South Dakotas, appealing to South Dakotas, appealing to lawmakers after President Bidens decision last month to arbitrarily cancel the Keystone pipeline. That includes Tricia Burns, who says the hope she once felt to open a wellness studio in her hometown was erased with the stroke of President Bidens pen. Tricia joins us right now, along with South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson good morning to both of you good morning good morning, Tricia lets start with you all right. We heard the spokesperson for the President of the United States, Jen Psaki, say a couple days ago show us the data about the people whose lives were changed and how many jobs were lost as well. Tell us your story show us your data. You know we had forty five membership thats over three thousand dollars in monthly revenue that was gone

literally within forty eight hours. We had negotiated contracts with security companies that were coming in to secure the pipeline. That would have brought us another one hundred and twenty membership that way over doubles what we have just in our local town, Ainsley congressman. When you hear lease stories, you realize its not just the pipeline workers that lost jobs. We interviewed someone last week owns a hotel and the pipeline workers were staying in the hotel. Now she has no one staying there, shes, not making any money. You heard Trishas story. What else did you learn at the roundtable? One of the reasons that Americas economy generally overperforms other countries economies? Is? We had predictable and consistent regulation? President Biden really risks that this is going to have a chilling impact on investment, not just for large projects like Keystone XL, but all the rest of Americans that we want to be entrepreneurs, because you heard from Tricia.

We also heard from a family that owns a gravelle pit. They gravel pit, they paid seventy thousand dollars to buy a dump truck, so they could meet the orders from the pipeline. Those orders are gone. We talked to a gentleman who purchased homes fixed them up, so he could sell them and rent them to pipeline workers. The demand for those homes is gone overnight. The reality is this is not the way our of country should be doing business. It should be America first forget about your party Tricia when you saw that Joe Biden won. Did you think this was coming? I hoped it wasnt. It was something scary and it was something that was talked about daily multiple times a day. I had a pipeline one of the wives that was an employee of mine, and so it was a daily conversation. We were all very concerned about the future, but I had no idea that there was one executive order that would take the wind out of everything

well, and it certainly did congressman ask the question. We know that Joe Manchin has written a letter to the president asking him to reconsider north of a dozen state attorney. Generals have done the same thing. Is there any chance? He will say you know what weve looked at it and at this point were going to go ahead and go forward because its thousands of union jobs and its collateral jobs like Tricias right there. I think the one chance we have is not pour president for p to wake up one day and change his mind, but it will be for congressional democrats to put pressure on him. Ive got a bill im pushing it would basically take away the power of the president to be able to destroy a massive project like this. If we can get six Democrats in the house to support the Republicans on this bill, that would send an incredibly strong message to the president that we should not make these kinds of decades long decisions in an arbitrary and capricious way. Ainsley. Thank you both for being on with us,

Tricia well, say: prayers for you im, sorry that you lost this.
