But leading this leading this agency has been one of the great privileges and honors of my life. And as i said, you know, being the governor was the greatest job i ever had, being the governor of texas is an extraordinary and an amazing job.

Because they were. They were. The war on your livelihoods is over, though. It is over. But this is going to be a long recovery. But know that you have friends in this administration, people who understand that the power of america is in Americas Energy, its in her diversity of our Energy Resources. Our team is working to right the wrongs and put us back on a pathway to prosperity and energy security, and helping lead that effort. , a man that i have come to admire greatly. Hes one of the hes one of the most stable, capable, thoughtful leaders that ive had the opportunity to call a friend , and that is the Vice President of the United States.

[applause] were gathered here today as further evidence that President Trump knows that affordable and Abundant Energy is for our prosperity. Since day one of this administration President Trump is taking Decisive Action to unleash the potential of americas resources and were just getting started.

And he has really been a help to this administration. And we have some big things happening today. And we have some very big things happening over the next month. And i guess probably i can say over the next eight years, i suspect i can say that. [applause] its wonderful to be here with so many pioneers and visionaries from Americas Energy industry, great industry. I want to thank the leaders of our great Energy Companies for joining us today and for supporting our efforts to bring true wealth and prosperity to our people thats true. Come on, give yourself a hand. [applause] you deserve it. You deserve it. Youve gone through eight years of hell and actually i could say even a little bit more than that. You deserve it. I also want to express our sincere gratitude to the Labor Union Leaders and members who have joined us today. Thank you. Thank you. [applause] your workers embody the skill, grit and courage that has always been the true source of american strength. They are great people. They break through rock walls, mine the depths of the earth and reach through the ocean floor to bring every ounce of energy into our homes and commerce and into our lives. Our nation salutes you. Youre brave and you are great workers. Thank you very much, thank you, fellas. [applause] before turning to the topic at hand, i want to provide a brief update on two crucial votes taking place this afternoon on the house floor, very important. These bills are vital to Public Safety and national security. And i want to thank chairman bob goodlad for his efforts. Bob has been working very hard and really for a long time. But we got it going. First, the house will be voting on kates law, legislation named for kate steinle who was killed by an illegal immigrant with five prior deportations and lots of bad things on his record. The second is the no sanctuary for criminals act, which blocks federal grants to cities that release dangerous criminal aliens back into the streets, including the vicious and disgusting and horrible ms13 gang members. And were getting them out. We are getting them out. Theyre going fast. [applause] general kelly and his whole group, theyve gotten rid of 6000 so far. Were about 50 there. And were actually liberating towns like on long island, where i grew up. Were liberating towns. Those people are so happy to see our guys and our guys are a lot tougher than the ms13 characters, that i can tell you. [applause] liberation. And im calling on all arm wreckers to put the safety of American Families first. And lets pass these bills through the house, through the senate and send them to my desk. I will give you the fastest approval, the fastest signature that you have ever seen, right, mike . We will get that sign so fast [applause] and so when we get back, the first thing im going to do is how did we do on the vote . I expect good things, otherwise i probably wouldnt be talking about it to be honest with you. Just low keying a little bit. I dont like losing. I dont like losing. Neither do you folks. Every member of congress should vote to save american lives. Many great members of congress are here with us this afternoon, some great people. Some great, great people. Thank you very much. Not only are they working with us on Border Security but they share our desire to unleash American Energy. I especially want to thank secretary perry for his tremendous leadership in this department. Hes really done a terrific job. And hes also a cheerleader. Hes really a cheerleader. I watched that in texas. The thing i loved about him, he was always saying how great texas was. And if you dont say it, i dont know youve got to say it, right . And youre doing it right now with energy. Thats true. Along with secretary of the interior ryan zinki and e. P. A. Administrator, scott pruitt. Weve been through a battle scott. The world is starting to say, i think theyre right. Theyll find out. We have no doubt. But all three of them strongly believe in putting America First , which is what i believe in, which is why i got elected. Its called make America Great again. Thats what were doing. Make America Great again. Were here today to usher in a new American Energy policy, one that unlocks millions and millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in wealth. For over 40 years, america was vulnerable to foreign regimes that used energy as an economic weapon. Americans quality of life was diminished by the idea that Energy Resources were too scarce to support our people. We always thought that. And actually, at the time it was right to think. We didnt think we had this tremendous wealth under our feet. Many of us remember the long gas lines and the constant claims that the world was running out of oil and natural gas. Americans were told that we could only solve this crisis by imposing draconian restrictions on energy reduction. But we now know that was all a big, beautiful myth. It was fake. Dont we love that term, fake . What weve learned about fake over the last while. Fake news cnn, fake. [laughter] [applause] whoops, the camera just went off. Ok. You can come back. I wont say. I promise, i wont say anything more about you. I see that red light go off. I say whoa. The truth is, that we have near limitless supplies of energy in our country. Powered by new innovation and technology, we are now on the cusp of a true energy revolution. Our country is blessed with Extraordinary Energy abundance which we didnt know of even five years ago and certainly 10 years ago. We have nearly 100 years worth of natural gas and more than 250 years worth of clean, beautiful coal. We are a top producer of petroleum and the number one producer of natural gas. We have so much more than we ever thought possible. We are really in the driving seat. And you know what, we dont want to let other countries take away our sovereignty and tell us what to do and how to do it. Thats not going to happen. [applause] with these incredible resources, my administration will seek not only the American Energy independence that weve been looking for so long, but American Energy dominance. And were gonna be an exporter exporter, we will be dominant americanll export energy all around the globe, all around the world. These Energy Exports will create countless jobs for our people and provide true Energy Securities for our friends, partners and allies all across the globe. But this full potential can only be realized when government promotes energy development. Thats this guy right here. And hell do it better than anybody instead of obstructing it like the democrats. They obstruct it. But we get through it. We cannot have obstruction. We have to get out and do our job better and faster than anybody in the world, certainly when it comes to one of our great assets, energy. This vast Energy Wealth does not belong to the government. It belongs to the people of the United States of america. [applause] yet, for the past eight years the federal government imposed massive jobkilling barriers to American Energy development. Since my very first day in office, i have been moving at record pace to cancel these regulations and to eliminate the barriers to Domestic Energy production like never before. Jobkilling regulations are being removed and vital Infrastructure Projects are being approved at a level that theyve never seen before. As you all know, i approved the keystone xl pipeline and the Dakota Access pipeline in my first week. Thousands of jobs. Tremendous things are happening. And by the way, i thought id take a lot of heat. I didnt take any heat. Approved them and that was it. I figured we would have all sorts of protests. We didnt have anything. But i have to do whether its protesting or not, i have to do whats right. But people celebrate those two transactions as opposed to protesting. But sometimes you have to go out and just do it. And you find out whatever happens, happens, and but you have to be right for the american people. [applause] thank you. Im dramatically reducing restrictions on the development of natural gas. I canceled the moratorium on a new coal leasing, and you know what was happening, the new coal leasing on federal lands. It was being so terribly restricted and now with ryan and with the group, its gonna be open. And the land will be left in better shape than it is right now. Is that right . Better shape. [applause] we have finally ended the war on coal. And im proud to report that coursicle just opened a brandnew coal mine in pennsylvania, the first one in many, many years. Corsa, stand up. Come on. Congratulations. [applause] congratulations. Employing a lot of people, and we are putting the coal miners back to work just like i promised, just like i promised when i went through ohio and west virginia, wyoming and all of the different places. Congratulations, bob. Youre in good shape, bob. Right from the beginning. You just take care of yourself, all right . Were ending the intrusive e. P. A. Regulations that kill jobs, hurt family farmers and ranchers, and raise the price of energy so quickly and so substantially. In order to protect american jobs, companies and workers have withdrawn the United States from the onesided paris climate accord. [applause] and i wont get into it, but believe me, that really put this country at a disadvantage. Number one, we werent playing on the same field. It kicked in for us and it doesnt kick in for others. The money that we had to pay was enormous. It was not even close. And maybe well be back into it some day. But it will be on better terms. It will be on fair terms. Not on terms where were the people that dont know what were doing. So well see what happens. But i will tell you, we are proud of it. And when i go around there are so many people who say, thank you, you saved the sovereignty of our country. You saved our wealth, because we would have a hard time getting to this newfound wealth and thats not gonna happen with our country. [applause] today i am proudly announcing six brandnew initiatives to of americannew era energy dominance. First we will expand our Energy Department<\/a> and was joined by Vice President<\/a> pence, Energy Secretary<\/a> perry, interior secretary zinski and epa administrator pruitt.

