From Oprah to the Oval Office, Mexico's H20 Heist plus Trump's War on the Green New Deal · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that have said, how
0:03
Speaker 1: did Donald Trump get the idea to do what he's
0:07
Speaker 1: doing with tariffs and the American First policy? There are
0:11
Speaker 1: many that are acting like this as a chaotic plan,
0:14
Speaker 1: a dysfunctional plan, a plan that is radical or extreme
0:19
Speaker 1: that should never have happened, and it happened on a
0:22
Speaker 1: whim from Donald Trump. There isn't a bigger lie than
0:26
Speaker 1: that coming out of the conversation with tariffs. How do
0:30
Speaker 1: we know that this is a belief that Donald Trump
0:32
Speaker 1: has had for quite some time. Well, you can look
0:35
Speaker 1: back to nineteen eighty eight and President Donald Trump was
0:39
Speaker 1: on the Oprah Winfrey Show talking about countries ripping America
0:45
Speaker 1: off in the trade war. She also asked him about
0:50
Speaker 1: running for office, and he said something else that was
0:54
Speaker 1: obviously very clear. He said he didn't think he was
0:57
Speaker 1: going to run for office, and US things got really,
1:01
Speaker 1: really really bad. Those two things came to fruition. And
1:07
Speaker 1: this is all the way back in nineteen eighty eight.
1:11
Speaker 1: So if you think Donald Trump is messing around, he's not.
1:15
Speaker 1: He's believed it and been planning it for more than
1:18
Speaker 1: thirty years.
1:19
Speaker 2: Last year, criticizing US foreign policy, what would you do differently. Donald,
1:23
Speaker 2: I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies, the enemies
1:26
Speaker 2: you can't talk to so easily. I'd make our allies
1:28
Speaker 2: pay their fair share. We're a debtor nation. Something's going
1:31
Speaker 2: to happen over the next number of years with this
1:33
Speaker 2: country because you can't keep going on losing two hundred billion.
1:36
Speaker 2: And yet we let Japan come in and dump everything
1:38
Speaker 2: right into our markets and everything. It's not free trade.
1:41
Speaker 2: If you ever go to Japan right now and try
1:43
Speaker 2: to sell something, forget about it. Open, just forget about it.
1:45
Speaker 2: It's almost impossible. They don't have laws against it. They
1:48
Speaker 2: just make it impossible. They come over here, they sell
1:50
Speaker 2: their cars, their VCRs. They knock the hell out of
1:53
Speaker 2: our companies. And hey, I have tremendous respect for the
1:55
Speaker 2: Japanese people. I mean, you can respect somebody that's beating
1:58
Speaker 2: the hell out of you, But they are beating the
2:00
Speaker 2: hell out of this country Kuwait. They live like kings.
2:02
Speaker 2: The poorest person in Kuwait they live like kings. And
2:05
Speaker 2: yet they're not paying. We make it possible for them
2:07
Speaker 2: to sell their oil. Why aren't they paying us twenty
2:10
Speaker 2: five percent of what they're making.
2:11
Speaker 3: It's a joke this. This sounds like political presidential talk
2:15
Speaker 3: to me.
2:15
Speaker 2: And I know people have talked to you about whether
2:17
Speaker 2: or not you want to run.
2:17
Speaker 3: Would you d Would you ever? Probably not?
2:20
Speaker 2: But I do get tired of seeing the country rip.
2:23
Speaker 4: Why would you not?
2:24
Speaker 2: I just don't think I really have the inclination to
2:27
Speaker 2: do it. I love what I'm doing.
2:28
Speaker 3: I really like it. Also doesn't pay as well, No, don't.
2:32
Speaker 2: But you know, I just probably wouldn't do it over
2:35
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't, But I do get tired of seeing
2:37
Speaker 2: what's happening with this country, and if it got so bad,
2:39
Speaker 2: I would never want to rule it out totally because
2:41
Speaker 2: I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country,
2:44
Speaker 2: how we're how we're really making other people live like
2:47
Speaker 2: kings and we're not.
2:48
Speaker 3: What do you think of this year's presidential race the
2:50
Speaker 3: way it's shaping up, Well, it's going to be very interesting.
