You're cheering him on, but you can't show him enough respect to learn his name?
I guess I can't complain too much, because I'm about to call both of them blithering idiots who don't have even the slightest idea what the f*** they're doing.
Executive agencies can't just make things up and roll them out as regulations. The laws are written by Congress with the intention of allowing agencies to fill in the details, and write extensive rules. Many of those specific rules are subject to years of litigation.
Once those rules are in place, the President, or the head of a non-existent government agency (that will probably just wind up being some sort of advisory committee) can't just arbitrarily roll back regulations.

So yeah... Don't get your hopes up. And his name is "Ramaswamy," by the way.
