we think that that the funding especially that goes to epa is important.here are a nber of things that it can do. we think the most important thing is the funding that will go to states, indian tribes and communities that will do things like enable them to conduct community needs assessments to understand gaps in their programs so that they can fill that so that they can understand and adapt effective practices in the work that they're doing and also funding to states so that they can provide technical assistance to the communities. we think that by being able to leverage those resources, communities are going to be able to make lasting improvements in their recycling programs. the second thing that the government can do is to stay out of the supply chains for paper manufacturing, things like mpr -- things like epr which are well intentioned are in place in the us for things that are hard to recycle, mattresses, batteries, paint those sorts of things for products like paper and paper based packaging. the collection system is well established as well partic

let me briefly reach out to president biden's nominee to serve at epa.et with him earlier this summer and was very impressed. i believe he is an outstanding pick in leading epa and keep its programs consistent with the law. over 20 years of his distinguished career has been dedicated to public service across multiple departments in the executive branch. at his hearing he demonstrated the kind of poise, and forthright commitment to his mission that will make him an outstanding general counsel. i am proud to support his nomination and i urge our colleagues to record his nomination favorably to the senate. we will also be reporting a president biden's nominees for the chemical and hazard investigations board. let me say a couple of words about stephen, jennifer and sylvia. each individual brings a different set of skills and professional experiences that will benefit the work of the chemical and hazardous investigation board. stephen is a former administrator of chemical safety and pollution prevention. has dedicated a decade as an attorney and regulatory l

new york city, where i'm at now is the epa center of the new variant in the u. s. just on friday, there were 44000 new cases, reported a record throughout the entire pandemic. certainly some staggering number. thank you for the update. gabriel alexander live press in new york. and the 1st on the con case is being detected in the besieged, gaza strip. the carrier is a palestinian residence who was infected within the coastal territory. health authorities say that means and you very will now be widespread among gods is population of 2200000 people. israeli soldiers have injured more than $214.00 palestinian protest is in the town of burka north of nablus. that's according to the palestinian red crisen pensions have been escalating in the area since and israeli settler was shorted by 2 palestinians. on december 16, harry faucet report from berker, another night of violence in what's become in recent days, the most frequent point of friction in the occupied west bank is ready. troops sealed off the village of berker villages through rocks and burnt tires. the military

epa data shows up in the 1930s there's the hottest heatwave in the united states so anyone claiming this northwest wave is evidence of climate change, we are below the 30 year average amateur on satellites so that makes no sense. there's many areas of cold. if you look at all these factors, there is no climate emergency and then of course i quote scientists who look at the geologic history, we've had co2 many times higher with ice ages, 90 percent of earth history has had sea levels, lower co2 levels, higher co2 levels than current and essentially the earth was too warm to support ice and we're in the 10 percent coldest period of the earth geologically speaking and the 10 percent lowest co2 of the earth geologically speaking so i spend time explaining that concept. co2 is not the driver. there are hundreds of factors that drive line and change and the fact that government can impose that we're going to regulate this or shut down this and also somehow get better weather which is what they claim. senator schumer is saying if we done more on we know these hurricanes would be less severe. th

epa data shows up currently the 1930s with the hottest heat waved in the united states. so anyone claiming that this northwest heat wave currently is evidence of climateno change, lk at the 30 year satellite data. that makes sense. if you look at all of those factors there is no climate emergency and, of course, i y ao quit scientists to look at the geologic history we fed many time hires the ice ages with-90% of births history has had side higher co2 levels, -- lower -- higher than current and essentially the earth was too warm to support ice and where in the 10% coldest period geological speaking also in the 10% lower co2 come geologically speaking. i spent some time explaining that concept. co2 is not the driver. there are 100 factors that drive climate change any idea co2 the governmentct can impose we will regulate his or her band thr shutdown -- semi will get better weather, which is what they claim, senator chuck schumer saying if we done that on climate we would've had, the circuit would be lessla severe. that's modern witchcraft. i mentioned inic the book and go

