host: when it comes to this idea of a green new deal, it's been balance idea amongst new members of congress. what is what it does and is there a specific blueprint for it? >> we're very excited about the idea of a green new deal and more broadly, we are thrilled by all of the energy and the enthusiasm that both new and returning members of congress are bringing to the need to combat the climate crisis, which has never been greater. at the center of the green new deal is the effort to get to 100% renewable energy. as we were working with our partners across the country on a new campaign called the clean energy for all campaign to give communities the power to choose pollution free communities and commits to 100% renewable energy by 2050, we had 500 50 successful candidates up and down the ballot committed to that. we have seen opportunities in congress and at the state level to make real progress to double down on the need for a new clean energy economy that will protect the frontline communities, the communities of color that are hurt first and worst by pollution, it will create good paying

so we've been doing this come into the green new deal in its language talks about massive investments in new green energy technologies and programs as if we haven't been paying enough. they also have the term redistribution, that's another takeover of the economy precisely at the time we are doing so well, so the program has been tried before, the money has been flowing in. how long will we pay for failure? >> guest: we believe there is an enormous opportunity here, and we need to person thinks the green infrastructure. let's use basic common sense to ultimately and finally transitioned to the clean energy economy people voted for in november, that we clearly need. we did find out yesterday from the uk scientists of the un scientists are not able to do their job because of this ridiculous shutdown for the sake of his xenophobic and wasteful wall, so we found out from his uk scientists that 2018 was the hottest year on record. that was followed by the fourth hottest year on record and the only three hottest above that for 2015, 2016 and 2017. plenty of the hottest years on record have

but the committee is far weaker than what backers of a green new deal had envisioned. e committee will not have subpoena power or the power to draft legislation. one of the most prominent backers of the green new deal has been newly sworn in new york congresswoman alexandra ocasio-cortez. on sunday, she was interviewed on "60 minutes" last night by anderson cooper. you're talking about zero carbon emissions, no use of fossil fuels within 12 years? >> that is the goal. it is ambitious. >> how's that possible? everyone needs to drive an electric car? >> it will require a lot of rapid change that we don't even conceive as possible right now. >> what is the problem with trying to push our technological capacity to the furthest extent possible? close this would quire raising taxes. >> there is an element -- yeah, people are going to have to start paying their fair share of taxes. >> do you have any specifics? >> you look at our tax rates back in the 1960's, and when you you say fromtem, zero to $75,000 may be 10% or 15%, etc. but once you get to the tiptop on your 10 million

on the green energy deal, this is going to the democrats. k schultz is on this. 7.2 million jobs could be limited on under this green new deal. 1.1 million -- 2.4 million and motor vehicle in part, 1.4 million, military personnel, if, as alexandria ocasio-cortez and others, the military spending would be cut in half. again, all pushing to her -- and they say it will create more jobs in a green economy. i get it to the climate changed thing, that is going to be their issue. that is it for them. she said that is the primary issue. aoc. and what is counting not that she can run for president. >> tens of millions of new jobs in this burgeoning clean energy market. >> laura: of its burgeoning why do need to government to step in? >> just like nih steps and to facilitate -- >> laura: if it's a b thing, the free market -- it's the thing. let it go. >> other countries are improving their industries and we are not -- >> laura: we have a stronger gdp in the world. you know why? we don't follow necessarily what other countries do. our economy right now

the new green deal, they don't care whether they have the revenue to pay for, they just want to pass it. >> he was an economic minor, she knows more about the economy than some other people, we will see how this plays out. have a great weekend. it is not just lawmakers ramping up verbal jabs at the president. howard kurtz standing by next saying media criticism of the president has reached unprecedented new heights. >> if this continues we are going to ask your cabinet to take a vote on whether you are fit for office and invoke the 25th amendment. >> but the president is getting support from an unlikely source. what he a progressive democratic senator elizabeth warren agree on. stick around and find out. daniel hoffman live after the break after the president's about to pull us troops out of syria could we wind up with more american resources and lives in the region and in the running to become the new defense secretary. ♪ there goes our first big order. ♪ 44, 45, 46... how many of these did they order? ooh, that's hot. ♪ you know, we could sell these. nah. ♪ we don't bake. ♪ opportu

