1
00:00:05,630 --> 00:00:02,750
here is our interview with Gregory

2
00:00:07,490 --> 00:00:05,640
wrightstone I want to take you what I

3
00:00:10,190 --> 00:00:07,500
see is the logical progression through

4
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:10,200
the whole climate change question

5
00:00:15,709 --> 00:00:13,320
um but before we do do you are you able

6
00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:15,719
to comment just a bit on what's going on

7
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:19,080
with Russia and Ukraine and and um and

8
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:21,240
our energy production for instance

9
00:00:26,089 --> 00:00:23,400
you know just just today Biden came out

10
00:00:28,370 --> 00:00:26,099
I'm sure you heard and and is Banning

11
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:28,380
Russian oil and there seems to be some

12
00:00:31,849 --> 00:00:30,480
dispute regarding some of the facts for

13
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:31,859
instance the Biden Administration is

14
00:00:36,530 --> 00:00:34,440
saying that we produce more oil today

15
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:36,540
than ever so this whole idea that Biden

16
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:38,520
has done anything to limit

17
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:42,000
oil production in America is just wrong

18
00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:45,000
can you address that oh sure

19
00:00:49,069 --> 00:00:46,020
um

20
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:49,079
yeah what they've stated as fact is is

21
00:00:54,290 --> 00:00:52,020
easily proven uh it peaked in in late 20

22
00:00:56,510 --> 00:00:54,300
oil production the United States peaked

23
00:00:58,189 --> 00:00:56,520
in late 2019 and if we look and they're

24
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:58,199
also blaming

25
00:01:01,010 --> 00:00:58,800
um

26
00:01:03,709 --> 00:01:01,020
they're saying well the reason gasoline

27
00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:03,719
prices were so low is because of this

28
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:06,360
pandemic well I'm going to use my cheat

29
00:01:13,090 --> 00:01:09,720
sheet here in December of 2019. that's

30
00:01:16,370 --> 00:01:13,100
pre-coveted the economy is booming and

31
00:01:17,570 --> 00:01:16,380
gasoline prices were two dollars and 54

32
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:17,580
cents

33
00:01:24,289 --> 00:01:20,640
when he took over they were two dollars

34
00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:24,299
and 38 cents slightly lower than than

35
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,740
the pre-covered at the end of the

36
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:27,600
pre-covered when he pulled out of

37
00:01:32,450 --> 00:01:29,759
Afghanistan there's three dollars and 15

38
00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:32,460
cents and today what is it 450 and

39
00:01:38,270 --> 00:01:34,860
Rising uh

40
00:01:41,390 --> 00:01:38,280
and we were before what when he took

41
00:01:44,450 --> 00:01:41,400
office that we could he was inaugurated

42
00:01:46,730 --> 00:01:44,460
uh it was the first week since 1985 that

43
00:01:49,249 --> 00:01:46,740
the United States had not imported one

44
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:49,259
barrel of oil from Saudi Arabia the very

45
00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:51,840
first so we had finally after decades

46
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:53,700
and Decades of working at it Trump

47
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:55,920
freeing up the entrepreneurs in the oil

48
00:02:01,609 --> 00:01:58,799
patch to go get it we finally became

49
00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:01,619
nearly or possibly completely energy

50
00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:04,020
independent so say that again about

51
00:02:08,990 --> 00:02:06,180
Saudi Arabia that we were not buying

52
00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:09,000
from them that was the first week since

53
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:10,500
1985

54
00:02:15,290 --> 00:02:12,660
that we had not bought one barrel of oil

55
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,300
from Saudi Arabia the week he took over

56
00:02:19,369 --> 00:02:17,760
and it was inaugurated were we buying it

57
00:02:23,630 --> 00:02:19,379
from Russia

58
00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:23,640
yeah okay yeah I mean but but the Saudis

59
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:27,420
were used to be one of our largest uh

60
00:02:31,970 --> 00:02:29,700
importers so we are producing so much in

61
00:02:34,970 --> 00:02:31,980
the U.S that we didn't need to buy from

62
00:02:37,309 --> 00:02:34,980
Saudi Arabia anymore right and then uh

63
00:02:39,890 --> 00:02:37,319
Biden takes over so let's talk about

64
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:39,900
what are the factors driving up gas

65
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:43,680
prices before the Ukraine war

66
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:45,660
yeah we had

67
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:48,239
we had problems with uh well number one

68
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,580
we had with with covet it did drive oil

