1
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:02,137
The Vice President: Well,
thank you so much.

2
00:00:02,135 --> 00:00:03,405
How about another round
of applause

3
00:00:03,403 --> 00:00:06,603
for Secretary Rick Perry, who's 
doing such a tremendous job --

4
00:00:06,606 --> 00:00:09,076
(Applause.)

5
00:00:09,075 --> 00:00:10,045
-- here at the 
Department of Energy.

6
00:00:10,043 --> 00:00:12,243
To Secretary Perry, to
Secretary Ryan Zinke,

7
00:00:12,245 --> 00:00:16,855
to Administrator Scott Pruitt, 
to Chairman Lisa Merkowski,

8
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:19,350
Chairman Lamar
Alexander, Chairman Greg Walden,

9
00:00:19,352 --> 00:00:20,392
Chairman Mike Simpson.

10
00:00:20,387 --> 00:00:23,227
All the distinguished
members of Congress

11
00:00:23,223 --> 00:00:26,793
and honored guests who are
here, welcome to a new era

12
00:00:26,793 --> 00:00:32,363
of American energy, a new era 
in American energy dominance,

13
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:34,805
and welcome
to an era defined

14
00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:39,911
by the pro-energy leadership of
President Donald Trump.

15
00:00:39,906 --> 00:00:47,076
(Applause.)

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,980
We're gathered
here today as further evidence

17
00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:50,212
that President
Trump knows

18
00:00:50,216 --> 00:00:52,616
that affordable, abundant, and
reliable energy

19
00:00:52,619 --> 00:00:54,859
is the foundation of
American prosperity.

20
00:00:54,854 --> 00:00:57,624
In fact, since day one
of this administration,

21
00:00:57,624 --> 00:01:00,894
President Trump has taken
decisive action to unleash

22
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:03,234
the unlimited potential
of America's energy

23
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:05,799
resources, and we're
just getting started.

24
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:08,169
In one of his very first
acts in office, President Trump

25
00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:11,508
approved the
Keystone and Dakota Pipelines,

26
00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:13,444
and the Dakota
Pipeline is up and running,

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,880
and Keystone
isn't far behind.

28
00:01:15,875 --> 00:01:18,115
(Applause.)

29
00:01:18,111 --> 00:01:20,781
And under the leadership 
of this President,

30
00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:24,150
coal mines are actually 
re-opening in America.

31
00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:25,990
Coal miners are going back
to work,

32
00:01:25,985 --> 00:01:29,285
and the war on coal is over.

33
00:01:29,289 --> 00:01:32,189
(Applause.)

34
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:35,032
President Trump's been rolling 
back the Clean Power Plan,

35
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:37,128
he's opening the way for 
more offshore drilling,

36
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:42,170
and President Donald Trump 
sent a message to the world

37
00:01:42,168 --> 00:01:45,338
that we're going to put American 
energy and American jobs first,

38
00:01:45,338 --> 00:01:48,678
when he withdrew 
the United States of America

39
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:50,845
from the Paris Climate Accord.

40
00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:55,784
(Applause.)

41
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:57,652
President
Trump knows that America

42
00:01:57,650 --> 00:02:00,150
needs all our nation's
energy resources to power

43
00:02:00,153 --> 00:02:04,863
our homes, power our economy, 
and really to power our future.

44
00:02:04,858 --> 00:02:07,358
His actions in this energy
week demonstrate

45
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,560
this President's commitment to
putting American jobs,

46
00:02:09,562 --> 00:02:13,262
American families, and
American energy first.

47
00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:17,466
So, with gratitude for his
leadership, unleashing

48
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:23,340
American energy, it is now my 
high honor and distinct privilege

49
00:02:23,343 --> 00:02:24,813
to introduce to you

50
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:27,911
the President of 
the United States of America,

51
00:02:27,914 --> 00:02:30,254
President Donald Trump.

52
00:02:30,250 --> 00:02:49,400
(Hail to the Chief is played)

53
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:58,112
(Applause.)