a lot of elected officials have embraced the idea of a green new deal and that's great. it's become fashionable to do so. but i think it's time as a party that we started putting some meat on the bone and laying out exactly how a green new deal should -- what it should include and i believe that that plan should be bold and ambitious and most importantly, achieveable. i'm a little bit tired of listening to things that are pie in the sky, that we never are going to pass, never going to afford. i think it's just disingenuous to promote those things, you've got to do something that's practical. we need a transition as quickly as possible to clean energy and we need -- that has to be part of the 2020 party platform for the democratic party, period. i've already begun working on putting together the details of what i believe is a green new deal, what it should look like. and whether i run for president or not, i will work to ensure the -- fighting climate change and spurring economic development in areas that have depended on fossil fuels is a top priority for the democratic n

( cheers and applause ) >> cooper: nancy pelosi is incredibly powerful. >> ocasio-cortez: she absolutely is. and-- >> cooper: and you're occupying her office. >> ocasio-cortez: oh my goodness, i could have thrown up that morning, i was so nervous. but i kept, kind of, just coming back to the idea that what they're fighting for wasn't wrong. and i-- i had also sat down with-- with leader pelosi beforehand, and she told me her story. she came from activism. and i knew that she would absolutely understand how advocacy can change the needle on really important issues. >> cooper: ocasio-cortez and her allies managed to get more than 40

let's dig a little bit more, jillian, into this green new deal.fically, what do they want in terms of the move to renewables? >> they're looking at 100% renewables. it's probably going to be within 10 to 12 years is the goal. paul: step back from that. that means 100% of american energy for electricity, transportation, for everything. >> yes. paul: renewables? solar? wind? biomass? hydropower? it's less than 10% now. >> yeah, this is a really radical goal. it amounts to a complete remaking of the american economy. it will touch everyone's lives. it's also by the way going to be incredibly regressive. we're seeing poor families paying mor more of their income towards utilities. paul: how can they pull it off? >> they expect to put it up into the air and hope people will be attracted to it or -- again, we have said many times on this program, enough people for them to win elections. not the entire country. more than 50%. paul: you then just put this goal out there, squeeze companies to slowly try to make it and like the european plan, cap and trade,

the green parties green new deal calls for replacing non-essential individual means of transport with high quality and modern mass transit. this is a geeky way of instituting a ban on cars. the who decides whether your car is a non-essential individual means of transport? maybe kamala and crew will bring back obama's green job scar, why not? to achieve the green utopia it will be necessary to elect identify everything else, including transport. if you love your suv, sedan, hatchback, is too bad. only electric. if you were deemed worthy of owning a car at all, remember in kamala's gas free world the government gas bags have all the power. and even big gulp man, mike bloomberg is baulking at harris green folly >>> i'm tired of listening at things that are pie in the sky that are never going to pass, never going to afford. i think it's disingenuous to promote those things, you have to do something that's practical. >> laura: that means banning all kohl's, cars, taxing water use, it would be all on the table, to force americans to bend to the trends of the socialist left. now more power f

tom friedman in 2007 used the phrase green new deal. e-green alliance. we saw it with regards to nader. we see it with snide. so part of what we're hearing underneath all of this conversation is an attempt to really change the page, to turn the page here. >> but, eddie, let me ask you, it's a follow-up question, i actually talked about it in a book i wrote in 2009 and didn't use the words a green new deal but said that we needed to revolutionize alternative sources of energy, but what we've seen time and again is that there is a trigger point and the trigger point comes when it starts to cost working class voters, working class consumers, more money. we saw it actually in the riots across france over the past month. wouldn't that happen here as well? wouldn't working class americans, wouldn't consumers revolt against paying higher taxes and higher energy prices? >> i'm not sure that's the case, joe. i think if we make the argument that we are all stewards of the planet, if we make the argument that this is not just simply a question for

