Strong. They're strong, and they're great. They're great people, and thank you very much. This is a very important day to me because we're bringing back an industry that was abandoned despite the fact that it was just about the best, certainly the best in terms of power, real power. And I'm very honored to be doing this. The countries went to beautiful clean coal and they've stayed there for many years. Like China that China is opening two plants every week.
Germany went green, very green. They went so green they almost went out of business. They Germany was finished. They went to wind. The wind wasn't blowing too much, and they went to all sorts of other things. You know. The green new scam hit Germany too, and guess what, now they're back to coal. They're opening up coal plants all over Germany. We're the ones that aren't doing it.
I call it beautiful clean call. I told my people, never use the word call unless you put beautiful clean before it, right dock, So we call it beautiful cleat call, beautiful tleat call. So today, thank you. Today we're taking historic action to help American workers, miners, families, and consumers. We're ending Joe Biden's war on beautiful clean call once and for all. And it wasn't just Biden, it was Obama and there were others. But we're doing the exact opposite.
And all those plants that have been closed are going to be opened if they're modern enough, or they'll be ripped down and brand new ones will be built. We're going to put the miners back to work. And I said I was going to do this, and I've said it loud and clear. Time to do it then we need it. And I look at these people behind me. I don't want to have any arm wrestling contests when they of them, but they've had a little more practice with the with the lifting things, I will say. But
they are great people. And I know him indirectly and directly for how long that includes you guys, for a long time. And they're great people and with great families and come from areas of the country that we love and we really respect. I don't want to thank Secretary Doug Bergham for doing such an incredible job. From the day I met him, I knew I wanted to have
him in my cabinet. He took a shot at running and he was so good and so solid that he made no news and that was but I saw him, and I saw his beautiful wife, Catherine, and I said that they're going to be a team. They are a great team, and they're going to be working for this someday.
And one of the first people I called after I won, so thank you very much, and along with the energy secretary, Chris Right, and I was going to make Doug actually the energy secretary, and he said, sir, do you have one person who's much better than me at this Chris Right? I said, who to hell is Chris Right? I have no idea who he is. And then I learned that he's the most respected person in the energy business by
far far away. For Doug to say that Doug's got a big ego was very tough for him to say that. Catherine was there, right, Catherine, you said, wow, I've never heard that before. But Chris, you guys are fantastic. Stand up, all three of you, please stand up. Well, that's a great team. It's no better team than that. And they're going to produce energy the likes of which nobody's seen before. You know, we need to do the AI all of
this new technology that's coming in Lard. We need more than double the energy the electricity that we currently have. You take all of the electricity in the country right now, for houses, for buildings, for everything, we need to more than double it to be number one. We're now way ahead of everybody at Ai. China's in second place, but way behind. And they're going to be producing a lot of energy and a lot of electricity for this, and so are we. And we're going to get approvals very fast.
And I would say the man that's almost comparable to you in terms of the importance to this, maybe he's even more comparable. I hate to tell you a guy named Lee Zelden, who's a friend of mine for a long time, is who was a great Lee was a great lawyer, and he ran for office and he won immediately. I gave him a very important endorsement. He won for Congress in an area that was unwinnable. He couldn't have. They were all saying, was he wasting his time? That's
Democrat territory. And I like Lee and new Lee, and he ended up winning a seat in a massive upset. Nobody knew what happened actually, and then he was there for a long time. How many years were you there? Eight years? It was very popular. And then he almost ran He almost won the governorship of New York, which is very mis lost by a few points, which was an amazing run. And I said, we got to get you in with us in some form, and we did. Then he's head of the Environmental Agency EPA and doing
a great job. And I said, if we have a nuclear power plant, Lee, can you get it approved in less than a month? He said what he said, I'll do it faster, by the way, he'll do a fast job. But he's going to do also a great job. It's going to be an important job. We don't even smile about it. But you know, I've been involved in the approval process for a long time, having been in real estate, and you go years and years and years for absolutely nothing.
