The panel discussed how Biden blamed Russia for surging gas prices, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/greg-gutfeld-lets-loose-on-jackass-biden-after-sotu-you-are-an-idiot-to-believe-he-supports-cops\">Gutfeld<\/a> said stopping 8% of imports from the country could \u201ceasily be absorbed\u201d if we were drilling more or even \u201chitting up Canada for some more.\u201d He also called out the president for \u201cframing\u201d the increase in costs at the pump as a \u201chardship that we must accept.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Biden] said defending freedom comes at a cost,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/greg-gutfeld-gets-emotional-talking-about-mother-in-law-in-ukraine-fox-news-colleagues\">Gutfeld<\/a> explained. \u201cAnd that is not true. That is not. It\u2019s the environmental clap trap that comes as a cost. This is not about freedom. There would be no cost if we didn\u2019t demonize drilling, if we didn\u2019t shut down pipelines, if we didn\u2019t demonize fossil fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it\u2019s not about defending Ukraine,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s about exposing the destructiveness of, I would say, the green ideology, which is part of a larger ideology of punishment, right? Rich countries can handle this, just pay more gas. It\u2019s the poor countries that are going to suffer and it\u2019s going to be poor people in the United States, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you have Twitter celebrities like George Takei and other losers who will say \u2018you know, you should pay more to support Ukraine,\u2019 but they\u2019re not truckers, they\u2019re not salesmen, they\u2019re not Uber drivers,\u201d Gutfeld continued. \u201cThis is the same detached mentality that we found with shutdowns, right? Everybody could handle a shutdown if they were in the media, because all we did we did our shows from our living rooms. And same people that tell us to live with it can live with anything. So, that\u2019s either climate change, COVID, inflation. And once you see that you can\u2019t unsee it. There\u2019s an ideology of punishment, and it\u2019s that you can handle the punishment, they\u2019re above it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox News host Jesse Watters noted how media on Tuesday weren\u2019t \u201cclamoring for Biden to pass out more permits and leases\u201d to fix the costs at the pump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were telling Americans \u2018you just got to drive slower,&#8217;\u201d Watters shared. \u201c\u2018You know, don\u2019t accelerate too fast. That\u2019s how you save.
