It would not shock me if Cory Booker didn't know. Those pardons were issued. I look at that guy who I think is a fraud. I'm not pretending he's some oracle. Spartacus? I look at that guy. I look at that guy and he strikes me more as a naΓ―ve than as a liar. I think he doesn't know. I think he doesn't know it.
I love everything about that. I love what he said. which was coupled in his inauguration address with a promise to drill baby drill and use the energy. That is imperative. I like the policy. We should never have been in that agreement. We should not be in any agreement that restricts our ability to grow our economy. And I like it as a matter of constitutional hygiene.

If this were a treaty that had been ratified by the Senate, then the president could not have stood there yesterday and announced that. But they rarely are. these arrangements, their executive agreements. And the thing with executive agreements, irrespective of the merits, is that they can be pulled out of just as easily as they can be made. And Donald Trump demonstrated that neatly.

This is the side of the new administration that I absolutely love. That was legal. It was good for our constitution. It was good for the country. It's good policy. And the way he characterized it, it's just so important This is a matter of debate in Britain, too, where the British, who have even less of an impact on the global climate than the United States, are destroying their country.

They're destroying their economy. They're making old people spend their winter shivering in the corner because of guilt. over a problem that is mostly now the product of the developing world. I don't, by the way, begrudge them that. I mean, it's really the height of hypocrisy to turn around and say, especially to India and China, you can't develop in the way we did.

But the British, the United States, France, Germany, for us to be doing what we have done over the last 5, 10, 15 years in the name of climate change, while China is bringing on hundreds of coal power stations every year, is preposterous. And I'm glad that Trump came out and said it as bluntly that he did.

I mean, that is a perfect example of what I was just talking about, right? Which is that you look at the supposed problem that we face, and then you look at the solution, which is to change our light bulbs. It's so petty. I am one of those odd people who's not bothered by LED light bulbs. I don't like the mandate. But one thing I really, really loved, Megan, was the reversal of the EV mandate.

Electric vehicles, if people want to buy them without subsidies, that's fine. But they don't. The vast majority of people don't want this, which is why it's a mandate. Also, the Biden administration knows that the vast majority of people don't like this, which is why the Biden administration has lied about it, pretending. that it's not a mandate.
