The entire scheme is something that is designed for waste and abuse. And get this, Charlie, once the money passes through those eight primary recipients and moves on to those sub-grantees, EPA isn't even a party to the account control agreement. EPA deliberately had stuff worded into the financial agent agreement and the original account control agreement to tie its hand behind its back.

And the dates of this stuff is wild. The financial agent agreement, September 18th. The account control agreement is November 1st. The legal review on all of this is done on Election Day, November 5th. And as I pointed out earlier, they were still amending these things January 13th, just a few days before the inauguration. Last I'll say is this, if you don't mind.

Up front, the $20 billion was given out. It wasn't like they gave out some tranche of money and then over the course of time, the grantees coming back to the government and the government is signing off based on past performances and accountability and proposals for the future. The government gave out the $20 billion in the onset and said, here you go.

So the total amount of the EPA, the numbers were over 15,000. And one of the things that I asked when I first came in, it was three weeks ago today, I wanted to know what the numbers looked like as far as attendance inside of headquarters over the course of the last year or so. So since January of 2024, the average attendance rate on Mondays and Fridays was about five to 8%.

The most that the EPA headquarters had on any single day, like the record attendance was that there was one day where attendance hit 37%. President Trump came in, he signed an executive order, it's time to come back to work. And I believe that it's important for productivity, for collaboration. It's important for us to do everything in our power to make the American public proud.

We're seeing it right now with EPA doing such a great job in California, completing a phase one hazardous material removal. President Trump gave us 30 days to get it done. We're going to hit that. We have over 1,500 workers on the ground. EPA is in Western North Carolina. We're in East Palestine, Ohio. We're in Maui and Flint.

And now after the flooding that just took place in Kentucky, we just received a FEMA mission assignment to help with that removal, and we are on it. So we have a lot of important work here at EPA. We want to make the American public proud.

Great point. President Trump in that executive order that he signed on Friday, created this National Energy Dominance Council where we had multiple agencies all standing there represented by myself, Secretaries Wright and Burgum and Duffy and other members of the cabinet there to announce this collaboration, this partnership.

President Trump spoke about Constitution Pipeline, which was stopped by New York utilizing an EPA rule which needs to get looked at because this was a really important project. And as President Trump pointed out, can get done at this point in less than a year. So President Trump wants to green light it.

We need to ensure that we are not holding back that level of progress and that we are in touch with American innovation and that we understand that over the course of the last couple of decades, emissions have gone down here in the US, that we provide these forms of energy cleaner than so many other countries all around the world.

And America sits on all of these important resources that we will tap into in a way that is better for the environment than so many other places around the world. So if you care about the environment, We shouldn't be relying on all these countries elsewhere. Let's do it here at home.