54
00:02:58,111 --> 00:02:59,081
The President: Thank
you, everybody.

55
00:02:59,078 --> 00:03:00,218
Thank you very much.

56
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:01,713
(Applause.)

57
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:04,154
How are you?

58
00:03:04,150 --> 00:03:06,090
Well, I want to thank
everybody on stage.

59
00:03:06,085 --> 00:03:07,785
They are really
a terrific team.

60
00:03:07,787 --> 00:03:09,857
We have some of the real
winners in the audience,

61
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:12,926
too, that I can tell you
-- some great, great people.

62
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:14,796
I want to thank Vice
President Pence.

63
00:03:14,794 --> 00:03:17,734
As always, he's right
there and he has really

64
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:20,200
been a help to this
administration.

65
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:21,899
We have some big things
happening today,

66
00:03:21,901 --> 00:03:25,201
and we have some very big things
happening over the next month,

67
00:03:25,204 --> 00:03:28,044
and I guess probably I can 
say over the next eight years.

68
00:03:28,041 --> 00:03:29,841
I suspect I can say that.

69
00:03:29,842 --> 00:03:34,512
(Applause.)

70
00:03:34,514 --> 00:03:37,884
It's wonderful to be here with 
so many pioneers and visionaries

71
00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:41,654
from America's energy 
industry -- great industry.

72
00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:44,894
I want to thank the leaders 
of our great energy companies

73
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:48,131
for joining us today and 
for supporting our efforts

74
00:03:48,127 --> 00:03:51,497
to bring true wealth 
and prosperity to our people.

75
00:03:51,497 --> 00:03:53,067
That's true.

76
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:54,806
Come on, give
yourself a hand.

77
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:55,771
(Applause.)

78
00:03:55,768 --> 00:03:57,868
You deserve it.

79
00:03:57,870 --> 00:03:59,010
You deserve it.

80
00:03:59,005 --> 00:04:00,805
You've gone through
eight years of hell,

81
00:04:00,807 --> 00:04:03,077
and actually I could say even
a little bit more than that.

82
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:04,446
You deserve it.

83
00:04:04,444 --> 00:04:07,044
I also want to express our
sincere gratitude

84
00:04:07,046 --> 00:04:10,946
to the labor union leaders and 
members who have joined us today.

85
00:04:10,950 --> 00:04:11,920
Thank you, fellas.

86
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:13,718
Thank you, thank you.

87
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,120
(Applause.)

88
00:04:18,124 --> 00:04:19,864
Your workers
embody the skill,

89
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:23,429
grit and courage that has 
always been the true source

90
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:24,629
of American strength.

91
00:04:24,631 --> 00:04:26,001
They are great people.

92
00:04:25,999 --> 00:04:31,109
They break through rock walls, 
mine the depths of the earth,

93
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:33,574
and reach
through the ocean floor,

94
00:04:33,573 --> 00:04:36,773
to bring every ounce of
energy into our homes

95
00:04:36,776 --> 00:04:39,716
and commerce and
into our lives.

96
00:04:39,712 --> 00:04:41,682
Our nation salutes you.

97
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:44,421
You're brave and you
are great workers.

98
00:04:44,417 --> 00:04:45,287
Thank you very much.

99
00:04:45,284 --> 00:04:45,984
Thank you, fellas.

100
00:04:45,985 --> 00:04:46,655
(Applause.)

101
00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:55,163
Before
turning to the topic at hand,

102
00:04:55,161 --> 00:04:56,861
I want to provide
a brief update

103
00:04:56,863 --> 00:05:00,503
on two crucial votes 
taking place this afternoon

104
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,640
on the House Floor --
very important.

105
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:06,036
These bills are vital to
public safety

106
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:09,209
and national security, 
and I want to thank

107
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:12,378
Chairman Bob Goodlatte 
for his efforts.

108
00:05:12,378 --> 00:05:17,388
Bob has been working very
hard and really for a long time,

109
00:05:17,383 --> 00:05:19,383
but we got it going.

