the epa went to court. factories were shut down. message got through, pollution would never -- no longer be a part of business as usual in the united states. the clean water act passed in 1972 also required enormous efforts on the part of the new agency. 60 million people were on sewage systems discharging 2 million tons per year of raw organic waste into surface waters. the new law mandated a system of universal sewage treatment and gave the epa the job of bringing it about. ofob that meant running one the biggest public works programs in history. these huge programs were hardly underway when congress gave the epa new ones. and expanded pesticide program to examine and register new pest killers. to ensure that these chemicals do not menace human health or the survival of natural systems. a program to test, register and control toxic chemicals used in industry and the home. they program to set standards for the nation's drinking water. a program to control the disposal of solid waste including hazardous waste. a program to help clea

last month epa issued the draft revised comments period. we also announced a june 10th public meeting to provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions and make comments. our ultimate goal is to carry out epa's responsibilities in compliance with esa without placing unnecessary burden on america's farmers and other pesticide users. there are significant resource challenges to comply with both. we will continue to collaborate with all of you to develop scientific approaches to this complex issue and create sustainable process for reviewing a given pesticide's affect on listed species designated critical habitat. 2018 interagency am oh a formally established the working group and laid out an action plan with several commitments. these commitments included one, analyzing the role of regulations in order to provide an outlying of legal and regulatory framework for pesticide consultations under the esa process. 2, reviewing past esa pesticide consultation practices to learn from recent experience, 3, preparing recommendations to improve

i know epa doesn't have control over the world's oceans but is there a role for the epa to be a leader in trying to clean up ocean plastics? >> there is. i'll be at the g 20 environmental ministers meeting later this month. that is a big issue for me. in addition to drinking water world wide is also the ocean plastics. 60% of the plastic debris in the oceans comes from six asian countries. if you look at the lest of contributing countries, the united states is ranked 20th. so we still need to do more here. we need to do a lot more on recycling in our country but we need to work with the six asian countries that are producing 60% of the ocean's plastic debris and work to clean those up. at the epa we have some international projects one in panama, one in jamaica and one in peru. they're all here in this hemisphere. what i've done is talked to my counterparts at the eu as well as canada and japan and we're committed to taking a look at the pilot programs that we've all done individually and try to figure out what are the best pilots to go to the next level with those six countries to try

annext, the epa hosts endangered species act meeting in washington. we hear remarks from david bernhardt, sonny perdue, and wilbur ross. this runs a half hour. >> we thank all of you for joining us today. we know how busy your schedules are and how difficult it is to get a group of this caliber together at the same time. your attendance today demonstrates a clear commitment across the administration to implement a strategy to improve the endangered species act process for pesticides. sks this bill tak esteemed group with engaging with stakeholders and others in a transparent manner. we are committed to maintaining that type of process. i now and very privileged to introduce the honorable epa administrator, andrew wheeler. hasnistrator wheeler provided strong leadership to all of us at the age of and is deeply -- agency and is deeply committed to the issues the working group will assess. administrator wheeler? administrator wheeler: thank you all for joining us on the important day, the 75th anniversary of d-day. we honor the allied forces who stormed

brian jackson, epa chief of staff and a guest speaker. stepping over the podium, we have lori, president of communications and cochair of the npc headliners team. taking over our speaker for a moment, jennifer and environmental environmental producer. kevin, retired u.s. navy captain, chair of as sc a america and mcc organizer. finally, young, senior editor for the first times in the host of americans leaders. also want to acknowledge some additional members of the national press club who helped organize this luncheon. the other headliners team leader, we have press club sta staff. chef susan who prepared your meal and mcc executive director. thank you all. [applause] injure was confirmed as a sinister of the environmental protection agency last november. in leaving, he started months earlier when his predecessor resigned in a series of scandals. a long history of agency, his first job in washington was at the epa. where he worked on chemical relation, pollution prevention and right to know is. he went on to serve as staff member and geor

no head of research and science at epa.oss the board fall-off in enforcement numbers, all of this is worrisome and suggests the epa which is founded by president nixon to protect the health of the united states now has a primary concern with economic cost and impact. in fact, if you look back at the history of the agency, so often people have complained about our laws. air most particularly in my time when we reauthorized the clean air act. the economy has boomed through all of these years. the gdp has gone constantly up. the cars have increased in numbers and the pollution levels have gone down. significantly down. this is probably one of the most effective agencies of the federal government. its effectiveness is being impaired. >> what does it mean that there is actually a climate change denier in the white house. it's been reported that the term climate change is even being spiked from websites, governmental websites. explain the challenge for people like you of having to cope with this. >> now there is a proposal by the

