Russia has overtaken the United States as the top exporter of natural gas to Europe despite the continent trying to break its reliance on Russian energy in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin cut his country’s supply of gas to Europe following his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the continent responded by importing liquified natural gas (LNG) from the U.S. “The US overtook Russia as a supplier of gas to Europe in September 2022, and has since 2023 accounted for about a fifth of the region’s supply,” The Financial Times reported. “But last month, Russian-piped gas and LNG shipments accounted for 15 per cent of total supply to the EU, UK, Switzerland, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia, according to data from ICIS.” U.S. shipments of natural gas to Europe have since fallen to 14% of the region’s supply, the report said, which comes despite efforts from several European nations to sanction Russian energy, which would reduce Russia’s ability to continue funding its war through energy sales. Experts claimed to the newspaper that “one-off factors drove the reversal,” including an outage at a major U.S. natural gas export facility. However, the outage comes after President Joe Biden halted issuing new licenses for natural gas exporters, which has forced companies to delay signing new contracts with U.S. energy producers, Bloomberg News reported. Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK) responded to the development by telling The Daily Wire in a statement: “The Biden Administration’s decision to pause approvals for new LNG export terminals has once again forced Europe into the pockets of Putin.” “His decisions not only counter his climate goals, since Russian natural gas is 41% dirtier than American, but harms our domestic producers,” she added. “When it comes to Russia, Biden talks the talk, but his actions are doing nothing but supporting Putin.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) also responded to the news during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast this week, saying that Biden and the Democrats “are united in favor of this policy.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “They are helping Russia. They are hurting our allies, they are hurting Europe, and they’re hurting jobs in Texas, and hurting jobs in America,” he said, later adding: “Joe Biden and the Democrats have this incoherent view that they hate oil and gas produced in America, which, by the way, produces jobs, raises wages here in the United States, but they seemingly love oil and gas produced by our enemies. They love Russian oil and gas. They love Iranian oil and gas. They love Venezuelan oil and gas.” “Joe Biden is halting the sale of American natural gas to Europe, which means the Europeans are buying them from Vladimir Putin,” he continued. “The Democrats are literally funding Russia in the war against Ukraine. It is incoherent and it’s indefensible.”

Fisker announced this week that it has filed for bankruptcy as the electric vehicle market continues to collapse amid low demand for the costly vehicles and various other concerns about electric cars. The company has struggled for a long time and had to stop production of its vehicles earlier this year to raise hundreds of millions of dollars that it needed to stay alive. The company later announced that it had “substantial doubt about Fisker’s ability to” stay in business. Fisker said in a statement on Tuesday that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is already in “advanced discussions with financial stakeholders regarding debtor-in-possession financing and the sale of its assets.” A spokesperson for the company claimed: “Fisker has made incredible progress since our founding, bringing the Ocean SUV to market twice as fast as expected in the auto industry and making good on our promises to deliver the most sustainable vehicle in the world.” “We are proud of our achievements, and we have put thousands of Fisker Ocean SUVs in customers’ hands in both North American and Europe,” the spokesperson added. “But like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, we have faced various market and macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted our ability to operate efficiently. After evaluating all options for our business, we determined that proceeding with a sale of our assets under Chapter 11 is the most viable path forward for the company.” The company’s struggles comes despite the Biden administration’s efforts to destroy the gas-powered car industry by implementing the most extreme pollution restrictions in history on automakers. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Numerous companies have been forced to scrap their plans to build electric cars, cancel their plans to go all electric, or have had to file for bankruptcy. An executive of another EVs company was recently sentenced to federal prison for lying to investors about the abilities of his company. Consumers regularly have complained about the high prices of electric vehicles, their quality and reliability, the lack of charging stations, the time it takes to charge them, how inconvenient they can be, and their significantly decreased performance during cold weather conditions.

On today's Morning Joe, discussing Juneteenth, which commemorates the freeing of Texas slaves who didn't learn of the Emancipation Proclamation until two-and-a-half years after Lincoln issued it, Al Sharpton proclaimed: "The reason I think [Juneteenth] is so important today is that the issues in this election for people like me is around states' rights, where you have states, I was in Florida last night, trying to ban books, trying to stop women's right to choose. It's an issue that's still alive, states' rights against the Union, the federal government protecting women, protecting blacks, and protecting history studies and other things. "And, the ability to communicate. When you get your news from the wrong source, you can be freed and don't even know it." Yes, pity those poor, benighted, conservative souls, who don't get their news from objective sources—like Morning Joe! They're like slaves living in ignorance! If only they would come to the light of MSNBC, and learn that they are free—free, I tell you!   Sharpton spoke of "states' rights" as if we were back in the Jim Crow South. In fact, as Washington Post editor Charles Lane wrote in 2017, after the election of Donald Trump, "Liberals are learning to love states’ rights." Liberal states and municipalities lean on states' rights with their "sanctuary" areas that refuse to uphold federal laws, that try to adopt gun control in defiance of Supreme Court rulings, etc. As for the "wrong source" of news: looking at you FNC! Perhaps in a second Biden term, Al could be made News Source Commissar, with the authority to ban "wrong sources." Al Sharpton's Juneteenth analogy was stretched further than his old tracksuit from back in the day, as you can see. A few minutes later, as they discussed Trump's reported insults toward Milwaukee before the Republican convention there, Sharpton said "I think that we're getting ahead of ourselves. He has a sentencing four days before the convention, and who knows, the judge may have other accommodations prepared for him. I don't know. It's maybe unlikely, but I wouldn't rule it out!" Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe 6/19/24 6:02 am EDT JOE SCARBOROUGH: Good morning, and welcome to Morning Joe. It's a very -- it's going to be very hot. Wednesday, June 19th, Juneteenth! With us, let's bring in the host of Way Too Early, White House bureau chief for Politico, Jonathan Lemire, former director of communications for President Obama, Jen Palmieri, president of the National Action Network and host of MSNBC's Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton, and professor at Princeton University, Eddie Glaude Jr. So good to have you all with us. We're going to get to just the record-setting heat first. But Rev, let's talk about today and Juneteenth, and why it's so important. AL SHARPTON: It's very important. Juneteenth is really a celebration, but also a reminder that after Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, those in Texas were not even aware they had been freed until June 19, 1865. For two-and-a-half years, slaves continued to work as slaves in Texas until the Union army came in and made it clear they were free, and enforced it. And the reason I think it's is so important, Joe, today is the issues in this election for people like me is around states' rights. Where you have states—I was in Florida last night—trying to ban books, trying to stop women's right to choose. It's an issue that's still alive, states' rights against the Union, the federal government protecting women, protecting blacks, and protecting history studies and other things. And, the ability to communicate. When you you get your news from the wrong source, you can be freed and don't even know it.
