that will take a long-term commitment of the environment protection agency and of the whole agency. that is something people should expect. >> one of the things that they tell us is that they want a federal disaster declaration, so that federal funds can come in so they can get medicare, long-term health monitoring. i know the previous governor has asked for this. when i spoke with you last year, you asked president biden. will the trump administration declare a disaster here so that people can get the resources they need? >> the long-term health monitoring by the way is something we are focused on, i am personally focused on. something my senate office worked on, frankly disappointed about it administration was not willing to meet us halfway there. we will do a lot there and i think a lot could be done. on the disaster declaration, it's an interesting question. a disaster declaration may have been helpful 18 months ago. i don't know that it is still helpful today. i will ask the governor behind me, talk to lee about this, and say, is a disaster declaration still helpful? if the ans

but the environmental protection agency, what is your priority in terms of protecting our environment agency that is going to carry that mission out with you? >> our core mission is to protect human health and the environment. pillar one of our comeback initiative is about making sure that americans have access to clean air, land, water, top priority of president trump and a top priority at epa. there is a lot that we are doing exceptionally. last week i was from east palestine, ohio,, and what we're doing right now in l.a. is the largest wildfire response in the history of the agency with over 1200 workers on the ground, thousands of sites. president trump comes in and says you have 30 days to complete the entire phase one hazardous material work. that is a bold goal, it will get done within 30 days. there is a lot that we are doing that's great but i'll tell you what's important for us is to be in touch with what the american public said loud and clear last november. that is why our agenda includes helping to unleash energy dominance, permanent reform and making america the ai capit

environment on the communities that we live. it's important that we note that our efforts today works in tandem with this chamber's recently passed budget resolution. as chairman of the environmental protection agency -- environment and public works committee, i have long intended to stop the natural gas tax and we will continue to pursue this through the reconciliation process. today's vote on the cra provides all senators the opportunity to put our vote on record after witnessing the biden's epa bait and switch on the implementation on this misguided policy. i encourage my colleagues to support this cra that is essential to our mission of american energy dominance and reject this tax that will bolster our adversaries, increase energy costs on american families and put our energy future at risk. and i would like to yield back. but before i do that, i would like to thank my colleague from iowa to let me step in front of her to make my speech and i appreciate that and i know she will be supporting us. thank you. ms. ernst: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. ms. ernst: mr. president, thank you so much. for over a decade, i led the charge to expose government abuses, curb rec

whether it's, you know, again, the congressionally mandated responsibility of our agencies to regulate or to protect the environmentrotect labor standards, like there's all the ways in which those laws are being broken. there's also all the ways in which our labor contracts are being violated. and the unions are certainly pursuing those lawsuits. but i think it's worth taking stock that we're dealing with a congress that will do anything the president will say. obviously, the president and the billionaires that he's surrounded himself by, but also the courts have indicated that they're going to be deferential to the authority of the president. and i think it creates a real, you know, people describe it as a constitutional crisis because the absence of checks and balances. but i think there's one check left. and i think that's what organized labor has to bring to the table, which is the power of regular working people to make this a political crisis that they can't manage. and so in the weeks ahead, i think that we have to tell our stories about the services that we provide, you know, the human interest story about,

biden administration, involving the environment through the environmental protection agency.what you're talking about ultimately here is the government ordering. ordering is the key word here, a bank to freeze assets that no longer in the possession of the federal government. and in order to meet that. >> threshold. >> there is a line that you would have you would have to meet. right. and so she was not willing, she said that the evidence did not support writing a letter to the bank, telling them to freeze these assets. and that's why she sort of drew the line here. what the letter that i read, what it lays out is that she was, you know, willing to sign a letter essentially saying that there could should be further investigation here. but what it sounds like is that the fbi was going to be willing to send this to this letter to the bank, but that she and she said that, you know, there could be something more investigation looked into this. but, you know, if you step back for a moment, what you have ultimately is, according to her resignation letter, the deputy attorney genera

agencies competed against each other. today the bureaucracy would disparage that contest as duplication. i see a competitive market with multiple buyers and no single point of failure for the environment, we can enable decisive action. we understand the importance of great creative leadership. let's empower our people. i challenge you to name a comparable figure to that. and it is not for a lack of talent. we need to stop or rotating people every few years and give them the time and it the space to create. a budget is a plan and right now we are planning to fail. no private company to survive that. it would be completely out committed in the environment. that is what sets the pace for the industrial base. decision-makers in the building deserve to be treated like decision-makers with a pot of money. we should not be in any illusions on how this can be. you must mobilize talent around it. that is why i think this hearing is so valuable. i look forward to taking your questions. >> thank you very much. >> it is a daughter to discuss defense innovation and acquisition reform with you today. at the core of this discussion we must focus on ensuring america's ability to deter aggression and

emergency management and just the mission of the environmental protection agency is first to protect human health and the environment career staff members, they are absolutely thinking about what is the best way to protect human health along these spaces. they're going to need the support, though, of a administration who is concerned about people and the long term impact of these petrochemical chemical hazards onto the communities and populations where they're present. >> heather mcteer toney, thank you so much. appreciate your time. well, pope francis is taking aim at vice president j.d. vance in a new rebuke of the trump administration. the pope, criticizing the administration's plans for mass deportations of migrants in a letter to u.s. bishops, warning it will end badly. in that letter, he also addressed vice president vance's attempts to invoke a catholic theology, known in latin as automeris, to defend the migrant crackdown. the vice president says it's about loving one's own family, neighbor and community before loving those outside of their country. the pope wrote. this christian love is not a concentric exp

