because there's a lot going on right now and there's unsettling times for a number of americans, everything having to do with the covid crisis to the lockdown, to the killing of george floyd and subsequent protests and riots, and the presidential elections. a lot of people are taken the opportunity to re-examine principles and figure out where we stand as a nation. >> watch sunday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern on c-span skewing date. >> at the white house, president trump talked about rollback of regulations. he criticized proposals offered by democratic presidential candidate jode biden. ♪ democratic presidential candidate jode biden. ♪

millions. it never ended. four years ago, we ended this regulatory assault on the american worker, and we launched the most dramatic regulatory relief campaign in american history by far. no other administration has done anywhere near. [applause] thank you. at the heart of this effort was a revolutionary promise for every one new regulation, we pledged that two federal regulations would be permanently removed. we not only met that ambitious goal, which at the time people said was impossible, we exceeded it. for every one new regulation, nearly eight federal regulations have been terminated. [applause] an incredible achievement. as you can see behind me, we have removed the gigantic regulatory burden americans have been forced to carry for

decades, freeing our citizens to reach their highest potential. our historic regulatory relief is providing the average american household an extra $3100 every single year. and we are going up from that number. [applause] we are going up from that number. think of that. $3100 per household. joining us today is vice president mike pence. thank you, mike. [applause] commerce secretary wilbur ross. wilbur, thank you very much. labor secretary eugene scalia. thank you. health and human services secretary alex azar. thank you, alex. transportation secretary elaine chao. thank you, elaine. we had a great day in georgia yesterday. cutting regulations like nobody has ever seen before.

epa administrator andrew wheeler. thank you, andrew. thank you very much. omb acting director. small business administrator. thank you. cms administrator. great people. those are great people. they are doing an incredible job should -- an incredible job. i want to thank the state and local tribal leaders that join us in this great cause. thank you for being here. what we have achieved together is truly without precedent. never happened before. the previous administration handed over 60,000 pages of heavy-handed regulations through the federal register. that is why nothing got done. under my administration, we have removed 25,000 pages of job

destroying regulations, more than any other president by far in the history of our country, whether it was four years, eight years, or more than eight years. the prior administration piled up more than 600 major new regulations, a cruel and punishing regulatory burden that cost the average american worker an additional $2300 per year. the average american $2300. hitting low-income americans by far the hardest. these regulations reflected a -- these regulations inflicted a steep economic toll on african-american communities. by contrast, our reforms are putting more money into the pockets of hard-working americans. in addition to saving every family more than $3000 per year, my administration has issued another reform that my council of economic advisors estimates

will lower the price of new vehicles by more than $2200 per vehicle. i think we will get that up to $3500 per vehicle. [applause] very exciting. the vehicles will be better, stronger, and safer. regulation cuts will deliver massive savings on broadband internet services and some home energy bills will be historically cut. it is actually amazing. as well as historically low gasoline prices. gasoline prices, today, it was $1.99. at the same time, we saved our oil companies. the largest energy source in the world. nobody is even close. they had a hard time a number of months ago and frankly, for a long time, but we have saved

them. $1.99, they were telling me. in some cases, lower than that. we are bringing that consumer choice in home appliances so you can buy washers and dryers, showerheads and faucets. you take a shower, the water does not come out. you want to wash your hands, the water does not come out. what do you do? do you just end their longer? longer?stand there my hair has to be perfect. [laughter] [applause] dishwashers, the people that do the dishes, you press it and it goes again and you do it again and again. you might as well give them the water because you will end up using less water. we made it so dishwashers now have a lot more water, and in many places -- in most places of the country water is not a , problem.

they do not know what to do with it. it is called rain. they do not have a problem. old-fashioned incandescent lightbulbs, i brought them back. they have two nice qualities. they are cheaper and they are better. they make you look so much better. that is important to all of us. but they are better. they are much cheaper. they were mandated out and we brought them back and they are selling like hot cakes. we stopped the egregious abuse of the clean water act which extreme activists have used to shut down construction projects all over the country. and i signed that legislation, i had many farmers and construction people standing behind me. people who have not cried since they were a baby. we gave them back their life. they took away their land and their rights. they took away their life.

