thanks, gina mccarthy. great to see you again. >>> joining me now, a longtime climate advocate, jay inslee, a former president of congress, a presidential candidate. how realistic is it to meet the climate commitments the epa has its hands tied in so many ways? >> extremely difficult. gina said she's disappointed. i'm glad they will work hard to use whatever tool remains. look, they gutted the ability of the epa to move forward. there's no question about it. they kneecapped ability to help us. climate change is raging. the day this came out was the one-year anniversary of a heat dome that killed 100 people in my state. how does the supreme court respond? that's what they did. i'm glad we have some remaining tools. basically, the supreme court has said, congress told you to build a house, but we the supreme court said you can't use a hammer or a saw. that's essentially what they have done. the good news is that we have 24 states that are going to move forward on climate change. my state now has the best 100%

traveling the world and he is talking about doing more than and another great massachusetts native, gina mccarthy. national climate adviser is leading our efforts here at home. and joined by your neighbor from rhode island, sheldon whitehouse, a great champion of the environment. i come here today with a message. we have the responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger and that's what climate change is about. it is not figuratively a clear and present danger. and national climate scientists called the latest climate report code red for humanity. let me say it again. code red for humanity. he is a scientist. we see it here in america, red states and blue states, extreme weather costing $145 billion in damages just last year. i have flown all across america. it's amazing to see. ravaging 100-year-old droughts occurring every few years than 100 years. wildfires out west and destroyed more than five million acres, everything in its path. that is more land than the entire state of new york and new jersey and down to the tip of delaware. it's amazing, fi

joining us now for a preview on all of this is president biden's national climate adviser gina mccarthytanding where i am, usually, but thank you for joining us this morning. and i'd like to start off, what are the executive orders that president biden is going to issue, what do they do? >> first of all, president biden is going to be traveling to massachusetts to an old coal-fired power plant to show what the clean energy future looks like, right now. that transformation and that plan is moving away from coal, it is closed, and it is going to become actually a clean energy manufacturing operation. so that we can have offshore wind, like new announcements that the president is going to make in the gulf of mexico, to actually move forward with offshore wind that in this country is booming. so the president is going to make it clear that climate change is an emergency, he's going to make it clear that just because congress couldn't get it done, he is going to move forward with every power available to him to make the change and the shift to clean energy. because it is important. look, we'

. >> native gina mccarthy.forts here at home. it's an honor to be joined by your neighbor, by your neighbor from rhode island. he's not a bad guy at all. i live in his house, sheldon whitehouse, a great champion of the environment. he's been banging away. i come here today with a message. as president i have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger, and that's what climate change is about. it is literally not figuratively a clear and present danger. the health of our citizens in our communities is literally at stake. the leading international climate scientists call the latest climate report nothing less than, quote, code red for humanity. let me say it again, code red for humanity. these are not a group of political elected officials, these are the scientists. we see it here in america in red states and blue states, extreme weather events costing $145 billion, $145 billion in damages just last year. more powerful and destructive hurricanes and tornados. i'

number three, they are going to the american financial community, john kerry, gina mccarthy, all these far-left crazy policy folks, and saying to american banks and insurance companies, don't invest in american energy. choking off capital to this incredibly important sector of the u.s. economy. when they're not doing that, they're appointing senior officials -- just think comptroller of the currency, federal reserve, sec chairman -- who are undertaking policies to choke off capital to the american energy sector. that's happening. and number four, when they've seen prices spike, hard-working american families, paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars more to get to work in their car or truck, the administration's going around begging dictators for more energy production. madam president, this is an insult. we have the highest standards in the environment on american energy production. in alaska, other places. do you think the saudis care about their environment? do you think venezuelans care? do you think the terrorists in iran care? they don't. but the administration is going and be