And even in those days, you say, you know, this whole thing could have been approved in a week or two weeks or three weeks, and it would have been just as good. But they'd take you down on the path and you'd spend years waiting, and then sometimes you get rejected. I wasn't rejected too much. I was the king of zoning. I did well, but it was such nonsense. It was so terrible who the process was so terrible. But this is the big leagues now, and he's the
head person in the whole country. And I appreciate it, and I appreciate you doing it, and already they're respecting you very greatly. So thank you very much. Lee. Great job. So we have a lot of senators and congressmen and women, and I'm gonna just introduce the ones that I see here, because you know, it's always a problem when I do this, because I leave one or two out and that's the end. I never get their vote again. I never get that vote. Takes years, takes years to recover. But we'll give it
a shot. Because Senator John Barasso, who's my friend and a great gentleman. Thank you very much John for being here. Thank you John. Cynthia lummis fantastic woman who believes like I doing. She believes like I do in these people, right, she believes in them, maybe even more than I do. That's pretty good from day one. Thank you, Cynthia. You're doing a fantastic job. Kevin Kramer, my friend, Where is Kevin?
Because Kevin I think he was here because he was he had a problem, and I just will pay my respects. He wanted to be here so badly, but he had a difficult problem that he's working through. And we all love Kevin John Hooven, John, thank you very much, Thank you very much. Good Steve Daines, Thank you Steve. And Steve is a picker of great candidates, like he picked a guy named Tim Sheeheyes, who's here is Tim? Where's Tim? Thank you Tim? And Tim sheehy has turned out to
be a wonderful senator. And that was your pick and we went with it and you were right, and we have a great one in Tim. So thank you Tim, and thank you Steve. Shelley Moore Capito Shelley, thank you very much, West Virginia. From West Virginia. She has to like him, no choice, even if you didn't like it, you have to like all right. But they were doing a number on you. They were doing a number on
you with the call stuff. And you have not only call, but you have among the best call anywhere in the world. So thank you very much. Friend of mine for a long time. I'm the one that got him to change his religion. In a sense, he changed the party. He went from a Democrat. I said, Jim, you're not a Democrat, but he changed the Republican and he's one of the most popular Republicans and one of the most popular political leaders in the country. Jim Justice. I call him Big Jim,
Big Jim Justice. But if you look good, Jim, and he was in the business, and so am I doing the right thing? You would know better than anybody in this room. Am I doing the right thing? Jim? I think so right. Thank you very much, Jim. Cindy Hide Smith Cindy, thank you. Han, very good, good job. People are going to be happy and all friends of mine. Mike Lee, Mike, thank you very much. We have a lot of people from Congress, congressmen and women representatives. Morgan Griffith, Morgan,
thank you, Thank you very much. Bruce Westerman, Bruce, thank you, Bruce, Bob Ladda, Bob Ladda, thank you, Bob. Good job. Troy Balderson, Troy, haven't seen you in a long time. Since early that early race. I endorsed him before anyone knew who he was, and he ended up winning. That was another surprise, right you've been that was a long time ago. Yep, you're doing a great job. Thank you very much, Troy, Carol Miller, Carol, thank you, Carol West, Virginia, Riley Moore, Riley Hi, Riley. Thanks.
Mike Boast, Mike, thank you very much. Troy Downing, Troy, thank you. Oh he said something. What is that Cole? Is that cole in that bag? I'll take I like it. I'll take it right now. Thank you very much. Hal Rogers, Hell Hell, thank you, Thank you, Hall, Andy Barr, thank you, Andy. Good luck with everything I hear good things. Troy Downing, Troy, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very much, Joy, Hal Rogers Oops. Harriet Hageman, Harriet, Hi, how are you Harriet?
We just left, Harriet. This is one of the finest attorneys you will ever see. I have seen her in action and she is brutal. I never want her against me. That I can tell you. Dan Muser, Dan, thank you, Dan. Thanks Dan, good job you're doing. Wesley Hunt my friend too, Wesley great. I love your commercial. Pete Sauber, Pete, thank you, Pete. Great hockey player. He was right, great hockey player and a great gentleman. Just broke the record of Wayne Gretzky.
The great one is Wayne Gretzky. But we have another great one too, huh, just broke the record. Who was great? Governor Greg Giane Forte, Greg nice and good. Thank you very much, Greg, Bill Lee, Bill, thank you very much. Patrick Morrissey West Virginia. We Scott elected, Mark Gordon, Mark, thank you, thank you very much. And we have a lot of others. And I'm in trouble because I can't I don't know. I got five or six others that I see quickly, but I'm just not going to do it.