110
00:05:19,385 --> 00:05:23,085
First, the House will be
voting on Kate's Law --

111
00:05:23,089 --> 00:05:25,359
legislation named for Kate
Steinle, who was killed

112
00:05:25,358 --> 00:05:30,168
by an illegal immigrant with
five prior deportations

113
00:05:30,163 --> 00:05:33,463
and lots of bad
things on his record.

114
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:36,736
The second is the No
Sanctuary for Criminals Act,

115
00:05:36,736 --> 00:05:38,806
which blocks federal
grants to cities

116
00:05:38,805 --> 00:05:42,775
that release dangerous criminal
aliens back into the streets,

117
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:46,715
including the
vicious and disgusting

118
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:50,213
and horrible MS-13
gang members.

119
00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:51,786
And we're
getting them out.

120
00:05:51,784 --> 00:05:52,954
We are getting them out.

121
00:05:52,952 --> 00:05:54,922
They're going -- fast.

122
00:05:54,921 --> 00:05:59,591
(Applause.)

123
00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:01,362
General Kelly
and his whole group --

124
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,200
they've gotten rid
of 6,000 so far.

125
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:08,698
We're about 50 percent there, 
and we're actually liberating towns.

126
00:06:08,701 --> 00:06:11,041
Like on long Island,
where I grew up --

127
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:13,407
we're liberating towns.

128
00:06:13,406 --> 00:06:15,306
Those people are so happy
to see our guys,

129
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:19,108
and our guys are a lot tougher
than the MS-13 characters.

130
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:21,682
That I can tell you.

131
00:06:21,681 --> 00:06:22,351
Liberation.

132
00:06:22,348 --> 00:06:23,948
(Applause.)

133
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:25,750
I'm calling
on all lawmakers

134
00:06:25,752 --> 00:06:30,192
to put the safety of American
families first.

135
00:06:30,189 --> 00:06:32,289
And let's pass these bills
through the House,

136
00:06:32,291 --> 00:06:34,891
through the Senate, and send
them to my desk.

137
00:06:34,894 --> 00:06:36,934
I will give you the
fastest approval,

138
00:06:36,929 --> 00:06:39,429
the fastest signature that
you have ever seen.

139
00:06:39,432 --> 00:06:40,102
Right, Mike?

140
00:06:40,099 --> 00:06:43,399
We will get that
signed so fast.

141
00:06:43,402 --> 00:06:45,942
(Applause.)

142
00:06:45,938 --> 00:06:49,238
So, when we get back, the 
first thing I'm going to do

143
00:06:49,242 --> 00:06:50,942
is ask how
did we do on the vote?

144
00:06:50,943 --> 00:06:52,813
I expect good things;
otherwise I probably

145
00:06:52,812 --> 00:06:55,052
wouldn't be talking about
it to be honest with you.

146
00:06:55,047 --> 00:06:56,617
I'd just sort of low-key
it a little bit.

147
00:06:56,616 --> 00:06:57,316
(Laughter.)

148
00:06:57,316 --> 00:06:58,256
I don't like losing.

149
00:06:58,251 --> 00:06:59,421
I don't like losing.

150
00:06:59,418 --> 00:07:00,088
(Laughter.)

151
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:01,786
Neither
do you folks.

152
00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:07,328
Every member of Congress should 
vote to save American lives.

153
00:07:07,326 --> 00:07:09,696
Many great members of
Congress are here with us

154
00:07:09,695 --> 00:07:12,195
this afternoon -- some
great people,

155
00:07:12,198 --> 00:07:13,368
some great, great people.

156
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:15,236
Thank you very much.

157
00:07:15,234 --> 00:07:17,804
Not only are they working
with us on border security,

158
00:07:17,804 --> 00:07:23,844
but they share our desire 
to unleash American energy.

159
00:07:23,843 --> 00:07:26,943
I especially want to thank
Secretary Perry

160
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:29,046
for his tremendous leadership
in this department.

