The American public elected President Trump to ensure that we were heeding their economic concerns, promoting consumer freedom to help unleash a golden age of American prosperity. All these different agencies, including EPA, have so many powers, equities that allow us to deliver on that Trump mandate. So for us here at EPA, our core mission is protecting human health and the environment. We want to power the great American comeback, which means as President Trump has spoken about clean air land and water for all Americans, but we can also help unleash energy dominance, make America the AI cap of the world, advance cooperative federalism, permitting reform, bringing back American auto jobs. These are also all demands that the American public voted for.

Exciting day in Wyoming. The first rare earth element mine to open in the United States in 70 years. And the first coal mine to open in Wyoming in 50 years. What we're surrounded by right here is this big beautiful clean coal. This is the largest source of global electricity and has been for over a century. We want to see the coal production grow in our country. This particular mine, and I'm sure there'll be more, also is going to bring rare earth element production. Let's celebrate American hydrocarbon production and the renaissance we're entering. President Trump's re-election transforms the American energy landscape and ends the simply wrong-headed, foolish, and destructive war on hydrocarbons and domestic energy production. That's over. You're going to see a lot more of this. Big, beautiful clean coal. God bless America. God bless energy.

The whole administration, led by President Trump, is all in on keeping gasoline prices down, diesel prices down. We've got a little bit longer and tougher road to hoe and electricity, but we're going to deliver the same thing there. Huge increase in electricity production, but not the huge price rises we've seen in the last few years. Okay. Energy prices matter.

So when do you expect, are we going to see in the second half of the year, more sunlight on the president's energy agenda? Absolutely. Oh, it'll unfold throughout this year. The first step is the one big beautiful bill. There's a lot of key things for energy in there. It's some permitting reform, it's some mandated lease sales, things that we should be doing in law, but the Biden administration stopped. And heck, another huge thing I can't help but mention, about a trillion dollars, more than a trillion dollars of subsidies were slated under current law over the next decade. Over a trillion dollars. And what do we get in benefit? We get more expensive electricity and forced to buy an EV and you can't choose the car of your choice. So the one big beautiful bill is key in ending the EV mandate, getting rid of most over a half a trillion dollars of subsidies that are paid for by American taxpayers, while at the same time, reducing upward prices on energy.

We're going to do our part at EPA and you're also seeing this as part of the debate in Congress to get President Trump's one big beautiful bill over the finish line because while there's a lot of focus on tax cuts and securing the border and interior enforcement, there's a lot in the energy and environmental space which includes refilling the strategic petroleum reserve, suspending a natural gas tax for 10 years, more oil and gas leases including more coal leases on federal land and more, and permitting reform is part of that too. So there's a lot that can be done by agencies, there's also more that can be done by Congress, all of this helps fulfill the agenda. And I understand you're EPA, you're not the energy secretary, and I know that you follow all this stuff because you have a very complex job, but we saw the president spend a lot of time in the Middle East and making a lot of deals. Does that come into play as far as the goal of reducing energy prices? Is that part of the equation? Is getting these countries more favorable leverage over these countries and better relationships with these countries will lead to cheaper energy prices throughout the country? Because that really is such a crucial part of I think what his agenda has been, which is the lower cost for the American people. When President Trump is communicating abroad with nations or meeting with foreign leaders from Washington DC or traveling overseas, such as his trip to the Middle East, there is a very robust America first agenda that he goes with to try to deliver on. And certainly energy policy is something that is top of mind, exporting American energy production or looking at what is produced on farms and so much more. There's a lot of opportunity for the American economy for us to be net exporters of these resources. And I would argue that it's better for our environment because we tap into our energy supply safer than so many other countries around the world. It's important for our national security. It's better for our economy. Certainly when the president goes to the Middle East and he has a robust America first agenda, he's thinking about American energy and he's thinking about American interest as it relates to American energy. So whether he's here at home or abroad, it's certainly something I've heard get brought up a lot. And there have been many meetings with the president in the White House, in the Oval Office, at the Resolute Desk, where he's asking tough questions. He's making big demands on these cabinet secretaries, myself included, to make sure that we're fulfilling this Trump mandate. And I'm glad that he's holding us to that standard of delivering.

