meanwhile senator ted cruz is taking aim at biden climate czar john kerry after kerry told energy sector workers who lose their jobs to just find new ones and clean energy policies are not to blame. senator cruz on this. >> what an arrogant, out of touch statement for a millionaire to say you little people, you know. i don't like the choices you are making and so your jobs go away. the democratic elites have decided that blue collar workers, that union members, that men and women with calluses on their hands have made the wrong choices. >> harris: more lawmakers questioning why the national guard is still on capitol hill despite no apparent threat. and climate change hypocrisy. john kerry called out for using private jets and yachts while leading the climate change charge. plus mounting concerns about children's mental health while outside the classroom with all that virtual learning. why experts are sounding the alarm. in just a few minutes i'll talk with janice dean about a brand-new scathing report on governor cuomo's handling of the coronavirus pandemic in new york nursing homes. jan

thank you, secretary kerry as well. now it's my great honor to introduce next up is another great american mayor, good friend, mayor of des moines, iowa, head of the global thickly, franconia. sorry, frank. i threw that out. my dear friend. [inaudible] >> we can hear you. >> okay good. so thank you, mayor walsh. i would like to start by making this quick observation. four years mayors worldwide have been the clarion call of climate change at a time when our national international leaders too often lag in their responsibilities. why? because as mayors we have seen far too often the devastating consequences of climate change manifest themselves in our cities and towns come disrupting lives, impacting livelihoods. we know the threat is at our doorstep as secretary mentioned, and the clock is ticking. that is what i'm proud that america's mayors, regardless of any party affiliation stepped up when the previous administration withdrew from the paris agreement to reassure our residents and our allies that the united states wo

conference of mayors as they hear from president biden's top climate change advisors, john kerry kerry, and gina mccarthy. >> join partners in the business community to implement local solutions to the many climate challenges we have. we also recognize to address this challenge, we need a constructive federal partner and thank god we have got one now. these are difficult times and we need additional resources. the conference of mayors worked hard to establish the energy efficiency and confirmation -- conservation block program to help jump start over 1000 climate change initiatives that produce both short and long-term impacts. we need to expand on these initiatives to meet these goals we have all set and we threw -- so urgently need to meet. we recognize that addressing climate change will save our environment and provide good paying jobs, it will boost our economy, and we human beings must be humble. we often act as if we are separate and apart from nature and in fact we are nature, we are interdependent part of the picture of the environment. i am pleased that president biden shares

and president biden, john kerry, and the whole gang company to be just getting warmed up. mr. kerry admitted yesterday that even if the united states somehow brought our carbon emissions to zero, it wouldn't make much difference in the global picture. that's because our competitors, including china, have already gone roaring past us. but there is one kind of cooling these policies will achieve. they will affect the job markets in communities all across america. in the state of new mexico, 65% of oil and gas production is tied to federal lands. by one estimate, 16,000 jobs will be on the chopping block in that stayed alone. that state alone next year if president biden's ban holds up. in colorado, it costs another 3,000 jobs and more than 40% of the state's natural gas production. as a kentuckian, i'm also familiar with the ways these democratic policies can hurt communities. kentucky paid dearly for the first round of these liberal policies under president obama. we have no desire to be subjected to a sequel, especially when john kerry says we should take the rate at which coa

we have kerry brown kerry is the director of the lao china institute professor of chinese studies at king's college london gentlemen welcome to you all coming to you 1st how will be judging carry on trying to reshape hong kong in the coming year. it is obvious that it may case comforting scheme that turn hong kong into just send all the never city confiscating is freedom and in for examples rights so in the near future shame the next year i believe that i have end up roach will continue and hong kong people will continue to be suffering from these political persecution and put some of this into an immediate historical context if you can was covert a game changer for the chinese government. no actually not i mean the game changer was the security law that was passed earlier this year which basically allowed the authorities crackdown on what they saw as reprehensible so they did not see the way that made us they saw that a small group of protesters were trying to hijack the economy and the politics of hong kong and in essence make it and which would be of course trees kerry brown in ca

