Discussion on Gas Prices and Leadership

You're saying gas prices went up under Biden, and I criticized it then because I

didn't like why they were going up.

I mean, they're going up a lot under this

president that you supported, uh, but

you're just saying it's for the right reason in your view.

Yeah, and it's, and it's for a reason that he told the American people he

was gonna

do. One thing I know about this president, unlike so many other people in elected

office, when this president says something,

he does what he said.

He said he would cut taxes, he did. He said he would secure the border,

he did.

He said he would make sure Iran didn't get a nuclear weapon, and he's going about

doing that. And thank goodness he's got the courage-

But what about-

... and the toughness and the willingness to do what he said

when most of the other

president, all the other presidents for 47 years

wouldn't do it, but this guy will.

What about his promise in 2024 that if he was reelected gas would be

under $2 a gallon because of his policies?

Well, uh, gas prices were coming down until we had to deal with

this

situation. But, you know, the, the, that's, that's life.

That's dealing with, with world and yet w- w- the, the world we live in.

I think the country gets the fundamental fact,

I, and I know I understand this, President Trump makes decisions that are

in the best interest of our nation.

250 years, greatest country in history.

He makes decisions that are gonna help our country

and the long-term security and

safety of the people. He has the pr- And I think you want a commander-in-chief

like

that. You want a commander-in-chief who's

willing to do tough things that he knows

are good for us, all of us. All of your viewers, everyone

in this country, and frankly, everyone around the world, it is good

if Iran

doesn't get a nuclear weapon.

But if someone's listening to you and they were paying $2.98 a gallon,

uh, uh, gas before the war started, and now they're paying $4.53,

I mean, saying, "That's life," might not, you know, make them feel better-

I, th- th- those are-

... when they're filling up their car.

Those are your words. Those are your words, not mine.

I'm, I'm saying-

No, you said, "That's life" just now

... this is the sit- this is the situation. This is the situation.

They were pursuing a nuclear weapon. They're, they wanted to get there.

President Trump said, "I'm not gonna do that." He ran on that,

and he's taking the

appropriate action that I think you want your

commander-in-chief to take for the

security and safety of America.

But he also ran on bringing gas prices to under $2 a gallon.

I mean-

W- well, hopefully, hopefully-

... are voters supposed to look at that-

Hopefully we'll get-

... and say which one is-

Hopefully we'll get there soon. I, I want, I want br- gas prices low, too.

I mean, we all want gas prices low. Who doesn't for goodness sake?

But we also don't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.

And I think the country's smart. They understand that decisions have to be

made. Let's focus on getting those gas prices

down as quickly and as fast as we

can, but let's also focus on making sure

that this regime who was

willing to hang a 19-year-old star athlete in their

country, willing to do that, let's make sure they don't have a

nuclear weapon.

You said, "That's life." I was just quoting what you said a second

ago.

Uh, uh, those were not my words. Those were your words.

So I'm just-

No, I'm, I'm not saying that's life like...

I, I'm saying life sometimes throws things at

ya, that you, that you didn't

anticipate, and you have to deal with it.

And you want a commander-in-chief who will deal with it and deal with it in a way

that is focused on the safety of the people he was elected to

res- uh, to serve and protect
