university undergraduate here in the nation's capital and i remember when i landed at georgetown and went to the oren student office to get all my information and they said, they said something about being a foreign student but not having gotten my rooming assignment and the guy who is very well-meaning, i think all he heard was foreign student in stock and said do you speak english and i remember saying and being so surprised by that insane jokingly saying well, i do but only if you talk very slowly. [laughter] that was the beginning of my entry to the united states and i don't think i could have ever dreamt i would have sitting here talking to is a member of congress. >> host: yeah, absolutely. i would encourage people to read the book just to see how somebody arrives at age 17 in the united states for the first time ever that results in that person becoming a member of congress but one of the reasons this conversation will be fun is you have a high profile of the leftist wing of the democratic party and i am a leader of the new democrat division, the more centrist wing, and one of

georgetown felt they did the work and they spent a great deal of money. we could do two different things. i could do a tax incentive or a tax credit to let somebody write it off. i have money in there for education so they can prepare, because not every school district is the same, when it comes to the wealth. they have done the work preparing and they have spent that outlay, and what is congress doing, they are not even in session. there is no more an issue about will be called back ,or one day for a postal bill an issue that we have nothing about, and have not even read. jessica: there was an article in science news suggesting california could face heat events worse than today. however, you continue to roll back environmental regulations. over 100 so far. what do you see as a path to eliminating harmful emissions? rep. mccarthy: that is a great question. i want everybody to sit back and listen because everybody should be concerned about the environment. we should look at the environment in a global way. what the paris accord does, it allows china to con
