And we've got teams, like I said, that are working around the clock doing analysis and effort on this in an effort to try to focus on affordability and keeping the prices down.

But this has been our focus since the day that President Trump took office.

When he took office and declared an energy emergency, it was because

energy prices were out of control, whether it was for electricity or for liquid fuels or for heating your home.

And of course, those prices have dropped dramatically in last year because President Trump's policies of energy dominance, which is about having enough energy for low prices at home and being able to help

lower prices for our allies.

Lifting the ban on LNG export facilities, which also happened immediately in the Trump administration, has allowed U.S.

to become the number one LNG export.

We've displaced two-thirds of the Russian gas that was being sold into Western Europe this past winter.

The estimates are that that's in the tens of billions of dollars that were saved by consumers in our allies because of U.S.

being able to literally come to the rescue with low energy prices.

and whether it's prescription drugs, whether it's housing, whether it's interest rates, whether it's food, President Trump has been on the march lowering those prices for Americans, and with this temporary interruption versus to have an opportunity for long-term transformation, I think this is something that everybody in the world should be joining in.

If everybody thinks it's okay to have a regime that killed 40,000 of their own people,

before this recent conflict even started just because people were expressing free speech in the street.

I think that's okay to have that group of people controlling the world's energy supplies in the world market.

You know, I would be surprised.

I mean, people need to come to a realization that this is a global problem.

People should be aligned with President Trump and aligned with the United States to say, you know, we shouldn't be standing for having a group of terrorists control the global economy.

Well, I'd say there's certainly been a discussion.

We've got a lot of smart people working in this administration.