69
00:02:54,530 --> 00:02:52,560
prices down substantially because of

70
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:54,540
demand component which slowed down

71
00:02:59,630 --> 00:02:57,360
drilling which then slowed down the new

72
00:03:01,009 --> 00:02:59,640
oil coming online uh that was probably

73
00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:01,019
the first thing but whenever he took

74
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:03,720
office he made a series of decisions on

75
00:03:07,490 --> 00:03:05,760
his first day in office he did three

76
00:03:10,130 --> 00:03:07,500
things that were very impactful in oil

77
00:03:12,589 --> 00:03:10,140
prices uh one as everyone knows is the

78
00:03:13,869 --> 00:03:12,599
killing of the XL Pipeline which would

79
00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:13,879
have brought

80
00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:17,640
Canadian tar Sands oil 830 000 barrels

81
00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:19,560
into the United States

82
00:03:25,009 --> 00:03:21,540
um a fair portion of that still getting

83
00:03:26,589 --> 00:03:25,019
down via tanker trucks or tanker cars on

84
00:03:29,570 --> 00:03:26,599
rail

85
00:03:31,009 --> 00:03:29,580
but not nearly as much and as fast as

86
00:03:33,470 --> 00:03:31,019
what it would with the pipeline and that

87
00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:33,480
pipeline that he killed is the safest

88
00:03:38,809 --> 00:03:36,900
method of transportation by far of any

89
00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:38,819
way to move oil well also if you don't

90
00:03:43,369 --> 00:03:40,860
have trucks bringing it down then that

91
00:03:45,229 --> 00:03:43,379
would be fewer emissions wouldn't it

92
00:03:49,149 --> 00:03:45,239
it would in the trains that bring most

93
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:49,159
of it also emit quite a bit but

94
00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:51,780
I'm okay with a big carbon footprint

95
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:54,959
because if you'll learn really bullish

96
00:03:58,729 --> 00:03:56,879
on the many many benefits of carbon

97
00:04:02,270 --> 00:03:58,739
dioxide but the other two things he did

98
00:04:04,729 --> 00:04:02,280
that's very same day he killed XL he

99
00:04:09,130 --> 00:04:04,739
banned leasing in federal lands which is

100
00:04:11,869 --> 00:04:09,140
primarily uh Gulf of Mexico and Alaska

101
00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:11,879
that's just and just real quick is that

102
00:04:14,929 --> 00:04:12,780
a big deal or not because the

103
00:04:16,670 --> 00:04:14,939
administration is saying oh only only 10

104
00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:16,680
percent of U.S drilling comes on Federal

105
00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:19,979
Land yeah 10 is a lot that's a lot

106
00:04:24,650 --> 00:04:22,680
that's that's two million barrels a day

107
00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:24,660
come out of the Gulf Coast out of the

108
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:27,960
gulf so yeah to say that 10 million

109
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:30,180
barrels a day is not a lot of oil is

110
00:04:34,490 --> 00:04:32,400
again just being disingenuous now was he

111
00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:34,500
was that stopping new

112
00:04:39,650 --> 00:04:38,280
Wells or new so whatever's being

113
00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:39,660
produced right now continues to get

114
00:04:45,650 --> 00:04:42,840
produced okay right but you need to keep

115
00:04:46,909 --> 00:04:45,660
replenishing you're I'm probably telling

116
00:04:49,490 --> 00:04:46,919
you what you already know but with an

117
00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:49,500
oil well or a natural gas well your Peak

118
00:04:53,689 --> 00:04:51,720
production comes very early and then you

119
00:04:57,170 --> 00:04:53,699
have this kind of a hyper we have a

120
00:04:59,150 --> 00:04:57,180
hyperbolic decline where the decline is

121
00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:59,160
greatest at the beginning and then

122
00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:01,199
diminishes and flattens out but it keeps

123
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,479
declining so it's that new the new wells

124
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:06,000
coming online that produce the highest

125
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:09,360
volumes of oil but but later he also

126
00:05:13,850 --> 00:05:11,520
banned Drilling in the Arctic National

127
00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:13,860
Wildlife Refuge thought to be the

128
00:05:19,010 --> 00:05:16,740
largest undeveloped uh oil accumulation

129
00:05:21,950 --> 00:05:19,020
in North America

130
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:21,960
um and he also uh

