And so then he comes in, he puts really negative policies to try to kneecap American energy production. And of course, that\u2019s been a huge driver as to why we now have gas higher than we have ever seen it before, in my lifetime in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so he has facilitated this. And I think that\u2019s had a huge impact on overall inflation, because everything that\u2019s produced relies on energy. And when those energy costs go up, it has an effect across the board. Obviously, when you\u2019re printing trillions of dollars, the money supply, that has caused it to go up as well,\u201d he continued.\u00a0\u201cSo, I think there have been a series of policy misjudgments. What I would do is I would say if \u2014 and he will not do this, but he should admit he was wrong. And he said, you know what, we need to be energy independent. We need to lead the world in production. We need to get rid of all the roadblocks. We need to make sure people can get permits, want to make sure we can do LNG exports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis said multiple local pipelines needed to be built ranging from the Keystone pipeline to ones in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you have it within your control to really, really move the needle. And here\u2019s the thing, this energy, the markets are very forward looking. If he were to come in, and just really, really double down on American energy and have policy to reflect that, look, it would represent a complete 180, he would have to admit he was wrong,\u201d DeSantis said.\u00a0\u201cBut you know what, that would be good for the American people. And so, we\u2019ve got to start putting the people first over the ideology of the ruling class and the governing elites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so these have been really, really, I think, devastating decisions. I think it did not have to happen. You know, he inherited a situation that was much better, he\u2019s made it a lot worse. But you look, he\u2019s now complaining about the refining capacity. You can\u2019t get a refinery permitted if you want to expand capacity,\u201d he continued.\u00a0\u201cAnd when you say you\u2019re going to shut down the industry, who\u2019s going to put capital down to want to expand there when you know the federal government is going to try to kneecap you, you know, right out of the starting block? So, he needs to reverse course here; I don\u2019t think he will. But at the end of the day, the American people are paying the price when you\u2019re looking at these gas prices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis explained that the record high gas prices have contributed to the worst inflation that the U.S. has seen in decades because gas is used to deliver products to stores, which then forces companies to increase costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s always trying to create a scapegoat. I guess his position is that it wasn\u2019t until he became president that oil companies are trying to make profits. Like, they\u2019re gouging now, they weren\u2019t doing that for the last 25 years, all of a sudden, just now they\u2019re doing that,\u201d DeSantis said.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s insulting to the average citizen to listen to some of this drivel coming out of the White House and because they know people are upset about it. They know they\u2019re responsible for it. So they\u2019re just looking for a boogeyman to try to pin this on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) slammed President Joe Biden during remarks Thursday morning for soaring inflation rates and surging gas prices, saying that Biden \u201chas facilitated this\u201d and that the administration knows they are responsible for it.
