Hello there. It's Eric Eurkson here. I hope you're doing well. The full number 8779773-745 should you wish to be on this here program. I've got to play you some audio. I got to find it all of a sudden. I had it and then I closed the window.

And now I've got to get it back.

This is a campaign commercial that Barack Obama ran against Hillary Clinton in 2016 in the Democratic primary.

Listen to this.

More low-road attacks from Hillary Clinton.

Now she's pushing a bogus gas tax gimmick.

Even Governor Easley called such plans a subsidy for oil companies.

They'll simply raise prices and pocket the difference. Clinton aides admit it won't too much for you, but would help her politically.

So here's the choice. Clinton gimmicks that help big oil or Barack Obama, a real energy plan and a thousand dollar middle class tax cut

to help families truly pay the bills. I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

That was Barack Obama. That was run in North Carolina in the Democratic primary there,

the North Carolina primary, was what pushed Barack Obama over the line, if I remember right,

in 2000, not 2016, I said, 2008 in the Democratic primary. In 2008, Barack Obama attacking Hillary Clinton

for proposing a gas tax holiday. Now here is Alston Golsby, one of Barack Obama's chief economic

advisors during his time in the White House. Yeah, I think the money that would go to the Federal Highway

Trust Fund, they would just have to borrow it.

I think the bigger problem that people should think about is in an environment where the supply is

constrained, when you get rid of the tax, if you got rid of the tax, it might very well be that the refineries simply

raise the price and they say, hey, thank you very much.

You basically, rather than cutting the tax and getting it passed through to the consumers,

did a thing that got passed through to the refineries.

So the consumer's actual benefit might be even smaller than what it first looks like.
