Published | Video Starts at 18:22

We've got to get back to solving problems, getting permitting reform through Congress so that we can actually build again. And I hold Congress responsible for a lot of this. I just have to say Congress was supposed to be the most powerful branch. They're the ones that are supposed to make this happen. That was always intended under the Constitution. And when they don't, then. Then we have president stepping up. And then you get this, this, this ping Ponging effect. (18:22–18:28)
