wyoming, our nation an energy superpower, we are the breadbasket in wyoming. energy production is the heart of wyoming's economy and the nation's. it supports workers, schools, infrastructure. the tax revenue. wyoming is the least populated state but the third-largest net energy supplier producing 12 times more energy than we consume. it's at the forefront of oil, natural gas, coal production, carbon capture, hydrogen production, many alternative sources of energy. energy producers in wyoming in the country faced a government assault from the biden administration on american energy production. taxes, crippling regulations, weaponize the tax code in ways that are unthinkable against conventional american energy production, things joe biden signed into law may things worse but the good news is with you there, things are about to change. you have talked about boosting american energy production. what role do you see yourself playing as treasury secretary in making sure we become american energy dominant and in terms of energy security? mr. bessent: i enjoyed our

buffalo, wyoming. year, the outgoing administration finalized a resource management plan for buffalo, the buffalo wyoming field office, this plan would ban new coal leasing in the powder river basin, which is the most energy rich area in the country. we are america's energy breadbasket in wyoming. this short-sighted decision is an insult to our communities and harmful for american energy security. if confirmed, would you work with me to reverse this plan? gov. doug burgum: absolutely. and i also know that when we talk about critical minerals, that in that powder river coal include many of the critical minerals that we need for defense, for technology, and for the future of this country. and so, rather than this blanket approach of trying to block that type of energy development, we need to be thinking about how innovation can help us solve multiple problems at once. sen. barrasso: i want to move now to oil and gas leases. outgoing administration has a disgraceful record on oil and gas management. it bl

this is certainly good news for my home state of wyoming. wyoming is america's energy breadbasket. oil and gas is our bread and butter. we have world class reserves of coal. we have world class wind. we have ben fifthed from american -- ben fifthed -- benefitted from american energy dominance and wyoming workers made it all possible. wyoming energy workers stand ready to unleash american energy once again. i hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle preach doom and gloom about energy independence. the democrat leader is here on the floor, said yesterday chris wright, the president's nominee for the secretary ever energy -- secretary of energy, he called this nominee an energy extremist. why? because chris wright believes, and i quote, oil and gas makes the world go round. well, it does. this is the depth of democrats' climate delusion. oil and gas drive our economy, produce great jobs, and produce our prosperity. because of american oil and gas, we do it cleaner, we do it safer, and we do it more reliably than anyplace else on planet earth. the facts could not be clearer. s

a fantastic vacation in wyoming this summer. in terms of within the potential trump administration, i am sure that you have heard it from secretary right and program. we referred to as emanate -- energy dominant spirit energy dominance, one of the reasons that i believe we have not been able to apply the sanctions against the russian federation or unwilling was because the supply of energy was constrained in the u.s. so, the same with the terrorist regime in iran. i would view that as we can raise u.s. production, we would squeeze down the bad actors, especially iran, i think that i'm right, maybe not in the exact numbers, but in order of magnitude, i believe that iran was down to 100,000 barrels of oil exports from when president trump left office i believe now exporting in excess are approximately 1.7 million. so, through sanctions policy, i believe that we can, again, as i like to say, take iran poor again, not the iranian people, the iranian government and then, at the same time, have our domestic reducers push that up with

wyoming is america's energy bread basket. america is a world energy superpower. we just haven't acted like it for the last four years and we'll act like it again. president trump day one will sign enough executive orders and a blizzard of executive orders taking handcuffs off american energy and getting rid of these ev mandates, ev tax credits and all of those sorts of things and getting rid of the ridiculous moratorium on exploration and ability for us to send overseas to our allies natural gas. american energy because energy is known as the master resource for a reason. powers our economy and military. it's good american jobs, affordable energy is the key to future. larry: off all this money and rhetorical nonsense and half baked lies we've been told the fact remains that energy is crucial and iday dare say i think that base load, senates torr bras koenen, will be some -- senator barrasso, some combination of natural gas and nuclear and going forward for the next 50 years or next 100 years. >> president trump put together all star team on cabinet and secretary

joining us to talk about it, wyoming senator cynthia lummis.ming on, ma'am. what do you think? that's a sr. interesting hypothesis. bring down to oil price, damage russia. it's a one-crop, one-stop, one-horse economy. so you've knocked down prices. you could end the war. what do you think about that? >> oh, i think he's right, larry. so the definition of inflation is too much money chasing too few goods. so the price of oil's up. if we produce more oil, then we'd have more goods, and the price would go down. if if the price goes down, our oil is more attractive, our natural algas is more attractivs more attractive, and if we can get it over to europe, we can create more opportunities to compete against russia. countries that are buying their oil and gas from russia are then funding the war against ukraine. and is we've got to cut off the money that that's going to russia by selling their dirty oil and gas and thereby starve out the russian economy if funding the war against ukraine with. larry: so if you had, just for arguments sake, brent crud

i'm from wyoming. we are an energy-producing superpower state.e're the breadbasket of american energy. need to continue to produce all of that energy, and we've had a lot of problems in the biden administration who wanted to prioritize climate are over energy that is available, affordable and reliable. ing and one of the reasons that i believe president trump won was his commitment to to american energy. and we didn't have it in the last administration. we have it now. mike: my colleague lucas reported on president trump firing 17 inspectors general. do you have concerns about that move, sir? >> well, sometimes inspector generals don't do the job that they are supposed to do. some of them deserve to be fired. and the president is going to make wise decisions on those, some that he decides to keep, some that he decides to remove. he's moving forward aggressively across all areas of government. you just saw yesterday seven different planes of illegal immigrants, criminals out of the country into guatemala, into mexico. you're talking over 500 illeg
