know we need to hold them to so it's it's an absurd contention by the political operatives of the e.p.a. after the break i'll tell you about an elected attempt by the tommy mafia to deal for millions of your eyes. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back and here's an interesting story for you european union funds are being harvested by an unexpected source after an investigation has claimed the sicilian mafia has been defaulting the plot of millions of euros through farm non subsidies shorted to pinsky now looks into the mobs 21st century tactics. rigs it may be officially done and dusted but for the even the headache of trying to balance its books without the u. case contribution is only just beginning now one area that has been earmarked is farm subsidies to support agriculture and livestock breeding at a cost of around $60000000000.00 euro every year it's the biggest expense for the e.u. and while farmers are up in arms at the me a hint there subsidies could b

the enormous price tag that comes with that i suspect that political operatives at the top of the e.p.a. which are directly from industry and the trump administration would suggest that. that it will improve and improve. public safety and such like that by reducing regulatory burdens and such like that that's absurd if they can't meet these very reasonable public safety and environmental regulatory standards and then they're not doing the best safest technology standard that we know we need to hold them to so it's it's an absurd contention by the political operatives that the e.p.a. still to come gender medical treatment for minors is in the spotlight across you more of states and america would look at that story after this short break. good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. want to be. too great to be crooks that's what the 43 of them all can't be good. i'm interested in the why is it. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to say proud just being educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many fin

e.p.a.'s natural estuary program. in my home state of california, the importance of a healthy water set and improved water quality has never been more apparent. in fact, the san francisco bay estuary drains more than 40% of our state's water. that's why i'm thankful to see several of my colleagues from california as original co-sponsors, including members of the committee, mr. garamendi, mr. huffman. at our june hearing the committee -- subcommittee learned about the ongoing sources of pollution of these 1,600 square mile estuary. simultaneously habitat destruction has forever changed the geography of the area. more than 90% of shoreline wetland and 40% of the total aquatic ecosystem has been lost. this new program office will concentrate federal efforts to address water quality changes and ecosystem health in the bay. this will improve the environment economy -- and economy from the bay area region that is home to eight million people and the annual g.d.p. of $.75 billion. i support h.r. 113

first, e.p.a. must maximize greenhouse gas emission reductions while minimizing costs to consumers and providing regulatory flexibility to industry. next, the chart basically prioritizing environmental justice. e.p.a. must consider under our legislation and protect front line communities. we know climate change disproportionately affects impoverished and disadvantaged communities, communities of color and indigenous communities. more often than not these communities are downwind from dangerous pollution located near industrial facilities or factories or located in areas already experiencing flooding and extreme weather fueled by climate change. this legislation, our legislation will prioritize input from investment in those communities. our next chart on the clean economy act prioritizes american workers. the clean economy act focuses on american competitiveness and on the american worker. our legislation compels e.p.a. to use american workers, domestic materials and strong labor standards to get t

been criticized for being non-circular and divisive along religious lines the aam aadmi party or the e.p.a. on the other hand focused on very local issues such as education and health care. as a result of an kids year old secured a 3rd term as chief minister of delhi but the victory for the a.a.p. does not sound a death knell for the b.g.p. across india you know look at us on and then we should just fall has more from demi despite a particularly divisive and high octane campaign nearing the more the is the party a jump up party has just lost an important local election i have with me political analysts are mr delhi just overwhelmingly wardak for the b.g.p. in general elections less than a year ago what does this defeat mean well i think you know one thing we have to understand is that this was a state election in 2019 and me that was a looks a by election where the main issue was where the people wanted that into modi back as prime minister or not in delhi it became whether people wanted back as chief minister or not and i think the the board reflects that people did want advantage of his

and then for clean air and clean water, it cuts 25% from the e.p.a. this budget is disgraceful in many ways. just as simply as the air our children breathe, the water they drink. just slash it. not important to us. and all the while, reinforcing what he's going to do on taxes. to continue his tax scam, adding more money, more debt, more national debt for our children to pay so we can give tax cuts to the high end, so we can say, see, see the market's up, well, you slashed taxes and do one thing and another. now, we want our economy fixing and we're happy when the indicators are positive, but let's not build that on the backs of our children and their future. dozens of groups, aarp, to young invisibles have come out against the bill and the aarp, representing 17 million seniors, wrote that. we are deeply concerned about the proposed funding reductions to medicare, medicaid, social security, nutrition assistance, caregiver support, housing assistance and other assistance for early -- for older americans. aarp calls on congress to protect these critical

