the construction of the keystone pipeline. my crisis is not the climate. my crisis is the mortgage payments i have due every month, the food on my table and it's the healthcare i need to provide to my family. instead of demonizing the ceos and presidents that are here today, i would like to thank them for the opportunity that they provided me. >> neil, the big message we heard from crabtree but every day americans around the country. they're concerned what is happening to them today right now. it's the rising energy prices and the rising gas prices. again, when the committee had an opportunity to talk about this issue and really try to come up with some solutions, not really any solutions came out of that. neil? >> neil: no, more talk about the climate, the nasty price climate. thanks very much. hillary vaughn in washington on that. an old line that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

cancelling the keystone pipeline was a horrible idea. the fact of the matter is since 2000, the united states has been not only a leader in energy production in the world but also in reducing co2 emissions. those are both remarkable achievements. we should do everything in our power to continue to facilitate this time of success. the energy industry let us not forget is responsible for ten million high paying jobs in this country. it's also a national security issue. we had a few months back, mike pompeo in washington. one of the primary reasons was because of our abundance of fossil fuels. some of the folks in congress seem to be intent on us letting venezuela and iran and china and russia, countries that aren't as committed to safety. they don't have the protocol and the precaution and the procedures and commitment to safety that we do in this country. that's why we should be exploring offshore and drilling alaska and keystone pipeline because this country, when we produce energy, it's safer for the environment. it's better for every o

on day one president biden destroyed 11,000 american jobs by canceling the keystone pipeline. he pawed new -- paused new domestic gas leases and decreased the g.d.p. by $700 billion. instead of allowing increase in domestic production and hire new u.s. workers, president biden and his administration has pleaded with opec and russia to increase the global output to ease rising foul prices. democrats -- fuel prices. democrats are pushing a multitrillion-dollar spending package that increases fuel. this jeopardizes america's energy security and increase costs for all american families, unfortunately. so thank you, mr. speaker, for giving me the opportunity. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: thank you. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess subject to the call of the chair.

the keystone pipeline, and blocking production in western united states, i would expect in his speechill double down on the reckless tax and spending bill, challenge make it worse for american energy, people are paying a 7 year high for gas at pump, $25 more every time you fill up, higher prices. 7 year high for natural gas, half of the homes in america are supplied with natural gas. his solution? asking probe -- asking vladimir putin for. >> senator every now and then you hear something you, don't believe it. it so defies logic, when i heard he wanted america producers to ramp down their production but then asked opec to increase their production, we produce cleaner energy, why would you ask the guys doing it better to stand down, but let saudi arabia stand up. it longic defying? >> it is defying logic. the president does not understand a couple key basic truths, we can protect your environment here in united states, without punishing our economy. we all want to make energy as clean as we can, fast as we can. do it in ways that don't raise cost for american consumers, you know who ge

williams: in the past few months, in office, president biden canceled the keystone pipeline which killed over 11,000 american jobs and paused oil and gas leasing on u.s. lands and waters. the consequences of his policy decision vs. been dire for america and hardworking families and the numbers don't lie. home heating costs are projected to rise by as much as 54%. the national average for a gallon of gasoline reached $3.38. and u.s. households are on track to spend $19 billion more on energy by 2030. instead of working on bipartisan climate solutions, democrats are more focused on implementing their radical green new deal policies and making us less energy independent. from increased costs at the pump to heating bills, americans are feeling the pain of president biden's anti-energy policy in their wallets. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. williams: bottom line. socialism does not work. in god we trust. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from iowa -- the gentleman from iowa seek recognition? the gentlewoman, i'm sorry. m

which is the keystone xl pipeline. one of the biggest in the worlda he shut that down and he allowed the biggest in the world from russia into europe and germany in particular. it's -- you can only ask him why. i can't tell you why, doesn't make sense. you can only ask him why. >> sean: well, i think the fact that maybe hunter made all this money, you know, we justt saw they had a pretty good read on hunter biden. knew about the drug addiction, they knew about his use of prostitutes. they had his book. china did his $1.5 billion deal, i would imagine they are spy agencies if libya had it, they probably had a pretty good read on hunter biden. you probably have compromising details to use the words that adam schiff made famous, on the bidens. is that a stretch on my part to suspect that what they know about hunter could in fact impact joe biden? >> mr. trump: not really my position to say, as you know, they have investigations going on. but those investigations are going nowhere. the only investigate republicans, frankly

