EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss deregulation at the EPA.
Zeldin also discussed the armed man at Mar-A-Lago that was shot and killed by law enforcement early Sunday morning.
“What is your reaction to a shooter showing up at Mar-A-Lago holding a shotgun and a gas can?” Bartiromo asked.
“It’s infuriating. When does it end?” Zeldin commented.
“The people who lose their lives like my good friend Charlie Kirk. The people with the close calls like President Trump has now on multiple occasions. The people who have experienced physical violence. I mean, we settle our scores at the ballot box,” Zeldin said.
“For people to try to bring a shotgun and a fuel can to the President’s home at Mar-A-Lago to cause who knows what kind of damage. I look forward to learning more. It is infuriating,” Zeldin continued.
“Do you expect this rhetoric to stop anytime soon?” Bartiromo asked.
“To be brutally honest, I fear that the rhetoric is only going to continue to get worse on the left. I mean, they are desperate and in the search for power to ramp up an activist base, they are running out of words,” Zeldin explained.
“Let me turn to your portfolio, and what you have been able to do in terms of rolling back regulations. This is one of President Trump’s key tenets of his agenda, deregulation,” Bartiromo said.
“Tell us about that and its impact?” Bartiromo asked.
Zeldin explained that deregulation under President Trump has saved the United States over 1 trillion dollars from costly environmental regulations brought on by the previous Obama and Biden administrations.
“President Trump on day one signed an executive order telling me to do all the research, the vetting, provide a recommendation in the first 30 days of his administration,” Zeldin said.
“And pressed forward at Trump speed, announcing with President Trump in the Roosevelt room what is the largest act of deregulation in American history. 1.3 trillion dollars of savings,” Zeldin said.
