why you continue -- the epa continues to have taken down the epa -- the portion of the epa website dealing with climate change. when you go to epa.climate these days, you get a little headline saying, we want to help you find what you're looking for, and it goes on. it disappeared, the previous climate change portion of the website. >> it's my understanding that everything -- i've asked this question of our career technical people multiple times. everything that is every on the website on climate change is still available on the website. it's not highlighted to the same extent that president obama's epa highlighted it, but it is still on the website. >> mr. administrator, if you want to be taken seriously as an agency that believes in science, you wouldn't disappear the climate change website. yes, you've archived what was there before the trump administration. my understanding is when you look at your climate indicators page, you haven't been updating the graphs with the newest information. will you commit today that you will do that? >> i'll have to look into that. i'm -- >> would you be

for example, epa and u.s. aid joined forces to develop the drinking water laboratory capacity building program in west africa. this program helps provide clean drinking water in urban areas by building the capacity of labs for sampling, analysis and quality assurance. epa provides the technical assistance and know-how while u.s. aid provides the funding and on the ground presence. the project launched in ghana sparked a new focus of water quality across the country, including the development of a quality assurance manual, which will improve water quality for 500,000 consumers. this manual is now being used as a model for other labs in the region, and labs in ghana have already used this knowledge to mentor labs in nigeria. we are excited about the progress of this program and believe it holds potential for other areas around the world. here in the u.s. we are blessed with an abundance of waterways scattered across our landscape. however, in parts of the american west, we still face water shortages. these probl

the level of attention that epa would give to international issues, and to get epa more engaged. as we think about the epa of the future, the drawing upon experiences, what role can epa play in the future, and what does epa mean internationally? quickly recount a story? [laughter] >> is that like a point of personal privilege? [laughter] >> it's an interesting story because of what was covered by dennis with respect to president nixon. i spent a day there a few months ago. i showed him pieces of a memoir that covered parts of the experience that he knew better than i did. one of them was a chapter on nixon and the environment. it infuriated him. the concluding sentence i had was richard nixon was the most consequential president of the environment in the post world war period. , it described epa in the 1980's, as backwater in the reagan administration. he said you should have made it backwater in the nixon administration too. at any rate, i pondered that a i did not want to lead into something that offended bill, who is a very important mentor for me and so many of us. i tried to

at epa we held the first recycling summit this past november. this brought together all leaders of recycling value chain. and, we will refund -- redress our progress. the epa and us trade representative led the us negotiating team for the environmental chapter of the us and ca, the new nafta, which contains the most comprehensive set of enforceable environmental obligations of any trade agreement to date. .. one of the most cost-effective solutions is a let

the epa is not doing anything. they want to put band-aid berms on a river that rages during any kind of rain or flooding. the idea that flint was the obama administration is ridiculous. that was the local and state republicans that made very bad decisions. the health department, the governor all those republicans , that are responsible for the terror caused in flint, michigan. and third, at the national and international level, the stuff you're saying is ridiculous. being oil wells in national parks is not responsible. i do not care how you try to portray it. and at the international level, our environmental policies are considered ridiculous. you know what? we are not creating the kinds of treaties, we are not participating at an international level. and while maybe, thanks to california and the democrats there, we have some decent environmental policies that have developed over decades and decades, trump is trying to completely destroy anything, and particularly his absolute obsession with obama. host: ok. i'm go

assuming we have a new day at epa sometime in the future, what would you like to see epa do from insidethe agency to first of all listen and to give environmental justice some real be just anot have it issue of us believing in environmental justice but to actually be there and receptive and may be organized in a different way to address the issue? >> thank you for that question. >> we started making real progress. in the early days when we got started, there are a lot of folks that did not believe the on communities. even though they said that. we began to slowly evolve. it brought into out to other agencies that began to incorporate environmental justice. we began to train folks. ejbegan to have things like 2014 and now ej 2020. let us talk about the things that still need to happen. there needs to be more diversity inside the agency. diversity from people that come from these sets of experiences, and who are in leadership who canto framework give the administration the right kind of advice. agencies 17 federal under the executive order signed by president clinton in 1994. they also ha

what happened while you were in epa. tell us about superfund sites, letting copper into water, cleaning up uranium, clean air, what is the true record under the trump administration in your leadership? mr. pruitt: i want to build on something that ryan said. there was an article a couple years ago that came out that was entitled "the greatest story seldom told." the american economy, we have done it better than anyone in the world as far as growing our economy but also being a good steward of our environment. those pollutants we regulated under the clean air act, we have been regulating them since 1970. we have reduced those pollutants by almost 85% since the inception of the clean air act. under the trump administration, we cleaned up 10 times the number of sites of the most toxic sites in the entire country. there was an example in st. louis, missouri. there was a solid waste landfill there outside of st. louis. 38,000 tons of solid waste. 8000 tons of uranium from the manhattan project. all commingled together. discov