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 did like that taxes. they didn't like the regulation and they began a coordinated effort to try to overcome a. lobbying sharply to increase deregulation began with the rule ferocity. there were no financial crashes in the fifty's and the sixty's because the regulatory apparatus or the new deal was still in place. as a pm to be dismantled under business pressure and political pressure. to get 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 wand and one half a $1000000000.00 all of this is quite safe as long as you know the government's going to come to rescue so it takes a break and instead of letting them pay the cost break and build out the banks like continental the biggest bailout of american history at the time that she ended his term with so the huge fin

he cuts e.p.a. funding by more than 25%. he cuts renewable energy funding, clean energy, like wind and solar, 75%. and cuts funding for climate green -- as house greenhouse gas monitoring. the president's budget even cuts disaster relief for fema by 12.-- $12.2 billion. and so much of in the disaster is caused by climate. the earth's on fire. antarctica has 64-degree record temperature this week. and what is the president's response? he douses the fire with lighter fluid of weakened pollution regulations and then proposes cutting the fire department. we know how much he cares about the oil companies. but his budget makes clear he doesn't give a hoot about the future of this globe and is fine leaving to our children and grandchildren a globe in much worse shape even than it is today. speaker pelosi. ms. pelosi: thank you very much, leader schumer. and for your leadership in fighting this budget. the budget -- our federal budget should be a statement of our national values. what is important to us as a nation should be reflect

from an e.p.a. notice my ass feels that athens needs to redouble its efforts to deal with the migrant unplugs. the majority of. migrants in lesbos are not asylum seekers they are. economic immigrants what we in ireland say is that the government should save guard the borders and also the government has. to go or north with the examination of the asylum applications and also the government has to start the issues with a new decision from the european court of human rights and it says that that any person that entered. in the area of sigint then the government has the right to deport them immediately so i think the government has to be more active on the issue of the patients. you know us democratic party leaders are being urged to group or out one candidates to prevent bernie sanders from getting the 2020 nomination seems big money donors are trying to pull the strings askew taylor has more. they say money can't buy you friends or happiness but might be true but they could just buy you the white hous

now at the margins in need to tire trading and equities business becoming increasingly slimmer as e.p.a.'s dropped nearly 30 percent last quarter why is morgan stanley choosing to invest particularly in this line of business. these guys are all doing the same thing this is a classic they're trying to buy assets or trying to accumulate assets which is what schwab did and what morgan stanley is are now because what they really want is that they want debt money that's on deposit because even though interest rates are. low right now that someday there are no up again and the big with the brokerage business ok they are money is made more on the overnight rate ok so they want to accumulate assets it creates more business that's why they give away so to speak true trading and things like that because again their big ticket is that money on deposit and the way continue to turn over align them to also invest for you through them to get other things and get parts of the game but the other the bottom line is it's the money on deposit who they want to be bigger and bigger which you're going to see

e.p.a. to church leaders in iowa are partial results are announced in the democratic caucus after a day of chaos. while on the eve of a vote expected to acquits the u.s. president's all of his impeachment to donald trump has come face to face with democrats who've been seeking to oust him from office is just given his state of the union address in the house of representatives the same chamber which he was in pain just last month or head of the speech there was an awkward moments with house speaker nancy pelosi will support the charges of abuse of power abuse of power and which actually can come. as against trump and he appeared to turn away from her and she extended his her hands when later nancy pelosi was seen tearing up a copy of trump's speech soon as the hour and a half long address had wrapped up he made no mention of toll of his impeachment cheering that address and stats trump uses 3rd state of the union as a rallying cry ahead of the november election speech was titled the great ame

and every department that is working on things that -- e.p.a. -- that ultimately reflect on public health. coverage is important. i think that coverage is probably dominated the debate a little bit disproportionately so i don't want to dwell on it too long. but i do believe it is necessary to ensure that everybody can get covered. that's the idea of the medicare for all strategy that we favor. that everybody would have access to a quality public plan. if it's low-income folks, then it will be subsidized so they don't pay anything out of pocket. as your income rises, we still make sure that it's never more than 8.5% of anybody's income to pay for premiums to get on an excellent plan. and i believe that we need to establish monthly out-of-pocket caps on how much somebody can have to spend on prescription drugs. the reason it has to be monthly is right now, even if you have insurance, a lot of times you have a yearly cap. and you see people delaying coverage or delaying filling in a prescription or getting a procedure so that they hit it in the right month. which makes no sense medically. of

