Maybe somebody can answer.

Yes.

These oil producers in America, I think they're ripping us off because they're not paying one dime more to produce the oil in this country than they were three weeks ago.

And we produce more oil than anybody else in the world. and some of the oil comes off of our own federal land which belongs to us yeah sometimes it's the oil companies

more often it's the governments the local state governments you know gas when it was uh 2
