96 [link removed]  Democrats' Extreme and Disastrous Energy
Policies Chairman Kyle Hupfer speaks with Fox59 about the 2022 primary
elections.
“We would work [fossil fuels] out. We would make sure it's
eliminated."

“I’ve argued against any more oil drilling or gas
drilling on federal lands...I would not allow any more."

“A
transition [from fossil fuels]…it’s going to have to happen.”

Those
were just a few of the times Joe Biden stated his extreme position of
crippling American energy production while on the campaign trail, a
position he's since acted on as president. On day one, he suspended the
approval of leases, drilling permits, and mining operations on federal
lands and canceled the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline (which
killed 11,000 American jobs). He also reinstated Obama-era regulations
and implemented new ones too that only discourage American energy
production. And just a few days ago, he canceled oil and gas lease sales
which removed millions of acres from possible drilling as gas prices
reach record highs.

But while taking these actions here at home, he's
been busy begging other countries like Iran, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia
to increase oil production. In an editorial on Monday, the Wall Street
Journal perfectly described these contradictory actions as a "triumph of
ideology over reason."

And yesterday, during a hearing on energy and
natural resources, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy asked Joe Biden's Secretary
of Interior Deb Haaland a very simple question:
[link removed] "Is it more
environmentally friendly to develop and produce oil and gas in the U.S.
or in foreign countries, like Venezuela?"

Her response? "I'm not an
economist or engineer."

As long as this administration is beholden to
the priorities of the far-left, Americans will continue to suffer,
paying record high gas prices in the process. And to paraphrase U.S.
Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, cars don't run off "pixie dust and
unicorn urine," they take gas, and that comes from oil.

 Sen. Young
Discusses Holding China Accountable, American Leadership
[link removed]   Last Tuesday, Sen.
Todd Young spoke on a panel hosted by the Foundation for Defense of
Democracies with former national security advisor to President Trump,
H.R. McMaster, on the threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party to
America’s economy and national security, and the ways in which
Washington should address them, including through Sen. Young's U.S.
Innovation and Competition Act.

You can watch the full discussion by
clicking above, and an excerpt is below.

"If you were to assess our
assets versus our liabilities as a country… I think of our best system
of higher ed, our broadest deeper capital markets in the world. I think
of our culture of entrepreneurship that celebrates people who try and
fail and get up and dust off their trousers and try again, our history
of immigration, welcoming people, as long as they want to come here and
contribute and be part of the American experiment, our written
constitution, rule of law, on and on and on. We can all list off all
these assets. And about the only thing as I talk to my constituents,
that they lament is our inability for Washington, DC to work, to set
bold new national policy when needed.

"We have an opportunity here to
prove to the Chinese Communist Party, to prove to those skeptics who
indicate that an authoritarian system is going to win the 21st century,
that can mobilize all those assets in service of our values. And I
believe it’s going to happen."