the goals epa rule, is to reverse the trend of coal power plants closing down? guest: i think the goal of it -- and again, you will have to speak with the epa to get the details on this -- but the ultimate goal and comprehensive goal for all of us is to affect our environment without destroying our economy and jobs. that is why the ace rule is so much better than what the clean power plan was in the past. host: politically, on republicans and your actions on the environment, how do you respond when the speaker of the house says -- as rising temperatures, surging sees, and ravage disasters communities everywhere, the trump administration puts the rights of polluters above other people. the american people are demanding an end to the corruption and denial of the fact but the white house refuses to relent. guest: that is a ludicrous statement on the part of the speaker. that is not the case at all. what the united states has done since the early 1970's, we have decreased our carbon emissions and we have grown our economy. ,hat is something that came out the departm

the epa. -- the epa.t: candidate trump made a number of promises about the epa, about the environment and about energy. he promised, i will stop the war on coal and get rid of the so-called clean power plan. when i was working for the presidential transition in the fall of 2016, before the election and after the election, one of the things we were told over and over, your job is to figure out how to implement the promises of the president. outnfluence was to figure the technical difficulties or governmental process difficulties that could hold up keeping this promise. one of the odd things about president trump -- i think it is to wish is him from other elected officials -- this thing ithes -- i think distinguishes him from other elected officials -- he's focused on keeping his promises. did you have an influence on the end product? guest: it is minimal. one thing i will say about the on, they are moving forward fulfilling the trump campaign promises. there have been more delays than necessary on certain

let's look at the statistics that came from the epa itself. report very recently said that should this rule go into place and the continuous rollbacks we have seen from the obama administration, it could result in up to 1400 premature deaths by 2030, could result in 48,000 extra cases of extreme asthma and then there's a few other statistics. if that's not enough, let's look at another study. the associated press, i asked you during the commercial break whether you thought the associated press was biased, they came out with a study just very recently to fact-check what the president said at the rally about clean air and they have discovered that last year and the previous year, there was a 15% increase in unhealthy air days versus the last several years from 2013 to 2016. so you have all of these issues rolling back, what about the future, jonathan? what about trying to innovate and be, you know, moving our economy, our health, our climate, everything forward so that people aren't getting sick with asthma, people aren't having these health pro

other any consequences that happen to her for the epa and the result of that? her name pretty much disappeared pretty quickly. seems like she might be responsible for that. >> she hasn't faced any particular consequences except as the effects became more apparent they did have a hearing several years after the fact on capitol hill that was rather uncomfortable for her. but she was gone from the epa from then and long since not a governor. >> good morning everyone. thank you for taking my phone call. i wanted to make a quick comments. i really think that i'm a healthcare worker, registered nurse for 26 years. on that particular day when 9/11 occurred my younger sister was traveling from louisiana to visit. just being in the healthcare system, i agree with the previous calling, the soldiers are not being properly taken care of. but i feel very strongly that people, especially the firemen running into save peoples lives, they should be compensated. i really feel to see his senator like mitch mcconnell who has delivered, along with the president, the largest tax br

she was gone from the epa by then and long since not a governor. host: washington, rose, good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my phone call. i want to make a quick comment. i am a health care worker. i'm a registered nurse. on that particular day when 9/11 occurred, my younger sister was traveling from louisiana to visit. just being in the health care system, i agree with the soldierscaller, the are not being properly taken care. care of. running in to save people's lives, they should be compensated. that to ca senator like mitch mcconnell, who has tax breakshe largest for the 1% of the population. these firemen who work every day to say people, they deserve -- save people, they deserve to be compensated. i think mitch mcconnell, who calls himself the grip reaper, which is appalling to me, he should stand back and determine if he is really a statesman or just interested in taking a big tax break and forget about the hard-working people every day who do not get to stand up in front of the congress and abuse power? host: we heard

the epa rolling back a plan that the agency said could prevent thousands of people from dying early. they're doing so in order to keep a trump campaign promise. >>> welcome to "the lead" and i'm jake tapper. we start with the 2020 lead. joe biden called out about his comments at a fundraiser. the former vice president in the u.s. senate for almost 40 years before that recalled his working relationship with segregationist senators bemoaning while he disagreed with them, at least there was some civil ilt. james east land of mississippi called african-americans an inferior race, and he said he never called me boy, he always called me son. of another senator her man talmadge, biden said we didn't agree on much of anything. we got things done. we got it finished and today you look at other side and you're the enemy. and cory booker and bill de blasio are calling him out, demandi demanding he apologize and de blasio quoting it is 2019 and joe biden is longing for the good old days of sieve ilt by eastland who thought his multi-racial family should be illegal and whites were dead -- and add

