On the recordSeptember 29, 2022
We are talking about the drop-off of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. If you can see this here on C-SPAN, this top level is 750 million barrels. And you can see up here in 2020, there is this sharp drop-off? That drops down to 350 million barrels. That is the defense being exercised by a President trying to save his party. That is not being used specifically for the national security interest of the United States. That is absolutely horrific. Dumping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, dumping it in order to drive gas prices down. You know what? Those chickens are going to come home to roost.