Don't hold it against me, because we have to get back to the most important people in the room. These people, do you know that, right? So, the energy workers and the coal miners and in the area that I'm standing on, and there's a lot of weight on this platform, So I don't know what's going to happen. I hope it's
structurally designed for you guys. I don't know, but we have just really well deserving, great American patriots, and it's such an honor to be here and making such a big move, such a bold move and energy because you know, for years people would just bemoan this industry and decimate the industry for absolutely no reason. Because with modern technology and all of the other things that we do. It's one of the great great forms of energy. That's why
other countries, leading countries are using it, some exclusively. For four long years, Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats tried to abolish the American coal industry. They did everything in their power while he was awake, which wasn't much. Shutting down dozens of call plants, banning call leases on federal lands, and putting thousands and thousands of coal miners out of work,
destroying their lives, actually destroying their lives. I'll never forget when I went to West Virginia, which I won by forty eight points. I think, right, big gym. I won by forty eight points. But in the first campaign where Hillary Clinton was about four states too early, and she was talking about how bad call was and how they were going to teach coal miners how to make widgets and gadgets and technology, which they didn't want to do. They want to mine. One thing I learned about the
coal miners, that's what they want to do. You could give them a penthouse on Fifth Avenue and a different kind of a job, and they'd be unhappy. They want a mine call. That's what they love to do. And she was going to put them in a high tech industry where you make the leaders cell phones and think, I don't know, do you think he'd be good at that? I don't know. You don't want to be And she was brutal about three weeks before. But then she had
a problem. She went to West Virginia looking for votes. And that was a bad That was a bad situation. You remember that. And there was a coal miner around the table with his family and he was in tears because of what they had done to him and his family. And I hope he's still around. But that man made quite an impression on the world and the public. Then we ended up winning in a great election, but we
ended up winning by a lot. The Democrats Green new scam killed jobs and sent prices soaring here in America. But meanwhile, China opened two coal plants every single week, and other countries likewise went very strongly back into coal. Some of them never got off. Those are the ones that didn't have the problems. The Biden energy policy was to put America last. We want to be last, We got to be last. Not a good policy under my administration.
We're putting America first. It's very simple. America is always going to be first. On my first day in office, I terminated the Green new scam. I declared the National Energy Emergency and withdrew from the unfair one side and extremely costly to the United States only Paris Climate accurt You know, under the Paris Climate Accord, we had a terrible situation. We would have paid over a trillion dollars. Think of it, over a trillion dollars, and Russia was
paying almost nothing. Russia had a nineteen ninety two standard. China was paying nothing. China didn't kick in until twenty thirty five. This was five years ago, so they didn't kick in for many years. India had no standard whatsoever. But we had the highest standard you could imagine. We had to start paying from day one, and we had paid lots of money. We paid for everything. So I was not a big fan of the Paris Accord, and I let it be known, and I got out of
it early. Then they went back into it, and now we get back out of it, and hopefully we can be there for a long time. Okay, a long time. Because it was a scam to take money away from the United States and hurt and actually hurt us very badly with coal and with other things. Now, under the executive order that I will sign in a few moments, we're slashing unnecessary regulations that targeted the beautiful clean coal. We will rapidly expedite leases for coal mining on federal lands.
And these two gentlemen are going to do a real job of it. You've already started, and we'll streamline permitting. We will end the government bias against call, and we're going to unlock the sweeping authorities of Defense Production Act, the Defense Production Act to terpret charge coal mining in America. They made it possible to impossible. You actually, I know a friend of mine has a plant. He said, you know, it's a shame. I'm ripping it down and I'm replacing
it with another form of energy. I won't tell you because it's also very good. But it's not as powerful as this, he said. You know, the plant I'm building, the new plant is literally half as good. It's no less you know, it's not probably even as good environmentally, but he said, it produced half the power for more money, much more money. It'll never compete with that beautiful plant. I have down the road, which was really a modernized
coal plant. Well, he'll be happy to know that he can open that plant up very quickly and it's going to produce a lot. But he was complaining, he said, this is so much better. He wasn't doing that as politic in me. He was doing that because that's what he felt. And he knew every form of energy. We talked about that. He knew every form of energy. But our government is going to do something that's very different. And I don't think even you two know about this.
