and thank you, epa.ytic converters on cars, the international world, the epa would now say let's take a for it and stick it in it because it's done. the drop raise and bureaucracies never say that this is done. politicians keep adding new rules and then they applaud themselves for doing that. >> i'm really proud of president obama for these epa regulations and for the strong stand that he has taken on climate change at home. >> another person happy with the new rules once more is daniel weiss from the league of conservation voters. and shuttle jonathan, why not? do you not want a clean environment? >> of course i do, but we make the mistake of assuming that the way that we do this is just adding another regulation. >> isn't enough enough already? >> welcome i don't hear anyone complaining that things are too clean. millions of americans live in the metropolitan areas where the air can cause respiratory wellness. second, we have a lot of water that needs to be cleaned up and we really need to deal with cl

how will the epa do this? by increasing electricity prices in the absence of regulatory relief from the nrc and the epa, which is not happening, the only way to keep a marginal nuclear plan in business is for it to be paid more for its power. the only way the epa can do that is by pushing the prices up. the second thing that we know is that this rule will end up with the united states looking like germany where the poor and the business community alike are reeling under the high electricity prices. their prices are now three times what they are in the united states. and this is something the administration is doing even though the american people really don't care about this. talk about all the people joining in and saying that global warming is happening and science is over. they say that because there's nothing else they can say. we've already had this before our united states senate many times. it's been resoundingly defeated by a larger margin each time it comes up. it's come up four times. and so that's t

the epa not to overreach, congress doesn't trust the epa. and at that point in time, i pointed out the rule should be withdrawn, plain and simple. and the epa should start over. what we had in our committee hearing in science was we kept hearing words like confusion, uncertainty, misunderstanding, clarification throughout that hearing. and this was democrats and republicans alike. i would also like to point out we all know about gridlock in washington. there is only one agency that unites democrats and republicans, and that is distrust of the epa. your agency has united us where it's very hard to do so. >> please don't talk -- don't represent me, okay? >> well, here's what i can say factually to our rarnking membe. a majority of congress, a majority of congress. 240-plus members, republicans and democrats, signed a letter that i authored to the epa saying we don't trust you, withdraw the rule. that was a majority of the members of congress. and your agency has continued to disrespect congress to go down your own road, and again, continuing t

these epa rules will allow the u.s. to engage in clean energy job creation that will benefit all of creation. global warming is a moral issue. it is a security issue. it is an economic issue. it is the challenge of our time. we must rise to meet it. thank you. next, ukraine's foreign minister talking about the situation in his country. then a house hearing on north korea. live at 2:30, speeches by the candidates running for the u.s. senate seat in kentucky.

the epa does have the authority. the law says so and the supreme court has said so and that should be put to rest. given that fact, the agency has decided, properly in my view, that it should act now to reduce carbon emissions to improve the quality of our air and as part of an international effort to address change. for the united states climate , change is not just an environmental issue or economic issue. climate change has very real implications or our national security. those concerns must be an important part of any discussion that takes place. we all know the earth's climate is changing and human activity although not solely responsible , and we should freely , acknowledge that is what , contributing to the change and increasing the risk will push the environment beyond the point of which we can repair it. and we should know that once one is contributing, one has an obligation to be part of the solution. that is what the epa is trying to do. there is honest disagreement about aspects of the agency's powerplant

the epa does not run this country. you are accountable to the people for the best interest of this entire nation, and i think that you -- i think the congress should never have approved this and that's one of the problems you face. the epa has proposed emission target for alabama which would require 27% reduction in the rate of co2 emissions relative to 2012 levels. it reaches a target by assuming that it is technically feasible for alabama to retire 10 million megawatt hours of coal-fired generation capacity which is significant. increase natural gas generation by an equivalent amount, generate over 14 million mega watt hours from renewables as well as preserve existing -- existing nuclear capacity, and not an increase. so, first, you've been talking about consulting. did epa consult with the state of alabama about those assumptions achievable assumptions? >> you know, we have been working with both the energy and environmental regulators in every state. i cannot name you specifically whether or not we've had individu

in terms of process, the epa d. serves credit for its outreach effort which was unprecedented and the duration and scope. basal input from the groups especially state and local air pollution agencies and was in the keakey interest and expertim other stakeholders such as state energy officials and utility commissioners that remain ongoing. further they not only engage in the discussion that listened very carefully to what was said. we asked for the limits that reflect the state circumstances. the proposal includes the state specific goals based on the state and regional factors. we ask for flexibility. the proposal addresses flexibility in several ways and incorporates the building blocks for setting up the best systems of commission reductions including renewable energy and energy efficiency. it includes compliance flexibility beyond the building blocks and the strategies like fuel stretching and natural capacity and estates of the wide latitude to identify the overall compliance strategies and response to the local

epa is for posing guidelines. epa is improperly limiting the express statutory delegation to the states. in doing so, this jettisons decades of resident establishing state jurisdiction ver electricity markets. the state of alabama opposes the epa's mandate. it would have disastrous consequences for electric reliability and the economy. those consequences would be in oppose and of the clean air act. it would do so at the expense of state authority that is identified and preserved in the clean air act. it would do all of these things or no benefit. there's no rationale that consists for such egulation. >> and now dr., please proceed. >> good morning. thank you for inviting me. this is a crucially important topic. my research specialty is market failures. i studied cap and trade in 005. i did so because the natural push upon captains trade solutions despite consensus among economists that cap and trade does not suit carbon emissions. i don't disagree with the diagnosis. you are presupposing that the treatment is know

