Tommy Tuberville. In the latest installment in the Alabama Republican&#8217;s &#8220;Coach on the Street&#8221; series, the former Auburn football coach hit the pavement to ask &#8220;real Americans&#8221; how they&#8217;ve been &#8220;affected by these out-of-control prices at the pump&#8221; under Biden. The answers do not bode well for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A loaf of bread, eggs, milk. It&#8217;s all going up,&#8221; one man said. &#8220;Not a fan, ever,&#8221; another said of skyrocketing gas prices. &#8220;I&#8217;m a school teacher, I need every penny I can.&#8221; A third respondent called the increased cost at the pump under Biden &#8220;killer,&#8221; while a fourth said he &#8220;can&#8217;t believe&#8221; the level of energy inflation during the Democrat&#8217;s first two years in office.<\/p>\n<p>But Tuberville&#8217;s interviewees weren&#8217;t just united in their disdain for record-high gas prices. They also agreed that Biden needs to move to &#8220;unleash American energy&#8221; and achieve independence from the &#8220;convicts and criminals&#8221; from whom the United States imports oil.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The message is clear,&#8221; Tuberville said. &#8220;We need to pump our own oil. American energy. And one person can handle that, and he lives down on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Under former president Donald Trump, the United States in 2020 became a net annual petroleum exporter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/energyexplained\/oil-and-petroleum-products\/imports-and-exports.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for the first time in more than 70 years<\/a>, producing roughly 18 million barrels of oil per day. Under Biden, however, America is again <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=51338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">becoming a net oil importer<\/a>, a shift that comes after congressional Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/how-dems-helped-spike-gas-prices\/\">pressured oil executives <\/a>to decrease their outputs because of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and his allies in Congress, however, have dismissed the notion that their policies led to sky-high prices at the pump, instead blaming both oil and gas companies and Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine. Last week, Biden pinned the high price of gas on oil companies for working to &#8220;pad their pockets at the expense of hardworking Americans,&#8221; a claim that energy experts <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/experts-biden-gaslights-on-gas-claims%e2%80%a8\/\">quickly derided<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The cry for energy independence seen in Tuberville&#8217;s video is matched nationally. According to a March <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/most-voters-want-biden-to-increase-us-energy-production\/\">Trafalgar Group poll,<\/a> nearly 80 percent of likely voters want Biden to increase U.S. energy production.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to soaring gas prices, consumer costs have skyrocketed in general under Biden\u2014in February, inflation <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/inflation-hits-new-40-year-high-under-biden\/\">hit a new 40-year high<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even on the streets of Washington, D.C., American voters are fed up over &#8220;killer&#8221; gas prices and want President Joe Biden to do more to achieve energy independence.
