00:00But I will repeal every disastrous Biden regulation,

00:03cancel Crooker Joe's insane electric vehicle mandate,

00:08and we will, ready?

00:10Drill, baby, drill.

00:12Gonna get your energy way down.

00:18The Pennsylvania oil and gas industries

00:21will boom like never before.

00:23So what he did is prices started going.

00:26That's what caused inflation.

00:27He started cutting all the stuff that I did.

00:29So then he immediately put it back.

00:31So they're doing sort of similar numbers.

00:33He immediately put it back.

00:35But if they ever won, you're never gonna see oil again.

00:37You're never gonna see a car that goes

00:39more than a very short distance, okay?

00:43You're gonna be all driving trucks

00:45if you drive a truck that's electric.

00:47You'll be stopping six times to one time.

00:49Six to one.

00:51I had the truckers in the other day.

00:53One of them said to me, big.

00:54I said, how many trucks do you have?

00:55Sir, I have 28,000.

00:5728,000.

00:58These are the biggest truckers in the world, I think.

01:01But he said they want to make them use all electric trucks.

01:05I said, what's the problem with that?

01:06They don't go too far.

01:08They're too heavy.

01:09You know, one thing nobody knew.

01:10They're so heavy, two and a half times heavier

01:13than diesel fuel, that if you make them all electric

01:18with the batteries, the heavy batteries,

01:20you'd have to build and rebuild.

01:22Every bridge in the country would have to be rebuilt.

01:25I said, did you tell that to the people in Washington?

01:28You know, sometimes you could tell something

01:29like really simple.

01:31Did you tell that to the people in Washington?

01:33Yes, sir.

01:34What did they say?

01:35We don't care.

01:35We want you to go all electric.

01:37They would have to stop six times

01:40from New York to Los Angeles.

01:42How many times do you have to stop with diesel?

01:44He said, we don't have to stop at all.

01:45We go from New York to Los Angeles.

01:47You talk about having problems

01:50with trucks and with deliveries.

01:52This is, he said, it's gonna put us,

01:54he said, sir, all of my life for 50 years,

01:59I've been building damn trucks and buying them.

02:03And every single year, they got better.

02:07They got more fuel efficient.

02:09They got stronger.

02:10They got bigger.

02:11They looked better.

02:12Then we started adding apartments to the cab.

02:15Some of those apartments, sir, you'd be proud to live in.

02:19I said, I don't know about that.

02:21I think so, maybe.

02:22Hey, I'd have no problem.

02:24You don't know the real Donald Trump.

02:26But he said, every year, so it's such a great statement.

02:29Every single year, they got better without fail.

02:34I said, who makes the best truck?

02:35He said, they all make good.

02:36I went through every company, all great.

02:38They were all very complimented.

02:39He's a tough cookie too.

02:40But he started with one truck and now he has 28,000 trucks.

02:43I guess he's pretty good, right?

02:45I said, that's a lot of work, right?

02:46He said, I'll work my ass off, sir.

02:48But he said, and now they want to take it all away

02:51because I said, every year they got better.

02:54And if they do the electric truck,

02:55we're going to go back 80 years, not 60 years.

02:57You go back 80 years.

02:59It'll be a disaster for the country.

03:02I said, you've got to tell them that.

03:04He said, we tell them they couldn't care less.

03:05They don't even hear you.

03:07These people are sick and it's Biden

03:10and it's the communists that surround the desk.

03:12I'm telling you, it's Biden and the communists.
