On the price of oil:

"Yeah, thanks for being here. And you know, actually, surprisingly to most people, Kansas is a big oil-producing state. And what we've witnessed here is just a little bit of a hiccup, and that happens in today's markets; the markets tend to overreact to all the news. And actually, the oil prices were getting so low that those markets were looking for a reason to surge. But thank God for the overwhelming power of our military, that they're going to bring this conflict home for us, and hopefully it will be over quickly, and that price at the pump will come right back down to where it was in Kansas, getting close to $2 a gallon."

On an end to the conflict in Iran:

"I think all objective evidence would say that we're ahead of the President's original schedule. You think about the President's original goal, which was to knock out their missiles, their nukes, their navy. Well, people were wondering what was the big deal about the navy? Well, the President was thinking ahead here - Iran's navy could have played havoc on those ships passing through that Strait, along with their missiles as well. So I think we're making huge strides. Again, we're shooting the archer, not the arrows now, so we're trying to disassemble, to annihilate all of their rocket launchers as well. So I think again, all the evidence shows that we're dominating the skies, and now it's basically a shooting gallery for Israel and American airmen and airwomen."

On the oil independence of America under President Trump:

"Well, you're spot on, so think about what you described here: Joe Biden empties the oil coffers because inflation was occurring, and it had no dramatic difference on the inflation. But beyond that, think about what President Trump is doing today and what he did in his first term. Thank goodness for "drill, baby, drill." we have a record amount of production here in this country; we're now the world's second biggest exporter, we're a net exporter of oil. So even though this conflict in Iran is having an impact on the world market, I think it'll be less of an impact here. This is not the way it was when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's, when we were so dependent upon that Middle East oil. So Biden messed it up, President Trump's trying to deliver for us again."