of an eerie feel here in new york city, whereas we all know that it for a time, this was the global epa center of the pandemic in march and april and may of 2000 year 2000. so what we're getting now is we're getting a sense that this is coming back and we're getting this 3rd wave of arm now of this new variant. and we actually now have the 4th consecutive day here in new york of record. new infections is 23000 was just announced a short time ago by the governor. she says she's not going to make mass closures here in the state. they don't want to do that. they don't want to panic people, but certainly you can sense the urgency that this really is this 3rd wave, if you will hear there for about 4000 people in hospitals here in new york, that's way below where it was during the original peak, but still much higher than it was for many, many months previously. and you're getting the sense here now that people are very worried, you go out to the streets of new york and you see long lines, sometimes even hundreds of people waiting to get tested. and we're seeing this elsewhere throughout the

s. epa center of the corona virus pandemic, particularly with the henri cron variant. the numbers have been reached, skyrocketing, and it's just been the last week or so they've been going up exponentially. right during this busy holiday travel time. the issue here now is testing. everyone says testing is key to figure out who has on record. and the line here are very long. i'll step out so you can see a little bit. this is midtown manhattan on 42nd street. we're just a blocked down from a grand central terminal, one of the biggest trained terminals here in midtown manhattan. and you can get a sense of how long the lines are. we're seeing that the testing sites throughout the city. sometimes dozens, if not hundreds of people wrapped around the book. and if we pivot over this way, i just want to show you, you might see the tend to off and the distance there. that's another testing site. nobody is there right now because the folks in there are on lunch break, but down the block. every block here on 42nd street, there's a tent for testing, but it is still not enough. the

but it will have to wait for a couple of weeks in order to be sure epa actually, we don't know enough. they don't know enough to be worried, and we don't know enough to be relaxed at the moment. we very much hope that the vaccines bert, and prevent this a severe illness. however, we need 3 showed so far, rick, seen, in order to be effective. how to get the m belizean believe as if he liked vaccinated. it's a heck of a job, not on your country, it's. it's a world wide problem. it's going to be a very difficult job to motivate some of the, the people who don't want to be vaccinated. because they believe in fake news, which has spread things through another come through. so every managed a depend that mc without serious problems, you have more people who are reluctance to be vaccinate distance would believe in fake news by people's natural freedom of male. choose what they want to know on this thing in their arm. i suppose the flip side of that is all right, when you get your freedom taken somebody else's freedom away because of lot of times they can't get out even if they've been vaccin

and new york, as we all know in about march of 2020, was a global epa center of the krona virus pandemic. well, now, new york is the national epicenter of the army. kron variant 44000 new cases in 24 hours. is astonishing. quite frankly, and just within the united states, u. s. is averaging about 185000 new cases nationally. so the, in the last 14 days, the number 7 have gone up by about 55 percent. that's the bad news. the good news is the death toll within the u. s. is only going up by about 3 percent. so health experts are saying, well this is not good. well, it's very dangerous. this new variant, it is appearing like in other parts of the world that the vaccinations the vaccines are helping to prevent people from getting deathly ill. the hospital numbers are going up in new york, but they are still not nearly as high as they were. the death toll or the, or the hospitalizations as they were during the height of the pandemic in march 2020. with that said though, testing lines here in new york and elsewhere in the us are around the block. there is a shortage of testing. as people want t

new york city has become right now at this very time, the national epa center in the united states of the pandemic. all 50 states in the us have proven some cases of army crime. but here in new york city, it is worse than anywhere else in america. the big issue is testing. there is not enough testing here in the city or state to meet all of the demand. this is a state of 20000000 people and about half of which live here in new york city, and with the cases rising so exponentially over the last week or so, there is a huge demand for testing. as you can see at this test site that we're at here on 42nd street in midtown manhattan. the lines have been at times hundreds of people they've stretched for blocks in some parts of the city. and you can see that it's not just right here at this testing site, but they're trying to open testing site all over the city as fast as they can. in fact, if you look down a block here, you can see another one. they're just a block ahead. all of these sites just have opened within the last 48 hours or so. and even beyond that, another block, there are more t
