Andy Puzder rips WH narrative on gas spike: 'How does using OPEC instead of US prevent emissions?'

The Biden administration's costly energy policies are hurting Americans wallets and not actually addressing their concerns about climate change, Andy Puzder said Friday on "The Story."

Psaki said part of the oil issue has to do with the effects of Hurricane Ida on the Gulf Coast, while adding that "short-term supply issues" must be considered along with "the long-term impact of the climate" – further explaining that it is important to now focus moreso on renewable energy production.

In response, Puzder – whose former company is the parent of Carl's Jr and Hardee's -- said the White House's current increased reliance on OPEC is counterintuitive, given the fact oil exploration in the Middle East has environmental impacts just as domestic speculation does.

"How on earth does it help prevent carbon emissions if we use OPEC's and Russia’s oil instead of our oil?" Puzder questioned.