agencies, that makes us less safe. we're in a heightened threat environment. elon musk doesn't have time.if he is cutting people in these critical positions. god forbid that we have a terror attack because we don't have the proper law enforcement officials in place trying to prevent that. >> i wanted to get your i want to get your view because you're an air force veteran. um, continuing his purge, president trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. general cq brown, who's a air force general, as well as well as several other top officials. this comes after hegseth pete hegseth, the secretary of defense, has repeatedly accused general brown of promoting dei diversity, equity and inclusion in the military, and hegseth has even questioned whether he got promoted general brown just because of his race. but just as a counterpoint, here's a recruitment ad from the air force that general brown made a few years ago. >> when i'm. >> flying. >> i put my. >> helmet on. >> my visor down, my mask up. you don't know who i am, but. >> i'm african. >> american, asian american. >> hispanic. >

are agents who said to me privately, this is a busy threat environment for the fbi today, including terror threats. and you now have the agency kind of eating its own, as it were, as it goes through this process here. are democrats doing enough to make the case that this purge is a national security issue? >> well, the challenge is, is that so much is coming at democrats right now. i mean, we're about to have a press conference. >> with trump and netanyahu. >> we don't know what he's going to say there. he's already said some problematic things in the oval office right before this press conference. elon musk is in treasury right now having access to millions of americans data. we don't know what's going on there. we're having confirmation hearings come out with problematic folks who don't have full fbi background checks. and people moving out of committee that have real threats to national security. and then we have the president of the united states going and going and attacking fbi agents because he's mad because he's mad that they did their job and investigated an attack on our capitol. so we do need to be able to walk and

agencies and public housing residents. they are seeking ways to control crime and assure decent quality of life in their communities. one factor the physical environment what a public housing complex like. another factor the type and extent of law enforcement. whether the police are remote from tenants or work closely with them. and still another the amount intensity of tenant involvement. all these factors a role in boston. this is many people visualize when they think public housing they're dirt stark concrete, ugly brick temporary warehouses poor people. then when mission hill was first built in 1952, it was beautiful, but it was at least clean, relatively safe. but that was before an epidemic of drug abuse destroy the tenant's way of life, the milkman used come in. sharon's men used to come. i mean, everybody used to come to your door and sell this and that. it was really nice. it was a mixed neighborhood. we had blacks and whites. it was real pretty at the grass, everything. this place clean and then you got the drug problems. they robbed the mailman. they'd rather share basement. the gangs just started ripping them off, and they stopped coming.

environment is important for your health but he does not have the broad range of skills necessary for this job. host: management skills, you cited that. guest: hhs is almost a $2 trillion agency with 80,000 employees and 13 operating divisions. it covers everything from before you are born to when you pass away. it is complex. and he at most has managed a couple of organizations on their board at their peak with a $30 million budget which is a rounding error in the budget for the department of health and human services. host: critics of rfk junior believe he does not know how medicare and medicaid work. do you share that concern and what do you point to from his testimony? guest: absolutely. he confused medicare with medicaid. medicare is our nations program for seniors, people over the age of 65 and older. medicaid is one of the many programs that we have for people whose incomes are around 138% of the federal poverty level. it does not have premiums. it does not have very many copayments if any. sometimes you have to pay a copayment for medication but it is like one dollar or two dollars. he talks disparagingly about the clinical outcomes from medicaid programs. it turns ou

environment and the mission that has been entrusted to us. i believe that va's mission is the greatest of all federal agencies. the goal of the current administration, flurry of executive orders regardless of whether it's eliminating telework or enacting hiring freezes or potentially replacing us at 1 to 4 ratio is ultimately forcing federal employee reduction so as to turn more va care over to the private sector with the results of diminishing the quality of care that we internally can provide because if you have 3 of 4or nurses leave despite being on excluded list, these nurses can go to another job but under va policies, manager wills not be allowed to hire enough nurses back quickly enough at the rate enough in order to replace them. 75% of the members reported that they need more administrative staff, 77% reported vacant positions that they have not recruited. these will only make things worse. vacant positions need to be funded and filled. to fill the need of the population, to fill the need of aging vietnam population. [applause] >> and now mark who is the ranking member -- we work closely together. >>

environment. and what i believe is intentional infliction upon the dedicated public servants in my in my agency. >> you mentioned a phone chaos. so? so tell us about that. >> just a phone call. that just a phone call. they can't get into their computers. they are. they haven't been given received any documentation. what is interesting about this is that many of my colleagues reported receiving to their personal email addresses, offers, uh, for this deferred resignation. so the agency has our personal email addresses, but yet they are not receiving to their personal email addresses or to their agency email addresses. even a written letter saying that they are terminated or explaining the reasons why. >> so tell us a little bit more about this, because it's a little bit confusing to track about exactly what's going on. do you have anyone who like, for example, accepted the buyout but are still receiving this letter? >> we do. um, so we have one employee, uh, a disabled veteran who accepted the buyout because of the spamming to his personal email address with the deferred resignation offer. he accept

you engage in this particular political environment, particularly when you see what's happening to his colleagues at, you know, in various departments and agenciesd the country, not just in washington, d.c, because i think that's an important narrative, which is what i really liked about what miss kleeb said that they're doing. they're they're they're going to take this action not to the doorstep or the political office of an elected official, but to those corners of the community that are directly impacted by the decisions that are being made by elon musk and donald trump, that are supported by republicans who are not defending those local business owners, those local efforts to provide services to the people in their district. so i think that's going to be very, very important. and the fact that hakeem has decided and made it very clear to the members, democratic members, invite those folks to sit in that room, to be in the room and to listen to this president brag about displacing them and making their lives miserable. i think that's going to be an interesting strategy. it'll be interesting to see how republicans respond to it. >> march 4th i
