"Well, let's just talk about gas prices first, said Haridopolos. Before this conflict with Iran, as everyone knows, gas prices were coming down. We're producing a heck of a lot more oil than we were in years past. We also know that during the [former President Joe] Biden years again, to put this in perspective we had the ability to build the Keystone Pipeline. They killed it. They also took out 40% of the strategic oil reserve during the Biden years."
"Dee continued: And secondly, when the president came into office, he said he was gonna make things grow for the American people. The economy gas prices was not gonna be above three dollars. I pay more than five dollars for a gallon right now. And thirdly, Mr. Congressman, when the president came into office, Americans were respected around the world. I just came from Europe. In Europe, we are disrespected Because of our actions around the world, America is no longer respected."
"And let me ask you, third question, why did the president build a golden statue of himself, acting like he's Jesus Christ on the world stage, putting up posters, acting as though he is Christ? The caller was then interrupted by C-SPAN's Greta Brawner, who said, Ok, Dee, I'll jump in, and we'll have the congressman respond."
"He went on to stress the importance of winning the war with Iran, giving the rest of the caller's question no airtime, but noting that he's probably not the biggest fan of the president."
A caller questioned Rep. Mike Haridopolos about what President Donald Trump gained from China under Xi Jinping, whether Trump delivered on promises about economic growth and gas prices, and whether America lost respect abroad. The caller also criticized Trump’s public self-presentation, including claims about acting like Jesus Christ and building a golden statue. Haridopolos interrupted to address gas prices first, saying prices were falling before a conflict with Iran. He cited increased U.S. oil production and referenced the Keystone Pipeline being stopped during Biden years. He also said Biden-era actions reduced the strategic oil reserve by 40%. He emphasized winning the war with Iran and did not answer the rest of the caller’s questions.