161
00:07:29,048 --> 00:07:31,688
He has really done a
terrific job,

162
00:07:31,684 --> 00:07:34,024
and he's also a cheerleader 
-- he's really a cheerleader.

163
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:35,250
I watched that in Texas.

164
00:07:35,254 --> 00:07:36,894
The thing that I loved
about him --

165
00:07:36,889 --> 00:07:39,729
he was always saying how
great Texas was.

166
00:07:39,725 --> 00:07:42,325
And if you don't say
it, I don't know.

167
00:07:42,328 --> 00:07:43,298
You got to say it, right?

168
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:45,696
And you're doing it
right now with energy.

169
00:07:45,698 --> 00:07:46,728
Secretary Perry: Ain't
bragging if you can do it.

170
00:07:46,732 --> 00:07:47,732
The President:
That's true.

171
00:07:47,733 --> 00:07:50,703
Along with Secretary of
the Interior Ryan Zinke

172
00:07:50,703 --> 00:07:54,143
and EPA Administrator
Scott Pruitt.

173
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:55,640
And we've been through
our battles, Scott.

174
00:07:55,641 --> 00:07:57,011
Not with each other,
with the world.

175
00:07:57,009 --> 00:07:58,749
And now the world is
starting to say,

176
00:07:58,744 --> 00:07:59,684
"I think they're right."

177
00:07:59,679 --> 00:08:00,679
(Laughter.)

178
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,480
They'll find out.

179
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,820
We have no doubt.

180
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:06,055
But all three of them
strongly believe in

181
00:08:06,052 --> 00:08:08,492
putting America first,
which is what I believe in,

182
00:08:08,487 --> 00:08:09,957
which is why
I got elected.

183
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:12,196
It's called Make America
Great Again --

184
00:08:12,191 --> 00:08:15,631
that's what we're doing -- Make
America Great Again.

185
00:08:15,628 --> 00:08:20,238
We're here today to usher in 
a new American energy policy --

186
00:08:20,233 --> 00:08:23,333
one that unlocks
million and millions of jobs

187
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:26,676
and trillions of
dollars in wealth.

188
00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:31,082
For over 40 years, America was 
vulnerable to foreign regimes

189
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:35,317
that used energy
as an economic weapon.

190
00:08:35,314 --> 00:08:39,354
Americans' quality of life
was diminished by the idea

191
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:44,322
that energy resources were too 
scarce to support our people.

192
00:08:44,323 --> 00:08:47,223
We always thought that,
and actually at the time

193
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:48,196
it was right to think.

194
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:50,994
We didn't think we had
this tremendous wealth

195
00:08:50,997 --> 00:08:52,867
under our feet.

196
00:08:52,865 --> 00:08:56,365
Many of us remember the
long gas lines

197
00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:59,109
and the constant claims that
the world was running out

198
00:08:59,105 --> 00:09:01,805
of oil and natural gas.

199
00:09:01,807 --> 00:09:04,947
Americans were told that
our nation could only solve

200
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:08,584
this energy crisis by 
imposing draconian restrictions

201
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:12,351
on energy production.

202
00:09:12,351 --> 00:09:18,021
But we now know that was
all a big, beautiful myth.

203
00:09:18,024 --> 00:09:19,924
It was fake.

204
00:09:19,926 --> 00:09:21,456
Don't we love
that term, "fake"?

205
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:23,800
What we've learned about
fake over the last little

206
00:09:23,796 --> 00:09:28,366
while -- fake news, CNN.

207
00:09:28,367 --> 00:09:29,707
Fake.

208
00:09:29,702 --> 00:09:33,342
(Laughter and Applause.)

209
00:09:33,339 --> 00:09:34,909
Whoops, their camera
just went off.

210
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:36,677
(Laughter.)

211
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:37,876
Okay, you can come back.

212
00:09:37,877 --> 00:09:39,947
I won't say -- I promise
I won't say anything

213
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:41,416
more about you.

