e.p.a. and d.o.t. are issuing a final action that will establish one set of national fuel economy standards. let me be clear. our goal from the beginning was a 50-state solution. i met with carb three times since taking the lead at e.p.a. over a year ago. but despite our best efforts, we could not reach a solution. we embrace federalism and the role of states, but federalism does not mean that one state can dictate standards for the entire country. to borrow from louisiana attorney general jeff landry, cafe does not stand for california assumes federal empowerment. so we are moving forward with one national fuel economy standard. we believe the law is clear. no state has the authority to opt out of national fuel economy standards and no state has the authority to set its own fuel economy standards that impact human safety, the environment and commerce for the rest of the country. one national standard will provide much-needed certainty to the automotive industry and it sets the stage for president trum

as e.p.a. administrator andrew wheeler notes, this is an effective and innovative program to improve air quality across the country. in fact, dera funding has proven a cost-effective tool to help communities meet their air quality implementation plans. congress has long supported this program. which at first re-authorized in 2010, with strong bipartisan support, and even after that authorization, pired in 2016 -- expired in 2016. this bill will ensure the good work to enhance cleaner technology will in fact continue. i would urge my colleagues to support this legislation and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from illinois is recognized. mr. rush: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material 1768.s bill, h.r. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. rush: mr. speaker, i yield myself such t

and she understands all the loopholes within the e.p.a. to advise her organization of how to get through safety issues another example is terri medley here's a person who is an administrator at the u.s.d.a. and at the f.d.a. and now serves of the director of regulatory and external affairs of to pont corporations agricultural enterprise you can also look at someone like clayton uter who is also at the u.s.d.a. and was a u.s. trade representative and he's on the board of my kitchen which is a wholly owned subsidiary of dow chemical but perhaps for the most egregious ones is michael taylor who was appointed by the obama administration prior to joining as deputy director of foods at the f.d.a. he was actually the head of science policy for months anto and the list goes on you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies i mean this kind of collusion is reprehensible and it's amazing that the legal infrastructure even allows it. the e.p.a. won't bancorp pyra font's r

environmental protection agency the e.p.a. . in the 190-1990 s. the e.p.a. decided to just go along with monsanto and overruled some toxicologist that was very controversial and in the final decision and which e.p.a. determined they would classify glyphosate as not likely to be carcinogenic some of their own scientists refused to sign off on that. so carefree lead elimination thanks to round up. it's a sure shot here as long ago as 1996 ads like this one were branded misleading by the new york state attorney general. by model concerned was you know the broad advertising claims that months on to was advanced in those days that somehow the roundup product was entirely safe biodegradable. you know safe for pets and children. and you know less dangerous than table salt we knew otherwise frankly they were prohibited under federal law from making claims like that they knew the dangers of roundup but yet they were trying to sell to consumers in new york and in other states a different story. ridgway illinois. while monsanto was forced to alter advertising in the yo

i'll support the efforts of administrator wheeler, e.p.a., never thought i would be saying a lot about that. and secretary chao, and right home in my own district we are putting out a 54,000 acre forest fire. you want to talk about air quality, year after year, hundreds of thousands of acres of forest burn in the west. i realize that's a different building down the street with the usda and forest service. they are working on making things better. and also this migrant -- migratory emissions that come from other areas that affect our state, too. forcing us into our little caves, our little tiny cars, is not going to change the situation for my constituents, for californians, and certainly to have the state of california and the california resources board dictatorial policies going towards the rest of the 50 states. again, my people plead for relief from car, put reasonable regulations back in place. i hope this administration does not give up at all on fighting car -- that's all california seems to want to do is fight us here in congress and this administration. every day they think up

e.p.a. . a few days later the sample arrives in the german city of time where g e p a has its headquarters set up 40 years ago in a small church office the organization now has a turnover of more than 100000000 euros a year. but g.e. e.p.a. isn't concerned about profits its shareholders are exclusively church organizations world g. e.p.a. wants as much money as possible to flow back to producers in the countries of origin. procurement manager francisco pena is about to test a sample from uganda. the pre-packed coffee in uganda will only be dispatched if she gives the green light. as an expert she travels regularly to africa and discusses cultivation and quality standards with the partners. nothing works without mutual trust. him and healthy among the think of what we have very long term contracts with our trading partners some 12 to 14 months into the future so we're buying coffee on paper that doesn't even exist yet is forgotten. here the coffee's origins can be traced back to the individual

