VP Pool Report 12– VP Vance wrapped

VP has just wrapped up at roughly 2:51 local time. Event organizers said event is at capacity — there is an overflow crowd outside watching as well. His remarks were just over 31 minutes.

Some more quotes: “We can build more. We can build more factories. We can build more homes. We can create more of the good-paying jobs to support our families and sustain our nation.”

On gas prices: “It's also true that the reason gas prices are too high is that they go up every time a foreign leader in the Middle East throws a temper tantrum . That's been true, ladies and gentlemen, before I was alive. That was true back in the 1970s. Now the reason why that's true is because every time Democrats get power, what do they do? They shut down oil drilling. They shut down refineries. They shut down everything that makes us energy independent. And what Ken Paxton wants to do and has fought for his entire life is to drill, baby, drill.”

“But when shut down that refining capacity, you make us more reliant on those foreign producers. This is simple, ladies and gentlemen. More Democrat policies on green energy scams mean higher energy prices and more reliance on the Middle East. But under Donald Trump, just last week, we announced a nationwide expansion of American refinery capacity, starting right here in the state of Texas.”

Closing: . “And I need you to send a message to every far left activist, to everybody who expects Texas to surrender, that in five days Texas is not surrendering a damn thing.“
