“they've had them out of the market for finding oil now for a couple of years because of this Administration has been the one that really uh unfortunately has really you know been beat the oil companies up and so they've had a tendency not to be as aggressive but I think one of these days they will have to be because you'll run you're going to get you're going to get in a situation where you need more oil”