i would love to see trump's e.p.a. emboldened and take action.gest headline so far for the trump e.p.a. cleaning up liberal cities. can you imagine that? unbelievable headline, juan. >> dana: what do you think, juan? >> juan: imagine if donald trump realized the damage that coal does to the environment? what we do about coal minors? >> jesse: how about the environment in san francisco, juan? >> jedediah: that's a pivot, juan. >> juan: i have such a disconnect on this issue because i think homeless people should not be used as political pawns. >> jesse: me either. >> juan: if you are mentally ill and an addict those are illnesses. people say these people made bad choices in life. they are bad people. they are biting somebody. you know what? these are really tragic. >> jesse: we want to give them help, juan. >> juan: you should give them help. has the president come out there with ideas or solutions? has he said mr. mayor or mr. governor, i have a better idea. wife don't we try this? no. i think the best idea he had was hey i have a building over h

use by the federal government because of evidence that they are harmful to human health in 2000 the e.p.a. bancorp pyra fos in many household products like insecticides after research showed it cause nausea in dizziness especially in children who later studies found children exposed prenatal lead to the past decide how to increase the odds of developmental and attention disorders. is however authorized for use for agricultural purposes and it's still used massively for that reason basically the federal government has granted syngenta and pioneer the right to test the sides here on this island outside of what the label mandates states including hawaii started to pass some of their own laws to regulate these open air field test sites and as this kind of patchwork regulatory framework came into being they said oh we better go out to the feds and design something that works for us when you look at what's happening on the west side it's mainly made. and working communities of color that are being most impacted and a lot of the lands that these chemical companies operate on are state lands whic

the best goalie the tribe and ministrations e.p.a. is rolling back clean water protections so what one stood for environmental protection agency now stands for environment poisoning that's here to explain is our water reporter a correspondent i only go by. what he found well lead to prepare for this report i went skinny dipping in a river near the new jersey turnpike and i thought i grew gales down layer but it turns out i'm just an anatomically correct woman. with a very good are but i don't get it if it's not killed then how come i always get plastic strolls stuck up there where it all. ok we switched. to a switch to clean water act please which are the right i guess obama expanded clean water protections to not only include larger body is like gold and rivers but also tributaries wetlands and even ditches connected to a water supply. so you see it's a slippery slope literally soon we'd have protected puddles bathtubs porta potties protected drool on your pillow semen in your sock. and of course we'd have federally protected slipper

caller: back in the 1970's, i went to school to get my certified operators license for the e.p.a.. certifiedass b operator and responsible charge for not one that two -- not one chicago.uburbs in when i went to school, i was told by all the instructors, if there is any type of water contamination in the areas that you are responsible for, and they traced back that it was because of your incompetence or your ineptitude, or your inability to get water samples every month, and something like that happened, i would go to jail. well, that stuck with me the entire time that i was a certified water operator and responsible charge. we never, ever had any problems whatsoever with our water supplies because i was very, very set on getting these water samples when they were supposed to be taken, sending them to the e.p.a., and within one or two days, we would get the results of these water samples and get an ok from the e.p.a.. so during that time, there was one suburb were the certified water operator was putting addresses down for getting water samples, but he was actually getting all the w

the e.p.a. has oversight when they release a sight for general public use, they have a risk range for cancer, and it's 10 -4 to 10 -6. when we counted the wipe, it's a simple conversion where you count the units, and we ended up getting the same units that our detector counted out. if you were to take the e.p.a. conservative value of 1 in a million and convert it to d.p.m., for alpha contamination, for plutonium, it would have to be 40 d.p.m. for there to be contamination in the home. for strontium, you had to have 5,280 d.p.m. in the home before you hit the -6 conservative risk range. we did a total of 229 desk wipes. not one dust wipe approached the 40 or the 5,208 d.p.m. values. therefore, we determined that there was no health and safety risk to any of the homes or artist studios. we did mail out individual results in june to all residents and the artist community, and no one had any findings of health and safety risk. questions? >> we're going to ask the speakers first if they have any ques

