“Comparing the price of oil and gas in June 2008 to March 2022 shows that oil companies are “price gouging.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
PolitiFact says: Experts said it takes time for gas prices to respond to drops in crude oil costs, and that’s not necessarily indicative of price gouging. The numbers are also cherry-picked to suggest the difference in prices is larger.
“Says Ron Johnson "is supporting the Republican plan that phases out Social Security and Medicare.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
“There are U.S.-backed bioweapon labs in Ukraine.”
PolitiFact rated this: Labs, yes. Weapons, no
PolitiFact says: These publicly-known labs, with plenty of outside oversight, are common. They work in public health and agriculture.
“What is happening here is not so different from what we're seeing happening in Russia, where you have got state TV and controlled messaging across the board.”
PolitiFact rated this: Pants on Fire
“As soon as Biden took office, he eliminated all subsidies for fossil fuels.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
PolitiFact says: Biden signed an executive order just days after taking office that required federal agencies to end fossil fuel subsidies. But most existing fossil-fuel subsidies can only be undone with the agreement of Congress.
“Jan. 6 defendants “are being held in prison without being charged.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
PolitiFact says: More than 775 people have been arrested in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Federal prosecutors have filed charging documents that show the alleged crimes by the individuals.
“David McCormick paid for attacks on Donald Trump.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
PolitiFact says: Oz alludes to Federal Election Commission records. They show McCormick gave money to Republican Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential primary, but that doesn’t amount to “paying for attacks” on Trump, who won the nomination.
“Joe Biden "has been secretly flying illegal immigrants into communities across the country in the middle of the night.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
PolitiFact says: The vast majority of people on the flights are unaccompanied minors who requested asylum under immigration law and are being released from federal custody to a parent or sponsor. The flights aren't new under Biden.
“Make no mistake: The current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of Vladimir Putin.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly True
PolitiFact says: The most recent spike in gas prices has stemmed largely from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. However, gas prices were rising long before the Russian troop buildup around Ukraine became front-page news.
“The Manhattan DA is actually proposing to downgrade armed robbery to a misdemeanor, and to stop prosecuting resisting arrest.”
PolitiFact rated this: Half True
PolitiFact says: The new Manhattan district attorney did lay out some new prosecutorial guidelines, but Suozzi oversimplified what the DA was proposing.
“We haven’t seen a single American megachurch offer anything to help Ukrainians.”
PolitiFact rated this: False

“Wladimir Klitschko has auctioned off his 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games gold medal to raise money for the children of Ukraine.”
PolitiFact rated this: Half True
“Five Wisconsin cities received money for the 2020 election from Mark Zuckerberg, which amounted to "a wave of massive election bribery.”
PolitiFact rated this: Pants on Fire
“We have more than enough ability in this country to produce enough oil to make up for the percentage that we buy from Russia.”
PolitiFact rated this: It will take time and money
PolitiFact says: Experts told PolitiFact the U.S. could indeed replace Russian imports with American oil. But, they warned, it might take time and cost more.
“A Ukrainian combat medic who died in February was seen in a video Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky posted of his visit to see wounded soldiers.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
“Classified documents from Ukraine “confirm without a shadow of a doubt” that the Ukraine government was “covertly preparing an offensive operation against Donbas, scheduled for March 2022.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
PolitiFact says: The document isn’t classified, and there are no direct statements in it about an attack on the Donbas. It makes references to a training camp on the opposite side of the country.
“Joe Biden's cancellation of the Keystone pipeline "dramatically increased Americans' dependence on Russian oil.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
PolitiFact says: The Keystone XL pipeline was never built, so Biden’s canceling it didn’t make the U.S. more reliant on Russian oil. After the U.S. placed economic sanctions on Venezuela in 2019, the U.S. began to buy more Russian oil.
“Says President Joe Biden "is trying to send taxpayer dollars to manufacturers overseas that do not abide by the same (carbon emission) standards we do at home.”

“The US has made strides in reducing carbon emissions that other parts of the world have not.”
PolitiFact rated this: True