131
00:05:26,330 --> 00:05:24,840
the band and I'm struggling here to

132
00:05:28,490 --> 00:05:26,340
think what the third thing was but it

133
00:05:30,409 --> 00:05:28,500
was oh uh yeah the band well it was it

134
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:30,419
was that Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

135
00:05:35,629 --> 00:05:32,639
Leasing and federal property and Excel

136
00:05:38,210 --> 00:05:35,639
Pipeline and then last week he's been

137
00:05:39,529 --> 00:05:38,220
doing series of these things last week

138
00:05:42,409 --> 00:05:39,539
um he said we're not going to issue any

139
00:05:44,450 --> 00:05:42,419
new pipeline permits ferc Federal Energy

140
00:05:47,450 --> 00:05:44,460
Regulatory Commission no more new

141
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:47,460
pipeline uh permits well if you can't

142
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:49,620
build a pipeline particularly for

143
00:05:54,770 --> 00:05:51,360
tonight it's really mainly natural gas

144
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,780
if you can't build that pipeline uh you

145
00:05:59,090 --> 00:05:56,639
can't bring the product to Market why

146
00:06:00,890 --> 00:05:59,100
drill the wells uh and last week he

147
00:06:04,129 --> 00:06:00,900
banned Drilling in the National

148
00:06:06,529 --> 00:06:04,139
Petroleum Reserve in Alaska which is it

149
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:06,539
that Piggies backs onto the other and

150
00:06:11,629 --> 00:06:08,639
were development that's not going to

151
00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:11,639
happen because prude obey was the was

152
00:06:16,249 --> 00:06:13,560
the huge oil field in Alaska that we

153
00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:16,259
built the big pipeline South well prude

154
00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:18,720
obey is a significant decline now it's

155
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,000
the pipeline is nearing its economic

156
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,520
limit and and as the production

157
00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:25,680
continues to decline out of prude obey

158
00:06:30,170 --> 00:06:28,020
we're not that far from that pipeline

159
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,180
reaching its economic limit we have to

160
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:32,720
be decommissioned and when that occurs

161
00:06:37,490 --> 00:06:35,100
those other two fields we talked about

162
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:37,500
or were giant supergiants actually

163
00:06:42,290 --> 00:06:40,560
probably that oil would have flowed

164
00:06:43,969 --> 00:06:42,300
through the pipeline we've extended the

165
00:06:47,450 --> 00:06:43,979
life of that pipeline for many many

166
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,460
decades if those don't occur that

167
00:06:51,650 --> 00:06:49,919
pipeline will be decommissioned and and

168
00:06:54,469 --> 00:06:51,660
that all the remaining oil will be

169
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:54,479
stranded probably forever so these are

170
00:06:59,809 --> 00:06:56,160
the things that piggyback one on the

171
00:07:03,189 --> 00:06:59,819
other bad decisions now lead to horrific

172
00:07:06,890 --> 00:07:03,199
consequences 5 10 20 years in the future

173
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:06,900
what what was his justification for

174
00:07:10,249 --> 00:07:09,360
canceling the Excel pipeline climate

175
00:07:12,529 --> 00:07:10,259
change

176
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:12,539
uh we're all going to die in 10 years

177
00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:13,860
the plan is going to be destroyed

178
00:07:19,969 --> 00:07:16,620
because of carbon dioxide emissions and

179
00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:19,979
and uh if we what what we're doing is

180
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:23,759
enabling uh these dirty oil producers to

181
00:07:28,850 --> 00:07:26,639
produce more oil that'll lead to more

182
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:28,860
carbon monoxide which will lead to more

183
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:31,440
catastrophic warming and will perish

184
00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:33,840
quicker so that's that's the reasoning

185
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:36,840
and it's false and let's let's State the

186
00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:39,840
obvious which is that for climate change

187
00:07:44,110 --> 00:07:42,479
activists which includes Joe Biden and

188
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:44,120
Bernie's and his partner Bernie Sanders

189
00:07:51,469 --> 00:07:48,000
the higher the prices of gas are the

190
00:07:54,050 --> 00:07:51,479
better because suddenly wind and solar

191
00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:54,060
doesn't look as expensive as compared

192
00:07:58,670 --> 00:07:56,639
right yeah that's the Dirty Little

193
00:08:00,589 --> 00:07:58,680
Secret here this has been his plan all

194
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:00,599
along this has been the you remember one

195
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:03,960
of Obama said uh uh we're going to ban