2:53
Speaker 2: I think I think that probably George Bush has an
2:56
Speaker 2: advantage in terms of the election. I think that probably
2:59
Speaker 2: people would say that he's got like that little edge
3:01
Speaker 2: in terms of the incumbency, et cetera, et cetera. But
3:03
Speaker 2: I think Jesse Jackson's done himself very proud. I think
3:06
Speaker 2: Michael Dukakis has done one hell of a job, and
3:09
Speaker 2: George Bush has done a hell of a job. You know,
3:11
Speaker 2: they all went in there sort of a semi underdogs,
3:13
Speaker 2: including George Bush, and.
3:14
Speaker 3: They've all come out.
3:15
Speaker 2: I think people that are around all three of those
3:17
Speaker 2: candidates can be very proud of the jobs they've done.
3:21
Speaker 1: You listen to Donald Trump then, and there's a couple
3:26
Speaker 1: of things there that are very consistent. He said, our
3:30
Speaker 1: allies are ripping us off. They're ripping Americans off in trade,
3:35
Speaker 1: and we start there. He also said it's a little
3:38
Speaker 1: bit tougher with our adversaries. A great example of that
3:42
Speaker 1: is what he's dealing with with Russia right now. There
3:45
Speaker 1: are many in the press trying to attack Donald Trump
3:48
Speaker 1: for not putting major sanctions on Russia. Well, he says
3:53
Speaker 1: he's trying to stop a war between Russia and Ukraine.
3:55
Speaker 1: Why complicate things and make things worse by throwing tariffs
3:59
Speaker 1: on them?
4:00
Speaker 4: But there's also a second.
4:01
Speaker 1: Point that the media is omitting from the facts. There's
4:06
Speaker 1: not a lot to put tariffs on because we have
4:09
Speaker 1: so many sanctions right now on Russia already, so it's
4:13
Speaker 1: almost like there is. In fact, they said of tariffs,
4:16
Speaker 1: there are tariffs of we're not doing anything with you,
4:19
Speaker 1: and yet the media is trying to act like there's
4:21
Speaker 1: some sort of Russia collusion three point zero or four
4:26
Speaker 1: point zero or five point zero when it comes to Russia.
4:30
Speaker 1: This is how they're going to continue to attack Donald Trump.
4:34
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, this is a plan
4:36
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump made clear back in nineteen eighty eight,
4:40
Speaker 1: is something he believed in. He understands leverage, and that's
4:44
Speaker 1: why there's fifty plus countries waiting in line to work
4:48
Speaker 1: a deal with Donald J. Trump, the president of the
4:51
Speaker 1: United States of America. I also want to go back
4:56
Speaker 1: to something else that I mentioned earlier, and that is
5:00
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump was talking about tariffs, he also said
5:05
Speaker 1: this is a way for America to get out of debt.
5:08
Speaker 1: Donald Trump on Air Force one saying this about tariffs
5:11
Speaker 1: and how much money the US will make off of
5:14
Speaker 1: these tariffs.
5:15
Speaker 3: Listen, I've been proven it this run.
5:18
Speaker 4: Will you talk to a lot of leaders this weekend?
5:20
Speaker 4: Can you tell us their were there any deals made?
5:23
Speaker 3: I spoke to a lot of leaders.
5:25
Speaker 5: European agent from all over the world, did die to
5:29
Speaker 5: make a deal. But I said, We're not gonna have
5:31
Speaker 5: deficits with your country. We're not gonna do that because
5:35
Speaker 5: to me, a deficit is a loss. We're gonna have
5:38
Speaker 5: surpluses or were at worst gonna be breaking even. But
5:43
Speaker 5: the China would be the worst in the group because
5:46
Speaker 5: the deficit is so big and it's not sustainable.
5:51
Speaker 3: And you know, I was elected on this.
5:53
Speaker 5: This was one of the biggest reasons I got elected
5:56
Speaker 5: was exactly because of this. And we're gonna put tariffs.
6:00
Speaker 5: We've already put them on. It's not a question that
6:01
Speaker 5: we will. We're going to put them on. And those
6:04
Speaker 5: tariffs next year will make US one trillion dollars. In
6:10
Speaker 5: addition to the one trillion dollars, thousands of companies are
6:14
Speaker 5: going to relocate back into the United States and North
6:18
Speaker 5: Carolina already. Furniture people are starting to move back in
6:22
Speaker 5: in Detroit and Michigan, which I won because of what
6:26
Speaker 5: I said. What I'm telling you, car companies are starting.
6:30
Speaker 3: To open up in Indiana.
6:31
Speaker 5: A big one is under construction as an example, Honda.