three h hours after president biden's inauguration, i lost my job on the construction of the keystone pipeline.ke now i realize this was only one project, but what i really feared was the consequences of the decisions that it would have on our future and now i see those fears being realized. not only did i lose an employment opportunity but i'm losing employment opportunities because of energy companies that seem to be hesitant to plan other projects we need in this and all this is happening while e the demand for energy is rising. the build back better shouldn't mean neglect and destruction of the energy a infrastructure as e know it. people from coast-to-coast are feelingg the pain of rising energy prices and there seems to be no thought given to the hundreds of thousands of workers in this industry or the millions of projects that we use every single day that are provided by fossil fuels. there shouldn't be a fear of a heating shortage this coming winter, but yet here we are. americans need to know that there isn't a fuel shortage. that's not the cause of the rising prices. rising

. >> the first order of business was to cancel the keystone pipeline and the committee heard from one i may have been the first casualty of the build back better, three house after president biden's inauguration i lost my job on construction of the keystone pipeline. >> the president pushing the plan on the hill yesterday, the same day as testimony. gas prices averaging $3.40 nationally, hitting $5 a gallon in california. todd: meantime, meta-? jillian: do you just feel a little meta-? >> the platform media will be even more immersive antibody and internet where you're in the experience, not just looking at it. we call this the meta-verse. you can do almost anything you can imagine. >> reporter: do you want to be in the meta-verse? mark zuckerberg is rebranding the company, change the stock symbol to m brs, rebranding the wake of whistleblower's testimony that facebook knew it was harming kids. todd: quite a move by the new york pension fund. >> reporter: powerful pension fund pulling its intestines in ben and jerry's, the retirement fund says ben and jerry's decision to stop selling

he cancelled keystone but green lights the nord stream 2. for coal, you're -- guess what? a coal powered car. congratulations. >> in the last month of the trump administration in january 2021, for the first time in any of our lifetimes, we were not importing any oil from saudi arabia. guess what we're doing now? we're not producing it here so we're importing it from opec. doesn't make any sense. >> i was 2 for 2 in your trivia just to clear that up. marc thiessen, steve moore. great to see you both. thanks, gentlemen. >> thanks, trace. >> trace: nancy pelosi faulting reporters for failing to sell president biden's massive social spending bill. >> i think you all could do a better job of selling it to be frank with you. every time i come here, i go through the list. family medical leave, the issues in there. but it's true. it's hard to break through when you have such a comprehensive package. >> trace: on deck to respond, congressman jim jordan next on "the story." people with moderate to severe psoriasis, are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create the

you killed the keystone xl pipeline, you're making the russian actor put in rich again.you band expiration on all federal lands, you artificially reduced america and the oil and gas supply. the united states once again you're begging opec for the lifeblood of our company. we are paying more for everything we buy, paying more to heat and cooler home. we were in the number one producer of oil and gas for the first time in 75 years. guess what, energy independent. donald trump at the end of the presidency was not importing one single barrel from saudi arabia. now, any more instead of begging texas, why don't we begged them? you can ask texas and you do not have to beg gary to oklahoma, alaska, north dakota, they will help you. biden's blaming opec and that's the cop out there and frankly it's an all out lie like most every thing else that comes out of your mouth. according to the former ceo of mcdonald's, joe biden's gas and oil policies are the core because of inflation and the current supply chain fiasco. the labor shortage is playing a huge role. joe biden is now bowing

to bring the prices down, encourage american energy producers, open the federal land and open the keystone pipeline and stop begging russia and saudi arabia to give us oil. makes us pay more for our energy costs and doesn't solve the problem. >> martha: molly, what is your take? >> just amazing to think back to the 2020 campaign when president biden was saying he wouldn't restrict energy supply. made it one of the first things that he did when he took office. now you have jen psaki not just what we just heard but did it the other day, admitting that they care more about their own personal beliefs on climate change than managing energy policy that makes sense after killing the keystone pipeline, they have gone to opec asking for more supply, have been shut down. this is -- again, this is -- these are the byproducts of policy decisions that this administration has made and are now reaping the consequences. it's not going particularly well for them. really not going well for the country. >> you know, andy, i want to ask you -- i want to go back to the initial topic for a moment. the child tax