[applause] today i am proudly announcing six brandnew initiatives to of americannew era energy dominance. First we will expand our Nuclear Energy<\/a> sector, which i am so happy about, which produces clean and renewable energy. A complete review of Nuclear Policy<\/a> will help us find new ways to revitalize this Crucial Energy<\/a> resource. I know youre very excited about that, rick. Second, department of the treasury will already tells us of they need millions and millions of metric tons right now. There are many other places that need it, too. And we want to sell it to them and to everyone else all over the globe who need it. Third, my administration has just approved a new Petroleum Pipeline<\/a> to mexico which will further boost American Energy<\/a> exports. That will go right under the it will go down a little deeper and that one section, right under the wall. Fourth, just today, a major u. S. Company, sempra energy, signed an agreement to begin negotiations for the sale of more American Natural Gas<\/a> to south korea. As you know, leaders of south korea are coming to the white house today and we have a lot of discussion to do every we will also be talking about them buying energy from the United States<\/a> of america and i am sure they will like to do it. They needed. They keep. They needed. They need it. Thank you. Traditional t additional natural gas from the lake charles terminal in louisiana. Its going to be a great deal. In order to unlock more energy from the 94 of offshore land close to development, under the previous administration, so much of our land was close to development. We are opening it up. We are creating a new offshore oil and gas leasing around. America will be allowed to access the vast Energy Wealth<\/a> located right off our shores. This is all just the beginning. Believe me. The golden era of American Energy<\/a> is now underway. I will go a step further. Nowgolden era of america is underway. Believe me. [applause] and you are all going to be a part of it in creating this exciting new future. We will bring new opportunities to the heartland, new prosperitys to ever cities, and new infrastructure all across our nation. When it comes to the future of Americas Energy<\/a> needs, you will find it, we will dream it, and we will know it. American energy will power our ships, our planes, and ever cities. American hands will bend the steel and port the concrete that brings these energies in our homes and export these incredible newfound energies all around the world.