turns out john kerry is not willing to make the same sacrifices.which emits up to 40 times more carbon per passenger than a commercial plane. something makes me think this isn't just about climate, but government control. >> greg: we learned during covid that the more remote you are from your consequences, the more likely you will make people's lives worse. how casual he is about it, "you will get another job, doing what? who knows. there's a lot of jobs, anyway, not my problem. i just chilled your job." the other thing that bugs me is why him? why are we bringing back this stuff? it's weird to see him at all. these people never leave. joe doesn't know anyone under the age of 75, and you're telling me that there's nobody in america but him to do this job? it's like joe went up to the attic and found his old favorite play toy, a wooden soldier, and brought him down for everybody. >> katie: now he's got an excuse to go to paris. the ocean is rising and is don't they have an estate right next to the water? >> juan: i don't know. why does trump live in

particularly my best buddy, john kerry. asking a former secretary of state to come back and do this, i know it has been a big ask. it is my fault. i was going to blame kamala as well. vice president harris: why not? [laughter] president biden: i don't think anybody knows more about the issue. and the damage that has been done by some of the executive orders from the previous administration. we will get to it. today is climate day at the white house, jobs day at the whe house. we are talking about about american innovation, products, labor. we are talking about the health of our families, cleaner water, cleaner air, and the health of our communities. it is a future with enormous hope and opportunity. it is about coming together in the moment to deal with this maximum threat that is now facing us, climate change, with a greater sense of urgency. we have already waited too long to deal with this climate crisis, and we cannot wait any longer. we know it in our bones that it is time to act. and i will put this parenthetically, i

jesse: john kerry is an idiot. they are firing people and tell them to go make solar panels? did you know solar panel makers get paid half what the pipeline guys make? 11,000 jobs lost from canceling the keystone pipeline. 5,000 jobs killedilled because e stopped border construction. joe joined the squad and aoc loves it. >> i'm extraordinarily encouraged. i think the significance of president biden's executive orders communicate a lot. jesse: joining me, former acting dni and fox news contributor and ari fleischer. >> when she is brazen you, you better duck. you put your finger on the core issue. the media loves to cover words. the american people need to know results. the press covers joe biden's seemingly moderate words and gives him credit for it. but all this executive actions are far left from a policy point of view which kills jobs and kills opportunities as opposed to what they inherited. prepandemic we had the lowest poverty rate since 1959 for people without high school degrees. we need to go back to those days and not kill jobs and wages with these regulations. jes

we'll hear from president biden's special presidential envoy on climate change, john kerry, and white house national climate adviser gina mccarthy. >> welcome. this is a critical conversation we're having this afternoon. i would like to welcome our members, our staff, the media and c-span as well for broadcasting us here today. as the mayors of america, we have recognized the tremendous impact climate change has had on our cities, people, and environment. i'm proud of america's mayors because we've stepped up and always stepped up in a bipartisan manner and joined partners in the business community to implement local solutions to the many climate challenges that we have. but we also recognize to address this local national and global challenge, we need a constructive federal partner and thank god we have one now. these are difficult times and we need additional resources. the conference of mayors worked hard to establish the energy efficiency and conservation bloc program that jump started climate change initiatives. we need to expand on these initiatives in order to meet these goals

the good jobs and low-energy costs that go with it but biden's presidential envoy for climate john kerryue. >> workers have been said a false narrative, the notion that somehow dealing with climate is coming at their expense. know it is not. workers are going to see with the efforts of the biden administration they are going to have much better set of choices and will create more jobs. >> reporter: the climate czar is facing criticism in his newly created role, foxnews.com breaking the story last night that shows faa records indicate carry-ons a private jet which runs contrary to his agenda of cutting fossil fuels. the white house is not commenting. meanwhile the executive action continues, so far biden has issued 24 orders, 38 actions and we expect more coming today later this morning on healthcare, tomorrow on immigration. >> he said he was going to do it and he is doing it. thank you. >> senator ted cruz in texas slamming john kerry calling his remarks, quote, arrogant towards the american people. take a listen. >> john kerry in the same news conference you put up said we need to lear

