| 00:00:00 | AS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL PHILOSOPHY OF DEALING WITH A FREE MARKETPLACE. |
| 00:00:05 | THE GOVERNMENT IS THERE TO CREATE A PLAINFIELD -- PLAYING FIELD FOR BUSINESSES TO THRIVE IN A WAY THAT IS A AND CREATES OPPORTUNITY FOR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ENERGY. |
| 00:00:24 | I BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT HAS GOTTEN IN THE WAY IN A LOT OF RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT. |
| 00:00:29 | CLEARLY, WITH OFFSHORE IN DEEP WATER DRILLING. |
| 00:00:35 | -- AND A DEEPWATER DRILLING. |
| 00:00:36 | I HAVE BEEN AN ADVOCATE OF OPENING UP THOSE. |
| 00:00:40 | FOUGHT TO OPEN UP THE ALASKA WILDLIFE REFUGE. |
| 00:00:45 | HER OF IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP A CURRENT WILL FLOW COMING IN THE YEARS AHEAD, WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE WILL FOLLOW IN THE PIPELINE. |
| 00:00:55 | -- WILL FLOW IN THE PIPELINE. |
| 00:00:57 | THE OIL RESERVES ARE DEPLETING. |
| 00:00:59 | WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A KEYSTONE PIPELINE, WE MAY LOSE THE ALASKA PIPELINE. |
| 00:01:06 | THERE WILL BE INSUFFICIENT FLOWS TO KEEP THE PIPELINE GOING. |
| 00:01:10 | JUST TO KEEP EXISTING, WE NEED RESOURCES IN PLACE, WE NEED TO LOOK FOR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. |
| 00:01:18 | I AM NOT AN OIL MAN FROM TEXAS GOING OUT TO SELL AND MORE TO THE PUBLIC. |
| 00:01:24 | I WILL TELL THE TRUTH ON EVERYTHING. |
| 00:01:27 | TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IS. |
| 00:01:29 | HOW IT CAN BE SAFELY EXPLORED AND GRILLED. |
| 00:01:33 | HOW THAT CAN BE CRITICAL -- HOW THAT IS CRITICAL TO US. |
| 00:01:38 | THE SAME THING -- THE SAME THING WITH FEDERAL LAND. |
| 00:01:46 | WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF FEDERAL LAND IN FLORIDA. |
| 00:01:49 | I CAN TELL YOU THE PROBLEMS I HAD WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITH TIMBERING ON THE NATIONAL FOREST. |
| 00:01:57 | WE HAVE THE MOST PROPER WROTE -- PROFITABLE NATIONAL FOREST IN THE COUNTRY BECAUSE WE HAVE BLACK CHERRY, WHICH IS PRETTY VALUABLE WOOD. |
| 00:02:05 | WE HAVE THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, WHICH HAS PREVENTED US FROM TIMBERING ALL SORTS OF ANCHORAGE THERE. |
| 00:02:13 | IT HAS BEEN CORRECTED SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THE LIKE BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INABILITY TO ALLOW US TO CARE FOR OUR RESOURCES. |
| 00:02:25 | A FOREST, IN MY OPINION IS LIKE A GARDEN. |
| 00:02:27 | AND YOU HAVE GOT TO CARE FOR IT. |
| 00:02:29 | IF YOU LEAVE IT TO NATURE, THE NATURE WILL DO WHAT NATURE DOES, WHICH IS BOOM AND BUST. |
| 00:02:42 | WE WERE PUT ON THIS EARTH AS CREATURES OF GOD TO STORE THE EARTH AND WISELY, BUT NOT FOR OUR BENEFIT, BUT FOR THE EARTH'S BENEFITS. |
| 00:03:04 | [APPLAUSE] I CONSIDER THAT AN ARTICLE OF FAITH. |
| 00:03:07 | YOU MAY CONSIDER THAT AN ARTICLE OF REASON. |
| 00:03:12 | IF WE CANNOT BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE ENVIRONMENT, THEN WE SHOULD NOT LET THE VAGARIES OF NATURE DESTROY WHAT WE HAVE HELPED CREATE. |
| 00:03:20 | I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A POLICY ON FEDERAL LANDS. |
| 00:03:25 | FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LOT LESS FEDERAL LAND. |
| 00:03:28 | I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO REDUCE THE BUDGET DEFICIT, FOR US TO GET RID OF AND TURN OVER TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR A LOT OF FEDERAL LANDS I DO NOT NEED TO BE IN OUR INVENTORY. |
| 00:03:40 | [APPLAUSE] AND FOR THE PRESS, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YELLOWSTONE OR THE GRAND CANYON. |
| 00:03:46 | GO OUT AND LOOK AT A LOT OF FEDERAL LANDS THAT COULD BE SUITABLE FOR PASTOR, COULD BE SUITABLE FOR OIL AND GAS OR OTHER TYPES OF USES. |
| 00:03:54 | THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE IN THE FEDERAL INVENTORY. |
| 00:03:58 | AND THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY PROFITABLE. |
| 00:03:59 | AND IN THE CASE THAT THEY ARE, THEY ARE NOT PARTICULARLY WELL- MANAGED. |
| 00:04:04 | BLM IS UNDERSTAFFED AND DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE ADEQUATELY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE PLANS. |
| 00:04:12 | THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR US. |
| 00:04:16 | AND AGAIN, I COME AT IT FROM A BIT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. |
| 00:04:21 | I COME AT IT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF GROWING UP IN A LITTLE TOWN IN WESTERN OF SOLVING A. |
| 00:04:29 | THE PRETTY MUCH DO NOT MAKE ANY MONEY AT IT. |
| 00:04:32 | I COME AT IT FROM A COMMON-SENSE WAY TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GETTING THE BEST UTILIZATION OF OUR LAND, AND AT THE SAME TIME, KEEPING OUR PRECIOUS LAND SAY |
