'You're rude.' Andy Harris scolds MD debate crowd while answering Trump-Putin diesel deal question

[0:00] Our next question is, why did the United States make a deal with Russia for diesel [0:08] when we have sanctions against their country? [0:12] It seems we are playing both sides. [0:14] Please explain the logic. [0:17] And we begin with Dan Schwartz. [0:20] Well, I think we know why. [0:21] It's because our president and a lot of members of the GOP are pretty buddy-buddy with Vladimir Putin [0:26] and with dictators and authoritarians across the world. [0:30] My opponent, Congressman Andy Harris, has spent more time campaigning for his buddy, [0:35] authoritarian leader Viktor Orban, in Budapest, Hungary, on your taxpayer dollar [0:39] than he has talking to people before this event tonight in this election cycle. [0:45] Making a deal with Russia to lift sanctions on their diesel [0:49] when they are actively working with Iranian forces to kill our troops is not only wrong, it's disgusting. [0:55] And it follows a pattern of this administration pardoning criminals, [1:00] pardoning people, foreigners who are doing breaking laws in our country. [1:04] It was my team of state money transmission regulators that got the CEO of the world's largest crypto firm, [1:11] CZ, who ran Binance, to agree to never do business again in this country. [1:15] We took away all of his state money transmission licenses [1:18] because he was laundering money for Hamas and ISIS, [1:22] for the Sinola cartel, and for sex trafficking rings. [1:25] These guys don't care. [1:27] He went to federal prison. [1:28] How often have you heard of a billionaire doing prison time? [1:31] Not often. [1:32] The president came out with a full and complete pardon for Mr. CZ, [1:36] invalidating the work that my team did, [1:38] letting them come back into our finance system, [1:41] despite the fact that they broke laws that had been in place since 9-11 in the Patriot Act [1:45] to keep us all safe. [1:47] I haven't heard a peep about that from my opponent. [1:52] Harris? [1:53] You know, you're entitled to your opinion, but not your own set of facts. [1:58] No taxpayer dollar paid for me to go campaign for Victor Orban. [2:02] I'm sorry. [2:02] Oh, by the way, it's all public record. [2:05] I think there are no signs being held up, but that's okay. [2:07] You're a Democrat. [2:08] You can do whatever you want. [2:09] Now, so let's get the facts straight. [2:14] The facts are that diesel prices have gone up. [2:24] There's no question about it. [2:25] Why has it gone up? [2:26] Because the Democrats, environmental regulations have not... [2:32] Ma'am, I've got to tell you, this is the problem. [2:42] You all say you believe there's a First Amendment, [2:45] but only if you agree with you. [2:47] You should let me finish the sentence, ma'am. [2:50] You are rude. [2:51] You're rude, okay? [2:55] I'm sorry, I've got to do it. [2:56] If you're not going to tell them I'm rude, I'm going to tell them you're rude. [2:58] You're rude. [2:58] Let me finish the sentence, why there's a shortage diesel in the world and in the country. [3:03] Because Democrat and... [3:04] Stop. [3:05] You're rude, too. [3:07] So do you believe in the First Amendment? [3:08] Do you believe in my First Amendment right to express myself? [3:11] Okay, I'm going to... [3:12] It's my turn to express myself, not yours. [3:14] Dr. Harris, excuse me. [3:16] Yes, ma'am. [3:16] I'm going to ask each of our candidates to please stand and speak to his supporters. [3:22] And ask his supporters to be polite and respectful during this debate. [3:29] I'd like to start with Dan Schwartz. [3:32] That is very important that you guys are able to hear from both of us tonight. [3:36] So please, if you don't mind, let's keep all reactions for later when you get home. [3:42] And let's let the congressman speak. [3:44] Thank you, Mr. Schwartz. [3:45] Dr. Harris? [3:46] Thanks. [3:46] You don't need to hear from me because my people aren't interfering with Mr. Schwartz. [3:50] It's only one way. [3:51] Now, let me address it. [3:53] Why is diesel expensive? [3:54] Diesel is expensive because radical Democrat environmental policies have not allowed us [3:59] to build refineries in the United States. [4:01] Regardless, we still refine 5 million barrels of diesel a day. [4:05] We only consume 3 million barrels a day. [4:09] That's why I called for export limits to make sure that we keep our diesel produced domestically [4:15] in this country where it can be sold at a lower price. [4:18] If you want to sell it overseas at a higher price, have at it. [4:21] Because you know what? [4:22] Our allies, because, you know, my opponent says, well, we should have put together a coalition [4:26] of 30 or so. [4:27] Let me tell you something. [4:28] When Iran closed the Straits of Hormuz, we looked over our shoulder and no one was there. [4:34] Not the United Kingdom, which once had the best navy in the world. [4:37] Not France, one of the leading navies in the world. [4:39] They're all depending on the oil from the Straits of Hormuz. [4:42] They're not defending it. [4:43] They're depending on us. [4:45] So as far as I'm concerned, you want to sell that diesel overseas for $6, $7, $8 a gallon? [4:50] Sell it overseas. [4:51] Here, you sell it for $4 because that's all it costs to manufacture. [4:54] That's why we have a diesel crisis right now. [4:57] That's why our farmers are hurting. [4:59] I'm the one who suggested eliminate the tax on diesel, the federal tax, and then the state [5:04] tax to file. [5:05] My opponent criticized me for it. [5:06] I want to hear his explanation. [5:10] Thank you. [5:10] Okay, you need to remind me, are we on the next question? [5:14] Thank you. [5:15] Okay, let's take the temperature down a little bit. [5:20] Let's talk about coastal flooding and resilience. [5:23] Okay.
