00:00:00
to be here thank you all for being here
00:00:03
I'm also thrilled to work for president
00:00:06
Donald J
00:00:11
Trump and I can breathe I don't have a
00:00:14
tie on today um I've worn a tie more in
00:00:18
the last two or three weeks than I have
00:00:19
in my whole life and I feel liberated
00:00:21
right now when I'm on TV my mom doesn't
00:00:25
recognize me in a tie someone looked
00:00:28
like you but it wasn't you
00:00:30
so who am I like I I'm an passionate guy
00:00:34
about energy from a kid in high school I
00:00:37
was passionate about energy sources
00:00:39
energy technology I've spent after
00:00:42
schooling my entire career as an
00:00:45
entrepreneur in energy
00:00:48
why it's
00:00:52
energizing and also it's what controls
00:00:56
the limits in what's possible in our
00:00:58
lives not just us but everyone around
00:01:02
the world we had 30-year global life
00:01:06
expectancy at Birth throughout all of
00:01:07
human history all the way up to less
00:01:10
than 200 years ago today it's 73 years
00:01:14
from 30 to
00:01:16
703 two things catalyze that change the
00:01:20
growth of human Liberty bottomup social
00:01:23
organization what we're all passionate
00:01:25
about and the explosion in available
00:01:28
energy from Hydro carbons these two
00:01:31
things just transformed The Human
00:01:34
Condition I am very not everyone in the
00:01:37
world has access to the liberty and
00:01:39
energy we have but in our own country
00:01:43
both of those con Concepts have been
00:01:45
under great threat in the last four
00:01:48
years maybe that's why my political
00:01:51
career started Liberty under threat
00:01:54
energy resources under threat president
00:01:57
Trump was elected partially on this very
00:02:01
issue and he was elected to get rid of
00:02:04
the nonsense and bring back Common
00:02:09
Sense
00:02:13
this what do I mean by nonsense look at
00:02:16
the last four years what have we seen
00:02:19
every possible new barrier implemented
00:02:22
to make it harder to produce oil and gas
00:02:25
no that doesn't change the demand for
00:02:27
oil and gas you just make it harder to
00:02:29
produce what do you get you get less
00:02:32
Supply and higher
00:02:35
prices we we've seen 30% rise in
00:02:39
electricity prices just in the previous
00:02:42
administration during President Trump's
00:02:44
first term almost no change in national
00:02:48
average electricity prices all of a
00:02:50
sudden a huge rise in electricity prices
00:02:52
rising gasoline riseing Energy across
00:02:54
the board what so what was the response
00:02:57
to that well the United States is the
00:03:00
dominant producer of natural gas and we
00:03:02
have a booming industry exporting
00:03:04
natural gas to our allies around the
00:03:06
world well let's stop that let's let's
00:03:09
ban new permitting of LNG export
00:03:11
terminals that's just in and then to add
00:03:13
insult to injury a a whole bunch of
00:03:17
regulations were rolled out to limit
00:03:19
your ability to buy the appliances you
00:03:22
want you may want to buy that Appliance
00:03:24
but the new Appliance you're allowed to
00:03:26
buy buy costs more and works worse my
00:03:30
dishwasher has to run for two hours now
00:03:33
and at the end I got to clean the dishes
00:03:36
like my clothes dryer works at half the
00:03:39
power in theory this is saving energy it
00:03:42
just takes twice as long to dry our
00:03:44
clothes like these are just nonsensical
00:03:47
things that have hurt people's lives and
00:03:49
driven prices up president Trump came in
00:03:53
and he is strong and he is bold and he
00:03:55
gets energy his goal was we're going to
00:03:58
bring back common sense you've it's so
00:04:02
what's the plan drill baby drill and
00:04:05
build baby
00:04:11
build to produce more energy you need
00:04:14
the infrastructure to move that energy
00:04:16
to customers think of the consumers in
00:04:18
New England you know they they don't
00:04:20
have enough access for natural gas there
00:04:22
and they have sky-high electricity
00:04:23
prices and you don't get Industries
00:04:25
placed in those States every state
00:04:27
that's driven up the price of energy it
00:04:30
not only impoverishes their citizens but
00:04:32
it makes it so businesses don't want to
00:04:34
locate there those businesses are going
00:04:36
to locate in another state and frankly
00:04:38
over the last four years a lot of those
00:04:40
businesses are going to locate in
00:04:41
another country we don't want that we
00:04:45
want things build in America we want
00:04:47
those jobs in America which means we
00:04:49
need that energy produced and consumed
00:04:51
in
00:04:52
America thank you thank
