00:00It'll start getting cooler.
00:12You just watch.
00:13I wish science agreed with you.
00:31The Paris Accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty,
00:40impose unacceptable legal risk, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries
00:49of the world.
00:51It is time to exit the Paris Accord.
01:40After I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord, last year America reduced
01:50its carbon emissions by more than any country in the agreement.
01:55Those who attack America's exceptional environmental record while ignoring China's rampant pollution
02:01are not interested in the environment.
02:04They only want to punish America, and I will not stand for it.
02:19Former years of this man eliminating all the regulations that were put in by us to clean
02:25up the climate, to clean up, to limit the limit of emissions, will put us in a position
02:31where we are going to be in real trouble.
03:31But number one since Teddy Roosevelt, who would have thought, Trump is the great environmentalist.
03:42Do you hear that, Ed?
03:43Do you hear that?
03:44I do love the environment, but what I want is the cleanest, crystal clear water, the
04:01cleanest air.
04:23We right now have the cleanest air we've ever had in this country, let's say over the last
04:2840 years, because I assume 200 years ago was probably better.
04:33What do you think?
04:58Last year, I designated 1.3 million acres of public land as new wilderness.
05:06I ordered much more active forest management to prevent catastrophic wildfires.
05:11I'm recommending they do that in California and other locations, and you'll see how quickly
05:16the wildfires stop.
05:17The Great American Outdoors Act provides $900 million a year in guaranteed funding for the
05:24Land and Water Conservation Fund so that all Americans can continue to enjoy our parks,
05:31wildlife refuges.
05:32I mean, you look at this, you look at what we do with our wildlife, and it's really been
06:08After decades of abandonment and neglect, we're once again taking care of America's
06:35historic sites, lush forests, towering mountains, windswept and beautiful windswept prairies
06:42and precious wetlands and wildlife.
