<p>Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo argued on Sunday that President Joe Biden shouldn&#8217;t be surprised by the energy crisis his leftist Democrat policies have created.</p>
<p>Pompeo shared the remarks during a Sunday <a href="https://catsroundtable.com/former-sec-of-state-mike-pompeo-world-challenges-on-many-fronts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on &#8220;The Cat&#8217;s Roundtable&#8221; radio program.</p>
<p>&#8220;You could have predicted this. The moment you said we&#8217;re going to shut down American energy, we&#8217;re not going to have leases – not only in Alaska but on federal land – the moment you made it somehow feel icky to be a participant in the fossil fuels supply chain you knew these prices were going to come,&#8221; Pompeo said. &#8220;It will have enormous implications for the American economy.&#8221;</p>
<p>The former secretary of state added that the nation&#8217;s energy problems are due to political decisions rather than a lack of oil or other resources.</p>
<p>&#8220;The American leadership, Joe Biden, made the political decision to shut in American energy when we were nearly energy independent and he said don&#8217;t loan to them, don&#8217;t buy their stock, don&#8217;t bank for them, don&#8217;t talk to them, don&#8217;t deal with them,&#8221; Pompeo told host John Catsimatidis. &#8220;He shut them all in, as if the internal combustion engine was no longer necessary.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pompeo warned that the shortages Americans  are currently facing could extend far beyond the current baby formula shortages impacting many parts of the nation.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a real tragedy and we&#8217;re very likely to face shortages that go far beyond just the one we&#8217;re seeing today in baby formula,&#8221; he noted.</p>
<p>Pompeo may no longer be the nation&#8217;s secretary of state but has remained an important figure in American politics. The State Department is paying millions of dollars every month both Pompeo and a former top aide after uncovering “serious and credible” threats from Iran, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-paying-millions-every-month-to-protect-mike-pompeo-aide-from-iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in March.</p>
<p>The State Department revealed in a report to Congress dated February 14 that the U.S. government is paying more than $2 million a month to provide security to Pompeo and former Iran envoy Brian Hook, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-mike-pompeo-iran-middle-east-795eb3faae6dc4803faafa3ee6615f4a">Associated Press</a>. Both men were heavily involved in former President Donald Trump’s hardline pressure campaign against the Iranian regime.</p>
<p>Pompeo received 180 days of security after leaving office under federal protocols, and that security detail has been renewed in 60-day increments since by Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken also signed off on a special security detail for Hook.</p>
<p>In addition to dealing with ongoing threats, Pompeo has also launched a conservative political action group since leaving office to support Republican candidates. The <a href="https://cavpac.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champion American Values PAC</a> (CAV PAC) has endorsed several candidates during the midterms, most recently <a href="https://twitter.com/cav_pac/status/1524864984332877852" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including</a> Tyler Kistner in his battle for the 2nd District of Minnesota.</p>
<p>Pompeo has also been rumored as a potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate, though he has made no formal announcement. His ongoing support of fellow Republicans, high-profile speaking engagements, and a recent book deal have led to increased speculation regarding whether he is planning a potential White House run.</p>
<p>Like some other potential Republican candidates, Pompeo has been hesitant to speak out regarding a potential run as he and others wait to discover whether former President Donald Trump will make a comeback bid for the Oval Office in 2024.</p>