6:36
Speaker 5: But they're moving in like nobody has ever seen this before.
6:42
Speaker 5: So it's unsustainable for us to allow China to have
6:47
Speaker 5: surpluses of a trillion dollars. We will be taking in
6:51
Speaker 5: over a trillion dollars over the next short period of
6:54
Speaker 5: time with the tariffs that I've already instituted. They're already
6:59
Speaker 5: a place. Now, what's gonna happen with the market?
7:01
Speaker 4: I can't tell you.
7:01
Speaker 5: What. I can tell you how our country has gotten
7:04
Speaker 5: a lot stronger, and eventually it'll be a country like
7:09
Speaker 5: no other. It'll be the most dominant country economically in
7:12
Speaker 5: the world.
7:13
Speaker 3: That's just what it should be there in the market.
7:17
Speaker 1: There, you listen to the media and you hear how
7:21
Speaker 1: they're talking, and you hear the president. He's very calm.
7:25
Speaker 1: He has a plan. Trump was asked about the tech leaders,
7:28
Speaker 1: for example, are they freaking out? What do they say
7:30
Speaker 1: to you? Like they're trying to find some sort of
7:32
Speaker 1: war somewhere. It's not happening.
7:35
Speaker 4: There is no war.
7:37
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's communicating with everybody openly. I want to ask
7:42
Speaker 1: you about this other I would just say insane news,
7:47
Speaker 1: because I can't believe they've been allowed to do it
7:49
Speaker 1: for so long. And that is that is Mexico stealing water,
7:54
Speaker 1: which is suffocating farmers.
7:57
Speaker 4: YEP.
7:57
Speaker 1: Specifically, it's happening in Texas and it's making farming industry
8:03
Speaker 1: collapse and farmers disappearing from areas because there is no water.
8:08
Speaker 6: So let me give you the background, because this is
8:09
Speaker 6: a really important issue. It's important in Texas, but it's
8:12
Speaker 6: important to the country, which is there's a water treaty
8:16
Speaker 6: that we signed with Mexico in nineteen forty four, the
8:18
Speaker 6: Mexican Water Treaty of nineteen forty four. It obligates Mexico
8:23
Speaker 6: to provide three hundred and fifty thousand acre feet of
8:26
Speaker 6: water a year to South Texas. That's over a five
8:31
Speaker 6: year period. Okay, for the last five years, Mexico has
8:36
Speaker 6: been openly and brazenly violating the treaty. They've not been
8:42
Speaker 6: providing the water. They are right now in this five
8:45
Speaker 6: year period, one point three million acre feet in arrears
8:52
Speaker 6: water they have not provided that they've committed by treaty
8:55
Speaker 6: to provide. Now, what are they doing. They're diverting that
8:58
Speaker 6: water that should go to South Texas farmers under the
9:01
Speaker 6: treaty to Mexican farmers. And a couple of things are happening.
9:05
Speaker 6: So in South Texas there is a massive drought going on.
9:09
Speaker 6: It is doing enormous damage to farmers. And when I
9:13
Speaker 6: spent a lot of time in South Texas and the
9:17
Speaker 6: damage to farmers, We're seeing a lot of South Texas
9:21
Speaker 6: farmers that are taking half of their acreage out of production.
9:25
Speaker 6: They're shutting down half of their.
9:27
Speaker 4: Farms just because they don't have the water to do
9:28
Speaker 4: it right.
9:29
Speaker 6: They're laying off thousands of workers. So there was one
9:35
Speaker 6: sugar mill in all of Texas last year. It shut
9:40
Speaker 6: down because of water, and it shut down because the
9:43
Speaker 6: sugar farmers did not have the water to raise the
9:45
Speaker 6: sugar wow And it's gone.
9:48
Speaker 4: And Mexico on the other side of green as can be.
9:51
Speaker 6: It is green as can be. The Mexican farmers are prospering.
9:54
Speaker 6: They're literally stealing our water. And by the way, like
9:58
Speaker 6: President Trump talks a lot about foreign countries taking advantage
10:01
Speaker 6: of America, this is this is literally the Mexican government
10:05
Speaker 6: stealing our water.
10:06
Speaker 4: And did Joe Biden do anything to stop this? Zero?
10:09
Speaker 6: And he knew about it, So he knew about it.
