Talk about pretzel logic! This from a member of the most staggeringly incompetent, sycophantic Cabinet in US history. Count me unsurprised.

I must have missed where Gavin Newsom invaded Iran and started a nasty war with no idea what it would lead to.

Did he just accuse Gavin Newsom of starting the war in Iran? Cause it sounded like he did..🤷🏻‍♀️

Well at least they aren’t blaming the mayor of LA……

Unreality at its finest?!

They’re all just haughty morons.

I thought everything was Joe Biden's fault

Trump take renewables

To steelman it, he's saying Newsom should've known Trump was lying about not starting any new wars. 😆 So, Trump's a liar. Plan accordingly. Got it, Doug.

Unless California has seceded recently from the US (no), Burgum seeks to appeal to the rubes, who won’t do their own research. Two countries have dominated US imports for years: Canada 🇨🇦 & Mexico 🇲🇽. elchemy.com/blogs/chemic...

Imagine a man so powerful that long before he was born he was dictating the refining capabilities for California.

There is gaslighting and then there is this

Propaganda machine

The whole world is paying high gas prices. We all know who’s fault it is and it ain’t Gavin.

Can we also know who in the heck does the hair of these goons?!? All these guys that go on Faux News have the WORST "I am a white man GOP politician" hair EVER.

There is a non-zero chance they actually believe this and thought only California would suffer

Yep. Continue to prop up the idiots who set up this whole failing system back in the early 1900s. Look at all the industries this country has let go to shit or disappear. Steel, farming, auto, housing. Oil or coal? Nope, can't let that happen

Like all abusers they want to keep us dependent. It's always the most dangerous when you're leaving.

Same shit difference day nobody believes you

“Your face got in the way of my fist.” What a fucking dipshit

This guy is either hopelessly stupid or dishonest. Blames Newsom for high gas prices. He’s the Secretary of Energy. Act serious, even if you are not pal. Woefully unqualified.

Holy shit! A brunette on the White Nationalist channel? The Murdochs should be ashamed

nothing but trolls. trump has made trolling standard practice in what was a civil society. At least people in top positions put on the face of seriousness. An agency like the EPA now brags about removing pollution rules for polluters as ushering in an era of prosperity.

Did Burgum raid President Stupid’s stash of stupid pills today?

Umm, what?

Gavin Newsome bombed Iran?

I’m confused…Newsom declared war on Iran? Does Hegseth know? 🙄

😂😂😂

Doug Burgum is just another multi-millionaire who happily shits on the American peasants in support of his child rapist master,Trump.

CA will be out 10% of our total energy. Hawaii though will be without 90%.

"Interesting" that it costs more to charge an EV at a public charging station in Texas than in California, I just noticed.

This guy is a fking moron 24/7/

California imports about half of it's oil needs, and the majority comes from Ecuador and Brazil

Truth matters. Conscience matters..

If you lie enough times , they will believe you, Joseph Goebbels - Nazi 1945.

Only the fucking idiots that watch Fox would believe this.

Not Chris Wright?

They lied.

What did you expect, after all this is the Fox "News" entertainment section and not journalism. Just like Trump's cage fight. Fake to the tilt.

Why do these guys always lie and behave like this. California does get a chunk of its oil from the middle east, but you know who else does too? Texas.

Chevron is based where?

It’s so effed up that they talk about California and New York as if they exist in different countries when those two states provide basically a third of the entire US’s GDP alone. Just imagine if a democratic administration talked about red states even close to this disrespectfully.

🤨🤔 I am detecting a LIE with LIE METER!!

👀

When I was in college we could hop a free ride from our campus library down to UCLA's. The 'sky' was orange and the mountains surrounding the city invisible. That's 1 big reason why prices are higher, special CA only blend to reduce smog.

Everyone did something wrong… except for us. Our shit doesn’t stink that’s why I eat some of Mr Trump’s shit everyday. By the way… Biden is bad. Newsom is bad. Gays are bad. Mexico will pay for the wall.

wtf is this guy even talking about? It's down right scary.

The man is either intentionally lying or clueless as to how oil price is set.

He knows darn well that “energy” does not mean only oil. Yes, we have higher gas prices and cleaner air. 67% of our total electricity, “energy”, comes from renewables. Wind, solar and hydro. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/07/14/i...

Exactly right on this. And California banned new oil drilling permits in 2022, so they’re even more reliant on imports now—over 70% of their crude comes from overseas, mostly the Middle East.

On today's episode of "The Oligarchy Must Die"....

Joe Biden is relieved that this was not his fault for a change.

Or they'll simply swap out their gas guzzlers for EVs. And sorry partner, but there other EV producers other Tesla in the US, and that might put a slash US Oil CEOs bottom line, you know, the ones that donate to him. Or maybe I'm just whistling Dixie.

