white house senior adviser john podesta will reportedly replace john kerry as us special climate changey. >> kerry is stepping down to work on president biden's reelection campaign. podesta returned to the white house last year to lead the biden administration's climate task force. the climate envoy. job was created to fight climate change on the global stage. the pentagon now says it knows who is responsible for the drone attack that killed three us service members and injured dozens in jordan. officials are attributing the attack to the islamic resistance in iraq, which is an umbrella group of iran backed militias. the white house and the pentagon say they hold iran responsive and have signaled that they are preparing for retaliatory strikes in the middle east. iran threatened today to decisively respond to any us attack in the days ahead. >> we take a wide range of considerations into account to prevent the situation in israel and gaza from, uh, you know, expanding into a broader conflict in addition to the possible military action, president biden also pushing for new economic sanct

conversation but by saying just moments ago while we were here, the white house announced that john podesta is going to be taking over for john kerry was doing for the last three years as a so-called climate czar, podesta has been a key figure on policy with. barack obama. but more than that, probably is almost done more for public lands, wilderness you know, national forest than anybody. he's been working the new america foundation. he's a troubleshooter. we know he ran hillary hillary clinton's campaign. but we'll see how elevates climate in. a presidential election cycle. one of the problems with it is where i teach at rice university, the environmental history all students care deeply about climate and i always worry come fall, whatever there are, it gets dropped. it's like a big issue. but then, well, there's a war, there's a gasoline prices, economy, and it never sometimes is able to stay in to the forefront of policy. so i was going to ask you, i mean, what how did you get started focusing on environmental issues? well, let me start by actually picking up on something else you said a

. $4.3 million and now john podesta, a dicey character who is involved in every suspicious thing goingth the democratic party dating back to the clinton years is taking over. in charge of implementing the climate provisions of the inflation reduction act. now he gets this mysterious climate czar title. my sense trump won't have that if he wins or nikki haley won't retail that if she is victorious. a czarship that is biden sent rick that needs to be transparent and that's why they're getting sued. >> harris: what can they do about the czar who is in charge of the border? >> brian: that's a no-show job. >> harris: another foreign policy mistake for the biden administration sparking a retraction and an apology. conflicting information over whether they alerted iraqi leaders before u.s. attacks on iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps inside iraq. here is how it an unfolded. >> on iraq, we did inform the iraqi government prior to the strikes. >> as for the specific response on friday, there was not a pre-notification. we informed iraqis immediately after the strikes occurred. >> i deepl

he described the transition integrity project led by jennifer granholm, john podesta, donna brazile andthers who are gathering to war game, election contested scenarios. they were ready for trump insurrection. mr. trump never insure recollected anything. never charged, never convicted. what happened the democrats are insurrectionists from the white house on down. the fani willis, nathan wade catastrophe is a bunt much of dirt and grime near the bottom of the greasy politcal poll of once great city of atlanta which has been dragged into lawlessness and crime by left-wing progressive democrats. democrats like these look as government not a noble calling but a way to get rich off the government taxpayer trough. to use government power to enrich themselves and prosecute their opponents. the democratic party has become a corrupt party from top to bottom, from joe biden influence peddling, to election sabotage, to weaponized lawfare, to russian hoaxes, to throwing donald trump in jail for 700 years and through constant lying to the public. and i will say, as a former democrat many, many years

whoever succeeds him, john podesta, they're going to be held accountable.ng as the chairman of the federal energy regulatory commission, everything i did was subject to the freedom of information act. i got foias, that's what i call them, my phone records, my e-mails, my texts, and it did impact behavior because you understand you're accountable to the public. and i think when these folks are acting if operating as if they are free from any statuteny, it does -- scrutiny, it does impact policy decisions. brian: all right. i want to turn to this, japanese car manufacturer toyota announcing they're investing $1.3 billion into a flagship plant here in kentucky where it will manufacture new all-electric suvs. so, neil, what's interesting to me about this is toyota is the company that has said hybrids are really more of the solution than evs, and they've taken a lot of flak for that. they've also performed pretty well because they've made that bet. but now they're going ev in kentucky. what do you think they're doing here? >> look, on the one hand i'm a cayenne,

regulations pushed by the biden administration, including by their two climate czars, john kerr and i john podesta, who individuals who are among the democrat elite and are simply out of touch with everyday americans. it's why i urge my colleagues to support h.r. 987 so americans aren't further burdened with policies that have seen failed throughout the world. house republicans will continue to fight for american energy independence on behalf of the american people. i yield back. the speaker: for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina seek recognition? the gentleman is recognized. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the failed policies of biden and democrats are costing americans families over $11,400 more a year to buy the basics. mr. wilson: the dollar stores i shop at are now $1.25. when biden took office, inflation was just 1.4%. since then inflation has risen by 17.2% over the last year families are paying 20% more for car insurance, 19% more for frozen juice, 11% more for beef steak, 10% more for transportation, 7% more for baby food, and formula. house republicans led by speaker mike jo

when you think about the permitting side, one of the interesting questions about that is that john podestather people on the progressive left of the energy and climate equation have been saying we need permitting reform because the large-scale projects funded out of the ira are going to see those dollars stranded if they do not have projects they can move into. can you tell us your take on permitting reform? is there equilibrium possible between the hydrocarbon world and the renewable energy? >> i think that is the only way to move forward . the administration is focused on transmission lines but we need pipelines. if you carbon capture, you need permitting. it is astonishing. this seems like a nitty-gritty issue. it is years and years to get things done. if we had the kind of permitting system we had when eisenhower was president, we would never have national interstate highways. >> one of the things you outlined in the book is you have concern as we move to a less carbon dependent economy that the regulatory environment can take us to a place where the need for energy is greater than, pa

wikileaks were able to tranche of emails to publish a tranche of emails from john podesta, who is thenton campaign. and this revealed all kinds of things about what was going of course. uh, going on. yes. of course. uh, behind the scenes. >> that's point, isn't >> but that's the point, isn't it? you know, part of a journalist's job is to say the things that people power things that people in power don't to say. yeah, don't want you to say. yeah, but to things are to reveal those things that are in interest, is it in the public interest, is it not case that a lot of the, not the case that a lot of the, the, the things that assange ended revealing these the, the things that assange endedwere avealing these the, the things that assange endedwere actually these the, the things that assange endedwere actually important ese leaks were actually important for know? leaks were actually important for absolutely.? leaks were actually important for absolutely. i mean, you >> absolutely. i mean, if you think revealing things think they were revealing things like iraq, you like war crimes in iraq,

but today, it was reported that one of the plan's main architects, soon to be climate envoy, john podesta, might have other reasons to damper america's l.n.g. future. his brother, a long-time lobbyist for foreign l.n.g. companies, including one founded by resolution energy oligarchs, hmm. this important legislation would immediately reverse the president's de facto ban and take the power to approve l.n.g. exports away from the political whims of the white house and the d.o.e., placing it with bipartisan federal energy regulatory commission. l.n.g. exports help us reduce global emissions, lower price to more supply, and grow our economy and industrial base. president biden and his cabal are putting foreign ad very is as ahead of the american. that's got to stop. support this legislation. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. the gentleman from south carolina reserves. the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: i yield three minutes to the ranking member of the energy subcommittee from colorado. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from colorado is re
