Two small business owners said Thursday they remain concerned about high gas prices, arguing the Biden administration's push for more Venezuelan oil is hurting their wallets. "It's very frustrating as an American citizen," 1918 Catering co-founder and CEO Jason Brown said on "Fox & Friends First" Thursday. "It's another example of how the rich get richer.

We see now how they're actually working together in conjunction with now releasing the barrels and with the prices going up."

Big Easy Construction owner Joe Sobol slammed Biden's energy policies during the segment, citing his history of attacking the fossil fuel industry since day one. "As we saw on day one, the first thing [Biden] did was attack the oil industry, canceling the Keystone Pipeline…" he said.   "We were self-sufficient not just two years ago.

Prices were at $2 [per gallon] or less. Every time it goes up, my vehicles on the street, that's $150 per week in gas," he added.