and end of oil, so called a new green deal, a green new deal. whatever that means. watch this. >> i support a green new deal and i will tell you why. climate change is an existential threat to us, and we have to deal with the reality of it. >> sean: hold on, the t nationalization of energy. oh, that worked out so well for venezuela. why not try it here? that means millions and millions. we are now the biggest oil producer in the world, surpassing the evil regime of russia and the saudis. think of all of the high-paying jobs, careers of people in the energy industry. think of energy independence gone. we will be dependent again on foreign oil. efficient, affordable sources of energy to heat your home, to fill up your car, to turn on your lights, gone. the lifeblood of the economy, gone. the same left-wing geniuses that were scaring people in the '70s to believe -- look at that, the big freeze, the next ice age is coming. that's what they told us in the '70s. that turned into the world has a fever, as al gore said, and scaring people. he even once predicted, al gore, t

will you fully endorse the green new deal tonight? >> i support a green new deal, and i will tell you why. climate change is an existential threat to us, and we have got to deal with the reality of it. we have got to deal with the reality of the fact that there are people trying to peddle some idea that we should deny it, and they're peddling science fiction instead of what we should do, which is rely on science fact. i know what we need to do in terms of so much of what the plan has to be around investing in solar, in wind. i'll tell you that -- and this gets back to also kyle's point about jobs of the 21st century. the bureau of labor statistics just came out in the middle of last year with a list of the top 20 jobs in the united states, for which we're going to see the greatest amount of growth. and it's going to be a function of the fact that we need those jobs to be filled, and we don't have the skilled labor to fill them. number one and number two on that list, installation and maintenance of wind turbines and solar paneling. and

in addition to the new green deal that she wants, as medicare for all that's going to cost trillionsf dollars, we are going to soak the rich with a tax rate we haven't seen in a long time, i'm not sure that's a winning message. i'm not sure even the party is going to buy into, 70% taxes for the wealthiest people in this country -- that's not going to be a good platform in 2020. >> shannon: i want you to quickly weigh in on this. >> i'm for climate change legislation, i think we have to offer more jobs to people but we can't guarantee jobs, we can't engage and compensatory taxes, we need a pro growth agenda that's inclusive, not a redistribution if we are to succeed. >> i like to see any lawmaker who honestly answer his questions on what they intend to do. the approach is not credible, she's talking about both sides of her mouth. she wants to collect tax revenue from the rich but she doesn't care how we pay for anything, she doesn't care if we have the revenue. this green new deal, they don't care whether or not they have the revenue to pay for it, they just want to pass it. >> shanno

the context was she was talking about her green new deal idea. how she cooper asked would pay for it. archie you going to have to raise taxes? need to payple their fair share. in the past we had taxes as high as 70%. that became the number, especially the 70% number. that became injected into the national conversation. host: how much of this conversation was happening before she came to congress with the presidential campaign of bernie sanders? was in theie sanders same direction. insane against the rich they are not paying their fair share. if you look at what he was had no hillary clinton increase in the top marginal rate in her plan. 52%, well shy had of the 70% that aoc casually mentioned. this is the term we use, shifting the overton window. that is the range of acceptable things that are acceptable to talk about because of the plausibility. number, we out the shifted the overton window to the left. plan she talked about this was on late-night television recently. this is an interview with the freshman congressman. >> when we talk about the

(grant) the legislation would launch san francisco's "green new deal" fund. it would essentially jumpstart the process of creating a public utility to replace p-g- and-e. the green new deal would provide clean, green, public power in san francisco. hillary ronen says it's something that has been in the works for years. she says with p-g-and-e declaring bankruptcy... now is the perfect time to launch it. earlier today supervisor ronen talked to kron 4 about her proposal... and how the utility would benefit people in san francisco. hillary ronen/san francisco supervisor "there won't be inflated salaries for the managers of the utility. everything will be transparent. the process will always be before the puc commission which is a pubic body. and then we wont have to follow what pg&e is doing and take 25% of rate payers costs to divert into profits for shareholders and bloated execitive salaries. we can reinvest that money into a local buildout program that would convert our energy supply to 100% renewable and clean energy as well as ensure that we have good livi

