. >> energy secretary jennifer granholm doing political playbook for virtual discussion on presidentrastructure and climate proposal. this is 30 minutes. good morning i am a co-author for political playbook. president biden made a major promised to cut carbon emissions by half by 2030. that is even before he passed his 2 trillion-dollar focus infrastructure bill. this requires rapid action. some might say warp speed to shift our power sector and replace our gasoline cars with electric ones. it requires a buy-in from the private sector. people like you and me. this seemingly impossible mission falls on our desk secretary of energy jennifer granholm will be spearheading the transition from our energy economy. is biden climate pledge realistic? or is it just aspirational? during this morning's u.s. secretary trust the infrastructure plan in her own proposals for green energy. electric vehicles new wind and solar technologies. as part of biden's call for an energy transition. thank you secretary for being with us. for those tuning of the lifestream you can follow the conversation on twit

that is why i have asked my secretary of energy jennifer granholm to speed the development of criticalhnologies to tackle the climate crisis. no single technology is an answer on its own. every single sector requires innovation. this effort will propel the most impactful breakthroughs at home and around the world and lower the cost we are paying now for polluting the air so badly. we will move to net zero in our -- all countries. every country needs to invest in new technologies as we work forward to deal with net zero omissions. i am also very proud to announce that the united states is again becoming a key leader in emission innovation. a pact between the world's largest economies to ramp up investment in clean energy research and development. today, america is once again stepping in a leadership role. we will be joining nations in efforts to d carbonized critical sectors across the board including industrial sectors where we will join with sweden and india in the leadership group for industry transition. the power sector, where we will work alongside of u.k. to speed up progress tow

yesterday, former michigan governor now energy secretary, jennifer granholm was asked about this issue obviously the preference is to have this done in a bipartisan way. 80% of america supports investing in infrastructure. that is democrats, republicans, and independents. the government is conservatively reaching out to republicans to say, come to the table. if you don't like the component, tell us what you would like to see in the bill. the vast majority of this bill includes things that publicans are supporting, like roads and bridges, like broadband, like water, manufacturing supply chains. these are all things that republicans have introduced bills on. so come to the table, we want to make it bipartisan. host: will republicans come to the table, especially with the corporate tax increase from 21% to 28%. this is a headline, roy blunt who is stepping down says the biden structure built would be an easy bipartisan win if it was more focused. he made those comments yesterday on "this week." we will have your comments on whether you think the bill can be partisan. but from abc news yes

i'm hanging out about jennifer granholm and tom vilsack and michael regan, every one of these cabinet agencies really have a lot to offer about how we reduce our emissions, but equally importantly, how we just rejuvenate ourselves as a country and start investing in the kind of future we want to hand our kids. >> how much of that big goal announced by the president this week, this idea of cutting our national carbon emissions in half by the end of this decade, how much of that -- how much toward that goal do we get by the infrastructure bill? i know the infrastructure bill is a big priority for the administration, and i know the legislative effort to pass that is well underway. i believe that some version of the infrastructure bill ultimately will pass thanks to the budget reconciliation process, even if republicans don't come along. how much is that overall goal dependent on that one bill? >> well, i think president biden was really interested in moving that bill regardless of what our commitment was, because he saw it as being so vitally important for our economy and for, you know,

special presidential envoy john kerry and white house climate team members gina mccarthy, jennifer granholm plan to combat climate change. can they accomplish these goals? they're ambitious. >>> next, las vegas has looked a little bit like a ghost town during the pandemic, right? now there's new hope that could bring life back to sin city. >>> also, new jobs. could they be on the horizon? their love keeps you and your family centered. this mother's day, show your love with a gift from the center of me collection. ♪time after...♪ exclusively at kay. ♪time♪ from prom dresses to workouts exclusively at kay. and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have long term consequences. now as you're thinking about all the vaccines your teen might need make sure you ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indee

i asked your colleague, jennifer granholm last week, if you cannot get those ten republican senate votes, are you willing to use the senate rules called reconciliation, which would allow it to pass with 50 votes plus vice president harris, secretary granholm seemed to suggest the answer is yes. do you agree? >> well, again, the president has said, we have to get this done. so inaction is not an option. but there is a strong preference for the president, the administration, certainly for me to do these things in regular order. it's better from a policy perspective and you know it's how this administration prefers to work. so i will keep working on the phone lines, talking to republicans, listening to republicans and try to get somewhere we can all agree on. again, i know i am repeating this until i am blue in the face. it is a remarkable fact that that package in whole and in pieces already has bipartisan support and most republicans saying we all support it. not just in washington. >> you are talking republican voters, according to polls, but i have been in this town a few decade for now