214
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:43,284
I see that red light
go off, I say, whoa.

215
00:09:43,282 --> 00:09:50,622
The truth is that we have
near-limitless supplies

216
00:09:50,623 --> 00:09:53,523
of energy in our country.

217
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:55,966
Powered by new innovation
and technology,

218
00:09:55,962 --> 00:10:01,032
we are now on the cusp of 
a true energy revolution.

219
00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:04,373
Our country is blessed with 
extraordinary energy abundance,

220
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:06,510
which we didn't
know of, even five years ago,

221
00:10:06,505 --> 00:10:09,045
and certainly
ten years ago.

222
00:10:09,041 --> 00:10:12,411
We have nearly 100 years'
worth of natural gas

223
00:10:12,411 --> 00:10:17,451
and more than 250 years' worth
of clean, beautiful coal.

224
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:21,020
We are a top producer
of petroleum

225
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:25,490
and the number-one producer
of natural gas.

226
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:28,731
We have so much more than
we ever thought possible.

227
00:10:28,728 --> 00:10:30,728
We are really in
the driving seat.

228
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:32,160
And you know what?

229
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,234
We don't want to let other
countries take away

230
00:10:34,233 --> 00:10:38,903
our sovereignty and tell us
what to do and how to do it.

231
00:10:38,904 --> 00:10:39,774
That's not
going to happen.

232
00:10:39,772 --> 00:10:45,512
(Applause.)

233
00:10:45,511 --> 00:10:47,111
With these incredible resources,

234
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:50,413
my administration will seek
not only American energy

235
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:52,756
independence that we've
been looking for so long,

236
00:10:52,752 --> 00:10:57,192
but American
energy dominance.

237
00:10:57,189 --> 00:10:59,459
And we're going to be an
exporter -- exporter.

238
00:10:59,458 --> 00:11:03,398
(Applause.)

239
00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:05,096
We will be dominant.

240
00:11:05,097 --> 00:11:08,437
We will expot American 
energy all over the world,

241
00:11:08,434 --> 00:11:10,904
all around the globe.

242
00:11:10,903 --> 00:11:14,003
These energy exports will
create countless jobs for

243
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:16,676
our people, and provide
true energy security

244
00:11:16,675 --> 00:11:21,485
to our friends, partners,
and allies all across the globe.

245
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,150
But this full potential
can only be realized when

246
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:27,991
government promotes energy
development -- that's this

247
00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:31,827
guy right here, and he'll
do it better than anybody --

248
00:11:31,824 --> 00:11:34,794
instead of obstructing
it like the Democrats.

249
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:36,264
They obstruct it.

250
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:37,802
But we get through it.

251
00:11:37,797 --> 00:11:39,967
We cannot have
obstruction.

252
00:11:39,965 --> 00:11:43,335
We have to get out and do
our job better and faster

253
00:11:43,335 --> 00:11:47,235
than anybody in the world,
certainly when it comes

254
00:11:47,239 --> 00:11:51,179
to one of our great
assets -- energy.

255
00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:56,647
This vast energy wealth does 
not belong to the government.

256
00:11:56,649 --> 00:12:00,489
It belongs to the people
of the United States of America.

257
00:12:00,486 --> 00:12:06,856
(Applause.)

258
00:12:06,859 --> 00:12:08,129
Yet, for the
past eight years,

259
00:12:08,127 --> 00:12:11,267
the federal government imposed
massive job-killing barriers

260
00:12:11,263 --> 00:12:14,103
to American
energy development.

261
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:17,800
Since my very first day in
office, I have been moving

262
00:12:17,803 --> 00:12:20,803
at record pace to cancel
these regulations

263
00:12:20,806 --> 00:12:25,416
and to eliminate the barriers
to domestic energy production,

264
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:27,311
like never before.

265
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:30,583
Job-killing regulations
are being removed

266
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:34,153
and vital infrastructure
projects are being approved

267
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:37,853
at a level that
they've never seen before.