>> reporter: and, gina mccarthy was asked by kaitlan collins whether or not the president intends tomate emergency. she did not directly answer, but she made clear that that is still on the table, and that the president does intend to take additional executive actions going forward. but as you said, poppy, a lot of this will be short of what could have happened through legislation. that legislation now not expected to happen. poppy, jim? >> after a lot of anticipation. jeremy diamond at the white house, thanks so much. >>> want to discuss with professor benjamin zajik, his research at johns hopkins university centers around coping with changes in climate. he's the co-author of a new study and how such dangers can cascade. good to have you here. folks see the heat waves in europe, they see them here in the u.s., they're feeling them. explain briefly if you can how these heat waves are the result of a warming planet. >> yeah, absolutely. first of all, of course, as the entire planet warms up, we expect temperatures to rise and this is entirely consistent with what we have seen for year

what biden, john kerry, gina mccarthy, pete buttigieg refuse to acknowledge, nearly 80% of u.s.ctricity for all those electric cars comes from fossil fuels. they want to wipe all of that out. they want to wipe out 11 million workers in the u.s. oil and gas industry. wipe out over 3,000 fossil fuel plants. how will they power all the electric cars? >> look, you're quite right. there has never been, you know, it is interesting, for all of their constant harping about climate activism they never provided the american public with a real alternative infrastructure plan. the so-called transition is you know, wipe out any carbon, let's say carbon related electricity in five to 10 years. now that is not a plan. that is just a jihad. that is bunch of ideologies, no pragmatism, no common sense. we'll have carbon fuels for the next 100 years, liz. the thing so important, this is the point that bjorn lomborg makes time and time again. he is not a climate denear. american technology advances, american ingenuity, american gales of creative destruction makes these fuels cleaner. you don't thro

basically gina mccarthy, the e.p.a., the national climate adviser saying that he is going to make clearr available to him. >> look, he is not going to declare an official emergency on climate, but is he going to use executive orders and some of the things that he can do are spend existing federal funds to help people retrofit their houses or do other kinds of mitigation. but the problem is that president biden came in with two pretty big goals that he said would meet the overall goal of keeping the temperature of the globe to under, you know a certain number of center is meters above was it was in the preindustrial age. that's what scientists say is needed if we are not going to have even more extreme weather over time. he wanted to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, based on 2005 levels by 2030. he also wanted to make sure that half the number of vehicles sold in the u.s. by 2030 are electric vehicles. he is not going to be able to do that without legislation. and that's the bind that he is in right now. joe manchin pretty much killed the climate change portions of the build back bet

john kerry, jennifer granholm, gina mccarthy, they're all silent on environmental damage from green energyribes they're trying to block two lithium mining projects in nevada. toxic waste, water pollution, ruining environment. they need those mines for electric car batteries they want everyone to drive? >> no, we really don't, liz. guess what? we'll continue to import everything from china. i love biden's comment, when i hear climate change i hear jobs. where are the jobs? they're in china. they're making 2/3 of our solar panels, processing almost all of the lithium going into all of these batteries and mining a lot of it too, by the way. but look, these are not serious people. if they were serious people, liz, we would be talking about nuclear power, right? because nuclear power is safe and it is completely emissions-free but environmentalists don't like that. they don't like the fact there is going to be some problems mining lithium. they're not into solutions. they want to stop everything. they would be happy if we didn't go anywhere. it is ridiculous. elizabeth: it's a good point to you

you have gina mccarthy who is essentially the climate czar but then you have john kerry who is also aizes for the united states when he wants to. he gets the president in trouble by saying well joe biden doesn't know about that but i do. and he is saying who knows what overseas. he was doing that while trump was president. now he is doing it in an official capacity. i think everybody deserves to know how much money is he spending and who works for him. elizabeth: you know, i mean the president campaigned saying he would be the most transparent presidency in u.s. history but now we can't find out what john kerry to affect our pocketbooks and the question is, what if trump and his administration did this? >> yeah. it is such a double standard. we all know this, liz. what is revealing here is that they revealed everybody else's but his. so begs the question who there in the white house decided oh, boy, we better not let anybody see that. you want to follow the money. the things you can't see are the things you want to see the most and it begs more questions. and i don't understand why an

. >> ahead on this very subject we will speak with white house national climate advisory gina mccarthyto take executive actions on climate. >>> so today former vice president mike pence will return to the capitol for the first time since leaving office. so who is he meeting with on capitol hill? >>> also ahead, he said trump was the only president he recognized and claimed biden was, quote, installed in the white house, oh, and he chartered three buses to the capitol on jap 6th and said pence was a trader. last night he became the republican candidate for governor in maryland. we will tell you the trump-backed candidate dan cox and who he is. this is a tempur-pedic mattress. it's designed to help make a aches and pains a thing of the past by relieving pressure points and supporting your body in a way no other mattress can. experience the mattress ranked # in customer satisfaction by j.d. power, three years in a row. panera chefs have afted a masterpiece... succulent, seared chicken... a secret aioli... suc clean ingredients...n... in a buttery brioche roll. made fresh, to leave you...