the proposal for a green new deal also sought to bar congress members who accept money from the fossil fuel industry. at least 45 congress members have backed the green new deal spearheaded by alexandria ocasio-cortez. high profile senators including bernie sanders, cory booker, and elizabeth warren have also come out in support of the proposal. the trump admiministration has proposed rule changes that would make it far easier for coal-fired power plants to release mercury and other toxins into the atmosphere. the plan proposed by the enenvironmental protection ageny on friday would change how the federal government calculates the costs of pollution on human health, dramatically downplaying the financial burden to society from deaths and illnesses. the obama administration estimated the rules now set to be overturned would prevent 11,000 premature deaths each year. incoming r republican senanatort romney of utah writes thatat president trump has not risen to the mantle of the office. in a new year's day op-ed published by "the washington post," romney says he supports trump's policies,

the concept was she was talking about her green or new deal idea and anderson cooper asks if that is going to cost a lot of money, how will we pay for it and are two going to have to raise taxes? she said, there are a lot of people out there who need to pair there -- pay their fair share and in the past we have had taxes as high a 60 or 70% and the conversation moved on from there. that became the number, the 70% number became injected into the national conversation in a way that has not in a long time. that was the focus of our article. >> how much of the conversation was happening before she came to congress with the presidential campaign of bernie sanders? sanders tonally was in the same direction as alexandria ocasio cortez, railing against the rich and saying they are not paying their fair share. if you look at what he was proposing, hillary clinton had no increase in the top marginal rate in her plan, bernie sanders had 52%, well shy of the 60 to 70% that aoc casually mentioned. shiftingthat we use is the overton window, that being ,he range of acceptable ideas not necessarily

the green new deal, for example, more higher pay for transit workers -- >> right. >> history says no. we had the 70% rate before ronald reagan came into office in 1981, we had, as you mentioned, the rate over 90% in the 1950s, and history says people don't pay it. they won't work and give over almost their entire paycheck to the government. so they figure out and spend a lot of wasted time designing tax strategies to not pay that rate. the economy grows very slowly because instead of creating things and inventing things, people spend their time trying to shelter income. paul: there's really a lot of economic evidence on this for second earners in a household. marty feldstein of harvard has done this, for example. if you pay, you have one worker, say it's the husband in the household, pays 50%. and then his wife goes to work because she wants to work, wants to contribute, and if her income is going to be 50 or 70%, she'll say, well, that's not worth it. so you get less work from those second potential earners. >> yeah, you're absolutely right. and i do think it's al

. >> so it doesn't mean that they're all for the new green deal, the green new deal, i should say, or a much higher rate for the wealthy. >> your average american voter doesn't necessarily have the knowledge, the specifics of what the deal means. but they do know that climate is an issue we have to tackle pretty quickly. and they believe in science. i would say that's another aspect of it. so it is more about the outcome. >> so the democratic party moves more toward the left and there are degrees of how far that is. does that pull the republican with them more toward the left? maybe more toward the center? or does that push the republican party farther to the right? >> i would argue that the republican party being so far right, the republican party getting behind candidates like roy moore, donald trump, of course, you look at some of the very far right candidates who have views that aren't just politically abhorrent, they're morally abhorrent to the normal republican party. i would argue that has radicalized democrats. i've heard this. we've gone around the country in focus groups wit

here comes the green new deal. left, including from some likely presidential candidates. they will put climate change front and center in 2020. climate change. first of all, what is this green new deal? well, broadly speaking, it is a tax and spend plan on a gigantic scale, much higher income taxes, new taxes on oil and gas companies. they think it would raise trillions of dollars which would then be quote, invested by the government in low carbon infrastructure development, end quote. we're talking industrial strength government spending here, plus there is a grab bag of add-ons. a much higher minimum wage, a guaranteed job for all, rebates for the poor to fix inequality, 100% renewable energy, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. senator elizabeth warren supports the idea of a green new deal. she's running for president. senator cory booker, he, too, has endorsed it. senator bernie sanders, he's endorsed it. he claims, he says climate change is the biggest crisis of all. beto o'rourke is supportive of the concept. re
