Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) released a new episode in his \u201cCoach on the Street\u201d series on Friday in which he walks around the Washington, D.C. area and asks citizens what they think about current events that are impacting their lives.<\/p>\n<p>In the new episode, Tuberville asked what people thought about skyrocketing gas prices and what their thoughts were on whether America should be energy independent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p><em>SEN. TOMMY TUBERVILLE (R-AL): Hello, Coach Tommy Tuberville here. You know, we\u2019re seeing record high gas prices at the pump and they\u2019re affecting everyone, from families to businesses. One thing is for sure, Americans need relief and they need it now. We need to stop buying oil from convicts and criminals, and unleash American Energy. So, I\u2019m going to hit the streets to see how real Americans are affected by these out of control prices at the pump, and if they think President Biden needs to do more to make the United States of America energy independent. So, let\u2019s go.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Well, here we go, $5.19 a gallon. Joe Biden, you\u2019ve got to be proud.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN: Diesel, I saw some trucks. They\u2019re filling up the tank. It\u2019s like a thousand, eleven hundred dollars.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: We could be producing 100 percent here in this country alone and we wouldn\u2019t have to lean on anybody else. This time last year at this same pump, I was paying around $3 a gallon. Now, it\u2019s $5.19. I just filled up and it was almost double this time last year.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN 2: Yeah it\u2019s crazy. I was just thinking about all of it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: Two years ago when I moved here, it was $3 a gallon. Now. It\u2019s $5.19.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN 2: That\u2019s crazy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: Do you want to pay $5.19 or do you want to pay $3?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN 2: $3.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: Thank you very much.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN 2: Yeah, of course.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: You know, the problem with our gas prices is everything else is going up, you know, transportation, other supplies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN 3: Or a loaf of bread, eggs, milk. It\u2019s all going up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: Yeah. At the end of the day, don\u2019t y\u2019all think we should be energy independent? That we should dig our own oil? You agree with me, right?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN: 100%.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN: Yeah.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: Yeah, I can\u2019t believe I am paying $2 more a gallon than I was this time last year.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN: Yeah. I can\u2019t believe it either but, you know, maybe some things will change, guys like you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: Yeah, what do y\u2019all think about these high gas prices?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN: They could be better.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: What do you think about high gas prices?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN: They are a killer, yes<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: Think we ought to be energy independent?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN: Oh totally.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: Thank you. What do you think about these high energy prices, high gas prices?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CITIZEN: Not a fan ever. I\u2019m a school teacher. I need, I need every penny I can.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>TUBERVILLE: So the message is clear: We need to pump our own oil, American Energy, and one person can handle it and he lives down on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