my view is like a lot of things, john kerry and gina mccarthy were probably behind it. here's what i know. the people who like these rules meant to slow down the building of infrastructure, certainly not the working men and women of america, it's the radical environmental groups, probably the trial lawyers, and another group that loves it when we do this to ourselves, the chinese communist party. they look at us and say, holy cow, these americans can't get out of their own way. nine years to permit a bridge. this is killing us in terms of competitiveness. mayors don't like these rules. so what we're going to do next week, madam president, my congressional review act resolution is simple. it says we're going to rescind this biden rule that's going to make it harder to build american infrastructure. and here's the thing, right now we have a very big list of groups that are supporting my resolution. we've got all the building trades of america, the operating engineers, the flcio of alaska, the labors international, the biggest construction union in america, and so many gro

gina mccarthy, former regulator in massachusetts was telling me how folks use to get a rag out and wipeexas had —— oil refineries. and all the prevailing winds are away. ijust refineries. and all the prevailing winds are away. i just looked refineries. and all the prevailing winds are away. ijust looked up the road in an apartment complex, we moved to delaware. and just up the road to a school i went to and because it was a four lane hwy that was accessible my mother drove us rather than us being able to walk. guess what? the first frost, you know what was happening, you had to put on you winchell wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. that's why i and so many other people i grew up have cancer and why for the longest time delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation. but that's the past. and we're going to build a different future. with 1, one with clean energy, good paying jobs with up to 15 years ago america generated more than half of the energy from coal—fired plants with that's it's up coal—fired plants with that's it's up to 20%. because there's a big transit

united states the size of texas and $500 billion, and then it is a failure, here's president biden, gina mccarthyn absolute failure so i want to know when does green energy begin to work and how much more do you have to pay, ask these questions you are told you that i climate change or misinformation, these are honest questions the american people deserve to know. a terrible disaster of coal plants. wind turbines are failure. congratulations what you've done to the people of massachusetts. ashley: even the germans, they are out of their ways, boosting coal production to get over this energy hump and beyond to deal with natural gas supply cut from russia and beyond. it harkens to what the country experienced in the 1970s not with natural gas but gasoline on art and even days, long lines at gas stations, are we getting sucked into these lower gas prices for now, so we are facing something like that and soon. >> americans don't have to think far to 2019 when our very robust fossil fuel economy brought low gas prices at the pump. with utility prices and economic indicators that were incredibly in 201

in addition to his deputy chief of staff bruce reed and also gina mccarthy, national climate adviser,o not have word yet on the first lady and where that stands. but we can tell you that he is also taking the antiviral paxlovid, this has proven to be very effective. when you find out that you have tested positive. and so he is taking that. we are told that he does plan to participate in all planned meetings and work in isolation there at the white house. dr. jen ashton is joining me now as we receive this news that the president of the united states has tested positive for covid-19. so, jen, really no surprise. i mean, we have been talking now for a couple weeks on how covid has been spreading. and for a number of years, number of us have been lucky that we haven't tested positive, but now have and now the president testing positive for covid. >> right, and to be honest, so many people just when you talk about president biden are surprised that he has been able to avoid this for so long. but we have to look at his medical condition and who he is. and then what we know about this virus

for those in the biden administration, gina mccarthy and others, someone should ask her why you discriminated against alaska native people, because that's exactly what you're doing. you have right here some of our alaska native leaders in this statement -- the administration cannot proclaim to support meaningful tribal consultation and environmental justice while at the same time killing a critical resource project that supports the inupiat communities of the north slope. that's right there. from our great alaska native leaders. the alaska federation of natives. i have their letter. that's the group representing every single alaska native organization in the state, the biggest group in the state. fully supports the willow project. the regional corporation leadership fully supports the willow project. the inupiat communities of the arctic slope fully supports the willow project. senator murkowski just put out a press release. madam president, i'd like to submit it for the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. sullivan: alaskans voice strong support for the willow project. she h
