  1. i wonder,, when is biden going to start blaming hydro power for some kind of pollution?

  2. biden blames everyone but himself for his own failures

  3. What an idiot we have for a president , no one thinks with democrats in charge democrats under stand this economy.
    The ship 🚢 has hit an iceberg.

  4. Give the president a break. Hes just reading the script

  5. The oil industry, petro chemicals produces 100s of bi-products that are used to manufacture almost everything that we buy in our markets. Things all Americans depend on daily. If Biden doesn't know that, he shouldn't be in White House.

  6. Biden is such a moron to make these statements. Defamatory comments aside, when you tax a large corporation who do you think pays that tax, the consumer…

  7. Biden @ his circus are demoralized. Send them on a slow boat to China.

  8. Please vote RED on Tuesday, get rid of these USA haters in the WH and Congress

  9. biden treated other nations like children and now they have united!….so dumb. india, china, russia saudi arabia etc….only biden can unite all these nations against us.

  10. drill baby drill return of the KING 2024

  11. Their responsibility is to their shareholders.
    Joes job is to protect America and he has failed horribly

  12. Biden is making it more clear he's a wannabe communist dictator.

  13. TRUMP 2024…That's something worth looking forward to. The Stock Market fixer = Donald Trump. See you soon buddy xxx

  14. Biden and the Democrats are disgusting.

  15. After November 8th, Congress and the Senate needs to bring back the Oil Industry. Biden is mad…completely insane and so corrupt and compormised…he was installed by our enemies within and without.

  16. Unbelievable some of Biden's Family members are believed to have taken millions from suspicious companies in other countries involving fuel
    America is suffering over energy related issues at his hand. I don't get the nerve of him ever calling out others Honor, Morals,
    Love of Life

  17. Regarding the looming diesel shortage. Jet fuel is basically high grade kerosene, which is only like a step up from diesel fuel. Is there any plants to squelch unnecessary air travel until this crisis has passed?

  18. Look at these Two Female "'FANATICS"'…!!! Standing behind this "'C L O W N"'…!!! FROWNING LIKE THEIR "'DROWNING"' IN "'69, 79, 99"' DOWNING D.C. STREET…!!! WHO THE HECK DOES THIS "'12X TIMES – PINNOCHIO"'…!!! STRING ON THE "'PUPPET"' THINKS HE IS DAGNAMMMIT…!!! GOODNIGHT, TURNOUT THE LIGHTS…!!!

  19. As great as they are the big oil companies are in fact a part of this massive screwing being put on the American people . A bill was passed into law right before the end of Obama's last term that has allowed the oil/energy industry to shut down domestic oil market price indexing . All petroleum products are now sold exclusively on the only market now left the global market . What this means is they can now sell oil produced here in the United States to the highest bidder on the global market instead of having to sell it here in our country at a lower price . This is going to eventually push our prices up as high as Europe pays which means we are looking at paying 25 dollars or more a gallon for gasoline and diesel prices will be even higher than that . And guess what not a single politician is calling to repeal this law . No doubt because of our pathetically corrupt lobying laws which allow big oil to purchase as many of our politicians as they please

  20. American oil companies are owned and run mostly by American citizens. When you make an investment In the Oil production industry you need the return of your money. You can’t always afford to contribute your income to the greater good.
    Bless his heart, President Trump took none of his presidential wages and I wonder how much of his Biden is returning for the common good.

  21. Joe does realize this was tried with Standard oil. There was this really big pipeline that ran to Washington DC. John shut it off. It was winter, and congress is very stubborn. It took a month of congress and their neighbors freezing to make them see the light. It will take this and the stopping of pharmaceuticals that these members of congress need to make them listen. Joe and his party are committing treason, and it needs to stop. They are attacking all US businesses and giving allowances to enemies like the CCP. These people have been bought with CCP monies along with their green energy lie. China will make trillions off of green energy when it takes much more to produce, and is more toxic.

  22. Laughing Stock of the World! America

  23. FFFFFFFFFF JJJJJJJJJJ BBBBBBBBBB

  24. 3 to 5 times profit. Open your eyes

  25. Why isn’t the rest of the media calling out Biden and his administration? Flat out denies issues. Lies about others.
    Thanks for keeping the pressure on them Mr Kudlow.

  26. I don't know why people just don't start up their jobs again say screw this a**** let's go back to work cuz it's going to go down anyway as soon as he's gone

  27. I say don't make anymore oil production….. let Biden get everything he deserves.

  28. Why don't you shut the hell up..oil is very important to this country..more taxes will not help..Biden is a gaffe machine..he lies all the time..

  29. Talk, talk, talk. Who is doing anything about this Energy issue? The dems don’t care. Climate whackos don’t care. How hard can this be to resolve. Impeach the Bozo and solve the issue now!!! For once in your miserable existence dems, do the right thing and fix the problem. How does anyone justify what’s happening?

    Windfall tax. War profiteering. Pure psychological BS. Pass the buck, deflect the attention away from the culprit responsible and then of course, backstabbing to make it look good. Maybe this was part of the twisted plan all along. create a situation to collect money.

    Responsibility of failure is….

    The Bozo in office of course. Wake up!! The whackos need to be shut down for a few years. The national debt is ballooning because of special groups. Get the debt paid down and then we can talk about whacko ideology. People are on the verge of freezing this winter and starving because of MR. Bozo. Climate whackos don’t care either. I would bet people would trade the air quality for some food on the table? Fossil fuels are not the real problem as they so want you to believe. Alternative energy we hear? What alternative? They have not been able to develop any new alternatives that can replace or keep up with what is already here?

    Now think about this people. In the end this could end up being a Gem that will reward those who see an opportunity coming right at you. Let the whackos do their thing and cash in on their radical nonsense. Buy oil stocks. If they insist on this stupid radical agenda and they have any success, oil will become a very valuable much needed commodity. This will drive up prices on this commodity due to simple supply and demand issues. Oil will skyrocket in price and the stocks will follow suit. This sets up many people to succeed and get the last laugh. Money talks and BS. Walks.

  30. What a lunatic! This clown clearly has zero knowledge of the oil industry, he needs to stop lying to Americans about this! Liar

  31. What Works What makes Money 💰 / vs. / COMMUNISM

  32. Joe Question ❓/ What was the Business you ran besides Tacos.

  33. In other words FJB is going to raise taxes on oil… Until they run everything they will not stop…

  34. Go on why doesn't Pres Biden talk more about Burisma where his son Hunter once was a board member in Ukraine for their profiteering? Anything else to defend and argue?

  35. What makes the Joe think they won't just raise their prices to cover that tax?

  36. Joe Biden is a f**** idiot

  37. What I want to know is who’s really in charge? It’s obvious Biden hasn’t a clue what is going on……

  38. Biden needs to take a row boat or skateboard (can't ride a bicycle) for any type of travel.

  39. How does Joey come up with this crap? It's no wonder that we are suffering with food shortages and $7 a gallon gasoline while it was less than $2 during the Trump administration.

  40. U guys gotta make Democrats voters understand the transition to renewables is going to take time and can't happen overnight

  41. Biden is not only desperate for votes but stupid too

  42. Biden standing there with Yellen and the Sec of Energy look like 3 people in a Nursing home. In many ways, America should be in a nursing home by now. Thanks to Biden

  43. biden is right! They should get their profits from China like biden and his crackhead son does.

  44. Mr Sonmers is absolutely right.
