Summarize this executive order, its about jobs, good paying union jobs, its about workers, building our economy back better than before its a whole government approach to put climate change at the center of our domestic national security and foreign policy Steve there. You have got the president yesterday, who had just signed executive orders, centered again around climate change, including banning new oil and gas drilling on federal lands while promising to deliver clean energy union jobs to those people who lose their jobs in places like where our next guest did here. With reaction, we have former Republican, Texas, congressional candidate and, U Dot S army, vet. Wesley hunt Wesley good morning to you good morning, happy to be here. Thank you for having me on Steve. Thank you for joining us. The American Petroleum Institute estimate that this drilling ban that I mentioned auto moment ago, will cost the u dot S economy, seven hundred dollars billion and kill nearly a million jobs by the end of next year and Wesley. A lot of those

jobs are right where you are living in Houston. Yes, you know. I find this very interesting that, with one stroke of a pen, President Joe Biden can effectively destroy potentially one million jobs here in the United States and by ending the key stone pipeline by banning fracking on federal grounds and by ending drilling offshore drilling. That only kills jobs and only kills our economy, particularly as it pertains to our Texas economy and im sitting here in Houston, the energy capital of the world. Also by reentering the Paris climate accords, we are going to hold the United States to a different standard that we are not going to hold China and India, who are the two largest carbon emitters in the entire world. Now I am all about getting to that next abundant source of energy, but we have to do it through the oil and gas industry, and we cannot forget that killing our jobs is not the answer. Innovation for the future is the answer, and Joe Biden is destroying that as we speak

Steve when you talk about innovation, you are talking about how the fossil fuel industry is getting cleaner and more efficient each and every year. At the same time, Wesley, you know for a fact that this doesnt mean fewer fossil fuels are going to be consumed. It just means that production is going to go some place else, thats exactly right and right now we are so proud of our energy independence that we have built up over the course of the past few decades, and only thing that we are going to do is rely more on the Middle EAST, more on China, more on India and thats, not the direction that this country needs to go, particularly with a year that we had due to Covid 19. We have got to rebuild our economy and rely on american jobs, and I think that the current administration is trying to destroy that. So we have got to continue this fight, particularly here in Houston, Texas, to make sure that we provide jobs, provide a living and allow people to build back our economy and to do that, its going to take innovation and strong oil and gas and energy industry its going to take us working

for the future, not working against it, Steve yeah. So Wesley explain to us, because you think about this a lot. The administration is saying you know what its going to be the price essentially of admission for a cleaner world, but all those jobs are going to go poof just like that. But people in your town, for instance, where you have got so many people in Houston who are in the oil and gas industry. They are going to come up with New union jobs that are high paying in the Green energy field. Who is going to create those jobs and what are they going to build? Because if there was a market for that stuff right now, you know how the american enterprise system works. Somebody would already be doing it thats exactly right and its, not the federal governments, role to mandate how their product center should work. This american experiment is whether a it is because of innovation, and because we allow our private sector to get us to the next step, not the governments overreach in preventing us from innovating,

and this is going to impact the poor more than its going to impact anyone else. When you start seeing our gas prices rise, when you start seeing a higher cost of energy, those that are that have felt the pinch the most by losing their jobs are going to pay for it the most. So we have got to keep them in mind as well, and when I look at an administration that talks about being for the working people and for the union, thats not true, were seeing it Steve all right lets see what happens Wesley real pleasure having you on Fox AMP friends on this Thursday.