by reining in epa overreach, my administration has returned the agency to its core mission of ensuring clean-air, clean water and a truly pristine natural environment. our air and water is as clean as it has been in the last four decades. yesterday, our country achieved a groundbreaking milestone by completing a sweeping overhaul of america's badly broken infrastructure approval process. it was totally out of control. instead of taking up to 20 years to approve a major project, we are cutting the federal permitting timeline -- it has already been done -- to a maximum of two years or less. in some cases, even less than one year. [applause] it is possible that it will not qualify and it is possible that it will not be good safety-wise, in which case, we will raise their hand and you won't make it.

but most projects will make it. you will not go for 10, 15, 18 or 20 years. there are many horror stories we can relate. we are reclaiming america's proud heritage as a nation of builders. my administration has also eliminated massive regulatory barriers in the battle against the china virus. these actions have saved countless lives. ventilators like no one has ever seen before. probably the greatest source of manufacturing and the greatest achievement since world war ii, we are making ventilators for countries all over the world. and medicine, accelerating the delivery of lifesaving treatments and ensuring we will have a vaccine in a record time. we are doing fantastically well on that. that will be for another time. doing oneeting we are

therapeutics. we are doing incredibly well. no administration in history has removed more red tape more quickly to rescue the economy and to protect the health of our people. when you think of it, we are all set up that as we get the vaccine or therapeutic and we are set up militarily, we will be delivering it in record time. it is all set to move. we put in investment upfront and we have logistical people, generals, great people, they will be delivering this all over the country. as soon we have it and we have made tremendous progress. you have been reading about it. in total, we have taken more than 740 actions to suspend regulations that would have slowed our response to the china virus. this includes lifting restrictions on manufacturers so that our autoworkers can produce more than 100,000 ventilators. we have done over 100,000 in 100 days. think of that.

we did not have ventilators. we were not set up for ventilators. we have become a country that is making a lot of them shoul. we are helping so many others. countries that will never be in a position to make them. we have saved a lot of lives. there has never been a person in our country, even though we started with almost nothing, the cupboard was bare when we took over, we started with nothing, there has never been a person in our country, even though we had we were goingy -- on empty. never have been one person who needed a ventilator that did not get it. think of that. not one person. as complex as they are. big and expensive, takes a long time to get them done. not one person has ever needed a ventilator that did not get it. thank you. [applause]

the people here -- they get no credit. i do not want the credit. we have done a great job helping so many other countries. we made telemedicine available to all american patients and allowed doctors to work across state lines. i will tell you the telemedicine is something that has gone up by thousands and thousands of percentage points because what happened is people that would not even think of using telemedicine all of a sudden starting using it and it has turned out to be good. really, really turned out to be good and solved a lot of problems. that is something that has been great advancement. furthermore, i have ordered federal agencies to look for ways to make these health care reforms permanent. vice president pence is working closely with state, local, and tribal leaders to streamline occupational licensing. over 30 states have taken steps to reduce these barriers to

unemployment and to employment, including a state that i love very much. a little history in that state. the great state of alaska. thank you very much, governor, for being here. [applause] in idaho, the governor was here today with us as well, set a new record for regulatory relief. good job. [applause] good governor. great governor. two great governors. the american people know best how to run their own lives. they don't need washington bureaucrats controlling their every move and micromanaging their every decision. with each regulation we cut, we are not only returning the money and the power to our citizens, we are draining the washington swamp, and they are not happy

about it. i can tell you that. i think you know that. deep.amp was i just didn't know how deep. deeper than i thought. joining us today are a few of the countless americans who are personally benefiting our pro-worker reforms. owns cambria -- joe cambria truck company in new jersey. it has been something he has seen firsthand, how our regulation cuts have helped create thousands and thousands of jobs. joe, please come up and say a few words. thank you, joe. [applause] >> in 1969, my grandfather, uncle, and father started the business. in the past 3.5 years, the trump administration has kept its promise to right size regulations.

