John Kennedy (R-LA) slammed President Joe Biden\u2019s left-wing climate agenda during an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, saying that Biden\u2019s plan will harm the country and families.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, who made the remarks during an interview with Fox News host Trey Gowdy, also said that Biden was caving to the far-left wing of the Democratic Party when it came to issues related to immigration and predicted that it would backfire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, let me say a word about President Biden\u2019s executive orders on oil and gas,\u201d Kennedy later added. \u201cThey are in measurably foolish, they\u2019re going to gut Louisiana like a fish. One third of my state\u2019s GDP is related to oil and gas. And our state is not alone. His war on oil and gas is going to hurt America. It\u2019s going to destroy our energy independence. Here\u2019s President Biden\u2019s New Energy Policy. We\u2019re not going to produce our own oil. Instead, we\u2019re going to buy oil from countries that hate us. So they\u2019ll have more money to buy weapons to try to kill us. It\u2019s in measurably foolish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost Americans support an all of the above energy policy, oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal, hydrogen,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut they also understand that we can\u2019t run the greatest economy in all of human history without oil and gas, not now and not probably for a long time. I don\u2019t know about you, Trey, but my car doesn\u2019t run off fairy dust. My car doesn\u2019t run off unicorn urine. And and I think once again, President Biden has given in to the left wing crazies who who say none of us except them care about the planet. That\u2019s not true. And who, when they break a shoelace, they blame it on climate change. You know, they\u2019ve taken a specific discrete scientific problem. Is our climate changing? How\u2019s it changing? What do we do about it? And they turned it into a religion. And President Biden appears to be sucking it up like a Hoover Deluxe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy later noted the difficulties that Americans will face who work in the oil and gas industry, saying, that Biden administration officials were \u201cliving in la la land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, you\u2019re gonna tell a 50 year old woman who\u2019s been working for an oil and gas company who\u2019s developed extraordinary expertise, who has kids in school, who\u2019s got a mortgage to pay, just to quit your job, because we\u2019re gonna fire you anyway, and go back to school and then you can go work in a green job, but we haven\u2019t told you which one yet?\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cI mean, you know, put down the ball.

We\u2019ve been grappling with it for 35 years. You\u2019re a smart man. What\u2019s the answer?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>JOHN KENNEDY, SENATOR FROM LOUISIANA (R): Trey, I don\u2019t understand why the issues is perceived to be so complicated. To me, it\u2019s pretty simple. Americans overwhelmingly support legal immigration. That\u2019s why our country invites over a million of our world\u2019s neighbors every year to become American citizens. That\u2019s more than any other country on the planet. I\u2019m flattered that people want to come to America. Other than North Korea, and North Koreans When\u2019s the last time you heard of somebody trying to sneak into China? They want to come here. But unless you have the IQ of a swath, you know the difference between legal and illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is illegal. Duh. Vetting people at the border as every country does, is not racist. It\u2019s prudent. It\u2019s how we enforce our immigration laws. I looked at President Biden\u2019s executive orders. I support his efforts to try to reunite kids with their parents. I mean, who wouldn\u2019t? But the rest of his executive orders don\u2019t seem to make a distinction between the legal and illegal immigration. His executive orders are designed to roll back the efforts of the Trump administration, which did more four years to stop illegal, not legal, but illegal immigration than any other president in my lifetime. And I think, I hate to say this, but I think President Biden has decided to adhere to the to the to the edicts of Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez who worships at the altar of open borders. And I think it\u2019s a big mistake and I don\u2019t think the American people will support it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>GOWDY: Senator, you represent a state that is a tremendous energy producer, and you have neighbor states that are also. What do you make of the climate change agenda of this new administration? And what impact is it going to have on workers in your state and throughout the country?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KENNEDY: Well, let me say a word about President Biden\u2019s executive orders on oil and gas. They are in measurably foolish, they\u2019re going to gut Louisiana like a fish. One third of my state\u2019s GDP is related to oil and gas. And our state is not alone.

What do we do about it? And they turned it into a religion. And President Biden appears to be sucking it up like a Hoover Deluxe.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>GOWDY: Yeah, and former Senator Kennedy, former Senator Kerry rather said that they should go by they should go build solar panels, which I\u2019m all for people building solar panels, but I don\u2019t think that helps the state of Louisiana or Texas right now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KENNEDY: Well, no disrespect to Secretary Kerry, but he\u2019s living in la la Land you need. I mean, you\u2019re gonna tell a 50 year old woman who\u2019s been working for an oil and gas company who\u2019s developed extraordinary expertise, who has kids in school, who\u2019s got a mortgage to pay, just to quit your job, because we\u2019re gonna fire you anyway, and go back to school and then you can go work in a green job, but we haven\u2019t told you which one yet.
