That is the big question is what will the political and economic fallout of this look like?

I think the man driving the train right now is driven by radical ideological fire and ultimate preparation.

But what will happen when the safety net is taken away, when jobs are lost, when people really feel this?

Yeah, I do think there is also a bet from the White House that voters will like this, that voters will want to see government drawn back and removed from their lives.

That's what vote wants to see.

I think that if Americans realize they don't like that and that there is a tremendous backlash to the pulling back of all these safety nets, that Trump...

himself could get cold feet and walk this vision back and that vote might not get what he wants.

You know, we'll see what the political fallout looks like.

Well, Coral, thanks so much.

Thank you, Natalie.

It was great to be here, as always.

So within hours of inauguration, Trump signed this flurry of executive orders touching all kinds of pieces of policy. There were about six executive orders specifically related to energy. But within them, some of those orders had more than a dozen different policies. And if you look at all of these added up together, they very clearly realize Trump's vision, which he has expressed repeatedly.

forcefully throughout his campaign of an American economy driven and centered on unleashing new forces of fossil fuels. More energy, more gas, more coal, more drilling, more mining, more use of those fossil fuels. That is the core driver of the American economy and of revenue and of what he sees as American dominance.

So you heard him on Monday during his inaugural speech saying that we will... Drill, baby, drill. Drill, baby, drill.

And very aggressively slamming the brakes on clean energy.

You know, this has been his vision for a long time. But more than that, it's about wanting to be seen as doing an aggressive U-turn on the Biden administration. President Biden, in his inauguration address and on his first day, made clear that he wanted climate change to be central to his legacy. And it really was.