i want to thank you for that, president trump. regulatory reform in the energy sector creates jobs, reduces costs for our communities and puts trucks to work. streamlined permitting and creating an environment that allows for efficient construction and infrastructure repair and development has the same effect. as a result of these regulatory reforms, our industry has seen record sales of heavy-duty trucks, which has been a boon to dealerships like ours as well as the environment. when new trucks replace older models come there is an environmental benefit. current powertrains have near zero emissions today and we are going electric, as well as increased safety like shorter stopping distances and collision avoidance technology. safer on the road. it has also been nice to hear made in the usa again, bringing manufacturing back to our

shores helps our industry and our entire country. in short, when we cut red tape, we created an economy that is responsible and sensible. we as americans all win. thank you, president trump. president trump: thank you very much. [applause] good job. that was easy, wasn't it? thank you very much. great job. dr. amy johnson is a nurse practitioner in rural virginia. amy, please come up and share with us how important expanded health care and telehealth has been for you and your patients. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. president. my name is dr. amy johnson. i am from bedford, virginia. telehealth deregulations has been a substantial benefit to my colleagues and i over recent months during the covid-19 crisis. prior to covid restrictions, our small, local hospital that has

limited access to specialty services used telehealth for neurological, mental health, and palliative care consult. however, telehealth is not something that was used within our primary care setting. since the deregulation, and expansion of guidelines through cms we've had the , opportunity to integrate video and audio visits as part of our patient care experience. during the covid crisis, there were days when almost all of my visits were done in telehealth. this allowed me to continue to care for my patients, including those that were the most vulnerable, without risking exposure to illness by bringing them into the office setting. since we've gone back to a more traditional model, we continue to offer telehealth visits which are a valuable option for patients with limited mobility and patients that remain at high risk. as a farm safety specialist, i can see the use of telehealth expanding to offer more services

to our farming populations and rural americans, including much-needed mental health services, which are unfortunately very sparse. in addition, access to primary care and to specialty services can be improved in medically underserved areas with the -- with deregulation and the use of telehealth services by health care providers, increasing the youth of preventative health care modalities, allowing more intensive management of patients with chronic diseases, and decreasing health care disparity. thank you, mr. president. pres. trump: thank you very much. great job. thank you. so that has been a great help to you, telehealth, has been an incredible thing. great job. thank you very much. jim is a rancher from arizona who was crushed by the obama-biden administration's ridiculous waters of the united states rule.

it has been a catastrophic rule but it's gone now. bureaucrats the ability to regulate every puddle. jim, please come up and tell us of your experience, which i know wasn't a good one, but it's a good one now. please. [applause] >> i appreciate the invitation, president trump, to be here, and i appreciate the opportunity to thank you for the deregulation in every area, including the waters of the united states. cutting the red tape, setting us free as private property owners, thank you. our ranch has approximately 100 dry washes flowing across it. these are little washes with no water.

the corps of engineers, the environmental protection agency, who wrote the obama 2015 regulations ruled that any dry wash that had more than 12 inches of sand in the bottom became a water of the united states. hence, we were subject to regulations and oversight from washington, d.c. and san francisco. it was outrageous. i believe that the 2015 rules and regulations were overreaching, caused red tape, and threatened me and other farmers, ranchers, businessmen,

and landowners with the possibility of going to jail and facing huge fines. thank you, mr. president, for the navigable water protection rule that you promulgated. it has set us free, the heavy hand of government is no longer on our shoulders. thank you, mr. president. [applause] pres. trump: thank you, jim. thank you very much. that was my honor, and thank you very much. it is terrible that you had to suffer for so long. they took your property away from you. you want to take care of your property better than any government is going to tell you to take care of your property, you will take care of it better, so we don't have to worry about that. thank you beautifully -- thank -- thankifully said

you very much. beautifully said. i want to, just as president, say that i will always fight to defend your rights and your freedoms. i will fight very hard for your rights and your freedoms. the hard left wants to reverse these extraordinary gains, reimpose these disastrous regulations. they want to take what we have taken off and put them back on. and i guess they can do that. you fight them for a little while, but eventually you will lose. they want to bury our economy under suffocating, relentless landslides of washington red tape like we had before i got here. we must never return to the days of soul crushing regulation that ravaged our cities, devastated our workers, drained our vitality right out of our people and thoroughly crippled our nation's prize competitive edge . that is what we have. great people the greatest people