268
00:12:37,857 --> 00:12:41,227
As you all know, I approved 
the Keystone XL Pipeline

269
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:43,997
and the Dakota
Access Pipeline

270
00:12:43,996 --> 00:12:45,936
in my first week.

271
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:51,141
Thousands of jobs --
tremendous things are happening.

272
00:12:51,137 --> 00:12:54,707
And, by the way, I thought
I'd take a lot of heat.

273
00:12:54,707 --> 00:12:56,307
I didn't take any heat.

274
00:12:56,308 --> 00:12:57,748
I approved them
and that was it.

275
00:12:57,743 --> 00:13:00,113
I figured we'd have
all sorts of protests.

276
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:01,712
We didn't have anything.

277
00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:03,954
But I have to do --
whether it's protesting or not,

278
00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:05,889
I have to
do what's right.

279
00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:08,685
But people celebrate those
two transactions,

280
00:13:08,687 --> 00:13:10,487
as opposed to protesting.

281
00:13:10,489 --> 00:13:13,029
But sometimes you have to
go out and just do it,

282
00:13:13,025 --> 00:13:13,825
and you find out.

283
00:13:13,826 --> 00:13:15,166
Whatever happens, happens.

284
00:13:15,161 --> 00:13:18,361
But you have to be right
for the American people.

285
00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:25,404
(Applause.)

286
00:13:25,404 --> 00:13:26,304
Thank you.

287
00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:28,275
I'm dramatically reducing
restrictions

288
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:30,744
on the development of
natural gas.

289
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:36,253
I cancelled the moratorium
on a new coal leasing --

290
00:13:36,248 --> 00:13:38,588
and you know what was
happening -- the new coal

291
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:42,484
leasing on federal lands, it 
was being so terribly restricted.

292
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:46,658
And now with Ryan and with
a group, it's going to be open,

293
00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:48,999
and the land will be
left in better shape

294
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:50,694
than it is right now.

295
00:13:50,696 --> 00:13:51,936
Is that right?

296
00:13:51,931 --> 00:13:52,761
Better shape.

297
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:55,665
(Applause.)

298
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:58,368
We have finally 
ended the war on coal.

299
00:13:58,370 --> 00:14:01,840
And I am proud to report
that Corsa Coal,

300
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,610
here with us today, just 
opened a brand-new coal mine

301
00:14:05,611 --> 00:14:07,051
in the state of Pennsylvania,

302
00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:09,686
the first one in 
many, many, many years.

303
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:11,052
Corsa, stand up.

304
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:11,950
Come on.

305
00:14:11,951 --> 00:14:13,921
(Applause.)

306
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:15,319
Congratulations.

307
00:14:15,321 --> 00:14:20,331
Congratulations.

308
00:14:20,326 --> 00:14:22,666
Employing a lot of people,
and we are putting

309
00:14:22,661 --> 00:14:26,631
the coal miners back to work
just like I promised --

310
00:14:26,632 --> 00:14:28,732
just like I promised when
I went through Ohio

311
00:14:28,734 --> 00:14:32,574
and West Virginia, Wyoming
and all of the different places.

312
00:14:32,571 --> 00:14:34,241
And I see Bob back there.

313
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,410
Congratulations, Bob.

314
00:14:36,408 --> 00:14:38,448
He's in great
shape, right?

315
00:14:38,444 --> 00:14:39,514
You in good shape, Bob?

316
00:14:39,511 --> 00:14:40,981
Right from the beginning.

317
00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:42,350
Good.

318
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:44,688
You just take care of
yourself, all right?

319
00:14:44,683 --> 00:14:49,023
We're ending intrusive
EPA regulations that kill jobs,

320
00:14:49,021 --> 00:14:51,721
hurt family farmers
and ranchers,

321
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:57,164
and raise the price of energy
so quickly and so substantially.