We just had earnings from these major companies and they're putting hundreds of billions of dollars into this not I mean every time someone says this trade is over. This is not happening. I was in Louisiana this year I think that you have all this natural gas and guess what? You've got these large companies that are coming to Louisiana rock data centers, right? That's the connection cheap cheap energy to fuel the what's gonna dominate the future which is AI and it's the data centers And we've been re it's that's the been to read the message from the market the last two weeks has been that all of the things The next page of American exceptionalism with technology AI data centers cheap energy to power it We have it all we have it all and we're starting to see if these deals are big, you know If you don't live in Louisiana, you may not be hearing about this If you don't live in other parts of the country, you may not be hearing about it So we're already seeing evidence of it right now

All energy that's affordable, reliable, and secure is a part of the Trump administration. And nuclear absolutely falls in that category. Here's a great nuclear plant in southwestern Michigan that's supplied nearly a gigawatt of power for decades. And again, I think was just foolishly closed and shut down during the Biden administration. But that plant should be back online hopefully by the end of this year. And if not the end of this year, very early next year. Huge benefits.

In just over one month, illegal voter crossings have plummeted by numbers that nobody's actually ever seen before -- much more than 100 percent. And we've unleashed American energy at levels that will soon be reported, but we think we're going to get it going very quickly. We have incredible people on the energy front. I think we have really great people on every front. I'll let you know if they're not good, but I think they really are. And we're fighting every day to get the prices down. The inflation is stopping slowly, but part of the reason it's stopping is because of high interest rates and other problems that we inherited. But we have to get the prices down, not the inflation down, the prices of eggs and various other things. Eggs are a disaster. The Secretary of Agriculture is going to be showing you a chart that's actually mind-boggling what's happened, how low they were with us and how high they are now. But I think we can do something about it, Madam Secretary, and I think you're going to do a fantastic job in that position.

Like right now on Nantucket, they have closed the beaches because they don't want people getting impaled by shards of fiberglass. - Pieces of broken wind turbine in the water and on the beach, Nantucket's harbor master shutting down all self-facing beaches. - Each one of these blades is longer than a football field. And if they are snapping in half and sending shards of debris in all directions, that is extremely unsafe. People should really start asking themselves, what if there's a hurricane? What happens then? Do many blades break? What happens? And who's responsible for that? There are multiple projects planned of hundreds of turbines combined. Hundreds of turbines. There's probably gonna be like a thousand turbines in that block with blades longer than a football field.

- There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. - I am committed to passing a Green New Deal and finally putting an end to fracking once and for all. - If they fail to act as President of the United States, I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal. - I am offering a Green New Deal that has been described as one of the most aggressive and progressive. - Always gonna bring the Green New Deal up for a vote. - Yeah, I will vote for it. It is a resolution. I believe that the underlying principles behind it are sound and important. - What is the solution for voters who have jobs and interests in the fossil fuel industry? - Giving the workers an ability to transition into the jobs of the future. - Can we afford it? - Of course we can afford it. It's not about a cost.

She wants to get rid of ice, it's not gonna happen. She wants to ban fracking, as you know. She wants to ban anything having to do with fossil fuel. She imposed the natural gas export ban and is now shutting down power plants and destroying our electric grid with her crazy green new scam regulations. Energy prices are already up this year. 50% in Nevada under, in Nevada under Kamala, they're going higher, they're gonna be, maybe double within a year from now. She lost more, and here's to me the worst, because she said no, she'd like to keep everything just the way it is. This is to me the worst. She lost 325,000 migrant children. They're gone. No, but you can't understand. Think of it, 325,000 children are missing. Most of them are dead, in my opinion. But, and she said all of them, they might be all. They're either sex slaves, slaves, dead, or just missing. But many of them are dead, and she said, "I wanna keep it just like we've had it." There's never been a travesty like that. Think of that. Think of that in relation to wars and everything else. There's never been anything like that. They're innocent kids. Their parents will never see them again, most likely, most of them. And she has the 13,000 illegal alien convicted murderers is roaming free in our country.