This was my idea from about fifteen minutes before I got up here. We're going to guarantee that we have a strong business for many years to come, that your call companies and your miners don't get all excited about their jobs. And then should a radical left liberal become president, they end the business right away. And somebody's built a plant and spent hundreds of millions of dollars in building a plant, and the plant is going to be closed because a Democrat got in or a liberal got in.
They're opposed to call and Republicans are very much for it. Clean call, and we're we're going to give a guarantee that the business will not be terminated by the ups and downs of the world of politics. So should somebody come in to this very important office and say, oh, well, you spend hundreds of minut millions of dollars and you guys have given up your life because you want to be in call, and then all of a sudden you don't have a life anymore because it's what you know
the best. That's not going to happen. We're going to give a guarantee that it is not going to happen, so that if somebody comes in they cannot change it at a whim. They cannot just going to go. They're going to have to go through hell to close you up, all right, So that's pretty good. We're going to give that in the form of a guarantee that we're writing
on right now structurally and from a legal standpoint. So your investments are going to also be protected, and you're going to have no reason to be concerned about your future, your life, or your investment if you're if you're a minor, as this great governor was a minor, actually he was a He was one of the larger coal miners. He could fit up here very easily. You know, Big Jim. But he was a great, a great success. But they were very, very tough on him, and he did a
beautiful job with a beautiful product. Already, under our leadership, the Department of Interior has approved the expansion of the Spring Creek Mine in Montana, supporting two hundred and eighty coal mining jobs and unlocking over forty million tons of coal. And there's more to come Spring Creek Big One, and there's more to come in the states of Wyoming, Alabama, Utah, and North Dakota and many others. West Virginia, I can't believe they didn't put West Virginia down. It's lucky I
mentioned that, right. Can you imagine if I didn't mention West Virginia would have been in big trouble. They didn't mark it down here. It's good to have a president like that. They can pick that up, right. You think Joe Biden would have picked that up. I don't think so. To you, they didn't mention West Virginia, I don't think so.
I don't think you'd be standing up here either. The value of untapped call in our country is one hundred times greater than the value all the gold and Fort Knox, and we're going to unleash it and make America rich
and powerful again. Under this order, I'm also directing Secretary Right to use billions of dollars in federal funding to invest in the next generation of coal technology, which is an amazing technology in terms of getting the full potential of coal and also doing it in a very clean environmental way. Pound for pound, coal is the single most reliable, durable, secure, and powerful form of energy there is on Earth today.
It's a big step. You never hear those statements. You know, you've never heard that before from a politician, have you, Well, maybe from that politician, but not from not too many. But that's the way it is. I say it again. Pound for pound coal is the single most reliable, durable, secure and powerful form of energy. It's cheap, incredibly efficient,
high density, and it's almost indestructible. You could drop a bomb on it and it's going to be there for you to use the next day, which you can't say with any other form of energy. Virtually indestructible. Most importantly, we have more of it here in America than anywhere else on Earth. We have more coal than any of the country you go to Australia. They have fantastic amounts of cold you know who. They sell it to China. They sell it to China, they're nearby. They sell a
lot of it to China. But we have more than anywhere else on Earth. We also have more liquid gold than anywhere on Earth. So we're really an energy behemoth. But we're unleashing that also. That's going to be another part. But I didn't even want to mention that it's not down here because I didn't want to mention. Today is about clean, beautiful coal. So I'm going to give this to you. Let's just big. I give it to him.
You take that present. So, for example, we believe it is possible to extract enormous amounts of critical minerals and Earth's which you know, we need for technology and high technology in the process of coal mining, make it in America the mineral superpower of the world. Actually, in addition, I'm instructing the Department of Justice to identify and fight every single unconstitutional state or local regulation that's putting our coal miners out of business. And we are withdrawing all
of those objections from our government today. It's all being withdrawn. So all of you, people that have been fighting for your lives, we are withdrawing all of that today. We have excellent lawyers, excellent Have you noticed that lots of law firms have been signing up with Trump one hundred million dollars, another one hundred million dollars for damages that they've done. But they give you a hundred million and then they announced that but we have done nothing wrong.
