greta: no. we should do of course everything we can to make sure that china takes their responsibility. but there's not really much -- all i can do is to try to advocate for global change. all you can do is to take action and try to create a global pressure on china so that they will have to take action. as you say, we can't just go there and ask them to do it. that would be very nice. but we need to think realistically as well. mr. norman: there's nothing in the bill that puts any type of pressure other than i guess showing the example. thank you for your testimony. can you address the direct employment in the united states that the green new deal would effect? we're all seeing the gas prices jump 70 cents or more. we're now dependent on foreign countries that particularly don't have our best interests. can you discuss how this green new deal would effect energy costs, gas costs and the many other minerals that they are prohibiting to be mined in other states? mr. macchiarola: sure. thank you f

let's start with what we heard from greta thunberg.ss alongside greta in 2019 where you said the only thing that would change us is a new era. do you agree with what we heard from greta, what she's saying now, our country is still not doing enough? >> 100%. in union square park in new york, there's a climate countdown clock that counts down the amount of time we have. it's at six years. we have six years left, according to the best science, not six years to wait to take action on the climate crisis. within six years, we have to have transformed our energy grid and be -- that's the time. the science says we have to get down to zero emissions by 2030, not zero emissions by 2050. while i appreciate the biden administration is doing some things on the climate crisis, they aren't matching with the best available science, because we need to be way more aggressive than what's actually happening. it's not out of just choice. these numbers -- we don't pick them. it's the science. i agree 100% with greta. >> you and i talked after you testified

and, i think that the pandemic, greta, has revealed what was normal should not have been normal, and i think we want to come back to a new normal. which is i think possible if there is a folder way of reimagining our economy, our country's purpose, and its needs. host: explain that more, what was exposed was not normal and what should be the new normal. guest: what was exposed was terrible inequality, we saw in the disparities of those who died from covid, the essential workers. we see the crisis of a country that did not have health needs adequately met. we see it in a country that has gone to war more often than waging peace. we saw it in racial injustice, which, because of what we are seeing play out in minneapolis, but because of police brutality intersecting with pandemic, we saw some of the largest protest movements in our country's history around black lives matter, around the killing of african-american men, raising questions about what is security in many of our communities. and, we sought in the climate crisis, the extreme weather that has afflicted this country intersectin

greta, you know greta...eneration that's going to have to look after it. what would you say to people, especially young people, who feel there is no point doing it because no one is listening anyway? people are listening. greta also visited paradise, the californian town consumed by fire in 2018. please help us. we are never getting out of here- — we are never getting out of here. she said making the documentaries confirmed her belief that government and the media needs to recognise tackling climate change is as urgent as tackling the pandemic. the corona pandemic is a tragedy and nothing else. this actually shows we are able to treat an emergency like an emergency and we are able to shift social norms very quickly. imagine if media would start treating the climate crisis like a crisis, that could change everything overnight. the swedish activist has achieved extraordinary world attention. is she worried her star could wane? i would not say i am worried, i know that will happen. i am surprised people have bee

also with us is greta brawner. what do we have? >> things look different for the president's first joint address. there are a lot of firsts to go along with them. the democratic congresswoman from california tweets out, "for the first time ever, two women will be sitting behind the president of the u.s. as he delivers the joint address to congress tonight." she notes when she first come to congress in 1997, she was one of only 56 women in the house. there are now 122. she says this is progress, this is history. the speaker told reporters that the speech, typically, they would be 1600 people in the house chamber for the speech. but because of the pandemic, only 200 will be in attendance. leadership will not be there -- some leadership that will not be there is congressman steve scalise. he says he will not be attending because he wants to give other members who have not had an opportunity to attend this joint session a chance to do so. however, the hill notes senator mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate and kevin mcc

now greta kempton whose photograph you saw earlier was born in austria in 1903 and she began painting at a young age as so many women painters that i'll talk about today did. after she moved to the united states in the 1920s kempton became an art student in new york. and soon after she made a name for herself by painting the portraits of several prominent individuals including the trumans. so in 1947 president harry s truman commissioned his presidential portrait from kempton and for the rest of her career, she served as sort of a court painter creating paintings and portraits for harry truman best truman and their daughter margaret. she even turned down offers to paint other us presidents out of loyalty to the truman family in particular kemptons likeness of truman, which you can see pictured here rosen popularity, and it was later used for his official campaign posters for a commemorative postage stamp and for a commemorative coin next slide. so now that we've talked about porter tests, i'd like to expand our view of the white house collection to include women's sculptors and painte