10:11
Speaker 6: So I've engaged this issue. I engaged. I started engaging
10:15
Speaker 6: about two years ago, and I started engaging when I
10:17
Speaker 6: was down in South Texas and I did a Roundtaal
10:19
Speaker 6: with farmers and they raised this issue to me. And
10:21
Speaker 6: two years ago, I didn't know what the Water treat
10:25
Speaker 6: of nineteen forty four was, and they explained it to me.
10:28
Speaker 6: And at the time they were really worried, we're going
10:30
Speaker 6: to lose our sugar mill if this doesn't change. And
10:33
Speaker 6: I said, look, I think I can help. I'm going
10:35
Speaker 6: to lean in. And I began leaning in aggressively. I
10:38
Speaker 6: forced a vote on the Senate floor on an amendment
10:42
Speaker 6: to direct the State Department to use every lever point
10:45
Speaker 6: we have to force Mexico to comply with a water treaty.
10:49
Speaker 6: I got a majority of the senator, bipartisan majority. And
10:53
Speaker 6: then there's a water commissioner for the United States. I
10:56
Speaker 6: like leaned in with the water commissioner said, look, the
10:58
Speaker 6: Senate has spoken a by part of majority. And here's
11:01
Speaker 6: the fundamental problem. Joe Biden didn't give a damn about this.
11:06
Speaker 6: So I desperately tried to get the Biden administration to
11:10
Speaker 6: exert leverage. Yeah, and they just didn't care.
11:13
Speaker 1: Now, by the way, leverage for Donald Trump at this
11:15
Speaker 1: point was him saying, hey, I'm coming after you with
11:17
Speaker 1: with tariffs or sanctions, So do the right thing now
11:20
Speaker 1: before I have to do that, and they know he
11:21
Speaker 1: means it. Unlike even if you had that same statement
11:24
Speaker 1: from Joe Biden, he ain't gonna do anything.
11:26
Speaker 6: So in South Texas, cities are also facing massive drought.
11:29
Speaker 6: You're literally facing the cities not having enough water for
11:32
Speaker 6: their citizens because Mexico's stealing the water. And so I
11:36
Speaker 6: leaned in. I could not get the Biden's administration do
11:39
Speaker 6: a damn thing. In December, as part of the Continuing Resolution,
11:43
Speaker 6: I authored legislation that got adopted that provided two hundred
11:47
Speaker 6: and eighty million dollars in emergency relief for Texas farmers
11:51
Speaker 6: because they're they're going broke. And we're talking about generational farms,
11:55
Speaker 6: farms that have been three or four generations who were
11:58
Speaker 6: being bankrupted because their government is not enforcing the treaty
12:02
Speaker 6: and they're being starved of water.
12:04
Speaker 3: And so.
12:06
Speaker 6: Several weeks ago I went down to South Texas with
12:08
Speaker 6: Brook Rawlins. Brook Rollins is the Secretary of Agriculture. Brook
12:12
Speaker 6: has been a good friend of mine for twenty five years.
12:15
Speaker 6: She's a Texan. She's the first Texan in the history
12:18
Speaker 6: of the country to be the Secretary of agriculture. She's
12:21
Speaker 6: also the first Secretary of Agriculture ever to go to
12:24
Speaker 6: the Rio Grande Valley. Wow, and she came to the
12:27
Speaker 6: valley at my request. I asked her come down with me,
12:30
Speaker 6: and we did. We did a press conference number one
12:34
Speaker 6: where she announced I've got two hundred and eighty million
12:36
Speaker 6: dollars I'm giving the South Texas farmers because your federal
12:39
Speaker 6: government has been screwing you by not getting the water
12:41
Speaker 6: back and Mexico is starving you. But we also did
12:45
Speaker 6: a roundtable. We did a round table with farmers where
12:47
Speaker 6: Brook and I talked with the farmers and the Rio
12:51
Speaker 6: Grande Valley has been bright blue for one hundred years.
12:57
Speaker 6: In twenty twenty four, the Rio Grande Valley flipped red.
13:02
Speaker 6: I won the valley and Donald Trump won the valley.
13:06
Speaker 6: That has never happened. I won Hispanic statewide in Texas
13:09
Speaker 6: by six points. That's never happened. I have spent an
13:13
Speaker 6: enormous amount of time and millions of dollars in the
13:16
Speaker 6: valley trying to flip the valley red because I saw
13:18
Speaker 6: the potential there, and so I think I've invested more
13:21
Speaker 6: than any elected official in Texas in terms of turning
13:24
Speaker 6: the valley red. Well, I got to say, sitting there
13:27
Speaker 6: at that roundtable, you got farmers and ranchers and you're
13:29
Speaker 6: just asking them, look over the last four years, did
13:34
Speaker 6: Joe Biden do a damn thing for you?