internationally, former secretary of state john kerry is now the administration's climate envoy. he is tasked with read -- leading worldwide efforts to reduce carbon emissions and develop green technology. joining me now from copenhagen is the director of a partnership that advises developing countries on sustainable development. it's good to have you on the program. let me get your reaction to president biden bringing the u.s. back into the paris climate agreement. >> thank you for having me. it was a strong, symbolic act that he signed the executive order yesterday. the u.s. will now in a months time be part of the paris agreement again. they will still be participating, but with trump's view on climate, there has not been much active participation. when it comes to u.s. leadership oath internationally, but also looking at the climate, biden and harris -- we are seeing a path to domestic action, which you mentioned in the introduction also. a lot of my friends are quite optimistic because john kerry has the lead on international climate issues, but you can also see a number of

john kerry joins me now. welcome, secretary kerry. >> glad to be with you.inviting me. >> so let me first ask you, do you think that we have the time to actually ramp up not just rejoin paris but to do more? because as you know, many climate scientists believe that the 2050 goals are just too inadequate now for the challenges we face. >> well, the goals thus far have been inadequate. the goal out of paris -- the goal of achieving a 1.5 degree limitation on the rise of earth's temperature is absolutely the appropriate goal. but the current promises of countries through the paris agreement are in insufficient to get the job done. but you were asked, do we have time to be able to do it. yes. scientists three years ago said we have about 12 years within which to make the decisions that would avoid the worst consequences of climate crisis. we have used up three of those years without the trump administration doing anything, in fact, working against those efforts. so now we have nine years within which we have to make key decisions and actually less because obviou

presidential climate envoy john kerry says getting china to the table is key. so, blinken's view on human rights makes complicate the effort on climate. >> how do you cooperate with china in climate change when you say you agree that it engaged in? >> the interest of china and the interest of the united states and countries around the world to make concrete progress in combating global warming. >> close to 90%, about 88, i guess, of all of the missions come from outside our borders, too. so the whole world has to come to this table together to solve this problem. >> shannon: by the way, tonight, foxnews.com is reporting that the kerry family

charles: biden's climate envoy, john kerry, says don't worry to the thousands of oil and gas workerscould lose their jobs under the new climate orders. here's how texas senator ted cruz responded when he spoke with maria on fox news prime time. >> -- that the democratic elites have decided that blue collar workers, that union members, that men and women with callouses on their hands -- call us on their hands, they've made the wrong choices, in john kerry's word. that is not a unifying message. it's not doing the job we should be doing fighting for working men and women in this country. maria: i know that when businesses are faced with new expenses, a new regulatory backdrop which involves higher cost, that consistents into earnings. the first thing the they do is look to where to cut the fat, where am i going to cut back because i'm facing new fees, i'm facing new regulatory hurdles. are you expecting business to look at these new regulations around climate and say, well, i'm going to have to cut here, i'm going to have to cut there, and we know that the oil industry is not just one

kerry: that is why we will stick by it. our word is strong. i have been on the phone for the last few days talking to our allies in europe and elsewhere around the world. they are welcoming us back. they know that this administration already had a significant part of what will bring us to lascaux, which is the paris agreement. the obama-biden agreement -- administration had great ability on this issue know that having president biden who is driving this forward as a meaningful to the fold stare. they know that i was deeply involved in the negotiations in paris and now, task by the president, president biden, to make certain that we do the same in glasgow if not more. i had no one to question our credibility at this point in time. someone probably will. the answer will be, i think we can achieve things in a course of the next four years that will move the marketplace the private sector, global finance, innovation and research, in fact, no one, no political person in the future will be able to undo what the planet is going to be organizing over