, in the world. our entire economy and our very way of life are threatened by biden's plans to transform our nation and subjugate our communities through the blunt force instrument of federal regulation at a level that you haven't even seen yet. you think that was bad, you haven't even seen it yet. they want to go many times what they put you under in the past. under the unity platform, joe biden published with socialist bernie sanders, they are proposing, and this is all in writing. it is done. they agreed. they are proposing to reenter the job killing unfair paris climate accord, which will cost our country trillions and trillions of dollars and put us in a very, very bad competitive position relative to the world. not surprising to you, china will be greatly advanced under this ridiculous agreement. so will russia. so will many other countries.

they propose to mandate net zero emissions from all new homes and buildings, skyrocketing the cost of construction and putting the goal of homeownership out of reach for millions, destroying the look of the home, the beauty of the home. i'm somebody that has built many homes, many buildings. if you take a look at this, it doesn't look good. you still have to sell, right? but they put it out of reach from a cost standpoint. totally out of reach. it's not practical. it's not good, and it doesn't work. they want to eliminate carbon from the u.s. energy industry, which means abolishing all american oil, clean coal and natural gas. no coal, no gas, and oil, nothing to fire our massive plants. the result of this federally mandated shutdown would be the wholesale destruction of the entire energy industry and many other industries.

the economic evisceration of entire communities, and the unfettered off shoring of millions of our best jobs to foreign countries and foreign polluters. millions and millions of jobs would go. thousands and thousands of countries would be at a level that you've never seen. companies would be disappearing left and right just like they , did with nafta, which we terminated for the usmca, which is another beauty that we have done. not for now, but another great beauty. thousands of companies, plants, factories would be closed. under this dismal future, energy would be unaffordable for the vast majority of americans and the american dream would be sniffed out so quickly and replaced with a socialist disaster.

the democrats in d.c. have been and want to come at a much higher level, abolish our beautiful and successful suburbs by placing far-left washington bureaucrats in charge of local zoning decisions. they are absolutely determined to eliminate single-family zoning, destroy the value of houses and communities already built, just as they have in minneapolis and other locations that you read about today. your home will go down in value and crime rates will rapidly rise. joe biden and his bosses from the radical left want to significantly multiply what they are doing now and what will be the end result is, you will totally destroy the beautiful suburbs. suburbia will be no longer as we know it. so they went to defund and abolish your police and law enforcement, while at the same time destroying our great suburbs.

the suburb destruction will end with us. next week, i will be discussing the affh rule, a disaster. and our plans to protect the suburbs from being obliterated by washington democrats, by people on the far left that want to see the suburbs destroyed and don't care. people have worked all their lives to get into a community, and now they're going to watch it go to hell. not going to happen, not while i'm here. the biden-bernie plan would also use the weapon of federal regulation to tie the hands of our police departments by abolishing cash bail. think of that. bail. no problem.

they killed somebody? let them out. take a look at what's happening. crime in new york city up 368% from just a short while ago. they got rid of a lot of police and they are in the process of doing it, $1 billion. they probably want to abolish they probably want to abolish it. it's not even believable. when i first heard about it, when you first heard about it, i didn't believe it was real. just like the green new deal how crazy is that? it will mean the end of this country. so by getting rid of bail, they are incentivizing jail and prison closures. they want to get rid of prisons. they don't think anybody should go to prison. setting loose violent criminals, appointing left-wing social justice prosecutors like you have in philadelphia, where people creating and doing the most criminal of acts are let go, in many cases, immediately, and making our wonderful cops, our great, great police, cops,

subordinate to distant bureaucrats who have never spent a day in their lives fighting crime. unlike the socialist, we believe in the rule of the people, not the rule of the unelected bureaucrats that don't know what they are doing. we believe in the dignity of the individual, not the iron grip of the state, on regulatory reforms are vital, not only to the success of our economy, but the strength of our democracy, and the survival of liberty itself. my administration will continue pressing forward until we have made every last vestige of washington fully, completely, and totally accountable to the citizens of the united states. we are putting our faith in the workers who power our country, the doctors who care for our

country, the truckers who sustain our country, and the farmers and ranchers who preserve our country in all of its majestic beauty. the american people are the ones who made our nation great, and together, we will make it greater, by far, than ever before. god bless you, and god bless america. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much. [applause] thank you very much. thank you very much. i must have said something right.