13:36
Speaker 3: No?
13:37
Speaker 4: And that's how that's how you turn this.
13:39
Speaker 6: And what I told them as I said, listen, if
13:41
Speaker 6: there's one thing you know about Donald Trump, he will
13:44
Speaker 6: stand up to foreign countries and fight for you. And
13:48
Speaker 6: I made that commitment. And frankly, look, these are voters
13:53
Speaker 6: who their entire lives have voted Democrats. Their parents voted Democrats,
13:59
Speaker 6: their grandparents voted Democrat, they're great grandparents voted Democrat. And
14:04
Speaker 6: this last election, for the first time, they pulled the
14:06
Speaker 6: lever for Republican going down there and saying, look, we're
14:10
Speaker 6: fighting for you, We're going to get you. The damn
14:12
Speaker 6: water is one of the ways you lock those votes.
14:15
Speaker 6: And it's a generational shift for Texas.
14:18
Speaker 1: By the way, this is the first time for Verdict.
14:21
Speaker 1: They've just opened the vote. They're only keeping it open
14:23
Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes.
14:24
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna go momentario.
14:25
Speaker 1: You're gonna go momentarily, which means actually it's about twelve
14:28
Speaker 1: minutes because I'm a couple minutes behind. Just this is
14:30
Speaker 1: this is why I love doing verdict, because this is
14:32
Speaker 1: how it really works. And its sandy in the Senate.
14:34
Speaker 6: So I will say this. I called President Trump a
14:38
Speaker 6: week ago and I said, Miss President, would make a
14:42
Speaker 6: huge difference if you leaned in personally with the President
14:45
Speaker 6: of Mexico and said.
14:48
Speaker 4: Provide us the water. Yeah, knock it off.
14:50
Speaker 6: And he said, I'll tell you what. I'll send a
14:53
Speaker 6: truth social post. And so I worked with them on
14:56
Speaker 6: the wording of it, and tonight, when I was in
14:59
Speaker 6: the old I said, miss President, can you send that
15:03
Speaker 6: truth post?
15:04
Speaker 4: Yeah?
15:04
Speaker 6: He sent it tonight. I'm going to read it to you.
15:07
Speaker 6: Here's what President Trump sent this evening. Mexico owes Texas
15:12
Speaker 6: one point three million acre feet of water under the
15:16
Speaker 6: nineteen forty four Water Treaty, but Mexico is unfortunately violating
15:20
Speaker 6: their treaty obligation. This is very unfair and it is
15:24
Speaker 6: hurting South Texas farmers very badly. Last year, the only
15:30
Speaker 6: sugar mill in Texas closed because Mexico has been stealing
15:35
Speaker 6: the water from Texas farmers. Ted Cruz has been leading
15:40
Speaker 6: the fight to get South Texas the water it is owed,
15:44
Speaker 6: but Sleepy Joe refused to lift a finger to help
15:49
Speaker 6: the farmers. This ends now. I will make sure that
15:55
Speaker 6: Mexico doesn't violate our treaties and doesn't hurt our Texas farmers.
16:01
Speaker 6: Just last month, I halted water shipments to Tijuana until
16:06
Speaker 6: Mexico complies with the nineteen forty four Water Treaty. My
16:10
Speaker 6: Agriculture Secretary Brook Rawlins is standing up for Texas farmers,
16:16
Speaker 6: and we will keep escalating consequences, including tariffs and maybe
16:23
Speaker 6: even sanctions, until Mexico honors the treaty and gives Texas
16:30
Speaker 6: the water they are owed and gives Texas the water
16:32
Speaker 6: they are owed. Is an all caps there you go.
16:35
Speaker 6: That tweet got sent out tonight. I'll tell you in
16:38
Speaker 6: just within an hour of that tweet going out, the
16:41
Speaker 6: President of Mexico is sent out of tweet saying we're
16:43
Speaker 6: gonna fix this. We're going to fix this, and the
16:45
Speaker 6: Mexican government is freaking out. That's what it looks like.
