This thing was set up for purposes of coordinating how everyone was going to call. You know, when these things happen, I need to call foreign ministers, especially of our close allies. We need to notify members of Congress. Other members of the team have different people they need to notify as well. And that was the purpose of why it was set up. Obviously, someone made a mistake.
Someone made a big mistake and added a journalist. Nothing against journalists, but you ain't supposed to be on that thing.
And again, I just I think there is a little richness of what you said in the fact that if you go back way back in the old days as well. And oh, my gosh, Hillary Clinton was using the wrong email or Joe Biden's incompetent. Come on, guys.
You know, if if you don't think this is a case of incompetence and a pattern after a variety of other kind of sloppy use of classified information, then you've not been following the last 60 plus days that I've been following. But in terms.
With the policies now and a belief that we can invest in America, across America, and including Alaska, which was sanctioned far more than Iran or Venezuela by the Biden administration, now that we're free to produce American energy across our country, it gives us great geopolitical leverage.
If we don't like the behavior of Venezuela and our foreign policy decides, hey, we should change Venezuela's ability to export oil, we have the ability to do that without impacting prices to American consumers. So key for me is American energy makes American lives better, also makes us more secure and more strategically powerful abroad.
