  1. Thank you! who did this, hugs from all Americans

  2. That’s how you do it when you can afford it give back.

  3. Have this angel come to L. A.

  4. There are many professional NBA, MLB, NFL, millionaires who could do the same as fans have done for them in getting them to where they are professionally. But, sadly, they be in it for themselves.

  5. I bet he does worse giving away money doesn’t make it better

  6. Great story! Wish we have more millionaires n billionaires come out to help out even more working Americans!

  7. If the millionaire is reading this thank you, I would do the same if in that position.

  8. It is very nice of Dr Wilson to do this. I would vote for this kind of person, as he has a desire to help

  9. That makes my heart feel like it's filled with warmth & love!

  10. Rich n poor loves free gas. As long someone else paying for it. Why have car can’t afford gas. Stupid.

  11. More than bidden did with his China and Ukraine money

  12. Another Hero besides Ellen Hopkins. Just think if we had People like to Much Money Bill,Mark,Warren,Jeff and say a Thousand others Gave a million dollars if my math is right that comes out to 250 million gallons or 20 (19) gallons of gas is made per Barrel of oil it would be 12,500,000.Gallons of gas or about one days worth !

  13. i think calif will give 400 dlrs

  14. This is actually pretty sad that a first world country 's citizen needs to get in line for hours for 50 bucks or so on average. Sad.

  15. Now tell Joe Biden to reverse his executive orders from day one that put thousands of American energy workers out of work. Enough of this full stop on fossil fuels without the infrastructure in place for electric or wind. Those 9k permits that Joe talks about are BS. Their are so much Red tape associated with them it's amazing. Financial institutions have been warned by this administration not to support oil and natural gas and coal. Exploration in this country. Most electricity in this country is generated by either coal or natural gas. You think prices are high at the pump and the grocery stores just wait a bit. If we purchase our energy from our enemies we are at their mercy. Americans helped pay for Russia's war in Ukraine now Iran that just fired ballistic missiles near our consulate in Iraq. Is going to sell us oil. And Venezuela who are Marxists and responsible for the deaths of thousands of their own people. It's we are on the March to being Marxists ourselves under this administration. Ask questions people. it's time for Americans to be working again and American energy.

  16. Those who Bless..Will be Blessed 🙌🏽❤

  17. Wow.
    When you see the rich help the poor, it's a beautiful thing. 😍

  18. hopefully, this giveaway is used by people who really deserve it. And not some free loaders who can afford to pay and rich college students etc.. There needs to be a better way of distributing this freebie instead of mile long lines of people waring in line in their cars.

  19. We already can't afford food from paying all these bills thanks that there doing something I hope Texas does this I'm pretty sure I won't get the help but maybe someone else will

  20. I wouldnt complain at 450 a gallon…we pay 680 for a gallon here …yay Canada…

  21. Lol. Gas in Moscow today costs $1.92 dollars for a gallon. Our solution to the crisis is communism. Who is really winning?? 🤔

  22. Heros step up in the most unlikely of places.💞

  23. Wow there are angels on earth 😍

  24. Too bad the president can't have common sense like that man and see all ppl in United States are struggling.