you would think john kerry would have addressed this before.ly considered for this position for a long time. sure enough, that's not happening. ainsley: all right. so let's talk about school closures because of covid. in this one county in virginia loudoun cut they are trying to decide how they are going to reopen and they closed for distanced learning after 19 people in the district got covid. the parents are furious because here we are months later, so many counties have learned to reopen safely and they had a meeting yesterday. the board is going to vote on tuesday whether or not they are requesting to let k through 5 go back to school. the middle school and high schoolers have already decided they are going to go back on march 3rd. the parent are frustrated. they are able to come in one at a time it appears to the podium and talk to the school board. this man is so upset because his child or children in the district are at home, not with their friends. they are having to zoom to talk to their teachers and he has had enough of it. he is sick

and you will see and hear more about that from secretary kerry. but here at moment, we have to do our part or we will not be able to make the kind of worldwide change that climate change demands. so this executive order establishes a white house office of domestic climate policy and it directs everyone who works for the president to use every tool available at our disposal to solve the climate crisis because we're going to take a whole of government approach. we're going to power our economy with clean energy. we're going to do that in a way that will produce millions of american jobs that are going to be good paying, that are going to be jobs that have the opportunity for workers to join a union. because as president biden has often told us, when he thinks of climate change, his first thought is about jobs, and it should be, because people in this country need a job, and this is about making that happen in the most creative and significant way that the federal government can move forward. we're going to make sure that nobody is left behind. i'm n

the uk government, as host of the glasgow conference, will be hoping mr kerry's efforts pay off. says having a us administration that's really engaged on the climate issue is good news indeed. i think it's great to have the us administration back at that table on the global fight against climate change. i think what's incredibly encouraging is that, within hours of the inauguration being completed, president biden, one of the first executive orders he signed was to rejoin the paris agreement. it is only a week since the new administration took power, and it has already taken big steps to reverse trump's policies on climate, but the agenda is ambitious, and bothjoe biden and john kerry know their efforts will have to overcome opposition from within the us. justin rowlatt, bbc news. a coroner has found that numerous errors in the processing of a benefits claim led to a woman from nottingham taking her own life. philippa day died in 2019, after mistakes in her application for the main disability benefit left her in debt and fearing for her future. the errors, said the coroner, were

let them work elsewhere, john kerry exclaimed, you know, saying. it is a worthy sacrifice. a worthy sacrifice, according to jennifer granholm, where is her sacrifice? and just go out and find another union job, says the ever really experienced mayor pete. mayor of south bend. the party who claims to have a monopoly on compassion for all of us, i'm not seeing much compassion at all for all these hardworking americans that are anxious and can sleep tonight, worried where the next paycheck is going to come from, and wondering whether or not it will ever be able to replace the good jobs you just took from them. and remember, these job-killing policies didn't go through congress. stroke of a pen, thousands and thousands unemployed, because joe biden, listening to thean radical left that controls him. he did it with a stroke of a pen. a few months ago on the campaign trail, there was biden, he was claiming that governing by executive fiat was something that dictators do. no, we've got to get the votes, he said. this is a democracy. what happened, joe? in case you forgot. which is

critics coming out by an on my john kerry after faa records show kerry's family still owns a privategenda to admit more than 40% more carbon as commercial flights. we aren't asking him to live in a speech health, but is this too hypocritical for his role? >> miranda: how outrageous. he's running around preaching to the rest of us about carbon emissions that he would do about his own close to home, and is reminiscent of al gore, who is an enormous tennessee would basically's at the same as 21 years of the electricity the average american uses. we saw them flying into jets to the inauguration, we had that thing a couple years ago with celebrities like leo dicaprio taking the private yachts and debts. they are hypocrites. it's about what's good for them and it's the little people who have to curb their lifestyle. >> emily: dagen? >> dagen: instead of limousine liberal, they need to change it to "private jet progressive," or just pj progressive for short. the message from john kerry's career is marry somebody rich. that's his greatest accomplishment. >> emily: [laughs] harris? >> harris:

you would think john kerry would have addressed this before.red by this position for a long time. todd: the white house did not respond to fox news's request for comment. needed to the vehicle by which the jet is employed to the sky. keep in mind 40 times more carbon used by private planes than commercial. with that this situation in san francisco is something else. folks, the san francisco board of education plan to strip names from school of historical figures, 44 of them in fact. my question is how much will things improve based on this move by the san francisco school board? >> i am going out on a limb. sometimes you take chances. i think lincoln was a good president. to change the name is quite remarkable considering what he did for basic human rights and freedoms for people regardless of color i don't think we want to be changing that name and paul revere is going down as far as the school is concerned and even diane feinstein is going down. it is amazing we are concentrating on changing school names instead of opening to your point schoo

particularly my best buddy, john kerry.sking a former secretary of state to come back and do this is -- i know it's a big ask on the part of myself, i was going to blame kamala for it as well. >> i got it. >> but john's been deeply involved. the secretary has been deeply involved with climate issues a senator and legislator as well. i don't think anybody knows more about the issue and the damage that's been done by so many executive orders of the previous administration. and you run everything, thank you very much. let me get to it, today is climate day in the white house which means today is jobs day at the white house. we're talking about american innovation. american products, american labor. and we're talking about the health of our families, cleaner water, cleaner air, and cleaner communities. we're talking about national security. and america leading the world in the clean energy future. it's a future of enormous hope and opportunity. it's about coming to the moment to deal with this maximum threat that is with us now

and me kerry lamb she she went on the airwaves she actually spoke before the united nations saying it would only target an extremely small minority of people who have breached the law while the life the property the basic rights and freedoms of the overwhelming majority of hong kong residents will be protected that's a message that you amplified by that you echoed for various journalistic publications tell me mr team did you get it wrong the system seem like just a small minority of people who have been targeted these are the leaders of the pro-democracy movement the main figures more than 50 people rounded up mass arrests why would she do not believe them because they've arrested only 50 people and most likely a lot of them will never be charged the key is. who will be charged and on what basis don't we all have the patience to listen and see anymore don't we are we are all just getting super hyped and super sensitive these are people that join a primary that's the only common factor among them they are now looking into each of them where in their. journey towards participating in th

, men and women with calluses on their hands, they've made the wrong choices in john kerry's words. well that is not a unifying message and not doing the job we should be doing fighting for working men and women in this country. >> maria: i know when businesses faced with new expenses, new regulatory which involves higher cost, that cuts into earnings. the first thing they do is look to where to cut the fat. where mike going to cut back because i'm facing new fees, new regulatory hurdles? are you expecting businesses to look around the regulations of climate change and i will have to cut here, i will have to cut there. we know that we'll industry is not one segment. there is a lot of indirect exposure throughout the economy and business that gets touched by this. >> that is exactly right and the nobility of the elitist left is they show how noble they are men willing to give away your child but notice it's never their job they are giving away. never they are silicon valley billionaire supporters. it's never wall street. it's never hollywood. if they are willing to give away someone

it's a real issue and miss mccarthy and the secretary kerry, it's a real need for places i live to deal with jobs and if we don't lead with jobs on this issue we will continue to lose on this issue because right now in places like where i live it is not a winning escutcheon point. if you remember when i first came to city council one of the first things we did is we were more thoughtful and save the money was with a rooftop garden on to help with water runoff and you would've thought we had created something that was completely superfluous because people don't understand it but in this communities like mine that has lost a tremendous amount of jobs because of the loss of manufacturing due to tough trade deals, the opportunity to show good paying jobs in these communities because when the last time we had discussions around climate, the only city in the state of ohio that saw jobs creation was toledo and while i love toledo it's 2 and a half hours away so that does not explain the work in the ohio river valley so i'm pleased and i think as we talk about from the marshall plan standpoint

and you will see and hear more about that from secretary kerry. but here at home, we have to do our part. or we will not be able to make the kind of worldwide change that climate change demands. so this executive order establishing a white house office of domestic climate policy. and it directs everyone who works for the president to use every tool available at our disposal to solve the climate crisis. because we're going to take a whole of government approach. we're going to power our economy with clean energy. we're going to do that in a way that will produce millions of american jobs that are going to be good paying. that are going to be jobs that have the opportunity for workers to join a union. because as president biden has often told us, when he thinks of climate change, his first shot is about jobs. and it should be. and people in this country need a job. and this is about making that happen. in the most creative and significant way that the federal government can move forward. and we're going to make sure that nobody is left behind. and i