greta: more reaction. cbs put out this tweet tonight noting the statement from democratic senator mark kelly, the new senator, while i share president biden's urgency in fixing our broken immigration system, what i did not hear tonight was a plan to address the immediate crisis at the border. cnn noted how we all saw the freshman talking to president biden as he was walking out. she told cnn that she asked him to, please go to the border and support our agents. he said he will call me to discuss what they are working on. you saw her hand him her card at the end of that. from kevin mccarthy, he commented after the speech, this whole thing could have just been an email. from our viewers, here is spread in new york. i like that he talked about health care, i also like the scale he is looking at because we need to make major changes to save our country. linda from texas, i love that he said by american and he wants to work on cleaner water and the increasing load on the electrical grid. and knowing people who

caller: good morning, greta. i give president biden double-a. he is also.ll republicans do is complain, complain, complain. trump spent too much money. if not, biden could do all the things he wanted to do. host: why do you give him a double-a? what has he done to deserve that? caller: he has big plans, and i believe in him. he would not want to spend money if he could not afford it. so now we have a real president, presidential figure. so i am proud of him. thank you. host: jt in kentucky, texas, says he gives him an a+ for the first 100 days. republicans helping him will never happen. tax breaks for the rich would be the only thing they would help with. if he wants to help the working people, he has to forget about republican help. bobby in alabama, a republican. what is your grade? caller: hi, i think he is a zero. i just don't understand -- i can't understand why the people think he doing such a great job when he had not done anything. he is more like a puppet than a president. i have never saw anything -- i would have never dreamed we would have a lead

caller: good morning greater -- good morning, greta, and good morning, mr. walker. on the one hand, let's talk about fake news. the national enquirer, they are free to tell lies about people and get away with it. there is a story i heard about a young man wore a washington redskins shirt to school and they made him go home and change it. come on. how does that even work? in a perfect world it doesn't. you want to talk free speech on college campuses? are they going to make the seminoles change their name? the florida football team? i have an idea for the redskins name -- the groundhogs. that is all. guest: that one sounded more like a statement of opinion. to me, i'm not even going to get into the details of that particular point, other than to say the things we are talking about by and large mainstream conservative speakers on campus are people talking about the benefits of having individuals and families make decisions about where to spend their money. not even in terms of government. i tell people all the time as a conservative, i believe if you take a dollar out

[video clip] pres. biden: it has been 100 days since i first sat at my desk in the oval office and went to work with you, the american people. i want to thank you, thank the american people, because i think we have gotten a lot done. i promised, even before i was sworn in, that i would get my first 100 days

already, green technologies are becoming far cheaper greta thunberg is angry because efforts to stopears have been the warmest ever recorded 5— climate service calpernicus. we saw the highest weekly level of co2 on record this month. a19 point to eight parts per million. it's estimated that if current trends continue, as this graph shows, by 203a, the world will be 1.5 continue, as this graph shows, by 203a, the world will be1.5 degrees warner then before the industrial revolution. joe biden's summit is the first big climate meeting in an important year. it will culminate in november, when world leaders meet during the cop26 summit. looking ahead to that, claire healy is from the climate think tank e3g in washington. we've heard pledges before. this isn't the first summit. i suspect it will be the last. i think what's different now is we have the shift. i think it's cut in countries' national interest to turn these pledges into action. the politics and economics have changed. the public want their government to act, markets want their leaders to act, money is going to flow, so within

this is where greta thunberg is saying, look, you guys, i'm going to have to live with this.ith this, and she used the phrase uncomfortable truth. this goes back to 21 years ago with the inconvenient truth. it's a long row to hoe, but as everybody in the science community says, the time is now. come on. and the arguments at the climate summit were that the developing world is where the real opportunities are. if we can get the developing world to embrace renewable energy now and skip the fossil fuel step, then the whole world will come out ahead and we can do that relatively cheaply. meanwhile the conservatives are saying the oil industry gave us plastics and clothes and medicines. yes, that's great. can't do it anymore. we can't burn fossil fuels anymore. over to you. sorry. thanks for listening. >> it is very interesting, the fossil fuels. what difference would that make? >> it's going to be a critical part of any successful effort to tackle the crisis. those of us in the industrial world who have had access to two centuries' worth of cheap but dirty energy that has pollute
