Sen. Rand Paul blasted President Biden over his controversial trip to Saudi Arabia — accusing the commander in chief of “begging and bowing down” to the royals to increase the supply of oil.
“Rather than traveling to Saudi Arabia, [Biden] should be traveling to Texas or North Dakota, and he should be … asking our country to ramp up [oil] supply instead of begging and bowing down to the Saudis and asking them to bump up their supply,” the Kentucky Republican told host John Catsimatidis on his WABC 770 AM radio show in an interview that aired Sunday.
“It’s not only bad economics, but it’s embarrassing for him to be over there … begging them for more oil. I couldn’t be more opposed to what he’s doing,” Paul said.
In the economic interplay between supply and demand, Paul accused the Biden administration of taking actions to deliberately reduce the supply of oil, causing prices to skyrocket this summer to more than $5 a gallon on average in June.
”Everything the Biden administration has done has been to reduce the supply. They’ve banished pipelines. They’ve banished drilling permits. They’ve banished drilling leases. They’ve stopped the expansion of drilling into ANWR, which is a portion of Alaska, which has enough oil to make us completely energy independent, probably for 100 years,” Paul said, referring to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Jao needs to kick NYState’s butt to start drilling.
And here we thought he only kow-towed to his Chinese masters.
it didnt work.
And putin is probably telling biden he wants the Death Merchant and a few other people in exchange for Griner or he can go pound sand.
Is there a big teleprompter for all to read?
Is the Potato just sitting there nodding his head as his translator speaks?
Rand needs to kick Jao’s butt everyday for implementing the
Green New Deal Liberal World Order in the USA.
Biden is batting at minus zero!
No innings in sight......
Pull the plug already on this faux prez!
Crickets from every other Republican. Where’re Turtle and Frank Luntz’s boyfriend?
Anybody remember “Drill baby drill”?
I have yet to hear it invoked.
From anyone.
Meme I came across: Air Force One is traveling 7,000 miles to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil.
I’m thinking Air Force one would leave a smaller carbon footprint if traveling to Texas and Oklahoma and beg Americans for oil.
Agree. Biden is the dumbest SOB ever to be President.
You said it better than me and to the point!
I just keep thinking,
It did not have to be this way.
If the country would have stayed on the Trump plan a lot of the inflation would be less harsh, less hyper.
The world in general might have been a better place.
No, none of what is happening needed to be this way.
Agree. Biden is the dumbest SOB ever to be PresidentBiden is only interested in hurting, reversing or destroying anything Trump has accomplished...PERIOD!
BTW, all of you pin head Trump naysayers.
Trump accomplished more than any President in your lifetime.
I am blasting Rand Paul for refusing to step up at FreedomFest2022 in defense of Julian Assange.
His booth was 2 down from the Free Assange booth, but hawking his book was more important than standing against the ongoing torture, and looming extradition of Assange for the crime of Truth Telling.
When asked for two minutes of his time to discuss Assange he
said “I don’t like being forced to do things”.