the first day in office he shutdown the keystone pipeline.s, what is it really white, countries like saudi arabia to do it so they can close things down here and achieve their green goal and all the dirty stuff would be done overseas. we are more dependent on fossil fuel than they thought. it has a real effect on prices. as you sort of alluded to in your intro, this is something that ordinary people feel. they see it up the gas pump, they see it in the government announcement, half of american homes use natural gas, right, and they expect the cost to be about $750 this winter to heat their homes. that is a 30% increase. people see that and feel that in their everyday lives. you cannot just turn on a switch and increase supply, which that is a problem, there's a supply problem. paul: file, you looked this week at the member hundred measures the administration has taken since i got into office and moving through congress to stifle oil and gas production and distribution are they doing anything to ease up on those? >> first days in office, presi

the president also killed keystone x.l. pipeline and is actively discouraging needed private sector investment in new oil, gas, and goal production. yet, this administration allowed completion of russia's nord stream 2 pipeline, which of course moves gas from punitive's russia to -- into germany and europe. and instead of supporting our own domestic energy workforce, the biden administration is asking russia, saudi arabia, and the opec nations to pump more oil. why on earth are we asking foreign countries with less stringent environmental practices to produce more energy when our own domestic producers are ready and willing to answer the call? despite this administration's failed policy and corresponding higher energy costs, the president and democrats are doubling down on their green new deal agenda. the democrats' reckless tax-and-spend bill will only worsen today's high energy prices by making energy production more expensive and less reliable. the president's policies will not only increase the pain at the pump, they ar

>> consumer demands affordable energy and to the consumer it means lower prices and the keystone pipelined have gotten increased production out of canada and supply the consumer with more oil in an oil market that continues to grow, it is a number of years away but it is one of timing, if the people -- if you keep the keystone pipeline in service it would take a number of years to get oil production up. at the same time it takes a number of years for solar and wind to come online through various parts of the world. neil: baron's is talking about $5 a gallon gas. >> i am not because there is a big reaction from the consumer at $4 a gallon on the demand side. you are already seeing pressure on opec, with the pandemic. at a faster rate. neil: nice seeing you. the energy expert has been uncannily prescient. putting what the holiday season could be looking like in perspective. first we learn the likelihood that a lot of the gifts we wanted wouldn't be in time to put under the tree, then we heard there might be a devil of a time finding a tree and now the news is that this could go well beyond

the new administration they send a signal to the energy marketplace that we are going to do the keystone pipeline. we will be shutting down fossil fuel energy which america in 2019 be for the pandemic we were leading the world with the largest producer of oil and gas and had been the biggest energy producer as opposedpp to user since harry truman was president, more energy importswi and exports. weev were not even independent. you could argue we were energy dominant. in january 2021 we started shutting down this amazing american renaissance that chiefly led we are already seeing the effects of this in gas prices and other factors. we have a sitting u.s. president to begging the production and this is a shock because it was the largest producer of dominance prior to all of this and now we are begging that we have the russian oil imports retching record levels so we will t be turning over the enery dominance and the great new deal for the reliance which will be done by slave labor and human rights abuses so it is a lose lose proposition for americans. it fails a public-policy test and that

in the first week of his administration, president biden yanked the permit for the keystone x.l. pipeline and halted new oil and gas leases on federal lands and offshore. president biden's party also called for new taxes and fees on american energy production. in addition, the biden administration is promoting foreign energy production as he stifles energy production here at home. he's allowed completion of russia's nord stream 2 pipeline while calling on russia, saudi arabia and other opec nations to increase more oil production. think about that. at a time when he's holding back energy production in our country, oil production in our country, he's asking opec, saudi arabia and russia to increase oil. it defies common sense. think about it. if the biden administration continues down this path, it will not only cause further increased prices for consumers, but it will undermine our energy independence and harm our national security by forcing reliance on foreign energy production. it's time we recognize the fact that our country's vast oil, gas, and coal resources are a strategic