196
00:08:07,730 --> 00:08:06,060
coal and we're going to ban oil and it's

197
00:08:10,730 --> 00:08:07,740
going to be it's going to lead to higher

198
00:08:13,249 --> 00:08:10,740
much much difficult and iron Danger you

199
00:08:14,809 --> 00:08:13,259
know higher costs for consumers he

200
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:14,819
admitted that

201
00:08:19,010 --> 00:08:16,680
um and that's the Biden plan he stated

202
00:08:20,749 --> 00:08:19,020
it as a candidate and he stated it after

203
00:08:24,050 --> 00:08:20,759
he got elected and he started enacting

204
00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:24,060
it was we need to drive

205
00:08:28,249 --> 00:08:24,780
um

206
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:28,259
all forms of energy from fossil fuel

207
00:08:34,909 --> 00:08:32,360
fossil fuels or fossil energy sources

208
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:34,919
either if by creating from an

209
00:08:39,709 --> 00:08:36,360
electricity generation or for

210
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:39,719
transportation we need in his his goal

211
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:42,240
was to increase significantly the cost

212
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:45,120
of oil and natural gas and any natural

213
00:08:51,170 --> 00:08:47,760
any electricity generator from it the

214
00:08:54,650 --> 00:08:51,180
plan was to do it using carbon taxation

215
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,660
schemes carbon these faux conservatives

216
00:08:58,730 --> 00:08:57,120
uh like to call it carbon dividends

217
00:09:00,350 --> 00:08:58,740
because it sounds doesn't sound as bad

218
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:00,360
but all of these things would have

219
00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:04,080
driven the costs of of oil gasoline

220
00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:06,080
natural gas

221
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:08,160
significantly and what what this

222
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:10,560
Ukrainian Invasion has done is just

223
00:09:14,449 --> 00:09:13,130
accelerated their timetable for

224
00:09:17,210 --> 00:09:14,459
[Applause]

225
00:09:19,550 --> 00:09:17,220
um for this great increase in prices

226
00:09:20,930 --> 00:09:19,560
this was their plan all along to get

227
00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:20,940
these prices where they are it's just

228
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:23,339
been accelerated by a few years okay so

229
00:09:29,630 --> 00:09:27,660
then sorry how help explain then if

230
00:09:32,750 --> 00:09:29,640
Biden wants higher prices which I think

231
00:09:34,850 --> 00:09:32,760
you and I tend to agree on that why

232
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:34,860
would did he hesitate for so long in

233
00:09:40,509 --> 00:09:37,440
Banning Russian gas he claims it's

234
00:09:43,070 --> 00:09:40,519
because I'm concerned about prices

235
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:43,080
and uh I don't want to hurt the American

236
00:09:47,449 --> 00:09:45,120
people but it's that something doesn't

237
00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:47,459
make sense there let me just let me just

238
00:09:52,090 --> 00:09:48,839
correct you for a second there you said

239
00:09:55,370 --> 00:09:52,100
Russian gas it's really Russian oil okay

240
00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:55,380
so the Russian gas natural gas will be

241
00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:57,240
coming through the the pipeline that was

242
00:10:01,790 --> 00:09:59,519
constructed the Russian oils uh coming

243
00:10:06,829 --> 00:10:01,800
through various

244
00:10:12,009 --> 00:10:09,230
Banning Russian oil

245
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:12,019
is likely not going to do a darn thing

246
00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:16,760
to decrease uh to to to affect our

247
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:19,440
Global oil prices because oil is a

248
00:10:23,870 --> 00:10:21,360
fungible commodity and there are enough

249
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:23,880
enough other countries that have already

250
00:10:28,430 --> 00:10:26,760
stated we'll buy all the oil Japan as

251
00:10:29,690 --> 00:10:28,440
just I think was yesterday said we're

252
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,700
going to buy we're going to continue

253
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:31,680
buying Russian oil and we may Step It Up

254
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:34,320
China has has said they're going to buy

255
00:10:37,730 --> 00:10:36,480
Russian oil so

256
00:10:39,889 --> 00:10:37,740
um there are other people out there

257
00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:39,899
willing to buy it since it since oil is

258
00:10:46,009 --> 00:10:42,959
a fungible commodity uh it's in the

259
00:10:48,769 --> 00:10:46,019
worldwide stage a barrel of oil

260
00:10:50,930 --> 00:10:48,779
sold by Russia to Japan is really kind

261
00:10:53,569 --> 00:10:50,940
of the same as a barrel of oil so does

262
00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:53,579
at least for their for their purposes