these are just jury verdicts we refer to the evaluations of regulators it was on april 30th that the e.p.a. confirmed that the active ingredient life estate is safe of the canadian authorities did the same as the german federal institute for risk assessment also did the same and for us these are the conclusions that count and on which we base our operations on a phone your health and how do you explain the fact that despite these decisions the courts have reached the opposite conclusion and are now imposing huge fines on monsanto or rather bayer to reason we're actually involved turn this into a kind of a scripted leaves are not legally binding verdicts they are preliminary judgments that we are appealing again. and also you have to distinguish between these court proceedings and the licensing procedure which is an independent process. we're not going to rely on the verdicts of juries which as we know can be very emotional and skillfully manipulated. zip in which you and i could see if she could shoot that's why we are appealing and we know we'll be proven right by the scientific data. min

and the e.p.a. to come up with a standard based on the health scientists available and other departments that deal with the e.p.a. >> at what year? >> 1998. and then the agencies that came up with those standards i've continued to review their own standards. >> good evening, welcome. >> so for reference, the standards set have been reviewed in 2013 as paul said, this past two months. in 2013, they released notice of rulemaking detailing and clarifying some of the methods that people have been determining as fcc compliance would have to determine. >> sorry to interrupt. that was 2013. we did not have 5g at that time and i don't believe we had 4g. given the standard has for the equipment has changed so drastically, in recent years, why isn't there something that is -- in 2013 my daughter was in third grade. it's not a new generation because it isn't based on generation. back in 1996, we were just around 2g area. the center is based on frequency. the actual part of the electro magnetic spectrum that th

we've never really seen in the last 20 years so there are day to day issues of making sure that the e.p.a. the environmental protection agency is working and people are drinking clean water to issues related to health care and the safety of millions of americans in schools and shopping malls and so not to put too greater a point on on the damages that this could be if it's not done well and quickly but there are some concerns about is this where government should be spending its time for democrats should they just be trying to get a better candidate out there. and how is this about bipartisan and terms of getting bills across the table that could improve the lives of daily citizens we're grateful to many thanks to you for being with us robert good job professor at lancaster university in the u k. from one and battled leader to another british prime minister boris johnson has arrived in london to face an angry parliament as it's set to reconvene on tuesday supreme court judges ruled that johnson's decision to send m.p.'s home earlier this month was unlawful it was suspended for 5 weeks in

i know there was a whistleblower at the e.p.a.ed to blow the whistle on lead levels very early on and he was discredited. this is something that we have seen throughout the entire crisis, when you have scientists or medical professionals who come with evidence suggesting there is led or bacteria in the -- that there is lead or bacteria in the water, and in each case, government officials have not taken it at face value. so the special prosecutor assigned to the case charged 15 people over the course of three years. he got the them cases that former director of michigan department of health and the chief medical executive, they were both charged with involuntary manslaughter for the legionnaires rick. -- of those cases were bound for the legionnaires outbreak. both of those cases were bound over to a jury trial. that was deemed to be a success as far as the criminal prosecutions go. thever, last november, political landscape in michigan changed a lot. in you attorney general came in and actually fired the former special prosecutor

administration to get the consumer safety legislation safety and health regulations in the workplace the e.p.a. the environmental protection agency. business didn't like it of course they didn't like that taxes. they didn't like the regulation and they began a coordinated effort to try to overcome it. lobbying sharply increase deregulation began with the rule ferocity. there were no financial crashes in the fifty's and the sixty's because the greater the story apparatus of the new deal was still in place. as a pm to be dismantled under business pressure and political pressure. needed more and more crashes. and it goes on through the years. seventy's sort of starts begin. eighty's really takes off congress was asked to approve federal loan guarantees to the auto companies about the want and want to have a $1000000000.00 all of this is quite safe as long as you know the government's going to come to your rescue so takes a break and instead of letting them pay the cost break and build out the banks like continental the biggest bail out of american history at the time that she ended his term with
