On day one I directed every member of my cabinet to -- and by the way, Pete Hegseth got approved. And Kristi Noem just got approved, Governor, she's going to keep it -- she's a tough one. She's a tough one. And she's going to do a great job. On day one I directed every member of my cabinet to marshal all powers at their disposal to defeat inflation and bring down the cost of daily life. We want to bring prices down too high. They went way up. They didn't come down. I imposed a federal hiring freeze, a federal regulation freeze, a foreign aid freeze. Oh, that's a nice look. And I created the new Department of Government Efficiency, and we're going to have a lot of good people. Elon -- we're going to get Elon Musk to get involved in that little bit. He already is. People like him. I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful green new scam. Wasn't the environment supposed to eat us up like in 12 years, but that was like 13 years ago. What happened? We're still here. We're still here. Remember, we have 12 years to live, remember that? Done by somebody that never even took a course on the environment, ARC+3, do you remember those two? They were telling us about the environment, ARC+3. This action alone will save hundreds of billions of dollars of American taxpayers' money. I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord, and I canceled the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate, keeping my sacred pledge to America's auto workers. Boy, did we get a big vote with the auto workers out there. And the Teamsters, any Teamsters in the room? We got a tremendous vote from the Teamsters. Thank you. They're pointing like one guy over. But they voted for us in the millions, so we have -- we had a lot of Teamsters voting for us. They withdrew from the World Health Organization, where we paid $500 million a year, and China paid $39 million a year, despite a much larger population.

If America is going to dominate the world in manufacturing once again, as it did when I was running things, you remember when they used to say you can't have manufacturing jobs in our country anymore? I said, really? Why? And we created hundreds of thousands of them. But we must be the most affordable energy and electricity place anywhere on the planet. We have to have affordable energy. Right now, we have energy that's weak, substandard, and unaffordable. It's made by the wind. The windmills rust. They rot. They kill the birds. It's the most expensive energy there is, and we have other things that are also no good. It's called the Green New Deal. I call it the Green New Hoax. One of the reasons manufacturing jobs were flooding back into the United States when I was president was that we dramatically reduced energy costs. Really, crooked Joe Biden sacrificed this tremendous economic advantage on the altar of the Green New Deal, perhaps because he was bribed by communist China or because communist China knows all of the money that they've paid him. We have a Manchurian candidate. That's what he is. He's a Manchurian candidate. They know everything about him, and he's scared, stiff. He won't do a thing. I took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China, and Joe Biden's afraid to even talk to him. Biden's war on American energy has sent prices soaring, and his latest actions will make it catastrophically worse. It's going to be bad at a level that we've never seen. This will be so bad. Under Biden's newly proposed power plant regulations, most natural gas and coal plants will be forced to shut down. By the way, they tried that in Germany, and now they're going back and building coal plants all over the place because they've destroyed Germany. They have no energy, so Germany now is building a coal plant every two weeks, and China is building a coal plant every week, every single week. They're putting up a new coal plant, and we're playing games with the wind. This is terrible what's happening to our country. There is nothing to replace our energy at this time, not even close. It's very expensive, and it's very weak. It doesn't have the power to power up those big plants that you see. At the same time as Biden is shutting down existing power plants, he also wants to force hundreds of millions of Americans into ultra-expensive electric vehicles. It costs twice as much as what you have, and what you have is better, and it goes a lot longer, and it's a lot easier to fill up. We have liquid gold under our feet at a level that no other country has, but they'll strain the grid to the breaking point. It already is at a breaking point. If you look at California, it's got brownouts and blackouts every single day. People can't turn on their air conditions, and it'll drive electricity prices into the stratosphere. If Biden's policies go forward, our electricity costs will be the highest on Earth. They're already very close. With shortages, blackouts, and crippling inflation, U.S. manufacturing will be dead, absolutely dead, and China will be laughing all the way to the bank. They will end up controlling the world. My plan is the exact opposite. As president, I will set a national goal of ensuring that America has the number one lowest cost of energy of any industrial country anywhere on Earth. I want to be number one. We were energy independent just three years ago, and now we're begging Venezuela for their oil, and yet we have many times more than any other country. There's no country -- Saudi Arabia, Russia -- nobody -- no country has what we have. We will develop the liquid goal that is right under our feet, including American oil and natural gas. And we will also embrace nuclear, clean coal, hydropower, which is fantastic, and every other form of affordable energy to get it done. We will not only match China, we will be cheaper than China by a lot, and more energy will mean lower inflation, and it'll mean more jobs. I will cancel Biden's ruinous power plant rule, terminate his electric vehicle mandate. If you want to buy an electric car, that's fine, but you're going to be able to buy every other form of car also, and unleash domestic energy production like never before. But just think of it, energy independence three years ago, energy dominance was going to follow very shortly. We're going to pay off our debt, we're going to lower taxes for everybody. And they ended that, immediately ended it. First day they ended it. I will fully modernize the electric grid to prepare it for the next 100 years, implement rapid approvals for energy projects, and greenlight the construction of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of brand new, beautiful power plants that actually work. This will pave the way for an enormous growth in American wealth in the future. Every manufacturing plant, every data center, every semiconductor facility and assembly line will want to be built in America. They're all going to want to be in America, so we're going to have the lowest cost of energy. It's a big factor. This will be the place where the cost of energy is lower than any place else on Earth, where the economy is stronger than any place else on Earth, and where the workers are the best, brightest, and most talented anywhere in the world. I want to thank you very much. We cannot let this man, who is diminished mentally and physically, but much worse mentally, we cannot let him tell us what to do with our country. He has no clue. He can't put two sentences together. We have to make America great again, and we can't do it with a man who is severely diminished. Thank you very much.