epa, would not be enforced. the west virginia department environment protection has constantly for over the last seven years had over 250 vacancies in enforcement. if it weren't for the federal , which funds over 50% of west virginia dep mining permit -- positions, we would not have any enforcement at all. host: anthony, mississippi. caller: california. my name is anthony. i think the tax breaks for foreign vehicles are just a boon for foreign corporations. i think if they aren't giving us tax bricks anymore, i think that is a good thing. along with trying to recover some kind of job situation for america. just a quick note on ferguson. i think opportunity has to be the priority for cities like ferguson or any other city in this country. stockton, california is another one where there's a lot of people who are out of work and people get out of jail and can't get a job. so our situation is just been exacerbated strictly because of a few free trade agreements. that is all i have to say. host: the topic of presiden

in terms of epa stepping in more? specifically my objection to the study was it was focused on something completely beyond their jurisdiction. that is completely beyond their jurisdiction. you can read their mandate and read what they want to study. they do not match up. secondly, look, we have meaning -- we need to make sure that fracking is dealt with properly. fundamentally, the process of fracking has been a round for almost 100 years and i do not think there is anything fundamentally unsound about it. of -- final question about the governor's race. one poll is showing some serious dissent ruvell. -- disapproval. theink he was rated one of most unpopular governors in the country. what is your view of his job performance? >> i am preparing to be graded. not to great others. for my priorities in the administration, working with a great team to move the state forward, not focused on what bobby has done or not done. i have said very clearly that this is going to be my last political job, elected or appointed. i'm goin

the epa from reducing pollution?'t think the polls support that. so you know, the republicans have been doing politically unpopular things and they may try to pull this off. i don't think it's a winner and i think they would blink. they blinked, you know, last year on this and they saw it hurt them in the polls that they even got as close as they did. so i think one should be very concerned if mitch mcconnell were to become senate majority leader and it would cause problems for obama and the epa. but is he going to shot the government down over this? i guess i'm a bit skeptical. >> do you think president obama would blink over that issue? >> i think -- i think he is pretty resolved if you've been listening to his speeches and of course his counselor, john podesta has been very strong. i think he's been getting the advice and of course reading the recent reports, including the national climate assessment from his own government that say we can't keep muddling. the situation is too dire. >> thanks for being here. >> th

do those epa relations go too far? >> i'm not sure if my opponent agreed that man is a contribute to climate change. i think science overwhelmingly says yes. i think we need to go decides. we ask for additional time so we can try to get them right. i think one of the key things administration said it is are they going to use 2005 baseline or something else. all across the state, we are both ends of the -- where do believe is, part of the energy mix in america and the world going forward is going to be cold. let's find ways to use it cleaner. >> the may be clear, the epa relations go too far. >> next question for mr. glaspie has to do with immigration. in 2012, president obama gave some undocumented children in this country a shield from deportation. if they're therefore 2007, if they had a clean work record, and had graduated from high school, they were given work authorization. now, senator ted cruz of texas is proposing to overturn this executive action. if elected, would you vote with senator cruz to repeal the prot

so the history isn't necessarily there to back up the epa, is it, susan? think about what's gone on in the past. >> i think it's true, i don't think there's incentive to perform within governmental agencies, we've seen agencies giving back bonuses because they didn't think everybody got treated fairly. connell: oops. >> nobody promised you it was going to be fair in life. connell: doesn't get a trophy. >> at least not in my game. not in my world. connell: exactly right. this is not six-year-old soccer. speaking of agencies that have not had it easy, we go to the va now and that's been quite a controversy that we've covered for weeks and months, but now how about this. veterans are sour about the government certainly, but should they now also be sour about their government retirement plans? this is a financial story. banks are pushing veterans to leave government plans and join broker operated account. jared, if you're advising a veteran on the financial move and the banks are saying we'd like to have your money over here, what would your word of advice be

let me express to the epa just announced regulation for existing plants. we understood on new plants is a little bit different. the figures that we have that would require power plants around the country to reduce their greenhouse emissions by 30% to 2005 levels. we have done our own study for a long period of time going back to read after kyoto was never submitted for ratification confound the cost of it from wharton school at m.i.t., charles rivers associated is between $30,400,000,000,000 a year. that is the largest tax increase in history. chambers cannot with the amount of money it will cost them jobs in all that. for decades, the environmental left has pushed the trade and commerce has rejected. we've had this before congress now about 12 times it has been rejected every single time and each time by a larger margin. the first 2003, the mccain lieberman bill in two years later was rejected even by a larger amount. he used to be the number one and now it's the number 14 can turn and it's a very loud concern. the president is pushing this regulatory thi

the clean air does give significant discretion to epa. . .ould agree that they've been especially aggressive in targeting cold fired power plants and coal mining. so that really wasn't the case under the clinton and bush administration but there's been a very aggressive effort for the last 5-1/2 years. host: as far as industries. what about their ability to push back? do they have cover? guest: i think another interesting fact too think about in the regulatory scheme is the technology

if that were the case, then, do we just need to up the epa regulations?o, i think, look, we generally drink very clean water, we have clean air to breathe, we're better than 99% of the hor countri the other co, our regulations are sufficient, we fail to recognize no matter how good we are at regulating and protecting there is always a risk factor, we cannot ever be 100% safe, if we wanted to be things would be so expensive and scarce it would be impossible to have the water and air we have, we have a good balance but we need it recognize that bad things will happen some time, and they do people should be read snow i understand that. neil: i understand that but doctor, if this is possible in all 5 50 states, what would tip this algae so it is sort of viral? >> well, i i don't think that they are sure what happened because algae season comes a little bit later, but just because there are potential problem does not mean they will be actual problems. water in ohio, and elsewhere is treated multiple times in this situation they turned it quickly. quickly. i ag