businesses. As president, my policy will be to maximum -- it's going to be maximum energy production to achieve low prices and make the United States into a -- really a manufacturing -- I want to be a manufacturing powerhouse. We're going to be more powerful than ever before. You know, AI is a new industry and it's a very big one, and I don't know, it's got some interesting difficulties, but China wants it and other countries want it and we've got to be there. But you know, in order to be able to compete with China or compete even with anybody with AI, we have to make double the electricity that we have right now. So take all of the electricity we have. We have to make -- we have to double it up just for that one very big industry. It could be very big, but it needs unbelievable amounts of electricity. I will cut the price of energy and electricity in half. Ready? 12 months from January 20th to take office on January 20th, your electric bill, including cars, air conditioners, heating, everything, your total electric bill will be 50, 5-0, 50% less. We're going to cut it in half. And we have it. We have the power to do it because we have it. We don't need ships. We don't need long train. We have everything. We're going to have to build some pipelines because we can't transport it. But that's easy to do, and that's safer than trains. But we're going to get this done, and you're going to have -- within one year -- think of it -- within one year, you're going to have electric bills and energy bills and your gasoline for your car is going to be 5-0, 50% cheaper than it is right now. That's a big thing. That's a big thing. So we will seriously expedite our environmental approvals. I will expedite them. If I have to, I'll just approve them, and approve them, because they use that -- you know, they use the environmental approvals to stop progress and quickly double our electricity capacity, and we're going to have it doubled and tripled. This will drive down inflation and make America and Michigan the best place on Earth to build a factory.

I'm running on a plan to cut your energy prices in half. Within 12 months of taking office, your energy prices are going to fall at levels that you've never seen before. Under Kamala Harris, energy prices have risen 20, 30, 40, and even 50 percent, and they're going a lot higher. They're going to be crushing your family just as they have been for this three and a half year period. Under the Trump administration, we will achieve the number one lowest energy cost anywhere on earth.

I told the auto worker, I went to Michigan, which is under siege, and they're going to be losing all their jobs, all their auto jobs, everyone's jumping up, oh, we got a new contract. Those companies are all going to go down the tubes, bankrupt, yes, but they're going to go down the tubes. There won't be auto jobs because they didn't cover the fact that all cars have to be electric. And I'm telling you, if they don't do it right, if they don't do it fast and right, you're not going to have any semblance of automobile manufacturing in this country. I did very well with Mexico, I like the president very much, he's a friend of mine, but they took 32% of our automobile manufacturing out of our country and brought it into Mexico, and that's a sin. Canada took a lot, and we signed a deal, which is very good for Texas, the USMCA, we got NAFTA, that was a big thing, that was a big jolt for our country. We went from the worst deal ever done, ever, NAFTA, one of the greatest rip-off deals, and now we're in the USMCA, and if you look, that's Mexico, Canada, and if you look right now, they're meeting with Biden, they want to renegotiate the terms of the deal, and Louis, I would say go there, as an ex-Congressman who is very tough and successful, tell him you better not do that deal. They want to renegotiate the terms, it's always nice though when you make a deal, I have a lot of deals where they're all trying to renegotiate him now with Biden. The sad part is they'll probably be able to do that, but don't worry, we'll change him back very fast, we'll change him back. With your vote, we will fire Crooked Joe Biden, and we will reclaim America's destiny as the greatest energy superpower on the face of the earth. We were there, we were there, we were going to be there in a very short, within a year, they would have been saying, "Man, what the hell is going on?"