16:50
Speaker 6: Later president who is fighting for America. Joe Biden could
16:53
Speaker 6: have done that for four years, but he didn't give
16:56
Speaker 6: a flip about farmers in South Texas going out of
16:59
Speaker 6: business the President's tweet, and I can tell you Mexic
17:03
Speaker 6: Mexico is in the process now negotiating with the state
17:06
Speaker 6: department to provide for the water. We're gonna get the water.
17:09
Speaker 6: And that's a great that's a great, great thing for
17:12
Speaker 6: Texas in America.
17:13
Speaker 4: Go vote. You're on the clock now. I love it.
17:15

17:23
Speaker 4: What is today? It's just they're all running together now.
17:25
Speaker 4: Today's Thursday, Thursday. So this is fright.
17:27
Speaker 1: So the bet that the weekend review will be on Saturday.
17:29
Speaker 1: So there you go, which isn't like a day. If
17:31
Speaker 1: you're looking at when we're recording.

Speaker 4: This, we'll see you.
17:33
Speaker 1: Then share this wherever you are on social media, and
17:35
Speaker 1: we'll see you back here on Saturday. The President the
17:38
Speaker 1: United States of America standing with American workers, with the
17:42
Speaker 1: coal miners their families and talking about energy independence, talking
17:48
Speaker 1: about putting miners back to work at the White House,
17:51
Speaker 1: explaining that it's time for us to be careful that
17:54
Speaker 1: we're not relying on others, and it's an issue also
17:57
Speaker 1: of national security.
17:58
Speaker 4: Here's part of what the president. It's at the White House.
18:01
Speaker 4: Take a listen.
18:01
Speaker 7: Today, we're taking historic action to help American workers, miners, families,
18:06
Speaker 7: and consumers. We're ending Joe Biden's war on beautiful clean
18:10
Speaker 7: call once and for all. And it wasn't just Biden,
18:13
Speaker 7: it was Obama and there were others. But we're doing
18:18
Speaker 7: the exact opposite. And all those plants that have been
18:23
Speaker 7: closed are going to be opened if they're modern enough,
18:26
Speaker 7: or they'll be ripped down and brand new ones will
18:29
Speaker 7: be built.
18:30
Speaker 3: We're going to put the miners back to work.
18:32
Speaker 7: And I said I was going to do this, and
18:35
Speaker 7: I've said it loud and clear, and it's time to
18:38
Speaker 7: do it.
18:39
Speaker 3: Then we need it now.
18:41
Speaker 1: The President mentioned there historic action. This is because he's
18:45
Speaker 1: no longer going to war with coal miners. He's saying,
18:48
Speaker 1: I'm here to help you, I'm here to help Americans,
18:50
Speaker 1: I'm here to help your families. I'm here to help consumers.
18:53
Speaker 1: As we are continuing to see the prices of oil
18:56
Speaker 1: and gas prices go down all over the country, the
18:59
Speaker 1: President making it clear this is the Democrat Party's fault
19:03
Speaker 1: and that's why I said We're ending Joe Biden's war
19:06
Speaker 1: on beautiful, clean coal once and for all. The President
19:10
Speaker 1: also talked about these important energy workers and coal miners,
19:13
Speaker 1: saying it's time for us to treat them like the
19:15
Speaker 1: American patriots that they are. They have been demonized by
19:19
Speaker 1: the left, and he said not in my administration.
19:22
Speaker 7: The energy workers and the coal miners in the area
19:27
Speaker 7: that I'm standing on. And there's a lot of weight
19:29
Speaker 7: on this platform, So I don't know what's going to happen.
19:32
Speaker 3: I hope it's structurally designed for you guys.
19:34
Speaker 7: I don't know, but we have just really well deserving,
19:39
Speaker 7: great American patriots, and it's such an honor to be
19:44
Speaker 7: here and making such a big move, such a bold
19:47
Speaker 7: move and energy because you know, for years people would
19:52
Speaker 7: just bemoan this industry and decimate the industry for absolutely
20:00
Speaker 7: no reason. Because with modern technology and all of the
20:03
Speaker 7: other things that we do, it's one of the great
20:06
Speaker 7: great forms of energy. That's why other countries, leading countries
20:09
Speaker 7: are using it, some exclusively.
