deb haaland identifies as a native american.vian name and that stuck out to some of us who have scandinavian names. so, what is going on here? in fact, deb haaland is every bit as scandinavian as she is norwegian. she is america's first interior secretary since thomas served in the ford administration almost 50 years ago. in their quiet brooding way, the scandinavian community, we can tell you, is beaming with pride. little girls with names like larson and hansen will watch cabinet meetings and know that they too have a chance to oversee one fifth of the american landmass someday. when deb haaland speaks, she will be speaking for millions of norwegian americans, people whose ancestors have been here for more than 1,000 years. their voices can now be heard. deb haaland, hero which of the people. she is welcome in our sauna anytime. andrew kerr reported that andrew cuomo was under county nursing home deaths in may of last year. last year. but the media ignore that story. instead, they spent all their energy slobbering over andrew

one of the headlines yesterday, challenges galore await deb haaland. explain what some of those challenges are. >> well, deb haaland comes into the department of interior with very much different agenda from the trump administration. she's going to be looking at restoring national monuments, how far does the biden administration go on this pause, on oil and gas drilling on public lands? she's also going to have to deal with getting other appointees confirmed at the department and she's going to be overseeing several agencies dealing with huge issues from the treaty act to the endangered species act. it's a big, big job. and she's going to have a lot on her plate. >> big, big job that includes issues dealing with the united states public lands. i want to take viewers back to deb haaland's confirmation hearing. you mention oil and gas leases. it was republican senator john barrasso who was pressing her on that topic during one of those exchanges during her confirmation hearing. here's a bit from that. >> you have stated that you are, quote, wholeheartedl

deb haaland endorsed her. she said deb haaland shared stories about life on and off a reservation, which resonated with her. debbie and her husband said they would not miss deb haaland's confirmation hearing for the world. they signed on to a virtual watch party to support her. this was a billboard in billings, montana, before deb haaland's confirmation. quote, the first people of this land, the last to receive the vote. our first secretary of the interior. this was projected outside the interior department's headquarters in d.c., the night before her hearing. our ancestors' dreams come true. tonight, that dream became official. deb haaland confirmed with bipartisan support in the u.s. senate. she's now our nation's secretary of the interior. which means that president biden, more than 50 days into his presidency, is one step closer to a fully confirmed cabinet. biden is waiting for the senate to confirm five more cabinet level positions, including some of the big ones like health secretary, for example. the p

it is 20 minutes. >> let us now turn to representative deb haaland's to be secretary of interior. while i may not personally agree with her past statements and policy positions, she will be carrying out president biden's agenda. at her hearing, she confirmed she and the administration recognized our country will remain dependent on fossil fuels for years to come and then transition to obtain our energy future come through innovation, not illumination. she affirmed her commitment to bipartisanship, and need to work across the aisle to find the bipartisan solutions needed to address the diverse needs of our country. i was impressed by the strong endorsement she received by congressman don young, for whom i have the utmost respect and who has been in congress long enough to be able to read people and know their heart and soul. he testified on the productive working relationship he has had with representative holland and her willingness to work with him on important issues. that meant a lot to me and i hope it will resonate with my colleagues on the committee. january 6 changed me as

as former vice chairman of the house natural resources committee, deb deb haaland also brings a wealth of knowledge. she's been a longtime champion of climate action, creating good-paying jobs, and outdoor recreation. she played a key role in passings the great american outdoors act out of the house of representatives, successfully protected new mexico landscapes, and set ambitious goals for conservation with her 30-by-30 resolution to save nature. but of all the qualifications and accomplishments that deb haaland will bring to the department of interior, there's one that stands out to those who know her best -- her empathy. deb's experience as a single mother struggling to keep a roof over her family's head allows her to connect with her compassion to her constituents andness of every aspect of her work. it's fitting that she will serve under a president who has made empathy the trademark of his administration, and i have to doubt that secretary had aland will leave -- haaland will leave a historic mark on the interior and on the history as we know it. i look forward to continuing to

deb haaland, she is from new mexico when she deb haaland, she is from new mexico, she is a native americannited states. she is a long—time campaigner for the rights of america's indigenous people. she is an environmental campaigner and there has been a big campaign on her behalf by environmentalist to get her appointed to this role in the department of the interior. she did this with president biden on some policies. she does not support fracking. she does support the green new deal which includes some radical policies to tackle climate change and the reason her new appointment is that the department she will be in charge of controls and manages about one fifth of all the public land across the united states. if you look at the extraction and use of fossil fuels from those lands that results in about a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions from the us. she is going to be in charge of a key department at a time when president biden is looking at environmental policies. she is in a position to have her say and that is exactly what her supporters wanted. the nominees for this year's much—de

i want to take viewers back to deb haaland's confirmation hearing. it was for public and senator john barrasso who was pressing her on that topic during her confirmation hearing. here is a bit from that. >> you have stated that you are wholeheartedly against fracking and drilling on public lands. you have said that "we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground." you have also stated that you oppose all fossil fuel infrastructure. if confirmed, president biden is likely to ask you, specifically, whether he should extend the ban on oil and gas and coal on federal lands and waters. you said repeatedly that president biden's agenda is your agenda, but what this committee wants to know is how would you advise him? how will you act? your principal role as secretary of interior. how will you advise him, and will you encourage the president to extend the existing day -- the 60 day ban on leasing or o ot? >> yes, i will reiterate again, president biden's agenda would be my agenda if i am confirmed. i recognize that the roles are different. the role of a congres

madam president, i rise today to speak in support of an historic nomination of congresswoman deb deb haaland to serve as our nation's next secretary of the interior. this cabinet position is of great importance to our nation and especially to western states like mine, like ours, madam president, and i can't think of anyone more qualified to fill this position than congresswoman deb haaland, one of the first native american members of congress and a proven leader. let me start by telling you why this cabinet position means so much to nevada. in the silver state, over 50 million acres of land is managed by the interior department. that's over 70% of our entire state. people come to nevada from all over the world to experience our pristine and majestic public lands and monuments. these lands, they are not just a source of beauty. they're also a source of economic opportunity for nevada. and in previous administrations, we've seen efforts to put those public lands on the chopping blocks. but that won't happen under deb haaland's leadership. i've had the chance to speak with congresswoman
