  1. Paying higher gas prices is not the emergency for which to use the SPRs

  2. It still amazes me how much bull sh*t people who work in government can spin a topic and actually believe it's citizens can't see thru it. True in all nations.

  3. I love how the propaganda prop's this daughtering old senile racist up as the greatest things in slice bread.

  4. What will happen if they start replenishing that?

  5. They should be called the Strategic Election Victory Reserves .This should only be used in emergencies and preventing your party from a well deserved beat down in November is not an emergency

  6. Impeachable offense, on top of several others. An evil man is our president.

  7. God help us if we go to war as this clown depletes our oil supply ! Do we have electric aircraft carriers somewhere ?!

  8. HE is using OUR reserves to buy votes…..it is criminal and he should be held accountable…..It absolutely is not what it is for…….

  9. Millions of idiots will still vote for him or some other libtard. Those idiots are worse than the trash they keep voting into office.

  10. No serious strategy, just more SPR releases. Instead of admitting mistakes, they double down. What will they do when the reserve runs dry?

  11. Trump bought oil when it was cheap to fill our reserves. We have plenty of money in our checking account (oil in the ground), but Biden is spending out of our savings account (oil reserves). What kind of idiots are pulling his strings?

  12. This was a stupid “solution” in the first place. It just puts our defense in jeopardy. I agree w senator sanders. If opec wants to side w Russia and damage the usa, then let Russia defend them instead of our tax dollars!! Bring our troops home!

  13. WE LOVE YOU JOEY BIDEN!!!
    Higher prices and taxes please Joey!
    I want to vote for you again so my kids starve to death!!!
    WE LOVE YOU JOEY BIDEN!

  14. "Biden taps into strategic oil reserves after a problem that he created to weaken American when the WW3 he caused begins."

  15. This guy is making excuses for Biden’s failures. All of you 81 million who voted for Biden (alive, dead, or fake) are getting what deserve.

  16. Strategic reserves are supposed to be for emergencies not because the midterm elections are coming up.

  17. Just when you think Biden can’t get any dumber he goes and proves he can

  18. The people advising Biden just are not too bright. They intentionally took us from energy independence to the humiliation of begging hostiles to replace what we were producing domestically. Worse is the international chaos that has prevailed because he placed our security in jeopardy and encouraged bad people to commit atrocities around the world.

  19. You can continue to be the ugly monster your ideas came to be. If you become too ugly of a monster, we march upon rome again.

  20. Ummmmm how much strategic oil do we have

  21. The white house is trying to beautify the picture. It isn't working. Even leftists are fed up with the stemming weakness. Everything is being done from a position of weakness with this administration. What the heck is this? Are we a superpower or a banana republic.

  22. Brandon 2024! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

  23. self Inflicted …problem….

  24. I don’t understand. Biden gave all Venezuelans temporary protected status because their government was persecuting them. The price of gas is on the rise again so Biden is going to draw off our emergency strategic reserves which are lower now than they have been since 1984. Failing that he wants to ease sanctions on a country that treats its citizens so badly that we have to give them shelter. All in order to get more oil before the elections so the pump price might go down. What I don’t understand is how either course is good for America. More so when but for Biden’s anti-oil policy we could produce enough for our own needs.

  25. OPEC has sided with Russia and China, India is buying all the Russian oil Europe was getting and Biden runs our Stratigic Resurve to 1/2 a tank. In war oil is the 1st thing you go after to destroy your enemy.
    The US is in a very bad position

  26. He has reduced our reserves by half. He and the democrats in congress have stolen the wealth from every citizen of this country and given it all to his buddies in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and China. Their policies are destroying our economy and our entire Middle class. How dare you scumbags push your climate hoax upon us, you deserve a traitors death.

  27. Dummest thing the potato can do. Can we get the 25th amendment enacted now

  28. More damage to America's readiness if there's a war. Biden/Obama can get the oil straight from the ground, and not from the strategic oil reserves.

  29. Keep California out of it!! We have rigs drilling off our coast and we PAY more than everyone else? Texas, help our governor out…

  30. Let the oil industry speak up to this claim so the American people can judge if this is political or not.

  31. heaven forbid, if the US will be drawn to war in Asia or Europe & our military personnel does not have oil to use for our planes,tanks,ships.

  32. All the elites including Brandon will continue to encourage this proxy war because they are upset that Putin botched their money laundering operation in Ukraine. FJB

  33. This guy is flat out lying.

    Let’s say you make sweaters. How much would you invest in new production if the President constantly talked about putting you out of business? If he canceled transportation projects that moved your supplies and products after billions had been spent in them and virtually closed off your industry’s ability to use the vast and necessary public lands to produce wool?

    If you were not an idiot, you’d be converting your business to make the things the President wanted you to make, and being very careful about investing capital that might take years to pay off. You’d take the high profits from the sweater shortage, and reinvest in anything except expanding sweater production.

    Seriously. Put yourself in other people’s shoes. The oil companies are just people who work hard to get you the energy you want to use. Most peoples’ arguments about oil companies shouldn’t even make sense to themselves. That includes the clown being interviewed.