20:12
Speaker 1: Some exclusively, also reminding that the Green New Deal is
20:16
Speaker 1: over and that there's other countries are using this exclusively
20:20
Speaker 1: to explain that hey, We're not going to have all
20:23
Speaker 1: these initiatives around a Green New Deal. We're not going
20:26
Speaker 1: to push everything into all this alternative energy. We must
20:30
Speaker 1: have energy independance. It is part of our national security
20:33
Speaker 1: and that's vitally important. The President also talking about the
20:37
Speaker 1: policy differences here and explain that Biden's energy policy was
20:41
Speaker 1: really one simple thing. Put Americans last, make you pay
20:47
Speaker 1: way more than you should for energy, and hurt the
20:50
Speaker 1: American family, and he says that stops today.
20:53
Speaker 7: The Democrats Green New Scam killed jobs and sent prices
20:57
Speaker 7: soaring here in America. But meanwhile, check opened two coal
21:01
Speaker 7: plants every single week, and other countries likewise went very
21:06
Speaker 7: strongly back into coal. Some of them never got off.
21:10
Speaker 7: Those are the ones that didn't have the problems. The
21:12
Speaker 7: Biden energy policy was to put America last. We want
21:16
Speaker 7: to be least. We got to be lest. Not a
21:18
Speaker 7: good policy. Under my administration, we're putting America first. It's
21:22
Speaker 7: very simple. America is always going to be first. On
21:25
Speaker 7: my first day in office, I terminated the Green new Scam.
21:29
Speaker 7: I declared the National Energy Emergency, and withdrew from the
21:32
Speaker 7: unfair one side and extremely costly to the United States
21:36
Speaker 7: only Paris Climate a.
21:37
Speaker 1: Court, and that wasn't all that the President had to
21:41
Speaker 1: say when it comes to our policy. The President also
21:44
Speaker 1: said we're going to get rid of regulations at this
21:46
Speaker 1: White House event with coal miners behind him, saying that
21:50
Speaker 1: that's one of the biggest problems is we've used the
21:52
Speaker 1: government to decide and choose winners and losers. This is
21:56
Speaker 1: part of that green new scam, as he mentioned, where
21:59
Speaker 1: you have a government that says we will subsidize certain
22:02
Speaker 1: things that we like and we will destroy other things
22:05
Speaker 1: that we don't like. That is the Democratic Party and
22:08
Speaker 1: what they believe in. The President said also those days
22:11
Speaker 1: are over as well.
22:13
Speaker 7: Now under the executive order that I will sign in
22:16
Speaker 7: a few moments, we're slashing unnecessary regulations that targeted.
22:21
Speaker 3: The beautiful clean coal.
22:23
Speaker 7: We will rapidly expedite leases for coal mining on federal lands.
22:27
Speaker 3: And these two gentlemen are going to do a real
22:29
Speaker 3: job of it. You've already started and will streamline permitting.
22:33
Speaker 3: We will end the government.
22:35
Speaker 7: Bias against call, and we're going to unlock the sweeping
22:38
Speaker 7: authorities of Defense Production Act, the Defense Production Act.
22:44
Speaker 1: So this is clearly going to have an instant impact
22:47
Speaker 1: on the pricing when it comes to what it's going
22:50
Speaker 1: to cost you this winter, in this summer, whether it's gas,
22:54
Speaker 1: or whether it's heating your home, whether it is buying
22:57
Speaker 1: certain goods that use a lot of the energy. The
23:00
Speaker 1: the President said there was we're slashing these unnecessary regulations
23:04
Speaker 1: and why because we need to expand rapidly coal mining
23:09
Speaker 1: in federal lands is a yes, well streamline permitting. Yes,
23:13
Speaker 1: we're going to end the government bias against coal. Yes,
23:16
Speaker 1: and we're going to unlock all of this so the
23:18
Speaker 1: American people get a better deal and also so we
23:21
Speaker 1: are not giving money to our adversaries or we are
23:24
Speaker 1: at a disadvantage with the rest of the world. The
23:27
Speaker 1: President saying this is the plan moving forward. He also
23:31
Speaker 1: said this, We're going to guarantee that this country, for
23:36
Speaker 1: many years to come, has what it needs to succeed,
23:40
Speaker 1: specifically when it comes to businesses, because this is what
23:44
Speaker 1: this is all about.