the epa administrator roles out the carbon rule. you write in their that the industry groups are praising the epa for finalizing the rule that keeps in missions inside the fence line and give states flexibility. what does that mean? guest: inside the fence line is a technical name for focusing on it changes that can happen at the power plant facility. -- instead switching of doing emissions trading. emissionsrade credits. host: we have calls waiting period go ahead. since: i believe president trump has been in office, it's been horrible for the environment. there been so many rollbacks. a decrease in funding. parise got out of the i believe wed, need to bring back some of the obama policies. we need a carbon tax placed on large corporations. we need clean-air stronger than others. it's had unprecedented levels of rainfall. it's a disgrace with their doing, rolling back regulations. they don't really have a big concern about the environment. aggressive and that will make a difference. that's my comment. good point,s a very the trump

she worked at the epa for 37 years and she keeps it really real.hen trump took office, and ronnie wasn't the only one who left. about 8% of the workforce took off after trump's arrival. >> it was a great place to work. people who were there really were committed to protecting human health and the environment. >> yeah. but what a lot of people don't know is while the epa sets the regulations and does have an enforcement policy, it's usually up to local agencies to do the enforcing. and local agencies sometimes do tricky things to look like they're following the rules. >> part of the problem is water utilities have figured out ways to essentially make their lives easier by what's called gaming. so they gamed the system in order to have water that met the standards. and philadelphia actually uses a lot of the same techniques. >> gaming is basically like that thing where lance armstrong passed a lot of drug tests, but we know he wasn't clean, except it's your water, and you're drinking it. >> for a lot of people, environmental problems are too hard, to

epa gives coal plants a reprieve.ay, the coal lobbyist who trump put in charge of the epa signed new legislation to roll back the obama era legislation that had tied up -- excuse me, tightened up standards on polluting old fashioned coal burning power plants. he signed that new rule just as his own agency's data were released that showed how the trump administration has turned around american air quality so it's now in decline. trump's own epa says the furtherer quality decline they're expecting from this rule change they just signed yesterday should probably be expected to kill around 1,400 americans every year that it's in effect. 1,400 extra dead americans because of new air pollution that they're purposely causing. as i mentioned, the trump administration's epa chief is a coal industry lobbyist. and maybe you can spot the pattern here. trump's hand-picked epa director, coal lobbyist. trump's secretary of health and human services, lobbyist, as well. and tomorrow, trump's defense secretary will be run by a defense

epa is about protecting public health and the environment.mics play a role, i mean, you are allowed to consider it in some cases on clean air standards, you might consider it in others on their third set of clean air yar i can't say where you are not allowed to consider cost benefit at all because it's too important for human health and yet this administration seems to be ignoring that entirely and as if they're also going to change the way you assess deaths and attribute deaths to particular things. studies will tell us that between 200,000 and 300,000 americans die from dirty airborne related causes, diseases, heart attacks, plaintiff seem ma, cancer, those kinds of things, asthma. it's the number one reason for missed school days in children. i defy anyone to go to an event, if you're giving a speech sore a talk, and ask the audience who has asthma, who knows someone with asthma, a family member with asthma, two-thirds of the hands in that room will go up. it's happened to me every time i've done it, no matter where i've done t i even did

and today his epa ignoring market forces made it easier to burn the dirtiest fuel of law. the epa, andrew wheeler was a goal lobbyist, and today's announcement made it hard to tell he ever left that job. >> the contrast between our approach and the green new deal or plans like it couldn't be clearer. rather than washington telling americans what type of energy they can use or how they can travel, or even what they can eat, we are working cooperatively with the states to provide an affordable, dependable and diverse supply of energy. >> reporter: in reality american coal consumption is at a 40 -year low because of competition. for the first time ever more power is now being generated by cleaner, cheaper renewables. a free market trend president obama tried to accelerate with a tough carbon cap called the clean power plan. after several groups sued a conservative supreme court majority kept those rules from taking effect and today the epa killed them. instead, they'll give states three years to come up with their own pollution standards. >> our air and water are the cleanest