And I agree they've done nothing wrong, But what the hell they give me a lo lot of money considering they've done nothing well. And we'll use some of those people, some of those great firms. They are great firms to they just had a bad moment, but we're going to use some of those firms to work with you on your leasing and your other things. And they'll do a great job. I think they're going to do a fantastic job.
And for those of you that want to know the tariffs you've been hearing about, tariffs were taking in almost two billion dollars a day in tariffs, two billion a day. And we're doing very well, and we're doing very well and making I call them tailor deals, not off the rack. These are tailored, highly tailored deals. Right now Japan is flying here to make a deal. South Korea is flying here to make a deal, and others are flying here. I mean, my only problem is I'm not sure I
have enough. We're gonna have to use those those great law firms I think to help us with that. But we're going to probably do that. Actually, we're going to use them, and we're getting them for the right price because we have to. We need a lot of talent. We have a lot of countries coming in. They want to make deals. If I told them about making those deals two years ago, or three years ago or five years ago, they'd be laughing at us. Now they're all
signing up, Mike, you know that. So it's going to be a great thing. But we're taking think of that two billion dollars a day. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money, even in the coal businesses. And huh, it's a lot of money. And America is going to be very rich again very soon. You're going to see that happening. You see it all all along, and it's so that whole situation that you know there was somewhat explosive. But if we didn't do that, we
wouldn't be talking the way we're talking right now. It's been amazing what's happened. Sometimes you have to mix it up a little bit, but we've had great, great consideration. We've had talks with many, many countries over seventy They all want to come in. Our problem is can't see that many that fast. But we don't have to because, as you know, the tariffs are on and the money is pouring in a level that we've never seen before, and it's going to be great for us, it's going
to be great for other countries. And we've been ripped off and abused by countries for many years with the tariffs situation. They've used haraffs against us. We didn't use tariffs against them or in any way. I mean, we just didn't use them of any monumental proportion. And so we are doing it now. We have tariffs on cars, we have tariffs on lumber, tariffs on steel and aluminum. Steel plants are going up because of it all over the country with twenty five percent tariffs on steel and aluminum.
And there's steel I think there's steel workers like me even more than the coal miners like me. Pretty sure that that's true. We have instead of having no steel business. I put them on Originally my first term. We would have had we wouldn't have had one steel mill in the United States if I didn't do that. And now we upped it, and we not only are we taking in a lot of money, but we're protecting our workers,
our steel workers. We're protecting our steel industry. And one thing, you know that steel and things like steel you need because you need it from a defense standpoint. You need steel for your tanks and your planes and your everything. And certain industries you can get away with not having, but others you need, and steel is one you need. So I want to let you know that's in full
force and effect, and literally as we speak. I spoke to executives in the steel industry over the last few days, and they're all coming in to build plants in the United States of America because if you build them in the United States, you have no tariffs to pay. There are no tariffs to pay. Zero, build them outside, using outside labor and hurting our businesses. And you send your product in, you have to pay a price for that, and they will be having they will be having tariffs.
As you know. It's an amazing thing. This has been something used against us for many years by other countries, China in particular, but others, not just China, others and taken advantage of us, ripped us off, and left us
for dead. Frankly, and I believe if I didn't become your president, I believe that this country would have had problems like they've never had before because it was a serious damage in so many other ways, not only the border where people came rushing into our country from prisons and jails and mental institutions, murderers, drug dealers, and some vicious, vicious criminals. Eleven thousand and eighty eight murderers came into our country. We have to get them out. We're getting
them out. Eighty eight of that number, half committed murder on more than two people, more than two people. And this is what they allowed into our country with their open border policy of lunacy. And we're taking care of that, just like we're taking care of you today. We're taking care of that. I want to thank Christine Home and Tom Homan for doing an unbelievable job. The whole thing
is what the job they're doing is incredible. It's really an unforced era should have never happened that we have to be spending such time and resources, mister Senator, and on getting people out of our country that shouldn't be here. I mean literally, from mental institutions, insane asylums were opened
up and emptied into our country. Prisons from all over the world, not just South America, prisons from think of this, from Africa, the Congo, a lot of people from the Congo, prisons in the Congo, prisons from Asia, from all over were opened up. And I knew that when I heard it was an open border. Poly says say, if you do that, every country is going to be dumping people that they don't want into our country. And that's what's happened.