joining us to discuss, mad dam secretary jennifer granholm. happy easter to you.his bill that includes a lot, that is not tra terribly considered infrastructure. there is $400 billion for in-home care for elderly americans and americans with disabilities. another $213 billion for affordable housing. it spends more on electric vehicles than on roads and bridges. now, you know that republicans are going to have concerns about all of this. if president biden wants to make this bipartisan, why not focus this bill on what everyone can support? roads, bridges, airports, rural broadband? >> well, it is focused on all of those things. i mean, republicans and democrats historically have wanted to see infrastructure spending on broadband, which this bill clubs, wanted to see infrastructure spending on water and removing lead from water systems, which this bill includes. but this is the americans jobs ac. it's focused on creating good sustaining jobs and a whole array of sectors that will help us win the future. it's the biggest investment in america since fdr, since the new

energy secretary jennifer granholm assured that the 2 trillion dollar plan may benefit the bay area in many ways. >> the american jobs plan tackles which she says has been several decades of disinvestment across the country here in california. the funding could replace aging infrastructure that has been blamed for deadly fires in recent years by upgrading power lines and the grid. plus, boost funding for bart, which has lost significant revenue during the pandemic to make it more reliable for commuters. >> and we know that these climate events only becoming more and more frequent. i mean, california is drier this year. you know, again, so, you know, we don't want to see this continue to effort and to be able to underground wires to harden our transmission grid its infrastructure that is relevant to today. and obviously transit is an important aspect of that trains. are we are buses are electrifying the national highway adding charging stations for electric vehicles so that people don't have range anxiety. >> a major focus of the plan is also in transitioning to more clean energy like w

>> reporter: on the issue of bipartisanship, alex, we also heard from the energy secretary, jennifer granholm, who was on another show this morning, saying that yes, they would like gop lawmakers on board but conceding if ultimately they don't come to the table and they can't hash out a deal, that democrats are prepared to go it alone. that is significant because that's what that party had to do in order to get covid relief across this finish line. it's something the president has said he would be open to as well. the difference here is that he is reaching out to republicans in a more expansive way. he's going to invite them to the oval office which we did see with the last round. but he says what's different this time is he wants to get this passed but he knows a lot of changes and modifications are likely before they get that. but he says inaction is not an option, they would like to see something done not just on physical infrastructure but what they call human infrastructure. >> while infrastructure is not getting report from congressional republicans, it is getting support from their con

plan are transportation secretary pete buttigieg, labor secretary marty walsh, energy secretary jennifer granholm gina raimondo. president biden and vice president harris then spent two hours in a closed-door cabinet meeting which marked yet another return of professionalism to the white house. yesterday president biden announced his plan in collier, pennsylvania, a suburb of pittsburgh. donald trump won that congressional district by ten points in 2016 and 2020. joe biden won it by three points. joining us now is congressman conor lamb of pennsylvania, member of the house committee on transportation and infrastructure. representative lamb, this legislation is is coming your way in that committee. >> we're excited for it. this is really what we ran on, trying to help areas like mine in western pennsylvania get up off their feet months after the pandemic but after 40 years of job loss and the collapse of the steel industry. we know that you have to make these types of investments in order for us to be competitive again, not just competitive against ohio, which has been our longtime foe. but agains

more about how this is going to change and it's something, in fact, that the energy secretary jennifer granholm said on one of the sunday shows this morning that's about the only thing at this point that's a guarantee. take a listen. >> the president is willing to negotiate what this looks like. he knows that his current plan is going to be changed. that's the nature of compromise. so whether it is in one big package or several packages, he wants to talk to republicans. >> one area where they are also likely to is have a debate about compromise is the corporate tax rate and the hikes. the president wanted to raise them from 21% to 28%, but we know as some republicans have stated opposition it's likely they could accept a 25% compromise. that's one area where perhaps we know the conversation is going, but again in terms of the packages and the order that also has to be hashed out. we expect to hear more from the president on what phase two of this infrastructure and jobs plan could be when he does give that joint address and session to congress which really was supposed to take place last month