i guess we said it absolutely right. it's about our country. we want to be strong, we want to respect everybody, but we have to have strong law enforcement, and that's taking place in the areas that we are responsible for payment we want others to call us for help. let chicago call. let seattle call. we were going into seattle, all set to go, and then they did it themselves. they heard we were coming in, and the hands went up. they gave up. it's so terrible when you see what is happening. minneapolis, we said get the guard in there. three nights, get the guard. we got the guardian. the national guard, they have done a fantastic job. as soon as they showed up, it was like a knife cutting through butter. you saw that, right? after four days of horror, it

wasn't the police fault in any of these places, they were told to leave. the police, generally speaking, they do a great job. they were told to leave. but you saw what happened. minneapolis, grab your gun and run. that's not what they wanted to do. but the national guard came in, and we did a great job. no problem after that. we just past a statues and monuments executive order, and they were going -- you see that beautiful, located right there, the washington monument. they had the choice to take it down, and i guarantee you come they want to rename it. they want george washington, thomas jefferson, abraham lincoln they want out. they want abolitionists out. they don't know what they want.

they just want to destroy our country. we're not going to let it happen. we are not letting it happen. so i would now like to ask vice president mike pence to say a few words. vice pres. pence: thank you, mr. president. it's a privilege to be with you today. thank you for bringing together all these great, hard-working americans, to be able to hear their stories, to be able to reflect on the fact, before the coronavirus hit our country. thanks to your leadership, we built the strongest economy in the history of the world. in three short years, you kept your promise, you cut taxes across the board. you unleashed american energy and you rollback regulations to help all americans and after 40 years of overregulation, mr. president, you delivered four years of regulatory freedom.

in our first three years, the results were extraordinary. businesses large and small created 7 million new jobs. wages rose at their fastest pace in more than 10 years. 7 million americans lifted off food stamps, the highest median income in the history of our country. as you just reflected, the centerpiece of that was lifting red tape off the american people and american free enterprise. i remember those days in the campaign for years ago when you promised that for every new regulation that we would eliminate two rules off the federal register. but as you just said, mr. president, for every new regulation put on the books, you actually repealed nearly eight regulations off the american people and the american economy.

and this president has already signed more bills rolling back federal redtape than any president in american history. they tell us that we have saved $220 million in our economy, and as you said, more than $3100 for every american household. beyond all that, the regulatory reform now has america's largest supplier and net exporter of energy for the first time in 75 years. that's what your deregulation delivered. as we continue to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, at your direction we are ensuring that our states, hospitals and our extraordinary health care workers have not only the supplies they need, but the freedom and the flexibility to give every american the same level of care that each one of

us would want a family member to have. as we meet this moment, this pandemic, we are also opening up america again. is extraordinary to think at the height of this pandemic, our economy had lost 22 million jobs, but because of the strong foundation that you laid of less taxes and less regulation, into short months, may and june saw a record-breaking job creation. we have already added 7 million jobs back to the american economy and we are just getting started. this record job both is attributed to the resilience of the american people and the strength of their character. it's a resilience to the leadership of the ajanta you advance in the first for years. as you said, it's also attribute to governors across the country who not only supported your agenda, but also, in more than 30 states, governors actually delivered on that same agenda of less taxes and less regulation. while i have been leading the

white house coronavirus task force, he has also been my honor to lead the governor's initiative on regulatory innovation and to work with these extraordinary governors. governors across the country have been reducing the burden of regulations at the state level. that has contributed to the strong foundation on which we are standing and the american recovery has already begun. as you mention, we have two of those great governors with us today. the first is a governor who in his first year in office cut or simplified more than 75% of his states regulations and cut the administrative cost by 20%. join me in welcoming idaho's great governor, brad little, to tell us idaho's story of deregulation. governor little: it's a great honor to be here.

