00:00
okay let's go nice to see you mr. president and well first of all I think what you've heard
00:05
amongst this team is the leadership because it's given us the latitude really to collaborate
00:10
amongst each other not only in this room as Jameson mentioned we kind of get a break for
00:16
a couple of hours here but we stay in contact actually every other day that that we're working
00:20
for you and I think what that says is I was speaking to for instance the Farm Bureau of
00:25
Texas yesterday I'm not the AG secretary but it matters to the workforce I'm working with the
00:31
other secretaries let Nick and McMahon on education in the workforce investments that you've asked me
00:36
to do because as you've come in and negotiated these great repatriation of these companies and
00:40
the investments we're going to need that workforce to build back this economy and and I couldn't see
00:45
that more as I kicked off my 50 state tour we've been in five states so far we'll finish all 50
00:50
states by the end of the year and what we're talking to is the American workforce and these
00:55
companies about what the market demand is that's the difference that we finally have made that
01:00
connection what do they need how quick do they need it and how fast can I get these either
01:04
apprenticeships toward that million that we've put that lofty goal we've already added 80,000 new
01:09
apprenticeships already just since January so at the Department of Labor that tour has kicked off
01:15
and I couldn't be more honored to be on the ground and see my colleagues that we're passing in the skies
01:19
but we're on the ground together because we're all collaborating together one of the things that we're talking
01:25
about illegal immigration I have put states on notice I warned all 50 governors that if they
01:30
continue to reward illegal immigration by treating unemployment benefits as a handout they're going
01:36
to lose their federal funding as well we can no longer continue to give unemployment insurance
01:41
to illegal immigrants and so I've let those governors and I sent out that letter last week
01:46
we also eliminated discriminatory discriminatory DEI offices within the department specifically the
01:52
office of federal contract compliance programs most of our federal contracts were really just to
01:58
focus on DEI enforcement we were really punishing a lot of these companies if they weren't complying
02:02
they weren't going to have a federal content we've we've let go of that program completely
02:06
4.4 billion dollars in unspent COVID funds came back to the Treasury from the cares Act and billions
02:14
were collecting dust in these coffers in the state coffers we've asked for that money back to return to the
02:18
Department of Treasury we saved 250 million by canceling America last is what I call it foreign handouts
02:25
including funding for things like transparency and accountability for Uzbekistan cotton industry it
02:30
doesn't make sense that we're funding you know these foreign and thank you to doge and to the government
02:37
efficiency of what we have found with the fraud that we're seeing it's
02:40
it sounds like a comedy sketch and so again with the executive order preparing Americans for high
02:53
paying skilled trade jobs of the future that's our goal the trades is where we're being focused but
02:58
all companies and we want to make sure we're on hand for that and you know what I want to say is thank
03:05
you to government efficiency because you asked us when this transitions out will our departments and
03:11
our agencies continue that government efficiency and I think that we surpass that in the Department
03:16
of Labor out of our 14,000 federal employees 3,000 have taken the DRP and we offered it again so
03:23
over 21% have taken that offer and and we'll keep our critical workforce and show ocean wage an hour and
03:29
make sure our workers stay safe so with your leadership Mr. President I couldn't be more honored to serve I
03:34
know we were probably the last to know each other but we're getting to know each other well and and
03:39
the team that you have assembled is really an honor to serve with so thank you Mr. President
03:43
you're doing great thank you very much
