Glenn Beck interviews congressman Steve King
GLENN: “So let me just, I just — first let me start here. I compiled a list just a few minutes ago. See if I’m missing anything.
- So far congress has said no drilling in the ANWR,
- no drilling off the coast of Florida and California,
- we’re not getting any new 100-year leases to drill in the Gulf while China and Venezuela and Cuba are going in.
- Congress, as well as all three presidential candidates, said there’s a cap and trade legislation that will increase the price of gas according to the EPA by $1.50 a gallon.
- We’re shutting down oil fields in Colorado,
- we won’t develop shale oil fields in western states.
- Yesterday — love this — we pass legislation that let us sue OPEC. I’m sure they’re not going to retaliate.
- We have allowed environmental attorneys to sue the oil companies for possible future destruction of an Alaskan Eskimo village.
- We also have protected the polar bear and its habitat right where the oil deposits are located.
- We’re talking about seizing windfall profits, won’t allow anybody to drill in some small areas — no, I’m sorry. We have allowed them to drill in small areas in Alaska while creating very generous environmental laws that have tied up the very production because the oil companies are in court.
- We’ve also not allowed anybody to build a new refinery for 30 years.
- In fact, we’ve cut our operational refineries in half since 1982.
- We won’t develop coal-to-oil, and also
- we’re telling the oil companies which blends they have to make.
What — these evil oil companies, why is the price of gas so high?”
Still glad to have Dems in power at the House & Senate level??
