will get to your thoughts in a minute. the speaker of the house kevin mccarthy from california earlier this week released a video announcing hr one the lower energy cost act here is what he had to say. >> every piece of legislation is a sign of what a person wants to do. most of the numbers are chronological but as speaker i get to pick which bills are assigned the numbers one through 10. as a way to show how it the legislation is. i just announced hr one, our top priority that has a real shot at becoming a law. it is called the lower energy cost. it will due to big things. first, restore american energy leadership. how? by repealing taxes and overregulation on american energy producers so we can lead the world providing clean, affordable energy. now second, make it easier to

build in america. every time we need a pipeline or road or a dam. in average it takes five years and millions odollars in cost get added to the project to come by with washington's process. that is way too long if we want to compete against china. we can streamline peitting and still protect vm varmint. that is the goal we are making mber one. host: the speaker of house on the republicans fst bill they have introduced on the new congress. this morning, we ask you which party do you trust on energy and climate. you heard the speaker they are saying this bill has a good chance of becoming law. politicos headlines read that the senate majority leader chuck schumer slammed the houses bill and said it is a nonstarter in that chamber. here is what he had to say.

>> it is not difficult to see that the republican proposal is nothing more than a wish list and masquerading as an energy package. noerious energy package would got imptant environmental safeguards on fuel project while leaving ounecessary permitting forms. including clean transmission and energy projects online rather than prepare for the future, republicans wish list with lock americans into expensive, erratic, and dirty energy urces. the so-called energy plan would affect our tnsition into cln, affordable energy. it shows the impact that the republicans -- big oil has on republicans. it seems like the package was almost written by big oil. the so-called energy bill is dead on arrival in the senate. dead on arrival.

and i would s to my colleagues, we n still get something ne. fortunately, many democrats and republicans understand we need bipartisanship to have a real energy pacge. as we speak, there are talks happening in good faith about the possibilitieof a permitting deal. i strongly, strongly support both sides working togher to provide real energy bipartisan package. not bipartisan tt republicans have introduced. host: the majity leader in the senate chuck schumer on the republicans energy bill. we are getting your pots on which already you trust on the ise of energy -- getting your lots on which party you trust on the issue of energy. the bill would lift restrictions on the import andxport of liquefied nural gas and eliminate royalties that companies pay to extract fossil

fuel from federaland and water and speed federal permits. and on this you could see bipartisan mark and the possility that it could get through the senate because that is being pushed by senator jo manchin the democrat of west virginia. mentioned moved to attack permitting proposals in the annual defense built last year about the efforts crumbled. and in lawrencevle, georgia. republican let's hear from you first on this. which party and why? caller: i only trust the republicans i never trust democrats because of -- they've got all these crazy ideas and may have to include them in everything else. our liabilities are bigger now than our assets. and in our schools, -- host: we are talking about

energy and climate specifically that. caller: with energynd climate where they learn that stuff -- i will not bring the up but i'll tell you this if we do not get more energy the price of gasoline will stay like this and poor people will not be able to drive their cars. i do not think that is fair to the people at the bottom. host: alright and in georgia here is rob in california hands down democrats have failed on inner decent day one with biden. prices on natural gas, gasoline, and electricit have spiked. that is not the biggest concern of americans. do you agree or disagree with him? and on everything he said we want t hear from you this morning. democrat, republican, and independent is how we are divining the lines. re is theew york times headlines recently on how biden got from noore drilling when he was running from -- for president to backing a huge

project in alaska. i want to show you what president biden had to say in town hall in new hampshire in 2020 making a client pledge to permit new drilling on public land. >> a quick question on how you feel about drilling in antarctica? >> completely against it. i think i'm thonly o running who has been to the arct circle. i've been there and i watched when i went up there and went up in helicopter to the north slope and saw what is going on. i saw what was happening as the glaciers begin to lt and how -- there is a lot going on up there. it is a real gigantic problem. by the way, no more drilling on federal land period. period. period. but the arctic circle is a disaster. a big disaster. host: that was psident biden

back in 2020 with the new yo times article they write the approval of the project hadhe administrations approved to the fossil fuel development. at this point, the congress has forced mr. biden to si off on limited oil and gas releases. below would be one of the few projects he has approved freely without a court order or coressionalandate. it comes after the international agent the -- said the government must stop approving thoil project if the plan is to avert e most catastrophic impact to climatchange. the administration made the internal calculations that it did not want to spike conocophillips. and it was approved under the trump administration. conocophillips has held the drilling site for more than two decades and the administration attorneys are refusing a permanent could trigger a lawsuit that would cost the government as much as $5 biion.

conocophillips was looking for five permits and the biden administration negotiated it down to three. still with reports, it allows conocophillips to drill for 90% of the oil that they were hoping to get. at the white house, yesterda the white house press secretary adess president biden's decision on allowing this project go forward. >> president cap his word wh he -- where he can by law. that is important to note. and as the interior department says some of the company -- says that it is granted by prior administrations. the company has a legalight but the departmentsptions are limited when there are legal contracts in lace. for example, the solicitor under clinton said they have lease rights and that cannot be ignore

that is in the favor of development. i will leave it there. the president is delivering the most aggressive climate agenda in u. history. that will be his continued commitment to the american people. host: the president's white house press secretary yesterday. which party do you trust on >> we are going to break away to the house about to gobble in for a brief session on this friday -- gavel in for a brief session on this friday. the speaker pro tempe: the house will be in order. the chair lays before the house a communication from the speaker. the clerk: the speaker's rooms, washington, d.c. march 17, 2023. i hereby appoint