under the current trump administration, a co-lobbyist runs the e.p.a. a pharmaceutical and oil lobbyist runs the department of interior. another lobbyist runs the d.o.d. a verizon lawyer runs the federal communications commission. a goldman sachs runs treasury. a kingpin runs commerce, a billionaire and so what you have here is a reflection of those folks that are completely disconnected with the american people. some of them are millionaires and billionaires who don't understand the. i represent the 13 district strong where we have in some areas some chronic poverty but also lack of access to food and we also face that we are front-line communities of doing nothing on climate change. we also house the worst zip code . look at the budget in itself. just gloss over it. you are talking about $1.4 trillion in tax give aways. nd 1.7 trillion in army of engineers. and my constituents are facing flooding from communities in dearborn heights. we have 920 billion in health care cuts. many of them, again, family members and those that have to take care of our ch

do you have an idea of just what kind of impact this is having on the e.p.a. ssion industry in general terms. it is a crisis for the aviation industry we spoke to and adnan that's just a couple of minutes and he said this is a serious matter but having said that the enda street has weathered something like this before that was the sauce outbreak back in 2320 years ago and that had a very significant saw a huge demand and a huge drop in demand for add passenger traffic but having the industry recovered it took a couple of months but it recovered and many analysts are forecasting the same thing and they don't know when this virus is going to come out they don't know when it's going to recover but they're fairly certain that this industry is going to recover having said that this comes at a really bad time for the industry last year. demand was slower than the previous year and as for cargo in 2019 it suffered its worst numbers in about 10 years so this really does not come at a very good time for the industry but it is a real industry and of course we're talking

information that was presented by the two secretaries of the california inspection agency and the california e.p.a. to a group of stakeholders last tuesday. it was kind of the biggest -- the very statement on the voluntary process. so i'll be presenting the information here. a lot of it, we're still delving into the background of it and what supports it. there are a lot of unanswered questions as well, but we wanted to share this with the commission so you had the sense of how the conversation seemed to be proceeding with the state. so we've been working on refining agreements. this is one of the statements of recovering fish populations than regulatory requirements and less social and economic combam intacts. the refind agreement that will be talked about will build a package that the state believes will be scientific and legal adequacy. we have collectively made progress towards securing the assets that are required. the state agency team performed a preliminary assessment in what they believe is needed for scientific adequacy to implement the bay delta update. the framework will be displayed in

i would immediately reinstate all the elimination of what trump has eliminated in terms of e.p.a. would make sure that we have 500,000 new charging stations in every new highway we built in the united states of america or repaired. i would make sure once again that we got the mileage standards back up which would have saved over 12 billion barrels of oil had he not gotten rid of it. and i would invest in rail. it can take millions of cars off the road if we have high speed rail. >> thank you, mr. vice president. i want to get the rest of you in on this. mayor bloomberg, let me read what you said. you said you want to intensify and u.s. international actions to stop the expansion of coal. how exactly are you going to do that? >> well, already we've closed 304 out of 530 power plants in the united states and we've closed 80 out of the 200 or 300 in europe. bloomberg philanthropy working the sierra club. that's one of the things you do. let's start at the beginning. if you're president, the first thing the first day is rejoin the paris agreement. this is ridiculous for us. two, ameri

everything he has done to dismantle the e.p.a. and other agencies, the corruption so rampant.n, it is beyond belief. anyone of these democratic candidates, bloomberg, sanders, klobuchar, would be 1000 times better. i personally would like to see a woman in office, and i think the best one for that would be elizabeth warren. host: let's go to remind calling from michigan on the democratic line. raymond, good morning. caller: good morning.

including the pfos action act which would require e.p.a. to enforce cleanup of contaminated sites and require a nationwide pfos drinking water standard. still much work remains to be done. we must stand up for stronger regulations, cleaner water, and healthier communities. clean drinking water cannot be another issue that the senate majority continues to ignore and add to their graveyard. we have an obligation to address this national health crisis. i urge the senate, including my own senators, to prioritize the well-being of our communities and to act swiftly on the passage of pfos action act. thank you, madam speaker. i yield the remainder. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from minnesota seek recognition? >> ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> madam speaker, in advance of the fifth annual missing and murdered indigenous women's memorial march that is taking place in my
