EXCERPT:
CRUZ: "Look, it's fundamentally deceptive, it's dishonest, it doesn't make any sense. When Biden was elected, the average price of gasoline was $2.38 a gallon. It has doubled since then. And that's not an accident. They have attacked U.S. energy production, you’re right, they are encouraging Iran and Venezuela, our enemies, to produce because they don’t want American energy and it is hurting consumers. And I've got to say, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was very honest pain, he said, 'The pain is the point. The more we drive up your cost at the pump, the more you will do what we want, which is sell your suburban and buy a Prius.' That's not what the American people want."