hates epa. hates the federal government. good match. >> no. >> he's in a bad marriage. >> right. and he's had three, you know. >> yeah. >> all bad. >> i was not going to get along really well. >> this is ron i eleven. she worked at the epa for 37 years and she keeps it really, really so real she quit when trump took office and see wasn't the only one who left. about 8% of the workforce took off after his arrival. >> it was a great place to work. people who were there really were committed to protecting human health and the environment. >> yeah. >> but what a lot of people don't know while the epa sets regulations and has an enforcement policy, it's usually up to local agencies to do enforcing. local agencies sometimes do tricky things to look like they're following the rules. >> part of the program is water' utilities have figured out ways to essentially make their live easier by what's called gaming. so they gamed the system in order to have water that met the standards. and philadelphia actually uses a lot of the same tech

as a government says on page 16 a statement of policy under decades of epa law, categorically lacks the four cloth. except you can never have a statement of policy. that triggers a notice of comment. both sides agree on that and you are now reading significant words out of his statue. that is not how statutory construction works. now the government says 0 you should just leave this provision and simply qualifying the pre-existing extinction between interpretive rules. first of all, the substantive legal standard that they use in a2, appears nowhere in the apa or any apa cases. so it will be an extraordinarily roundabout way for congress to try to adopt the interpretive rule exception which is sitting in the book instead to introduce bluenew language that is never been used in the eta instead of introducing the novel concept. if that is all that congress want to do in a2 they could've cross-referenced the interpretive rule exception in the apa just like it cross-referenced the neighboring good rule or could've said any substantive rule. that would've been a lot simpler and obviously cong

and i think what was left out of the conversation with tom foreman or the epa's announcement today.e rallying around coal country and those jobs, it's not regulation that's killing those jobs, it's competition. >> that's what the administration claims? >> yeah. >> it's not. >> in april for the first time ever, renewables created more electricity than coal, we've reached a tipping point now. the bureau of labor statistics says the two fastest growing jobs for the next five or ten years. solar panel installer and wind tech nick. >> how about that. >> with growth rates of like 100% a year. there are three times as many renewable energy workers than fossil fuel workers. the market, the free market forces are pushing in this direction. but he made some promises to some coal minors and as a result they're gutting -- this is just one of 83 environmental rules that cover everything from chemicals emitted by power plants, toxic fertilizer rules, endangered species, and then, of course, the big ka hun in a these days is the climate crisis. and the scientists i've talked to, dozens of them say

. >> simply put the obama administration through the epa was trying to say we as a nation must move awaylants. that is one of the chief causes of the particulate in the environment leading to global warming. so they said we have to move toward clean power. essentially what the trump administration has said today is you know the epa overstepped here, the federal government has no right to tell everybody to do all of this. states should handle on this on their own and they can come up with their own variety of rules to possibly regulate this to any certain degree. the bottom line is if you are an environmentalist out there for sure, but also a lot of moderate voters who are concerned about climate change, this is a step in the opposite direction to say no, we're going back to coal-fired, it is perfectly fine and we're very little worried about this. and of course keeping in step with one of trump's campaign promises. we're moving ahead with coal and it is a great thing going into the future. >> aren't the economics of this already moving away from coal? isn't this fighting just the reality

>> right in the obama administration, epa would take it upon themselves without going to congress. in the trump administration the epa and state department and other places can decide they won't enact trump administration policies because they think it's better for the country. there is a lot of power in the different bureaucracies. how can they be accountable? who know what they are doing? very few people. people voting should not count as much. >> tucker: i was hoping you were going to reassure me. great to see you. the wife of a top congressional democrat allegedly took money from her charity into a for-profit organization. lisa join us with more. >> you were talking about the resistr resistance and one of the main leaders this. what happened is there has been a complaint filed against his wife, and the complaint was filed by the national policy and legal center. it has two chief complaints. first is drawing the fact, she has a charity called a global policy solution. businesses that have interest before the oversight committee are giving money to this charity. that's the first

the epa deciding to undo an obama-era rule on coal-fired power plant emissions.ow says states can set their own carbon emission standards for the plants. that decision to roll back an obama-era rule comes despite the agency's own finding that doing so could result in more premature deaths. cnn's tom foreman joins us now. tom, this move does help the president fulfill a campaign promise, as we know, to help the coal industry. several states, though, and environmental groups will likely challenge this in court. walk us through this new rule. what would change? >> well, essentially what happens is this, under the obama administration, there was a real push by the epa to say, look, we're going to tighten the regulations on emissions to help with global warming and to help nudge the nation away from coal use. they basically wanted to say, we need to discover new ways of producing cleaner energy. we need to rely more on that clean energy. and as long as we keep letting coal go forward unimpeded, that probably won't happen. so the obama administration wanted to move awa
