EUROPEAN OFFICIALS SAY US PROFITING FROM UKRAINE WAR, CALL INFLATION REDUCTION ACT 'VERY WORRYING'
STEPHEN MOORE: … I literally, Will, almost fell out of my chair reading this headline that says we're going to allow, you know, Chevron to do drilling in Venezuela. Well, this is the same administration. Well, that won't allow us to do drilling here in the United States, not in Texas, not in Oklahoma, not in Alaska, not in West Virginia. But we can pump oil from Venezuela. It makes absolutely no sense. It's put America last energy policy they got. And by the way, as you know, Will, when Trump left office and I helped Trump on energy policy, our whole policy was to make America totally energy independence so we wouldn't have to rely on countries like Venezuela and Iran in Russia. And so somebody explain this one to me because it makes no sense.