322
00:14:57,162 --> 00:14:59,602
In order to protect
American jobs,

323
00:14:59,598 --> 00:15:02,998
companies and workers, we've
withdrawn the United States

324
00:15:03,002 --> 00:15:06,972
from the one-sided
Paris Climate Accord.

325
00:15:06,972 --> 00:15:12,312
(Applause.)

326
00:15:12,311 --> 00:15:14,281
And I won't
get into it, but believe me,

327
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,280
that really put this
country at a disadvantage.

328
00:15:17,283 --> 00:15:19,583
Number one, we weren't
playing on the same field.

329
00:15:19,585 --> 00:15:24,185
It kicked in for us, and
it doesn't kick in for others.

330
00:15:24,189 --> 00:15:28,329
The money that we had
to pay was enormous.

331
00:15:28,327 --> 00:15:30,697
It was not even close.

332
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:32,636
And maybe we'll be back
into it someday,

333
00:15:32,631 --> 00:15:34,071
but it will be on better terms.

334
00:15:34,066 --> 00:15:36,206
It will be on fair terms
-- not on terms where

335
00:15:36,201 --> 00:15:38,741
we're the people that
don't know what we're doing.

336
00:15:38,737 --> 00:15:40,007
So, we'll see
what happens.

337
00:15:40,005 --> 00:15:42,505
But I will tell you
we're proud of it.

338
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:45,678
And when I go around,
there are so many people

339
00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:46,808
that say thank you.

340
00:15:46,812 --> 00:15:50,412
You saved the sovereignty
of our country.

341
00:15:50,416 --> 00:15:53,456
You saved our wealth
because we would have

342
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:56,652
a hard time getting to
this newfound wealth.

343
00:15:56,655 --> 00:15:59,455
And that's not going to
happen with our country.

344
00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:04,498
(Applause.)

345
00:16:04,496 --> 00:16:08,266
Today, I am proudly announcing 
six brand-new initiatives

346
00:16:08,267 --> 00:16:13,307
to propel this new era 
of American energy dominance.

347
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:16,175
First, we will begin to
revive and expand our

348
00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:19,775
nuclear energy sector --
which I'm so happy about --

349
00:16:19,778 --> 00:16:22,078
which produces
clean, renewable

350
00:16:22,081 --> 00:16:24,681
and emissions-free energy.

351
00:16:24,683 --> 00:16:28,653
A complete review of 
U.S. nuclear energy policy

352
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:32,754
will help us find new ways 
to revitalize this crucial

353
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:34,028
energy resource.

354
00:16:34,026 --> 00:16:37,066
And I know you're very
excited about that, Rick.

355
00:16:37,062 --> 00:16:40,132
Second, the Department of the 
Treasury will address barriers

356
00:16:40,132 --> 00:16:42,472
to the financing
of highly efficient,

357
00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:46,138
overseas coal
energy plants.

358
00:16:46,138 --> 00:16:49,278
Ukraine already tells us
they need millions and millions

359
00:16:49,274 --> 00:16:51,344
of metric
tons right now.

360
00:16:51,343 --> 00:16:53,983
There are many other
places that need it, too.

361
00:16:53,979 --> 00:16:57,519
And we want to sell it to
them, and to everyone else

362
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,016
all over the
globe who need it.

363
00:17:00,018 --> 00:17:02,388
Third, my administration
has just approved

364
00:17:02,388 --> 00:17:04,888
the construction of a new
petroleum pipeline

365
00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:11,830
to Mexico, which will further
boost American energy exports,

366
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:13,430
and that will
go right under the wall, right?

367
00:17:13,432 --> 00:17:15,702
It's going under, right?

368
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,101
(Laughter and applause.)

369
00:17:18,103 --> 00:17:20,303
Have it go down a little 
deeper in that one section.

370
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:21,905
You know, a
little like this.

371
00:17:21,907 --> 00:17:24,047
Right under the wall.

