Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Wednesday night that Joe Biden should be impeached, and possibly indicted due to his “crazy and dangerous” energy policies.
The Biden administration has been selling U.S. emergency oil reserves to other countries—including our greatest adversary, China—while Americans struggle financially due to high gas prices.
The regime sent more than 5 million barrels of oil from the U.S. emergency reserves to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, Reuters reported, “even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs.”
Biden on March 31 authorized the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) for the next six months, totaling 180 million barrels..
According to U.S. Customs data, 470,000 barrels of sour crude were shipped from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy. “Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe,” Reuters reported.
Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance (RELI.NS) refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said. At least one cargo of crude from the West Hackberry SPR site in Louisiana was set to be exported in July, a shipping source added.
The releases are draining the SPR, which last month fell to the lowest since 1986, Reuters reported, yet gas prices have remained high.
“Crude and fuel prices would likely be higher if (the SPR releases) hadn’t happened, but at the same time, it isn’t really having the effect that was assumed,” oil analyst Matt Smith told Reuters.
The regime’s decision to export the nation’s precious oil reserves to other countries appears to have blunted any positive impacts of the SPR releases.
As gas prices continued to soar over the 4th of July weekend, Biden ludicrously called on gas station owners to lower their prices.
My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.
Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.

On Fox News Wednesday evening, Tucker Carlson said the Biden regime’s decision to release the reserves is “so crazy, and so dangerous, that only someone who was trying to intentionally harm the United States would even consider it.”
Carlson pointed out that it shouldn’t have been necessary to drain our emergency oil reserves since the United States is rich in natural resources.
“We can produce the energy here, and in fact, were producing the energy here until Joe Biden took office,” Carlson noted, adding that—while irresponsible—the massive SPR releases should have reduced gas prices in the short term.
Amazingly, he noted, that didn’t happen.
“They haven’t dropped. They’ve kept going up,” he said.
“It turns out, the oil being released isn’t for us. It’s going to India and China! As gas prices hit record highs in the United States and many American citizens can’t afford to fuel their own cars, the Biden administration is selling off our emergency oil reserves to CHINA,” Carlson exclaimed. “That’s not an indictable offense? Certainly it’s an impeachable one. And they should impeach him for that.”
Carlson argued that the move is the equivalent of selling the Redwood Forest, or the water rights to the Great Lakes.
“If you’re keeping track. They didn’t even need it,” he continued. “China and India already have access to very cheap oil from Russia. Why? Thanks to the Biden administration’s lunatic ban on Russian oil imports for moral reasons.”
Russia has raked in 13 billion dollars in additional revenue from India and China compared to the same period last year. This is how we’re punishing out enemies? By selling off our own most valuable assets? And watching Russia, and India, and—my God—China get richer?
And on top of getting all that cheap Russian oil, China is getting petroleum from our emergency Petrol reserve.
The crude is the best we have and we’re giving it away to a government whose whole goal is to displace us on the world stage and crush us. The Chinese will be cruel masters when the run the world. They’re not like us, at all.
Carlson pointed out that China is “a longtime business partner of the Biden family,” and Congress should be investigating that. (video clip at link)
Former Director of National Intelligence and Congressman John Ratcliffe offered another explanation as to why the Communist Chinese would have so much influence over the Biden administration.
“Joe Biden’s top economic advisor is Brian Dietz who was a BlackRock executive,” Ratcliffe told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “Last week he named Tom Donilon his top foreign advisory on China, also a BlackRock executive.”
The former Texas congressman explained the significance of the connection.
“For folks that don’t know, BlackRock is a U.S. investment firm that has been more collaborative and cooperative and complicit with the Chinese Communist Party than any U.S. investment firm,” he said.
“To put it in simple terms: The Chinese Communist Party controls BlackRock and BlackRock makes policies in the Biden administration. The idea that these folks are going to be tough with China is really wishful thinking.”
It is really unfortunate that no elected Republican ever fights back
**************
Republicans don’t fight.
They just whine and make excuses.
That’s all the party ever does.
We blame them but we’re the ones who put them there and don’t hold them accountable. Just saying.
Exhaust the strategic petroleum reserve is his goal.
Then if we have a disruption to refining capacity, such as a hurricane, fuel rationing will occur.
So who orchestrated the steal? It sure wasn’t Joe Biden, it was a strategic and treasonous plan from the moment he “won” the primary. I believe our government from the top down has been infiltrated by the enemy China, there is no other reasonable explanation.
If there was a playbook on how to destroy and defeat the US, the events since DJT took office would be exactly as they are today. Including the pandemic, Biden’s mysterious campaign from his basement, the steal, and then all hell breaks loose.
The SPR isn’t supposed to be used to lower market prices. But if they use it that way and sell it into the market and there’s no space for it at US refineries, where is it going to go? Dump it in the ocean? The real scandal is, Biden is using strategic defense reserves for political gain. It also points out that we don’t have enough domestic refineries. But Carlson either doesn’t understand that, or thinks his audience won’t be able to understand. So, he makes it about the Boogie Man.
Yeah and hunter is behind bars on weapons charges for lying on his 4473........... Oh, he’s not?
Ha! Good luck, Tucker. Brandon’s not done pillaging and plundering America, yet! He’ll have our personal savings and 401Ks before he’s through. PLENTY left to steal!
And the ‘republicans’ will be all, *Crickets Chirping* about it. Count on it.
*SPIT*
“ So who orchestrated the steal? “
I don’t know….same characters who orchestrated this misuse of resources?
The Democrats could care less who gets it as long as it’s ALL GONE
Absolutely!
Almost as bad as if someone sold the rights to our Uranium supplies, through Canada, to Russia, eh?
p
Then we need a new party. Let the RINOs have their Republican party. We start our own and it may take a couple years but I believe it would take off and become a major party. You all know the “Republicans” in DC don’t care what we all think out here in true flyover country. They would rather we all just sit down, shut up and let them do their thing, which is line their pockets and live the high life on our tax dollars. That has basically been said over and over again by folks like Graham and McCarthy, and plenty of other Repubs. In the past, we haven’t been listening. We are now and I for one sure don’t like what they are saying.
biden administration paid china to take the oil ……..
Ping
It is almost as if they are trying to do away with out (free market) energy independence by giving it to the communists.
Biden will never face any legal charges or consequences for his actions. The minute he is out of office or the second he faces any sort of indictment, he will resign and a doctor will diagnose him with dementia and declare him legally incompetent to stand trial. If you think Hillary Clinton “can’t recall”, just wait for Biden...
He will never face Justice. Knowing that, he is a true danger to the fate of our country.
The reason Bidens will not be indicted is that there is no evidence to convict.
The evidence is all off shore and unavailable for submission in an American Court.