But with leaning it out and the courts, we had a good decision as you know, from the Supreme Court allowing us to do that. We have judges that didn't want us to do We have judges that wanted the very evil gang members from Trendy Iraqua and MS thirteen. They didn't want them take it out of the country and put in very powerful prisons. When you look, you've seen you've all seen those slips, pretty amazing clips. But I want to thank el Salvador. They've done an incredible job.
But we've been fortunately winning those cases. But we have judges that are out of control that say, oh, bring them back, bring them back. We don't want them back. We don't want them back. Can you imagine you spend all of that time, energy and money on getting them out and then you have a judge that sits there, local judge who sits there, Federal judges sit there and says no, no, bring them back. One was brought back or they want to bring them back because he wasn't
a member of trend Iraqua. He was a member of MS thirteen, which is just as bad. So they misidentified him, but it sounds to me like he was a member of MS thirteen. So they want them brought back because he wasn't treated properly. It's we've got to be smart. Our country's got to get a lot smarter than it is. But we have to give the people that are empowered to do this kind of work, and it's not pleasant work. We have to give them. We have to give them
the option of making our country great again. And that's what they're doing. And I have great respect for those people, and they're doing it out of love. They could get a much easier job. They're doing it out of love for our country. It's so important, just like I'm doing this with Cole today for love for our country. Earlier this afternoon, I signed another executive order to strengthen our election tri grid by ensuring that coal fired power plants
are always available to meet surging demand for electricity. Unlike wind and solar, coal plants can run twenty four hours a day and rain, sleet or snow, and you will not be subject to the incredible blackout situation that's taking place in California, where they have blackouts all the time. It's an amazing thing with California. They have blackouts and brownouts at levels that nobody's ever seen before. And all they want to do is keep going the way they're going,
and they're doing a very poor job. As you probably heard, I released billions of gallons of water going in from upstate California, from the most northern parts of California, probably comes in from Canada to a certain extent. Thank you very much, Canada. We appreciate it, and I released it.
It was being sent out to the Pacific Ocean. I've been working on Gavin and some of the politicians for years, and they didn't want to do that because they were protecting a smelt the fish that was perhaps in trouble, but it's not unique to that area. And because of that, you had numbers had fires. Nobody's ever seen anything like what happened. Think of what it would have been like if you had fire hydrants that had water in them,
if you had sprinkler systems and houses. A lot of these luxury houses where they had beautiful sprinkler systems, there was no water. They had no water to put out the fires. Water is very good for putting out fires. You know, they just didn't learn it. But we now have millions of gallons billions actually they say of gallons of water pouring into California from the Pacific Northwest. I guess they would say mostly Pacific Northwest, but other parts
of the northern sections of California and beyond. And it's a beautiful thing to see. I saw a picture of it this morning. The water's just flowing down there. I said, why didn't they do this? I told them to do it my first term, I said, do it, And I don't know. I think the second term is just more powerful. They do it when as they do it, they do it right. And we actually had to do some pretty
strong things to get them to open it up. They had think of this ad all that water pouring out right into the Pacific, that a big valve, like a giant valve as big as this room. And they turned the valve. Takes one day to turn it, and they face it toward the Pacific Ocean and the water all that was coming down, all millions and millions of gallons coming down. They put it into the Pacific Ocean, which for the Pacific Ocean is like a drop of water,
but for California it would have been unbelievable. So we did it. I'm very proud of the fact that we did it. We did that against a lot of heat and a lot of environmental nonsense. From now on, wheel sure that our nations critically needed coal plants, as an example, remain online and fully operational. They're always going to be operational, and again we're going to have guarantees that government cannot close them down, close you down, and destroy your lives.
To that end, I'm also instructing Secretary Right to save the Choi coal plant in Arizona big plant which has been slated for destruction. We're going to keep those coal miners on the job. Can to tell them to just remain calm, because we're going to have that plant opening and burning the clean call, beautiful clean call, in a very short period of time. You know all about that, right, That's a big one. As part of our historic deregulatory efforts.
This afternoon, I'm also granting immediate relief to forty seven companies operating sixty six coal plants, very big ones all over the country, recusing and making them available for coal production almost in the immediate future. But we're going to be crushing Biden era environmental restrictions. These are restrictions that made it impossible, impossible to do anything having to do frankly, with energy, even beyond coal. It's really beyond even coal.