372
00:17:24,042 --> 00:17:28,212
Fourth, just today, a major 
U.S. company, Sempra Energy,

373
00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:30,453
signed an agreement 
to begin negotiations

374
00:17:30,449 --> 00:17:37,119
for the sale of more American 
natural gas to South Korea.

375
00:17:37,122 --> 00:17:40,692
And, as you know, the
leaders of South Korea

376
00:17:40,692 --> 00:17:43,162
are coming to the White House
today, and we've got a lot

377
00:17:43,162 --> 00:17:44,692
of discussion to do.

378
00:17:44,696 --> 00:17:48,806
But we will also be talking
about them buying energy

379
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:50,841
from the United
States of America,

380
00:17:50,836 --> 00:17:52,906
and I'm sure they'll
like to do it.

381
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:53,905
They need it.

382
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:55,136
Thank you.

383
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:58,710
(Applause.)

384
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:00,780
Fifth, the United States 
Department of Energy

385
00:18:00,779 --> 00:18:02,679
is announcing
today that it will approve

386
00:18:02,681 --> 00:18:04,851
two long-term applications
to export

387
00:18:04,850 --> 00:18:10,190
additional natural gas from 
the Lake Charles LNG terminal

388
00:18:10,189 --> 00:18:11,119
in Louisiana.

389
00:18:11,123 --> 00:18:12,193
It's going to
be a big deal.

390
00:18:12,191 --> 00:18:14,091
It's a great announcement.

391
00:18:14,092 --> 00:18:16,392
Finally, in order to
unlock more energy

392
00:18:16,395 --> 00:18:19,635
from the 94 percent of
offshore land closed

393
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:23,401
to development, under the
previous administration,

394
00:18:23,402 --> 00:18:26,742
so much of our land was
closed to development.

395
00:18:26,738 --> 00:18:30,438
We're opening it up, the right 
areas, but we're opening it up --

396
00:18:30,442 --> 00:18:36,352
we're creating a new offshore 
oil and gas leasing program.

397
00:18:36,348 --> 00:18:40,548
America will be allowed
to access the vast energy wealth

398
00:18:40,552 --> 00:18:43,352
located right
off our shores.

399
00:18:43,355 --> 00:18:46,895
And this is all just the
beginning -- believe me.

400
00:18:46,892 --> 00:18:52,562
The golden era of American
energy is now underway.

401
00:18:52,564 --> 00:18:55,564
And I'll go a step further,

402
00:18:55,567 --> 00:19:00,777
The golden era of America 
is now underway.

403
00:19:00,772 --> 00:19:01,912
Believe me.

404
00:19:01,907 --> 00:19:07,647
(Applause.)

405
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:09,346
And you're all going 
to be a part of it

406
00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:11,518
in creating this 
exciting new future.

407
00:19:11,517 --> 00:19:14,417
We will bring new
opportunity to the heartland,

408
00:19:14,419 --> 00:19:16,889
new prosperity
to our inner cities,

409
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:20,429
and new infrastructure all
across our nation.

410
00:19:20,425 --> 00:19:24,125
When it comes to the
future of America's energy needs,

411
00:19:24,129 --> 00:19:28,769
we will find it, we will dream 
it, and we will build it.

412
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,537
American energy will power
our ships,

413
00:19:31,537 --> 00:19:34,007
our planes and our cities.

414
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:37,676
American hands will bend
the steel and pour the concrete

415
00:19:37,676 --> 00:19:40,476
that brings this
energy into our homes

416
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:46,449
and that exports this
incredible, newfound energy

417
00:19:46,451 --> 00:19:48,321
all around the world.

418
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:54,090
And American grit will
ensure that what we dream,

419
00:19:54,092 --> 00:19:59,662
and what we build, will
truly be second to none.

420
00:19:59,665 --> 00:20:02,535
We will be number one
again all the way.

421
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:05,234
We're going to make
America great again.

422
00:20:05,237 --> 00:20:08,637
Thank you, God bless you,
and God bless America.

423
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,480
Thank you.

424
00:20:10,475 --> 00:20:12,245
(Applause.)