10 times for new times and that's what the op was if you were doing one point i think that's what kerry was talking about and there are concerns as we have mentioned that there is an attempt now to neutralize in fact the opposition in order to have things run more smoothly for the probation side for example the decision to postpone elections by a year. into human rights watch has said the following about that they said that in november 29th pro-democracy candidates won local elections overwhelmingly that electoral showing seems to be why they have alleged kerry lam's government has disqualified pro-democracy candidates for hong kong's legislative council and in any event postponed those elections for a year they write what a better way to neutralize the power of hong kong's example than by pretending that the city's pro-democracy movement is the result of nefarious foreign influences was postponing the election and attempt to neutralize the opposition. another great question. if. covert 19 is not an act of god and there is proof that there's a massive conspiracy behind covert 19 that ac

and i mean kerry lam she she went on the air waves she actually spoke before the united nations saying it would only target an extremely small minority of people who have breached the law while the life the property of the basic rights and freedoms of the overwhelming majority of hong kong residents will be protected that's a message that you amplified that that you echoed for various journalistic publications tell me mr t. you did you get it wrong the system seem like just a small minority of people who have been targeted these are the leaders of the pro-democracy movement the main figures more than 50 people rounded up mass arrests why would you do not believe them because they've arrested only 50 people and most likely a lot of them would never be charged the key is that the who will be charged and on what basis don't we all have the patience to listen and see anymore don't we are we all just getting super hyped and super sensitive these are people that join a primary that's the only common factor among them they are now looking into each of them where in their. journey towards part

particularly my buddy, john kerry coming. i know this is a big ask. i was going to kamala for it as well. >> why not? >> the secretary has been deeply involved in climate issues as a senator. i don't think anybody knows more about the issue and the damage that's been done by some of the executive orders by the previous administration. today is climate day at the white house which means today is jobs day at the white house. we're talking about american innovation, products, american labor and talking about the lelt -- health of our families, cleaner water, cleaner air and cleaner communities. we're talking about national security and america leading the world in a clean energy future. it's a future of enormous hope and opportunity. it's about coming to the moment to deal with this maximum threat that we now facing us on climate change with a greater sense of urgency. my view we have already waited too long to deal with this climate crisis. we can't wait any longer. we see it with our own eyes. we feel it. we know it in our bones and it's time to act. i

john kerry, i have a message for you. scrap your plane.t don't sell it, because somebody else will be leaving a carbon footprint. i want you to take it and have it dismantled and show that you mean it. you are going to sacrifice like you are asking the american worker to sacrifice.d don't hold your breath. >> pay your taxes on that boat. pay your taxes on that boat in rhode island. remember that story? pay the taxes on that too, buddy. >> sean: and put those windmills outside the kennedy compound. all right, turning to a fascinating story on washington. i've been watching this all day. can't stop. so gamestop, their shares are through the roof, up, what, like 300% after a group of independent small-time retail investors banded together to outsmart major hedge funds like melvin capital. they were shorting in what is now being characterized as a full-fledged populist uprising against the wall street establishment. here to explain all of this, fox business editor lauren simonetti. i kind of love the story because they have t

and by appointing one of the country's most senior politicians, john kerry, as his climate envoy, joece more that tackling climate change will be at the heart of his presidency. it is clearly one of his very top priorities. it's why he rejoined the paris agreement within hours of being sworn in as president. it's why today he's issued executive orders, mobilising every department, every agency of the united states government to focus on climate. california has experienced record droughts, as well as record fires, in recent years — evidence that even one of the richest states in the richest nation on earth can't immunise itself against the kind of weather climate change is expected to bring. heat, cold, all of these weather patterns aren't in and of themselves that strange. it's the frequency with which they're happening, and how unpredictable everything is, and it's very difficult for a farmer. john kerry was instrumental in negotiating the landmark global climate accord in paris in 2015, when he was president 0bama's secretary of state. he says a key objective now is to try and persu