23:45
Speaker 7: Get a guarantee that we have a strong business for
23:51
Speaker 7: many years to come, that your coal companies and your
23:55
Speaker 7: miners don't get all excited about their jobs. And then
23:59
Speaker 7: should a radical left liberal become president, they end the
24:04
Speaker 7: business right away. And somebody's built a plant and spent
24:07
Speaker 7: hundreds of millions of dollars in building a plant, and
24:10
Speaker 7: the plant is going to be closed because a Democrat
24:14
Speaker 7: got in or a liberal got in. They're opposed to Call,
24:17
Speaker 7: and Republicans are very much for it clean Call, and
24:21
Speaker 7: we're going to give a guarantee that the business will
24:25
Speaker 7: not be terminated by the ups and downs of the
24:28
Speaker 7: world of politics. So should somebody come in to this
24:33
Speaker 7: very important office and say, oh, well, you spend hundreds
24:37
Speaker 7: of millions of dollars and you guys have given up
24:39
Speaker 7: your life because you want to be in Call, and
24:42
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden you don't have a life
24:44
Speaker 7: anymore because it's what you know the best.
24:46
Speaker 3: That's not going to happen.
24:47
Speaker 7: We're going to give a guarantee that it is not
24:49
Speaker 7: going to happen, so that if somebody comes in, they
24:51
Speaker 7: cannot change it at a whim.
24:53
Speaker 3: They cannot just go. They're going to have to go
24:54
Speaker 3: through hell to close you up, all right, So that's
24:57
Speaker 3: pretty good. We're going to give that in the form
24:59
Speaker 3: of a guarantee.
24:59
Speaker 7: That we're writing on right now structurally and from a
25:02
Speaker 7: legal standpoint, so your investments are going to also be protected.
25:14
Speaker 1: The President again putting American workers first. This is a
25:19
Speaker 1: big guarantee from this president and it's not just a
25:22
Speaker 1: promise that he mad in the campaign trail, but he's
25:24
Speaker 1: actually paying off on it right now.
25:26
Speaker 4: Now.
25:26
Speaker 1: All this is happening while we're also dealing with everything
25:29
Speaker 1: with the tariffs. The President also giving some good news
25:33
Speaker 1: on tariffs as well. Take a listen to what President
25:37
Speaker 1: Trump had to say about how much money we're bringing
25:39
Speaker 1: in already from what he has done.
25:42
Speaker 7: And for those of you that want to know the tariffs,
25:45
Speaker 7: you've been hearing about tariffs with taking in almost two
25:48
Speaker 7: billion dollars a day in tariffs, two billion a day,
25:52
Speaker 7: and we're doing very well, and we're doing very well
26:01
Speaker 7: and making I call them tailor deals, not off the rack.
26:04
Speaker 7: These are tailored, highly tailored deals. Right now, Japan is
26:08
Speaker 7: flying here to make a deal. South Korea is flying
26:12
Speaker 7: here to make a deal, and others are flying here.
26:15
Speaker 3: I mean, my only problem is I'm not sure I
26:16
Speaker 3: have enough.
26:17
Speaker 7: We're gonna have to use those those great law firms
26:19
Speaker 7: I think to help us with that.
26:22
Speaker 3: But we're going to probably do that.
26:24
Speaker 7: Actually, we're going to use them, and we're getting them
26:27
Speaker 7: for the right price because we have to.
26:30
Speaker 3: We need a lot of talent. We have a lot
26:32
Speaker 3: of two.
26:33
Speaker 1: Billion a day while you're getting a better deal for Americans,
26:36
Speaker 1: American workers, American manufacturing.
26:39
Speaker 4: I mean, this is pretty impressive, he says. We're doing
26:42
Speaker 4: all of these deals. And as he said, right now,
26:44
Speaker 4: Japan is flying here to make a deal.
26:46
Speaker 1: South Korea is flying here to make a deal, and
26:49
Speaker 1: others are flying here. They understand this presence not messing around,
26:53
Speaker 1: and they realize they're going to have to make a
26:55
Speaker 1: better deal with America so that America is in last
26:58
Speaker 1: place anymore, and you can get in the chin from
27:01
Speaker 1: all of these other countries around the world.
27:03
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, what Donald Trump said
27:05
Speaker 4: is true. I'm not backing down.
27:08
Speaker 1: I'm going to fix the problems we have with our
27:10
Speaker 1: trade deficits, and I'm going to make sure that people
27:13
Speaker 1: are investing in the US and American workers are winning,
27:16
Speaker 1: whether it's the coal miners or those in the tech industry.
27:19
Speaker 1: It's clear the presidents saying American workers are going to
27:24
Speaker 1: come first in my administration, and this could last for
27:27
Speaker 1: at least three or four more years. We're going to