00:04:57
you we're on the cusp of a brand new
00:05:01
industry an energy intensive
00:05:04
manufacturing industry called artificial
00:05:07
intelligence this is an industry we want
00:05:09
to lead in this is American Technology
00:05:12
it matters not just for the efficiency
00:05:14
of our economy it matters from the
00:05:16
enormous benefits that will come in drug
00:05:20
Discovery in product manufacturing and
00:05:22
frankly in driving cost down and it also
00:05:25
matters for National Security do we want
00:05:27
China to lead the way in a I I would
00:05:31
feel naked if their if their AI was
00:05:34
better than ours what does that say
00:05:36
about the balance of power and the
00:05:37
security of our country we need to lead
00:05:41
and win the competition in Ai and the
00:05:44
only way to do that is to have
00:05:46
tremendous energy production that we can
00:05:49
both grow our electricity production
00:05:51
which is what AI runs on but stop the
00:05:54
price Rises they had almost no demand
00:05:57
growth and they raised prices this
00:06:00
Administration needs to do the opposite
00:06:02
we need to have demand growth and Supply
00:06:04
growth and not raising prices everything
00:06:06
we can do to push prices down that's how
00:06:09
we can better human
00:06:13
lives better opportunities for American
00:06:16
lower cost of living more industries
00:06:19
that want to invest and build things
00:06:21
here in the United States that is This
00:06:24
president's agenda and if as I dig into
00:06:27
my job and my colleagues and other
00:06:29
cabinet positions there is an immense
00:06:32
amount of barriers to making things
00:06:34
happen our country it's become a place
00:06:37
where it's very hard to build something
00:06:40
and unfortunately it's very easy to stop
00:06:43
something one regulation one protest
00:06:46
there is so our our government is
00:06:48
littered with inefficiency and and traps
00:06:52
that can be exploited to prevent people
00:06:54
from building things so the task before
00:06:57
us is Big it's not modest it's not
00:06:59
simple but we have a committed team who
00:07:02
are working every day to get these
00:07:06
barriers out of the way let America grow
00:07:08
our energy production build our energy
00:07:11
infrastructure bring jobs and investment
00:07:14
back to our country raise American wages
00:07:16
and lower American
00:07:25
prices and and back to those appliances
00:07:29
who who who hears in favor of more
00:07:31
expensive lower performing appliances
00:07:34
how many votes do we have for that
00:07:37
one very president Trump so under this
00:07:41
Administration in my department and
00:07:43
actually in many other departments in
00:07:45
the Trump Administration we are working
00:07:48
feverishly to remove these regulations
00:07:51
to change to free American Producers to
00:07:54
build the appliances people want to buy
00:08:02
we have a factory in the Southeastern
00:08:04
part of the United States that employs
00:08:06
hundreds of people to build a
00:08:08
particularly popular product these days
00:08:11
it is a tankless water heater powered by
00:08:14
natural gas it's among the cheapest ways
00:08:17
to heat your water takes the least space
00:08:20
lower cost Burns natural gas our lowest
00:08:23
cost thermal energy we can have in our
00:08:25
houses it's a win on every box that's
00:08:28
why they've been selling like hot cakes
00:08:30
and are an emerging product so what did
00:08:33
the Biden Administration do they see a
00:08:34
hot product all Americans are voting yes
00:08:37
they passed a regulation that would make
00:08:40
that product illegal and that company
00:08:43
would be dead in fact that company is
00:08:45
very fearful for the jobs and
00:08:47
opportunity of those workers now that's
00:08:49
hundreds of American jobs I care
00:08:51
personally about that but it's much
00:08:52
bigger than that it's all Americans
00:08:55
would not have available to them a
00:08:57
lowcost efficient option
00:09:00
to have hot water for their showers and
00:09:02
their washing machines and everything
00:09:04
else we use it for that's just
00:09:06
completely nuts but again president
00:09:09
Trump fix that problem fix that problem
00:09:11
we found a fix and we are fixing that
00:09:18
problem that factory staying open those
00:09:21
products are going to be built in mass
00:09:22
and they're going to be shipped all
00:09:23
across the country for the American
00:09:25
consumers that want to buy them we're
00:09:26
not going to tell you what to buy we
00:09:28
want to enable you to buy what you want
00:09:31
to buy that's that crazy Freedom
00:09:37
idea I'll end with saying America's back
00:09:43
baby thank you all