The dude has the personality of Wonder Bread. 🙄

Funny… I thought “we” didn’t need the Strait. 🤔

Self-inflicted???

i wish somebody would over-rotate this dickhead

A cartoon like idiot.

Burgum, no one is buying what you’re selling. Everyone knows -Trump started the war that is causing the shortages.

There you go then. Next time bomb California refineries and blame Gavin Newsom. No need to fly all the way to Iran.

Burgum was never smart enough to be Potus, let alone Gov. his only hope to stay in politics is to attach himself to Trump. when this is all over, we'll never hear from him again...

The MAGATS are, they’ll believe anything.

How does he get this?

But but but, didn’t his “king” say US doesn’t get oil from Strait and isn’t CA still part of the U.S.? ffs

*Obviously, I meant Iran, not Iraq. Damn autocorrect/predictive text! This app really needs an editing function.

And on that crazy statement I’m out! Have a great weekend everyone! 🥰🥰

Sounds like Trump started an ilegal war against Iran that impacted California’s oil imports from the Strait of Hormuz to get back at Gavin Newsom for what? … not bending a knee to Trump? The most idiotic reason for starting a war that cost lives, billions and increased gas prices throughout the US

Is Governor Newsom President?

Oh so it's not Biden's fault anymore?

Liars gonna lie.

Is he aware that California has its own oil wells? Like you can see them all over the place.

If you’re “dum” enough to think Gavin Newsom is responsible for the petroleum sources of California, you have Fox News to thank for that.

Yeah, if he hadn't ticked tsf off and made him start a stupid forever war...🙄

What a complete aZzhole …

They got tired of saying Biden. Now the Trump war is all the California Gov's idea. Truly they misfits of America.

So California, exclusive of other states, gets their oil shipped through the strait? And the Governor is responsible for where California gets its oil?

Cali does not import oil. They are a major producer and export an enormous amount of oil because there is no pipeline into the USA.

Another WTF moment brought to you by the Trump administration.

Strange - I don't recall Gov Newsom giving any orders to bomb Iran.

I guess for once Trump is right, he does surround himself with dumber people than himself

g.co/gemini/share...

These people are so insulated and incapable of communicating even the most basic message.

Funny, California didn't have that problem before 47's illegal war.

I wouldn’t have predicted that Burgum would debase himself this much. Wasn’t he supposed to be one of the more sensible ones?

Phoney baloney.

Huh! And here I thought we had oil and gas in America.

Pollution plants fuck off fox news

Texas has one I said one plant that makes gasoline. Other plant jet fuel the rest chemical plants mostly plastic plants

Really now? Interesting since its sanctioned & they get @ 500K barrels from 🇨🇦 to the US West Coast.

I didn't know Newsome bombed Iran

What?

they know their voters are only watching fox and are haters living good of of dem work in society. newsom should ban/deal with somehow the fox propaganda machine

Bruh!

What a putz Bergum is. All these sycophants just make shit up.

Another day more idiocy spewing from these morons pie-holes. Surely some republican supporters are getting embarrassed by this level of incompetence.

Nope can't blame Newsom for that mess.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Hey Doug…Gavin isn’t gonna fuck you no matter how many times you talk about him.

Can these assheads hear themselves?

Newsom didn’t touch gas prices. California voters VOTED for a tax to help our environment & roads. We also are heavy into renewables and EV’s. We are the nightmare of fossil fuels www.gov.ca.gov/2025/03/20/c...

what other governors might be affected, sir?

Another num nut speaks

I think they did this the first administration as well but this time the blame assessment has gotten grander and requires much more creativity.

This guy is the biggest ass kisser of the bunch….

How is it that the US is both the largest oil producing country and our consumption is less than our production but somehow we need oil from the Middle East to meet our needs?

That’s just plain stupid. Suck up making another dumb ass statement.

Your response sir? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov

So every state sources their own gas? Someone better tell Chevron!

No no no

Ugh.

And they say it with such STRAIGHT faces, as if none of us know how ludicrous it is. 🙄

I take great comfort and satisfaction in the fact that people like Burgum are going to have to spend a small fortune on personal security when this is over.

Yeah sure it was Gavin Newsom that was 100% behind the modern American individual car and truck dependent economy

Bubble Burgum is an idiot who deserves to be tarred and feathered with the rest of the Trump regime.

Cool, but no mention of how high gas prices hit low-income families hardest? People act like this is just a political gotcha, but for some, it's rent or groceries on the line.

Cool, so we’re just gonna pretend like Californians struggling with insane rent and wages aren’t hit hardest by high gas prices? The human cost here is wild, but sure, blame it all on state policy.