the president canceled the keystone xl oil pipeline.ew your times story reports, other pipelines are allowed to proceed. it's a decidedly mixed picture on fossil food production, energy, and on transport. it produces more admissions than any other sector. transport emissions are going up in the u.s. to make of the country's emissions. by 2030, president biden wants half of car sales to be like these. electric. right now it is not half. it is 2% of sales. something has to change. >> the big push now is the infrastructure that gives people comfort that as they move around this b country they will be le to charge their vehicles as easily as they can pull up to the gas pump. >> that is a big push. two giant pieces of legislation need to become law. if congress votes them through, the u.s. is more likely to hit its targets. the republicans are not keen. >> this administration and house democrats are working frantically to impose a witches brew of reckless energy policies across the entire nation, at a time when inflation is at its highest le

h.r. 684, green lights the keystone pipeline. you want to create thousands of jobs, private sector money, more energy independence for america, this bill would do just that and do it today and the pipelines were a problem -- i know president biden doesn't want american pipelines but greenlighted the russian pipelines. why don't we bring up h.r. 684. h.r. 859 would have more production in america that president biden shut down. there was production on going all across america. really good safe, environmentally sound production. our standards are the best in the world. go find a country that producees energy that does it better than america. and president biden through executive action shut production down. these bills would open that back up. these bills would lower gas prices, but president biden isn't interested in that because in his own budget he olympics the corps of engineers from doing infrastructure projects that would lower energy production. president biden. you would have thought opec or russia would have come up with t

he cancels the keystone xl pipeline.nd advocates, this makes no sense whatsoever. he is wasting our energy independence that we work so hard to achieve. maria: he actually asked opec to pump out more so we have to be reliant on foreign countries to pump out more. look i've got to get your take on where we are on the spending package. i know they want to push through another 5 trillion-dollar plan they're trying to get down. you think they are going to be able to get something done, one or $2 trillion? what is that going to look like we've got jobs numbers out this weekend, fridays numbers were worse than expected be a lot of people saying there's too much money being thrown at this economy. >> there's no question about it but thank you for making that point, maria. whether it's 5 trillion or 1 trillion that is still a lot of money. do not be mistaken at all. what happens here is how did they come up with $5 trillion? the congressional budget off it scores it. this program is going to cost this much. how do they get it fr

i think for joe biden his initial moves right off, right out of the gate was to shut down the keystoneeline and then moving towards more of these regulations in the name of climate change. and, you know, his focus -- and, obviously, the the focus of his administration -- is that of the non-fossil fuel alternatives which, of course, as they mentioned, wind farms on our coast, in the gulf of mexico and on the u.s. coast which now we have the fishing industry saying, hey, i don't think this is ad good idea. this could really impact fish migration, and what does this mean for the bird migration as well. so there's other elements that need to be considered. so, look, i think for joe biden the problem has become that when you have a lot of these idealogues or that are really advising the president of what to do in terms of responding to climate change, in essence, you've got to balance that out with what can, what our economy can handle. gerry: mercedes, you come from a tradition of centrist democrats. joe biden does seem to have embraced this radical, progressive agenda. isn't that part of

a number of executive orders aimed at moving america away from fossil fuels. construction of the keystone pipeline was halted and oil and natural gas leases on federal lands stopped filling the gap though plans for massive wind farm construction projects. the white house has also reportedly reached out to american oil and gas companies, asking them to help lower fuel prices that just buy it back in june oil drilling leases, previously approved by donald trump in one of alaska national reserves being suspended by team biden. and the president commented on that last week. flask is pretty big, is an awful lot we need to protect. but that's why i'm working to protect bristol bay for money, not perish. now were threatened one of the world larger salmon. that's where i'm refusing to sell off the arctic national wildlife reserve for oil and gas. we spoke with economist peter earl, who believes biden's energy policy is driven mostly by ideology and shows little regard for the well being of ordinary people. when power is variable upon locations inefficient and solar power power are, excuse me, is,