as the vice president alluded to, our route to rebound is dependent on the red truck. not the red truck. what we did in idaho, where we had the third lowest unemployment, the third fastest income growth of any states, particularly those at the lower end, was to match up with your regulatory reform and make more opportunities available, whether it be the spouse of a military veteran that came there and wanted to have their license in their home state transferred, which today i can probably say takes is one half-day to get that done, so that those people can be there, and whether it's a small business that wants to remove the regulatory friction that existed there before. you have to free up all americans to have that freedom to create a new opportunity.

one of the things we did that we heard about from the good doctor was telehealth. between cms, the department, and what we did in idaho, we increased telehealth availability in idaho by 4000%. idaho is a rural state where accessibility and the cost of health care is always an issue. it's the accommodation and teamwork of your administration and what we've done to make that available to where we will rebound in idaho, thank you mr. president. [applause] vice pres. pence: finally, allow me to introduce the governor who told us in december when you kicked off the governor's initiative on regulatory

innovation that in his first year in office, his administration modified or rolled back 239 different regulations in over 100 professions. he is making sure that alaska is open for business and prospering was less taxes and less regulation. join me in welcoming alaska's great governor, mike dunleavy. [applause] governor dunleavy: thank you for having us here today. what you have done here for us, for governors and the people of this great country, and alaska, we have met at least eight times. when he stops over in anchorage on his trips, the first thing he says is, can we meet the troops, and what do we need in the state of alaska? this president sees the importance of that state and its people. this is really about hope, mr. president, restoring hope and opportunity. it's really about the art of the possibility. as governor little said, what you have done is historic, and it's going to continue to be

historic. in alaska, for example, we have communities that are 600 miles off the road system. the telehealth regulations in place now are not only going to be good for medicine but they will save lives as a result of the work that you and your team have done. we look at our resource development, we look at businesses, small and big. you have renewed hope that it is possible to achieve the american dream. these regulations over the past four years in many respects have killed the american dream, strangled the american dream. in the end, really what this comes down to is how does it impact the individual american? the individual alaska and, in my case. and i want to tell you, when the landowner goes and decides they

want to do a little landscaping on their property, do they have to look over their shoulder and wonder if big government is watching them? can they do what they need to do on their private property? you have restored the hope that they can. this goes for our corporations, are nonprofit entities, what you have done is restore hope and opportunity, and we are looking forward to more years of this opportunity, so thank you very much. pres. trump: thank you very much. so we have many exciting things we will be announcing over the next eight weeks, i would say. things that nobody has even contemplated, thought about, thought possible, and things we are going to get done and we have gotten done and we have started, in most cases. it's going to be a very exciting eight weeks. i think we can honestly say

nobody is ever going to see eight weeks like we are going to have, because we really have. we are taking on immigration, education, so many aspects of things that people were hopelessly tied up in knots in congress. they have been working on some of these things for 25-30 years, wasn't happening. but you will see levels of detail and you will see levels of thought that a lot of people believed very strongly we didn't have in this country. we are going to get things done that they have wanted to see done for a long, long time. so i think we will start sometime on tuesday. we will be discussing our one plan on suburbia, but that is one of many, many different plans.

then going into the world of immigration, the world of education. going into the world of health care. very complete health care. and we have a lot of very exciting things to discuss, but cutting of regulation has been really something that i felt we could do, and we could do fairly easily. nothing is easy in this country. we have statutory requirements where we do phase one and then we have to wait 90 days and do phase two, then we have to wait 60 days to do phase three. phase four, i'm sorry, you have to wait one year. but we were able to do things

that nobody has ever been able to do, or even close, on deregulation. i don't know who thought of this idea, but it's actually quite simple and quite good. quite simple and quite good. i don't like having that big sucker hanging over my head. i want to get out of here as fast as possible. but i do want to thank you all, incredible people, you've done an incredible job. the speakers, please, thank you, you've done a great job. thank you, thank you.