. >> next former epa administrator scott pruitt and ryan zinke. they talk about energy and environmental policies and what it was like to work for president trump. they spoke at a dallas cowboy republican dinner for about half an hour. >> well, praise god. it is so great to be here among so many patriots. it is so great to be back in america after being on the other side of the world for a week. and i'm not going to take much time because we want to hear from these gentlemen and so the first one of them is our epa administrator, scott pruitt. and i'll tell you what we have seen in the last two years that's been incredible. with cutting regulations and job-killing regulations, let me tell you scott pruitt has been so key in the economic boom we've had in america. scott pruitt entered the oklahoma political stage in 1998 when he was elected to the state senate. after two years he was selected by his peers to serve as a republican whip from 2001 to 2003 before being named the republican assistant floor leader. he is a man that is really responsible f

scientists from the epa recommended that they banned all uses of this toxic pesticide. one of scott pruett's first actions as the epa administrator was to rescind the proposed ban and one of the early actions as the secretary was tiberi a scientific study concluding that this and another pesticide could jeopardize the continued existence of more than 1200 endangeredir birds, fish, animas and plants. let me repeat more than 1200 birds, fish and other species are at risk of extinction from to toxic pesticides. he reportedly ordered them to go back to therd drawing board to block the release of the report. i'dg been working to get it off the market with legislation and the federal courts have ordered the epa to move forward with dan. there's no good reason that it's still in use except that it's manufactured by a powerful dupont company. the withdrawal of scientificic study serves big chemicals interest, not the public. one of the most egregious anti-conservation actions of this administration is the unprecedented attacks on the antiquities act which has stood since presid

can you tell me about the epa today? [laughter] there is a two day conference starting tomorrow at american university on the future of the epa. there will be several bipartisan former epa administrator's who will address that topic with detail and sophistication. clearly, it has been catastrophic, the worst to administrators in history appointed by the trump administration. it's funny but we are now considering what has gone on with the supreme court and h,arting to think of gorsuc it's hard. administration under their leaders, one was thrown in the slammer, it got about as bleak as we thought it could get. then bill ruckelshaus came in and inspire the agency and brought in a whole bunch of new people and revitalized it and it started going again. when we passed the laws i talked about in the early 1970's, they were brand-new approaches to thanks. you didn't know what would work or didn't work. .oon we would pass this the stuff that to work, we would amend and that's how the system functions. after the reagan years, thi

but the idea that the epa -- >> it sounds like the epa doesn't work. >> it doesn't work.ulations should go away. but the epa was meant to address the fundamental instinct that times profit-making industries have say figure somebody doesn't tell me not to dump this in the water, i will. the epa was not meant to be partisan or stand in the way of business, but sure it slows somebody's ability to make money if there are rules they have to ad here to. >> it requires things to be deliberate enough that you understand the consequences and factor that in when you make decisions. federal rules are hard. the federal government only intervenes when you jump through huge hurdles, jump over them and decide what is right and what's necessary. but what it does, sometimes industry doesn't, is it calculates the impact to you and i, to human beings. what it means to our health, what it means to our well being, our safety. if you look at the issues of climate change, you have to regulate or do something about carbon pollution because it is the biggest threat to our health, our economy, our

where i think the epa could have done more is blowing the whistle earlier?y had evidence that the water was contaminated even though the state of michigan was assuring the public it was not, they should have said something then. we did change the law. congressman fred upton and i drafted legislation that says when the epa knows water is contaminated, if the local government or state government doesn't inform the public within 24 hours, the epa is required to do so. i wish they would have done so just out of an abundance of caution. they did not. that's one way the epa could have done much better to protect the public. >> as the judge said, generations could be affected. you're deputy chief whip in the house. there will be a conference call later today with regard to what road to take with regard to impeachment or censure. where do you think things should go? >> this is one of the hard ones. we have to make a judgment as to what's best for the american people. i have been really disturbed by what i've read in the mueller report, particularly the interactions

he wants fossil fuel industry representatives at the department of interior and the epa in wanting these agencies. david bernhardt's ties to big oil, the very industry he's tasked with regulating are as deep as an oil well. those ties should be disqualifying for anyone nominated to head the department of interior. we need to stop the pollution of our democracy by big oil interests. and i urge my colleagues to vote no on the nomination of david bernhardt. i ask my colleagues to consider what we can do to avoid the necessity of the spoiling, the sacred environmental locations in our country for the oil industry, for the koch brothers. this is a big moment, this vote that we're about to cast. this is one more step by donald trump that are result in far more green house gases going up into the atmosphere, far more danger being presented to places that should be just put off-limits to the oil industry because of the risk of environmental danger that would be provided by that permission to drill. that's why we should all pause and really consider whether or not we want to go deeper and deeper
